Chapter 30 I'm not a dog. This is his natal sword, smell it...
Xuan Zhan sensed the surrounding atmosphere and said, "I can't sense his presence."
"Maybe it's too far away?" Yun Dan said, not entirely sure.
"Perhaps!"
Qianli quickly dealt with those cultivators. He didn't kill them with his own hands, but they still died, devoured by the undead they had raised. It was a fitting retribution.
The undead they nurtured using the lives of other monks eventually used them as nourishment.
The undead were not spared; they were all killed.
A mindless undead, left in this world, will only harm humanity. Moreover, this is an undead that has devoured the flesh and blood of cultivators, making it even more ferocious than ordinary undead.
When Lin Jianyu woke up, they had already returned to the camp.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she called out, "Senior Brother Zhujin."
Zhu Jin, who was making dumplings, heard her call and, forgetting all about making dumplings, quickly came to her side and said, "I'm here."
Seeing that he was completely unharmed, Lin Jianyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're not dead. Don't take the knife for me next time."
“If I hadn’t stopped you, you might already be dead,” Zhu Jin said.
"You can't trade your life for mine." Although she valued her life, she would rather die than trade someone else's life for hers.
“You risked your life to save me too. I was just doing what a senior brother should do. Even if I died, you don’t need to feel guilty,” Zhu Jin said.
"How could I not feel guilty?" She felt incredibly guilty seeing his life force rapidly fading away. Luckily, he was alright; otherwise, she would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.
Zhu Jin didn't say anything more. He raised his hand and touched her little head, covering it with flour. Then he swept it away and pretended nothing had happened.
Lin Jianyu, who was completely unaware of this, looked for Yun Dan and Zhu Liu again. Seeing that they were both alright, she then turned her attention to Jing Luo.
Even in her unconscious state, she still held the whale fall tightly in her hand. At this moment, she tightened her grip and asked Zhu Jin, "Has my master come looking for me?"
"No." Zhu Jin shook his head.
The answer was as expected, but Lin Jianyu was still somewhat disappointed.
"Why is he so slow!" It's almost dark, and he still hasn't found us.
"He might be trapped by something and can't come." Otherwise, only a whale fall would have come.
"What's trapping you?" Lin Jianyu asked.
“I don’t know, it’s just a possibility,” Zhu Jin said. “But the fact that a whale fall can occur means that it should be not far from us.”
Lin Jianyu thought the same thing. She hugged Jingluo tightly, feeling both anticipation and worry about seeing Lin Jinshui soon.
"Where are those cultivators from Gouqu Mountain?"
"Dead."
"Who killed them? A big shot?" Lin Jianyu didn't feel sorry for the deaths of those cultivators. In fact, she wished she could kill them herself.
"No, they were devoured by the undead they raised," Zhu Jin said.
"They really raise undead?" Although those cultivators had said that the two sea creature undead that attacked them were raised by them, she still found it hard to believe. After all, they were undead. Why raise undead of all things?
“Yes, Senior Qianli said that those undead were all raised by them using the flesh and blood of cultivators. Before, they trapped us in the barrier and consumed our spiritual power. They probably planned to use our flesh and blood to raise the undead after our spiritual power was exhausted,” Zhu Jin said.
"Then they really deserved to die." Lin Jianyu thought the cultivators of Wuxu Mountain were already unreasonable enough, but he didn't expect the cultivators of Gouqu Mountain to be even more perverted.
“Suzhou was occupied by the dead a long time ago, so I don’t like coming here,” Qianli said.
"Is it because the cultivators of Gouqu Mountain are raising the dead?" Zhu Jin asked.
"Not entirely. Cultivators in Gouqu Mountain have always raised spirits of the dead, but most of them use spirits to nourish spirits, that is, they use the dead to nourish the dead. Using the flesh and blood of cultivators to nourish spirits of the dead is a recent development, and it seems to have been invented by the current sect leader of Gouqu Mountain."
"In short, in recent years, Suzhou has been in a mess because of these damned cultivators, and even Zhijiang has been affected. I'm so annoyed by them." Unfortunately, the other side has a lot of people and he can't beat them.
"Won't my master fall into the hands of the people of Gouqu Mountain?" Lin Jianyu asked with some worry.
"It's possible. The Mountain and Sea Clan, especially the pure-blooded ones, would find it difficult to escape unscathed once they enter the territory of Gouqu Mountain. The reason I can come and go freely is entirely because I am a member of the Kunpeng Clan." Almost no other race can match the speed of the Kunpeng Clan.
This is also the main reason why he was able to remain unharmed despite the fact that Zhijiang is adjacent to Suzhou.
"Boss, can you sense which direction my master is in?" Lin Jianyu moved closer to Lu Jiao and asked him.
"No," Lu Jiao said.
“How could I not sense it?” Lin Jianyu said in disbelief. “My master should be nearby, otherwise his natal sword wouldn’t have appeared. This is his natal sword. Smell it and see if he’s nearby.” As she spoke, she handed him the whale fall.
Lu Jiao didn't answer. He said coldly, "I'm not a dog. What the hell are you talking about? Let me sniff you."
“But your nose is more sensitive than a dog’s, isn’t it? We were so far apart, and you could smell that I was injured and rushed to save me. There’s no reason you couldn’t smell where my master is,” Lin Jianyu said.
