I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 58 - 53: You Wouldn’t Want a Heart Eaten by Thousands of Worms, Would You? (Please Follow)
Tian Lin was not given a chance to speak as Shisan Niang took the box from the maid’s hands.
She followed the routine and recorded Tian Lin’s place of origin, birth date, and his parents’ information in a register, before finally handing over three volumes to Tian Lin.
Among these three volumes, one was the "Five Elements Foundation Establishment Method," another was "General Skills."
The last volume, which was the "Bright Sun Finger" Cultivation Technique, cost Tian Lin a low-grade Spirit Stone to exchange from Elder Liu.
After Tian Lin received the three Cultivation Techniques, Shisan Niang stood up and took out a Fire Spirit Stone from her purse.
She said with a smile, "Since ancient times, it has been a joyous occasion for mortals to enter the realm of Qi Refinement. You have just started your cultivation, and you are in need of Spirit Stones; we ladies don’t have anything valuable to give, but fortunately, I have some spare Spirit Stones over the years. I’ll give them to you today."
Tian Lin hurriedly responded, "Spirit Stones are not common items, how can I accept such a gift? It would be better for Shisan Niang to keep the Spirit Stones for Young Master Shang."
Tian Lin had an awkward relationship with Young Master Shang, so he was unsure of Shisan Niang’s attitude towards him, thus he proactively ’threw’ Young Master Shang’s name into the conversation.
However, Shisan Niang’s smile remained undiminished, and she replied, "Your Big Brother Shang was injured a few years ago and now only has brute strength left. Nowadays, he spends his days hanging around with San Lang and has no use for the Fire Spirit Stone."
After finishing her words, she did not wait for Tian Lin to refuse and already placed the Fire Spirit Stone on the table before leaving.
Tian Lin watched her retreating figure with doubt. He had only seen Young Master Shang take action once.
That time was because he had killed Xiao Yue, and in a fit of rage, Young Master Shang injured him with a palm strike.
Back then, he could not even defeat Han Li. If Young Master Shang had really struck out in anger, how could he have withstood his palm?
Therefore, logically speaking, it’s quite possible that Young Master Shang was indeed left with only ’brute strength’.
But was this really the case?
Tian Lin left the room and squinted at Shisan Niang’s departing figure.
Her graceful gait, as delicate as a willow swaying in the wind, drew the silent attention of the Sand Washing men by the river.
The thoughts of everyone seemed to disappear along with the sound of the bells around her neck, into the shrubs on the hillside.
"This bell sound is indeed very similar to that of the dog’s bell from the mining tunnels."
Tian Lin returned to his room, and while eating, he opened "General Skills."
The so-called General Skills recorded common knowledge for cultivation as well as small spells like ’Fire-igniting Skill’ and ’Dust Removal Skill.’
After finishing the meal, Tian Lin also had a rough look through the book.
He set the General Skills aside, not in a hurry to examine the "Bright Sun Finger," but instead started meditating cross-legged while holding the ’antidote.’
By the time he had opened the second acupuncture point, it was already late afternoon with the setting sun. Zhao Si had been waiting outside with a food box for quite some time.
Upon seeing Tian Lin open the door, Zhao Si eagerly said, "Immortal Master Tian, the food in the box is still warm. When would you like to have your meal?"
Tian Lin took out a piece of Silver from his purse and stuffed it into Zhao Si’s hand, not waiting for him to refuse, Tian Lin said, "You’ve been running several trips just for my meals, haven’t you?"
Zhao Si hurriedly replied, "They are all trivial matters, and I have nothing else to do anyway. I was just waiting at the door, and when I guessed the food would get cold, I’d ask them to reheat it in the kitchen—nothing worth mentioning."
Tian Lin took the food box and asked him, "Has anyone been looking for me today?"
Zhao Si quickly replied, "I heard that the Second Steward’s servant inquired about your whereabouts, Immortal Master Tian, and in addition to that, people from halfway up the mountain came asking when you are moving to Jiran Inn."
"I am quite comfortable living here, so I’m not in a hurry to move."
"Does Immortal Master Tian need to go out? Would you like me to accompany you?"
"There’s no need for that. I’m going to the kitchen to ask for another bowl of Ghost Head Swallow and then head to Dao Seeking Mountain to practice."
Tian Lin finished speaking and left, leaving Zhao Si deep in thought.
