I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"The Yin Yang Longevity Technique is a cultivation method for the Yin Yang Dao, which itself is the supreme Dao. The Dao cannot be shared lightly; what benefits do I gain from passing it on to them?"

In other words, passing the Yin Yang Longevity Technique to Tian Lin also benefits Tingyu Zhenren.

But Tian Lin indeed lacks the confidence to comprehend this technique on his own, so after listening to the spells taught by Tingyu Zhenren, Tian Lin was in no rush to enter the mountains.

For the next two to three days, under Tingyu Zhenren's careful guidance, Tian Lin immersed himself in comprehending this top-grade spell.

In truth, given Tian Lin's perceptiveness, coupled with his possession of several top-grade divine skills, cultivating ordinary spells wouldn't pose excessive difficulty for him.

Those few top-grade divine skills, along with the intermediate and low-class ones, were all comprehended with the help of the Cold Fragrance Leaf. However, the Cold Fragrance Leaf merely played an auxiliary role, while the divine powers and spells Tian Lin came to understand were truly and thoroughly mastered by him.

His insight and comprehension of the Five Elements are profound, and since Yin and Yang resonate with the Five Elements, they can validate each other.

If it were to comprehend the Yin Yang Dao, Tian Lin might find it beyond his reach.

But merely to comprehend the spell-level Yin Yang Longevity Technique, with Tingyu Zhenren's guidance, Tian Lin found it not difficult at all.

In just two or three days, Tian Lin had already mastered the Yin Yang Longevity Technique.

Though it was only at the initial mastery stage, it was already sufficient.

Following Tingyu Zhenren's instructions, Tian Lin step by step approached the big tree.

As Tian Lin drew near, the tree demon shed its leaves, fluttering down like a storm.

These fallen leaves were like blades, meant to slice Tian Lin's body.

Ordinary Qi Refiners would naturally have no resistance in the face of these leaves.

But Tian Lin, now relying on the exotic fruits from the forest, had restored his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Yet even so, he was barely able to fend off the leaves, narrowly escaping the roots attacking him.

The most unpredictable aspect of this tree demon was the buds on the tree, which would release a cloud of pollen upon blooming.

These pollen clouds were both a protective measure and a deadly weapon of the tree demon; even Golden Core Realm experts would undoubtedly perish upon inhaling the pollen.

But Tian Lin was different; he was utterly unafraid of this toxic pollen.

Seeing Tian Lin truly approach the tree demon step by step, Tingyu Zhenren clicked his tongue in wonder, further solidifying his judgment.

Passing the Yin Yang Longevity Technique to Tian Lin was indeed better than passing it to Lang Guan and the second head.

Firstly, Lang Guan and the second head hadn't even cultivated divine skills, so learning new spells wasn't easily successful. After all, the Yin Yang Longevity Technique is a top-grade spell requiring a certain understanding of the Heavenly Dao for easier comprehension.

Secondly, Lang Guan and the second head had too low a cultivation level. Even if they cultivated the Yin Yang Longevity Technique, they could never get close to this tree demon.

In contrast, although Tian Lin's cultivation seemed suppressed, his two previous actions indicated he had True Qi hidden within.

Tingyu Zhenren didn't know why Tian Lin could hide True Qi but knew Tian Lin was certainly stronger than Lang Guan and the second head.

The current outcome fully verified his thoughts. Tian Lin was indeed holding back; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to get so close to the tree demon.

Thirdly, he and Tian Lin were destined to leave.

Because of their vow in front of Houtu, even if he and Tian Lin couldn't be friends, they couldn't be enemies either.

Tingyu Zhenren saw potential in Tian Lin and attempted to turn him, who wasn't an enemy, into a friend;

"Since ancient times, nothing in the world escapes the principles of Yin and Yang. Solitary Yin becomes a ghost; solitary Yang becomes a god. Solitary Yin cannot produce; solitary Yang cannot grow. Hence, only the harmony of Yin and Yang aligns with the Heavenly Dao!

The reason the Yin Yang Longevity Technique, though a spell-level technique, can perform Daoist skills comparable to divine powers lies entirely in its aim to borrow the Dao from Heaven—

Among various sects' methods, there are two kinds: borrowing the Dao from Heaven and invoking divine power. One seeks the Dao directly from Heaven, while the other requests ancestral teachers and gods to lend their magic. The Yin Yang Longevity Technique seeks the Dao from Heaven."

As he spoke, Tian Lin had already begun to perform the Yin Yang Longevity Technique.

This technique is not for killing but truly a spell used for nurturing spirit plants.

As Tian Lin's True Qi followed his fingers, piercing bit by bit into the tree demon.

Suddenly, the tree demon's trunk developed numerous holes.

These holes, akin to acupuncture points on a human body, began absorbing immense life force once opened by Tian Lin.

Instantly, dense fog began to gather from all around towards the tree demon, absorbed by its acupuncture points.

Along with the influx of life force came a large amount of gray fog.

The gray fog was Death Qi, causing ordinary plants to wither and die in an instant wherever it went. Tian Lin, however, stood amidst the Death Qi.

Tian Lin was very familiar with Death Qi and wasn't afraid of it at all.

But Tingyu Zhenren's expression changed, and he couldn't help but say:

"Have you cultivated the Yin Yang Longevity Technique to perfection? That can't be right; even the perfected Yin Yang Longevity Technique couldn't absorb so much Death Qi!"

If Tingyu Zhenren still had his Nascent Soul cultivation, he wouldn't be afraid of this Death Qi.

But now, having lost his cultivation, he was no different from an ordinary mortal, forcing him to crawl away from the area.

The sudden appearance of vast amounts of Death Qi and life force was completely beyond Tingyu Zhenren's expectations.

This commotion naturally drew the attention of Lang Guan and the second head. Lang Guan was the one who came to inquire.

He asked Lang Guan, "Old Seven, where's Old Six? What's happening here?"

Tingyu Zhenren's voice trembled slightly as he pointed to the dense mist in the distance: "Old Six is in there! I taught him a spell, but I never expected such a massive disturbance after he cast it."

Lang Guan frowned, eyeing the gray and white interwoven mist in the distance without a word.

He knew the old man had been teaching Tian Lin spells these past two days.

As a Huahualang, how could he not want to learn as well?

But the old man didn't offer to teach him. Even as a brother who made an oath in front of Houtu, he couldn't well force the issue.

So, he and the second head conscientiously stayed at the foot of the mountain, partly to direct the mortals in building wooden houses and partly to avoid suspicion.

No one expected Tian Lin's talent to be extraordinary, learning the old man's spells in just two or three days.

Moreover, not only did he learn the spell, but its effects were also quite powerful.

"I observe the fog ahead; it doesn't seem to be any good."

After a long pause, Lang Guan finally spoke.

After receiving Tingyu Zhenren's affirmative, Lang Guan snapped, "Old Seven, I'm not criticizing you, but you seem shrewd and cunning. Yet every scheme involves risking people's lives!

Your previous plan to poison the Cultivator was turned against us, and we lost Old Three and Old Four because of it! And now, you devise another scheme, wanting to use the heavens to kill the tree demon.

Now the tree demon isn't dead, and I fear Old Five's life is at risk."

Tingyu Zhenren's face flushed!

He never intended to harm Tian Lin, but the facts were as Lang Guan said. Under such overwhelming fog, not to mention Tian Lin's cultivation hadn't fully recovered yet.

Even if Tian Lin's cultivation had fully recovered or even broke through to the Golden Core Realm, what does it matter?

Golden Core cultivators who absorb Death Qi would still die!
