Lin Luoran doesn’t sleep all night. Although as a cultivator, her physique is better than ordinary people, she feels tired because she has used lots of energy and Reiki to copy down the magic circle. It’s only 6 o’clock, and she has time to take a nap at the desk.
Someone knocks the door and wakes Lin Luoran up when she has just fallen asleep. Actually, it’s already 8 o’clock, which is the usual time for the Qin family to have breakfast. Lin Luoran opens the door and finds one of the housekeepers there.
“Miss. Lin, did you sleep well last night?” The housekeeper knows that Lin Luoran always gets up early, and she is surprised that Lin almost misses breakfast today.
Lin Luoran is embarrassed that she needs someone to wake her up for breakfast when she is a 27-year-old adult instead of a 17-year-old teenager.
She hurries downstairs. Commander Qin is already at the dining table, and Lu Sanchun and the other soldiers are at another
Mu Tiannan shakes his head, “You are such an unlovely woman. Can’t you ever talk nicely?”Wen Guanjing pulls Mu Tiannan aside, “Miss. Lin, you are a member of the Taoist School, and you must know what is going on in the department. We tried to protect Zou Yaowei before not because we saw human life as straw, but that we were out of options due to the short of hands.”Lin Luoran asks seriously, “The pink smoke Zou Yaowei emits is clearly wicked. Are you not picky at all?”Wen Guanjing is embarrassed, “Though his pink smoke is nothing good, it is quite powerful. Don’t you think so, Miss. Lin?”Thinking of the pink smoke which can mess with people’s mind and disable them, Lin Luoran assumes that she may be defeated last night if she doesn’t have the bead. She can’t deny that—Zou Yaowei’s pink smoke is a powerful weapon when his enemy is unguarded. Why is Wen Guanjing telling her about this?“Mr. Wen, I’m jus
Lin Luoran’s question surprises Wen Guanjing a little.He knows from her life experience that she has grown up in a more-than-normal family. However, she doesn’t act arrogantly as most people do when they suddenly become rich. She is prudent. Why is that?Still, Wen Guanjing has nothing to hide. Conspiracies are usually applied when the strength of the two parties are not comparable. The actual situation is that the gap between them and the others are so huge that others just see them as ants, therefore, it’s better to put everything above board— It is acknowledged that in the State of Huaxia, every cultivator under the level of Bearing Essence is as negligible as an ant. Wen Guanjing thinks for less than a minute and tells Lin Luoran about the plan his department made last night.“We’re hoping that your esteemed master can come to help us in the Night of Bermuda half a month later.”“Night of Bermuda” is obviously a
What thief… Mu Tiannan here is clearly out of his mind. She didn’t get those ginseng seeds by stealing, and he always talks like she did!Lin Luoran’s face is cold, which freezes the harmonious atmosphere in the room.Wen Guanjing has solved his problem and he doesn’t want to stay any longer because he may be in an awkward situation in choosing a side later. He takes his leave, “Miss Lin, I’ll just contact you later.”Commander Qin is smart and sophisticated. Mu Tiannan is not a cultivator, so there is no need to worry about Lin Luoran’s safety. He doesn’t want to involve in these two young people— To say the least, even this young lad named Mu is in love with Lin Luoran, old Qin here is not willing to talk him out. Mu is nothing like Liu Zheng. At least Liu grows up under his watch.“An old man has to walk out more. You guys talk, I will go out and exercise!” While saying, Commander Qin walks downstairs. He gives orders to the sol
Speaking of the capital, the most famous site except for the Great Wall and Temple of Heaven is Panjiayuan Market, which is also frequently brought up in novels and TV shows. In recent years, the collection craze is rising, and a bunch of collectors are still touting on shows. Panjiayuan Market is located on the southeast side of the third ring road of the capital. It used to be the largest flea market around the country, but it is now crowded by tourists and amateurs who dream of making use of the loophole — of course, they are mostly used by the loophole.However, few people know that there is stone gambling in Panjiayuan Market. Owners of some antique and jade shops will put several raw jade stones at their door to increase popularity, but only for fun. People should not hope that there is jade in those raw stones because the possibility is even lower than making use of the loophole.One morning, Dong’s Jade Store has just o
Lu Sanchun hurries to take over the two stones from Lin Luoran’s hands.Though he knows that “Miss. Lin” is strong, he can’t stand letting a woman carry such heavy things under his watch.“Miss. Lin, what do you need these stones for?” Lu Sanchun is muscular, and even he himself is having a hard time with the stone. He can’t figure out why Lin Luoran, a delicate woman, can carry them so easily.Lin Luoran smiles, “There is good stuff in the stone. You’ll see.”Lu Sanchun still can’t get it. Nevertheless, he scratches his head and carries the stone upstairs for Lin Luoran.Commander Qin doesn’t seem to be at home. Lin Luoran first goes to check on Baojia, who has stopped sweating in black. Also, Reiki inside Baojia is stable now. Thinking of the five kinds of “Taoist root” Commander Qin talks about, Lin Luoran wonders which kind does Baojia belong to.Wait, which kind of “Taoist root” does herself belong to
How hard is cultivation?In the long history of cultivation, ancestors in the high level have summarized some key points of cultivation from their life experience for the younger generation. Talent, spell, Reiki elixir, magic weapon and money — none of the five key points is dispensable if you want to stick to the path of cultivation. There is no need to say much about talent. Without the Taoist root, one can never set foot on the path of cultivation even he is rich beyond comparison. Also, the quality of one’s Taoist root determines whether he can make it to the higher levels. One in a million people may have the Taoist root. Back in the good days of cultivation, people in the level of Training Qi would not even be considered as cultivators. The gap between the level of Training Qi and Laying Foundation excluded those trainers with four or five natures out of the real world of cultivation if they didn’t have some good luck.
Lin Luoran has known about her quality through practicing the Fire Ball spell, and she doesn’t have the mood to study the magic circle for now. Also, the mysterious phoenix hairpin may be dangerous.Lin Luoran now can only work with the two raw stones she has bought.She has promised Mu Tiannan to give him refined jade. She never plans to cut the raw stone open, so she just uses the bead as the converter of Reiki and refines the restless smoke inside of the raw stone into peaceful and absorbable Reiki — Lin Luoran is certain that this is the easiest way to get rich if she isn’t afraid of being beaten up by other cultivators when things are exposed. Imagining herself being captured by other cultivators and being forced to make refined jade for them, Lin Luoran trembles and comforts herself that she doesn’t need too much money, instead, the freedom and her life are the most important. Lin Luoran calls Mu Tiannan and informs him t
“Master, welcome back!” As Mu Tiannan stops the car in front of a villa in European style, a bunch of girls in maid outfit come out and greet him all with one voice. Lin Luoran has a vague feeling that she is about to have a mental meltdown…Master! Maid outfit! I¥%¥…!Mu Tiannan notices that Lin Luoran is annoyed so he hurries to shoot a glance at those naughty girls in order to tell them to go away. He smiles awkwardly, “This is where I live. My grandpa lives up on the hills and he barely goes out. I’m afraid that we have to walk to him.” So, she comes here to save a life and she has to carry the stone up to the hills? Although Lin Luoran is benign, she feels a little displeased. Unlike Liu Zheng who is a careful observer, Mu Tiannan doesn’t notice Lin’s displeasure at all.After all, Lin Luoran is an adult and she can’t just leave. She gets off the car, asks Mu Tiannan to carry the stone and heads to the hills. T
