I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong Chapter 57 - 52: Lady Thirteen (Please Continue Reading)

```

Logically, as an Outer Disciple, one would be entitled to reside halfway up the mountain.

However, Tian Lin had just pledged fealty to his ntor today and had not yet convened with his fellow sect mbers, so he still returned to the quarters of the Chores Courtyard.

When those servant disciples saw Tian Lin return, they wanted to cozy up to him but were also afraid of vexing him.

Before entering his abode, Tian Lin glanced at them and asked with a smile, "So, has the new Supervisor for the mining school been elected?"

The crowd pushed Zhao Si out front, just as Zhao Si knelt on the ground with a thud, his face twisted in distress as he said, "Immortal Master Tian, I didn’t an to seize your position."

Tian Lin said nothing, entered his abode, and ca out with a whip, scaring Zhao Si into covering the scar on his face.

Tian Lin did not lash out at him, but instead pulled him up from the ground and stuffed the whip into Zhao Si’s hands, slapping him on the shoulder, "Looking like that, how can you hold sway over the subordinates?"

Seeing Tian Lin’s intention was not to flog him, Zhao Si grew bolder by quite a bit.

While sheepishly grinning, he said:

"I have always been loyal to the Second Steward, and from now on, I am taking only the monthly salary of a Supervisor. I will not compete with them for the Water Spirit Ore in the river, so they are willing to let be the Supervisor."

Tian Lin said with surprise, "That’s actually a clever idea. You have to do well from now on."

He chatted with Zhao Si so more, subtly probing into Thirteenth Lady’s background, before patting Zhao Si on the shoulder and closing his door.

He looked at his own hands, feeling sowhat ill at ease.

He once again reviewed the charade he had just perford and felt that no matter how he acted, he couldn’t replicate the air of ’noble integrity’ and ’frankness with others.’

When the likes of Boss Zhang and Han Li patted others on the shoulder, it was both intimate and natural.

Yet his own pat on the back felt sohow forced and insincere.

After so thought, Tian Lin returned to his bedside.

He picked up a Horse Hoof Fruit from beside his bed, sniffed it, and took a bite.

There was no sweet and refreshing taste of the fruit; it was as unpleasant as biting into a lump of yellow clay.

Tian Lin frowned instinctively, examining the carefully washed Horse Hoof Fruit, convinced that the servant disciples at the kitchens had cleaned it thoroughly.

The taste of yellow clay was probably due to its very nature—the Earth Spirit Fruit was not palatable.

At that ti, he was not in a position to be picky. He stuffed the remaining half of the fruit into his mouth and, after eating another, he closed his eyes and began to ditate.

The taste of the ’Earth Spirit Fruit’ was certainly disagreeable, but it lted away with saliva in short order.

Tian Lin guided the Earth Spiritual Qi into the first acupoint, and only once the Earth Spiritual Qi had suffused that acupoint did he begin to formally refine these five different types of Spiritual Energy using the Five Elents Foundation Establishnt thod.

For other Qi Refiners, the most difficult aspect of the Five Elents Foundation Establishnt thod was gathering the five types of Spiritual Energy, followed by transforming Spiritual Energy into True Qi.

Tian Lin was different; for him, the most challenging part was not gathering the Spiritual Energy, but rather transforming the five types of Spiritual Energy into the Five Elents True Qi.

After ditating through the night, the Dao Bell outside sounded just as he finally completely transford the first acupoint within the first ridian into a ’True Qi Acupoint.’

"With only 22 acupoints in the first ridian, one month should be enough for to reach the first level of Qi Refinent cultivation."

Outside was the sound of Zhao Si calling people to start work, soon followed by the sound of brisk footsteps on the bamboo corridors.

When Tian Lin opened the door, he was surprised to see Zhao Si standing at the threshold. Zhao Si was nodding and bowing, pushing a food box towards Tian Lin with a smile, "Immortal Master Tian, are you hungry? This is the al I specially requested for you from the cafeteria. Have a look and see if it suits your palate; if not, I can go and get you sothing else."

Tian Lin was sowhat taken aback and asked him, "How long have you been standing at the door waiting for ?"

"Not long, not long. After those servant disciples went down to the river, I’ve been standing guard here, hardly more than two quarters of an hour."

Tian Lin pulled out the top layer of the food box and saw it was Grass God Fish.

He then opened the second layer and found Eagle Swallow.

He couldn’t help but look at Zhao Si in a new light and asked, "How did you know I like these dishes?"

```

Zhao Si bowed his body, with a fawning smile he said, "This humble one has asked the kitchen, and Second Lady said, Immortal Master Tian, you fancy this dish."

