TFHS: Chapter 141

More than ten days later, Feng Jinlin informed Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo that they would set off early tomorrow morning.

Feng Ming was a bit excited that night and couldn’t concentrate on his cultivation. He spent the whole night refining pills.

He was still energetic when he set off with his father early the next morning.

Feng Jinlin took more than a dozen of his subordinates, plus his child and son-in-law, riding out of the city on a wildebeest.

In fact, Feng Jinlin wasn’t the only one in Chiri City who was well-informed. Other forces had also noticed something, but they didn’t realize that the imperial family’s Silver Armor Army was involved.

Originally, they were skeptical. However, they could no longer hold back when seeing the Wind Eagle mercenary group setting out. So after the Wind Eagle mercenary group, seven or eight more teams left Chiri City.

All the information was summarized in the hands of Commander Yang, who was preparing to board the ship with Kong Zhao. He handed the news to Kong Zhao. “Look, almost everyone knows about it. Quite a few people are going.”

Kong Zhao glanced at it and said, “The Wind Eagle mercenary group also left? Did Bai Qiaomo go?”

Commander Yang asked, “Isn’t it written that Feng Jinlin’s child and son-in-law are going?”

Kong Zhao smiled. “That’s great. If I meet him there, I will persuade him. It will be good for him to join us. Some things are only available at the imperial court. A genius like him can only go further by joining the court.”

Commander Yang replied, “As long as you are happy.”

Everyone boarded the ship, and the ship set sail under the orders of Commander Yang.

If Feng Ming was here, he would find that the aura of the cultivators on this ship was very deep. It was even more astonishing when they were gathered together.

Chiri City was said to be a border town and was relatively close to the sea. Feng Jinlin’s group rode hard, but it still took them three days to reach the location decided by Feng Jinlin.

The group abandoned their mounts and climbed up to the highest peak overlooking the sea. They stood on top of the mountain and there was a cliff in front of them. They could see the surging sea water below, hitting the cliff and making a lot of noise. At the same time, gusts of salty sea breezes blew in their faces.

Feng Ming smelled this and suddenly felt like eating seafood.

For some reason, it wasn’t too far from the sea, but there wasn’t a single seafood restaurant in Chiri City. People didn’t seem to have the habit of eating seafood.

The closer they walked to the sea, the fewer people there were.

Feng Ming asked his father curiously, “There are so many pirates living in the sea. Why are there so few people on this beach? In addition, are there no sea animals in this sea for human consumption?”

Feng Jinlin explained, “The pirates often go ashore to plunder, so who would be willing to live near the sea? Only the place guarded by the Iron Armor Army is stable. After a long time, there are naturally few people at the beach. As for the sea beasts in the sea, they have always been fierce, and there is no shortage of wild beast meat to eat. Naturally, not many people bother with this.”

“Why? Ming’er wants to eat it?”

Feng Ming nodded without hesitation. “I want to eat it so much. Some sea beasts are really delicious after cooking them a bit. Maybe someone will like it. How about our Wing Eagle mercenary group opening a seafood restaurant?”

Feng Jinlin raised an eyebrow. “Then let me taste it first. If it is suitable, it is indeed a way to make money.”

Bai Qiaomo didn’t care about this at first, but he couldn’t help saying after hearing Feng Ming mention it, “In the territory of the Shengyuan Sect, especially the place near the sea, there are more cultivators who eat sea beasts. Many sea beasts have been processed, and the taste isn’t much worse than desolate beast meat. However, we haven’t developed the habit of eating sea beasts here.”

There was a precedent, so Feng Jinlin felt it was necessary to develop in this industry.

Feng Ming listened to Bai Qiaomo’s words and understood. A large area of land in the Dongmu Dynasty was inland, and the places near the sea were empty. Combine this with the abundance of wild beasts, the people here didn’t develop the habit of eating sea beasts.

But the people and cultivators in the territory of the Shengyuan Sect were different. They lived on islands. What did they eat if they didn’t eat sea beasts?

Feng Jinlin pointed ahead and said, “This is the closest land to where the parents are. However, there is nothing to do at this moment. Let’s go down, hunt some sea beasts, and taste them.”

“The captain has the final say.” The other team members supported it. After hearing the young master saying that the sea beasts were delicious, they also felt a bit greedy.

If the taste was really good and they opened a seafood restaurant, their Wind Eagle mercenary group would have more ways to make money. They were all in favor of it.

Thus, the group descended the mountain and found a location on the beach.

Feng Ming was crazy with joy when he arrived. There were seafood ingredients everywhere.

Feng Jinlin’s group originally wanted to go to the sea to hunt some sea beasts, but they were all pulled back by Feng Ming. Where was the need to go to the sea? There was seafood everywhere. Didn’t they see the piles of oysters? There were also sea crabs crawling everywhere.

“Wait, I’ll grill some oysters and crabs for you to taste.”

Seeing Feng Ming so enthusiastic, Bai Qiaomo knew that he had eaten this in his previous life. Therefore, Bai Qiaomo consciously gave Feng Ming a hand.

In the territory of the Shengyuan Sect, there was indeed such a way to eat seafood, but they were mostly eaten by the low-level to mid-level people. The upper-level cultivators were more particular about eating sea beasts and didn’t bother to eat anything other than high-level sea beasts.

