I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 102 93 Beloved Place
"These merchant siblings, they are both afflicted by the Heartache Gu."
Tian Lin considered this trip rather fruitful.
Now when he looked at Shang Yu and the Thirteenth Lady, he no longer found them mysterious.
After all, both of them had been cursed with the Heartache Gu.
Tian Lin suspected that the Gu-caster was the old merchant, but if it was truly the old merchant, then the merchant's request for an investigation without destroying the evidence made it particularly thought-provoking.
Tian Lin had no intention of delving deeper into this matter. Delivering meals was just a side job, his real destination was Dao Seeking Mountain.
At this time, the Yao Yue Sect seemed unusually busy. Servant disciples were either moving goods or corpses. Only Tian Lin remained aloof, spending all day at Dao Seeking Mountain.
After half a month, Tian Lin finally mastered the Wind Walking Skill to the Perfect Realm, and also gained the confidence to directly step onto the second section of the tenth flight of stone steps.
It was still an illusion, but this time it was not in a valley.
What met Tian Lin's eyes was two red-robed cultivators with masked faces, lying in the thorny underbrush, just like him.
One of the red-robed cultivators said: "We are both Qi Refiners at the fifth layer. If we want to improve our cultivation, we can only aim for other Qi Refiners—
This time when the Zhou Family is traveling, the most difficult one to deal with is Zhou Qing. He's a Qi Refining prodigy. In just half a year, he not only evolved from a mortal to a fifth-tier Qi Refining master, but his family's secret technique, the Heart Inquiry Skill, has even reached the Minor Success Realm."
"The Heart Inquiry Skill?"
Tian Lin was startled. Wasn't that a spell from the Heart Inquiry Sect?
"He cultivated a top-grade spell to the Minor Success Realm, how can we oppose him?"
Tian Lin was well aware that even a person at only the seventh-tier Qi Refining level could contest against those twelfth-tier Qi Refiners without advanced spells if they could cast a top-grade spell.
"What are you afraid of? Our Blood Fiend Skill is also a top-grade spell. Besides, are the Magical Treasures in your hands just for show?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Lin subconsciously caressed the longsword in his hand.
This longsword was entirely crimson and appeared to carry a hint of malevolence.
Tian Lin had seen Xing Shanping use a flying sword. That day, with Xing Shanping hundreds of meters away, he was able to decapitate a twelfth-tier Qi Refining practitioner from the Blood Sect with a single sword—it demonstrated the power of a flying sword.
He didn't know if the one in his hand was a flying sword, but hearing that it was a Magical Treasure, his confidence surged.
Just as he was about to ask more, the person next to him said, "Silence, the Zhou's are coming."
As they spoke, indeed the sound of rolling carriage wheels could be heard on the official road below the thorny forest.
Tian Lin looked up and saw a driver driving a carriage slowly ahead.
Behind the carriage, there were about a dozen men escorting wooden boxes.
"Attack!"
The leading red-robed cultivator shouted and leaped onto the official road.
With a 'boom', the pulling horse of the leading carriage exploded into a mist of blood.
And the head of the carriage driver was decapitated by the leading red-robed cultivator in an instant.
"Ambush!"
The dozen or so men escorting the wooden boxes reacted and drew the long swords at their waists.
These men were Qi Refiners at the first and second layers, but not only was their Cultivation Technique far inferior to the leading cultivator's, their cultivation and Magical Treasures were also far inferior to those of Tian Lin and his companions.
In an instant, these sturdy men turned into corpses.
At this time, Tian Lin and another red-robed cultivator leaped out from the thorny bushes. Tian Lin activated his True Qi and, along with the other two red-robed cultivators, pierced through the carriage compartment.
As the carriage disintegrated, all the contents were exposed.
"Damn, there's no one inside the carriage."
Indeed, there was no one inside the carriage. Realizing the situation was dire, the three hurriedly turned and fled.
Tian Lin's speed was extremely fast; his Wind Walking Skill had reached the Perfect Realm, unmatched by anyone present.
Just as Tian Lin turned to flee, he heard a 'boom' from behind—a sound of an explosion. The two red-robed cultivators didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to powder.
Tian Lin heard the commotion behind him but didn't dare to look back.
He vanished into the thorny forest like a ghost.
"According to Zhong Wujie's records, the young man inside the carriage should have been seriously injured and easy to kill. But now, what exactly is going on?"
Tian Lin, confident that his opponent wasn't following, waited a while before sneaking back into the thorny forest.
Normally, with his nature, he would never dare to return to such danger.
But once in an illusion, killing the target was the only way to leave.
Moreover, Tian Lin had tested that once the time in the illusion was up, the target would attack him recklessly.
So hiding was in no way a viable option.
At this time, there was no sight of the young man on the official road, only scattered flesh and blood.
Tian Lin scanned the official road about a hundred meters away and vaguely saw bloodstains.
"The opponent is indeed injured."
Tian Lin breathed a sigh of relief but considering his opponent practiced a top-grade spell, even if the opponent was injured, Tian Lin had no guarantee of victory.
After some thought, he took out an Ice Frost Talisman and a Fiery Flame Talisman from his Storage Bag.
These two pieces of talisman paper were purchased with Spirit Stones at Sword Peak while he was on a Zhou Family task mission.
The Godspeed Talisman was used, but these two talisman papers had not yet had the chance to be used.
"Should I look for him, or wait for him to take the initiative to find me?"
Tian Lin quickly dismissed the idea of seeking out the other party proactively.
He turned around and began searching the bodies along the way, quickly finding more than ten different types of Spirit Stones totaling over a dozen on the bodies of those men.
