Chapter 373 Being About to Leave
Lin Luoran eventually gets two new formulas of Bolus from the wolf.
The first one is the formula of Grade Two “Elementary Bolus”. It is the most effective Bolus which can strengthen foundation and Wakan for cultivators of Laying Foundation period. With its help, cultivators of Laying Foundation can adapt to the changing from Reiki to Wakan. It can also make the personal ability of the early Laying Foundation period more stable.
The second one is “Reiki Transition Bolus”, which can gather Reiki and work as a bridge. It is most effective in the little realm of the Laying Foundation period.
Lin Luoran checks the spirit medicine in space and finds that she has enough spirit herbs for Elementary Bolus; however, there are still two missing adjuvants for Reiki Transition Bolus. Truffle of Hundred Years Old Bamboo Root is one of them. Rarer than ordinary truffles, it grows in the roots of 100-year old bamboo. Lin Luoran has planted a handful of bamboos more than one-hundred-year-old in space. She digs their roots, but she doesn’t find a thing similar to it. However, she feels helpless for harvesting a few tender bamboo shoots.
Lin Luoran decides to make “Elementary Bolus” first. Anyway, she has made the Grade Four Foundation-laying Bolus, so this middle-range Grade Two bolus is nothing for her.
After bearing Essence, Lin Luoran gets continuous and stable Bolus Fire. She turns on the furnace and feels much easier than before.
She doesn’t need to concern about controlling the firepower so she can totally focus on the alchemy furnace. The success rate of Grade Two bolus she is refining is still not worse than that of Grade One bolus.
By the morning light the next day, Lin Luoran sees green mist coming towards the rain forest, and then it turns into a person when it lands. It is Yang Lisha.
Lin Luoran just gets the first stove of boluses while Yang Lisha sees the soul wood towering in the mountains. They are both very happy. Yang Lisha even walks around the soul wood a few times to make sure it is real. She turns around and smiles.
“In fact, I don’t care where you find the soul wood as long as you can get one. Now I have to take a lot of trouble with bringing it back to Rong City. Don’t you think it’s troublesome? ”
Lin Luoran is speechless. She forgot this is not a normal cultivator but a monster of grass and wood. At a glance, Yang Lisha can tell the truth of the soul wood. However, Lin still can’t just do as Yang Lisha says. If she had taken out such a large tree in Rong City, Yang Lisha would have definitely known it.
“How do you take it home?” Lin Luoran has never seen this female monster’s tricks except that she scared Lin by making some vines at the Lins’ villa. She is really curious about her.
Yang Lisha glances at her and puts two hands together to make a lotus Taoist hand gesture. The soul wood gets its roots off the ground where Lin Luoran planted it. It is a normal trick of controlling plants. However, the strange thing is the soul wood shrinks at a visible speed as Yang Lisha changes her Taoist hand gesture. After a while, this towering tree up to tens of meters becomes a vivid model with complete roots—it shrinks into a small tree with a height of one foot so Yang Lisha can hold it easily in hand.
Is this also an art of nature?
Lin Luoran can still remember the mysterious ancestor of the monsters of wood in the Tower of Babel. He shrunk Yang Lisha in his hand and made her a person again with a sigh of breath. No matter how amazing spells are, they are still the application of Reiki energy from heaven and earth. Lin Luoran can’t understand mysterious things like paper cranes or Yang Lisha’s ability.
“Don’t be too envious. Anyway, you will go to Penglai. It is said that the arts of nature are recorded in some Jade Maps there. Even thuergy which is inaccessible for the Lower Land may also be part of it.
Lin Luoran shakes her head, “I just want to find a way to shape the Taoist root for mortals. As for the arts of nature or thuergy, I can study them someday as my personal ability promotes. There is no need to hurry.”
Yang Lisha gets the soul wood in a good mood, so she tells the truth after thinking for a while, “Where did you get the news that there is a way in Mount Penglai to make mortals shape the Taoist root? If it is not true, aren’t you risking your life for nothing? ”
Lin Luoran is dumb. She was also doubtful when she got the news from the Chronicle of the Nine Provinces. However, she was convinced when she realized the Dongting Dragon Palace recorded in this travel book is real.
If... if Penglai can’t make mortals reshape the Taoist root, what should she do?
Yang Lisha sees how Lin Luoran’s look changes. She now owes Lin a favor, so she sighs and puts a bead with green light into the place between Lin’s eyebrow.
“Whether you can get what you want in Mount Penglai or not, our three pacts have been completely over. This is the way to Mount Penglai. I promise if I cheat you even a little bit, I will suffer from the thunder punishment of the Tao of nature. ”
When it comes to personal ability enhancement, promises of both cultivators and monsters can be heard by heaven, so Yang Lisha does not have to curse herself. Lin Luoran nods firmly after checking the memory bead.
Who can predict what will happen in the next second after making a decision?
She has to go to Mount Penglai so she can be a qualified child. She has to fight for the fate of her mother.
The three pacts with the female monster have been completed. She gets the message of Penglai while the female monster gets the soul wood. They both don’t want to stay in the barren mountains anymore. Yang Lisha turns into mist and leaves. Lin Luoran also returns to Rong City on the back of Goldie.
It’s only eight o’clock when she is home. Mrs. Lin has been accustomed to how mysterious her own daughter is. Mrs. Lin just normally prepares a set of cutlery for her and asks her to have breakfast as soon as possible.
Rong Donglin is still resting at home. Mrs. Lin promises Sister Rong a holiday, so the bean porridge is made by Mrs. Lin herself. Lin Luoran has two bowlfuls of porridge. After so many years, having the porridge made by her mother is still the warmest thing. Lin Luoran hopes that this porridge can always exist in her life. She wants her family to stay together and never separate.
