I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 34 - 33 Immortal Ascension Ladder (Please Follow)
Seeing Xiao Yue about to leave, Tian Lin turned his head and said, "I hope Young Master Shang can tell me the reason he asked me to do this."
Xiao Yue froze, then turned around to glare at Tian Lin and lashed out with her whip, snapping the stool next to him.
"Does Young Master need to give you reasons when he asks you to do something? Have you forgotten your own status?"
Tian Lin glanced at the broken stool beside him, not intimidated by Xiao Yue’s display, and still looking at her, he said:
"I just want you to relay my words to Young Master Shang today. Whether he chooses to kill or beat me, that’s for him to decide."
"Fine, I will report your words exactly as you said to Young Master. But don’t you forget about Young Master’s task."
After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she turned and whipped towards the doorway, followed by a scream from around the corner outside.
The servant disciple, caught off guard, lay sprawled on the ground, crying out in pain.
Hearing the cry, Han Li also emerged from his room at this moment, just in time to see Xiao Yue coming out of Tian Lin’s room.
He gave a salute and then pointing at the servant disciple on the ground, he asked, "May I know what offense my brother has given to Miss Xiao Yue to warrant such a heavy hand?"
Xiao Yue said, "Next time you tell him to eavesdrop, don’t let him put his head so close to me. If he hears something that he shouldn’t, I fear he’ll no longer have the chance to lie down and cry like this."
After Xiao Yue left with purpose, the servant disciple on the ground finally cried out, "They were arguing in the room, why did I have to take the beating? I didn’t see anything, nor did I hear anything."
Han Li frowned, ordered some people to carry away the servant disciple on the ground, and then entered Tian Lin’s room.
Seeing Tian Lin cleaning up the stool, he approached and frowned, "What happened, aren’t you all under Young Master Shang?"
Tian Lin wanted to ask what was really going on, why would Young Master Shang want him to kill Han Li?
He threw the broken stool into the corner and said, "Before I joined the sect, I had killed her father. Probably because of that, she holds resentment towards me."
Hearing this, Han Li gasped, his expression changed several times before he finally shook his head and said:
"Forget it, I won’t ask about your grudge with her father. Just remember one thing, if you want to establish yourself in Lianshui Peak, try to avoid Miss Xiao Yue as much as possible."
"I appreciate Brother Han’s kind advice! But you being so close to me, I’m afraid Miss Xiao Yue will resent you too if she sees us together."
Realizing the implications, Han Li then laughed, "Manager Shang and I are both men of the Third Manager. Manager Shang won’t do anything to me. Besides, even if Xiao Yue resents me because of you, I’m not afraid of her."
"Third Manager?"
Tian Lin was puzzled, then heard Han Li say, "Our Lianshui Peak now has four managers in the sect. Apart from Manager Shang, the other three are descendants of Elder Liu. This Third Manager is Elder Liu’s grandson."
Tian Lin was confused.
According to his guess, Young Master Shang wanting him to kill Han Li must be due to conflict with the Third Manager.
But according to Han Li, both he and Young Master Shang were people of the Third Manager.
After speaking, Han Li turned his head and left, Tian Lin hesitated for a moment but did not step forward to explain.
After noon, Han Li’s partridge call resonated outside, shouting, "Get to work, don’t blame others if you don’t get a spot!"
There was chaos in the bamboo corridor, as the shirtless servant disciples barefooted disappeared into their rooms, except for the disciple who had been whipped, still crying ’ouch’ next door.
Tian Lin did not go down to the river; he moved the table to the bedside, sat down, and took a bite of the ’Three-legged Mini Qilin.’
The tender leg meat instantly filled Tian Lin’s taste buds, and he crunched through the tender bone, feeling a surge of Fire Spiritual Energy in his body.
