Chapter 466: The Reunion After Hundreds of Years

Burning wet wood fire creates a lot of smoke on which people are choking. If Lin Luoran didnt blow most of the smoke out, those inside the cave could have become human-shaped bacon. However, except for Lin Luoran and Ma Yiming, the rest still get their faces and hands dirty. After all, they have no idea how to do housework.

This embarrassing experience brings them closer. While it keeps raining heavily outside, meat in the clay crock has already smelt great. Wild pork is very chewy. You can roast it or cook it in a crock. It is especially delicious with some tender fern stems that Lin Luoran found in the monster forest. Stewed in summer, this healthy dish warms up your heart with the fresh bitterness lingering in your mouth.

Beneath the campfire is a thin layer of soil. The taro dug up by Ma Yiming and Colin is buried right there. Feeling the stew is almost done, Lin Luoran pulls out the taro with a branch.

Growing up in the countryside of Huaxia before the New Era, Lin Luorans generation used to throw potatoes, sweet potatoes, and taro into the fire while the adults were burning wheat stalks. When the fire died down, the food was also well-cooked. She remembers the potatoes were crispy, the sweet potatoes were yummy, and the taro were soft Lin distributes the black taro to the crew. Try this. Its delicious.

The key to camping is to be as natural as possible. Lin Luoran doesnt take out the utensils but cuts down a large bamboo nearby. The bamboo tube and sticks are used as bowls and chopsticks. Eating the wild pork stew with peeled burnt taro, they have a delicious and satisfying meal.

Another bowl of stew!

Judith wolfs the meal down. A few taros are far from enough for his appetite. The rest of them only have a bowl of stew before he swallows the whole thing.

there is still some ash on Windsors cheeks. Touched by the warm atmosphere, she doesnt pull Judiths ears as usual.

Along with the aroma of food, they happily chat with each other about everything.

Having finished her share of taro, Han Weiya lowers her head. Lin Can I call you aunt like Shuangshuang does? If you didnt take me out, I would never have lived such a happy life.

Lin Luoran looks down. Dont they live like fugitives? Even she is eager to go back to her hometown, not to mention Han Weiya. Han is just a little girl who has never left her loved ones since childhood and has never suffered.

Yet the girl looks at her with her shy but determined eyes. Why not let the girl call her aunt? Its just an address. Lin Luoran nods. Han Weiya smiles and hands out something. Aunt, this is my gift for you.

A navy-blue stone lies in her fair palm. Two inches long and two fingers wide. Its the 10000-year Hollow Azurite.

Do you know how valuable this thing is?

Han Weiya nods. It turns into reiki with elixirs. This is the most wanted reiki mine for elixir makers.

Windsor and her brother are confused. How can that small stone be a valuable treasure?

Lin Luoran understands. Han Weiya is innocent, but shes not silly. Instead, Han is pretty smart, for she offers the stone deliberately in front of others in case Lin Luoran rejects her. It may seem improper, yet its a perfect time.

The girl doesnt intend to force her. She just doesnt want to be rejected.

Lin Luoran looks at Han Weiyas eyes. She seems admiration, desire, anxiety, and trust, but no panicShe is determined to give Lin the 10000-year Hollow Azurite. Lin Luoran has no idea who told her about that stone.

However, because of Han Weiya, Lin Luoran finally makes up her mind.

Lin Luoran takes the stone from Han Weiya. The 10000-year Hollow Azurite in her palm is icy cold. Lin Luoran smiles. Maybe Im a pretty greedy aunt. Since I have this azurite, could you also give me a Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir?

Of course! There are only a few relics from the Danling Taoist. Han Weiya has always taken with her the Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir. Hearing that Lin Luoran needs it, she hands the whole bottle to Lin Luoran without thinking.

Yet Lin Luoran only takes one and returns the jade bottle to the girl.

Keep it in mind. When I find Nolan Mancia, I will build the Taoist root for you, so that you can use your personal ability!

Except for the Windsors, who doesnt know about personal ability?

