I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 229 - 193: Killing the Ferryman

Perhaps due to the vigorous exercise, pus was streaming down the ferryman's eye sockets, leaving him looking somewhat bedraggled.

"Yes, of course I'll board, please take me an additional copper coin's distance to the south."

Tian Lin flicked his finger, and a copper coin made a crisp pleasant sound in the ferryman's pouch.

His heart stirred suddenly, staring at the pouch on the ferryman's shoulder.

Both ends of that pouch bulged, not knowing how many such copper coins were inside.

With these copper coins, it would be completely possible for the ferryman to carry him back to Yulong Continent in a round trip.

After all, the ferryman didn't need rest, and his strength was exceptionally formidable. As long as he was there, his personal safety would certainly be guaranteed as long as he paid the full boat fare.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the ferryman turned and looked at Tian Lin with a gloomy gaze: "Young master, do you wish to continue sailing?"

"Yes, but I want to return to where I first boarded."

"Returning by the original route will cost six copper coins."

The ferryman's words stunned Tian Lin; he thought the ferryman, aside from asking about boarding, only had that one line, "If you do not resemble the dead, how will you move on to life?"

Unexpectedly, in addition to those two lines, this ferryman had another set of phrases.

"Six copper coins, are you raising the price on the spot?"

The ferryman had already started drawing the bamboo pole by then, still asking him: "Young master, do you wish to board?"

What more was there to say?

Innkeepers, hoteliers, as the saying goes, ought to be killed even if guiltless—it has been so since ancient times.

Tian Lin just hadn't expected that even though this 'boat' had become a ghost ship, it was still so unscrupulous.

He took out a copper coin and said, "Please take me back the way I came."

"Not enough money!"

"Then first take me a distance worth one copper coin!"

The ferryman didn't waste words, just poled and turned around to leave.

Just as Mei Immortal had said, as long as you are willing to pay the money, no matter which direction you point to, it will never refuse.

But what's frightening was that this puppet-like creature knew how to inflate prices and scam people.

This time, less than a quarter of an hour passed before the ferryman opened his mouth and asked Tian Lin: "Young master, do you still wish to board?"

Getting on the boat is easy; getting off is difficult!

Tian Lin concluded that if he disembarked, the ferryman would again ask him if he wished to board.

If he didn't pay to board, then just like how he killed those roaming souls, he would use the bamboo pole to claim his life.

"Yes, I'll take another copper coin's distance."

Tian Lin was not angry and took out another copper coin.

But he was certain that the ferryman would reduce the distance, demanding more money. Thus, he anticipated that even with twenty more copper coins, he likely wouldn't be able to return to where Mei Immortal and others were.

Because of this, Tian Lin had already given up the idea of going back to look for Mei Immortal.

He pointed into the sea, saying: "I want you to carry me underwater."

If it were a real boatman, he would surely think Tian Lin was picking a fight.

But the ferryman was different; as long as money was paid, he would indeed carry the person.

Soon, Tian Lin only saw the ferryman propelling the boat into the air with the bamboo pole, then the boat suddenly tipped over, plunging vertically into the sea.

After the wooden boat entered the water, Tian Lin quickly took out the Millennium Boat from the Storage Bag and hung the Storage Bag under the Millennium Boat's hull.

In an instant, he 'boarded' the ferryman's boat and dived about ten meters down.

What was the underwater scene of the Immortal Sinking Pond at ten meters deep?

Here, Sword Qi swarmed like fish; although people could not see the Sword Qi, one could see the water currents, split by these sword energies, scurrying around like bubbles.

Just as Tian Lin raised his hand to shield his eyes, his arm and cheeks were cut by the sword energies.

Not just him, the ferryman on the boat was no different.

The boat traveled another meter, the ferryman's voice unaffected in the water.

He calmly asked Tian Lin if he still wanted to continue sailing, and Tian Lin, as usual, tossed a copper coin, pointing into the deep sea.

Tian Lin, who "feared not death," had even less reason to fear, being a Ferryman who was long dead.

One man and one Evil Spirit, along with the ferry, plunged even deeper towards the seabed.

At the same ten-odd-zhang depth, each subsequent zhang held an exponentially increasing Sword Qi.

Tian Lin could use his Spiritual Sense to assimilate this Sword Qi,

He emitted his Spiritual Sense directly through his body, digesting a large amount of the Sword Qi surrounding him.

But there was still a lot of Sword Qi that he couldn't "digest" in time, which penetrated his body directly.

After the ferry descended merely two or three zhang, Tian Lin was already having a tough time coping, let alone the Ferryman.

Under Tian Lin's Spiritual Sense, the soul body of the Ferryman began to rapidly dissipate, and the pouch he wore over his shoulder fell off.

Tian Lin hurriedly caught the falling pouch, but due to insufficient protection, the pouch was shredded by the Sword Qi, scattering copper coins towards the depths.

