Indeed, Lin Jin didn't expect this.
He was just here to join in on the fun and broaden his horizons. At the same time, he wanted to try his luck and see if he could obtain some of the spirit pond's water.
Since everyone praised the spirit pond's water, Lin Jin obviously wanted to see just how good it was.
Like Zuo Men, he didn't have many goals to begin with. Just like Zuo Men, he would be satisfied with just one scoop of water. To think that the Four Seas Freedom Gourd would be so 'awesome'.
Not only did it successfully obtain the spirit pond's water, but it was also a winner-take-all, not leaving any leftovers for the other immortals.
Even Lin Jin felt like he was' going overboard '.
But the problem was, Lin Jin had no idea what was going on. How did the Four Seas Freedom Gourd manage to claim all of the spirit pond's water for itself?
He had only activated the artifact once and the actual operation was up to the artifact itself.
Sensing the stares coming from all directions, Lin Jin realized that he was about to run into some trouble. After all, no one would allow someone else to claim all of the spirit pond's water for themselves.
Lin Jin figured that sharing some of the spirit pond's water wasn't a big deal. It would be best if he could keep the peace. After all, he was a newcomer so he should keep a low profile.
What he did earlier was too high profile.
Sure enough, after the immortals recovered from their shock, they reacted.
With a look of jealousy, one of the immortals stepped forward and said, "My friend, aren't you being a little too overbearing?"
He clearly thought that Lin Jin had purposely used his supernatural powers to claim all of the spirit pond's water. Only an expert could do that. Had he been alone, this immortal wouldn't have dared to stand up for him. But with so many people here and the majority of them were dissatisfied, there was nothing to be afraid of.
As soon as the Immortal finished speaking, Buddhist Immortal Du Water chanted and said, "Fellow Daoist, your abilities are brilliant. I admire you, admire you."
Impressed my ass. Jealous?
Lin Jin could tell that Buddha Ferry's eyes had turned red from anxiety, so it would be strange if he didn't feel anxious now. After all, he was the one who had taken the most water from the spirit pond in the past. But now, not a single drop had been harvested. The drastic change in his mentality was incomparable to others.
As expected, the fat monk said, "Your divine power is brilliant, but you are too greedy. In the past, I only took a jar of spiritual water because I understand the principle of everyone sharing the benefits. Fellow Daoist, you shouldn't have."
With two people taking the lead, the others also glared angrily at him and spoke up.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't look familiar. May I know how to address you?" A tall Immortal asked with an unfriendly expression.
Since someone had asked him a question, Lin Jin couldn't just keep quiet. He saluted them and said, "I'm Lin Jin. Greetings, fellow cultivators."
At the end of the day, Lin Jin had been through a lot. Even when facing so many immortals, other than feeling a little nervous at first, Lin Jin was now able to handle them with ease. At the very least, he wouldn't show it. After all, Lin Jin often pretended to be an expert, Curator.
If he had shown any signs of fear while acting as the curator, wouldn't he have been seen through long ago?
Because of this, Lin Jin had always had a firm grasp on things like reputation and aura. There would never be a problem.
Just like now. Even though he was being glared at by so many immortals and they were clearly up to no good, Lin Jin was still able to talk and laugh with them confidently.
Of course, this would be confusing. Uncertainty would lead to fear, and fear would deter them from acting recklessly.
This was the result Lin Jin wanted.
After all, deep down, he was still quite nervous. He was thinking about how he could share some of the spiritual pond's water with them in a dignified manner. Not only could he resolve the crisis, but he wouldn't embarrass himself.
Hence, as he spoke, Lin Jin grabbed the Four Seas Freedom Gourd and secretly inspected it, wanting to check the spiritual pond's water he had just absorbed.
However, a single glance made Lin Jin's forehead break out in cold sweat.
It was gone.
Lin Jin secretly invoked a spell. When he looked again, it was gone. It didn't exist.
There was no trace of the spiritual pond's water inside the Four Seas Freedom Gourd.
That was strange.
For a moment, Lin Jin was at a loss. He immediately realized that if there was no water in the gourd, he wouldn't be able to give it to them later. The immortals would definitely assume that he was the one who took it.
Forget the others, even Zuo Men and Wanderer Huang Shi would have their opinions. It wouldn't be right for them to not share it with their friends.
But the problem was, Lin Jin hadn't even seen it so how was he supposed to share it?
"Treasure gourd, don't you dare scam me!" Lin Jin couldn't care less now. He quickly picked up the Four Seas Freedom Gourd to investigate further.
When the other immortals saw Lin Jin pick up the magical artifact that he had used to absorb the spiritual pond's water, they were startled. They braced themselves for a fight. After all, Lin Jin had a grim expression on his face. Was he planning to fight his way out?
But the problem was, it wasn't time to turn hostile yet. They hadn't even turned hostile yet, so why would Lin Jin, who had benefited greatly from it, be the first to turn hostile?
That being said, this immortal named Lin Jin was definitely not someone to be trifled with. It was obvious from how he had absorbed all the spiritual pond's water with just a magical artifact.
After all, the spiritual pond had been activated many times over the past few centuries and no one had ever managed to do this.
Many of the itinerant immortals turned to Immortal Du of Immortal Physician Sect.
"Immortal Du, you have to say something."
"That's right. Everyone has always had a share of this spiritual pond. This … this man has never seen it before and he wants to take it all. This is against the rules. Elder Du, you have to uphold justice."
Everyone was talking at once. Old Immortal Du was fuming. After all, he was here to take some of the spiritual pond's water back for pelletization.
Usually, with his cultivation and extraction method, it would be a piece of cake for him to retrieve some of the spiritual pond's water.
But this time, he didn't get a single drop of water.
The spiritual pond's water was extremely important to his pelletization. For the past few decades, he had been waiting for the spiritual water to concoct several types of pills. If he lost it this time, he would have to wait another hundred years.
Even for an immortal, this was a long time. Old Immortal Du was anxious because he couldn't wait that long for certain matters.
Thus, he coughed lightly and stepped forward, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lin, your divine arts are brilliant, and we all admire you. Although the water of the spirit pool belongs to those who are capable, it's the first time I've seen someone like Fellow Daoist Lin who took it all for himself and didn't share a single bit with others. Fellow Daoist Lin, this old man has something to say that I would like to ask you to keep in mind. Heaven and Earth treasures, everyone who sees them has a share. Being greedy and hoarding them is a great taboo. There has never been a good ending for it. "
His tone was lecturing again.
There was even a hint of threat in it.
Lin Jin frowned. He didn't like hearing this.
Yes, he should respect the old and cherish the young. But the problem was that he had to consider the occasion and the actual situation. Lin Jin wasn't the type to enjoy the winner-take-all nor did he like hoarding everything for himself. But the problem was, he was helpless right now. Moreover, when these immortals saw that the spiritual pond's water was empty, they immediately panicked and tried all sorts of threats and promises. Even Old Immortal Du personally came forward. It was as if if Lin Jin didn't share some of the spiritual pond's water, he would be breaking the rules and wouldn't end well.
Ugh, it seemed like that was the case!
Even if he didn't like to hear it, he reckoned that everyone would have the same thoughts when it came to this matter. He was the same. Who said that immortals didn't have jealousy?
