For two consecutive days, Tian Lin, besides handing over the Water Spirit Ore to the young merchant master, mostly stayed on Dao Seeking Mountain.

Old Man Gou gave him a hundred Silvers, out of which Tian Lin spent over sixty to pay Bai Ye, who then exchanged them for a blade at Sword Peak.

The blade was crafted from the black sandstone of the Merchant’s fortress; its entire body was dark and gleaming, weighing over a hundred jin.

Although it wasn’t a Magical Treasure, coming from the hands of a Sword Peak forger, it was already a divine weapon among mortal iron.

With this blade, he finally had the confidence to reach the ninety-eighth step.

However, upon reaching the ninety-eighth step, he no longer dared to go further.

"How many people have died taking this last step, and how many have been baffled?"

Bai Ye stood beside Tian Lin, looking at the platform that was within an arm’s reach.

Just one more step, and he could reach that platform, walk to the desk in the middle of it, see what was written on the paper upon it, and become an Outer Disciples.

But it was this final step that turned many into dust and made many more hesitate out of fear, none daring to take it.

"Brother Tian, with your talent, I think it’s better to wait another month or two. By then, you should be able to ascend the final step safely!"

Behind him, Sister Zhu couldn’t resist advising.

Even Old Man Gou told Tian Lin, "Little Brother Tian, just wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer, ascend when you’re more confident."

Wait a bit longer? Wait until more confident?

Tian Lin swallowed hard, repeating Old Man Gou and Sister Zhu’s words: "Indeed, in less than half a month, I reached the ninety-eighth step. Give me three more days, and I’m certain I can successfully reach the top."

Bai Ye and the others said nothing, their looks at Tian Lin were filled with astonishment and admiration.

Because Tian Lin was so young, yet he had reached the Peak of Grandmaster in cultivation, a rare martial arts talent in centuries.

They had also explored Tian Lin’s cultivation method; after seeing the green-robed girl carrying the food box, they seemed to understand.

Thus, these two days, they copied Tian Lin, bringing food boxes to eat on the Immortal Ladder.

Though it looked funny, on the path of Seeking Immortality, did they care who laughed at them?

"Just wait a little longer, waiting two more days is safer."

Thinking this, Tian Lin indeed waited another two days.

But once the two days passed, although his cultivation seemed more refined, he still lacked the courage to move forward when looking at the stone steps before him.

"Actually, waiting another two days is even better!"

Sister Zhu advised Tian Lin, "Rushing isn’t necessary, what’s the difference between ascending today and the day after tomorrow?"

"That’s true, I’m not really in a rush."

Tian Lin also felt that Sister Zhu made sense, and he wasn’t in any hurry right now.

Moreover, new ingredients were coming the day after tomorrow, perhaps he could find ingredients that replenish Earth Spiritual Qi?

"Alright, then let’s wait until the day after tomorrow. I’ll go get some food from Sister Zhu to change my mood before ascending the steps."

Two days later, Tian Lin handed over the Water Spirit Ore to the young merchant master, who then said: "Starting tomorrow, you’ll pass the Water Spirit Ore to the Second Steward; stay by his side and do well, and I’ll arrange for you to become his personal guard."

A Qi Cultivation fourth-level needing a Grandmaster as a personal guard?

This statement was somewhat laughable, but Tian Lin asked, "What makes the Second Steward choose me as his personal guard? Won’t this raise his suspicions?"

"Just do as I say, and ask fewer questions," answered the young merchant master.

Tian Lin did not ask further and descended the mountain, directly going to Baihua Peak.

Baihua Peak was similar to Lianshui Peak; servant disciples lived at the foot of the mountain, Outer Disciples lived on the mid-slope, while the Daoist Temple of the elder was at the summit.

When Tian Lin arrived at the kitchen yard, it was a very busy time.

Sister Zhu took Tian Lin around the birdcage, different terms flashing before his eyes.

Listening to Sister Zhu, "These ingredients, some are sent from Medicine Peak, some from Ten Thousand Beast Peak, and some are tributes from families below today."

Tian Lin pointed at a stack of vegetables above the chicken coop and asked, "What are these vegetables?"

In his eyes, the words appeared, "Low-grade Black Spirit Rice, replenishes Water Spiritual Energy, has health benefits and can heal diseases, edible."

Tian Lin had heard of Spirit Rice and knew that it was a delicacy exclusively enjoyed by the Inner Sect Disciples.

"This is not any vegetable!"

Sister Zhu’s smile was slightly odd as she explained to Tian Lin, "This is the excrement of a Water Antelope. Since the Water Antelope is a spirit beast, its droppings can be used as manure."

