Autumn is almost gone. The fat crabs still taste perfect, yet leaves on trees have turned yellow. After a gust of wind, yellow leaves fall and cover the ground. Winter is coming.
The cyan little fox has started to pull out grass and make its own nest. However, there is not much grass in the backyard so it has to make do with bamboo leaves fallen on the island.
It’s already winter and most of the animals living in the mountains seldom go out. This makes it harder for Goldie to hunt for food. Mr. Lin has been thinking about whether he should buy some beef from the market to feed Goldie. One day, he sees Goldie grabbing a big snake. From the mud on its claws, Mr. Lin knows that Goldie has just dug into the snake’s cave.
“Pah!” Goldie throws the snake to Mr. Lin. Ms. Lin screams. In a hurry, Mr. Lin casts a “Bound Spell”. Since he is not skilled in this spell, Mr. Lin almost uses up all his wood Reiki to strap this big snake which weighs over ten
Lin Luoran slices down a piece of a two-meter-long shell of the Scorpion King to do an experiment. After refined by the Strange Fire, the shell gradually melts into a pile of shiny black liquid. It is floating above the Strange Fire and changing its shape.After being refined, the two-meter-long raw material becomes one bowl of black liquid. It is the essence of the scorpion shell. The three months she spent is not wasted. She has designed a set of methods for refining armors after she completed the broken magic circle and studied the chapter of refining weapons in Introduction of Swords many times.She puts a lot of pieces of jade next to her and sits near the Strange Fire.Several translucent lights appear between her fingers. They connect her fingers and they target at the liquid scorpion shell.Lin Luoran recalls her design for the armor and controls the light. She uses the light to pull and shape the black liquid carefully.
When Lin Luoran gives the armor to her mother like giving her a treasure, she doesn’t receive her mother’s compliment. Instead, Mrs. Lin pulls her ears.“How dare you! You didn’t accompany your family at the Spring Festival. You have been in your basement since last October. Our bamboo shoots have grown from being eatable to real bamboos and then you come out… Luodong got the highest score in his school this term. He has waited for you for the whole vacation. We live in the same yard. Do you mean that even if your dad and I want to see you, we have to make an appointment first?”Lin Luoran’s ears are red. When she was five, she let go of their neighbor’s chickens and her mother pulled her ears like this. This “pulling ears” has been accompanied her as she grows up. However, when she gets older, Mrs. Lin doesn’t do this very often. It seems that she is really angry this time.“Mom, please be gentle…” Lin Luoran hides behind her father, just like
Sitting on Goldie’s back, Lin Luoran reaches the mountains behind Li’s Village soon. She asks Goldie to hover above the mountains and looks for the mountain where she found the black epiphyllum. After finding out the right mountain, she directs Goldie to land on the top of the mountain.The cyan fox is hanging on Goldie’s claw and the wind has tangled its fur. When it lands, it cannot move its limbs at first. When it can move, the cyan fox makes faces to Lin Luoran and runs into the grass nearby.Lin Luoran knows that it likes flowers and grass and it cannot stay with her now that they are in a mountain full of plants, so she just lets it play. She goes to the cliff and sees that the bluestone is still inset in the mountain.Lin Luoran casts a “Wind-riding Spell” and flies down. She tries to move the bluestone but it is deeply inset there. She couldn’t do anything before but now she is a cultivator in the level of Laying Foundation. She casts a
What should she tell Rong Donglin?Out of Lin’s expectation, Rong doesn’t even know Goldie’s name. He only worries about the safety of the Lin family because such a big hawk lives in their house. Lin Luoran remembers Rong’s stiffness every time when he sees Goldie and she has no doubt on the authenticity of his worries. At night, Mr. Lin makes a few dishes with the bamboo shoots. Rong Donglin loves these dishes so much that he feels that he has gained more energy for the translation of the bamboo sheets. The starlight today is a little dim. However, Lin is still in a good mood.It’s 11 o’clock. Rong has returned to his bedroom. Lin’s backyard is now quiet and peaceful under the moonlight.This place will become more beautiful. Lin Luoran speaks to herself when she thinks of the bluestone in her space. Lin first goes to check on the little cyan fox. It is lying in its nest, completely motionless, but its breath
The Li’s Village has already become a remote memory for Lin Luoran. The path of cultivation is rough, and she doesn’t have time to think about Li Anping and his family.Rong Donglin’s translation project is going on smoothly. Lin Luodong is back home from school early today and he comes to the bamboo cabin to do his homework. Lin Luoran is fine with Luodong and Rong spending time together. After all, Rong is trust-worthy in terms of moral quality and professional knowledge.Lin Luoran comes up with an idea when she sees that Luodong is interested in the Shui script. If Luodong decides to step on the path of cultivation later, he will be in need of knowledge about these ancient scripts. Lin Luoran may as well let Luodong study the Shui script with Rong Donglin from now on. In this way, Luodong will start to lay a foundation from an early age… Even if Luodong doesn’t choose to cultivate, knowledge will never be a bad thing. Lin Luoran leaves the
