Dao Of The Salted FishCh50 - Reincarnator meets transmigrator!…?

Lin Yijun was passing through on his way out of the sect when he noticed the tell-tale qi fluctuations of a fight between two inner sect cultivators. He didn’t pay any attention until one of them suddenly broke into Golden Core.

Levelling up in the middle of a fight was almost unheard of. Even he himself had died in the last life attempting it. ZukE9j

Lin Yijun went closer to investigate. His eyes narrowed when he noticed a peculiar qi aura around a particular person spectating the fight.

Disciple Wen Zhihao.

This qi aura was the same as the one on the stabilising stone that Disciple Sun carried around. Lin Yijun was Nascent Soul, so this Cultivator Wen’s qi aura did not affect him. But he suddenly realised that the aura was qi-suppressing.

Lin Yijun hadn’t noticed it before. He had to take a closer look. hwSi42

Wen Zhihao’s suppression was not the complete absence or blockage like qi-suppressing chains and constraints. Instead, it pulled the surrounding qi into its influence. Furthermore, Lin Yijun could see how the qi from the sun was drawn to Wen Zhihao in waves, as though pulled in by a qi-collecting device.

That such an aura could be constantly maintained like this…was this Wen Zhihao truly an outer sect disciple?

Lin Yijun’s lips tightened. Such a person should not have gone unnoticed, but he had no recollection of this in his past life.

Disciple Wen was the one who stopped Disciple Sun from undergoing qi deviation in this second life.

…Was Wen Zhihao also reborn?

It couldn’t be, why would the Heavens favour such a person with no background?

His heart felt painful thinking about Zhou Sheng. In the last many months since Lin Yijun had been reborn, had Zhou Sheng been tortured out there by the demonic cults?


Another day, another dead end. Lin Yijun’s short temper scared more than one cultivator in the sect. Eventually, his father became irritated and forced his mother to give him a token to visit the Clear Heart Hot Springs. yl9oFr

Lin Yijun’s expression became even worse at the implication of needing to go, but he accepted the token and went to the springs alone.

Dark thoughts clouded his head. It was getting closer and closer to that incident in which Zhou Sheng murdered an entire group of people and became irredeemable in Lin Yijun’s eyes.

In the worst-case scenario, Lin Yijun would have to intercept Zhou Sheng right before the incident at the location where it had occurred in his past life. However, he never expected that he might actually have to fall back on this very last plan.

Where could Zhou Sheng be? Why was he never in the Blood Sect whenever Lin Yijun checked there? AvcODY

With increasingly circular thoughts, Lin Yijun soon approached where the Hot Springs should lie. The token in his hand cleared the mind-redirecting haze that protected the hot springs. The pool of steaming clear water, framed with rich qi herbs, appeared in a clearing below him.

Lin Yijun’s expression darkened when he saw an unauthorised figure crouching next to the hot springs.

Wen Zhihao!

Lin Yijun descended quickly, landing with a noticeable thump behind the disciple Wen. QrUTtR

“Why are you here?” Lin Yijun demanded.

Wen Zhihao startled, his brows tightened a little at the harsh tone. He had been innocently and carefully testing the qi in the water to see if he could figure out why the hot springs had once again appeared when he least expected it.

Wen Zhihao stood up and saluted politely to the older cultivator. “This junior disciple came here by accident,” Wen Zhihao said truthfully. “Does this area belong to you? If so, I apologise for trespassing.”

If it did belong to this high-and-mighty cultivator, then he should put a fence around it! Or at least a sign ba! IhlLGv

Lin Yijun’s eyes narrowed. This Disciple Wen was a Middle-Stage Golden Core disciple and did not appear to have the raw power required to break the array around the hot springs. Given how the token in his hand had reacted, Lin Yijun knew that the protective array still worked.

Could it be that he really stumbled here by accident? If so, there was a major security flaw in the protective array around the Clear Heart Hot Springs. If Wen Zhihao had been bathing in these springs over the last few months, it would explain why his cultivation level rose yet his aptitude for cultivation stagnated.

Nonetheless, it was very suspicious, especially since Lin Yijun suspected that this Wen Zhihao had been reborn. If he had, then it was possible that in the past life, Wen Zhihao had survived the righteous sect v.s. demonic sect war, rose up the cultivation levels, and determined a method to bypass the array around the hot springs without a token.

Wen Zhihao didn’t know what Lin Yijun was thinking about, and he didn’t really care either. Seeing as Lin Yijun didn’t like the look of him, Wen Zhihao asked politely. “Requesting senior to allow this junior disciple to leave.” VJMXuc

“No.”

