I have the best bloodline

Moreover, Blackwater City is really not up to par, so Hongling invited everyone to dine at Binhai City.

They plan to stay temporarily in Binhai City and return to live there once the situation in Heishui City is cleared up.

Blackwater City is just a small city, unlike Flower City, which can receive aid from the Red King and the imperial court.

The repair of Blackwater City requires the raising of donations. As for how long it will take to raise the funds, that will require the city lord to work hard everywhere. It is said that the rich people in the city will contribute funds. The city lord will certainly not use his own money to fill the hole.

Whether you stay or not is up to you. If you choose to stay, you'll have to pay for the repairs. If you don't stay, it won't affect the business of my city lord's mansion.

………………

At the Hailin Inn in Binhai City.

"Aunt Huayu, please don't do that, it itches!"

Hongling, familiar with the place, led everyone to the most upscale inn in Binhai City. She directly used spirit stones to book the second, third, fifth, and sixth floors for a banquet, where all the fellow Daoists and seniors sat at the large round table on the sixth floor.

The long-absent Hua Yu Zhenren, with a smile on her face, took Su Yan from her aunt's arms and placed her on her lap. She then naturally placed her hands on Su Yan's belly and began to knead it.

When Su Yan usually reveals his true form, he always covers up his bell and belly.

One reason is that they believe children are old enough to understand shame.

Secondly, a hairless belly is very susceptible to catching a cold.

When Su Yan was weaker, lying on the ground often caused him to experience abdominal pain. Over time, he got used to covering his belly with his tail.

But Hua Yu Zhenren seemed to know Su Yan's weakness, easily bypassing Su Yan's tail protection, and pinched and kneaded Su Yan's belly, making him exclaim: I can't take it anymore.

"It really works!"

Hua Yu saw Su Yan panting with his mouth wide open, his red tongue, which was more than 20 centimeters long, sticking out, looking like he was so happy he couldn't breathe. She couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"Auntie!"

After catching her breath, Su Yan quickly ran back to her aunt's arms and looked at Hua Yu Zhenren warily.

"What did you do to the little fox this time?"

The aunt, who was chatting with other fellow cultivators, saw Su Yan snuggle back into her arms, panting heavily. The aunt looked at Hua Yu with a black line on her face and scolded her for being silly.

"It's nothing, I just learned a trick for teasing foxes from a fellow Daoist by the roadside," Hua Yu said with a smile.

She really wasn't lying to her aunt. She had indeed been shopping in Xia Yu City a while ago when she saw a fellow Daoist teasing a fox on the roadside. The fox had scratched someone else's pet until it rolled over and its legs were twitching.

Hua Yu was curious about this, so she stepped forward to ask, "Fellow Daoist, could you teach me a move or two?"

Seeing Hua Yu's curiosity, the woman taught her. Today was Hua Yu's first time in real life, and she was surprised to find that she almost brought Su Yan to the point of being unable to breathe.

"."

After listening to Hua Yu Zhenren's story, the aunt's forehead creased with even more displeasure. She began to criticize Hua Yu Xi'er's behavior, saying, "If you really have nothing better to do, I suggest you go back to your dorm and scratch the soft flesh on your waist."

Su Yan looked at Hua Yu with a wary expression, because he felt a very familiar feeling in Hua Yu's technique, which was extremely similar to the way his mother would tickle him when she had nothing to do.

As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than their mother, and Su Yan is the one who can't stand his fox mother's tickling the most.

Seeing Hua Yu's method of scratching the fox, Su Yan was genuinely afraid that she would use it to tickle him.

"Gentlemen, we apologize for keeping you waiting."

Just as Su Yan was about to ask Aunt Hua Yu where she learned the fox-scratching technique, a waiter's shout came from outside the inn window.

A male cultivator dressed as a waiter struggled to climb the outer wall, seemingly dragging something heavy beneath him, before finally reaching the lobby. He took a couple of deep breaths and said, "Our signature cold dish is an endless platter of freshly caught seafood."

