I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"Brother Gou, how do you injure people with your voice?"

Tian Lin stood on the ninety-first stone step, looking at the Daoist Child sprawled on the bed.

The Daoist Child, squinting and without lifting his head, said:

"That's my Innate Divine Ability. If you want to learn it, I'm not opposed to teaching you. It's just that I want to eat bones now, so you'll have to cook tonight's meal."

It wasn't a difficult task, Tian Lin discovered that ever since he entered through this gate, the Daoist Child had been easy to coax.

"Brother Gou, that collar of yours, what kind of Magical Treasure is it?"

Tian Lin continued to ask. The Daoist Child, still lying on the bed, answered lazily, "That is my Innate Magical Treasure, given to me by the old master, and that I cannot give to you."

"What are Innate Divine Abilities and Innate Magical Treasures?"

"Innate Divine Abilities are divine skills that one is born with, which aside from a few geniuses, most people will not possess.

And Innate Magical Treasures are objects that grow stronger with the owner's cultivation. Just like those Sword Cultivators, who focus solely on their swords throughout their lives. Replacing True Qi with Sword Qi, they roam the universe with just a sword."

During dinner, after the Daoist Child was full, he taught Tian Lin his Innate Divine Ability, the Heavenly Roar Skill.

But Tian Lin frowned upon reading it; why did it say that only dogs could cultivate the Heavenly Roar Skill?

He pondered for a moment, then looked towards the Daoist Child lying on the bed patting his belly contentedly.

Could it be?

He could hardly believe that the Daoist Child in front of him might actually be a dog!

Tian Lin had never seen a demon transformed into a human; initially, he never associated the Daoist Child with the identity of a monster.

But on reflection, Elder Yu, who took disciples, cared least about their backgrounds.

Therefore, if the Daoist Child was a demon, it made perfect sense.

"Why are you staring at me?"

The Daoist Child's ears twitched, his eyes squinting contentedly, "The bone soup you simmered has a unique flavor, why have I never tasted it before?"

Tian Lin opened his mouth but swallowed back the words 'dog meat'.

"Perhaps it's because I added some different ingredients to the soup."

The Daoist Child, hearing this, said, "Good, from now on you cook for me, I guarantee you can join the Wendaos Sect."

Hearing this, Tian Lin felt complicated inside; he guessed that the ancestor of the Yao Yue Sect must have encountered such a noble person as the Daoist Child, hence joining the Yao Yue Sect.

But the ancestor's method of pleasing the Daoist Child was hardly honorable.

In the middle of the night, seeing that almost 24 hours had passed, Tian Lin simply didn't wait for the Daoist Child to wake up and beheaded him to exit the illusion.

When Tian Lin first stepped out of the illusion, he heard someone calling him from the second tier platform.

He descended the stone steps and looked towards the unfamiliar red-robed cultivator at the second tier platform.

The red-robed cultivator greeted Tian Lin, "Brother Tian, the Breath Holding Pill you requested has been delivered to you."

Tian Lin stepped forward to receive a large bundle, then took out a water Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag, "Please thank Brother Wang for me."

The red-robed cultivator laughed, "I should actually thank Brother Tian on behalf of Brother Wang—, although it's troublesome to refine the Breath Holding Pill, it's not very useful. Brother Tian, you are willing to purchase with Spirit Stones, which indeed greatly benefits Brother Wang."

Tian Lin exchanged pleasantries with the red-robed cultivator and watched him descend the mountain before taking out a Breath Holding Pill from the cloth bag.

According to the item description, this was indeed a 'Disguise Pill'.

Tian Lin thought about it, put the pill in his mouth, and threw the other Elixirs into the Storage Bag.

"The size of this Breath Holding Pill differs from what I saw in the illusion, but the effect is the same."

Tian Lin checked himself in a copper mirror, watching his face transform and nodded in satisfaction.

He himself did not know how to practice Alchemy and found it time-consuming, so he had given the formula to the disciples of Medicine Peak to refine a bag of Breath Holding Pills.

"Who are you? Where is Brother Tian?"