Rong Donglin has a feeling that the air around Lin’s house has become fresher lately. Between breathes, Rong’s mind and eyes are clear. His translation proceeds even more quickly. Mr. Lin has a more direct feeling about this. He can feel the Reiki molecules in the air. The willow by the lake grows so fast that its young twigs reach the lake in a few days. Lin Luoran is desperate to read Rong’s translation. However, she has to hold back her desire because something else is on her mind. She has to deal with something before going to find the Soul Wood. Lin Luoran tells her mother that she will be out for a few days. Ms. Lin is practicing the Five-animal exercises and she says nothing but to tell Lin Luoran to come back sooner.Mr. Lin only realizes that his daughter is out when she is already away. He wants to ask his wife about this but Ms. Lin’s attention is caught by the television. The journalist is talking about
“Master, you and the other Buddhist cultivators have lived beyond the world for so many years. Have you ever thought about returning?”…“Amitabha. Master, there is a great merit out here waiting for you. It’s all up to you.”…“I’m here because of selfish motives, but I do feel pity for the others.”…Sitting in the tearoom, Lin Luoran talks with Master Puji with sincerity. Puji looks kind and nice. Lin is sure that he must have been moved. Back in time, when Buddhism was prosperous, the Buddhist cultivators almost had the world. Lin Luoran doesn’t belong to any schools so she has no problem with the competition between the Buddhist and the Taoist cultivators. The Taoist pursues perception and Reiki, and the Buddhist pursues faith and will-power. The Taoist and the Buddhist are so different that they should not even try to suppress each other. Today, the world of cultivation ha
Although it is early March, Lin Luodong, standing in the square, feels that his mouth is dry. In just a few seconds, he feels as if he had been confronted with the snake for several years. Holding the stick, his hands cannot help shaking.Rong Donglin and Yan Feng are older than Luodong, but they are just ordinary college students, and they are atheists with scientific world view. It is the first time that they have seen such an unnatural snake that grows bigger and bigger in the wind. They are terrified and confused — is it the monster in American movies or a monster in the legend of Huaxia?Compared with the extremely excited news presenter, only the three boys, who have no way out in front of the snake, feel helpless and frightened. The snake seems to be teasing them — it shakes its tail and twists its body but doesn’t actually hurt them.RTV II has many local audiences. Plus, it is not hearsay but real picture from the scene. It even sparks
Many years later, Mu Tiannan will still remember how gloomy and desperate he is in these three days.Liao once said that he did not know the background of the man in robe. The man in robe is always smiling and he has an ordinary face. His face is like to be covered with mist so that people can never remember how he looks and what his name is. However, he is definitely very powerful—he was even the reason why earth cultivators began their cultivation in the first place.He was a master in the primitive era. No one has the nerve to even think of being his enemy.Before she is "Lin Luoran", she has spent time with the man in robe for much longer years than the hundreds of years when he knew her as “Lin Luoran”.Moreover, he and Lin Luoran get along with only about one hundred years.With all kinds of feelings, Lin Luoran comes back three days later. The man in robe also follows her back.Mu Tiannan notices th
Lin Luoran and her father are reunited finally. Their emotions are still out of control after a long time. Mu Tiannan knows that Lin Luoran has been missing her family silently. When she stops crying and completely calms down, he asks about the whereabouts of other members of the Lins and Grandpa Mu. The Mu family suffered heavy losses in the Earth Defense War back then. However, when he separated from his family in the Tower of Babel, his grandfather and several cousins were still alive. Grandpa Mu had protected his offspring for family's future. Called "Qin Xiaojiu" at that old age, Gebu realizes “the suspicious criminal” is actually the daughter of Mr. Lin. Therefore, he serves tea for them continuously, trying to change his image in the mind of Lin and Mu. Hearing Mu Tiannan's question, Mr. Lin wipes his tears embarrassingly. He says to Qin Xiaojiu, "Hurry up! Go to inform the Mu family that their third child is back!"
Zhu Qi accidentally gets the Jade Map which sends a message from Sword School. The message is not widely spread in Lanhu Star. Everyone has his or her own unique skills. Zhu Qi with street smarts also has his own tricks, even though he is just an individual cultivator. He duplicates the message in Jade Map in his own special way. Wen Guanjing took Sword School to Tiankui Star but he didn’t find Lin Luoran. Prophet god school released the news earlier so many people were keeping an eye on Lin Luoran. No matter how powerful Sword School was, they still couldn’t defeat the enemy that overnumbered them. They couldn’t let others know they were looking for Lin Luoran, so they did everything secretly. Lin Luoran always regards Wen Guanjing as her friend. Mu Tiannan feels so jealous when he sees Linny’s lifelike portrait on Jade Map. Later on, he is acting like a child. Lin Luoran is not a very considerate person but she still notices it.
