I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 40 - 36: The First Stone Platform (Please Follow)

A few dishes, Tian Lin had been eating for over two hours.

He didn’t clean up the food box and dishes, but first wiped his greasy hands with felt cloth, then immediately stepped onto the fifty-fifth stone stair.

In the Stone Stairs Illusion Realm, five second-rate experts surrounded him in a circle, laughing heartily, their mouths occasionally moving as if saying something to ’himself’.

Unfortunately, Tian Lin couldn’t hear a thing they were saying in the illusion; from the first stone stair till now, the people and objects he encountered seemed like living beings yet also like a silent film.

All of a sudden, the five second-rate experts rushed toward him.

With a sweep of his hand and a slash of his knife, the five second-rate experts fell in unison.

"Now, I must have over seventy years of cultivation, right?"

The effect of the Elixir of Wishes was strong, but just like the Soul Burying Pollen, its potency would gradually diminish.

However, Tian Lin had increased his cultivation by over twenty years in just two short hours, a progress that could not be deemed anything but miraculous.

By his estimation, even though the potency of the Elixir of Wishes had decreased, it could still boost his cultivation.

With a few more days of ingestion, Grandmaster Cultivation would be within easy reach.

After some thought, Tian Lin didn’t stop there but continued to ascend, step by step.

Finally, he stopped at the sixty-third stone stair.

He heard footsteps descending from the stairs above and then heard a young man exclaim in surprise:

"It’s Brother Tian, not bad. Yesterday, it was only the fifty-fourth level, yet today you dare to rise to the sixty-third."

Tian Lin remembered the white-robed youth with a sword; yesterday he had mentioned that he was a Supervisor of the Chores Courtyard at Sword Peak.

Tian Lin didn’t know how the youth learned his name, so he could only reply: "Yesterday I didn’t get the chance to thank Senior Brother for your advice."

The white-robed youth smiled and said: "We are all Huahua Lang who have left our homes behind to Seek Immortality. It’s only natural to help each other, there’s nothing to thank. However, it’s getting late, to avoid encountering those hot-tempered Outer Disciples, I advise you to descend the mountain early."

Tian Lin was momentarily stunned, then thanked him with cupped hands once more.

After watching the white-robed youth leave, he thought for a moment and then followed down the stairs.

After descending the sixty-three levels, by the time he carried the food box to the mountain gate, he saw Han Li meditating there.

Seeming to feel someone approaching, Han Li opened his eyes. After confirming that it was Tian Lin, he said: "I saw you cultivating at the sixtieth level, so I didn’t disturb you and came down to wait for you first."

After thanking Han Li, Tian Lin asked: "I just met that Sword Peak Disciple from yesterday. He told me that it’s very dangerous at this time in the evening."

Upon hearing this, Han Li said: "The white-robed youth you’re talking about should be Bai Ye; his martial skills have reached an incredible level—As for it being dangerous, maybe it’s just his prejudice against the Outer Disciples."

Tian Lin frowned upon hearing this, it sounded like Bai Ye had a poor opinion of the Outer Disciples, thinking they were all ruffians.

But Han Li seemed to have a different view—However, considering Han Li’s usual behavior, he indeed appeared to be a magnanimous and positive man; perhaps Han Li always saw the world as sunny and optimistic.

"Either way, it’s getting late. Let’s head back first."

Although Tian Lin didn’t know Bai Ye well, he was someone who didn’t feel very secure and thought it’d be safer to go home early.

As the two descended the mountain, Han Li suddenly said to Tian Lin: "Don’t worry about what happened during the day, join me for Sand Washing tomorrow morning. Actually, as long as you don’t take too much, the others won’t say anything."

Too much? Regarding the Water Spirit Ore in the river sand, even if Tian Lin took it all, he would still find it too little.

When he reached the Grandmaster Realm and was confident to take on many opponents, that would be the time to go back and ’renegotiate’.

After all, he was in much need of Silver.

Without Silver, where to find the Grass God Fish and the Three-legged Toad?

"No need to persuade me about Sand Washing, Brother Han. If you truly want to help me, could you find out what kind of flesh this is?"