Tian Lin executed the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill, his fist repelling the undercurrent below.

The copper coins tumbled in the dark current, many damaged by the Sword Qi, but still, Tian Lin managed to seize about twenty coins, fiercely protecting them with his Spiritual Sense.

It was a pity that the Soul Collection Beads could not be brought down, and even if brought, it was difficult to ensure the beads would not be damaged by the Sword Qi.

Tian Lin watched the Ferryman's soul dissipate but was unable to collect the residual soul.

However, to his surprise, despite the ferocious Sword Qi, the wooden token at the Ferryman's waist and the ferry itself remained undamaged.

Tian Lin didn't know where these two items came from, nor did he recognize the material they were made of.

As soon as the Ferryman died, Tian Lin picked up the copper token and dragged the ferry upwards.

He was not a Ferryman and lacked the ability to control the ferry.

But now that Immortal Sinking Pond could no longer restrain one's True Qi and Spiritual Sense, Tian Lin relied solely on his cultivation and managed to surface in less than a quarter-hour.

Since he and the Ferryman hadn't descended long, the Millennium Boat he had left on the sea was still adrift not too far away.

Tian Lin stepped onto the waves, boarded the Millennium Boat, and picked up the Storage Bag hanging beneath it.

He stored the ferry and the wooden token inside his Storage Bag, along with the twenty-odd copper coins, before heading swiftly in the direction of Mei Immortal and the others, according to his memory.

By now, dawn was approaching, but within the heavy fog, Tian Lin could not perceive it clearly.

After traveling for an hour by boat, he finally saw Mei Immortal's large ship from afar.

Since it was daylight, there were noticeably fewer roaming souls than at night.

When Tian Lin reached Mei Immortal's location, although there were Cultivators on the sea still busy fighting Evil Spirits, the battle was clearly not as intense as it had been at dawn.

Tian Lin's arrival caught everyone by surprise; on the large ship, Mei Immigrant looked at Tian Lin with odd eyes.

As soon as Tian Lin boarded the ship, Mei Immigrant asked him in disbelief, "Last night, how did you get away from the Ferryman?"

Tian Lin replied, "Didn't Immortal ask me to find the Great Elder? As long as I found the Great Elder, I would surely get away from the Ferryman, right?"

Mei Immigrant frowned; she had sent Tian Lin to his death.

She herself couldn't deal with the Ferryman and didn't believe the Tong Family's Great Elder had such ability.

Besides, where could one easily find the trace of the Great Elder in the vast Immortal Sinking Pond?

"Did you find the Great Elder?"

Tian Lin shook his head and said, "Last night, I encountered a Golden Core cultivator. If it weren't for that Golden Core cultivator's help, I might not have made it back alive."

"In Immortal Sinking Pond, aside from my senior uncle and that person surnamed Zhou, there's only Sister Tong Yao—

But Tong Yao isn't on Immortal Sinking Pond, did you run into someone surnamed Zhou or my senior uncle?"

Tian Lin guessed the person surnamed Zhou that Mei Immigrant mentioned must be Immortal Master Zhou.

"I neither know Immortal Master Zhou nor your senior uncle, so I have no idea who that Golden Core senior was last night."

Although the battle was not as fierce at the moment, there was no shortage of roaming souls.

Mei Immigrant took seven petals from the Divine Lady Tree and tossed them to Tian Lin:

"Twice now, you've been after my Cold Fragrance Leaves. Since you like them so much, take these six Cold Fragrance Leaves as a reward."

Tian Lin spoke at length not merely to complain but was truly seeking some compensation.

Now that he had obtained seven pieces of Enlightenment Tea, how could he not be pleased?

"Thank you for your generosity, Mei Immigrant. Then I, Tian Lin, will take my leave to recover from my injuries."

Mei Immigrant didn't stop Tian Lin but said to her sword holder: "Take my Array Flag and send him off."

The sword holder took the Array Flag, glanced at Tian Lin, and turned to leave.

She approached the Light Shield at the stern that kept out the roaming souls, touched it with the Array Flag, and instantly a slit opened in the Light Shield.

The slit widened until it was large enough for a boat to leave.

After closing the Order Flag, the sword holder glanced at Tian Lin.

Tian Lin bowed his hands in thanks to the sword holder and then passed through the Light Curtain.

Once Tian Lin had left, the opening in the Light Curtain closed instantly.

The sword holder returned to the bow of the ship and said to Mei Immigrant, "Immortal, could he possibly be Zhai Xingzi?"

At that moment, even Mei Immigrant was somewhat unsure.

She didn't quite believe that Tian Lin was so lucky as to be saved by a Golden Core cultivator.

But if it wasn't a Golden Core cultivator who saved him, how deeply hidden was Tian Lin's cultivation and strength?

"If he is truly Zhai Xingzi, I will take his life!"

After Mei Immigrant uttered these words, she no longer paid any attention to the sword holder.
