I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 106 96: Major Change, the Big Hand Behind Shang Yu?

Tian Lin seemed about to reach out and touch the mountain-shaped stone sculpture, which caused Zhou Qing's brows to furrow.

Tian Lin immediately withdrew his hand and said with a sheepish smile:

"Zhou, you're not from our Yulong Continent, so you don't know the longing we have for cultivation here."

Zhou Qing's expression lightened slightly as he took back the mountain-shaped stone sculpture and put it into his Storage Bag, saying:

"Forgive my bluntness, but now that you have become a Blood Sect Devotee, it will be quite difficult for you to join a proper Immortal Gate."

Tian Lin said, "If I were to reveal my difficulties to the Wendaos Sect's Immortal Masters, do you think they would understand me?"

Zhou Qing shook his head: "The Wendaos Sect is extremely strict in selecting its disciples; you shouldn't entertain such vain hopes."

Seeing that Tian Lin appeared somewhat desolate, he quickly added:

"However, there is no wall without a door. There is Elder Yu in the Wendaos Sect who never inquires about a person's background. If you can move him, joining Wendaos Sect wouldn't be an issue."

After saying this, Zhou Qing coughed and clutched his stomach, a look of agony spreading across his face.

"Why not stop and heal first before traveling on? There's no rush," Tian Lin suggested.

Before Zhou Qing could reply, the coachman outside the carriage interjected:

"My young master is on his way to seek medical help from Cloud Daoist right now, we would have already arrived at Cloud Daoist's place if we hadn't been delayed."

The carriage finally stopped on the official road, and at that time, the men who were driving the carriage all came forward to bid farewell to Zhou Qing.

It turned out that these men were not of the Zhou Family but escorts from a town associated with the Zhou Family.

Zhou Qing had arrived at his destination, but they still had to continue on their escort journey.

Tian Lin, helping the coachman, supported Zhou Qing off the horse, and as the three of them walked, Tian Lin asked the coachman:

"Can the Cloud Daoist, who is only at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, really cure Zhou's injury?"

The coachman, already impatient with Tian Lin's nagging, couldn't help but say: "In the whole of Pingyang County, there are few whose medical skills surpass Cloud Daoist's."

Just a few hundred steps from the official road into the forest, there was a bamboo forest and a bubbling stream. Over the stream stood a small bridge that led to a thatched cottage in the forest on the opposite bank.

A voice came from inside the cottage:

"Though I am old, my ears are not deaf. If you really don't think much of my medical skills, take your friend and leave. Let him seek out those Alchemists to save him!"

Tian Lin naturally didn't care, which saved him the trouble of taking action himself.

The coachman, however, became anxious and couldn't help but say:

"Cloud Daoist, please don't listen to this fool's nonsense. We are not acquainted with him, and my young master has full faith in your medical skills. Otherwise, he would not have rushed here seeking your help."

An old man with white hair and beard came out from the cottage, glanced at Zhou Qing, and asked:

"Looking at this poison, it seems like the work of the Tong Family — you are Zhou Qing of the Zhou Family, right?"

Zhou Qing, with a pale face, managed a smile and said, "It's been a few years, and I didn't expect you, Cloud Daoist, to still recognize me."

The old man gestured for Tian Lin and the coachman to support Zhou Qing into the house while he followed and then said:

"How could I forget? When you joined the Wendaos Sect, everyone hailed you as a prodigy from the heavens."

After Tian Lin and the coachman set Zhou Qing down at a table and chairs, the old man took out silver needles and approached Zhou Qing.

He lifted Zhou Qing's clothes and immediately inserted the silver needle into Zhou Qing's belly.

When he removed the silver needle, it was covered with foul-smelling black blood.

Looking at the blood on the silver needle, Tian Lin swallowed and the old man turned to ask him, "Want to try it?"

Tian Lin shook his head, and the old man then turned to ask Zhou Qing:

"I heard you were engaged to the heavenly favored lady of the Tong Family. Now seeing this injury from the Tong Family, what exactly happened?"

The coachman, grinding his teeth, said:

"That Miss Tong looks down on people, and once she heard that my young master was expelled by the Wendaos Sect, she immediately came to break off the engagement."

While the old man picked up a knife, he said:

"Your Zhou Family is considered influential in the town. It's utterly unreasonable for her to come to your door to break off the engagement, yet she even dared to harm you. Who would dare to marry her in the future?"

The coachman explained: "It's all because she has a female master. Having become a disciple of the Shuiyun Sect, she looks down on my young master. He only said, 'Fortune ebbs and flows, let no one despise the poor youth'—"

"And then was injured?"

The old man laughed and listened as Zhou Qing explained:

"It was her Sword Slave who hurt me — that Sword Slave said they might as well kill me to spare the trouble of me seeking revenge when I grow stronger."

At this moment, Tian Lin glanced outside at the sky, noting that it was still early.

The old man said, "I'm going to cut open and expel the poison now. You two don't need to stand around here, go wait outside."

Tian Lin and the coachman bowed and left the house, then came to the lounge chairs under the eaves.

He picked up a few books placed in front of the lounge chair and quickly found a book called "Poison Relief."

Cloud Daoist's books were all medical texts, and none were the Daoist Skills or spells that interested Tian Lin.

But soon, Tian Lin's gaze settled on the words "Heartache Gu."

He pondered over the process of creating Heartache Gu and its antidote formula.

At this moment, the voice of Elder Yun echoed in the room:

"Who will help me hold this kid down? Somehow, I've managed to put him to sleep, but he seems to be showing signs of waking up."

Tian Lin glanced at the sky once more. Logically, there should still be an hour left before the illusion dissipated.

But obediently, he put down the medical book and immediately pushed the door to enter the inner room.

