I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

The Five Elements Foundation Establishment Pool is not used to open acupoints but to transform the twelve meridians completely into 'Golden Spirit Veins'.

To turn the twelve meridians into Golden Spirit Veins, Tian Lin practiced in the Immortal Sinking Pond for nearly a month.

Zhao Bei, Tian Lin's fellow disciple who had diarrhea, left the next day. He had to return to report back to Elder Xiao to prevent Elder Xiao from thinking that Tian Lin had defected from the Yao Yue Sect with him.

In a month's time, Tian Lin had no idea how much of the Earth Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool he had absorbed.

His consumption was certainly not small, but compared to the mildly poisonous expanse of sea water, what Tian Lin absorbed was merely a drop in the ocean.

Before Tian Lin could return to the sect, Zhao Bei came back to the Immortal Sinking Pond first.

Looking at Tian Lin, he happily said:

"Senior brother, you don't need to rush back to the sect. Our Yao Yue Sect is going to establish another Daoist site in Quzhou."

Tian Lin was somewhat surprised, not by the establishment of a Daoist site in Quzhou by the Yao Yue Sect, but by Xing Tongtian's swift and bold move.

"Quzhou has the most Blood Sect Devotees, and their bodies are more suitable for Alchemy than ordinary cultivators. It's inevitable that Sect Leader Xing wants the sect to grow and have a continuous supply of Blood Pills."

After speaking, Tian Lin frowned and said:

"However, Quzhou has been under Xue En's control for so long, and our Yao Yue Sect is an outsider; I'm afraid it won't be easy to take root in Quzhou."

"It turns out that Xun, the Sect Master of the Bai Sheng Sect, helped us greatly. He fought with Xue En, and Xue En was seriously injured—

Now, Sect Leader Xing, along with several elders, came back to Quzhou. Joining forces with the elders from the Artifact Sect, Xue En and his subordinates could only flee."

Tian Lin was not as excited as Zhao Bei and asked him:

"Quzhou is under the Artifact Sect's jurisdiction. Will they consent to our Yao Yue Sect establishing a Daoist site here?"

"Senior brother, don't worry, the leaders of both sects have already struck a deal. This stronghold of the Blood Sect will become the Yao Yue Sect's Daoist site, and the territories to the south of Quzhou will remain under the Artifact Sect."

Zhao Bei said, "Our sect is now in urgent need of managing various counties by sect disciples. Senior brother, do you wish to be a county master?"

The Yao Yue Sect sends out disciples once every fifteen to twenty years, and Zhao Bei was not far from becoming one.

Now, as he had no hope of Foundation Establishment, his mind was no longer on cultivation.

And as a county master, with his identity as a Yao Yue Sect disciple, he would naturally be an uncontrollable local emperor outside the court's reach.

"The Peak Master and Sister Xiao Hong have also come to Quzhou?"

Tian Lin wasn't quick to answer Zhao Bei but asked another question.

Zhao Bei shook his head:

"The Peak Master is not fond of traveling. He said he would stay by Baihua Peak and would not come to Quzhou in the future."

Tian Lin then said:

"I don't like Quzhou either, so it's better for me to go back to the sect."

Now that he had found the way of Five Elements Foundation Establishment, why would he want to stay in Quzhou?

Zhao Bei wanted to persuade him further, but Tian Lin said with a smile:

"You and I have different ambitions; I am solely devoted to Seeking Immortality, and the establishment of a Daoist site by the Yao Yue Sect in Quzhou will inevitably entail busy affairs.

I'm someone who dislikes trouble, so it's better for me not to stay in Quzhou."

Zhao Bei, feeling regretful, candidly said:

"If senior brother were here, with us supporting each other, perhaps we could even rebuild a sect family."

Tian Lin had no interest in establishing a sect family. He said:

"If junior brother intends to stay in Quzhou, please keep an eye out for Spirit Pearls for me in the future.

Whenever you need any Spirit Stones, send me a letter, and I will personally deliver them to you."

Zhao Bei nodded:

"I know senior brother's taste is different from others. When the time comes, I will rebuild the Zhao family's Horse Gang to help you collect delicacies from all over the world."

After the two dined in a tavern in Quzhou, Tian Lin, uninterested in the new Daoist site of the Yao Yue Sect, took the Flying Boat alone back to Yingzhou.

Xing Tongtian's establishment of a new Daoist site in Quzhou almost took all the disciples from the Yao Yue Sect in Yingzhou.

Upon Tian Lin's return to Baihua Peak, he unexpectedly saw not only Elder Xiao but also Xun, the Sect Master of the Bai Sheng Sect.

He went to fetch a stool for Tian Lin while the two of them were exchanging courtesies.

