I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

For three consecutive days, Tian Lin was concocting the so-called Heart Inquiry Pill.

His talent for alchemy was probably lacking since after three days, he only managed to produce three poor-quality, dark Heart Inquiry Pills.

Moreover, these dark pills were haphazardly crafted by sheer luck.

Even if given another three days, he had no confidence he could succeed in making a Heart Inquiry Pill, even a poor-quality one.

[Poor-quality Rising Dragon Pill, an auxiliary elixir for Rising Dragon Divine Skills, can be consumed]

Looking at the box, he saw the elixirs looking like dung balls rolled by dung beetles, Tian Lin closed the exquisite wooden box.

Outside the room, the voice of Brother Zhao suddenly arose: "Is it you? What is this—"

"This is medicine, for your brother—"

Then came the voice of a man in white.

Tian Lin hurried to the door and only saw Brother Zhao holding a porcelain bottle, his gaze shocked as he looked at the wooden staircase leading downstairs.

Tian Lin followed his gaze toward the staircase but saw no sign of the Heart Inquiry Sect Disciple.

"Where is he?"

Tian Lin asked, only to hear Brother Zhao say: "He just gave me a bottle of medicine, and before he could finish speaking, he left."

As Brother Zhao spoke, he handed the medicine bottle to Tian Lin, who did not reach out to take it but instead rushed down the staircase as well.

Tian Lin moved swiftly, and when he reached the bottom of the stairs, the man in white had not yet left the inn.

Tian Lin shouted at the man in white who was about to leave through the main entrance: "Brother, please wait."

The man in white stopped and turned around to look straight at Tian Lin, who sidestepped among the other patrons and approached him with a fist-and-palm salute:

"I am Tian Lin, thank you for delivering the medicine, brother. But why are you in such a rush to leave without even stopping for a cup of tea?"

The man in white turned away and said coldly, "I am busy, and I have to patrol the town, so I won't disturb you."

After he spoke, he turned to leave. Tian Lin quickly followed him.

The man in white heard the footsteps of Tian Lin, drew his sword halfway out of the sheath, and looked at Tian Lin with a warning in his eyes.

Tian Lin quickly halted, saluted with another fist-and-palm gesture, and said:

"Brother, since you do not have time to come upstairs for tea, you should at least take the cost of the medicine. It doesn't make sense that I was injured but you have to refine medicine for me for nothing."

The man in white put away his sword, turned his head away again to dodge Tian Lin's gaze, and said coldly:

"You were injured while blocking a silver needle for me, I will not take your money for the medicine."

"That won't do—I may have blocked the silver needle for you, brother, but you were also trying to save me and my two brothers. If not, you wouldn't have risked confronting Hall Master Zhou and his people."

The man in white frowned and said, "It is my duty to kill the devotees of the Blood Sect. I did not step in to save you."

"But the fact is that you did save me."

After saying that, Tian Lin took out a wooden box from his Storage Bag.

Opening the box, he picked out one of the three unattractive elixirs and handed it over:

"This Heart Inquiry Pill is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, brother."

Upon hearing this, the man in white turned his head to look at Tian Lin and exclaimed in surprise, "Heart Inquiry Pill?"

"Yes, since I do not practice the Heart Inquiry Skill, this Heart Inquiry Pill is completely useless to me. It would be better to leave one for you, brother, to help enhance your cultivation."

As far as Tian Lin knew, the Heart Inquiry Sect did not possess the formula for Heart Inquiry Pills.

Not only did the Heart Inquiry Sect lack the recipe for Heart Inquiry Pills, but the Yao Yue Sect also did not have the formula for auxiliary elixirs for Cangming Swordsmanship and the Earth Escape Skill.

Tian Lin could not explain the specific reasons, but he knew the Heart Inquiry Pill in front of him would surely move the man in white.

Indeed, the man in white looked at the elixir in Tian Lin's hand, hesitant to take yet also reluctant.

Tian Lin promptly stuffed the Heart Inquiry Pill into the man's chest, saying with a smile:

"This Heart Inquiry Pill is from my sect, and I have only three in total. By giving you this pill, I consider it reimbursement for the elixir cost."

This time, Tian Lin did not linger with the man in white but instead strode back to the inn.

Upon returning to the inn, he quickly walked to the window ledge.

To his surprise, he found that the man in white had not taken out the Heart Inquiry Pill he had given him and was instead wrangling with a rough-looking man on the street.

Tian Lin was puzzled, and Brother Zhao frowned beside him and said:

"This Brother from the Heart Inquiry Sect seems a bit too mild, which has caused him to be harassed by thugs. You just put the elixir in his chest, and it seems to have led to a misunderstanding by others, thinking what you gave him was money to get rid of him."

Tian Lin was astounded, not understanding the mess of things Brother Zhao was talking about.

"That guy is too bullying, especially since the Heart Inquiry Sect Brother is a bit too nice. If it were me, I would've beheaded that annoying mortal with a single sword stroke."

After Brother Zhao spoke, he picked up his sword and was about to open the window, but was stopped by Tian Lin.

Tian Lin said, "This brother from the Heart Inquiry Sect is somewhat reclusive and seems to dislike receiving favors. He can handle his own affairs, and if we try to assist him now, he might not appreciate it."

Not long after Tian Lin finished speaking, the other Brother Zhao had already freed himself from the scoundrel's grasp and fled without a trace.

Disciple Jiang chimed in:

"Right, I saw Master Feng gave him the elixir, and he didn't seem grateful!"

Just after Disciple Jiang finished speaking, Brother Zhao asked Tian Lin, "Brother Tian, what elixir did you give him?"

Tian Lin didn't want to reveal the Heart Inquiry Pill for the moment, so he responded casually:

"The elixir was given to me by the elder. He spent three days refining medicine for my injury, and I can't leave his kindness unrewarded."
