Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 287 The sea is open to all rivers
Upon hearing the name, Lin Jiang was slightly taken aback, and then a strange expression appeared on his face:
"You seem to have told me about this technique before."

"Do I have one?" Old Zhao was slightly bewildered when he heard this.

"Back then, you called my eating and drinking skills 'the ocean embraces all rivers'."

"Oh." Old Zhao suddenly remembered: "At the time, I thought you had already learned the concept of 'embracing all rivers,' and I just mentioned it casually. Now it seems that you probably haven't learned it yet."

Lin Jiang glanced sideways at Gong Xuan, only to see a look of helplessness on Gong Xuan's face:
"Don't look at me, I don't know how either."

Gong Xuan mainly cultivated the external arts of Qimen, and eating and drinking were merely the foundation for entering the Dao. He devoted all his energy to "playing and having fun" afterward, and he had never heard of this method.

"This is not actually a pure cultivation technique involving eating and drinking. Once mastered, it allows one to absorb all the surrounding Qi into one's own body with each breath. It's just that it becomes even more powerful when combined with eating and drinking."

Old Zhao gave a brief explanation, and Lin Jiang's expression at that moment was slightly subtle:

"Just from the name, you can tell this method is incredibly effective, but you want me to practice it now?"

There might not be enough time.

Lin Jiang felt that he had mediocre talent in cultivation, but he learned the alchemical formulas quickly, all because there was a study group in his inner vision palace who worked day and night.

Even if you taught me now, I'm afraid I might not be able to learn quickly.

"You don't need to learn, at least not this time."

Old Zhao shook his head, then explained to Lin Jiang:

"The art of embracing all rivers, also known as the art of swallowing clouds and exhaling breath, is based on the principle of absorption and intake. When I was young, I encountered a rain of arrows from the grassland people while marching on the grasslands. It was difficult to break through the encirclement. Later, with the help of the power of the altar, I managed to open this magic gate once and finally broke through the encirclement."

Lin Jiang finally understood what was going on.

I can't learn it on my own, but I can collaborate with Mr. Zhao.

Old Zhao was in charge of absorbing and taking in, while I was in charge of swallowing everything that he took in.

It sounds like force-feeding a duck, but now it seems to be the best method.

"This method is ultimately a stopgap measure, and I don't even know if there's a limit to your digestive ability. Will consuming too many calamities cause discomfort to your internal energy?"

Old Zhao's expression was solemn:
"Young Master Lin, would you be willing to give it a try?"

Lin Jiang subconsciously touched his stomach.

Feeling unwell with internal energy?
Lin Jiang just thought it smelled pretty good.

"Come!"

"it is good!"

Old Zhao could feel his illusory realm being gradually compressed. Without hesitation, he waved his hand, and a large bell suddenly appeared in front of him.

This bell is as tall as two people, entirely black, and heavy in texture; it is clearly a superior treasure.

Old Zhao picked it up and carried it on his shoulder:
"Old buddy, open the tailgate."

"Um……"

The clock emitted an extremely deep female voice, and then Lin Jiang clearly saw the lid-like structure at its tail instantly open.

"?"

Is this how you use a bell? Don't try to fool me, you barbarian warrior.

Old Zhao didn't care about any of that. He steadied the bell, made a slight adjustment, and precisely aligned the notch at the end of the bell with Lin Jiang's mouth.

He was facing directly towards the road ahead:
"I'm about to use the magic method."

"it is good."

Lin Jiang composed himself and calmed his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lao gave a low shout, and a resonant hum immediately emanated from the mouth of the bell.

In an instant, invisible smoke and mist surged out from inside the bell, swirling and turning into a rapidly spinning vortex in the blink of an eye.

The pale pink liquid and the squid floating on the sea surface seemed to be seized by an invisible force, rising into the air, being drawn into the vortex, and spinning into the giant bell!

The ocean embraces all rivers, plus the art of eating, drinking, and internal organ manipulation!

Lin Jiang suddenly felt a large amount of Qi surging into his body.

The speed of this infusion was much faster than the one he experienced in the Hundred Gardens last time!
It doesn't mean that its volume is larger than that of the Hundred Flowers Garden, but rather that this wave of influx is more intense than before.

After all, back then in the garden, Lin Jiang chewed slowly, one bite at a time; but now he swallowed it whole, so the flow of flavor was naturally different!
This was the first time he had ever fully utilized his skills in eating and drinking.

But one must admit that the flavor of this "calamity" is not bad.

Most things touched by the pink liquid turned into swimming fish. After being processed by Zhao Lao's "Na" technique, their size was greatly reduced, and they flowed into Lin Jiang's mouth, just like tasting the essence of fresh fish soup.

Everyone around was stunned. Jiang Jinyue and Gong Xuan remained calm, having witnessed Lin Jiang's ability to eat and drink as he devoured mountains and soil. Only the general who had come with Elder Zhao was somewhat horrified.

He couldn't help but stare wide-eyed in Lin Jiang's direction. After observing for a moment, he realized that his gaze was too direct and so he lowered his eyes.

But he didn't restrain himself for long before he started glancing sideways at the other side again.

It's weird, take another look.

With their combined efforts, the pink liquid swirling around them was pulled and absorbed completely, and the night sky opened up to both sides, allowing the dazzling sunlight to shine back onto the sea, causing ripples to spread across the ocean.

"Now is the time! Set sail!"

