I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 321 - 285 Demon Forest
In the days that followed, Tian Lin consumed Cold Fragrance Leaf daily for cultivation.
In just over half a month, besides the Earth Revitalization Technique reaching Great Success, other techniques like the Heavenly Water Breathing Technique, Great Sun Technique, Vajra Demon-suppressing Skill, and Sealing Earth Skill had all reached the Perfect Realm.
The four Dharma Bodies of water, fire, metal, and earth formed four beans in his Dantian, each emitting different lights.
Tian Lin now only awaited the Earth Revitalization Technique to reach the Perfect Realm so he could consider merging the five 'beans' to form a singular Five Elements Dharma Body.
According to Tian Lin's estimation, it wouldn't take long for the Earth Revitalization Technique to reach the Perfect Realm. Once the Five Elements Dharma Body emerged, he would be at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment level.

Early the next morning, students on leave from their clan returned to the academy.
The Teaching Elder only said a few words before letting everyone choose their Task Cards.
After flipping through several Task Cards, Ju Yunhai said to Tian Lin:
"Even though we were on leave last month, because of that, the simple tasks were all claimed by Class B disciples from other mountains. The remaining tasks are not easy to accomplish."
Tian Lin nodded, "These tasks mostly require teamwork to complete, indicating their difficulty and danger."
Ju Yunhai handed the card to Tian Lin, "This task requires three people. Junior Brother Tian, are you interested in teaming up with me?"
Upon hearing Ju Yunhai, Senior Sister Jia, who was selecting tasks nearby, also came over: "Senior Brother Ju, what's the task? Why not bring me along?"
Tian Lin, holding the token Ju Yunhai handed him, recited its content: "Assist the Hidden Sword Villa in retrieving a sword?"
"Hidden Sword Villa?"
Senior Sister Jia responded, "Is it not the Guo family? The Guo family's ancestor is a Sword Cultivator, and he possesses a flying sword nearly equivalent to a Dao Artifact. With this flying sword, he once survived an encounter with a Nascent Soul Realm expert."
Ju Yunhai nodded, "Yes, this Guo family ancestor entered seclusion a hundred years ago, reportedly aiming to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. The Guo family sent people to ask our help in retrieving a sword, but we don't know what kind of sword it is."
Senior Sister Jia said, "The task information isn't very clear, but it sounds safer than the others. Senior Brother Ju, Junior Brother Tian, are you interested in bringing me along?"
The Guo family requesting three disciples from our sect to undertake the task suggests that it's neither too simple nor too difficult.
If it were too difficult, the Guo family would not request Outer Disciples but would instead call upon the elders of the sect.
"Alright then, this task is worth trying."
After Tian Lin nodded, Ju Yunhai smiled and said to him, "Junior Brother Tian, don't forget to bring Miss Mei. With her involvement, the task will be much safer."
The reason for including Tian Lin wasn't because of his promising future, but purely due to the backing of Senior Immortal Mei.
Mei Immortal now being Tian Lin's sword holder meant that bringing her on the task did not violate any rules.
Therefore, with Ju Yunhai including Tian Lin, it equated to having a group that included three Late-stage Foundation Establishments. Moreover, Mei Immortal's late stage was of Inner Sect Disciple strength.
When the Inner Sect disciples take on Class B disciple tasks, how could there possibly be any difficulty?
"Let's say it's settled; shall we depart this afternoon?"
Tian Lin looked at Ju Yunhai and Senior Sister Jia, who immediately nodded.
Returning to his cave mansion, Tian Lin found Mei Immortal still in the third stone room.
After drinking the tea Yu'er handed him, Tian Lin said to Yu'er, "Please call Miss Mei out; I want to take her to the Demon Forest."
When other Class B disciples set out on tasks, they'd always bring their sword holders.
Only Tian Lin did not bring his, not because he didn't want to, but because Yu'er and Cui'er were too weak and would be burdensome.
Yu'er and Cui'er understood this, so they never asked Tian Lin to take them along.
Soon, Yu'er brought Mei Immortal out.
She had changed into a different outfit, no longer resembling the attire of the Goddess Sect.
Looking at Tian Lin, she said, "I help due to the contract's constraint; I do not wish your inadequacies to endanger my life, so don't misconstrue."
Tian Lin ignored her words, knowing that Mei Immortal's life was now bound to him.
Unless she could break the contract, she would be his sword holder for life.
Frankly speaking, Mei Immortal was more reliable than Yu'er and Cui'er.
If only contracts of substantial Earth Paper were easy to obtain, Tian Lin would have arranged such for Cui'er and Yu'er as well.
"This journey shouldn't be too dangerous. I'm inviting Miss Mei purely for safety assurance, not to treat her as a subordinate."
"Enough talk, let's go!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Mei Immortal was the first to leave the cave mansion, with Tian Lin following right behind.
By the time they arrived at the academy, Ju Yunhai and Senior Sister Jia, each with their sword holders, had been waiting.
After exchanging courtesies, Ju Yunhai released the Flying Boat, and they boarded in succession.
The Flying Boat was piloted by Ju Yunhai's sword holder, Yun'er, who had accompanied him on several tasks and also possessed mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Senior Sister Jia's sword holder, Feng'er, although having accompanied her on tasks, had never been to the Demon Forest.
At this moment, Ju Yunhai set up a table while Feng'er poured wine for everyone.
Ju Yunhai attempted to make friendly conversation with Mei Immortal, but she clearly didn't want to engage, leaving the others to let her sit alone at the center of the boat's side.
"Since the Hidden Sword Villa is in the Demon Forest, it should logically be closer to the Beast Taming Sect. Why don't they enlist help from the immortal disciples of the Sword Control Sect rather than seeking us at the Dao Inquiry Sect?"
To avoid awkward silence, Senior Sister Jia asked while holding a teacup.
Ju Yunhai nodded, "Indeed, Hidden Sword Villa should logically be within Beast Taming Sect's territory, no reason to go far. However, since the sect agreed to their request, let's just complete the task. Once we reach the Hidden Sword Villa, we can ask the Guo family."
After about half a day, night had settled in.
Ju Yunhai suddenly spoke, "We're not far from the Demon Forest now, and it breeds many Great Demons. To avoid attacks, it's best we travel on foot."
Senior Sister Jia readily agreed, "Senior Brother Ju has been to the Demon Forest several times, you're more familiar with it than we are, let's follow your lead this time."
Ju Yunhai neither assumed authority, asking Mei Immortal and Tian Lin at the boat's side, "Junior Brother Tian, Miss Mei, what do you think?"
Mei Immortal neither agreed nor disagreed, and as Tian Lin nodded, Yun'er maneuvered the Flying Boat to land just outside the Demon Forest without further instructions.
The roars of tigers and cries of dragons resonated through the night-covered forest.
It was unclear if it was an illusion or not, but the intense aura of beasts almost seemed to assail them directly.
