Lin Luoran leaves some refined jades at home and stores most of them in her space. After all, the jades are no longer trashes in those cultivators’ eyes. They become spirited, which means that Lin has to store them safely. Wealth always brings about disaster. It is always good to keep a low key.
Luodong has been excited these days because Lin Luoran has promised to take him to the capital!
In fact, going to the capital is not what makes Luodong so excited. Though he is interested in the trip, he looks forward to being with Lin Luoran. Luodong is sentimentally attached to Lin Luoran. Baby birds always regard the first creature they see as their mother. Luodong almost has the same feeling for Lin Luoran.
Luodong is thrilled that Lin Luoran has arranged the trip especially for him.
Days go by in Luodong’s expectation. Their day of departure finally arrives.
Mrs. Lin hates to part with her daughter. Mrs. Lin feels blue
Lin Luoran brings Luodong to the villa on the Fragrant Hills.In the cottage room, Lin Luoran lays ten “Circulation boluses” on the table. Master Guo, a straightforward man, gets excited,“What are you doing…? I don’t want your boluses!” Lin Luoran nods smilingly but refuses to take back these boluses. After she closed the trade and said that she wouldn’t make any more in the near future, the “Circulation Bolus”, which is able to save a life, has become priceless. Some people who traded with Lin Luoran before are reselling these boluses in order to make high profit. They say that Lin Luoran lost on the deals, but Lin knows for sure that she didn’t. Of course, she will be able to build connections with the Burmese jade traders, or maybe become the secret owner or shareholder of a mine. In this way, Lin will never be short of jade.However, business will waste her time of cultivation. Also, she has to sell the boluse
Zou Guojun is the only direct descent alive of the Zou family. A few of his distant relatives work as high-level officials in the government, but they only get their job with the help of the Zou family. These people are actually powerless.Lin Luoran reviews the information on the Zou family in her head. After hearing that she has come to the capital, Chen Yun went through a lot of troubles and sent her this information. Chen Yun clearly wants to show his goodwill. This is such a bureaucratic move. No wonder he can’t enter the level of Laying Foundation… Lin burns the materials into ashes and looks at Mr. and Mrs. Zou through the window. Grass will grow again if you don’t dig up the roots. No close relative. Good. Though she must revenge, Lin Luoran doesn’t want to kill innocent people. God observes everything everyone is doing. Lin may vent her anger through a massacre. However, if she does so, what is her difference from Zou Yaowei, a bul
Seeing that Lin Luoran doesn’t make any response, the middle-aged Taoist nervously takes out a tattered book and hands it out to her. Lin Luoran takes the book and looks through the pages carelessly. The book is indeed the instruction of “Breath-holding Spell”. Lin doesn’t let down her defense because the Taoist’s level of cultivation is low. She uses Wakan to turn the pages, instead of touching the book directly with her hands.“Senior…” The middle-aged man says cautiously. Lin Luoran closes the book and asks, “What is your relationship with the Zou family?”The man tells Lin his friendship with Old Mr. Zou. As a matter of fact, he doesn’t even know Zou Guojun very well. He only comes to help Zou Guojun fight an “amateur cultivator” because of his respect for Old Mr. Zou as well the benefits Zou Guojun promised to give. Lin Luoran says nothing. After explaining himself, the Taoist swears on the Devil Inside in or
Luodong has experienced three different kinds of flying in his life.When he was seven or eight years old, Luodong was such a shy boy. On Goldie’s back, he clenched his fists because of the tension. He was curious and nervous while looking down at Mount Qingcheng from the mid-air. Luodong remembered that he almost forgot to breathe back then. Flying on a plane was a completely different experience. Clouds blocked his view. The blue sky was peaceful. Luodong always wanted to roll on the clouds and have a good sleep there. Riding on Goldie’s back and on a plane were both comfortable and unmanly. Unlike now!Lin Luodong is standing on the front part of the Bright Sword. A light dome is around him and Lin Luoran. The fresh air in the mid-air is so energizing after being filtered by the light dome. The dome is also able to keep the strong wind out. It is indeed a necessity of flying!Luodong believes that h
Sleeping on the train is uncomfortable. Mostly, all the passengers wake up by the noise at six or seven o’clock in the morning. Lin Luoran didn’t sleep all night. She has hoarded so many refined jades in her space. All she has to do is to take one out and hold it in her palm. In this way, Lin can cultivate herself on the train, where there is nothing but turbid air.Rong Donglin wakes up and sees that the “sister” is lying on the bunk across to his and looking through a magazine. They are on a slow train, and they will arrive at Xi’an at 4 pm. Rong has no more instant noodles — what should he do? Luodong’s sister seems to be so solitary. Even he wants to help them very much, there is nothing that he can do. When Rong is struggling, Luodong wakes up. After cleaning himself, Luodong starts to talk with Rong Donglin. During their conversation, Rong obtains more information about Luodong and his sister. They come from R City. They got on this
100 miles east from Xi’an, there is Huayin City. The city neighbors the Weihe River plain and the Yellow River in north and the Qinling Mountains in south. There is a granite mountain on the north side of the Qinling Mountains range. Of course, only people who are familiar with geography know the detail. Most people only have heard of the name of the mountain. The Weihe River plain is only over 300 meters above sea level, and the mountain is 1700 meters high. It is grand, steep, and eminent… Lin Luoran read about the descriptions online. This is her first impression on Mount Hua. Huaxia language is magical. People can compose the image of a splendid mountain with a few words. Of course, no word can fully describe that breath-taking feeling of standing by the foot of the mountain. This feeling becomes intense at night. It is 10 pm, the best time to climb Mount Hua. Lin Luodong is staring the crowded mountain with
I can’t give up!Lin Luodong grits his teeth. His backpack is so heavy that he is having a hard time breathing. It rained just now, and the iron chain by the stairs is slippery. Though Luodong is wearing gloves specially made for climbing, he feels that he may fall any second. He is so tired. He can’t even lift his legs and his hands are definitely swollen. He is struggling every step he takes. The stairs on Mount Hua seem to be endless. Lin Luoran walks slowly and easily a few steps in front of Luodong. Luodong feels like that a string is connecting himself with his sister, which makes it impossible for him to give up. “Kid, is your bag heavy? Do you need my help?”The sudden rain has sent away most of the tourists. Lin Luoran and Luodong almost reach the peak, so there are not many people around them. They actually walk quite fast. At this speed, Luodong is physically tired. His pale little face ar
“Who’s that?”Zhang Shuming is the first who comes back to himself though his eyes are drifting. Zhang has been in love with Xia Bingyan for years. His persistence origins from the fact that he never wins her love, as well as the reality that Xia’s beauty is stunning. Most men are visual creatures. Zhang is stunned when he sees Lin Luoran. Zhang is not the only one who is standing in amazement. Xia Bingyan’s coldness is mostly arrogance due to the pursuit of lots of boys. Xia’s temperament is nothing like Lin’s. Xia is proud of her appearance and she becomes insolent and supercilious. This is also the reason why Xia turns up her nose at the picture Pei Yuan posted. She believes firmly that the picture was a fake which Pei Yuan posted to create a topic. However, the woman in the picture is right here in front of her eyes!Xia Bingyan can’t fully understand what mood she is in. She is just glad that her baseball hat has covered mos
