Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 286 Can this thing be eaten? Let's try a bite.

Lin Jiang immediately woke everyone up.

In the dead of night, while the several skilled individuals were unharmed, the boatman was in a daze.

There were originally two boatmen, one in charge of daytime navigation and the other at night.

At that moment, the boatman who was in charge of the day was rubbing his sleepy eyes. He looked at Lin Jiang with resentment in his eyes, but because Lin Jiang was a nobleman who had come with the Prince of the North, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.

Old Zhao also looked at Lin Jiang with some doubt:
"Xiao Lin, what's the urgent matter that you've summoned everyone in the middle of the night?"

"A calamity is floating ahead of the route. If we do not adjust our course and rush straight towards it, the danger is unpredictable."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao's expression became even more hesitant.

He walked to the bow of the ship and gazed into the distance.

The sea was deathly still.

Under the protection of the Great Yin magic, even the sea breeze on my face felt as light as a wisp of smoke.

There was absolutely no sign of a looming crisis.

After pondering for a moment, Old Zhao took out an iron bird from his bosom.

He ran his fingers over the bird's body, and the little iron bird flapped its wings and took flight, flying swiftly in the direction Lin Jiang had pointed.

After doing all this, he waved to signal:
"All crew members shall return to rest for the time being, but shall remain on standby at any time."

Most ordinary people then dispersed.

Gong Xuan and Jiang Jinyue did not return to their rooms. They silently prepared their respective magical weapons and were ready to fight.

The general that Master Zhao brought did not leave either.

The man was a rough-looking fellow with a long halberd on his back. He looked like a typical martial artist. At this moment, he was also holding a weapon and looking around warily.

Old Zhao also waited by the cabin, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon.

He cupped his hands to his ears, listened intently, and murmured repeatedly in a low voice:

What lies ahead?

"The waters ahead are calm and still."

What lies ahead?

"The waters ahead are calm and still."

Old Zhao continued reciting tirelessly, serving as the eyes and ears of the entire ship.

After muttering to himself for a full half hour, Old Zhao finally came to his senses and shook his head in Lin Jiang's direction, saying:
There's nothing in front of you, is your method wrong?

Lin Jiang frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

Logically, there shouldn't be any errors.

He held his breath and focused his gaze inward to the little golden figures in the palace.

However, the little golden figures were still restless, with the leader rolling on the ground in anxiety.

Something must be wrong.

The ship had been sailing for half an hour, and by now it should have encountered the calamity.

Lin Jiang looked around, but couldn't see anything.

Just as he was frowning and pondering the problem, he suddenly felt a slight surge of Qi into his body with each breath.

It was just like being in Miss Jiang's garden back then.

Realizing this, Lin Jiang felt a chill and suddenly opened his mouth to take a deep breath into the air beside him.

A large amount of breath rushed into Lin Jiang's mouth, and he felt as if there was something else in his mouth.

With a snap of his teeth, Lin Jiang crushed everything in his mouth and swallowed it. Golden liquid flowed through his limbs, flowing endlessly.

Lin Jiang's expression immediately turned serious.

There's definitely something around here!

And these are things he can't see!

Thinking of all this, he disregarded everything else and immediately went to the bow of the ship, opening his mouth wide as he faced the direction the ship was sailing in front of him.

He bit down hard, guided by instinct.

He actually bit into something.

It was also a forceful tear outwards.

Just a tearing sound was heard.

Lin Jiang actually managed to pull something out with his mouth.

Old Zhao stared in disbelief in Lin Jiang's direction, his eyes wide open.

Wait, is this how you use the methods of eating and drinking?

And what exactly did you bite?

Before Old Zhao could react, a blinding light leaked out from the hole that Lin Jiang had torn open.

Through the crack in the barrier, the rays of the rising sun were spilling onto the deck.

Old Zhao suddenly came to his senses.

The sun rises much earlier than usual in late summer, leaping above the sea before the rooster crows. Especially on a clear, sunny day, when the rising sun should be visible much earlier, it is still shrouded in darkness.

It seems that this invisible thin layer has enveloped the entire ship.

As Lin Jiang tore at the barrier with his teeth, the others could also clearly see that the transparent barrier suddenly convulsed and contracted, as if the muscles had been pierced by a knife.

Immediately afterwards, a pale red, powdery liquid gushed out from the cut.

The surface of the liquid held a strange fragrance, flowing rapidly in the sunlight, instantly sealing the breach and plunging the surroundings back into darkness.

