Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality Chapter 409

Chapter 409 - Crossing a Thousand Mountains, Immortals are Still Hard to Find

What does fire phoenix mean by “changing the time”?

Lin Luoran asks this question and fire phoenix does not hide it. It only says that it is an extremely powerful theurgy which can condense time. Time and space may be compressed or decompressed.

The pine needles of the pine tree on the opposite are clear in sight. However, Lin Luoran herself may be hundreds of millions of light years far away from it now.

It is not a piece of good news and it is bad enough for Lin Luoran to ignore the loophole in fire phoenix’s explanation—it seems to be very familiar with the theurgy which only exists in the legend?

The trees are obviously just in front of her and she can see the crystal dewdrops on the pine needles… Lin Luoran expects that she will reach the end of the floating path in the next second. Even though the floating stone keeps moving, she is still yawning and feels very sleepy.

After tracing Spirit Mountain for more than ten years, it is just at the end of the path. She feels both anxious and relaxed. The tiredness of being alert in the monster forest day and night is triggered at this moment. She talks with fire phoenix from time to time but the next moment she falls asleep quietly on the floating stone.

She is still holding some delicate pottery figurines in hand. It’s really not a good time for Lin Luoran to sleep.

She has an extremely sweet dream. In the dream, her sincerity touches immortals and she gets the spirit medicine to foster the Taoist root for mortals. After Mrs. Lin takes it, she surpasses others with the help of spirit stones and elixirs in the Lin family. In a short time, she reaches the Laying Foundation period and then Bearing Essence period. The whole family rafts on the Dongting lake, bursting with joy and laughter.

The dream is so sweet that Lin Luoran wakes up with a smile on her face.

However, she feels stones are poking her. Lin Luoran climbs up and checks it. It turns out that she has been sent to the end of the trail by the floating stone when she falls asleep. She was thrown onto the stones road so she hurts.

Lin Luoran stands up immediately with great joy. She doesn’t even care that her hair is soaked with dewdrops. This mountain is filled with colorful flowers and she smells the fragrance of flowers from the pottery figurines.

Lin Luoran walks for two steps and finds that her shoes have disappeared. She thinks they must fall into the void below the mountain and doesn’t pay much attention.

Walking further, she finds something strange again.

Her Wakan in her body has not improved for a long time but now it is overflowing in her meridians. It seems that she is entering the middle Bearing Essence period.

What’s going on? Although Reiki is sufficient in Spirit Mountain, she can’t just wake up and then enter the middle Bearing Essence period. Lin Luoran feels so uneasy. She has never advanced so smoothly and she doesn’t feel natural or harmonious.

She checks with her spiritual power. Fortunately, she can still enter space.

She asks fire phoenix, silver fish, and wood wolf and knows that their personal ability has also increased a lot like Lin Luoran. They discuss it together but still can’t figure it out. Lin Luoran can only attribute this to the bless of Mount Penglai.

Lin Luoran looks at the female music dolls in her hands. There is nothing strange with them. The space has become larger maybe because she has advanced into the middle Bearing Essence period.

Lin Luoran thinks about it for a while but she still can’t come up with an explanation. She can only choose to get another pair of new shoes. Out of space, she walks up the hill along the path.

The winding gravel path is paved with colorful stones which look a bit more gorgeous than Jinling Yuhua Stones. Lin Luoran can only recognize a few flowers and trees beside the road. Some golden fruit larger than cherries smells really good. However, she doesn’t dare to pick it, let alone eat it.

The path is steep and the distance is extremely long. Lin Luoran doesn’t know how long she has been walking. As a Bearing Essence cultivator, she now even feels thirsty. She takes a few peaches from the space to ease her hunger and thirst and then goes on her journey.

It’s still not dark yet. She has forgotten how long she has been walking. When she is exhausted, she finds a wooden pavilion with red roof beside the road. There are strings of purple copper bells hanging down the eaves and sweet beautiful sound rings as the wind blows. Lin Luoran doesn’t feel anxious any more.

She sits in the pavilion to have a good rest. Rubbing her sore feet and resting for a long time, she finally feels better.

Lin Luoran has not used spells or flying swords to help her with climbing the mountain. Out of intuition, she does not think it is wise to use the external force in Spirit Mountain such as spells.

Although there are no traces of immortals, Lin Luoran believes there is a pair of eyes staring at her secretly. It is examining everything she does and her devoutness.

After resting in the pavilion for half a day, abundant Reiki soon helps her restore her energy.