"You didn't catch it, did you?" Su Yan asked in surprise when she saw the waiter dripping with water and smelling salty and fishy.

"That's not necessarily true."

The waiter chuckled and said, "I'm just responsible for running errands to the port to pick up the goods from the ship owners. The Endless Sea is not a place for a lowly cultivator like me."

After the waiter finished speaking, he stepped one foot over the railing, half of his body dangling outside the inn, and with a thick hemp rope in his hand, he laboriously placed the cold dishes on the table.

The cold dish platter is about three meters in diameter and is covered with cleaned seafood, including sashimi, pickled crab and scallops. Although the dishes are very common, all the ingredients are seafood.

In the center of a metal plate three meters in diameter, there is a glass jar filled with seawater, inside which a sea serpent with the cultivation level of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is spraying "venom".

"I didn't say I wanted to eat you, why are you cursing at me?"

Su Yan glanced at the sea serpent curiously, but the sea serpent in the glass jar immediately started cursing at Su Yan, and also gave Su Yan's parents a good scolding.

Su Yan was so angry that she almost jumped into the glass jar and fought the sea serpent.

"It's called the Sea King Snake. It has powerful effects of nourishing yin and yang, but its venom can turn a man into a eunuch. Be careful."

Seeing that Su Yan, who had been starving for three days, was already eager to eat the sea snake, Hong Ling hesitated for a moment before speaking, reminding Su Yan to be careful when eating the sea snake meat.

Otherwise, if the sea monster bites you, you'll be in trouble.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 247 Coast Tea House.

The sea snake is not simply a food source; it is a type of animal meat used for practical purposes, or rather, it is mildly toxic. Eating it raw can cause the consumer to feel hot all over, which may increase the birth rate of residents living on the coast.

Some villains also extract the venom of the sea monster to take revenge on their enemies.

It belongs to a snake species unique to the South China Sea, but it is not suitable for monks without partners to eat alone.

Hongling hadn't intended to order the Sea King Snake meat, but as the main dish in the cold appetizer platter, and also the most expensive one, the restaurant owner obviously wouldn't agree to remove the snake meat to lower the price of the dish.

"How should we eat this snake? Should we grab it and gnaw on it?"

Su Yan imitated his predecessors, picking up some side dishes from the round table and putting them in a bowl, then adding some sashimi and soy sauce to the bowl and mixing them together.

But Su Yan's gaze remained fixed on the sea serpent, curious about how it ate.

The spirit beast meat that one usually sees is basically slaughtered and cannot speak, but this snake in front of him can not only talk but also lie on the jar and curse. Su Yan is very curious about what kind of cultivator has such a heavy taste.

How to eat it?

Hong Ling pondered for a while and said, "Ordinary cultivators will only bleed a little blood and mix it with spiritual wine to take it, while some with high cultivation or strong physique will pick it up and eat it."

Hong Ling raised her delicate fingers and made a slurping motion in front of Su Yan: "Like slurping noodles."

Su Yan looked at the giant snake, which was thicker than his waist, and fell into a brief silence.

"Could it be the inn's manager?"

The Sea King Serpent before him was at the high-level Foundation Establishment stage, and it possessed a deadly poison that caused the bells to wither upon contact. An ordinary cultivator trying to replenish their kidneys might not be able to defeat the giant serpent in front of him.

Su Yan had every reason to suspect that it was an actor used to increase the price of the dishes. Otherwise, how could an ordinary monster be placed on the dining table so calmly and swear so rudely?

Moreover, they specifically target the weakest among them to be scolded.

Thinking of this, Su Yan subconsciously looked at Grand Tutor Jin, who was sipping the spirit wine from his glass.

The dean should be able to pick it up and eat it like a spicy snack, right?

........................

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes,

Su Yan took out the God-Slaying Whip he had obtained from the Beast Taming Sect from his storage ring and asked the seniors if they knew how to repair the dormant spiritual weapon.

