Romance Game: Embrace of the Inhuman-Chapter 381 - 350: "Unbreakable Divine Technique

Lin Qianxuan and Xi Yunyi rescued all those children and handed over the accomplices from the manor to the elders of the Sanyuan Sect in the nearby city.

The other party was also furious and mobilized a large number of disciples to investigate the matter.

At this point, Lin Qianxuan and the others didn't need to be further involved.

The Sanyuan Sect gave both Lin Qianxuan and Xi Yunyi some taels of silver each as a reward for reporting the incident.

Lin Qianxuan didn't think much of it, but Xi Yunyi was quite happy, as he had never been this affluent before.

"Brother Xi, you must have plenty of ways to earn money, so why have you always been so impoverished?" Lin Qianxuan asked in confusion.

He had never seen an Innate Master so poor.

Especially since Xi Yunyi seemed to have quite a few amazing skills.

Even if he didn't work as security or a bodyguard, he could join a small sect as a Tributor or teach, and he could earn quite a bit.

Besides, there were many other ways for him to make money.

Taking on a bounty, or going into the mountains to hunt two fierce beasts and selling them in the city, would last him a long time.

"My master told me not to value silver coins too much and reminded me before coming down the mountain not to act for profit." Xi Yunyi said.

"So, you as an esteemed Innate Master live like a beggar? Brother Xi, you're too rigid!" Lin Qianxuan said, not understanding.

"It's not the same, alright!" Xi Yunyi retorted, saying, "This is cultivation of the heart. My master said that if I enjoy wealth beyond my age too early, I will lose my true self. Therefore, I must spend or give away any money over one hundred coins that I carry."

"That makes some sense."

Lin Qianxuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Such a young Innate Master won't lack money in the future.

What he lacks is an experience of living a lower life, a broader understanding of life.

If one stands too high from the start, they won't understand the lower structures and could lose their way.

To be honest, any young person achieving success at twenty would likely not hold their ground.

It would be easy to fall into a life of luxury and debauchery.

With the long lifespan of an Innate Master, if Xi Yunyi trains for a decade and then holds wealth and power, that would be different.

"I heard the sweet and sour fish on the local painting boat is quite famous, and I want to try it!" Xi Yunyi said.

This dish is famous not because it's delicious but because it's notoriously bad.

It's said that no one has ever managed to eat an entire fish.

"Alright, I'm curious to know just how bad it is." Lin Qianxuan said with a smile.

"Why don't we compete to see who can eat more?" Xi Yunyi suggested, looking at Lin Qianxuan.

"Brother Xi, you might lose. Back in the Lanxi Sect, to practice a martial art, I consumed almost anything, leaves and stones included, just a fish..." Lin Qianxuan confidently said.

"Brother Tan, let me tell you, back in Bixiao Ridge when I was training, my master didn't give me food for seven days and nights. I ate wild vegetables, medicinal roots, even dirt. Do you really think I can't eat a fish?" Xi Yunyi retorted proudly.

"Looks like it'll be a tie again." Lin Qianxuan said, "We both can eat this fish..."

.....

[Unbeliever: Memory +1. (Note: A good lesson learned.)]

Staring at the fish with two bites taken from it on the table, Lin Qianxuan and Xi Yunyi looked at each other and then spat out the fish they had in their mouths.

"You win!"

"You win!"

Both of them almost said it at the same time.

There are always things people don't believe until they try them.

"I've heard someone can eat half a sweet and sour fish." Xi Yunyi said with amazement, "I used to think people here were delicate, but now I think that person probably has no sense of taste at all!"

"Even without a sense of taste, it's hard to eat with such a fishy, spicy, sour, and sandy taste. Just thinking about it makes me want to retch!" Lin Qianxuan said with vacant eyes.

The two of them tacitly pushed the fish aside to feed the cats raised here; this thing is only fit for cats to eat.

Seeing the cats, as plump as winter melons, Lin Qianxuan reckoned there were many others like them who didn't believe in these warnings.

Perhaps that's why this dish became so famous.

Lin Qianxuan thought that if he encountered others in the future, he certainly wouldn't tell them how bad this dish tastes but would recommend they come try it themselves.

This feeling of making others suffer the same rain you endured is a kind of fun.

After a hearty meal, the two continued on their journey of learning languages.

To be honest, the milestone unlocked by eating that fish did help Lin Qianxuan.

In just two months, he completely mastered ten languages.

These ten are all available in written form, and counting dialects, animal languages, and insect languages, the number even reaches a hundred.

[Tip: You explored a hundred languages, achieving the 'One in a Thousand' Level Milestone [Language Mastery].]

[Language Mastery: You can recognize and understand all languages and texts that do not involve Rule Power. (Note: Nature's language is a language too.)]

In almost an instant, Lin Qianxuan felt he could understand a lot of information.

The blowing wind, the floating clouds, the trees that made sounds internally, some pheromones smelled by the nose...

The scope of language is immense.

This only encompasses languages not involving Rule Power.

If it involved rules, he might directly interpret and use the rule information of nature.