While speaking, Tian Lin took out the piece of fowl meat he had carved out from his bosom.

At this hour, shrouded in pitch darkness, even if there were lights atop some mountains, they couldn’t illuminate the slopes of Dao Seeking Mountain.

Han Li simply felt about and said, "This seems to be the wing of a bird, but the wings of birds I’ve seen all look the same; it’s impossible to tell exactly what bird this flesh belongs to."

Tian Lin said, "This was the food of the green-robed woman I encountered while ascending the mountain. I took the opportunity when she was away to sneakily carve off a small piece."

Upon hearing this, Han Li’s expression subtly changed, and he stopped walking, staring at Tian Lin, "In the worldly society, tampering with someone else’s food is a great taboo. Aren’t you afraid of being suspected of poisoning, Brother Tian?"

"As long as Big Brother Han doesn’t suspect me of intending to poison someone, then there’s nothing to worry about. Apart from you, I haven’t told anyone!"

The reason he confided in Han Li about ’stealing food’ was two-fold: firstly, to let Han Li know the origin of the food to aid in his investigation; secondly, to express the hope that Han Li would avoid alerting the green-robed woman during his inquiry.

He trusted Han Li’s character. Now that he was upfront, Han Li would proactively help him avoid risks during the investigation.

"I can help you with this, but such actions must not be repeated in the future."

After reprimanding him, Han Li asked with curiosity, "Does this bird have some special significance? Brother, why are you investigating it?"

Tian Lin replied, "This bird doesn’t seem like spirit meat, yet it has attracted the attention of Outer Disciples to all feast on it, so surely there must be something extraordinary about it."

Han Li found Tian Lin’s speculation somewhat far-fetched and ultimately said nothing.

He tucked the small piece of meat, still on the bone, into his bosom, saying, "Tomorrow morning, I will take it to Second Mother. She’s worked in the kitchen for so many years, and she knows all the chefs of the peaks well. Naturally, this little inquest of yours about the ’bird’ will hardly challenge her."

Both men returned to their room, neither speaking.

Early the next day, a group of servant disciples flung themselves towards the river to the sound of partridges, and Tian Lin, indeed, did not join them.

He went to the kitchen to get meals as usual, carrying his food container once again to Dao Seeking Mountain.

To his surprise, he encountered the green-robed woman at the mountain gate before anyone else.

She was still seated on her mat, holding a bowl in her hands.

Tian Lin glanced at the dish on her food container, but was disappointed to find that it was just an ordinary ’herb’.

Tian Lin was sure he hadn’t lingered too long with his gaze, yet from the corner of his eye, he noticed the woman frowning slightly.

Clearly, she not only realized Tian Lin’s arrival but also disliked being watched during her meal, or perhaps, even when not eating, she preferred not to have others by her side.

Tian Lin dared not disturb her, carrying his food container straight up the stone stairs.

This time, he went directly to the sixty-third level, and opened his food container at this spot, taking out the food, which had cooled a bit.

Just as he had barely started on a few bites, the figure of the green-robed woman appeared below.

Seeing her body move lightly, she had already reached the sixtieth step with one leap and bound.

Obviously, she too had spotted Tian Lin.

But after merely glancing at the food container in front of Tian Lin, she promptly leapt again until reaching the seventieth step.

Watching the green-robed woman disappear, Tian Lin shook his head, ate a few more bites, and then began to meditate.

The medicinal effects of the As You Wish Fan Flower had indeed diminished greatly, but Tian Lin’s digestive speed was faster than yesterday, and he had brought more food.

So, voraciously eating and ceaselessly cultivating, he finally finished digesting all the medicinal effects by the time the sky had completely darkened.

"How many steps can I take this time?"

Tian Lin pondered, gripping his knife and beginning to ascend step by step.

He discovered that the higher he went, the more difficult the path became.

When he reached the eighty-second layer, his face pallid, he finally stopped.

And at that moment, on the ninety-fifth step, four pairs of eyes all turned towards Tian Lin.

"Hmph, many Grandmaster Cultivation servant disciples have given up mountain climbing. Unexpectedly, this time a second-rate youngster has ascended to the eighty-second level."
