I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 246 - 210: To the North Wilderness
Shuiyun Sect lured the charming young men of Pingyang City to Immortal Sinking Pond, promising them something, only to trick them into killing evil spirits for them.
In the end, under another guise, not only did they deceive these young men out of their Soul Collecting Pearls, they even compelled them to guard Pingyang City.
Tian Lin asked himself, if he were not Disciple of Elder Yu,
if he didn't have the way out that is Wendaos Sect, he probably would have ended up like those charming young men—desperate to become servant disciples of Shuiyun Sect, only to be played with in the end.
After a few idle cups of tea, Young Master Tan left for the county government to visit his elders, taking his sword holder with him, away from the inn.
Tian Lin and his two servants needed to wait here for Mei Immortal, so they continued to stay in the inn.
Entering his room, Tian Lin leaned on the railing, looking at the street performers below.
Even though he was in the inn, he could still hear some idle chit-chat from the street. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Undoubtedly, now in Tianbei County, what drew the most attention were the evil spirit of Pingyang City and the downfall of the Tong Family.
The Tong Family was nothing special in the whole of Cangzhou, and even in Tianbei County, they were just an ordinary Golden Core family.
However, Tong Yao was quite famous; she was beautiul and had the status of an Outer Disciple of Shuiyun Sect.
A romantic novel with Tong Yao as the heroine sold very well in secret.
Qi Refiners in Tianbei County might not know which Nascent Soul Elders existed in Shuiyun Sect, nor which Inner Sect Disciple or Outer Disciple was the strongest.
But they surely knew that Tong Yao was very beautiful—
Besides Tong Yao, people also talked about Zhai Xingzi, Young Master Tan, Jian Jue, and Mei Immortal.
But what Tian Lin heard was that not much was spoken of Zhai Xingzi and Young Master Tan; more were discussing Mei Immortal, also dubbed "Little Tong Yao."
According to those idle talkers, it was very likely that novels about Mei Immortal would appear before long.
By night, not long after Young Master Tan returned to the inn with his sword holder, Mei Immortal had already appeared in the inn.
Without Elder Qiu accompanying her, she entered the inn and directly demanded of Young Master Tan, "Where's Zhai Xingzi?"
"I went to the officials in Wind City and asked the sect elders; Brother Zhai Xingzi visited this elder a few days ago. According to him, he will probably be going to the Goddess Sect to settle some grudges."
Upon hearing this, Mei Immortal burst into a fury: "He still has the face and guts to go to my Goddess Sect? Doesn't he know what he has done to my sister?"
Young Master Tan remained silent, clearly unable to empathize with Mei Immortal's situation.
He was not particularly interested in Zhai Xingzi, nor did he care about the current condition of Mei Immortal's sister.
But seeing Mei Immortal about to leave the inn immediately, he hastily said:
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, Immortal. Even if you go back now, you won't catch Zhai Xingzi. Why not stay here and help me deal with Xing Bufan together? This guy must be the reincarnation of a Golden Core cultivator; otherwise, he wouldn't be capable of body seizing Sister Tong."
"You also know he's the reincarnation of a Golden Core? Even if he has just seized the body and the flesh and Divine Soul are not fully integrated yet, he's not someone we can deal with.
I should advise you, even if you're impatient to become an Inner Sect Disciple, don't rush into danger."
Young Master Tan probably knew he couldn't persuade Mei Immortal, so he didn't linger on this topic.
Only then did Mei Immortal turn to Tian Lin and said, "Aren't you going back to the North Wilderness? I also have to use the Transmission Array to return to the Goddess Sect, let's go together right now."
Tian Lin bid farewell to Young Master Tan with a cupped fist salute, and the group of four set off for the official post station of the County.
Mei Immortal took out her Identity Token, and the Posthouse Governor decisively opened the Transmission room.
Inside the stone room, a huge stone platform emerged.
After Tian Lin and his servants stepped onto the platform, Mei Immortal finally asked Tian Lin, "Now, can you tell me what you're going to the North Wilderness for?"
Tian Lin felt it was time to tell some truth, but he didn't want to reveal his relationship with Elder Yu to Mei Immortal.
"It's difficult to enter Shuiyun Sect, and Goddess Sect only recruits female disciples. I wish to try my luck in the North Wilderness to see if I can join Wendaos Sect."
"Wendaos Sect? Whether you can join Wendaos Sect will depend on your fate."
Mei Immortal didn't waste more words and instructed the Posthouse Governor to place a Transmission Stone on the Transmission Array.
Tian Lin only felt the world spin, and soon he and his servants found themselves in a vast void.
Within this void, not only were there stars speckled throughout, but there were also a plethora of meteor fragments.
These meteors, both large and small, streaked past him like shooting stars, or smashed into his body, then strangely passing right through.
In a flash, Tian Lin understood that this void truly existed.
But for some reason, even though he was in this void, he could not touch anything in it.
Soon, Yu'er tugged at Tian Lin's sleeve.
Following his gaze into the distance, Tian Lin saw a man with numerous eyes on his face, holding a trident, scrutinizing his surroundings.
Wherever the man's gaze landed, countless meteors were shattered to pieces by the purple light shooting from his eyes.
Apart from this man, Tian Lin also saw many roaming souls and evil spirits in the void.
What kind of place was this?
He heard what seemed to be chanting voices in the void, and perhaps also demonic whispers.
But what caused Tian Lin's complexion to slightly change was a female voice from the void asking him: "Didn't I tell you to go home? Why have you come out to seek immortality again?"
"Who is speaking?"