When it touched the ship's deck, the originally silent wooden planks began to writhe as if they were alive.

In what seemed like only a moment, the writhing wooden plank had transformed into a live fish.

The fish landed on another deck and immediately began to thrash about.

When the large fish touched the deck, the surrounding area also underwent rapid changes.

Some transformed into clams, while others became other species of fish.

On the large ship, the protective magic was completely ineffective and was breached in an instant.

If this trend continues, the entire ship could be transformed into sea creatures in no time.

The people on the boat were also bound to fall into the eerie ocean below, which was soaked in pink liquid and constantly churning and turning into swimming fish.

The boat suddenly shook violently. The Taoist practitioner was able to maintain his balance, but the boatman, who had no foothold in the boat, was almost thrown off by the turbulence.

Old Zhao quickly made a hand gesture, and several streams of light immediately flew out from his sleeve.

Bottles, jars, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings are displayed in a dazzling array, their brilliance radiating from the air, captivating the eye.

They floated into the air, chattering away, and Old Zhao immediately shouted:
"Support him/her, and whatever you do, don't touch those fish or that pink liquid!"

The babies responded in unison and flew straight towards the surrounding crowd.

With their help, the mortals on the teetering ship finally regained their footing and were saved from falling into the sea and drowning.

Seeing this, Old Zhao made a hand seal, and a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

A magnificent radiance burst forth from his body.

The dazzling light radiated in all directions, causing the wooden planks beneath Old Zhao's feet to crack.

It is not grotesque or broken, but rather resembles ink spreading slowly on rice paper.

Countless rare and precious treasures, such as ancient tripods, pearls, and jade, surged forth amidst laughter, singing, and dancing. The sounds of waist drums and suonas filled the air, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The precious aura grew even stronger, its color surpassing that of ordinary gold and silver. It was as green as distant mountains newly dyed, as blue as the abyss of the deep sea, as red as the depths of a furnace, and as white as the peak of a snow-capped mountain. It swirled around Old Zhao, like a companion star orbiting a fixed star.

Illusory Realm!
When he faced the pageboy in the past, Old Zhao was seriously injured, and the poppies of the Three Little Treasures were eroding his spirit and body, so he was unable to use the Illusionary Realm.

Now it's different. Although his wounds haven't fully healed, he can now drive the illusory realm without any problems.

The precious light surrounding Elder Zhao flowed like liquid, suddenly merging with the large ship before them.

The entire ship was immediately enveloped in a precious light, and the fish that had been ramming against the hull and trying to assimilate were also driven away.

The shaking gradually subsided, but the crisis was not over.

The surroundings were still shrouded in darkness, and the ocean beneath their feet was still enveloped in pink liquid.

Looking around, Master Zhao could clearly feel his illusory mirror being slowly eroded.

If they continue to resist, the illusory mirror will likely be completely corroded in a short time.

Taking the initiative is also an option; Master Zhao is confident he can weather this calamity. However, he estimates that if he does so, he will likely be seriously injured and have to return to the north to recuperate.

Lord Zhao turned his head to look in the direction of the general, intending to discuss countermeasures with him.

Just then, he noticed that Lin Jiang had somehow arrived at the side of the boat and was staring intently at the water below.

What is he doing?
Old Zhao was immediately filled with doubt.

At that moment, he saw Lin Jiang wave his hand to catch the pink liquid next to him, actually scooping up a puddle with his hands.

Old Zhao's eyes widened immediately!
He could clearly see that Lin Jiang's clothes were transforming into various land creatures at a visible speed, yet his skin remained intact and spotless.

Old Zhao was not surprised by this; taking on the calamity himself was a valid approach. However, he was puzzled as to why Lin Jiang would suddenly do this.

Even if they could withstand it, this would clearly not be a wise move.

Then, before Old Zhao could react, he saw Lin Jiang put the liquid directly into his mouth.

Lin Jiang actually drank this stuff! Old Zhao looked completely bewildered: "?"

Lin Jiang smacked his lips and said, "The taste is not bad."

Huh? It tastes pretty good? This stuff is actually edible? Are you really practicing some kind of eating and drinking method, or some strange magic?
After a brief moment of shock, Old Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly walked up to Lin Jiang.

"Xiao Lin."

"Ok?"

"Can you swallow them all at once?"

Lin Jiang looked around, his expression slightly troubled:
"Eating it isn't difficult, it's just that I don't eat fast enough."

Old Zhao blinked:

"Have you ever heard of the art of embracing all rivers?"
