I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 233 - 197: Becoming the Ferryman

At that moment, Tian Lin was returning on the ferryman's boat, propelling it with the bamboo pole.

In his hand, he felt the wooden plaques he had summoned from his Storage Bag, each inscribed with the word 'Ferry'. Right now, he had a total of three such plaques in his hand.

These three wooden plaques were of identical shape, completely black but differing in weight.

Tian Lin remembered seeing such a wooden plaque at Zhai Xingzi's waist, but the one there had a red edge.

"Can one become a Ferryman with this plaque and the ferry boat?"

While Tian Lin had such a guess in his mind, he did not rashly hang the plaque at his waist.

He propelled the boat with the bamboo pole and quickly returned to the large ship where Mei Immortal was.

Due to Mei Immortal's arrival, the previously messy defense line had also been restored to order. Those people did not know what Tian Lin had been through, nor were they aware of his encounter with Mei Immortal.

Their faces were extremely unsightly when they first spotted the ferry,

but when they saw it was Tian Lin on the ferry, their expressions became exceptionally vivid, and their minds were completely relaxed.

Now, their worry was no longer the threat of the Ferryman, for it was nearly dawn, and time for a shift change.

What distressed them now was that each person still owed Tian Lin three top-grade Spirit Stones.

But Tian Lin's strength was too unfathomable, and they did not have the courage to default on their debts—

"Second brother!"

Seeing Tian Lin appear, Gao He greeted him with a bowing smile.

Tian Lin also bowed with a smile, "Is Big Brother going to give me the Spirit Stones now? Good, you and sister-in-law owe me six top-grade Spirit Stones—

If you don't have top-grade Spirit Stones, you can also use soul collecting beads as payment."

Gao He's smile froze, and he could no longer find the words to cozy up or default on the debt.

Tian Lin did not entangle with Gao He, instead returning to his own boat.

Yu'er hurried forward, passing a bag and a list to Tian Lin.

Tian Lin glanced at the bag, finding inside nine top-grade Spirit Stones, while the list had three names written on it.

Tian Lin nodded to those three individuals and then spoke to the others: "If you don't have enough Spirit Stones, you can also exchange soul collecting beads. If I remember correctly, a soul collecting bead filled with Residual Souls can also be traded for one top-grade Spirit Stone."

Tian Lin's words seemed correct, but in reality, who would sell soul collecting beads?

In the merchant families, a soul collecting bead could indeed be exchanged for a top-grade Spirit Stone.

But for a private individual, trying to buy a soul collecting bead filled with Residual Souls with a top-grade Spirit Stone was absolutely impossible.

"Forget it, forget it, just pretend I never went out tonight."

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator spoke, then threw three soul collecting beads, filled with Residual Souls, to Tian Lin.

With a wave of his sleeve, the three beads flying through the air were instantly swept into his sleeve.

Tian Lin smiled, bowed to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and asked, "Which friend wishes to hand over their soul collecting beads now?"

Avoidance was futile, and, including Gao He and his wife, everyone ended up handing over their soul collecting beads.

Mei Immortal watched all this coldy from the big ship, not stopping Tian Lin.

At this moment, the sea surface, due to the previous battle and appearance of three Ferrymen, had very few roaming souls left.

And Mei Immortal's sword holder had also returned to shore to find the Day Patrol Deity's Foundation Establishment Cultivators and change shifts.

Before long, as Tian Lin had just finished collecting the soul beads, ten or so boats approached from afar.

The shift change was easy; Tian Lin and sisters Yu'er smoothly returned to the shore as they checked the soul collecting beads.

Cui'er couldn't help but excitedly say: "Daoist Tian collected so many soul collecting beads, will he have a chance to enter the Shuiyun Sect?"

Yu'er believed Tian Lin was not Zhai Xingzi, convinced he was Tian Shuang.

Therefore, she was even happier than Cui'er, but after thinking it over, she shook her head:

"Our Tong Family dispatched so many disciples and elders this time, aiming for the Shuiyun Sect disciple spots. Thus, the Outer Disciple slot will definitely fall on a Tong Family disciple's head—we—

Tian Daoist probably has no chance of becoming an Outer Disciple of the Shuiyun Sect."

If Tian Lin became an immortal disciple, her station as a sword holder would rise along with his, and she could flaunt her status just like Mei Immortal's sword holders in the future.

Yu'er didn't harbor thoughts of flaunting her status; she merely envied the position and cultivation convenience of Mei Immortal's sword holders.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Tao, even their pets ascend to heaven.