She is like in a honeypot of Reiki. This mountain is filled with harmonious Reiki which is more abundant than that in space. It is really a good place for personal ability.

There is a very absurd idea in her mind. She suddenly feels that it is a good choice for her to live in this mountain and then enhance her personal ability.

Lin Luoran calms down and she blinks in confusion.

Well, she has always insisted on the Tao of the mortal world and she thinks life itself is personal ability enhancement. Why does she suddenly have the idea of leaving the earthly life?

Does this Spirit Mountain affect her mindset?

Lin Luoran raises her head and sees a flashing cyan shadow—well, it is the cyan phoenix pulling the carriage into the mountain!

She locks the direction of where the cyan phoenix disappears and sets off again.

The world is still filled with soft and bright light. Not dazzling or dim, it has not changed at all but Lin Luoran has already reached the mountainside.

On the way up the mountain, boredom and silence almost drive her crazy. The flowers and fruits are ripe along the way but she can’t even hear the sound of birds. She is the only one in this big mountain and it tortures her to exhaustion.

Whenever she wants to give up, the provocative cyan shadow will fly across the sky. It makes Lin Luoran’s feet feel powerful again.

Lin Luoran suppresses her anxiety and she is still having watermelon in her mouth. The damn cyan phoenix flies over again!

She complains secretly but she soon rejoices at seeing a living creature so she goes in that direction. She seems to make progress on the seemingly endless mountain road little by little.

Until she finds a rainbow palace.

The breeze is blowing and everything in front of her has an unrealistic and magnificent feeling. There are seven arched walls of different colors. When viewed from a distance, it is a rainbow. When she walks in, she finds they are seven well-organized rainbow bridges.

Lin Luoran thinks for a while and chooses the orange bridge.

There is no danger. It’s like stepping on soft elastic Gummy Bears, which makes her feel less relaxed than on the ground.

Lin Luoran walks over quickly. The whole palace may be made of crystal. It looks exquisite and matches colorful rainbow bridges in front of the palace.

Lin Luoran does not dare to venture forward and she just expresses her intention calmly and waits quietly on the stairs in front of the hall. She has a wish in her heart so she is very docile.

However, there is no response saying yes or no.

Is immortal not at home?

Lin Luoran has a bad hunch in her mind. She clenches her fist without realizing it and she is unwilling to think.

Lin Luoran stays in front of the temple and meditates on the stairs every day for self-cultivation. The passing time in Spirit Mountain makes people lose real sense. Her phone cannot tell her the time and sun doesn’t rise or set. Lin Luoran is muddleheaded for a while and she finally remembers that she can use the plants in space to calculate the time.

She plants a common tree and cuts branches at regular intervals to check the annual rings.

Then Lin Luoran begins her self-cultivation. She almost gives up eating and totally focuses on self-cultivation. Perhaps it’s because she is afraid of something.

Knowing that the annual ring has three or four hundred cycles, Lin Luoran is surprised at how fast time passes.

Her self-cultivation advances greatly. However, if she is asked how it feels like, she will say that it’s like the passage of one month rather than one year. Sure enough, it is the residence of immortals so time goes by very fast. Only immortals have endless lifespan and they can withstand time passing by without a trace casually.

If this is the case, the owner of this rainbow crystal palace may be visiting relatives or friends. It may take a hundred years for him to come back. However, she has no time to wait.

Lin Luoran does not enter the palace. She goes down the orange rainbow bridge and continues to walk up the mountain.

She stops and then continues to walk all the way. Various palaces she sees along the way are gorgeous and very unique. It seems that a lot of immortals live in Mount Penglai—or maybe, “lived”.

When Lin Luoran finally climbs to the top of the mountain. She overlooks the whole mountain and she finally feels at a loss in this place surrounded by dense white fog all year round.

She should have known something is wrong long ago.

…known that there are fruitful immortal trees beside the road but there are no signs of picking them after so many years.

She should have known something is wrong long ago.

…known that the flowers are in full bloom but there isn’t even a bee or bird.

She should have known something is wrong long ago. Fire phoenix and silver fish have become more and more silent recently. They must have found the truth before her, but they can’t bear to tell her.

Can’t bear to tell her that those temples are silent not because their owners are going out, but the entire Mount Penglai has been abandoned—There are no immortals in Mount Penglai. Lin Luoran doesn’t know why her willpower can support her so much. She even has the strength to smile as self-mockery.
