I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 234 - 198 Bitter Heart Tea

"What is Bitter Heart Tea, and how many Spirit Stones does it cost?"

"Bitter Heart Tea is just ordinary tea leaves, worth merely a few Silvers. Because it's extremely bitter, nobody really drinks it; it's more of a medicine than tea."

Listening to Yu'er recite these details, Tian Lin felt relieved and said, "You go prepare a bit, let's visit Young Master Shisan."

Tian Lin's purpose for visiting Tong Shisan was simple, in his view, the Immortal Sinking Pond would soon be impassable.

Unless the Shuiyun Sect sent a Nascent Soul Cultivator over, the fall of Pingyang City was just a matter of time.

But Tian Lin wanted to use the Transmission Array without affecting its operation when Pingyang City fell, and he also wanted to obtain the Heavenly Water Breathing Technique from the Shuiyun Sect before leaving Pingyang City.

The safest method was to foster good relations with Tong Family, the local authority.

But other members of the Tong Family were not easy to approach, only Tong Shisan was humble and cordial, displaying the demeanor of a gentleman.

Soon enough, Yu'er returned upstairs.

She was holding a delicate package and also carried a newly made name card.

Looking at the sky, Tian Lin didn't waste words, immediately took the package and went to Pingyang City with Yu'er controlling the sword.

In the Tong Family's old mansion, the butler, after receiving Tian Lin's visiting card and name card, quickly went inside.

Not long after, the pale-faced Tong Shisan walked out with head held high, greeting Tian Lin from afar:

"Brother Tian, I have long wanted to talk with you, but with the urgent situation at Immortal Sinking Pond, I have been too busy to invite you for a drink."

Tian Lin entered the house and addressed Tong Shisan: "My visit today is unannounced, and it's truly embarrassing to see Young Master Shisan personally welcome me despite being ill."

Tong Shisan laughed heartily: "Such a minor wound wouldn't keep me in bed. Moreover, with Brother Tian visiting, it'd be rude of Tong Thirteen not to greet you."

While speaking, he instructed his sword holder: "Go tell them to prepare food in the kitchen, today I intend to keep Brother Tian company till we're drunk."

Tian Lin quickly raised his hand to stop him: "I must go to Immortal Sinking Pond for an exorcism tonight, I'm afraid it's not advisable to stay long."

"We must at least have a meal before you go."

Tong Shisan personally led the way, taking Tian Lin to the back of the Tong Family's old mansion.

As he walked to the back house, a little girl stumbled out running.

The little girl, with her hair tied in a ponytail, lunged at Tong Shisan who approached.

He stooped down, lifting her high when she opened her arms, laughing loudly: "Why aren't you staying inside with your sister, what brings you out here?"

The little girl spoke in a childlike tone, "It's suffocating inside, there's nothing fun at all. Shisan Bro, take me to catch Sea Demons."

Tong Shisan, holding the girl with one hand, walked towards the pavilion in the small garden, saying, "There are no Sea Demons in the Immortal Sinking Pond now, and even if there were, could your small frame catch them?"

"What can't be done? I heard from my sister that you went to catch demons in the Immortal Sinking Pond when you were seven. Now I'm already eight, I can catch Sea Demons just as well."

Tong Shisan laughed again, but at that moment a scolding voice came from inside the room: "Miaomiao, don't you know your Shisan brother is hurt? Come down quick."

Tian Lin could clearly see T

ong Shisan's waist was indeed bleeding.

Hearing a female voice from inside a room, he turned away, avoiding looking in that direction, as a sign of propriety.

At that moment, Tang Shisan also set the little girl down, patting her on the head: "Alright, go find your sister to play, I need to talk with a friend here."

With the little girl gone, Tian Lin finally placed the package on the table, saying: "This Nourishing God Pill is not valuable, but the Bitter Heart Tea inside is a token of my goodwill, hoping it will hasten Young Master Shisan's recovery."

Tong Shisan invited Tian Lin to take a seat and said, "It seems that Tian, my friend, has been misled by the rumors outside. Actually, I do not like drinking Bitter Heart Tea."

As soon as he said this, Tian Lin was surprised and 'oh'ed.

Yu'er, who had accompanied Tian Lin along the way, hurriedly apologized: "It's all this servant's fault for making decisions on her own, it was the servant who suggested buying the Bitter Heart Tea for Daoist Tian."

Tong Shisan waved his hand and said, "I drink only Bitter Heart Tea all year round, so it's normal for people to misunderstand. Anyhow, thanks for your kind intentions, Brother Tian."

After finishing speaking, he took out a box containing Bitter Heart Tea from his package and gestured for his servants to brew the tea.

