Chapter 2503: Chapter 2523: If I Find It, It’s My Luck; If I Don’t, It’s My Fate!

"Who are you looking for?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "You seem very confident in finding the Saint Child, so why can’t you find the person you are looking for?"

The middle-aged man’s face showed a bitter expression, "The Saint Child has a special identity. As long as someone has seen him, there will inevitably be news. I’ve been here for many years because I’m looking for someone. I’ve met some people, and there’s a high probability of finding the Saint Child."

"The person I’m looking for is just an unremarkable individual, who might even be dead by now. She and the Saint Child are not comparable."

Lin Chen thought for a moment, "You help me find the Saint Child, and I will persuade the Saint Child to do his best to help you. I can’t guarantee the result."

Lin Chen was not Shangguan Wenyin; he couldn’t overstep his bounds and make decisions for others.

The middle-aged man’s eyes sparkled with intense hope, and he clasped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, that’s enough. If I find her, it’s my fortune; if I don’t, it’s my fate!"

Lin Chen was originally uninterested in who the middle-aged man was looking for, but seeing the man’s expression and hearing his tone, he couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "Who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged man was silent, his fingers tightening slightly.

Just as Lin Chen thought the middle-aged man wouldn’t answer him, a low voice faintly reached Lin Chen’s ears.

"My daughter."

"She was previously harassed by a male disciple within our sect. She fought back and ended up killing the male disciple. That man’s family was powerful and influential. My daughter was sentenced to exile for five hundred years."

"My daughter isn’t very strong, how could she survive these five hundred years? They simply found it too satisfying to directly kill her. They wanted her to suffer before death."

"At the time of the incident, I was ordered to be away on a mission. By the time I returned, my daughter had already entered Kutuo Sea. I prepared right away and then came here to find her. I have been searching for years now... with no news..."

The middle-aged man spoke up to this point, his voice very low. Clearly, after years of searching, he was almost losing hope.

Lin Chen thought for a while, "Have you tried using rewards or something similar that could draw more attention to your daughter?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "I can only search in secret. If I search for her openly, even if I find her, I won’t be able to protect her, and it might even harm her..."

After a pause, the middle-aged man brought his hand to his face, his voice carrying a twinge of sobbing, "Outside, I couldn’t protect her, and even here, I still can’t protect her..."

Perhaps because this matter had been crushed in his heart for too long, and now he could use the identity of the Saint Child to search for his daughter, he finally couldn’t help but have a mental breakdown, revealing his genuine emotions.

Lin Chen looked at the man who could barely hide his sobs yet tried hard to conceal them, and thinking of how weary and haggard he looked when they first met, Lin Chen’s heart filled with compassion, and he silently made up his mind.

If his daughter was still alive, he would do all he could to find her and help them, father and daughter, leave this place.

After all, they were just minor characters that no one cared about. If they disappeared, others would at most think they had died.

Although Lin Chen had made up his mind, he didn’t utter another word out loud.

Some things are better done than said.

"Where should I establish myself now?"

The middle-aged man replied, "If you have the ability, you can look for work in the territories of the Major Forces. To maintain the rule over this place and the operation of various facilities, they need a lot of manpower."

"If they choose you, it means you have a stable place to stay. You can live inside those buildings, without having to endure the hardships of the tides day and night."

"If you don’t have the ability, then just endure. You can join small groups, supporting each other with spiritual Qi to resist the tides, and then buy Sea Perception Beads. You can go down to the sea bottom yourself to look for Clam Pearls. I know some areas where the sea is shallow, making it easier to dive to the sea bottom. I can tell you, but the same goes for these areas—most have been searched already, making the odds of finding Clam Pearls low."

Lin Chen asked, "Sea Perception Beads, what are those?"

"They’re exploratory Magical Treasures!"

The middle-aged man replied, "The power of the Spiritual Energy Tides greatly reduces the effectiveness of Divine Sense at the sea bottom. Sea Perception Beads can sense the breath of life at the sea bottom; if you get close to sea life, the Sea Perception Beads will react, compensating for the lack of sensing ability."

"The downside of Sea Perception Beads is they can sense sea life but can’t distinguish what kind of creature it is, nor can they determine if the creature is dangerous. So when the Sea Perception Beads glow, you may have sensed a sea clam, but you could also have sensed other sea beasts, or even dangerous Sea Demons."

Lin Chen frowned, "Are the Sea Demons of Kutuo Sea powerful?"

The middle-aged man sighed, "There are very few Sea Demons in Kutuo Sea, so the chance of encountering one isn’t high. But if you really meet one, all you can do is count yourself unlucky, especially that giant turtle rumored to live in the deepest part of Kutuo Sea—if you encounter it, it’s basically death, with no chance of escape."

Giant turtle?

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Even a Daluo Ultimate Immortal or a Daluo Initial Immortal can’t handle it?"
