Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Opportunity to Enter the Immortal Gate (Please Follow)
The death of the third-rate expert Supervisor left the already spacious dormitory feeling even more roomy.
Tian Lin shared a bed with little brother Da Liu, while the bench and "Six Dots" occupied the large bed opposite them.
Both sides kept to themselves, each earnestly meditating with their eyes closed.
It wasn't long before the knocking of Fat Auntie was heard at the door.
Fat Auntie came in carrying a tray with five large bowls stacked on top, each filled with braised pork.
She smiled as she set the meat down on the table next to the large bed, then said, "Supervisors, please try this and see if it suits your taste. I'm going to get the porridge, I'll be right back."
In truth, whether it suited their taste was of little concern; in Tian Lin's memories of this life, he had seldom eaten meat back in his hometown.
And after leaving home? He had never even had his fill of food.
The men each took a bowl of braised pork, picked up a piece with their chopsticks, and stuffed it into their mouths.
They ate greedily, oil dripping from their mouths, while Tian Lin furrowed his brows as he ate.
What should have been a soft, sweet, and tenderly delicious meat dish felt in his mouth like ground-up pieces of bitter herb.
After one bite, a bitter taste instantly filled his taste buds.

"Supervisor Tian, does my cooking not agree with you?"
Asked Fat Auntie somewhat anxiously as she set the porridge on the table.
When the others looked at Tian Lin, they noted that his expression was indeed a bit off.
At that moment, little Liu forked a piece of meat from Tian Lin's bowl, saying, "Big brother, you can't eat refined food like a wild boar, so if you're unaccustomed, give it to your brother."
He didn't manage to fork away Tian Lin's meat, as his hand was slapped back by Da Liu's chopsticks.
Da Liu glared at him and said, "He's your brother, is this how you play tricks on your little brother as the elder one?"
As he spoke, he forked two pieces of meat from his bowl into little Liu's, then forked another two pieces into Tian Lin's bowl.
At that point, Tian Lin said to Fat Auntie, "The meat is delicious, it's just that I feel terribly distressed thinking that this might be the only meat meal this year."
Everyone in the room laughed heartily, even "Six Dots," who bore grudges against them, couldn't help but smirk.
Fat Auntie laughed too and said, "As long as you like it; indeed, it's rare for us at the mines to enjoy such meaty dishes."
Fat Auntie didn't linger, as she still had to go outside to serve porridge to the mine slaves.
"Big brother, do you actually like or dislike the meat?"
Da Liu, seeing Tian Lin's frowned brow, couldn't help but ask.
Tian Lin returned the two pieces of meat in his bowl to Da Liu, saying, "Perhaps it's because I haven't had meat for so long that I'm a bit unaccustomed to it all of a sudden."
Hearing this, Da Liu also said, "Yeah, when I took my brother out to the worldly society, it was all right in the early years. But ever since becoming Huahua Lang, we've really been roughing it, hardly ever getting to eat meat."
Tian Lin wasn't listening to his ramble; he noticed that his 'braised pork', though bitter and medicinal, gave a feeling of blood and energy boiling within once ingested.
After swallowing a bowl of meat, his body felt feverishly hot.
This 'Qi Blood Pill' was indeed an elixir for tempering the body, but not for cultivating Inner Strength.
After Tian Lin completed a set of boxing exercises by the creek, he sweated out completely, feeling much more comfortable in his body.
"Good!"
Da Liu, who had followed along concerned for Tian Lin's well-being, clapped and praised, "Fourth brother, your punches and kicks now look more substantial than before."
Tian Lin smiled too, wiping the sweat from his face with a towel as he said, "My punching and kicking will still be no match for big brother and second brother even after decades of practice."
He wasn't completely offering flattery, as the martial talents of Da Liu and Chief Zhang were indeed exceptional.
If Tian Lin did not have the 'Holy Essence Grass', how could he possibly become a third-rate expert in less than half a month?
If it weren't for the Qi Blood Pill, his recent boxing would still be nothing more than 'flower fists and embroidery kicks', relying solely on the force of Inner Strength.
It's just a pity, as the braised pork was deemed 'defective Qi Blood Pills', the remaining medicinal effectiveness was negligible.
Unless Tian Lin could eat braised pork at every meal, his body would never be able to train effectively, and his martial skills would never improve.
"Martial skills are honed over time. You don't need to be disheartened, fourth brother. As long as you diligently practice, by the time you reach your big brother's and second brother's ages, you could also win people over with your martial skills."
After waiting for Tian Lin to wash in the creek, he and Tian Lin returned to the cabin together.
The people in the cabin were all meditating, none wanting to waste this chance to enter the immortal gate.
Even though they themselves felt it difficult to compete with Chief Zhang and Brother Leopard, who would willingly concede when an opportunity arose?
Tian Lin and Da Liu exchanged glances, then both went to bed, not bothering to blow out the oil lamp in the cabin.
As Da Liu sat cross-legged in meditation, Tian Lin also took out the Soul Burying Flower to consume.
Overnight, Tian Lin, who had become a third-rate expert, no longer found it as difficult as before to digest the power of the Holy Essence Grass.
In just one night, he had digested five stalks of Holy Essence Grass, gaining five more years of Inner Strength.
Due to yesterday's battle, the number of Supervisors had drastically decreased.
Originally second-rate experts, both Six and Da Liu were forced to go out and supervise, not to mention Tian Lin and Xiao Liu.