At this time, the dishes started to come out, and while waiting, Tong Shisan explained to Tian Lin,

"Bitter Heart Tea is a kind of medicine that can alleviate the pain of injuries."

Tong Shisan said, "When I was a child, my mother had high expectations of me, so at a very young age, I was made to cultivate many techniques that my peers couldn't."

"Because of this, I was covered in wounds every day, all eased only by Bitter Heart Tea."

Tian Lin nodded and said, "That young girl mentioned earlier that young master Shisan started hunting Sea Demons in Immortal Sinking Pond at the age of seven, which shows behind Shisan young master's talents lie unimaginable hardships."

Tong Shisan laughed and said, "It's nothing much, as the saying goes, first comes the bitter, then the sweet. If one can achieve the goal, then no matter how bitter, it doesn't feel bitter anymore."

Then, as the servants brought up the brewed tea, he took a cup and sipped from it.

Tian Lin also brewed himself a cup; this Bitter Tea was just ordinary tea leaves, showing hints that weren't much help to him.

But after all, the 'modified' hints; the tea that others find bitterly unpleasant, tasted as sweet as dessert to Tian Lin.

Seeing Tian Lin drink Bitter Heart Tea as if drinking sweet water, Tong Shisan's eyes lit up:

"I knew it, Brother Tian, being so young and already with such cultivation, must have also endured hardships behind the scenes. Probably, the hardships Brother Tian faced are no less than those of Brother Tong."

Tian Lin was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain.

He thought for a moment, having been through two lifetimes, indeed he had not suffered little.

But he really didn't feel it was bitter, as he almost hadn't tasted what 'sweet' was, so there was nothing to compare.

"That day when young master Shisan and I unintentionally met at the tea shop, you must have mistaken me for Zhai Xingzi. Ashamed to say, I am not an immortal disciple of Wendaos Sect."

Zhai Xingzi has already been exposed, although only Mei Immortal knows about it.

But since Tian Lin wanted to foster a good relationship with Tong Shisan, it was best to be honest about everything.

Tong Shisan laughed and said, "What should be ashamed is me, for making assumptions and taking Brother Tian for Daoist Zhai Xingzi—

But it doesn't matter whether you are Zhai Xingzi or not, or whether you are an immortal disciple or not. Your strength clearly shows both your talent and effort, which makes Brother Tong respect you even more."

At this point, the dishes had also been served, and just as Tong Shisan was about to pour wine for Tian Lin, a servant girl suddenly entered and said, "Young master, the lady has arrived."

Hearing the words 'the lady,' both Tian Lin and Tong Shisan stood up.

Tian Lin noticed that upon hearing the words 'the lady,' Tong Shisan seemed to become very nervous.

To avoid making Tong Shisan uncomfortable, and because Tian Lin found it inconvenient to meet female family members, he simply looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late now, next time there is a chance, I will disturb young master Shisan again."

Tong Shisan did not retain him, and after giving a bow to Tian Lin, had the servant girl escort Tian Lin out through the side door.

After leaving the old Tong residence, Tian Lin asked Yu'er, "It seems that young master Shisan is somewhat afraid of his mother?"

Yu'er replied, "The lady is extremely strict, especially with young master Shisan. I heard that young master Shisan grew up being physically disciplined."

Tian Lin sighed and said, "As the son of a prominent family, tasked with bearing the family business, inevitably he has his troubles. Young master Shisan's life as a young master is not so joyful either."

While that is true, Tian Lin could not empathize with Tong Shisan.

He himself came from the background of Huahua Lang, a class exploited by noble families.

What right did he have to sympathize with Tong Shisan who had no worries about food and clothing?

Just like the collection of Residual Souls in Immortal Sinking Pond this time, countless Huahua Lang, even risking their lives, could only exchange soul-gathering beads for some rewards from Shuiyun Sect.

And it is well-known that the position of Outer Disciple of Shuiyun Sect, Tong Shisan is one of the designated.

Even if there is another Outer Disciple position available, it would be selected from among the Tong Family's children, unrelated to those Huahua Lang who risk their lives at Immortal Sinking Pond.

Leaving Pingyang City with his servant and arriving at Immortal Sinking Pond, the sky had already completely darkened.

In the distance, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the day shift had already returned by boat.

Suddenly, Tian Lin asked a Foundation Establishment Cultivator heading to take up a defensive position in the west, "Young Master Shisan is currently ill, who is commanding in his place?"

That Foundation Establishment Cultivator, knowing Tian Lin's power, courteously replied, "It's Xing Bufan, the Tribute."

Tian Lin nodded, and as the day's Foundation Establishment Cultivators approached, he, along with Yu'er and Cui'er, boarded the Immortal Sinking Pond.

Only this time, the boat that Tian Lin released was no longer a regular boat, but a ferry.
