Chapter 173 Strange Monk

"Are you really not going to take a break before trying?"

Looking at Orochimaru who looked depressed in front of him, Lu Lin tried to ask.

"no need."

Orochimaru, who originally looked a little listless, forced himself to cheer up, shook his head, and looked at Lu Lin firmly:

"Let's go over and take a look. After all, I'm also quite curious about natural energy."

In order to reach the Sea in the Sea as soon as possible, Orochimaru did not rest and engraved the curse seal on the bodies of the heavenly ninjas overnight. This caused him to be very weak and looked like he had indulged himself too much.

However, a big part of the reason why Orochimaru was very anxious about Kai in the Sea being able to quickly cultivate into the Sage Mode was because Jiraiya, who was also one of the Three Ninjas, had been practicing natural energy at some point and had achieved some results.

This was what Jiraiya told them ostentatiously when Orochimaru met Jiraiya and Tsunade for the last time when Orochimaru was still in Konoha.

This made the always arrogant Orochimaru extremely uncomfortable. It's not like he hadn't studied the natural energy of the Ryuchi Cave before, but why could Jiraiya succeed but he, Orochimaru, couldn't?

In his mind, Jiraiya has always been just a brainless reckless man. How smart can he be if he regards the glance of a toad as the goal of his life?

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind."

Then he nodded to Ming Yan, who formed seals with his hands, and a portal appeared in front of them:

"Let's go."

Leaving a word behind, Lu Lin took the lead and walked straight in. Orochimaru looked at the shuttle door curiously and followed in.

Pfft!

Hearing the sound of someone falling into the water behind him, Lu Lin turned around with a smile on his face. As expected, Orochimaru had half of his body fallen into the water, but he reacted very quickly and quickly pulled himself out of the water with only half of his body submerged.

Looking at Lu Lin's mischievous smile, Orochimaru smiled helplessly:

"Lu Linjun is going a bit too far."

"Haha, let's go, it's right below."

Lu Lin raised his eyebrows, and then took the lead in swimming towards the sea below. This was the anchor point he specially asked Ming Yan to establish on the sea surface just above the sea in the sea, and it was also for some people who had just reached the standard of physical fitness but had difficulty in suddenly adapting to the pressure of the seabed to use.

Seeing that Lu Lin's figure was about to disappear in the sea, Orochimaru hurriedly followed.

The two of them were moving very fast, and soon they reached the edge of the sea within the sea. A large group of giant whales also surrounded them. Orochimaru was a little surprised, as he had never seen such huge whales before. And seeing that they were very close to Lu Lin, he knew that these whales were quite intelligent.

After sending away the whales that surrounded him one by one, Lu Lin waved at Orochimaru, jumped up, and rushed into the sea.

Orochimaru jumped in without any hesitation.

But not long after swimming, he saw Lu Lin looking at him with a smile not far away:

"Okay, you can talk now."

Orochimaru opened his mouth in disbelief, and instantly, a large amount of natural energy poured into his stomach. Seeing this, Lu Lin also shouted:

"It's okay, just wait until your body gets used to the environment here, just hold on."

Lu Lin's words also made Orochimaru not close his mouth, but instead carefully feel the natural energy flowing into his abdomen.

Wow~

The sound of running water suddenly reached Lu Lin's ears. He turned around and saw an eyeball that was bigger than his body staring at him:

"Master Jing, I'll bring someone over."

"I feel a very strange breath of natural energy from him. What's going on?"

Obviously, the aura of Ryuchido on Orochimaru attracted its attention.

After Lu Lin explained the reason clearly, he asked:

"Will it affect his cultivation of the natural energy of the sea within the sea?"

"will not."

Whale explained:

"It's just that the smell is a little strange, but to be honest, it's all natural energy and it doesn't have any impact."

Just like rice and rice soup, both are made of rice, but one has more water and the other has more rice. There is not much difference in essence.

"That's good."

After getting the answer, Lu Lin nodded, and Orochimaru swam over:

"I've adapted to this place."

He can open his mouth and speak, which seems to mean he has consumed enough natural energy.

"This is Old Whale, who is the same as the three immortals in the Three Immortal Lands."

Looking at the huge whale in front of him whose entire body could not be seen, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with amazement:

"Hello, Mr. Whale."

"Ah."

The whale replied:

"By the way, there was a ninja who said he was your friend who came here to train. I saw his eyes and they were really too strange. Moreover, I could feel that the energy contained in them was quite huge."

"Weird eyes?"

Lu Lin thought for a moment:

"You are talking about Nagato, right? His eyes are indeed the only pair of eyes like him in the entire ninja world."

"Really."

The whales were not surprised at all:

"Now that you know, I'll take a rest."

After saying that, it closed its eyes. With its body size, the energy consumed for each movement was huge. Moreover, since the old whale grew to a certain size, he no longer liked to move.

Usually it will rest with its eyes closed wherever the ocean current takes it.

Seeing that the other party fell asleep, Lu Lin stopped disturbing him and turned to look at Orochimaru and said:

"Then you should continue to practice here. When your body can accommodate natural energy, you can try to combine natural energy with chakra. By the way, there are some Tiannin training here, please watch them."

Orochimaru nodded, and Lu Lin left without looking back. Watching his leaving figure, Orochimaru didn't say much, but continued to feel the natural energy, hoping to absorb this energy into his body as soon as possible.

Lu Lin returned to the Tea Kingdom, and before he could sit down, Itachi, Kimimaro, and Jūgo ran over.

"Uncle, a monk has come to the city."

"He's just a monk. What's the fuss? After Orochimaru left, you were left alone again?"

It's just afternoon now, and the fact that these three people are of school age appear here proves that they have skipped classes again.

Itachi's originally excited expression disappeared instantly:

"This...my teacher is not here."

Looking at Itachi in front of him, Lu Lin rubbed his forehead with a headache. Although Itachi's thoughts did not become as extreme as in the original work under his teaching, he had obviously become much more naughty.

However, although he became more playful, fortunately he did not let his talent down and his strength has been steadily improving.

Lu Lin was also quite pleased with this and patted his chubby head:

"Then take a rest today and take me to see the monk you mentioned."

Itachi's eyes lit up as Lu Lin spoke, and he walked ahead with great interest to lead the way for Lu Lin:

"It's right in front. Uncle, you don't know, that monk is really strange."