Wearing a white lotus Taoist robe and a pair of pink satin shoes, Xin Yuanping is surrounded by several beautiful nuns with a black lotus in her hand. Wind is blowing the white silk hairband she wears. At the first glance, she looks like a master Taoist. When she sees Lin Luoran clearly, she has a bigger smile. Her dignified and holy face becomes vivid and charming, eclipsing several beautiful nuns. “School Brother An!” Xin Yuanping smiles and An also smiles, which makes Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan laugh. Xin Yuanping smiles because she thinks her School brother An is really clever. He invites Lin Luoran here to shoot fish in a barrel. An’s smile is very interesting. Having known everything, he can use cultivators as chess pieces to play a game which he has designed for many years. Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan laugh because Xin Yuanping doesn’t even know that she is about to face her imminent death.
Many years ago, a young Taoist with a baby face opened the door of Qingcheng Villa, calling her “School Sister Lin”. He was not her younger school brother. However, at that time, there was a popular BBS website called ““Tribe for Cultivators” in the World of Cultivation of Huaxia. A group of young training Qi cultivators from Huaxia all called her “School Sister Lin”. Later on, she laid Foundation in Jinling. When she reappeared, she was “Lin Luoran” rather than “School Sister Lin”. She became a senior master, and few young cultivators dared to hang out with her. As the master of Qingcheng Taoist Temple, Hui Zhu was nice to Lin Luoran in the beginning. Without Xin Yuanping, their relationship would not be so embarrassing. Hui Zhu chose to take Qingcheng Taoist Temple apprentices to live a sequestered life for a hundred years as an answer to the world of personal ability enhancement in Huaxia. In this way, he could protect Xin Y
Zhixiu has already decided to deal with the trouble on the Hasa Star. It is related to his accomplishment in Buddhism for several generations, so Lin Luoran cannot express her opinions casually. The strong perfume at the source of the Luoye River reminds them of the rat monster and its Hasa Mi Sect, which makes them disgusted. Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan have decided to leave through the interstellar transmission circle. Thousands of demons, trapped on the top of the tree, are guardians who protect the interstellar transmission circle. Zhixiu opens a channel among the demons for Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan. He also checks the magic circle. Fortunately, it is still working. Lin Luoran knows nothing about the second-rate spiritual world. Zhixiu was chased by the Yinshan School all the way and came to this Hasa Star by accident. They have no idea about the coordinates of teleportation destinations. After entering the transmission circle, Mu Tiannan
Mu Tiannan pinches the red light ball with disgust. When he speaks, he even squeezes it hard. The rat monster really wants to vomit a mouthful of blood again. When the rat monster is distracted, Lin Luoran finally seizes the chance. She uses her fingers as a pen and catches the pulse of “fire” swiftly—a golden word figure has been written. The fire is ignited everywhere, and then it forms a cocoon. The rat monster is trapped. In fact, “Thunder” is the best to deal with monsters. However, Lin Luoran herself is a person with Divinization personal ability but has not yet passed the doom. She doesn’t dare to summon purple lightning—maybe before it smashes the rat monster, she has to go through the “Divinization Doom”. Golden word figures are derived from the Great Truths, which is the most orthodox inheritance of the man in the robe. Every time she studies them carefully, she always gets enlightened. The word “fire” written by Lin
Marking the primordial spirit with Buddhism secret ability and going to a lower world to possess and cultivate to be a Buddha— For such kind of behavior, Mu Tiannan and Lin Luoran both think it is really scary. What kind of Buddha he is? What the rat monster does today is totally a demonized trick. He must eavesdrop the secrets of Buddhism—and knows the Tao proved by gods and Buddhas is closely related to the power of faith. Messages from the eavesdropping are always incomplete. If one can become a Buddha by fooling people to get the power of faith, then gods and Buddhas really mean nothing. Lin Luoran apotheosized herself. At that time, she had good timing, geographical convenience, and good human relations. Without the gold ware and the gold stamp from heaven, she can never deify herself. Gods and Buddhas are not equal to "immortals". If cultivators are enlightened by the Tao of nature, they can naturally become immortals. However, gods an
A beam of faint red light suddenly appears in the dark place ahead. Everyone feels disgusted immediately. Lin Luoran goes down the direction of the red light and controls the disgusting feeling in her heart. This time, they pass through the black fog quickly. Zhixiu stretches out his right palm, and a great force pulls in the three people inside the white light circle. When the light circle reappears, they can't directly look at the dazzling red light. Lin Luoran tries her best to open her eyes. She finds that they are suspending in the air surrounded by the white circle. They are now standing on the source of red light. Fire is blazing, and there are countless twisting and groaning phantoms in the flames. With a closer check, they realize that the phantoms are beautiful young women. They look extremely painful, but they only shout and struggle in silence. The fire is burning without a sound. The scene is scarier than the scene