Wen Zhihao blinked. No?

Lin Yijun subtly took out a magical treasure from inside his spatial pendant, hiding it within the folds of his robes. Its magic quickly and subtly surrounded the two of them. Under its influence, answers had to be truthful, and the contents of the conversation could not be repeated to others unless one was in possession of the magical treasure.

Lin Yijun’s tone now lightened. “Tell me exactly how you came here and your purpose.” qFrPx0

  1. Nooo! Not a cliff! 😱 And there aren’t any more chapters on scribble hub either. 😭

    I’m sorry, dear Author. I love your story, but I kind of hate you right now for following the dao of the salted fish.Anyways, thanks for the chapter.

  2. Lin Yijun sure has a bad temper and seems a little authoritative. Wen Zhihao is your ticket to find your [lover], Lin Yijun be nice to him!! As always, Wen Zhihao is an accidental genius at cultivation XD. Did Wen Zhihao make up with the hot spring unlike last time?Thanks for the Chapter!!

  3. WAAAH THE CLIFFHANGER

    I’ve been suspecting that Wen Zhihao’s qi has special properties for ages now, it feels good to be right~

    thank you for the chapters!! I hope everything is alright if you must upload fewer now… rest assured I will be here to read them whether it’s one or however many!

    • Sometimes authors wake up and decide to be evil ~ 😏😏😏

      Yep, Wen Zhihao’s qi’s pretty neat! It’s gotta be that way given how he cultivates so successfully without realising it 😂😂

      Ahhh, the slower upload is due to no more buffer chapters available….. 😭

  4. I really don’t like how condescending this Lin Yijun is… No wonder he lost Zhou Sheng!!!

    Ahh, the more I read the more I love Wen Zhihao!!! He is such a wholesome protagonist!!! Take me to kitten therapy too! Wait w-

    Author-san, thanks for the chapter!

  5. Author sama is pulling a Wen Zhihao on us! Truly the parent of salted fish! QAQ

    (On a side note, hope you are doing fine, are leisurely eating/sleeping and basically living well! :))Thanks for the chapter <3

  6. Hot springs: ‘Hehe, we meet again. I know you need me so I allow you to use me this time’ ( ¯︶¯ )

    Lin Yijun: “Halt!”

    Hot springs: ‘Scram!’ (ノ°益°)ノ

    thanks for the chapter~

  7. I can’t explain how grateful I am for your updates! Like seriously when I feel like dying I see update and I am like.. YES! Reading time!

  8. Lin Yijun, go to your Zhou Sheng instead of interrupting Fish’s activities. Also, be nice!!! (#`皿´)

    Thank you again for this, author! ♡^▽^♡

  9. Oooooooh! Noooo, will fishy sell out Zhou Sheng? Nervous!

    Please do your counseling magic, fishy!

  10. Thanks for the chapter! Let’s face it, LY is someone who really needs some salted fish therapy, so this is likely karma. I suspect the implication some people have of the hot spring being sentient in some way may actually be true… I wonder if WZ will finally discover he’s way out of the norm now? Will we found out if ZS has truly gone to the far side, or did meeting WZ straighten out his heart demons? Will LY continue to be a stereotypical xianxia novel protagonist, or will WZ show him another Way?

    • The hot springs aren’t meant to be sentient XD but they might slowly become sentient now if the people call for it 😂😂😂😂 As for when Wen Zhihao will stop being oblivious…well, we’ll have to wait and see 😂

      Thank you for reading!

  11. No one talked about how Sun Fuyu is well protected ? Gosh I’m crying I wanna be protected too😭😭

    And thanks for all the chapters 💕💕

  12. “It couldn’t be, why would the Heavens favour such a person with no background?” – this jerk… 😑

  13. Oh my GOSH. Also I am cackling at myself:Me: put down the fic you started this fic a few hours ago. Me: Look 50 is a good break point- leaves you HALF the fic to go!Me: Okay I will stop and head for bed at the halfway pointThis Chapter: HA HA HA no. My ADD: Yesssss all according to plan.

  14. Our poor salted fish is going to be questioned even thought he did nothing wrong. Lin Yijun really needs to relax a little, with his mind and his crazy ideas he could write a book. 😌

  15. Hey, hey, be nice to him, Lin Yijun! Not that I believe you could possible harm Wen Zhihao (our secretly OP darling) but still! Be nice!

  16. Zhou Sheng deserves better than Lin Yijun, this self-righteous assclown! Even poor Wang Li Wei would be a better match lmao
