Chapter 244 It seems that studying can’t make people rich

Soon the people of the Supreme Sect realized that what they earned was not a huge profit from the business, but only mental damage.

The first victim was Lin Du.

She was the first one to talk to Yue Han. Yue Han seemed to have some weird affair and knocked on Lin Du's door at dawn.

Lin Du did not sleep. She set up a top-grade spirit gathering formation above her, and the others were practicing. But she needed to suppress her stress now, and was drawing up a client version of the "Fourteen-Day Travel Guide to the Secret Realm" based on the approximate map of the secret realm given by the Feng'an Chamber of Commerce.

She thought it was Jinxuan, so she stood up and opened the door, and was met with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Zhen Liu! Good morning!"

Yue Han met Lin Du's eyes, which were still uncovered, and was stunned for a moment.

When you look inside, it seems as if you can see the gray and hazy sky when it snows heavily for several days, with no sun or moon, and no end in sight.

"Your eyes..."

The next moment, spiritual power rose from Lin Du's fingertips, and a white veil smoothly covered Lin Du's eyes from the ground.

This little thing was too dazzling, and Lin Du needed to hide urgently.

"Sorry, I have an eye disease and cannot see the light."

Lin Du released his hand that was holding on the door. "The ship hasn't set sail yet. Young Master can practice in the room. If you haven't fasted yet, someone will bring you spiritual food three times a day. Why did you come out?"

"Practice? I don't need to practice. It's boring to stay in the room."

Lin Du smiled. It was not even morning yet, so it was too early for the young master to get up.

"In that case, Master, I will come to your house later to explain the precautions and travel routes to you."

After entering this young master's house, Lin Du finally understood what it meant to be the foolish son of a rich family.

On the bed was a feather nest made of some unknown material that had a very strong spiritual flavor. All the furnishings were brand new and shining brightly. As soon as she entered the room, the warm temperature made her usually motionless smiling face stiffen for a moment.

Lin Du sighed, folded the gauze into three layers, and covered it again.

She would rather be blind than just afraid of the light.

If she stayed in this room for a while, she was afraid she would burst into tears - because she had been stabbed.

The last time I was pierced by light and had tears in my eyes was when that dragon gave me the deposit.

"Zhen Liu, would you like some fruit? They're delicious!" Yue Han sat down at the table and pushed the plate of spiritual fruits towards Lin Du.

Lin Du used his spiritual sense to scan the various fruits on the table and basically found enough food to feed a peacock. This silly boy almost had "I am a demon" written all over his face.

She pointedly said, "These are not spiritual fruits that can be found in Zhongzhou."

Yue Han was clueless and asked with blinking eyes, "Haven't you eaten it before? Try it! It's delicious."

Lin Du suddenly felt that with Yue Han's appearance, even the naive Jin Xuan seemed smart.

She suppressed her sighs and felt that she had done enough as a mother.

"Excuse me, Master, where did you put the things that were sent from the upper room?"

"Huh? What is it?" Yue Han blinked.

"Things from the Upper Frost Moon Secret Realm. You need a special mask in the Frost Moon Secret Realm. Otherwise, you will easily get infected and your lungs will be damaged when you breathe in and out. The Upper Room will give you a protective mask to reduce the chance of getting sick."

This is the price paid for the blood shed by previous generations. The first group of people who entered the Hanyue Secret Realm all developed lung diseases without exception, and only a small half survived.

The road from the unknown to opportunity is always littered with bones.

Lin Du scanned the area with his spiritual consciousness and found the box in a drawer of a table.

"My room is cleaned by Huang Xuan, so..." Yue Han became a little scared when he heard that he was prone to getting sick.

Lin Du took out the mask and said, "This is it."

"If you have gloves, I suggest you wear them. I've read a lot of records and the dust inside is much finer than the Dongming Realm and will stick to everything."

She knocked on the table and said, "Of course, you can ask your attendant. After all, people's physiques are different."

After Lin Du finished speaking, he spread out the paper and said, "This is the 14-day travel plan I customized for you, Young Master. The items include mining, going to the sea, inheriting the palace, and fighting. It is very rich and colorful. The actual situation and the right to interpret belong to me."

Lin Du finished introducing them one by one, answering all the irrelevant questions from the young master, and finally looked up at Yue Han, "Young master, is there anything you are not satisfied with? We can modify it."

The young master's eyes widened, his face full of surprise, and he finally said, "You know so much, have you been to the Hanyue Secret Realm?"