The oysters didn’t look very good and still clung to the rocks, but Feng Ming felt that the oysters here would be more delicious than the ones he had eaten in his previous life. After all, they were nourished by vital energy.

He set up the grill. It was often used to barbecue meat when going out for training, so it was one of the daily necessities for cultivators. Feng Ming’s craftsmanship actually wasn’t very good. Father Feng had been looking after him for more than ten years. When could he do his own cooking?

However, when he left the Golden Eagle mercenary group, he specially prepared a lot of barbecue seasonings. He used them to prepare the food.

Feng Ming explained the method, and Bai Qiaomo took over. Soon, the oysters lined up on the grill were sizzling and sprinkled with seasoning. A fresh fragrance different from animal meat wafted into everyone’s noses.

“It seems to taste good, and the method is simple. But compared with beast meat, this meat is a bit less. You can’t feel the pleasure of eating meat in big mouthfuls.”

Feng Ming was amused. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why seafood wasn’t as popular as wild beast meat.

Feng Ming picked up a roasted oyster and gave it to his father. “Dad, try it and see if it tastes good or not. Do you like it?”

He also took one and ate it. It was hot and fresh. Just as he thought, it tasted better than he was used to.

“It is delicious, really delicious. Brother Bai, you come and try one too.”

Bai Qiaomo took a bite of the oyster meat that Feng Ming dug out and raised an eyebrow. “It is really good. It has a unique flavor.”

The others also rushed to eat it. They weren’t satisfied, but as Bai Qiaomo said, it had a unique flavor. If they were tired of eating wild beast meat, it was actually very good to taste this seafood.

Feng Jinlin tried the oyster, as well as the roasted crabs, clams, and razor clams picked up by Feng Ming.

Later, Feng Ming also picked up a lobster on the beach that was as long as his arm. The lobster wanted to resist, but after it was cooked, it was eaten by everyone.

Feng Jinlin was seriously thinking about opening a seafood restaurant. However, the revenue wouldn’t be too much if he opened one in Chiri City. What about opening this restaurant in other cities? The income would definitely not be low.

Feng Jinlin said, “When we go back, bring back more sea beasts and let Butler Zhao take the chef to study how to cook them best. By the way, Qiaomo, tell me how the Shengyuan Sect cooks these sea beasts.”

They had to wait for the conflict in the sea to happen anyway. They had plenty of time, so Bai Qiaomo tried hard to recall the sea beast dishes he had eaten before.

Not only did he say it all, but he also used a blank jade slip to write down the possible methods of use. After returning, he would ask the chefs in the mercenary group to study and try it out. The current method of just roasting and eating was too simple. It couldn’t be used to open a restaurant.

Feng Ming was happy. He hadn’t seen the excitement in the sea, and didn’t know if there was really a dragon. However, this trip did help his father discover a way to make money.

He was also thinking that when his father opened a chain of seafood restaurants in the future, he would surely make a fortune, and the mercenary group wouldn’t have to worry about running out of yuan crystals.

They ate all the food they could find on the beach before going into the sea to look for food. Feng Jinlin prepared a water repellant bead for this trip. With his strength, it would be easy for him to go into the sea and bring up some sea beasts.

Also, due to few people disturbing them, there were really a lot of sea beasts here. Feng Ming ate a lot and his mouth became picky after eating so much.

He found that his favorite food was a type of blue shrimp that his father caught from the sea. After opening the back of the shrimp, he sprinkled seasoning on it and grilled it. The shrimp meat was so delicious.

He liked to eat, and the black crystal turtle he raised had the same character as him. The blue sea shrimps that Bai Qiaomo grilled were for the two of them to eat, so Bai Qiaomo went into the sea and caught a big net of them.

He was thinking about catching more shrimps in the next few days and having Feng Ming put them in his storage ring so he could eat it for a long time whenever he wanted.

He wouldn’t be able to eat these things back inland.

In the end, Feng Ming was too full, and the little turtle was also full. Both the master and pet collapsed.

After three happy and relaxing days, the situation on the seashore changed. A large number of sea beasts that didn’t originally live near the seashore ran out and rushed to the shore.

There was no need for Feng Jinlin to say anything. Everyone was vigilant. It was impossible for this to happen unless something occurred in the sea.

“Let’s go up and take a look.”

“Wait, there are so many sea beasts running out of the sea. It won’t be too late for us to catch more first before we leave.”

Hearing Feng Ming’s words, Feng Jinlin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn’t refuse. It was just the beginning. It didn’t matter if they left later.

So Feng Jinlin took the lead, and the other team members followed suit.

The sea beasts that ran ashore this time were quite powerful. They needed to use all their strength to get rid of them.

After stuffing a bunch of sea beasts into the storage ring, Feng Jinlin saw that the sea beasts were getting stronger and stronger, the sea water constantly surging. He decided not to delay any further, and Feng Ming had no objection this time.

A dozen people soon reached the highest point on the beach. Looking out from here, they could see the sea water surging in front of them, creating huge waves.

Some sea beasts started fighting directly in the sea, dyeing the water red.

“Dad, look at the black spots over there. Are they people or sea monsters?”

“It looks like a ship to me.”