After Tian Lin got two more dishes of Ghost Head Swallow from the kitchen, the Dao Bell of Dao Seeking Mountain rang out once again.
Now clad in a Daoist robe, anyone with discerning eyes could tell at a glance that he was an Outer Disciple. People busy with tasks at all the peaks respectfully cleared the way for him.
But when Tian Lin arrived at Dao Seeking Mountain, he found that the mountain gate was nearly packed with servant disciples.
Each one of these servant disciples carried a food box, chattering and creating quite a commotion.
The moment Tian Lin appeared, these disciples all respectfully stood aside, watching enviously as Tian Lin, carrying his food box, ascended the Immortal Ladder.
After Tian Lin disappeared from view, the servant disciples dared to whisper to each other: "See that? That’s Tian Lin of Lianshui Peak, the Immortal Master. He’s so young, yet he’s already become an Outer Disciple."
"It’s hateful that I actually believed people’s nonsense, thinking that climbing the Immortal Ascension Ladder to become an Outer Disciple was just a pipe dream. Because of that, I’ve wasted more than ten years. Otherwise, I would’ve become an Outer Disciple by now."
As they whispered among themselves, Tian Lin had reached the ninety-fifth stone step.
At this ninety-fifth step, there were only two servant disciples whom Tian Lin had never seen before, other than the old man Gou and Sister Zhu.
Old man Gou shared a smile with Tian Lin, and Tian Lin nodded to old man Gou, Sister Zhu, and Bai Ye.
He arrived at the first stone platform and thought for a moment before turning around to say to Bai Ye, "The final illusion, the one to confront, calls himself ’Immortal Master Zhou,’ a Qi Refiner."
Old man Gou and Bai Ye had actually heard this before, so even Sister Zhu wasn’t surprised.
Only those two new servant disciples changed complexion.
Tian Lin then said to Bai Ye, "To deal with Immortal Master Zhou, brute force probably won’t do. Unless one has a Magical Treasure."
Right after Tian Lin finished speaking, old man Gou below the steps couldn’t help pleading, "Immortal Master Tian, do you have any Magical Treasures you can lend me?"
Tian Lin glanced at old man Gou and said with a smile, "How precious are Magical Treasures? I am not an Inner Sect Disciple, so how would the sect bestow any upon me?"
He didn’t want to linger here any longer, so he picked up his food box and walked over to the desk on the platform.
He didn’t dare to climb the first stone step yet; his purpose of coming here was to seek peace and quiet in the coming days, to avoid being disturbed by the Second or Third Steward sending people to the mining school after him.
After all, he now had eleven Low Grade Spirit Stones in his possession.
Although due to certain reasons, these eleven Low Grade Spirit Stones prevented him from directly absorbing Spiritual Energy from them,
to others, these eleven Low Grade Spirit Stones were undeniably genuine and precious without any discount.
Thus, for the next half month, Tian Lin did not descend from Dao Seeking Mountain except to go to the kitchen to get foods like Grass God Fish and three-legged toads.

He refused to leave Dao Seeking Mountain, but eventually somebody couldn’t sit still anymore and actually sought him out there.
At that moment in the middle of the night, lonely and desolate, with no one around, Young Master Shang placed the felt mat from Tian Lin’s food box on the ground, and sat opposite Tian Lin, coldly sneering, "The Second and Third Stewards are going mad looking for you, yet you can sit so still."
In half a month’s time, Tian Lin had nearly lived each day as if it were two.
At this point, as long as he could open up one more acupoint, he would become a Qi Refiner of the first layer.
In addition to this, during the past half month, he was not only meditating for Qi Refinement but also consuming ’Ghost Head Swallows’ to cultivate Bright Sun Finger.
With the Minor Success Realm of his Bright Sun Finger coupled with True Qi from twenty-one acupoints, how would an ordinary Martial Artist be his opponent?
Remembering Thirteen Mother telling him that Young Master Shang had lost his cultivation, only retaining brute strength, Tian Lin looked at Young Master Shang with an eager glint in his eye.
"Why are you looking at me like that? You think that by becoming an Outer Disciple, you can be free from my control?"
Young Master Shang laughed, saying, "Don’t forget, the antidote for the Heartache Gu, due next month, is still in my hands. You wouldn’t want to die from being devoured by countless insects, would you?"
