Chapter 275 Enter the Next Level While Playing

Lin Luoran spends the morning with her mother and she goes to organize her space in the afternoon, then she talks with Baojia who is “asleep”. Time passes by quickly.

Recently, Lin Luoran will go to the medicine base in the mountain with her father. The so-called “watering the medicine” is to infuse the medicine with Reiki. The medicine base is large so each plant of medicine will actually receive a little bit of wood Reiki, yet they grow much better.

Half acre of medicine will consume all Mr. Lin’s wood Reiki, but he is never in a rush to replenish them. He goes to the forest and practices the spells he can cast and uses up all of his Reiki. By that time, Lin Luoran will finish the watering job.

Lin Luoran does not only water the medicines with Reiki, but also squats down beside the medicines and tries to feel their emotions.

The plants may get angry if they are over-watered and they are thirsty when the sun is too bright. These medicines are really hard to please.

If ordinary medicines can express their emotions through Reiki, will spirit herbs become intelligent?

Lin Luoran thinks of the Peony Fairy she saw on TV shows and she goes to ask the crazy Taoist about it.

The crazy Taoist asks Lin Luoran mysteriously, “Have you heard of Diliu Syrup?”

Diliu Syrup? Sounds familiar. Lin Luoran can’t remember where she has seen things about it and she asks the crazy Taoist to explain.

“Except for those exceptionally talented ones, beasts must need the Diliu Syrup in order to gain intelligence. Plants are in the lower level than beasts and the best plant will also need the Diliu Syrup to get a chance of being intelligent. If they cultivate in the right way, they may become immortal… Diliu Syrup used to fall on to the earth along with moonlight every sixty years. However, after the environment changed a thousand years ago, the Tao of nature also has changed. Reiki on the earth declined and cultivators on and above the level of Bearing Essence disappeared. All of the intelligent beasts were gone and the Diliu Syrup never fell down to the earth.”

Is this the reason why the senior cultivators are gone and so are the monsters? Is this also the reason why the world becomes more and more scientific?

Lin Luoran feels that she just listened to a nice lecture on the history of cultivation. Suddenly, she remembers in which novel she once read about the Diliu Syrup!

From Mount Zu to other schools of cultivation written in novels, Lin Luoran has verified so many things. This is so crazy!

Perhaps some of the authors of those novels are cultivators and they mixed their imagination with the fact and wrote those novels… Lin Luoran sighs with emotions for a while. The crazy Taoist asks Lin to take Liu Zheng along with her to “water the plants”. Lin Luoran assumes that the crazy Taoist actually approves her leisure way of cultivation and she leaves with Liu Zheng gladly. Lin never imagines that the crazy Taoist has other intentions.

One day, Mrs. Lin tells the family that it’s Winter Solstice and she will make mutton soup. Then Lin Luoran realizes that she has spent the last month according to her simple daily routine.

Mr. Lin uses up his Reiki every day in the mountain and goes home to cultivate at night. This routine suits him well so he goes to the medicine base more and more frequently.

Lin Luoran is getting more familiar with her wood Reiki. Although wood Reiki is not as useful as the fire and water ones, it has become handier than the gold and earth ones for her.

Lin Luoran has a feeling that her level of cultivation is going to evolve.

Lin suppresses her urge to stop living like this and start cultivation and decides to focus on her gold Reiki. Practicing gold Reiki is harder than that of wood Reiki. Lin Luoran has no other ways than to drag Li Xi’er along. The two of them compete about doing various things with gold spells. Li Xi’er can replenish her Reiki far less quickly than Lin Luoran and Li has a single Taoist root. When her gold Reiki is used up, she will get so tired and she sleeps like a baby every day. If Lin’s house were not filled with peaceful Reiki, Li Xi’er might die of exhaustion…

By the time Lin Luoran can control her gold Reiki and make replications of everything in her backyard, Lin Luodong’s winter break has started.

Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian have both grown taller during the past half a year. Luodong is almost as tall as Mrs. Lin, which makes her sigh because of the ruthless time. Lin Luoran turns her head away and ignores her mother who actually looks younger than ever.

Lin Luoran makes a replication of Goldie with her gold Reiki. The real Goldie looks at the fake one in despise and the little cyan fox is in shock. It thinks that another golden hawk will be living here from now on and it will definitely be bullied by them!

Looking at the little fox’s angry face after it knows the truth, Lin Luoran feels satisfied.

Li Xi’er finally can stop “practicing” with Lin Luoran and she sleeps for three days in a roll. After she wakes up, she refuses to admit that after all of the competition, she seems to get a grasp of the later stage of Training Qi. She will only need the accumulation of Reiki to enter the next level.

Lin Luoran has been feeling that the Wakan inside of her body is fluctuating more and more fiercely. If she does a closed-door training, she will reach the middle stage of Laying Foundation in no time.

However, Lin Luoran enjoys such leisure days so much. She makes up her mind and decides to focus on practicing her earth Reiki.

Earth Reiki is rich and mellow. Lin Luoran walks on earth every day and she spends quite a lot of time with Luodong who has the single Taoist root of earth. However, she is the least familiar with earth Reiki.

Is it because the city that is full of tall building really is lack of the richness of earth?

Alright. Since Luodong is on winter break, Lin Luoran decides to spend the winter with her family in her villa on Mount Qingcheng.