Tian Lin asked this of the Yu'er sisters, but they looked back at him in utter bewilderment.
At that moment, suddenly a white light flashed, and when Tian Lin and the three opened their eyes again, they were already inside a stone room.
Below the stone room, a Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in the official attire of a Posthouse Governor looked at the three people on the stone platform and asked: "Where do you three come from? Do you have an Identity Token or a travel pass?"
Tian Lin had been given an Identity Token by the Tong Family when he was in Pingyang City.
After seeing the Identity Token, the Posthouse Governor did not trouble Tian Lin and directly let him out of the post station.
It was still night where Tianbei County was located, but here in the North Wilderness, it was still daytime.
Gazing at the birds shuttling ceaselessly in the high sky, listening to the endless bustling noise on the streets, Tian Lin was still immersed in the question he had heard in the void during the transmission.
He asked Yu'er and Cui'er again: "During the transmission just now, did you hear the voice of a woman speaking?"
Yu'er said with some concern: "I've heard that the place one passes through during transmission is the Land of Immortal Rejection, inhabited by ancient spirits—should one be careless, a traveler might be seduced by the Residual Souls within the Land of Immortal Rejection, my lord?"
Tian Lin said: "Could it be that I was just overthinking it? But that voice, I keep feeling there's something familiar about it—yet I truly can't remember where I've heard that voice."
Cui'er bluntly said: "You don't need to trouble yourself with such thoughts, Lord. Better think about how we can join the Wendaos Sect. I think what Mei Immortal said wasn't wrong, it might not be easy to enter the Wendaos Sect."
Tian Lin finally gathered his spirits and did not dwell on the voice in the void anymore.
"This here is Wind City, and it's not far from the Wendaos Sect. Since it's still early, we can make our way to the Wendaos Sect as soon as possible."
But Cui'er asked him: "Once we find the Wendaos Sect, how can we manage to be accepted into the sect?"
They didn't know about Tian Lin's relationship with Elder Yu, and they didn't even know of Elder Yu's existence in the Wendaos Sect.
At this time, Tian Lin's gaze turned to the people outside the Posthouse Governor's office leading pack birds.
A chubby man noticed Tian Lin's gaze, and seeing that Tian Lin came out of the post station, he guessed that Tian Lin needed a ride.
He saluted to Tian Lin from afar with his hands clasped and said with a smile: "My fellow Daoist, where do you wish to go? Do you need my service?"
Tian Lin only knew that Wind City was not far from the Wendaos Sect, but he did not know the exact location of the Wendaos Sect.
And those people outside the Posthouse Governor's office, leading pack birds soliciting business, certainly knew the local roads well.
He walked over and asked the chubby man: "I want to go to the Wendaos Sect, how much do you charge for the travel?"
Upon hearing that Tian Lin wanted to go to the Wendaos Sect, several other business people leading pack birds all looked at Tian Lin.
The chubby man lifted his hand, raising three fingers and said: "Three Low Grade Spirit Stones would suffice, since there are three of you."
Three Low Grade Spirit Stones weren't expensive, and Tian Lin was now convinced that Wind City was not far from the Wendaos Sect.
He was not stingy and therefore did not bargain.
After the Yu'er sisters were seated on the saddle on the bird's back, he then mounted the bird's back himself.
The bird took up a huge space on the street, fortunately, Wind City's streets were very wide and spacious.
The pack bird that had been lying on the ground stood up after the chubby man muttered a few words. In an instant, Tian Lin and the others, seated on the bird's back, were lifted over ten feet off the ground.
The chubby man climbed onto the neck of the bird, gave the bird's neck a few light pats, and the bird opened its wings that were several zhang (one zhang is approximately 3.3 meters) long.
The people on the streets of Wind City were evidently accustomed to the presence of pack birds and skillfully moved far away to the side.
Once the pack bird spread its wings and flapped them, Tian Lin and the others were carried up high into the sky by the pack bird.
Very quickly, Wind City became smaller beneath everyone's feet. Once they were a hundred zhang above ground, Wind City was already enveloped in dense fog.
Tian Lin surmised that this fog was an illusion created by Wind City's defensive arrays, intended to obstruct any high-altitude surveillance.
"Are you a Beast Tamer, my fellow Daoist?"
Tian Lin noticed that the flight of the pack bird underneath him was incredibly stable and seemed extraordinarily gentle.
But based on what Tian Lin estimated, the strength of the pack bird was likely not much weaker than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
"The North Wilderness is close to the Demon Domain, so there are many demon beasts here. Therefore, the cultivators here nearly all know some Beast Taming Techniques. But if you're asking about real Beast Tamers, only those immortal disciples from the Beast Taming Sect can truly claim to be such."
After the chubby man finished talking about the Beast Taming Sect, he suddenly changed the subject: "I see that you don't seem to be from the North Wilderness; could it be that you've come from another province seeking to join the Wendaos Sect?"
Tian Lin felt there was an implication in his words and asked: "Are there many people like me, who come to the Wendaos Sect in search of immortality?"
The chubby man smiled and pointed under the dense fog among the mountains: "You see between these mountains, those who live in cottages among the hills, they are all here seeking immortality at the Wendaos Sect.
Among these people, there are those like you who have just arrived, and then there are those who have lived here for over a thousand years."
Tian Lin was stunned to hear this and saw that there were indeed many cottages and caves among the mountains.
Between these cottages and caves, there were many cultivators moving about.
The chubby man said that some of these people have been living there for over a thousand years.
Yet the Wendaos Sect had moved from Tianbei County to this North Wilderness only a thousand years ago.
