Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 372 - The Inevitable Tour to the Rain Forest



Yang Lisha stands in the dark alley in casual sportswear late at night in September. If time and place are not so abnormal now, she really looks like a young girl who just finishes her jogging.

Yang Lisha comes to her for nothing else but their pacts.

Lin Luoran wants Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian to go back first; however, she remembers she may need this female monster’s help with taking care of the Lin family. Now it is a good chance for them to get to know each other.

“You guys can call her school uncle Yang.”

Yuan Ye has met Yang Lisha before in the Tower of Babel. At that time, he only felt that she was mysterious and powerful. When did she also become a school uncle?

Yang Lisha says nothing else, “You are really good at claiming kinship. Just follow me. ”

Yang Lisha takes them to walk through alleys of Rong City, and they soon come to Yang’s small flower shop. Yuan Ye is quite familiar with this place. Mr. Lin and he once made trouble with this place. After a long time, he still feels embarrassed when he comes to this flower shop again.

The two apprentices are appreciating flowers in the store, and Yang Lisha takes Lin Luoran to the backyard. The acacia tree bears a lot of fruit this year, and some bean pods have burst out.

Lin Luoran is not happy but frowns.

Yang Lisha shows the same look. She picks up a reddish acacia bean, “Voiddy is dying... She can’t wait any longer. Lin Luoran, when are you going to Penglai?”

Lin Luoran can feel the overflowing Wood Reiki even without Yang Lisha’s warning. This small yard is nourished by Reiki overflowing from the acacia tree. Various anti-season flowers and trees are wide open now while vines covering the whole walls are lush and leafy. Maybe the Reiki of the acacia tree is out of Yang Lisha’s control?

“I have sorted out all the clues about Penglai. When exactly do you set off?”

“And where is the soul wood? ”

Lin Luoran can’t escape from Yang Lisha’s interrogation. She is silent for a while, “I will take you to the soul wood a month later.”

She then leaves Yang’s flower shop. Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian have both heard their conversation. Lin Luoran has never told her family that she is going to look for Mount Penglai. She can’t hide it anymore at this moment, so she just tells her apprentices the truth.

“Grandmaster, are you going to find Mount Penglai?”

Yuan Ye is an individual cultivator, but he still has many inheritances. Mount Penglai only exists in ancient books. He doesn’t know why his grandmaster wants to find the Spirit Mountain as she has the top-notch personal ability in Huaxia.

Lin Luoran smiles, “Yuan Ye, do you know there are some imperative duties when people are alive? For example, as a daughter, I don’t want to see my mother becoming a pile of bones after a hundred years later... It is said that there is a way for mortals to shape the Taoist root in Mount Penglai. I will begin this journey sooner or later.”

Zeng Tian is inexperienced, not knowing how dangerous it is, “Grandmaster, have you planned it for a long time?”

Lin Luoran nods, “It has been about seven or eight years since I knew there was a chance in Mount Penglai. I made this decision long ago. It wasn’t until I met this female monster that I got clues of Penglai. This is also the reason why I was eager to bear Essence. I can’t make up my mind for a long time because I am not very confident yet. Your guys’ personal ability is not good enough, so maybe you couldn’t take care of our family if something bad happened. ”

Filial love is always impressive, and Lin Luoran’s decision is not a mistake.

But Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian feel extremely stressful.

If Lin Luoran’s trip lasts for several years, can the two of them support the Lin family?

Lin Luoran is less worried when she sees how bad Yuan Ye’s look is. “I will leave one month later, and someone may get the jurisdiction of the Dragon Palace according to some information. At that time, I will authorize you. If there is any danger that cannot be resolved, you can take our families and friends there. You should also store more food in the Dragon Palace. Even if someone drains the water of the Dongting, he will never find the entrance. ”

Yuan Ye nods. Zeng Tian feels the atmosphere is very uninspiring, so he teases his big school brother that he is now a “turtle prime minister”. Yuan Ye punches him fiercely.

The three of them return to the Lins’ villa as nothing happens. Starlight is splendid tonight, but no one has the mood to appreciate the moon.

No one notices there seems to be a certain star in the distant sky. It flickers for a while at an abnormal frequency and then returns to peace.

...

“Goldie, it’s okay. Just stop here.”

Lin Luoran finds a mountain col in the air on Goldie’s back. This is a rainforest on the border of Yunnan and Burma. She plans to transplant the soul wood here.

Choosing an inaccessible place, Lin Luoran flashes into space and begins to dig the tree hard.

Space is more and more convenient for her, but the rule of banning spells here still remains. Lin Luoran can only accept fate and takes the shovel to dig holes in the ground. Even two persons holding hands together still can’t hug the soul wood. It also has extremely deep roots. She has to dig for a long time, even her strength is not weak.

She picks a red persimmon when she feels tired. It tastes soft and sweet. There is no need to ripen the persimmon by covering it in the rice bran because of the advantage of space. The more Lin Luoran improves her personal ability, the harder for her to imagine what kind of realm is needed to create a magic weapon like space.

After picking the persimmon and peanuts to peel and eat, Lin Luoran continues her career of digging the tree.

When the soul wood breaks through the soil layer, the three residents of the space have to help her as support. Otherwise, many spirit herbs will be killed by this big tree.

Lin Luoran grabs its branch with one hand. Using her spiritual power, she soon leaves space with the tree together.