He strode towards Zhou Qing, who had been vivisected and gutted.

Zhou Qing, even in his unconscious state, furrowed his brows tightly and was sweating profusely.

Elder Yun, with his modest cultivation, pressed on Zhou Qing's shoulder and said to Tian Lin, "Quickly hold him down, I'm going to apply needles on him."

Upon hearing this, Tian Lin didn't hesitate and jabbed his finger, shattering Zhou Qing's skull.

Elder Yun's face changed as he said, "I told you to hold him down, not to kill him—"

The illusion gradually blurred, and Tian Lin could no longer hear what Elder Yun was cursing.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back on Dao Seeking Mountain.

At that time, the sound of the Dao Bell tolled, and dawn completely broke.

Tian Lin glanced at the old Gou on the 95th step, seeing his eyes bloodshot as he solemnly stood and looked up towards the unreachable peak of Dao Seeking Mountain.

Following his gaze, Tian Lin also looked up at the summit of Dao Seeking Mountain.

An image of Zhou Qing's mountain-shaped stone sculpture unavoidably surfaced in his mind.

That stone sculpture was an exact replica of Dao Seeking Mountain.

And if the mountain-shaped stone sculpture was a fake mountain made of stone, then what about Yao Yue Sect's Dao Seeking Mountain?

Yao Yue Sect's Dao Seeking Mountain had no birds or insects, not to mention any vitality in its flowers, grasses, or trees—it was a completely man-made natural wonder.

"What was Yao Yue's old ancestor thinking when he returned from Cangzhou to Yulong Continent and made such a huge 'mountain-shaped stone sculpture'?"

"After leaving Blood Sect, did he join the Wendaos Sect and become a disciple there?"

No one was there to answer Tian Lin's questions, as the people from Yao Yue Sect only knew that Dao Seeking Mountain was created by the old ancestor of Yao Yue, yet the origin of Dao Seeking Mountain was unclear, at least to the servant disciples.

"All disciples from each peak, Outer and Inner, quickly proceed to Moon Pond Mountain upon orders!"

As Tian Lin was lost in thought, the resonating sound of the Dao Bell echoed, and Elder He's flying crane started to shout out again.

The flying crane wasn't foolish; it dared not circle Dao Seeking Mountain, only squawking loudly above Baihua Peak.

On Dao Seeking Mountain, Tian Lin was momentarily stunned, then glanced at the old Gou and quickly descended the stone steps.

As he descended from Dao Seeking Mountain, he saw the figure of Xiao Hong at Baihua Peak.

Over half a month had passed, and Xiao Hong had at least outwardly lost the look of sorrow.

Yet, her expression was somber as she said to Tian Lin, "These past weeks, the sect has been in chaos. Yesterday, my grandfather returned and even had an outburst at the peak."

Tian Lin wasn't surprised by Elder Xiao's outburst; with his fiery temper, it would be surprising if he didn't have one.

"Sister, do you have any idea why the sect is urgently summoning us to Moon Pond Mountain?"

Tian Lin asked, and Xiao Hong shook her head, saying, "This morning, my grandfather went to Moon Pond Mountain again, and I suspect something significant is about to happen. But as for what exactly, I haven't a clue."

A shadow passed over Tian Lin's heart, as he clenched the token in his hand, given to him by Elder Liu.

The two of them made their way to Moon Pond Mountain and finally saw Elder Xiao in the Dao Enlightenment Ground at the back of the mountain.

In reality, aside from Dao Seeking Mountain, every peak of Yao Yue Sect had such a spacious Dao Enlightenment Ground.

Tian Lin didn't know how it was with the other auxiliary peaks, but ever since he became an Outer Disciple at Lianshui Peak, he had never seen Elder Liu gather disciples on the Enlightenment Ground to impart Daoist Skills.

But now, even though seven elders sat on the Enlightenment Ground and the Sect Leader sat high on the stage, these elders and the Sect Leader were evidently not there to impart teachings.

"Looks like almost all the disciples have arrived; why don't I see Elder Liu?"

Atop the stage, Xing Tongtian in his Daoist robe spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present heard his question clearly.

Nearly a hundred disciples looked at each other, unable to answer Xing Tongtian.

Seated in his chair, Xing Tongtian continued to fiddle with the lid of his tea cup, asking again, "Have all the disciples from Lianshui Peak arrived? Is there really not a single person who can answer me?"

Tian Lin furrowed his brow, knowing that Shang Yu was away investigating the merchant family and thus not in the sect; that was understandable.

But the Second and Third Stewards were in the sect, yet they weren't stepping forward.

Reluctantly, Tian Lin stood up and said, "Reporting to Sect Leader, this disciple was climbing Dao Seeking Mountain last night, so I am unaware of my master's whereabouts."

Of course, he wouldn't mention his visit to Elder Liu from the night before, but he wasn't lying either. He was actually climbing Dao Seeking Mountain in the latter part of the night.

"Would a disciple make a trip to Lianshui Peak?"

After the Sect Leader asked, Elder Xiao couldn't help but curse:

"What's the point in going now! Old Liu knew long ago that you as Sect Leader were up to no good; he's definitely already fled!"

"Fled?"

Xing Tongtian scoffed coldly, "In the face of such a major event of the sect, how could he, the Great Elder of Yao Yue Sect, just up and leave? Send someone to the merchant fortress to find Shang Yu, and have him come back to investigate his master's whereabouts."

Below, a thought struck Tian Lin.

He didn't understand why Xing Tongtian was so sure that finding Shang Yu would reveal Elder Liu's whereabouts.

Moreover, logically, Shang Yu was just an ordinary Outer Disciple—how could he hold such clout to be remembered by name by Xing Tongtian, and why was his whereabouts a concern?