Only two apprentices in the Lin family know the truth. Lin Luoran has not yet found a chance to tell Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin her plan.
Lin Luoran is a cautious person. She is worried that her trip will be lasting for several years, so she booked a large number of jade boxes from fatty Cui a few years ago. Now it’s finally the time to use them.
Lin Luoran picks some mature spirit herbs from space and fills more than a hundred jade boxes. Ginsengs of thousands of years old are necessary, but tuckahoes of hundreds of years old are not good enough for jade boxes. She just packs some promoting longevity spirit medicine, which can be used to make elixirs and sustain life in the critical moment. What if jade boxes run out of space? Lin Luoran has exchanged elixirs for several Storage Bags with the special department. She just packs less valuable Spirit Herbs in bags and then seals them up.
Lin Ruoran separates these spirit medicine and spirit herbs into two parts and hands them over to Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian, respectively, for safekeeping. Lin Luoran also gives the formulas of Bolus and Grade Two alchemy furnace to Yuan Ye.
“Grandmaster... ” Yuan Ye is in a bad mood. He feels as if Lin Luoran is making out her wills. He can’t relax even when he forgets this bad thought.
“You have to show me some boluses you make when I am back.”
Lin Luoran is very generous this time. She is preparing for unexpected needs, but it’s also true that she wants Yuan Ye to take this opportunity and practice his skill of making boluses. Therefore, she has plucked almost two acres of medicine. Yuan Ye is totally stunned when he sees the various Spirit Herbs and Spirit Medicine bundled in the Storage Bag.
He always knows his grandmaster is good at fostering spirit herbs, but he does not expect that he should keep such a large amount of “property”. If people in the world of personal ability knew that his grandmaster owns so many spirit herbs, some of them might go crazy and forget Lin is a person with the personal ability of Bearing Essence.
People are always blinded by their lust for property. Yuan Ye calms down and stealthily warns himself that he must be very cautious when using this batch of spirit herbs in the future.
Lin Luoran thinks about it and gives the “Introduction of Swords” to Zeng Tian.
This boy is obsessed with the Tao of the sword, so he has an eye for good things to know how extraordinary this book is. Lin Luoran secretly tells him that it is the lost art of Zu Mountain. Zeng Tian is as thrilled as his big school brother. How many good things does his young grandmaster have!
“Don’t be so happy. In fact, I hope you will not have to use it in the future. Listen, if I couldn’t return in ten years, but the Lin family was in danger, you should send the complete Introduction of Swords of Zu Mountain to Wen Guanjing. Then people of Zu Mountain will come to help, and you guys can take the Dragon Palace as a shelter! ”
Zeng Tian promises her, “Grandmaster, are you still not confident about your trip to Penglai even with your extraordinary personal ability?”
Why does she say that she can’t be back in ten years?
Lin Luoran thinks about it, “You also belong to the world of personal ability, so you should know countless Huaxia legends, and sometimes we have to regard them as truth. A woodman once watched a chess game in the mountains. When the game was over, the wooden handle of his axe had been decayed. How long do you think the game lasts? A young child once met immortals. When he went down the mountain, the hair of his childhood friends was all gray, but he still didn’t change even a little bit. It’s said that there have always been true immortals in Penglai since ancient times. There is a saying that one day in heaven equals one year in the earthly life. If I delayed for a few days there, you guys would be worried very much.”
Lin Luoran makes a lot of sense, and Zeng Tian is almost convinced.
Lin Luoran finds a chance to send Lin Luodong spells of Laying Foundation, the knowledge taught by White Fairy, and some magic circles she has known their effects.
She makes a lot of boluses and stores them in the Dragon Palace. Lin Luoran also keeps thousands of pounds of rice planted in space in the Dragon Palace. It is mid-October, and everyone gathers together in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lin Luoran toasts the wine and then tells them her plan of traveling far away.
The delicious crabs on the table suddenly become tasteless. Except for Yuan Ye, Zeng Tian and Lin Luodong, all other families knowing this news for the first time feel surprised and think that it is not a good plan.
“Ran, it is a legendary Spirit Mountain. How can mortals get there?” Mrs. Lin does not know why Lin Luoran wants to go to Penglai. She just discourages her subconsciously.
Cui Wanlu is a clever girl. Her eyes roll around; she knows that everyone doesn’t want her grandmaster to go there. She just makes herself look cute and says something as she hasn’t succeeded in Training Qi, so how can her grandmaster leave her.
Lin Luoran picks her up, “You little liar. I said I wanted to teach you a few days ago, but who is the girl haunting Luodong to be her teacher?”
Cui Wanlu is exposed. She is so embarrassed that she hides beside her father, fatty Cui.
Li Xi’er knows nothing about the sorrow of separation. Taking a crab and dealing with the crab shell, she says, “School sister, can you take me with you this time?”
Lin Luoran shakes her head, “Your personal ability is too low to go with me. If I were you, I would be ashamed of myself and start my closed-door training at home.”
Li Xi’er looks around. She ranks second after Lin Luoran in personal ability among all people here. How can she be “too low”? She is still unconvinced but suddenly says with a bitter face, “I really can’t go with you. My teacher is in his closed-door training recently. Maybe he is going to enter the Laying Foundation period. If there is no one to talk to him, old buddy Xi will never get through it.”
The teacher is later than his apprentice to enter the Laying Foundation period. This is nothing to be proud of, but Li Xi’er describes it as it is very normal. Everyone can’t help but laugh.