Over there, Sect Master Xun looked at Tian Lin and asked Elder Xiao with a smile, "Is this Junior Brother Liu's disciple? Despite his young age, he already possesses the cultivation of the twelfth-tier Qi Refining. I don't think he's any worse than that Xing Shanping."

Elder Xiao snorted coldly and said: "I don't know what his master is thinking, leaving him here alone while taking Xing Shanping away."

After saying this, he suddenly turned to Tian Lin and asked, "I asked you to bring Han Yue back, why did you let her go?"

Tian Lin said, "With the death of Zhong Wujie, Sister Han has also lost her heart. I think she won't come out to harm people anymore."

Elder Xiao said, "Had you brought her back to the sect, she might still have had a chance to live. If you do not bring her back, with her stubborn nature, I'm afraid she'd find no taste in living and would follow in the footsteps of her senior brother."

Tian Lin then said, "For Sister Han, that might be a relief. And for those who were killed by her, it could be seen as a form of release as well."

Meanwhile, Xiao Hong brought some tableware out of the house for Tian Lin, and Elder Xiao closed his mouth, ceasing to bring up Han Yue.

Tian Lin sat at the table and glanced at the food on the stone table.

Elder Xiao sneered, "It's well known that you are a gourmand, never stopping your mouth even while cultivating—But now, the food of the Yao Yue Sect will likely no longer suit your palate."

Xing Tongtian had conducted a 'big move' for the Yao Yue Sect, taking not only most of the kitchen staff but also many exotic beasts and oddities from the Ten Thousand Beast Peak.

For Tian Lin, wanting to eat roasted bird eggs, Grass God Fish, and the Three-Legged Toads would now prove exceedingly difficult.

Fortunately, Tian Lin no longer needed these things now. He picked up a Mao'er Root with his chopsticks and said, "Although this disciple enjoys eating, he is not picky."

Elder Xiao then asked him, "What plans do you have for the future? I had Zhao Bei leave you in Quzhou, why did you come back? Now that you are an Inner Sect Disciple, there's no need for you to climb Dao Seeking Mountain anymore, and you should plan for your path to Foundation Establishment."

Tian Lin knew Elder Xiao was somewhat conflicted now.

On one hand, Elder Xiao detested cultivators of the Blood Sect who practiced Blood True Qi, and had even quarreled with Xing Tongtian over this.

But on the other hand, the path to Foundation Establishment was now severed.

It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to establish their foundation without cultivating Blood True Qi.

Elder Xiao felt it was too much of a pity if Tian Lin's talent were to be halted at the twelfth-tier Qi Refining.

"The disciple is still young and is not in a rush concerning Foundation Establishment. Climbing the mountain, however, could give me more experience in life-and-death fights, so I plan to seclude myself and climb the mountain next."

Elder Xiao laughed out of exasperation, both pleased and displeased.

He did not urge any further, and Sect Master Xun, sitting beside him, looked at Tian Lin with admiration and then heaved a sigh, saying,

"Xue En was also an exceptional talent. If he had been the Sect Leader of Yao Yue Sect, who knows what the Yulong Continent would be like today."

Elder Xiao shook his head, "Xue En was able to become an Outer Disciple from a servant disciple through climbing Dao Seeking Mountain; his talent is naturally remarkable. However, after all, he was not an Inner Sect Disciple.

Even if Xing Tongtian couldn't become the Sect Leader, it should have been Liu Xuanfeng's position, it would not be Xue En's turn."

"And moreover, even if he had become the Sect Leader, he would not have been able to change the current situation of resource exhaustion. The journey to Golden Core still relies on cultivating Blood True Qi."

After Elder Xiao finished speaking, Sect Master Xun suddenly asked: "I wonder what exactly Junior Brother Liu intends to do?"

Elder Xiao shook his head and said, "I really don't know what he's planning. He's been living in a drunken stupor in the sect for decades, and I thought he had given up on the Golden Core path.

Unexpectedly, the moment Xing Tongtian made a move, he took his little Daoist child and his beautiful concubine and ran off.

If that was all, it would be fine, but I don't understand why he came back for Xing Shanping."

Sect Master Xun then said: "I happen to know a bit about that—After I fought with Xue En, I went to visit the Heart Inquiry Sect. I heard from Sect Leader Zhou of Heart Inquiry Sect that Xing Shanping was chosen by Junior Brother Liu himself."

Tian Lin, who had been eating all the while, still did not speak. He was a bit sensitive to the term 'chosen one'.

Sure enough, Elder Xiao looked at Tian Lin and then turned to Sect Master Xun:

"I remember the Heart Inquiry Stone of the Heart Inquiry Sect is broken, right? Xing Shanping, worthy of being the chosen one of the Heart Inquiry Sect?"