Lin Luoran buries the other half of the Reiki-gathering Stone under the villa and surrounds the villa with iron thorns. She also sets another protection circle around the villa. Mr. Lin is more than glad to live here because the artificial lake in front of the villa is also surrounded by rich Reiki. Mr. Lin can absorb the Reiki to nourish himself while fishing by the lake. He really achieves two things at one stroke.

Mount Qingcheng, as long as the entire mountain range, becomes Goldie’s hunting ground. It likes to spend the Spring Festival at the villa. The little cyan fox also loves the idea because the villa is right near the medicine base. This is really a perfect decision.

After helping Baojia into her room, Lin Luoran leads Li Xi’er, Lin Luodong, and Huang Weijian into the mountain. After the fight with the vampires, Huang Weijian finally forgets about his stubbornness and agrees to stop picking garbage for a living. He “works” at Lin’s medicine base in exchange for his tuition fee. Sometimes, Yuan Ye will teach Huang to identify medicines. One weekend, Huang Weijian and Lin Luodong went to the mountain to play. The two of them were lucky and they found a fifty years old wild ginseng. Lin Luoran has lots of old wild ginsengs in her space and she really thinks that this fifty-year-old ginseng is not qualified to make boluses. However, a fifty-year-old wild ginseng is valuable for ordinary people. When the news is out, one of Fatty Cui’s friends bought the ginseng. The buyer didn’t offer an unreasonable price because Huang is a young boy. Therefore, Lin Luoran helped taken away the restless Reiki in the ginseng and infused it with the peaceful Reiki that is good for human body.

In this way, Huang Weijian is rich now. The money he gets by selling the ginseng is enough for him to study for a Ph.D. if he doesn’t have a plan of studying abroad.

Without financial pressure, Huang Weijian can finally get along with the Lin family with ease.

This time, the four of them will go into the mountain to dig out some clay.

Lin Luoran gets the inspiration from the money fruit wine in her space that she will start practicing earth Reiki by making jars.

She doesn’t have enough clay and the other three are happy to go with her. Playing in the mountain is a lot of fun. Li Xi’er leads Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian and the three of them have a really good time. By sunset, they go home with the clay and Lin Luoran has already made many jars.

In the beginning, the jars Lin makes with earth Reiki are in various shapes. Mr. and Mrs. Lin don’t want to make their daughter unconfident so they choose not to say anything about the jars. However, Lucy is innocent. She keeps pointing at the jars Lin Luoran makes and asks “what is this”. After Lin Luoran tells her, Lucy answers, “These things don’t look like the jars in books.” Lin Luoran is embarrassed because her jars are humiliated by a kindergarten girl.

Lin Luoran gets more serious in order to win Lucy’s praise. Soon, she becomes skillful in making jars.

In two days, Lin Luoran can make jars in every shape she intends to make.

By the end of the year, she can make jars with handles and in various shapes. Some of the jars are carved with figures in Huaxia myths. Lin Luoran has made an entire set of “jar of stories”! Her family is surprised to see these jars. Lin Luoran has made so much progress. These jars can be considered as works of art!

“Sister, Huang Weijian said that Mount Qingcheng would be popular. It’s such a waste to keep these jars inside our house. How about we go out and sell them?”

Luodong is right. There are too many jars in the house. Thus, Lin Luoran decides to take Luodong’s advice and go to sell the jars!

On New Year’s Eve, the Lin family sets off firecrackers. This is a big reunion. Since Liu Zheng is back home to be with his parents, Lin Luoran invites the crazy Taoist to her house. Of course, she also invites Commander Qin.

The crazy Taoist keeps nodding the second he sees Lin Luoran. He has sensed her increased familiarity with Reiki in the five natures.

After dinner, Lucy insists to set off fireworks. It’s too much trouble to go out and buy some so Lin Luoran mixes her Reiki and blows them into the air. The Reiki is so beautiful that Lucy claps her hands constantly. Wang Miao’e and Fatty Cui, as well as Commander Qin, find this new year at Lin’s villa quite impressive.

The dinner is over after midnight. Lin Luoran thinks that the boys won’t be able to get up early the next morning. However, Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian are so thrilled about selling jars that they get up early and get dressed, waiting for Lin Luoran to take them out!

The jars are fragile and Lin Luoran doesn’t want to draw too much attention. Therefore, she puts the jars in her space instead of loading them onto her car. The three of them head to the foot of the mountain, taking a shortcut.

The foot of the mountain is quite crowded. Many people have come here to burn incense and pray. Lin Luoran and the boys find a vacant spot and take out the jars and put them on the ground. There are big rusty jars and small exquisite ones. The price of the jars is 10 yuan each. Many visitors come and buy the jars they like, and then a young man buys all the “story jars” Lin Luoran made.

The young man carefully loads the jars onto his car and drives away. He stops at a crossroad and hands the jars to Mu Tiannan who is waiting. The young man says, “I can’t see anything special about the woman. She is pretty, but I don’t understand why you love her so much.”

Mu Tiannan takes the jars and ignores the young man.

Lin Luoran doesn’t know who is the real buyer of her jars. Even if she does, she doesn’t have time to think about it. At the foot of the crowded mountain, Lin Luoran returns tranquility while listening to the sound of the bell. She enters the next level of cultivation. Everything is so sudden yet meant to be.