Just as Tian Lin was putting away the copper mirror, he saw Xiao Hong climbing the steps and then frowning at him.

Realizing that his appearance had changed, thus Xiao Hong did not recognize him.

Tian Lin dared not reveal anything about the Disguise Pill. When Xiao Hong asked, he immediately said, "I also came looking for Brother Tian, but it seems he isn't here."

Xiao Hong frowned, "What do you need him for?"

Tian Lin said, "Brother Tian had requested a batch of Breath Holding Pills on Medicine Peak, and the Elixirs are now ready; I came to deliver them."

Xiao Hong nodded and went upstairs to look for Tian Lin.

Seeing this, Tian Lin hurriedly asked Xiao Hong, "Sister Xiao, what do you need from Brother Tian? Since I'm also waiting here for Brother Tian, let me pass along any message for you."

Xiao Hong gave Tian Lin a glance but did not pay attention to this unfamiliar junior.

Seeing this, Tian Lin closed his mouth.

He hesitated for a moment, feeling his current appearance was rather conspicuous on Dao Seeking Mountain.

Besides 'Tian Lin', usually, only Elder Xiao was seen widely gathering bark across the mountain.

Even if one or two disciples climbed the mountain, they were only looking for 'Tian Lin'.

Given how unusual it felt for him to stay here now, Tian Lin decided to leave the mountain.

He had spent most of his time in the Yao Yue Sect residing on Dao Seeking Mountain and rarely rested.

This venture down the mountain offered a rare chance to appreciate the scenery of various peaks of Yao Yue Sect.

The next morning, Tian Lin waited behind Lianshui Peak for the effects of the Disguise Pill to dissipate, and recalled the 'Heavenly Roar Skill' that Daoist Child Gou had taught him.

However, the Heavenly Roar Skill seemed to only be cultivatable by canine species, and Tian Lin couldn't grasp the technique at all.

He 'woofed' for a long time until a voice sounded from behind him: "Your spell is somewhat similar to that of an old friend of mine."

Tian Lin frowned; he had come to the back mountain to practice this Cultivation Technique, fearing that someone would hear him and he would make a fool of himself.

"May I ask who— who are you—"

Tian Lin turned around, facing a fair-faced young man in white, his expression immediately changing.

The young man in white squinted, looking at Tian Lin and said, "Are you very afraid of me?"

Tian Lin quickly bowed his head, seizing the opportunity to conceal the panic in his eyes.

He greeted the young man in white respectfully: "Disciple has seen Brother Xing."

The newcomer was Xing Shanping, accompanied by an old man.

Tian Lin recognized the old man; he was the Great Elder of the Heart Inquiry Sect.

"Your heartbeat is very fierce, why are you so afraid of me?"

Xing Shanping stepped forward, lifting Tian Lin's chin, forcing him to look directly at him.

"In our Yao Yue Sect, there are not many people who aren't afraid of Brother Xing."

Tian Lin forced a smile, no longer hiding his fear.

At this moment, the Great Elder following Xing Shanping snorted coldly: "This Yao Yue Sect harbors filth; now it's all filled with evil cultivators who cultivate Blood True Qi. Seeing the Sect Master Xing, it would be strange if they aren't afraid."

The Great Elder was indeed right; along the way, he encountered Yao Yue Sect disciples who consumed Blood Pills.

Zhou Qing, the ancestor of the Zhou Family, had died at the hands of Blood Sect Devotees, the Great Elder harbored deep-seated hatred for them.

Due to issues involving the Blood Sect Devotees, Xing Shanping had fallen out with Xing Tongtian, a matter well-known throughout Yao Yue Sect.

Besides, disciples of Yao Yue Sect knew that Xing Shanping hated evil, and adhered rigidly to the sect rules; who wouldn't be afraid of encountering Xing Shanping?

"That makes sense—however, there are people in Yao Yue Sect who do not cultivate Blood True Qi but are still afraid of seeing me."

Xing Shanping bypassed Tian Lin and then spoke to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder frowned and said, "Is Sect Master referring to that Tian Lin?"