Tian Lin did not dare to be careless and promptly circulated the ’Five Elements Foundation Establishment Method.’ The Fire Spiritual Energy followed his meridians, gathered at the acupoint of his first meridian, and began to entwine with the Water Spiritual Qi in the acupoint.
Sweating from his forehead, fortunately, the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Method guided him, preventing the two types of Spiritual Energy from clashing inside his body.
The whole afternoon, he sat in meditation in his room and finally absorbed all the Fire Spiritual Energy brought by the ’Three-legged Mini Qilin.’
Unfortunately, his cultivation technique was the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Method, but even if the technique was inadequate, the progress he made in the past two days was equivalent to a year’s effort for a regular person.
After all, how could an ordinary person have the chance to eat ’Crystal Fish’ and ’Three-legged Mini Qilin’?
In the afternoon, Han Li did not look for Tian Lin, and Tian Lin also did not go to the cafeteria to buy Grass God Fish and Three-legged Toad to eat.
His first acupoint was already sufficient with Water and Fire Spiritual Energy; what he lacked was Golden, Wood, and Earth Spiritual Qi.
However, these three types of Spiritual Qi, Tian Lin did not see any food in the cafeteria that could replenish them.
Come afternoon, the Dao Bell rang, and the servant disciples of the mining school had finished their shift.
Tian Lin got some plain food from the cafeteria and did not buy Grass God Fish or Three-legged Mini Qilin again.
On his way back, Tian Lin made a special visit to Han Li’s room.
Han Li was surprised by Tian Lin’s visit, stood up, and said, "Brother Tian has come?"
Tian Lin put the food on the table and sat down opposite Han Li, asking, "Aren’t you curious what Xiao Yue wanted from me?"
Han Li was taken aback and retorted, "Does this have anything to do with me?"
Tian Lin bluntly said, "Xiao Yue, at the behest of Young Master Shang, came to find me and asked me to kill Brother Han."
Hearing this, Han Li shook his head, then burst into laughter, "I have no quarrel with her or her master; why would they want my life?"
Tian Lin frowned, thinking Han Li would know the reason, but it seemed that Han Li was also unaware of why Young Master Shang wanted to kill him.
Han Li said, "Moreover, as far as I’m concerned, aside from a few Managers, I hardly think there is anyone at Lianshui Peak who can be my match. As for you, Brother Tian, if I’m not mistaken, you’ve only recently entered the first-rate Martial Realm, correct?"
There was no sense in hiding it, so Tian Lin nodded, "Indeed, I have just entered the first-rate Martial Realm."
With a mocking smile, Han Li continued, "Then why would Young Master Shang let a junior who has just reached the first-rate level come to kill me, a Grandmaster?"
He felt that Tian Lin was trying to sow discord, using him to deal with Xiao Yue. But such an attempt at creating division was too clumsy.
Without explaining, Tian Lin said:
"Brother Han has helped me a lot these past two days, so I don’t want to assassinate you from behind. I’ve said all I need to say today, just a word of caution for Brother Han to be careful—whether you believe it or not is beyond my control."
Seeing Tian Lin’s earnestness, Han Li couldn’t help asking, "If Young Master Shang wants you to kill me, why would you betray him? Aren’t you afraid of Young Master Shang’s punishment?"

If Tian Lin had truly taken the Heartache Gu from Young Master Shang, then he would never dare to betray Young Master Shang so boldly.
Unfortunately for Young Master Shang, the Heartache Gu that Tian Lin had taken turned into a Body Refining Pill.
Although Young Master Shang was an Outer Disciple, he could smooth things over even if he killed a servant disciple.
But the small Lianshui Peak also had its own saying, ’shallow waters hold more frogs’; Young Master Shang, the only Manager at Lianshui Peak not from the Liu Family, could the Liu family members, who were not Managers, allow Young Master Shang to slip up?