During lunch, after having porridge, Tian Lin rested for a while before beginning his cultivation with the Soul Burying Flower in the afternoon.
The room, once filled with people fighting for their lives, was now a place where everyone got along without issue, all becoming diligent Martial Artists.
Each practiced on their own, without interfering with others.
After two days, Tian Lin had become a second-rate expert and was about to quietly become a first-rate expert. Zhang Lao Da had returned to the mine field just before Tongsha, who had clearly stated he couldn't return.
"Manager Xu, I have taken care of the matter you entrusted to me, and I've also brought you the head of that Hu from West Village."
When Zhang Lao Da dismounted, Manager Xu was basking in the sun on the open ground of the mine.
Manager Xu was not very interested. He caught the blood-colored package that Zhang Lao Da threw to him, rolled it to his feet to stop it, and asked, "Uh, you know about the Young Master's desire to bring someone into Yao Yue Sect, right?"
"I didn't see the letter you left for me at the inn until I returned there today, and I learned about it from that letter."
"So what do you think, is it better to enter Yao Yue Sect or to stay here with me?"
Zhang Lao Da was taken aback, handed his horse over to a Mine Slave, and looked at Manager Xu while he exclaimed with a laugh: "Manager Xu, what an interesting thing to say. We, as Huahua Lang, if given the chance to enter the immortal gate, even to perform miscellaneous tasks, how could we not go?"
Manager Xu's face immediately turned sour, no longer paying attention to Zhang Lao Da.
Zhang Lao Da then strode toward the Supervisor's quarters; he had seen Tian Lin and the others at the door since he dismounted.
"Big brother!"
Da Liu was the most excited, but Xiao Liu was the most enthusiastic, only Tian Lin stood behind the Liu brothers silently watching Zhang Lao Da without saying a word.
Zhang Lao Da laughed, opened his arms to embrace the Liu brothers, and even rubbed Tian Lin's head as he passed by him.
"How is it, anything happened here after I left?"
After entering the room and releasing the Liu brothers, he paced around and then said with a light exclamation, "It's strange that you get to wear Supervisor outfits. What's even stranger is that the other Supervisors are gone."
Da Liu went to pour tea for Zhang Lao Da and recounted everything that had happened in the past few days, including the incident where the merchant's son's dog killed a Supervisor.
Zhang Lao Da looked at Tian Lin in astonishment and said, "I was planning to arrange for Second and Third to move into the Supervisor's quarters after I got back. I didn't expect that you managed to sort it out quietly. Good lad, so does this mean you're now a third-rate expert?"
Tian Lin didn't pick up on this but instead asked him, "What do you think about entering Yao Yue Sect, big brother?"
With only one spot available to enter Yao Yue Sect, how should the four brothers compete?
"Truth be told, I am the strongest among our four brothers in terms of power, but the Fourth brother has the highest talent."
While Zhang Lao Da spoke, both the Liu brothers looked toward Tian Lin.
Tian Lin noticed that among the Liu brothers, only Big Liu's smile was the most genuine, while Xiao Liu's smile appeared particularly forced.
At that moment, Zhang Lao Da glanced around and beckoned the three of them closer, whispering, "Among the four of us, I am absolutely barred from entering Yao Yue Sect."
Big Liu frowned, "Big Brother, after many years out, weren't you seeking immortality? Now that there's an opportunity to enter the immortal gate, why give up like this?"
Xiao Liu then asked:
"From what Big Brother says, are you planning to help the youngest into the sect? But he's merely a third-rate expert and his combat experience is not as rich as mine, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for him to catch Miss Xiao Yue's eye."
He was not belittling Tian Lin; the fact was that Tian Lin's combat experience was indeed very poor.
Both times Tian Lin managed to kill, wasn't it by taking advantage of his opponents' carelessness, hiding his own power?
However, what Xiao Liu didn't know was that Tian Lin was still hiding his strength. In just one or two more days, he would be able to step into the ranks of a first-rate expert.
"Indeed, talent is important, but when the merchant's son brings someone into the sect, does he really want to cultivate just an Outer Disciple? So, strength is the priority rather than talent."
Zhang Lao Da said, "If I enter the sect, then the plan to seek Immortal Techniques from Manager Xu would be ruined, so I still need to stay in the mine and pursue Immortal Techniques for the brothers; the youngest has the most talent but the weakest strength, so we need to put our efforts into helping the Liu brothers."
Hearing about helping 'Liu brothers' to enter Yao Yue Sect, Xiao Liu's face lit up with joy.
Just as he was about to say some words of gratitude, Zhang Lao Da's gaze turned to Da Liu: "Therefore, this opportunity to enter the sect will be left to you, Second brother."
Big Liu was incredulous upon hearing this, then quickly waved his hand saying:
"Although I am stronger than Fourth brother, how could I possibly surpass Big brother? Moreover, in terms of strength and talent, the Leopard brothers are not weaker than me; other than Big brother, who else can compete with them?"
Zhang Lao Da replied, "If we just clean up those few, then won't the spot at Yao Yue Sect be yours alone? The merchant's son said he could bring in anyone to Yao Yue Sect, as long as Miss Xiao Yue agrees."
"How could Miss Xiao Yue allow us to kill each other when we are all Supervisors under the merchant family?"
Big Liu still shook his head, then Tian Lin spoke, "Perhaps we could ask Manager Xu for a solution; Manager Xu is Miss Xiao Yue's father, after all. Besides, Manager Xu wouldn't want Brother Bao and Big Brother, these two money trees, to leave him, right?"