New to the world of cultivation, the Ma siblings are shocked. Growing up familiar with cultivation, Han Weiya, who have received the doctrines of Danling Taoist in her dream, is also surprised.

Colin Weir is jealous. Those who are not from Huaxia can never have the Taoist root to cultivate. Its destined that only a small group of people can evolve by cultivation. But it also makes their civilization decline. The rise of technological civilization on the other hand conforms to the laws of nature. Its not about individual evolution, but the progress of the entire planet and civilizationHe has reached a lot of information. But Colin has never heard that a cultivator can shape the Taoist root for others!

He immediately recalls the other identity of Lin Luoran: Mortal Heart Fairy, the guardian of Dongting. Is it true that this girl he gets along with is an immortal in Huaxia legend?

What are you talking about? Its all mine if you dont want to eat the stew!

Judith speaks with his mouth full. His words break the silence.

Lin Luoran glances at him and suddenly smiles at Windsor. There is a saying in my hometown that eating is a blessing. Your brother is a blessed person.

Windsor doesnt know why she changes the topic so fast. Colin Weir knows that compared to this savvy princess, Lin Luoran likes the foodie prince more.

Eating is a blessing.

The bonfire is still burning. Many of them fall asleep against the rock wall. Snoring in his sleep, Judith makes Lin Luoran keep smiling.

When everyone is asleep, Lin Luoran wakes up Ma Shuangshuang and Ma Yiming.

She shushes them and lets the siblings follow her out.

As the rain lets out, Lin Luoran brings the siblings to climb towards the top of the mountain. With the Taoist root of two elements, Ma Shuangshuang feels alright soon. After her early phase of Training Qi, shes already got better eyesight and hearing. As she can see things in the dark, climbing is not that tiresome. However, Ma Yimings Taoist root is pretty weak. He finds it hard to follow Lin Luoran once she speeds up.

Moving forward on a rainy night, Ma Yiming doesnt complain a word. He stumbles but never lags behind.

Their clothes have been drenched. Ma Yimings vital energy and blood were surging when they started. However, climbing at such a speed, all sounds of life disappear. He only hears his heartbeats.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

From anxious to calm, Ma Yiming feels the circulation of breath in his chest. His pores open, greedily taking in oxygen. Rushing forward, he calms down. Its amazing how his body has changed. Ma Yiming could only feel a sense of Qi before, but now he feels Reiki molecules with oxygen flowing into his pores.

The night has become a colorful world in his eyes.

Green, blue, black, gold There is wood, water, soil. Even gold is buried under the mountains. There is no Fire Reiki molecule in the forest in the rainy night. Tonight belongs to Ma Yiming.

Lin Luoran leads the way in front of them. As she moves, she steps on the spot with the richest Reiki. That is why the siblings following behind feel so different.

Wood means life. The siblings with wood Taoist Root are being nourished by the rain.

Rain falls into a stream and penetrates the depths of the soil. Ma Shuangshuang feels shes like a pine tree on the mountain, watered by the rain and deeply rooted in the soil.

Her Taoist Root has both wood and earth elements. According to the traditional theory of five elements, wood restrict earth, while water generates earth. Is it possible that people believe in the inter-restriction between the five elements because they havent found the delicate balance between wood and earth? These two elements with greater power may restrict each other, yet with less power, they can also coexist. Besides, the rainwater falls to reconcile everything. Such a special night belongs to Ma Yiming, and also Ma Shuangshuang who has a Taoist Root of two elements.

She feels her Reiki surging inside. It is looking for a way out!

How can she use it?

Ma Shuangshuangs confused. Suddenly, the rain gets heavier, and the wind much stronger. It turns out that she has followed Aunt Lin to the summit.

At night, the Maple Leaf City is visible. The dim lights sway in the rain.

She hears Lin Luorans slow and powerful voice. Yiming, open your mind. Feel the Reiki in the world. Recite the breathing method in your mind.

Ma Yiming leans on a pine tree. He immerses himself in this rainy night in the most comfortable posture.

Shuangshuang, remember my Taoist hand gesture.

Taoist hand gesture. Ma Shuangshuangs a bit surprised. Is it the Spells of the Five Elements she has been practicing?

