“What? Are you ok, Brother Cui?” Lin Luoran is shocked. She thought that Fatty Cui accidentally hurt himself while speaking. How can she explain to Sister Wang about this?
Fatty Cui’s lips are quivering. He stares at the raw jade in his shaking hands with his eyes wide open. Looking at his contorted face, Lin Luoran affirms that he has hurt his hands. She hurries to him.
“I’m so sorry, Brother Cui, I shouldn’t have asked you to help me cut the stone…”
Fatty Cui comes to his senses and looks at Lin Luoran with fever in his eyes, “Look…Look at it!” He hands over the stone to her.
The stone is still covered in dust. Under the lamplight in the basement, Lin Luoran casts a glance at it and sees the breathtaking purple in the center of the green jade— She knows it must be a jade of high quality, but she has never imagined it to be purple!
“It’s violet!” Lin Luoran is surprised, too. She can explore jade with Reiki, but she i
The trip to Burma has been scheduled. The most impending thing for Lin Luoran to do is to adopt the young lad and to persuade her parents to move to the city.Traumas and internal injuries of the young lad are healed, so there is no reason for him to live in the hospital. Adoption needs to happen sooner.Before that, Lin Luoran has paid 20 million yuan to buy the house of Master Jia. The ownership is transferred under her name instantly. Now, as the house-owner, Lin Luoran sometimes feels unreal.After replenishing the house with more furniture and new bedding sets and doing a thorough clean-up, Lin Luoran can move in anytime.To Lin Luoran’s regret, Master Jia asked her to transfer the money for the house directly to Sister Wang, and she didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to Master Jia before he left. It has been less than a month since Lin Luoran and Master Jia knew each other. So it may be a little hypocritical to say that their
“Sister, if my son can buy a house in the city instead of being such a loser, I will laugh myself awake every night.” Aunty Li says in a loud voice.Mrs. Lin is chopping up the meat into mince, and Mr. Lin is smoking.They knew a few days ago that Lin Luoran had bought a house. Actually, they are quite proud of their daughter. However, they are still hesitating about moving to the city because they don’t want to leave their old house behind.Aunty Li has always been close to the Lin family, so Lin Luoran has invited her here to help persuade Mr. and Mrs. Lin.Lin Luoran adds, “We don’t raise any pig, and we can leave those chicken and ducks for Aunty Li to look after, along with the old house. Dad, mom, you can come back here and live for a few days any time you want… Please come with me to the city.” There is something Lin Luoran has not spoken about. In fact, she wants her parents to cultivate with her, or else, if she becomes th
Lin Luoran says that her friends are coming over. Lin Luoran has lived a hard life for a long time, and she has lost contact with most of her classmates. If she invites them over, they may think that she is showing off. Therefore, only Baojia and Sister Wang will come here.A man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses walks in behind Baojia. Isn’t that Liu Zheng?Mr. and Mrs. Lin have met Baojia before. They are aware that Baojia is nice to Lin Luoran, so they both like her much. However, seeing a gentleman like Liu Zheng, who is clearly not from the same class with them, Mr. and Mrs. Lin start to feel uneasy.Thank god Fatty Cui doesn’t come today because he is occupied, or else the golden necklace of him will be so dazzling. Wang Miao’e is rich, but she is chubby, and her skin is dark, so the high-end clothes don’t look so fancy on her. At first sight, Mrs. Lin thinks that Wang Miao’e is the same kind of people with her.Liu Zheng is
Liu Mei is the only one who is happy for Lin Luoran’s promotion. The other salesgirls are all jealous, and they keep spreading rumors that Lin Luoran is going to become the wife of their boss.Lin Luoran has no mood to care about them. She officially starts doing her new job after inviting Liu Mei and Manager Zhou to dinner as a goodbye.Purchasing is a flexible job. During the busy season, she has to go on business trips one after another, but she is usually quite free. Lin Luoran stays at home and keeps Luodong companied and goes shopping with her parents for several days so they can get acquainted with the new living environment.Luodong is over ten years old, and it is the age for him to go to elementary school. However, his autism is not cured and the whole family feels worried about leaving him alone at school. Mr. and Mrs. Lin look after Luodong for now and they have to teach him lessons at home in case he falls behind his peers. Mr. and
“Dadenghan” means big golden pond or lake in Mandarin. It is said that a long time ago, this area was one of the watercourses of the Ruili River. The high terrain resulted in a huge vortex, and after the river changed its channel, a village was gradually built on the land.Along the road, each house in the village owns a clean and spacious yard, as well as a huge backyard planted with various crops such as banana, grapefruit, and bamboo. There are traditional bamboo houses and two-story brick and timber houses. No matter what the structures are, the houses are mostly tall, tidy and bright, and Dai red couplets are pasted on the front door of some houses.Flowers and plants thrive on the fence. A bucket hangs over the stone well, proving that this affluent village still enjoys watering the field and working in the traditional way.Lin Luoran loves the environment here, and she is quite exciting along the road.Lin Luoran notices tha
“Everybody is here. Shall we begin now?” Elly is bored. She says in a cold voice while picking her long red nails.Elly grows up with all the love of her family. She is sent abroad right after graduating from high school, so she is open-minded like half an American. Besides, Fortune House used to dominate the jewelry industry in S Province. Out of the favor for his granddaughter, the chairman of Fortune House appointed Elly as the administrative manager, which makes her look down upon all the other traders in the industry.Elly is used to being arrogant. She has to own everything she likes. She acts this way every time she goes to buy raw stones, as well as when she knows that Li Anping has a girlfriend—People have been fed up with her behavior for a long time. They are just reluctant to say it.If the Burmese host doesn’t know that Fortune House is one of the most powerful companies among all the buyers, he will not stay polite to her.
Liu Zheng quietly waits for her answer.He has asked Baojia about Lin Luoran. He knows that she is only an ordinary girl. She starts to gamble on stone for the first time at Mr. Zhang’s stone-cutting plant after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend.Liu Zheng remembers that on that day, she spent 2,000 yuan and bought four raw stones. Three of them were cut open right away and contained jade… People may think it was a coincidence, but they could never imagine that the only piece Lin Luoran took away with her was the Purple-green Mix.If he didn’t happen to visit a friend on the Antique Alley, he would not have witnessed the process that Lin Luoran refined that piece of raw stone and carried it to Fatty Cui’s house.Liu Zheng looks at Lin Luoran’s side face and feels that his original intention is somehow quite despicable.What makes him change it?Is it because he saw Lin Luoran quiver when they encounter her ex-boyfriend and Elly? Or is it the dim l
Everybody is just observing in the morning and the bidding in the afternoon is the main part.They eat lunch in the farmyard like they are having a feast. Leaving the disagreements in business aside, Dai people are hospitable. The Burmese host is all right, let alone all the jade traders who deal with people all the time. All of them are having a good time.Dai people never eat overnight rice. The rice served to the guests is fresh. In the Dai culture, people have to use their hands and make rice balls while eating because they believe that this will preserve the color and fragrance of rice.People from different regions have various customs. Lin Luoran thinks that eating rice balls with hands is not inelegant but interesting, and she enjoys herself very much.There is also a crab paste called “Crab Nanmibu,” which is made by chopping crab shell and meat into mince. Dipping the rice balls into Crab Nanmibu, the Dai flavor becomes even outstanding.Excep
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