Xing Shanping did not respond to the Great Elder, instead turning his gaze back to Tian Lin: "Do you know Tian Lin? I heard he is a disciple of Lianshui Peak, but I searched throughout Lianshui Peak and didn't see him."

Tian Lin quickly said: "Brother Tian usually cultivates at Dao Seeking Mountain and rarely stays at Lianshui Peak. Perhaps, he is in the illusion at Dao Seeking Mountain?"

Xing Shanping shook his head: "He is not on Dao Seeking Mountain, I can sense that he is nearby."

Tian Lin's heart chilled, and he hastily asked Xing Shanping: "Brother Xing is looking for Brother Tian for something? Otherwise, I can wait at Brother Tian's residence for him to return, and then relay your message?"

Xing Shanping smiled, saying: "He owes me a few things, I came to collect them."

It was then the Great Elder spoke up from behind Xing Shanping:

"Sect Master, you haven't told me what exactly you want from Tian Lin during this journey. In my opinion, if the items are not very important, let other sect disciples retrieve them for you. Why bother yourself staying in this foul place?"

Xing Shanping hesitated a bit, saying: "Speaking of which, I too wish to ascend Dao Seeking Mountain."

Then he turned around, handing a Storage Bag to Tian Lin: "You keep watch here at Lianshui Peak for me, and once you see Tian Lin, tell him this contains the Spirit Pearls he wanted."

Using a Storage Bag for Spirit Pearls?

Tian Lin's heart skipped a beat; how many Spirit Pearls could that be?

He did not dare to speak out of turn, hurriedly taking the Storage Bag: "Rest assured, Brother Xing, I will personally hand the Storage Bag to Brother Tian."

The Great Elder again expressed displeasure: "Although Spirit Pearls aren't very valuable, Sect Master, you shouldn't favor that Tian Lin so; besides, that disciple Zhao Bei only gave you so little Spirit Stone, it doesn't merit so many Spirit Pearls."

Tian Lin then realized, Xing Shanping was invited by Zhao Bei.

He had sent a letter to Zhao Bei to hurry about the Spirit Pearls, waiting for Zhao Bei's reply to personally collect from him.

But perhaps Zhao Bei, not wanting Tian Lin to make the trip, opportunistically asked Xing Shanping, who was visiting Yao Yue Sect, to bring them.

In Zhao Bei's view, as Sect Master of Heart Inquiry Sect, Xing Shanping was a valuable connection. Thus, letting Xing Shanping find him probably also meant fostering a closer relationship.

And many disciples of Yao Yue Sect knew that, although Tian Lin and Xing Shanping were not close friends, they had shared life-and-death experiences. So, it was reasonable and appropriate for Zhao Bei to ask Xing Shanping to deliver Spirit Pearls to him.

At this moment, Tian Lin was so moved that he almost cried.

Holding the weighty bag, he watched as Xing Shanping and the Great Elder descended the mountain.

Then he himself hurried towards Jiran Inn, his mind in turmoil.

"The Great Elder of Heart Inquiry Sect is formidable; although Xing Shanping seems only to be at the twelfth-tier of Qi Refining, he's a reincarnated Golden Core monster, his strength probably unfathomable.

He knows I'm at Lianshui Peak; is it due to eyeballs? No, the eyeballs I ate, even if turned to feces, ended up at Heart Inquiry Sect. He must sense me because of that token."

"What to do? Seek Elder Xiao?"

Tian Lin suddenly recalled yesterday's visit by Xiao Hong to the mountain; perhaps at that time, Xiao Hong came up the mountain to notify Tian Lin to prepare for Xing Shanping's arrival.

"I can't go to Baihua Peak now; aside from exposing myself, it would also bring trouble to Elder Xiao—

Elder Xiao has helped me a lot, I might not repay him with my life, but I shouldn't recklessly pull him into this."

Tian Lin hardened his heart, grabbing another Disguise Pill and placed it in his mouth.

Since he had promised Xing Shanping to wait outside Jiran Inn for 'Tian Lin' to return, he would honestly play the role, never giving away any clue.