Tian Lin forced a smile and said, "I was wondering why it looks exactly like the sheep droppings back in my hometown."

Sister Zhu, unsuspecting, pulled Tian Lin towards the bamboo forest, saying, "The Zhao family offered a beautiful item this time, and you are in luck—Green Dragon Fish, have you eaten it before?"

As she dragged Tian Lin out of the yard, he suddenly stopped and pointed at the turquoise eggs in the grass, asking, "What are those?"

"Those are messenger bird eggs, does Brother Tian fancy eating them?"

Yet, Tian Lin asked, "Sister Zhu, have you heard of the Earth Escape Skill?"

Looking at the eggs, the words displayed read:

"Earth Dragon Eggs: Contains a small amount of Earth Spiritual Qi, an excellent ingredient for cultivating the Earth Escape Skill, edible."

This was the first ingredient containing Earth Spiritual Qi that Tian Lin had seen on his trip, so he paid extra attention.

"Earth Escape Skill? It’s one of the top-tier spells of Yao Yue Sect. Once you become an Outer Disciple, you’ll have the chance to cultivate spells."

Sister Zhu, a naturally impatient woman, slightly annoyed by Tian Lin’s distractions and taking advantage of being a woman, which meant Tian Lin wouldn’t retaliate, finally dragged him to a pond behind the bamboo forest.

With a smug tone, she said, "See the fish in the water, you haven’t seen them outside, have you?"

Curiously, Tian Lin looked at the fishes in the pond that had snake-like bodies and scales, and couldn’t help saying, "So these are Green Dragon Fish?"

Sister Zhu laughed heartily, "Don’t they resemble a green dragon? I’ll tell you, although these fish don’t have much medicinal power, they’re even more expensive than Grass God Fish because of their delicious meat. They are so popular that even gastronomes love to eat them, making these fish rare in our Yao Yue Sect."

"Thunder Fish: Replenishes Thunder Spiritual Qi, favored by cultivators with Thunder Spirit Root, also necessary for cultivating Thunder Palm, edible."

"How much do these fish cost per piece?"

Sister Zhu replied, "Brother Tian has spoken, I must reserve one for you free of charge. But no more than that, the rest are for the elders, Inner Sect Disciples, and Outer Disciples to consume."

Tian Lin smiled and said, "I’m satisfied that Sister Zhu would reserve one for me, how dare I ask for more? But I still should pay for it."

Sister Zhu feigned anger and said, "What nonsense are you talking, do you think I lack that ten or so silver pieces? Just remember me when you make your fortune."

Before Tian Lin could respond, someone shouted from outside the bamboo forest, "Sister Zhu, the mountain goods from the Qian Family have arrived."

"Just put the mountain goods in the yard. I’ll check them later. Blind fools, don’t they see I’m entertaining guests?"

Someone from outside then said, "Sister Zhu, the Qian Family also brought a corpse to the sect, saying there’s a pass from our Yao Yue Sect on the body."

Sister Zhu paused, then walked briskly towards the outside of the bamboo forest.

Tian Lin followed, but his attention was drawn to several backpacks nearby.

His gaze stopped on a backpack with Horse Hoof Fruits, he picked one and rubbed off the dirt, happily saying, "Sister Zhu, I want to buy some of these fruits."

This was precisely the ingredient rich in Earth Spiritual Qi that Tian Lin was looking for, displayed as, "Earth Spirit Pill, an elixir used by cultivators with Earth Spirit Root, contains significant Earth Spiritual Qi, edible."

"That isn’t worth much, Brother Tian, feel free to take as many as you like!"

After Sister Zhu spoke, she lifted the straw mat on the ground, revealing a skeletal corpse underneath, and could not help cursing, "Damn it, who dug up this mummy and brought it to our kitchen yard? Isn’t this embarrassing? If someone didn’t know, they’d think we’re selling human meat here. Quickly take it away—"

Several servant disciples rewrapped the corpse and carried it away. But after only a few steps, they heard a ’clatter’, a wooden tablet and a knife dropped from the straw mat.

Tian Lin blocked the servant disciples’ path and bent down to pick up the knife and the wooden tablet from the ground.

The servant disciples chuckled, "That knife might be worth some money, but the pass is just a regular piece of wood, not worth much."

Tian Lin drew the knife and lifted a corner of the straw mat with it. Sister Zhu noticed Tian Lin’s unusual behavior and asked:

"Brother Tian, is there something wrong with this corpse?"

Tian Lin put down the straw mat and said, "This knife—I gave it to Brother Han."