Sold into slavery in exchange for their life's work, these sword holders sought nothing more than to bask in their master's glory.

---

While the two maidens gossiped, Tian Lin's boat had already reached the shore.

On the coast, both the eastern and western factions had already gathered.

Tian Lin noticed that the Foundation Establishment Cultivators guarding the eastern front against Evil Spirits were particularly agitated, clamoring about something he couldn't discern.

He approached Long Dan Master and heard him saying:

"Young Master Thirteen really has rotten luck. Last night, he guarded the south side. Today, he thought he could get some rest on the west side, but who would've thought he'd encounter a Day Patrol Deity."

Hearing the term "Day Patrol Deity," Tian Lin's grip on his teacup paused, and he turned to listen as Long Dan Master continued:

"It was fortunate that a Golden Core cultivator from the Shuiyun Sect and Daoist Zhou intervened. Otherwise, Young Master Thirteen might not have made it back."

Tian Lin couldn't help but interject: "Surviving an encounter with a Day Patrol Deity speaks volumes about Thirteen Young Master's strength.

But even if there's a Day Patrol Deity in the sea, it should've been exterminated by the seniors of the Shuiyun Sect and Daoist Zhou. How could one appear in the western sea area?"

Listening to Long Dan Master: "How numerous are the roaming souls and deities in the Immortal Sinking Pond? It's not so easy to exterminate them all. You say Thirteen Young Master's strength is notable, and you're right;

although he's not an immortal disciple, his talent and strength are no less inferior. Everyone is clear that he will soon become an Outer Disciple of the Shuiyun Sect, and that's something the sect has tacitly agreed upon."

After praising Tong Shisan, Long Dan Master asked Tian Lin: "I heard that your Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill has reached the Great Achievement Realm. Is it because you consumed one of my Buddha Demon Pills?"

Hearing Long Dan Master say this, not only did Cui'er and Yu'er think Long Dan Master was shameless, but even his own sword holder, Zhong'er, thought his master was daydreaming.

Who didn't know that Long Dan Master's Buddha Demon Pill couldn't be used to cultivate the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill?

Nevertheless, Long Dan Master was extremely conceited about his alchemy skills, never admitting any defects in the Elixirs he refined.

"It seems to have some effect, but I'm afraid your Elixir formula is not complete, Long Daoist."

It was Tian Lin who spoke. If it had been someone else criticizing like this, Long Dan Master would have surely lost his temper.

"I also feel that my formula is incomplete, probably missing one or two herbs. What exactly is missing still needs to be experimentally determined."

After drinking his tea, Tian Lin cupped his fists to Long Dan Master and ascended to the second floor of the Alchemy Room.

Because the surroundings of the Immortal Sinking Pond were too noisy and crowded, Tian Lin had borrowed the second floor from Long Dan Master for cultivation.

Upon entering the room, he wasn't in a hurry to meditate but instead took out all the Ferryman tokens.

Ever since he saw Zhai Xingzi's token edged with red, Tian Lin grew interested in these tokens.

Holding one of them, he emulated Zhai Xingzi's gesture and squeezed forcefully.

The token was extremely hard; Tian Lin exerted all his strength but couldn't budge it an inch.

Frowning, Tian Lin filled his palm with True Qi and squeezed again, only to find the token in his palm remained intact as before.

After much thought, Tian Lin bit his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the token.

In an instant, darkness engulfed the entire room.

When Tian Lin looked up, he saw the daylight outside the window had transformed into moonlight and a sky full of stars.

Unsure of his own whereabouts, he only saw endless rivers below, where Resentful Souls struggled in the water.

Looking up again, he saw a skull hanging high in the night sky, devouring countless Resentful Souls with a single bite.

"If you do not die, how can you be reborn?"

Tian Lin was not sure whether this voice came from the skull's mouth, but he only saw a mountainous finger protruding from the void, pointing through the air directly at him.

There was no escape from this single point for Tian Lin.

He felt his Divine Soul burning, the flames causing him indescribable pain.

Tian Lin's eyes nearly burst in agony, and just when he didn't know what to do, the scene in front of him shifted.

The void's moon and stars, as well as the skull devouring the souls, disappeared.

The mountains below and the countless Resentful Souls had also vanished without a trace.

Tian Lin found himself still on the second floor of the alchemy room.

Outside the window, the noisy crowd was still bustling, each engaged in their own business, with no one noticing the ordeal Tian Lin had just experienced on the second floor.

"A hallucination?"

Tian Lin frowned, then reached for the badge at his waist: "Not a hallucination—I am now the Ferryman."