"No." Lin Du's voice was still gentle, "But I can read."

She sat opposite Yue Han, dressed neatly in green, like a frosted green bamboo in the precious light.

"It seems that studying can't make you rich. You all look so pitiful." Yue Han whispered, "You don't have any jewelry, and there are no gems on your clothes."

Lin Du was speechless. The demons really didn't know the saying that wealth should not be exposed. She finally understood it.

"So, do you have any other questions, young master?"

Yue Han shook his head and nodded.

"I want to ask, people say that people's hair is black, and only old people's hair is white, so are you an old person?"

His eyes were clear, without any malicious desire for knowledge.

Lin Du laughed, from the bottom of his heart, "I'm not. I've only lived for 25 years... to be exact."

Yue Han thought about it seriously, "Twenty-five? Isn't that still a chick... no, still a child?"

Lin Du thought for a moment and said, "There is an old saying in Zhongzhou that children of poor families grow up early."

Yue Han looked at her with even more pity.

But this emotion soon faded away, and the young master thought of another problem, "I can't understand the words on the paper you wrote, and I can't remember it in my brain. Please explain it to Huang Xuan again later!"

Lin Du was silent for a while, and began to take out the elixir to maintain her heart. She must have forgotten to take the medicine. Let Yuan Ye come and play with the young master.

Yuan Ye also quickly accepted the young master's innocent inquiry.

For example, the Xiqin is not played well, why is the singing of Lotus Flower Falling out of tune and not as good as the singing of birds, etc.

Yuan Ye was angry and arranged a set of "Birdsong in the Empty Mountain" for the young master.

Yue Han was quiet, and then asked again after listening, "You said this piece of music is called 'birds chirping in the empty mountain', but why can't I understand the bird language?"

Yuan Ye was annoyed. Good brothers had to share the difficulties, so Yan Qing was also called over.

Yan Qing was extremely patient and answered every question. He knew all the unimportant customs and styles of the aristocratic families in Zhongzhou.

Yue Han likes him very much.

The ship finally set sail.

One night, the ship suddenly shook violently, and Mo Lin, who had been practicing in the house, was the first to go out.

"It's Monk Hai!" someone shouted.

The book “Sea Creatures” says that the sea monk has a human head and a turtle body, with long legs and no armor. If you encounter it on a boat, you will be in trouble. [Note 1]

Mo Lin's eyes focused and he bumped into Huang Xuan who also came out after hearing the noise.

Huang Xuan and Mo Lin nodded and said, "It's a four-sided turtle at the seventh level of the Spirit Manifestation Stage."

Mo Lin frowned slightly, and a black gold sword-stick much longer than an ordinary sword quietly appeared in his hand. "This thing is three meters long and has great power. No wonder the ship is shaking."

The doors opened one after another, and four little heads popped out. Yan Qing led Yue Han, and Yuan Ye led Jin Xuan, each stacked on either side of the door. "What happened?"

The four of them were playing the game of picking the immortals, and the huge vibration caused the spinning tops on the table to roll under the table. [Note 2]

There was another huge shock, the sea water jumped high and hit the open defensive spiritual shield hard, and two green eyes could be vaguely seen in the sea water.

The door on the other side creaked open. It was night time. Lin Du's eyes were uncovered. She spoke lazily, "It's not a big deal."

"A four-sided turtle wouldn't easily go crazy and cause trouble. This one is clearly in a crazy state. I wonder if someone deliberately provoked it," said Huang Xuan.

Lin Du shook his head, "That's not the case."

Huang Xuan glanced at Lin Du and asked, "Your Excellency, do you know a lot about monsters?"

"I just love reading. It's written in the books that the sea monk feeds on many poisonous jellyfish, and his body is not afraid of toxins." Lin Du maintained a polite smile, with a haze in his eyes. "The only thing that is afraid of toxins is the eyes, and this turtle's eyes are glowing."

"To put it simply, it didn't cover its eyes when it was eating, and the venom got into its eyes, so it went crazy."

"You can see it?" Huang Xuan was a little surprised.

"I'm afraid of light. I can't see you when I'm next to you." Lin Dufeng turned his head and looked at Xia Wu, who was walking out behind him. "It's not a big deal. Just ask someone to throw some detoxifying pills at me."

"Why can't we see it next to us..." Huang Xuan began to wonder if their race could restrain the human race?

Mo Lin coughed softly, "Because you are too dazzling."

So dazzling that it is an eyesore.
