I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 26 - Chapters Killing Xu (Part 1) Seeking to Follow Read

The scent of fish now filled the entire room, as the waiter placed a stack of dishes from the transmission plate onto the table, then asked Zhang Lao Da, "Would you like to invite the little tavern maid to play a song for the two heroes?"

Zhang Lao Da looked at Tian Lin, and seeing Tian Lin shake his head, Zhang Lao Da also said, "Forget it, I can't appreciate those high-pitched sounds, you can go down now."

After the waiter left and closed the door, Zhang Lao Da began serving rice to Tian Lin while saying, "Don't be fooled by that waiter's skinny appearance, he is actually a third-rate expert."

Tian Lin was genuinely surprised, took the rice, sat down, and said, "Does running a small tavern really require a third-rate expert?"

Zhang Lao Da handed chopsticks to Tian Lin, saying:

"In the four seas and nine provinces, wherever there are immortal gate, there will be gatherings of Huahua Lang. The places where Huahua Lang gather are always mixed with all kinds of people. And those who open taverns in such mixed places, from top to bottom, must all be experts; otherwise, how could they even open a tavern?"

While listening to Zhang Lao Da, Tian Lin had already picked up a small piece of 'Pseudo Black Flood Dragon' and put it in his mouth.

He had once suffered from deviation due to consuming Holy Essence Grass, so this bite was actually just a tiny strip of meat.

The delicious fish strip melted in his mouth, and Tian Lin did not feel any overwhelming medicinal power trying to assault his internal organs.

"You are a third-rate expert after all, why do you eat like you're scrimping and saving?"

Zhang Lao Da laughed while serving a big piece of fish and a piece of chicken to Tian Lin.

Tian Lin tried eating the fish, and immediately felt a stream of heat flowing down his throat to his intestines, and then spreading to his limbs.

His face stiffened, ready to call out to Zhang Lao Da for help if he began to deviate.

But to his relief, this heat was not overbearing.

It circulated inside his body once, seeming to find nowhere to settle, and finally disappeared through his pores.

Zhang Lao Da frowned, seeing Tian Lin's stern face, and asked, "What's wrong, got a fish bone stuck?"

Tian Lin shook his head, smiling, "Probably because it's been too long since I've eaten fish, it's somewhat hard to believe."

Hearing this, Zhang Lao Da laughed and said, "Once we practice Qi Cultivation, the world will be ours to roam. By then, do we still need to worry about not being able to eat fish?"

Tian Lin thought, if he could get the technique of Qi Cultivation from Manager Xu, he could use it to convert the Fire Spiritual Energy of the 'Pseudo Black Flood Dragon' into True Qi to retain inside his body.

He found that eating 'Pseudo Black Flood Dragon' now wasn't very beneficial, so he picked up the chicken and took a bite.

This chicken was initially just a farm chicken, but Tian Lin's index indicated that this was a 'Nurturing Pill,' able to restore vitality and energy when injured.

The whole table of dishes, almost all the meat dishes had various functions, and most of the greens were difficult to swallow 'herbs.'

After the meal, Tian Lin felt his stomach round with fullness, and finally stood up to tell Zhang Lao Da, "I want to take some Soul Burying Pollen back to my room."

Zhang Lao Da was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand allowing Tian Lin to proceed.

Mr. Ye collected a lot of Soul Burying Pollen, and Tian Lin took a significant amount of Soul Burying Pollen.

He left Zhang Lao Da's room, opened the door of the adjacent room. After lighting the oil lamp, he sat on the edge of the bed and began to cultivate using the Soul Burying Flower.

The Fire Spiritual Energy brought by the 'Pseudo Black Flood Dragon', although it did not stay in his body, mysteriously had a Washing the Marrow effect.

While consuming the Soul Burying Flower Powder, Tian Lin felt the increase in his Inner Strength becoming less obstructed.

He meditated for several hours until the full moon was high, and it was already evening before he went to sleep.

The next morning, as soon as Zhang Lao Da got up, Tian Lin also took his knife and left the inn.

Zhang Lao Da said with a laugh, "Why are you getting up so early, do you really plan to help Manager Xu with his tasks?"