Lin Luoran has long and flexible fingers. Under the raindrops, they look like pieces of jade. Lin raises her right hand and puts her thumb on the first knuckle of her index finger. Her little finger then touches her thumb Ma Shuangshuang cant help following Lins move. Every time she changes the gesture, Lin Luorans fingertips seem to pinch the Reiki. It makes the entire set of hand gestures full of indescribable beauty.

Having finished thirty-six sets of Taoist hand gestures, Lin Luoran has green lights concentrated in her fingertips. What she does is a simple Wood spell, but it inspires Ma Shuangshuang who has studied the Spells of the Five Elements for a long time.

She is like Li Xier in the past. Overprotected since her childhood, Ma Shuangshuang is pure and innocent. At the beginning of improving personal ability, she performed better than others. Because it is easier for an innocent girl to sense the Reiki molecules, Ma Shuangshuangs early phase of cultivation was smooth enough to make her brother Ma Yiming jealous.

So after being woke up, Ma Shuangshuang couldnt help but follow Lin Luorans gestures. While the green light is still on Lin Luorans fingertips, Ma Shuangshuang has made the last Taoist hand gesture. Soon afterward, Reiki surges inside her body, venting from her fingertipsA beam of green light appears. Ma Shuangshuang points her finger at a mushroom under the tree. The green light flashes in, followed by many spores shooting from the mushroom.

Only with high personal ability can one master the Wood spells to attack.

But Lin Luoran thinks that Ma Shuangshuang has already done a good job.

Ma Yiming has got a peaceful state of mind. It seems he has been sleeping.

Ma Shuangshuang is obsessed with the new spell. Lin Luoran jumps on the top of a pine tree, feeling the summer rain with her eyes closed.

None of them has wasted the night. Lin Luoran doesnt open her eyes and jump from the tree until early morning.

The rain has stopped. Everything in the forest is washed and refreshed. Dewdrops lie on the pine needles, bamboo leaves, and flowers. Mushrooms rushing out of the soil in clusters.

After a night of self-cultivation, the siblings of the Ma family feel refreshing.

Randomly picking up some mushrooms and edible wild berries, they quickly return to the cave.

Those in the cave have woken up long ago. A fan of outdoor activities, Colin has taken them to wash their face using rainwater collected in low-lying rocks. Cold water poured on the face washes off their fatigue immediately. Looked closely at the day, their clothes are full of mud spots. Windsor bursts into laughter and practices a set of martial art.

Lin Luoran boils mushroom congee as breakfast. The left wild pork can not be wasted. Judith offers to carry the raw pork down the mountain.

It is said that going uphill is easier than going downhill. But the slippery muddy road is not a problem for them.

When they arrive at the raging river, where the rainwater converges, Lin Luoran raises her hand to release the skeleton ship. She laughs at Duke Chiaos naive idea and brings the stunned Windsor siblings into the boat. The boat is just big enough to hold the crew.

Making a hand gesture, Lin takes them ashore easily. Windsor whispers. Im sending you to Ms. Mancia now.

She speaks with a firm voice. Winsor doesnt seem to come up with the idea all of a sudden, nor is she afraid that Lin Luoran will go back on her promise once she meets Mancia. Windsor just realizes that, even without her help, Lin Luoran can still find anyone in the Nami Star. Its only a matter of time.

Even though Ms. Mancias residence is a bit remote.

Lin Luoran nods. She turns around and says to the others. Follow me.

Accompanied by so many people, Lin Luoran doesnt admit that she gets afraidIs she afraid that Nolan Mancia isnt Baojia?

No. She has an instinct. Even Nolan Mancia is not Baojia, she can find Baojia by meeting this person.

If one wants to hurry up, there is a very fast classic car on the Nami Star. The car consumes little energy, exhausts no gas, and goes fast. Seated in the car, one can drive on hills and in the sea comfortably.

For the first time, Lin Luoran sees an amphibious car . The technological gap between the two stars cuts deep.

They drive north for a day and get off. After walking across a sandy hill, they finally come to a green valley.