"Firstly, Brother Han, you’re unlikely to turn me in; secondly, I don’t really want to cross swords with you—and thirdly, if Brother Han does report me, I’ll just say that Xiao Yue was careless when she passed me the message and a servant disciple outside overheard. After all, there genuinely was someone eavesdropping at that time, which everyone knows."
Han Li looked at Tian Lin speechlessly for a long while, then shook his head still somewhat disbelieving:
"No matter how I think about it, I can’t figure out how you could possibly kill me. If it’s just about using poison, I’d imagine Young Master Shang would find his own way to dispatch me without detection."
"I also can’t understand why Young Master Shang wants me to kill you, but Xiao Yue, if she doesn’t see your head in a month, she’ll hold me accountable."
"What do you plan to do?"
Tian Lin replied succinctly, "Since Brother Han is unwilling to join me against Xiao Yue, then help me improve my cultivation so that I can help you kill Xiao Yue."
He wanted to kill Young Master Shang, but clearly wasn’t powerful enough yet.
But killing Xiao Yue was already part of his plan and wasn’t impossible.
"You want to kill Xiao Yue?"
Han Li stood up, looked around to make sure no one could hear them, and then leaned close to Tian Lin and said, "No offense, but with your cultivation level, how do you plan to kill Xiao Yue?"
"Let’s worry about whether I can kill her later, but if I only have the strength of the first-rate Martial Realm, I am afraid I stand no chance of protecting myself if she really turns on me."
Han Li frowned, thinking Tian Lin’s words were madness.
The gap between the first-rate realm and a Grandmaster wasn’t only in Martial Arts, but also in cultivation.
Such a disparity couldn’t be bridged by short-term training.
But although he didn’t take Tian Lin’s ’incitement’ to confront Xiao Yue, he also didn’t want to just watch Tian Lin die.
"Fine, I can teach you Martial Arts, but I want no part in the affair with your Young Master."
After saying that, Han Li went back to eating.
Tian Lin didn’t say much more; he was certain that Young Master Shang had no enmity with Han Li.
To kill Han Li must surely be for some other grand scheme.
Tian Lin had no idea what grand plot Young Master Shang had in mind, but he didn’t want to be ruined in Young Master Shang’s conspiracy.
He remembered Manager Xu once mentioned that there was a big secret hidden in Young Master Shang’s mine.
Tian Lin wasn’t particularly interested in the big secret, hoping only that whatever ambitions Young Master Shang had, they wouldn’t involve him.
So it was best to distance himself from Young Master Shang or even to get rid of the source of trouble directly.
After all, he had long since decided to take Young Master Shang’s head to pay tribute to Da Liu and Elder Zhang.
"Miss Xiao Yue’s Martial Arts Realm has reached the Grandmaster Level, and is even stronger than the average Grandmaster. I don’t know how I can help you catch up with her in a month. Simply improving Martial Arts might not be very effective."
After finishing the meal, Han Li put down his utensils and spoke.
Tian Lin smiled upon hearing this and said, "A month’s time, I think, should be sufficient."
Thinking it over, Han Li paced back and forth in the room a few times, then suddenly turned to Tian Lin and suggested, "If you’re not afraid of being ridiculed, we could try ascending the Immortal Ladder together."
"The Immortal Ladder?"
Tian Lin raised an eyebrow; he had never heard of the ’Immortal Ladder’.
"Do you know about our Yao Yue Sect’s immortal gate? There is a stone staircase there with three platforms. Whoever reaches the first platform takes the first step in Qi Cultivation and can be promoted from servant disciple to Outer Disciple."
He didn’t go on about the second and third platforms, and Tian Lin didn’t ask.
Because as soon as Han Li mentioned the gate, Tian Lin remembered countless elegantly dressed young men climbing the mountain only to fall off the cliffs.
He also recalled an old man traversing the abyss with an iron chain, eventually decapitated, his head rolling down the stone steps, dying with eyes wide open.
An insurmountable gulf lay between the realms of immortals and mortals, a boundary forbidding to both human and ghost.
