Li Yuan was about to leave, but Aunt Li had been looking forward to her son's return home for a long time, so she left in a hurry without him.
She grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Why don't you sit down for a while, just in time to have something to eat. Your father should be back soon."
Li Yuan was about to shirk away when he glanced at the figure outside and his eyes lit up.
"Dad, are you back?"
Lao Li was also a little surprised to see his son whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but he was more happy, "Yuan'er is back."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Dad, I heard that you caught a snakehead fish this time when you went to sea, is it true?"
Upon hearing this, Lao Li immediately realized that his son probably came back for this black fish.
He unconsciously grabbed the cloth bag in his hand, "That's true, but that black fish was hunted by everyone together..."
Li Yuan frowned, "Dad is the captain, and it's not up to you to say how to distribute it. Since you have hunted the black fish, you should keep it for me."
Lao Li opened his mouth, "Heiyu has been sold, for one hundred and eighty-six spiritual stones..."
Li Yuan became even more dissatisfied when he learned that Lao Li had sold the black fish and distributed the spiritual stones.
"Dad clearly knows that this is a critical moment for my cultivation, but the black fish I finally caught sold the spirit stones and distributed them to others. If this continues, when will I be able to break through to the late stage of Qi training?"
There was some helplessness in Lao Li's expression. His son was gifted with two spiritual roots and was naturally faster than most people in cultivation.
After all, it was his family's poor foundation that hindered his son's journey to immortality.
He put the cloth bag he had been holding in his hand into his son's hand.
"It's useless, Dad. My cultivation level is too low and I can't help you. The thirty-seven spiritual stones here are earned from this trip to sea. You can use them first."
Li Yuan is already at the sixth level of Qi training, and this amount of spiritual stones is not much for him.
If Lao Li had given him so many spiritual stones without Black Fish, he might be happy.
But compared with the black fish worth one or two hundred spiritual stones, what is this little spiritual stone?
But all the black fish were sold. No matter how unwilling Li Yuan was, he had no other choice.
He put away the spirit stone skillfully, still complaining dissatisfiedly.
"Dad, next time you catch the black fish, can you please leave it to me alone? As for the others, give them some spiritual stones to kill them. I will dedicate the black fish to Young Master Lin Qi, and he will not treat me badly."
"But although Heiyu is only as big as a palm, he has the second and third levels of qi training, and his strength is even more amazing. I can't pull it off by myself."
Lao Li shook his head helplessly. He also wanted to earn more spiritual stones for his son, but he couldn't act without conscience.
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it this way. Don't sell it until you catch snakeheaded fish next time. I'll come over and deal with it."
As long as he tells him that this black fish is dedicated to the young master of the Lin family, those fishermen will definitely not refuse.
When he gets the black fish and is rewarded by Master Lin Qi, he will naturally benefit from them.
"Dad, although I have a good talent, my cultivation is focused on the Dharma of wealth, and wealth comes first. If you really care about my path to immortality, then do as I say.
When I successfully build the foundation, it will be a happy day for you two. At that time, I will definitely be filial to you and my mother."
Hearing his son talk about foundation building, Lao Litou finally had a smile on his wrinkled face.
"Your mother and I don't need you to be filial. Just practice hard and strive to build the foundation as soon as possible."
"I only took a half-day leave when I went out, so I left first and will come back to see you next time."
Li Yuan nodded, then leaned over and whispered in Lao Li's ear, "Also, Dad, don't meddle in your own business from now on. Bring anyone you don't know home."
After saying that, Li Yuan strode away.
Lao Li and Aunt Li's pleas were stuck in their throats. After all, they didn't have time to say anything, and they watched the young man disappear from sight.
That little figure in my memory has quietly grown up, and the number of times I have returned home has gradually become few and far between.
Lao Li withdrew his gaze and fell on the figure beside the table. He felt a little embarrassed when he remembered what his son said before leaving.
"Why are you sitting here without eating? The one who just came back is my son. He is a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training! He just has a sweet temperament and is not bad at heart."
Lao Li said, sitting down at the dinner table, feeling a little sad again.
"Shuanglinggen is such a good qualification. It's better than that of Young Master Lin Qi. If you don't worry about resources, Yuan'er must have at least reached the seventh level of Qi training."
Xu Chunniang hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't hold back and said, "Monks can go out to sea to hunt monsters and obtain spiritual stones. With your master's cultivation, hunting black fish is completely enough."
This black fish is a specialty of Black Fish Island, famous for its delicious meat and abundant spiritual power.
Even the name of Blackfish Island is derived from this fish.
The smallest black fish is just an early stage of Qi training. If Li Yuan really wants it, he can go to sea to catch it himself.
"It's too dangerous to go to sea. Don't think that he has a high level of cultivation at the sixth level of qi training. In fact, he is only at the bottom among cultivators."
Lao Li couldn't help but shake his head, "The sea areas where we fish are too close to the island. Only if you are lucky can you encounter one or two snakehead fish. The places where cultivators go are dangerous, and you will die if you are not careful."
Xu Chunniang didn't say much. What Lao Li said did make sense. Going out to sea to hunt monsters always involves taking risks.
But if he hunkers down on the island all day long and relies on his elderly parents for financial support, Li Yuan may not be able to go far in the future.
Seeing that she only took a few bites and then put down her chopsticks, Aunt Li thought the food was not to her taste.
"Don't you like it?"
Lao Li had a calm look on his face. During those few days on the boat, this girl didn't like to eat. She just loved to drink from a pot of wine all day long.
He was curious about the taste of the wine, so he asked for some to taste it. Although the wine was bland, it had a rare aura.
Xu Yatou was so generous, not only him, but also everyone else on the boat got a big bowl.
It was also at that time that Lao Li learned about Xu Yatou's status as a monk, but he didn't know what her specific cultivation level was.
"Don't worry about her. She is a monk and she eats less."
Aunt Li felt relieved after hearing this. She knew that the monks were different, but she still couldn't help but babble.
"How can you eat so little? Monks also need to eat."
Xu Chunniang smiled, took out a pot of spiritual wine and shook it in front of Aunt Li, "I'll drink this."
Aunt Li learned that she was a monk, and when she saw her taking something out of thin air, there was no look of surprise on her face.
Monks are very common on the island, and they are evenly divided between mortals. It is not surprising at all.
In her own family, including Lao Li, there are two monks.
Therefore, ordinary people have long been accustomed to some common methods used by monks.
When Lao Li saw her taking out the spirit wine, his eyes lit up. He was a little greedy, but he was too embarrassed to ask for a drink.
Xu Chunniang just pretended not to know, took several empty bowls, filled them with wine one by one, and placed them in front of the two elders.