Because it had been neglected for too long, the spirit within the God-Slaying Whip had long since fallen into slumber, greatly reducing its power.

Spiritual artifacts are advanced magical artifacts, generally consisting of an artifact embryo carrying a restrictive incantation and the incantation itself.

Spiritual artifacts, on this basis, possess intelligence and can greatly enhance the power of incantations and restrictions. For example, the Red Jade Hairpin Sword, even when unattended, can independently kill Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

The hairpin sword is already considered top-grade among spiritual weapons.

However, the God-Slaying Whip is not as powerful as the Hairpin Sword. Because it has been neglected for too long, its newly formed intelligence has been forced into a dormant state to slow down the consumption of spiritual energy.

The spirit of the God-Slaying Whip has been dormant for a long time, and if it is not replenished, it may disappear.

Su Yan is currently stuck here. If he wants to use his magic to nourish the God-Slaying Whip, he needs to sign a blood pact with it.

However, to sign a blood pact with the God-Slaying Whip, one needs to awaken its intelligence, and awakening intelligence requires magical power to nourish the dormant intelligence of the God-Slaying Whip.

Su Yan was completely overwhelmed by the magical artifacts he had acquired.

"Pfft."

When Su Yan recounted his troubles, Master Hua Yu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What you're describing isn't actually that difficult to solve. You only need to spend a little spirit stone to find a cultivator from the Weapon Sect, and the price will be very reasonable."

For matters related to artifacts, it's always a good idea to consult a cultivator from the Artifact Sect.

The logical loop that Su Yan is currently experiencing is actually quite common in the cultivation world. Therefore, the cultivators of the Weapon Sect have developed an awakening array to address this problem.

As long as it is placed in the formation, the spirit of the artifact can be forcibly awakened without harm, allowing the cultivator to sign a blood pact with the sleeping spirit in a brief moment.

"If I remember correctly," Firefly Daoist said, "there is a group of weapon cultivators in the coastal city who have been collecting materials here for a long time."

The coastal city is rich in seafood. Generally, after cultivators catch sea beasts, they first dig out the valuable materials that can be used to refine pills or weapons, and then sell the flesh and blood of the sea beasts to seafood merchants, making the most of both.

As a sect that focuses on refining artifacts, the Weapon Sect needs a lot of refining materials on a daily basis. Naturally, they cannot go to a merchant house like the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion and spend a high premium to buy ordinary materials for their disciples to use.

The cultivators of the Weapon Sect usually go to the place of origin and send cultivators to carry out material recycling tasks on a long-term basis.

Materials from sea beasts are of very high quality, whether used for refining weapons or making magic robes. In addition, due to the large number of sea beasts, they are also inexpensive.

"Where is that senior weapon-repairing cultivator?" Su Yan's eyes lit up as he asked after learning about the clues to repairing spiritual weapons.

"You should be able to find out by asking at the beach." Firefly Daoist shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. He only knew that there were Weapon Sect cultivators in the coastal city, but he couldn't answer Su Yan's question about where they were.

"Probably at the coastal teahouse?"

Grand Tutor Jin seemed to remember something, smiled, and told Su Yan where to find cultivators from the Weaponry Sect:

“It’s very interesting there. Most junior monks like you can’t resist the temptation.”

"what?"

Su Yan was puzzled by this, but looking at the boss's wicked smile, he probably wouldn't tell him what was so interesting about the Coast Tea House.

Su Yan had no choice but to go to the coastal teahouse to repair the magical artifact first.

.....................

Because the distance wasn't too far, Su Yan didn't want to disturb the seniors or Huang Yin's meal, and went alone to the coastal teahouse that the dean had mentioned.

For Su Yan, entering the Beast Taming Sect and participating in the battle for destiny seemed like a matter of moments.

However, according to outside time, three and a half days had passed. The Huang clan members had almost starved to death in their cells, so now that they had come to Hailin Inn, they naturally lay down on the round table and feasted.