Several crew members hurriedly tried to raise the sails and set sail, but shortly after they entered the cabin, the captain, who had been sailing during the day, suddenly roared:
"Da Yin's magic runes are broken!"

The ships in Daxing either rely on rowing or the wind, but with the Dharma of Da Yin, they can move forward solely by relying on the Dharma.

Now that the method used by the Great Yin on the boat has failed, they have to use laborers to row the boat temporarily, but there is not enough time.

The general, who had been staring intently at Lin Jiang with an aura that seemed to devour the heavens and earth, immediately snapped back to reality. He pulled the halberd from behind his back with a powerful backhand and leaped into the air.

Gripping his weapon tightly, the general thrust it fiercely towards the rear of the ship.

The halberd, which was originally only as tall as a person, suddenly grew to more than ten times its original length, and with a loud bang, it plunged deep into the sea, creating a giant wave higher than the ship.

The general's feet slammed heavily onto the sails. With a powerful twist of his arms, he swung the halberd, causing the handle to suddenly expand and propell the entire ship forward at breakneck speed.

Many people on board were thrown about by the sudden force, and several crew members nearly fell into the sea.

The railing that one of the crew members was leaning against was already corroded by the pink liquid, and its bottom was teeming with shellfish-like creatures. When it was violently thrown, the railing snapped with a crack, and the crew member cried out as he fell into the sea.

Just then, a soft chuckle was heard, and a small figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Suddenly, a beautiful young girl, whom he had never seen before on the ship, dressed in coarse linen, reached out and lifted him into the air.

She swiftly pulled all the crew members who were nearly in the water back onto the deck.

"Whoosh! Here comes the great hero!"

The little girl shouted in a clear voice and darted off to rescue others.

Amidst towering waves, the ship roared through the thick darkness of night, and the rising dawn instantly illuminated the entire vessel.

Many sailors who had never experienced great storms couldn't help but shed tears when they saw the rising sun leaping out of the sea in the distance.

In their daily voyages, they were used to the sunlight shining on the shimmering sea, but only now did they truly appreciate the beauty of the scene.

After the ship continued to surge forward for some distance, the mast that had been supporting the general finally gave way, creaking under the strain as it crashed against the deck.

To prevent the mast from smashing the large ship, the general swiftly landed and used his weapon to flick the entire mast straight into the sea.

As the mast plunged into the sea, a crackling sound echoed around the hull.

The generals breathed a sigh of relief when they were truly out of danger.

However, Zhao Lao and Lin Jiang did not relax for a moment. They looked back and gazed into the distance, assessing the current state of the disaster.

But behind them, a pitch-black, dome-like object was half-submerged on the sea surface.

The sea beside the black dome was turbulent. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that a large amount of seawater had poured in, transforming into fish that flowed in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Old Zhao immediately frowned.

"If these fish flow into the sea, and later swim to the shore and are caught by people, wouldn't they harm people?"

"Given their ability to turn anything they touch into a fish, neither fishing nets nor fishing rods will be able to catch them."

Lin Jiang muttered softly, knowing that this object was extremely dangerous.

This calamity has only just begun to appear on the sea surface, and its impact may be minimal. However, if it continues for a long time, all fish in the seabed may be replaced by special fish species. At that time, not only will there be no fish to catch, but many minerals in the seabed may also be transformed.

Lin Jiang once dozed off during geography class, wondering whether the entire continent would sink or float due to some mysterious physics if all its support beneath it were lost.

But he firmly believed it was by no means a good thing.

At this moment, the calamity seemed to sense something emerging from its body, its cracks writhing, and the entire pitch-black night slowly approached the ship.

At the current speed of the large ship, it will probably be caught up soon.

"Is there enough time to swallow it all?"

The military officer asked urgently.

Lin Jiang and Zhao Lao both remained silent.

Although Lin Jiang's stomach could still hold more, eating so hastily and hastily left him no time to digest.

Now his belly is so round, it would probably be a bit difficult for him to force himself to eat anything more.

The key is,

Even using the technique of embracing all rivers, this speed is probably not enough to completely devour the transformed areas.

"Mr. Zhao."

"You said."

"The ocean embraces all rivers, also known as swallowing clouds and spitting out mist. Can you actually 'spit' it out?"

"Okay." Old Zhao picked up the large bell again.
"Do you have any idea?"

"You can try it."

Lin Jiang recalled the moment he first encountered this calamity.

At that time, he used the Star-Pointing Treasure Blade of the Forging Division to kill Bai Zifeng with a single strike, and also cleaved a crack in the calamity behind Bai Zifeng.

He was using the life force within his own breath at that time.

He felt that his Qi might be effective against these calamities.

Without asking any further questions, Old Zhao set up the bell and precisely aimed the mouth of the bell at Lin Jiang's location.

Lin Jiang gathered all the Qi that had just overflowed, as well as all the Qi he could draw upon within his body, into his mouth without reservation.

The three types of Qi—life Qi, damp Qi, and cold Qi—are all pressed onto the tip of the tongue.

Eating and drinking are for nourishment, while swallowing clouds is a supplement.

In addition, it incorporates some of the techniques from the primordial fog.

Lin Jiang absorbed everything he had learned during this period into his mouth.

Breathing!

A colorless stream of air flowed out of Lin Jiang's mouth and dissipated from the bell.

"Ok?"

The ancient bell suddenly emitted a questioning sound.

next moment,
A thick fog blanketed the entire sea, while in the distance, the sunlight shone with seven colors.