The soul wood almost falls on top of Goldie. It stares at its bad owner and flutters to another side. Lin Luoran smiles awkwardly and takes out an elixir to please Goldie.

She chooses a high place that can’t cause fluid accumulation. It has been much more convenient since she was outside space and could use the Water Spell. She digs a big pit and plants the soul wood with the wind power. Lin Luoran tries her best to make it look as if it has always been planted here. It still looks a little weird after Lin Luoran’s hard work. She soon discovers that other old big trees in the rain forest have been covered with moss and vines. Lin Luoran just imitates it and decorates the tree. It then looks much more pleasing to the eye.

The soul wood nourished by the crazy Taoist has a diameter of more than ten meters, and it is as high as a building of dozens of storeys. Three meters in diameter and less than fifty meters high, it is only three thousand years old. Its leaves are not mature, so one of them still can’t totally wrap a person.

For this reason, the soul wood is not too conspicuous in the col of such a large forested place on the border of Yunnan and Burma. Lin Luoran has to find a “birthplace” for the soul wood. She can’t just take out this soul wood from space, whether the female monster can see through it or not.

After planting the trees, Lin Luoran feels satisfied. She fumbles a white piece of paper and folds it into a paper crane.

This is the destiny of people without a grandmaster. She can only learn some simple stuff like paper cranes from the female monster.

Yang Lisha said that paper cranes sending letters are more than spells. Simple spells cannot make a paper crane come a long way to find the recipient accurately. It is not like a mobile phone, which may lose signals, or radio waves, which may be intercepted by others. A paper crane can even shelter itself from rainy days. The paper crane is really a necessary and useful good.

More than spells? Then it must be the arts of nature.

But this kind of art of nature is so simple. What the female monster taught her reminds Lin Luoran of “mindology” proposed by a famous Confucianist Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty of Huaxia. This little art of nature is very easy. You just have to keep folding paper cranes with white paper nourished by a spiritual mind while thinking about letting them fly. When you finish more than 10,000 paper crane, the last one will fly by itself... Lin Luoran thought it was a total joke at the time. What kind of art of nature is it? But Yang Lisha laughed at her for knowing nothing. This little art of nature may look simple, but it only works when it is done by cultivators of or above the Laying Foundation period.

Lin Luoran is not very good at it. She has folded more than fifteen thousand paper cranes before feeling the subtle connection between the crane and her.

When the paper crane flies away from her palms without the help of any spell, Lin Luoran is as shocked as how she was when cultivating her personal ability at first.

After releasing the small paper crane carrying the message, Lin Luoran takes Goldie to wander around.

Unique species in the rainforest catch the attention of Lin Luoran. She picks them along the way and puts many of them in space. There are unknown trees whose seriflux can quench thirst, wild vines full of delicious berries, and some flycatchers. She also finds some ripening wild rice. Peeled off the husk, the rice inside is turquoise. Lin Luoran has never known such kind of variety, and she transplants it into space carefully.

There is also a plant with tubers like yam and leaves larger than the leaves of the lotus. Wild boars are eating it, and Lin Luoran picks up two of them and throws them into space.

When transplanting this type of yam plant, Lin Luoran finds the “black epiphyllum” hasn’t bloomed yet since it helped her to own the ocean of consciousness a long time ago. It is one of the earliest plant residents in space. She has promoted her personal ability for more than ten years, so maybe the black epiphyllum has been here for thousands of years?

Gee... she takes a closer look at it and finds a little dot hidden in the middle of the leaf. Isn’t it a bud?

Lin Luoran rejoices to see it, but she soon feels depressed. Ice grass also had buds many years ago, but it still has not bloomed yet—it feels like an unpredictable serialized novel. Angry readers leave comments that they have not enough lifespan to see the end of the story so they can only rely on their grandsons to tell them the end in front of their tombs.

In the long run, Lin Luoran still feels confident about seeing ice grass and “black epiphyllum” blooming. She cheers herself up stealthily.

The anxious female monster Yang Lisha has not yet arrived when she finishes her stroll in the rain forest.

Lin Luoran has a feeling that time is precious and cannot be wasted in this way. Therefore, she takes out the alchemy furnace and prepares to make more boluses.

Fostering Qi Bolus and Gathering Qi Bolus are both Grade One bolus. They are not very effective for cultivators of the late Training Qi period. If Lins all advance to the Laying Foundation period, these two kinds of boluses will be more useless as candies.

The formula of Bolus given by White Fairy is limited, and the effect of several Grade Two boluses is not good enough. Lin Luoran remembers that it was the wood wolf who told her the formula of “Bone Marrow Cleansing Bolus”. Maybe it also knows something else.

She asks Goldie to go hunting on its own, and she goes into space again.

Last time Lin Luoran “cheated” wood wolf and got the formula of “Bone Marrow Cleansing Bolus”. Wood wolf is still angry about it. The hair on the wolf’s face all stands up when it hears Lin Luoran is coming for free news again.

“Well, what did you want from me last time? Now we have enough time. Why not talk about it?”

Lin Luoran is likely to have a long talk with the wolf, but the wood wolf suddenly feels guilty. After being shy like the silver fish for a long time, it still doesn’t say what it was plotting when it used Bone Marrow Cleansing Bolus to seduce Lin Luoran last time.

Fire phoenix sighs stealthily when it sees that the wood wolf is distracted again. Animals with four legs are nothing like birds with two legs. It’s too shameful that this wolf with such IQ can still be the young master of its nationality.