Tian Lin replied, "I'd like to take a walk in the market."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

After Zhang Lao Da asked, Tian Lin shook his head and refused.

He took his knife and left the tavern, wandering the streets alone.

From an alley, a child rushed out and bumped into Tian Lin. Just as the boy steadied himself and was about to run off, Tian Lin's scabbard hooked around the boy's throat, pulling him back.

The boy burst into tears, and immediately two men armed with knives ran out of the alley.

The two men pointed their knives at Tian Lin and said, "You're not from around here, why are you bullying a child?"

Tian Lin said nothing, only pressed the boy down with his scabbard, and retrieved his money pouch from the boy's waist.

Seeing this, the two men grimaced fiercely and said, "How dare you rob our child's money!"

"Your child?"

After Tian Lin asked, he saw the two men draw their knives and chop at him.

He drew and sheathed his sword in one fluid motion, and in an instant the two men were clutching their throats, collapsing to the ground.

The street vendors who had been watching the spectacle were all stunned, their laughter ceased, except for the little boy still being pressed down by the scabbard, who was crying loudly.

At that moment, applause came from behind Tian Lin, and Zhang Lao Da said, "Younger brother, your skills have really improved."

Tian Lin turned his head and said, "Big brother, don't worry about me, these petty thieves are nothing to worry about."

However, Zhang Lao Da's gaze turned towards the street vendors, and he said coldly, "The world always has more fools than wise men. I always have to personally kill a few before they understand who they can provoke and who they can't."

The vendors said nothing, while Tian Lin went on to check out the vegetables and fruits.

That afternoon, he picked out two or three items, and Zhang Lao Da asked him, "If you want eggplants, just let the tavern's staff know, why bother coming out to buy them yourself?"

Tian Lin replied, "Just this once, I won't come again."

In his eyes, although the market had many items labeled as 'herbs', most of them were ordinary.

Only the eggplant, called 'Serenity Fruit', caught his interest, as eating it could calm the mind and enhance focus.

That afternoon, Tian Lin did not dine with Zhang Lao Da.

He ate 'Pseudo Black Flood Dragon' and 'Serenity Fruit' by himself, then took 'Holy Essence Grass' and began to meditate.

Until late evening, when a new guest arrived next door, and that guest had the tavern's maid play the zither and sing:

"By the river, a young maid washes clothes, water flows east to meet her beau; The beau has gone to seek immortality, for over a decade, does he still remember Huahua Lang—"

The unusual tune caught Tian Lin's attention, but what made him rise from meditation was the cursing of a man from next door:

"We hired you to sing and lift spirits, what's with this weeping mess?"

The maid quickly apologized, "Sorry, sirs, I thought of my husband when singing. He left to seek immortality, and there's been no news for many years."

When she asked, "Do you gentlemen perhaps know of my husband?"

From next door, two men responded, "Who knows who your husband is, we're not helping you find him. Sit down and sing something pleasant, or else even the tavern's manager can't protect you."

The maid asked, "What song do the two sirs wish to hear?"

A man laughingly said, "Aren't you waiting for your beloved? Sing 'Waiting for My Love in the Deep Night.'"

The maid started singing next door, "Waiting for my love in the deep night, yet my love does not come. My clothes half-undone, bellyband opened—"

Tian Lin lost interest in listening to such a lewd song; he left the room, unsheathing his sword and swinging it around wildly.

Behind him, Zhang Lao Da's voice sounded, "Well done, Old Four, you've kept your skills quite hidden—when did you reach the first-rate master level?"

Tian Lin didn't intend to hide it from him and shared with Zhang Lao Da, "I was already second-rate while in the mines, and by the time I left, I was not far from stepping into the first-rate."

Zhang Lao Da's mouth agape, he was silent for a long while.

He couldn't believe someone could attain first-rate mastery in just half a month, but Tian Lin was indeed a first-rate master now.

"Good, the stronger your skills, the more confident we can be about our task."

Zhang Lao Da smiled and said, "Just wait, I've already inquired. Young Master Shang will leave in two days. In two days, we can invite Manager Xu to this tavern 'for a meal'."
