I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

Watching Tan Youqi leave, Cui'er finally couldn't help but say, "That man with the surname Tan, to think he's also an Inner Sect Disciple of the Shuiyun Sect. Now he's a Golden Core powerhouse, yet he's still so shameless.

If he weren't the master's guest, I really want to spit at him."

Tian Lin was somewhat speechless. He looked at the empty doorway and said, "Senior Brother Tan, do you find being a thief addictive?"

Sure enough, at the door, Tan Youqi's figure appeared once again.

He was removing his cloak, looking at Tian Lin with admiration:

"Junior Brother Tian, you truly have sharp senses. I initially did not believe that my Dao Artifact could be seen through by your naked eye and senses. Yet, daring to test it boldly now, it was indeed cracked by you."

Tian Lin replied with a dark expression, "Senior Brother Tan has tested it now, can you leave?"

Tan Youqi, unfazed, clasped his hands and said, "Junior Brother Tian, we shall meet again."

After speaking, he once again pulled his cloak away as he left.

Cui'er, furious, said, "He doesn't doubt that the master can see through his cloak. He clearly suspects the master doesn't want to reveal the secret of the ancient tomb to him, so he came back to eavesdrop."

"Cui'er!" Yu'er frowned, her gaze directed at the empty doorway, fearing Tan Youqi might return to eavesdrop again.

Fortunately, Tian Lin shook his head and said, "This time he's really gone, you don't have to worry anymore."

By this time, it was already very late, and the lights in the countryside were all extinguished.

This quiet and dark mountain seemed very peaceful at the moment, but it gave Tian Lin a feeling of impending storm.

"Tomorrow, Yu'er, you should visit each village and tell the villagers not to come to the Tian Family's estate for a while."

Yu'er, who was about to close the door, was stunned, then heard Tian Lin instructing, "Tomorrow, Cui'er, you should go to the city with your sister to buy some tea for guests. I foresee that in the coming days, many sect elders will be appearing here."

Yu'er finally understood why Tian Lin wanted her to inform the villagers not to visit the Tian Family estate unnecessarily.

Although it's said that cultivators are not much different from humans, the status between cultivators and mortals is truly incomparable.

In the eyes of cultivators, mortals are little more than ants. On Tian Lin's territory, he might be able to stop a Golden Core Cultivator from harming mortals.

But if it's a Nascent Soul Cultivator, all Tian Lin can do is not assist them in killing mortals, beyond that, he can do nothing.

"Master, shouldn't we return to the sect?"

Yu'er felt that Beiyed County was a place of trouble; once outsiders arrived here, the sect elders might not give face to Tian Lin, a true disciple of the Wenda Sect.

By then, if the elders truly saw Tian Lin as an accomplice of Shang Yu, without the protection of the Wenda Sect, Tian Lin could be in danger.

"Returning to the Wenda Sect would only make others think I've done something guilty. Moreover, since Mei Xianfu is in Beiyed County, I doubt her deeply caring grandfather would leave her unattended!"

In fact, not only has Elder Mei come to Beiyed County, but Elder Xue from the Wenda Sect has also arrived.

The two elders arrived at Tian Lin's estate right while he was tending to the spirit field.

Tian Lin's spirit field was unlike anywhere else; while snow was falling heavily elsewhere,

at his spirit field, there stood a makeshift iron shelter.

Outside the iron shelter was snow-covered, but inside, it was warm as spring.

Upon entering, Elder Mei immediately sensed the presence of Daoist Skill within the shelter.

"Is this your Seasonal Dao?"

Looking at the Spirit Rice sprouting new shoots in the field, Elder Mei asked Tian Lin, "How many seasonal rituals have you cultivated now?"

There are twenty-four seasons, but no one spends the time to cultivate all twenty-four.

After all, the twenty-four seasons correspond to twenty-four Dao Seeds.

In the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul Realm, cultivating twenty-four Dao Seeds is already challenging. And to refine all twenty-four into Dao Fruits, the time and effort spent would be enough to practice other great Daos.

The saying "a bird in hand is worth two in the bush" cautions against greed rendering one unable to handle everything, which was what Elder Mei feared for Tian Lin.

"Disciple has now cultivated twenty-four Dao Seeds and yet does not know how long it will take for the first one to bear fruit."

Hearing Tian Lin, Elder Mei said with some surprise, "I remember last time at the Wenda Sect, you said you had only cultivated a few Seasonal Dao. Where did you acquire the remaining Seasonal Doas?

"Some were self-understood, others were acquired from elsewhere."

Tian Lin lied, quickly changing the subject, asking Elder Mei, "Did you come to see Senior Sister Mei? She's currently staying with the Su family; if you want to find her, you'll likely have to visit the Su family."

"I just came from the Su family, and it's packed with people. I got tired of socializing there, so I decided to come and see you."

He continued, "I heard from Shuiyun Sect's Tan Youqi and Xian'er that you weren't participating in this tomb contest?"

Seeing Tian Lin nod, Elder Mei, after confirming the news, did not say more, instead asking, "I also heard you're in cahoots with Shang Yu?"

Tian Lin laughed and said, "That's a lie spread by Elder Qiu of the Goddess Sect! Because of her, all sect disciples with her died at the hands of Shang Yu. Aware that she cannot bear the responsibility, she wants to use me as a scapegoat."

Elder Mei replied, "I will get to the bottom of this, since I came to Beiyed County precisely to deal with this matter."

But truly, it was not only to deal with this matter but also because Mei Xianfu was here and it involved Tian Lin, hence traveling from afar.

It's quite unfortunate for Elder Qiu too!

Her support wouldn't come to Beiyed County but went to Cangzhou for greater opportunities.

The Yunding Public Tomb in Beiyed County is decent, yet only Golden Core cultivators are allowed in the tomb. Nascent Soul cultivators coming here is simply a waste of time.

And as for the so-called Immortal Sword, it requires one who practices the Five Killings Skill to wield it, considered extremely impractical.

While sect elders have interest in the Immortal Sword, compared to chances in Cangzhou, the Immortal Sword doesn't hold much attraction for them.

"Elder Qiu's matter is minor; currently, I'm more concerned about Shang Yu. He's an enemy of mine, now with the Immortal Sword in his hand. If I face him, I fear I won't be able to fight back."

"I have convened Elder Xue and other sect elders; even if we can't kill Shang Yu, we won't allow him to wreak havoc in Beiyed County."

With such words from Elder Mei, Tian Lin was finally relieved.

"In a few days, the Yunding Public Tomb will open; if you wish to explore it, you can go with me to the Su family now. You and Xian'er can look out for each other, which should not pose much danger."

Tian Lin shook his head again and said, "Disciple has little interest in the Daoist inheritance of Yunding Public, focusing on cultivating my own Seasonal Dao is more pressing."

"That's sensible! The Dao Seeds you hold are already plentiful; seeking more might end up being counterproductive."