Tian Lin nodded, and as he reached for his pouch, Zhao Si hastily said:

"Immortal Master Tian, now that you are an Outer Disciple, where is there any reason for you to pay for a al? Wouldn’t that be slapping the kitchen’s face?"

After speaking, Zhao Si asked Tian Lin with a grin:

"Second Lady from the kitchen told , they received a Green Dragon Fish just yesterday. She asked to inquire when you plan to eat it."

Tian Lin rembered that Green Dragon Fish could increase Thunder Spirit Qi and also could be used in practicing Thunder Palm.

This was a treasure indeed, but currently, he had no use for it.

"Let the kitchen keep it for for now. When I feel like eating it, I’ll go to the kitchen and inform Second Lady."

After Tian Lin finished speaking, Zhao Si, knowing his place, respectfully backed away.

Until Tian Lin closed the door, he could still hear Zhao Si bragging by the riverbank, "What’s called currying favor? Look at this scar on my face; I’ve taken whippings for Immortal Master Tian..."

After closing the door and no longer hearing Zhao Si’s voice, Tian Lin placed the food box next to his bed.

He took out the Grass God Fish and Ghost Head Swallow, and indeed, on the third layer of the food box, he found a three-legged toad.

Now, he could gather gold, fire, water, and earth Spiritual Energy without needing silver, but the antidote containing ’Wood Spirit Qi’—the low-grade Wood Spirit Stone prescription—was in the hands of rchant’s son.

Tian Lin took out the wooden box containing the antidote from the head of the bed, which had enough antidote for him to absorb Wood Spirit Qi for half a month.

But what about after half a month?

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard the sound of a bell from the bamboo walkway outside, and then the sound of soone knocking on the door. Zhao Si’s voice said from outside, "Immortal Master Tian, Lady Thirteen has sothing to look for you."

When Tian Lin opened the door, he saw a woman in white with a palace flower in her hair standing at the door, smiling at him.

Behind the woman in white, followed a maid carrying a sword and holding a wooden box.

And Zhao Si, with his fawning face, already retreated behind the maid.

"I heard from Zhao Si that Mr. Tian, you were dining, originally I thought to disturb you after noon. Yet, I also heard from Second Lady that Mr. Tian, you have the habit of practicing in Dao Seeking Mountain every afternoon. If I ca then, it would not be proper. After considering, I decided it is best to co over now."

It sounded like she had already visited once before.

Tian Lin said, "It is I who have troubled Lady Thirteen to co down the mountain, I should be saying that I am disturbing Lady Thirteen—not to ntion, my abode is humble, please do not disdain it, ladies."

While speaking, he went to find a stool, but one had been torn apart by Xiao Yue before, and he hadn’t thought to repair it.

Thus, he could only find one stool.

Lady Thirteen entered the room, bowed slightly to Tian Lin, and then sat down on the stool.

Her white clothes were as pure as snow, making Tian Lin’s stool seem dirty.

But Tian Lin said nothing, and she didn’t seem to mind.

She glanced around the room, then turned to the maid and asked, "Has Qilang’s room been cleaned up?"

The maid replied crisply, "All the sitting and sleeping furnishings inside have been replaced with new ones; Immortal Master Tian can move in any ti."

Tian Lin felt a movent in his heart, sensing Lady Thirteen’s unusual authority in Lianshui Peak, that she was not just a person who accompanied Elder Liu in his ’baths.’

But fortunately, Lady Thirteen was very kind, and she smiled and said to Tian Lin:

"Our Yao Yue Sect’s disciples are categorized into those who are in the sect and those who are not, as well as those who are at the peak and those who are not. There are many abodes at the mountainside, but most are empty houses left by those who do not return or cannot return—

I also heard from the disciples at the mining school that you are a person who enjoys tranquility on normal days. Therefore, I specifically selected an empty house left by Qilang, built beside the bamboo forest, with a very pleasant na, ’Jiran Inn.’ True to its na, it is situated far from the official residence and undisturbed."

Hearing her explanation, Tian Lin quickly rose from his bed to express his gratitude.

But Lady Thirteen just smiled and said, "What is there to thank or not thank for? Firstly, you are now an Outer Disciple of Lianshui Peak, these are what you deserve. Secondly, you can also be considered a person from my maiden family, I ought to exert my caprice and favour my own people at least once."

Yesterday, upon returning, Tian Lin had inquired about Lady Thirteen’s background.

He knew that Lady Thirteen was the young mistress of the rchant’s family, a blood sister of the rchant’s son, but was taken into Yao Yue Sect at a very young age and beca Elder Liu’s concubine.

When she ntioned that he was a person from her maiden family, was it a sign of closeness, or was it a reminder to him that he was, after all, a servant in their household?