He had gone in and out of the first few levels of the stone steps of the illusion countless times, all to find Spirit Stones.
Now he had finally found the Spirit Stones, but the circumstances were not looking good.
Tian Lin dared not delay and quickly crushed a Water Spirit Stone to refine into Spiritual Liquid for consumption.
After more than an hour, the acupuncture points in his sixth meridian were finally all infused with Water Spiritual Energy.
Tian Lin did not want to delay, and he kept crushing Spirit Stones in the thorny forest to turn them into Spiritual Liquid until all the Spirit Stones were used up. He finally reached the sixth tier of Qi Refinement, and even some acupuncture points in the seventh meridian were opened.
"The 24 hours are almost up."
Tian Lin stood up, knowing that after 24 hours, perhaps due to the time constraints, his target might launch an attack on him.
But at that time, the target would be moving around beside him, so there would be no need to waste time looking for him.
This time was different, as Zhou Qing had clearly escaped due to injuries.
Not only did the opponent not know where he was, but even Tian Lin himself did not know where the opponent had ultimately fled to.
Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, and when Tian Lin opened his eyes to look, he saw a young man in white robes holding a sword and running towards him at high speed.
"Can it really be like this?"
Looking at the white-robed young man, whose intestines were still hanging from his stomach, a few more stones fell from Tian Lin's heart.
It was clear that Zhou Qing had already been treating his wounds with an open belly.
But the time restriction of the illusion forced him to run out with his intestines still hanging out without sewing up his belly.
"Scoundrel, prepare to die!"
Right now, Zhou Qing's eyes were bloodshot but his face was pale as paper.
He had run all the way with serious injuries, and his True Qi had been completely depleted along the way.
Along with Zhou Qing raising his sword, Tian Lin threw both the Fiery Flame Talisman and Frost Talisman towards Zhou Qing.
Tian Lin did not dare to be stingy at this moment; as soon as he threw the two talisman papers, they rapidly expanded.
The two talisman papers expanded like two bed sheets, first with the Fiery Flame Talisman 'bed sheet' spewing out a bunch of flames.
These blistering hot flames instantly vaporized a swath of trees nearby, and the thorny forest along the way erupted into a raging fire in an instant.
But before the flames could spread, before the forest turned into scorched earth, the Frost Talisman immediately turned these burning trees into popsicles.
Looking at the frosty forest, where could Tian Lin still find the figure of Zhou Qing?
Suddenly, the scene changed, and Tian Lin was instantly back in Dao Seeking Mountain.
"Talisman papers are powerful, but need to be used with caution when facing the enemy!"
Tian Lin found out during the use of the Fiery Flame Talisman and Frost Talisman that these battle-type talisman papers, in contrast to auxiliary talisman papers like the Godspeed Talisman, although powerful in attack, can be easily evaded.

If someone released a talisman paper in front of him, he would have enough time to escape using the Wind Walking Skill by the time the talisman paper expanded into a 'bed sheet' and unleashed its power.
Similarly, if it weren't for Zhou Qing's injuries, if it hadn't been for the time constraint forcing him to rush towards him uncontrollably, the Fiery Flame Talisman and Frost Talisman might not have been effective.
"Zhou Qing has the surname Zhou, and the Sect Ancestor of Heart Inquiry Sect's surname is Zhou—could the Founding Ancestor of Heart Inquiry Sect possibly be a person of the Zhou Family from Cangzhou?"
Tian Lin had some speculation in his heart, and this speculation was not impossible.
He did not know whether the Sect Ancestor of Yao Yue Sect had succeeded or failed when he intercepted Zhou Qing back then.
But what is certain is that the Zhou Family of Cangzhou had some intersection with the Sect Ancestor of Yao Yue Sect.
At this time, Tian Lin's cultivation had reached the sixth tier of Qi Refinement, and his strength had increased a bit more.
He was convinced that the tenth level of stone steps would allow him to continuously improve his cultivation, but thinking of Zhou Qing's strength, he felt somewhat timid.
Now, without the Fiery Flame Talisman and Frost Talisman, could he be sure to win against Zhou Qing?
"Tian, brother, there's no need to rush into the illusion!"
Just as Tian Lin was clenching his teeth and about to enter the illusion again, a voice sounded.
Tian Lin turned his head and saw Shang Yu's figure appearing on the first segment of the stone steps.
"Congratulations to brother Shang on escaping from the cage."
Tian Lin bowed on the stone steps, then casually stepped down the steps.
"In the past many days, I also have to thank brother Tian for bringing food to my sister. Otherwise, my sister might not have made it through."
Tian Lin did not believe his nonsense.
With an antidote delivered once a month, even if he did not deliver the antidote to Sis Thirteen, she would not have died.
Originally, Shang Yu asked him to deliver the antidote to Sis Thirteen because he wasn't sure if he could survive the imprisonment, and he was afraid that if he was detained for too long, Sis Thirteen wouldn't be able to take the antidote in time.
"There's no need for thanks; if brother Shang truly wants to thank me, simply keep your promise and give me the antidote for Heartache Gu."
Shang Yu said, "The formula for the antidote of Heartache Gu is only possessed by my father, but I have no idea where my father has fled to—brother Tian, how about we two cooperate, jointly find my father, and when the time comes, we can interrogate him to force him to give us the formula for the antidote of Heartache Gu?"
Tian Lin's eyes narrowed, and he thought of the wooden house in the mine.
The wooden house was located on the second floor of the Supervisor's building, and inside that house, many torture instruments were placed.
Manager Xu had mentioned that it was the young master's favorite place.