Lu Jiao hesitated whether to tell her that he had sensed something, not just smelled it. But he decided to tell her anyway, otherwise, he would truly become a dog in her eyes.
“I don’t smell it, I sense it. We share the same blood in our bodies, and I can sense when you are in mortal danger.”
"So you and the big boss really do have a telepathic connection." Zhu Liu couldn't help but interject.
Lin Jianyu was taken aback by the fact that it was a sensory connection, and was momentarily speechless. After a while, she asked, "Is it like how you can sense my master?"
"Um."
"Then why can't you sense which direction my master is in? You can even sense where I am," Lin Jianyu said.
"I can't sense which direction he's in because he's not around here," Lu Jiao explained.
"Impossible, he's not around here, how could his natal sword appear?" Lin Jianyu still didn't believe it.
"His natal sword appeared because you summoned it," Lu Jiao said.
"How could I possibly summon my master's natal sword? I can't even pull it out." As she spoke, she used all her strength to try and pull the sword out to show him, but it didn't budge.
“You can’t pull it out because you haven’t used the power of his bloodline within you.” Lu Jiao reached out, gesturing for her to give him the whale fall.
Lin Jianyu did not hesitate and gave him the whale fall directly.
She felt that Lu Jiao probably wanted to show her how to pluck it.
As expected, Lu Jiao took the sword and easily pulled it out of its sheath, just like Lin Jinshui.
For a fleeting moment, Lin Jianyu seemed to see the shadow of Lin Jinshui in him.
"Master," she called softly.
"I am not your master." Lu Jiao sheathed the sword and returned it to her.
"Of course you're not my master. My master would never treat me like you do." Her master was the person who loved her the most in the world, without exception.
Lu Jiao didn't want to be her master either, so she didn't refute her words.
Lin Jianyu took the whale fall in his hand and tried to pull it out again, just like he had done earlier, but he still couldn't get it out.
"How do I use the power of bloodline?"
"Use it however you want."
Lin Jianyu: "..."
What nonsense are you spouting?
"Don't you know how to teach?"
"Yes," Lu Jiao replied truthfully.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Lin Jianyu was speechless at his honesty.
She recalled what she had done before the whale fall occurred.
It seems she misses her master, she misses him terribly.
So, is it enough to just think about her master?
She started thinking desperately about her master, until her face turned red.
"Are you constipated?" Zhu Liu asked.
Lin Jianyu was a hammer.
"I'm thinking about my master."
"Why does Junior Uncle Master look constipated?" Zhu Liu asked, puzzled.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Lin Jianyu didn't want to talk to him.
"Could you go help Senior Brother Yun Dan make dumplings?" Don't get in her way here.
"Senior Brother Yun Dan thought the dumplings I made looked ugly and wouldn't let me help," Zhu Liu said.
"Useless! You can't even wrap dumplings properly," Lin Jianyu said with a look of disgust.
“You’re the one who’s useless; you can’t even use your bloodline power,” Zhu Liu retorted.
"You know how to use it?" Lin Jianyu asked, looking at him.
“Of course.” Zhu Liu proudly raised his head.
"How do I use it?" Lin Jianyu asked without hesitation.
"Well..." Zhu Liu pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with anything, because he didn't know how to teach either.
"You can't teach me either?"
“Things that are innate are things we don’t know how to teach,” Zhu Liu said.
"Useless." Lin Jianyu scoffed at him again, then ran off to find Xuan Zhan.
Xuan Zhan truly lived up to his reputation as a top student in their class; he even taught them how to use their bloodline power, but Lin Jianyu couldn't learn it.
It's not that she lacks understanding; it's just that this thing is really mysterious.
It's like an innate ability of mixed-race and pure-blooded mountain and sea races; you either have it or you don't, it's hard to learn. She certainly can't learn it in a short time.
Fortunately, she wasn't in a hurry, nor did she necessarily need to learn it.
Whale Fall was, after all, her master's natal sword. She no longer thought like she did when she was a child, that she would inherit his sword after he died. Now she just wanted him to live, to live well, and to return to her side alive.
"If I can summon Whale Fall, can my master also summon it back?" Lin Jianyu moved closer to Lu Jiao and asked him.
"Yes," Lu Jiao replied.
"If I put a note on it, can he be summoned back too?" She wanted to tell Lin Jinshui their location so he could come find them.
“No,” Lu Jiao said. “He can only summon the sword back, not the items attached to it.”
"What a pity," Lin Jianyu said with some disappointment. "I wanted to use the whale fall to exchange information with my master. I can summon a whale fall, so you should be able to too?"
"cannot."
"Why not?" Aren't they the same?
"Because I am not a bastard."
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Great, I've acquired another new skill of a hybrid.
"Why can a bastard do it, but you can't?"
“Because you inherited his bloodline, while I only possess his bloodline,” Lu Jiao said.
"I don't understand." Lin Jianyu frowned. "What's the difference between the two?"
“You have the same blood as him flowing in your veins, while I only possess his heart’s blood.” Lu Jiao rephrased it in a more easily understandable way.
"How could I have the same blood as him flowing in my body?" This doesn't make sense.
