Chapter 727 (2/2)

“I’d better go back this time.”

After speaking, the black-robed elder took one long, penetrating look at the sea surface.

As if trying to see through the waters themselves.

After that glance, the black-robed elder promptly departed.

Long after the black-robed elder had left, without any sign, another figure emerged where he had been.

After appearing, this figure looked in the direction the black-robed elder had left and shook his head:

“Maybe the Soul Tomb is really about to emerge.”

“This time, I only managed to capture seven Jade Soul Algae.”

“It’s really…

far too few…”

The figure that appeared afterward was none other than Lin Jing.

After speaking, Lin Jing cast a deep look in the direction the black-robed cultivator departed, then turned and left in a different direction.

The black-robed elder left outward, because he couldn’t capture any Jade Soul Algae, so he had to leave.

Whereas Lin Jing left inward.

Because Lin Jing still had to capture more Jade Soul Algae.

…

…

Two years had passed since Lin Jing parted ways with the Yan Family patriarch.

During these two years, the Yan Family patriarch had been relentlessly searching for Bai Yi’s whereabouts, returning only a few times.

Bai Yi had gone into hiding after deceiving the Yan Family patriarch and had not reappeared since.

The Yan Family patriarch was keen to find him but could not come up with any method to do so.

While the Yan Family patriarch kept searching for Bai Yi, Lin Jing continued to capture Jade Soul Algae while awaiting the emergence of the Soul Tomb.

It must be said, in capturing Jade Soul Algae, Lin Jing had a much higher success rate with the help of System Space than the black-robed elder did.

In just two years, Lin Jing had already captured over a hundred pieces of Jade Soul Algae.

Whether Lin Jing had exhausted the local supply of Jade Soul Algae remained uncertain.

Initially, each time Lin Jing emerged, he could find at least a dozen or twenty pieces,

but as the number of his outings increased, the number of Jade Soul Algae he could capture became fewer and fewer.

Especially this time.

Having been out for nearly two months now, Lin Jing had only managed to capture seven pieces of Jade Soul Algae.

Seven pieces, to Lin Jing, were not many.

With the aid of System Space, Lin Jing did not need to wait idly like the black-robed elder to capture Jade Soul Algae.

Lin Jing could use Observation Mode to monitor a vast area of sea containing Jade Soul Algae.

As soon as he detected any trace of Jade Soul Algae in Observation Mode, Lin Jing could immediately use Fixed Point Teleportation to transport himself next to the Jade Soul Algae and, upon capturing them, bring them into System Space.

This method of capture was efficient and fast,

and it even had a high success rate.

Thus,

it did not take long for Lin Jing to capture a significant amount of Jade Soul Algae.

As Lin Jing continued his relentless capture, the amount of Jade Soul Algae here dwindled and became increasingly difficult to capture.

The decline in Jade Soul Algae most greatly affected that black-robed elder.

In the beginning, the black-robed elder occasionally managed to capture a few, but as time went on, the number of Jade Soul Algae he captured became less and less.
