Chapter 124: The Back Door
The birds were chirping and the water was gurgling. We were right in front of the place Xi Renxiang mentioned. There were a few bubbles popping up in the middle of a small pool. It seemed like we had come to the right place.
When he came to the water pool, Lin Jin knelt down, took some spring water with both hands, took a sip, and breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Huh, this pool is rich in spiritual energy. Even the spring water contains strong spiritual energy. It seems that the mountain range occupied by the Ancient Spring Immortal Sect is a huge spiritual vein! It is blessed with great blessings and full of spiritual energy. It is indeed a holy land for cultivation!"
Because I didn’t know what Xi Renxiang meant by roasting chicken as a bait, and didn’t know when it could be used as a bait, I had no choice but to catch dozens of pheasants in the forest to practice my skills.
The night before, Lin Jin worked hard to practice the skill of roasting pheasants, but he still burned more than a dozen pheasants black. That's a perseverance!
Since I paid the price, I naturally got some gains. I cleaned the furs of a few pheasants and put them in the original world, and arrived early in the morning.
I just don’t know if I can successfully “catch” the opportunity that Xi Renxiang told me today.
"Crackling..."
The pheasant roasting on the tip of the flame slowly released a faint fragrance, and the firewood below crackled with the fire.
After sprinkling some spices on the pheasant, the increasingly strong aroma of the meat began to spread in the woods around the small water pool, seeping into every gap little by little.
"It seems that I have some talent in roasting chicken, haha. I only roasted a dozen pheasants and I have mastered the roasting skills of roasted chicken, which is pretty good."
Lin Jin was roasting and roasting himself into a state of concentration on roasting chicken, and said somewhat narcissistically.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a fat old man with a big belly came to the small pool to get mountain spring water, but he did not notice Lin Jin for the time being.
After getting the mountain spring water, the fat old man was about to leave, and he happened to see Lin Jin who was focusing on the barbecue chicken.
Seeing that Lin Jin had been staring at the roast chicken in front of him, it was okay not to look at it. As soon as he looked at it, he felt the smell of meat coming to his face. He swallowed hard and couldn't help but remind Lin Jin.
"Hey, kid, how can roast chicken be grilled like yours! If you grill it again, it will be burnt. If you don't eat it, let me eat it. It's such a waste of natural resources!"
The voice of the fat old man finally brought Lin Jin back to his senses. When he saw the "meat ball" standing next to him, he was stunned and finally remembered the purpose of coming here.
His thoughts turned quickly, and Lin Jin pretended not to care and said: "Then let me hear you tell me how to grill chicken. I want to see what secret method you have for grilling chicken."
The wrinkled fat on the fat old man's face was piled together. He smiled, put the gourd for getting spring water on his waist, and mysteriously negotiated terms with Lin Jin.
"Boy, let me eat this roasted chicken first and then I'll tell you, what do you think? Hey, don't look at me like that, it's a fair deal..."
With a twitch of his eyelids, Lin Jin already knew that his fish was showing signs of being hooked, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, it's a deal."
Lin Jin then stepped aside to let the fat old man sit down.
Who would have imagined that the fat old man almost collapsed when he sat down? Lin Jin's body was simply an invincible meatball!
The fat old man moved his fat butt, squeezed Lin Jin next to him, picked up the roast chicken on the wooden shelf and took a big bite. His pale beard was covered with golden oil stains for a while.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Watching the fat old man move his mouth four or five times, the roast chicken was basically chewed into shape. He threw away the remaining skeleton, licked the oily fragrance on his hands and said without any aura of the older generation: "Boy,
How about you bake another one for me..."
"What? I'll bake another one for you? First tell me your method of roasting a chicken, and see how it's better than my method." Lin Jin's face straightened, and he raised his hand to stop the fat old man.
The request seems like he just wants to take advantage of himself.
The obese old man blinked his two little eyes and grinned: "Actually, the method is very simple...just bake it carefully!"
"No more?"
Lin Jin was about to listen to the old man's long talk about roasting pheasants, but who knew it would only last a few words!
After getting a shameless nod from the obese old man, Lin Jin almost ran away, but for his own purposes, he changed his words and said, "I told you, old man, you just want to eat me for free, right?"
"You kid, how can you say that you are old and decrepit? Look at my figure, look at my face, look at... a typical honest and good person!" The obese old man said without blushing, as if he was the only one in the world.
A person is like a good person.
"Stop coming here. If you eat my food, you will get some benefits!"
Lin Jin deliberately showed a ferocious expression, and I have to say that Lin Jin's face changed and he really looked like a villain.
"Hey, this kid... Okay, okay, even if I eat your food, I can still give you whatever you want, hehe."
It seems that he has found a place where he can show off his talents. The fat old man stroked his small beard and said.
"I want to enter Guquan Xianzong."
Lin Jin's simple words immediately left Lafayette speechless for a moment, and it took him a long time to react.
"Your conditions...are you...a casual cultivator? It turns out that you are roasting pheasants here and waiting for me to take the bait..."
Finally reacting, Lafayette knew that he had been tricked and seemed a little embarrassed.
Although Lafayette knew that he was being plotted, he still discussed it with Lin Jin due to his status.
"This condition is a bit... difficult to handle. How about... I give you some treasures? Even if we are settled." As he said this, Lafayette began to take out things on his body.
"You can give me anything. I just want to be a disciple of the Guquan Immortal Sect. Will you give it to me?" Lin Jin made his words clear, with a look of unwillingness to give up until he reached the Yellow River.
"I can agree to other conditions, but this one really won't work! If you still hold on to this, you won't get anything by then!"
His face straightened, Lafayette showed an expression that wanted Lin Jin to take a step back, which seemed to put him in a bit of a dilemma.
It seems that Lafayette is ready to default on the debt now, so he can only use his trump card, Lin Jin thought to himself.
"Originally, when Xi Renxiang asked me to come to you for help, I knew everything, but I didn't expect that I was just a paper tiger, beautiful on the outside but weak on the inside..."
"Forget it, I'll give you this roast chicken as a gift and I'm leaving."
Lin Jin suddenly pretended to be generous and ready to leave, pretending to be just like him.
"Okay, let's go...wait, you said Xi Renxiang? Where is he! My good disciple! Have you seen him?"
When Lafayette heard Lin Jin say Xirenxiang's name, his psychological defense seemed to collapse immediately, and he asked excitedly.
Lin Jin secretly laughed in his heart and thought: This fat boy turned out to be Xirenxiang's master. He seemed to be a powerful fat guy.
He said with a serious face on the surface: "We met once. He knew that I wanted to become a disciple of Guquan Xianzong and asked me to come to you. I didn't expect that now you not only want to eat my roast chicken for free, but you are also so incompetent.
Even as a disciple, I can't help me."
Lafayette whispered to himself: "Since Xi Renxiang has found this boy, he should come to him again. Maybe I only have this chance to restore the relationship between our master and apprentice..."
It seemed that he had made some determination, and then Lafayette said to Lin Jin: "Okay, I can still help with this! But first, how about you roast a few more roast chickens for me?"
Now that he has achieved his goal, Lin Jin naturally will not refuse: "This is no problem!"