A cool and familiar flow of air. That is Reiki!

Lin Luoran almost bursts into tears. The magic circle fluctuates in the valley. As Windsor throws her token into the valley, the mist suddenly rises. Even with her cleared eyes, Lin Luoran cant peep into the valley.

But the cottage that she sees at a glance is clearly in the style of the Huaxia ancient architecture. She is more and more convinced that the master of the valley is Baojia.

Lin is anxious. However, there hasnt been any response since the token was thrown in.

Windsor says Nolan Mancia is a loner and things like this have happened before. Since Windsors wedding ceremony is approaching, she needs time to get prepared and cancel it. Lin Luoran asks her to go back.

Leaving everyone outside the valley, Lin Luoran decides to go alone.

She is not helpless. White Fairy gets the 10000-year Hollow Azurite. She will help Lin if theres any problem. The white mist in this valley, for example, is an illusion circle.

White Fairy is good at casting illusion spells and she is also in the form of a soul. Dealing with this illusion circle is not difficult for her.

The key to an illusion spell is to cover up the truth with falsehood. It intends to convince you with a lie. However, as long as you remember why you start it, you will find the circle core and go out.

Into the illusion, there are gentle traps everywhere.

As if traveling back in time, Lin Luoran sees the Lin family three hundred years ago, having a good time in their courtyard.

Koi fish plays in the water. The cyan fox is upset about something. Goldie looks proud. Luodong is still a cute kid. Huang Weijian is a silent teenager. Mr. Lin just returns after fishing. He has caught a lot of fish today. Mrs. Lin is gentle and beautiful. She looks way younger. That was the best time of the Lin family. Everything was just perfect. The illusion comes from ones heart, while Lin Luorans heart is empty. She knows this is an illusion, but why cant she wake up?

Remember why you start it White Fairy sighs aside. She feels sorry for Lin Luoran and is reluctant to wake her up.

Lin Luoran knows whats going on. She is just unwilling to go back to reality.

The key to an illusion spell is to cover up the truth with falsehood

Cultivation. Cultivate the true self and abandon the false one.

Remember why you start it, you can find the circle core.

You have to see the essence of the mountain.

The essence of the mountain? Does it lie in the buds, the soil, the gophers, the crickets, the worms, the snakes, the dry branches, and the flowers? Is it spring, summer, autumn or winter?

Lin hears White Fairys guidance for her to get out of the illusion circle. She also hears what the man in robe said in her dream. You have to see the essence of the mountain. Before she realizes, the two voices intertwine.

A voice is screaming in her body. Here comes the stage of the Nascent Soul!

White Fairy stands aside and feels shocked by the changes in Lin Luorans body. No one has ever achieved the stage of the Nascent Soul in an illusion circleNo, she cant do it here. The lower Heavens Doom will disturb the Reiki of the illusion circle in the valley, causing irreversible harm to Lin Luoran. The moment of transition is the most vulnerable time for a cultivator!

No, she has to wake up!

White Fairy floats forward but is knocked away by the light wall. After all, she only has a soul. She couldnt help Lin Luoran in the illusion circle!

White Fairy is rarely desperate. What she wants mostly rely on Lin Luoran. If Lin loses her life here, White Fairy will never be able to achieve her goal.

White Fairy has made her decision. She extracts her soul power, trying to create a larger and more realistic illusion circle. In this way can she pull Lin Luoran back from the abyss. However, before she starts it, a pleasant sound of wind chimes comes from the cottage. A pair of hands reach out to hold the door. Then there is a delicate face with no emotion.

She has beautiful black hair and long eyes. She looks at Lin Luoran with some confusion in her eyes.

Like Lin Luoran, she wears a single phoenix pearl hairpin.

The blue pearls look like tears. The two girls as well as the hairpins have been separated for more than three hundred years.

The phoenix hairpins in their hair sense each other. Buzzing and trembling, they leave their masters, flying next to each other. After a click, the Bright Sword and Snow Sword are recombined into Zhao Xue.

Lin Luorans face is full of tears. With her eyelashes twitching, she opens her eyes.
