Since knowing the existence of Mount Penglai, Lin Luoran has made it her short-term goal for personal ability enhancement.
She is free like a bird to travel around the world but she also needs a stable family to support her. Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin are essential for her. A person living alone forever is really bored. Even if she may achieve the Tao in the end, she will realize she has given up family and friendship in the process of seeking Tao. She will never want to be a lonely immortal.
Because of the persistence in her heart and the difficulties of finding Spirit Mountain for so long, Lin Luoran is utterly devastated at this moment.
Before reaching the advance of the big realm, Lin Luoran suddenly triggers the Devil Inside when she is in confusion.
The Devil Inside comes to her very strangely this time. She is awake but acting like a sleepwalker. To put it bluntly, she is driven by anxiety and she has lost her mind.
Standing on the top of Mount Penglai, Lin Luoran spits out blood. Her feet are soft and her whole person rolls down the mountain road. Fire phoenix and other two big monsters in space are so scared. However, it’s still not the end of her life. She is stopped by the pavilion with red roof which she has once rested. Fire phoenix feels a little bit relaxed. But when Lin Luoran wakes up again, they can be basically sure that she is “insane”.
Lin Luoran seems to have forgotten all setbacks and starts to worship immortals religiously.
Every day, Lin Luoran prepares meals for herself and eats a lot. She then starts from the rainbow crystal palace on the mountainside to “visit” those immortals.
Of course there will not be any response.
Lin Luoran visits every palace in this way, only thinking that immortals are ignoring her as a humble little cultivator. Therefore, she wants to send some gifts to show her sincerity.
Looking at the way she sees them, fire phoenix inexplicably shivers. It has an intuition that if she can’t find suitable gifts in the end, she may even send them away together with the sacred pearl.
The day comes earlier than fire phoenix expects and it once again shows how good it is at jinxing things.
Lin Luoran has space where time is different from the outside world. There are spirit herbs and countless exquisite plants here. However, species in Mount Penglai must be much more precious than everything in space so she does not expect immortals to like things from space.
What else does she have?
Lin Luoran first thinks of the dragon skeleton. Since the dragonbone is taken away by fire phoenix, she has never seen it again. Of course, Fire phoenix can’t give it to her now. In order to avoid Lin Luoran, the former royal phoenix king is always hiding in its room in the small wooden hut all day. He even abandons its hobby of chatting with sister silver fish.
Wood wolf once laughed a lot. However, when it looks at Lin Luoran’s paranoid eyes without Reiki, it can only sigh and be back to its own room.
Lin Luoran can’t get the dragonbone so she carefully checks the blue jade from the mermaid. She finally takes this extraordinary gift to “visit” the immortal palaces everywhere.
Without accomplishing anything, Lin Luoran is annoyed and almost wants to smash the blue jade.
During these days, she hasn’t taken a break even once. It’s continuously generating Wakan that has been supporting her. When running out of options, she finally thinks of the sacred pearl space.
The silver string of the sacred pearl is cut off. Lin Luoran squints to look at it. All three monsters are screaming.
There are no immortals here. Even if immortals exist and she wants to send out the sacred pearl, she has to obliterate herself and the three monsters in space because she has almost been recognized as the owner of the pearl. Only fire phoenix knows this and even Lin Luoran who is the semi-owner has no idea about it.
In fact, fire phoenix is worrying that Lin Luoran is getting skinny because of her insanity these days. How can a cultivator lose weight? Their appearance, limbs, and figure will be more perfect step by step with the improvement of their personal ability.
Especially for Bearing Essence cultivators. Even if she eats nothing, her body will automatically turn Reiki into Wakan to nourish her cells and maintain the best state of body function.
She is losing weight unusually. It means that under the influence of Devil Inside, the Wakan in Lin Luoran has been in disorder so it affects her metabolism.
Knowledgeable fire phoenix certainly knows this is a very bad sign.
If Devil Inside remains, Lin Luoran may die of losing vital energy and blood.
The three monsters which are closely connected with her will also die… On that day, even this amazing sacred pearl will be permanently left in Spirit Mountain.
However, since the man has been escorting her all the way, how can he allow these things happen to Lin Luoran?
Fire phoenix feels it can never understand what he is thinking. As a powerful and talented monster, it can’t either understand Lin Luoran’s thought as a human being.
It’s nice that she values her family and friends. The monsters connected to her are also happy to know this because at least they don’t have to worry about being abandoned. However, it is really difficult to forcefully save a person’s life considering how fragile human beings are.
As an experienced monster, it can’t solve this problem, let alone childish silver fish and seemingly smart but actually the stupidest wood wolf.
There is no one in Spirit Mountain. Who can help to comfort Lin Luoran?
Fire phoenix thinks for a few days, and suddenly it remembers another guest in space who has been sleeping. Since Lin Luoran sends the Storage Bag away, White Fairy’s sleeping Soul Stone has been in space.
Fire phoenix sneaks into Lin Luoran’s room. It fumbles in the room and finally finds the Soul Stone.
The small version of White Fairy is sleeping in it. With fire phoenix’s ability, it can see her tragic look hiding in Soul Stone.
Well, humans are really weak. After so long, she can’t even handle the spiritual mind of a dead bat monster.
Fire phoenix purses its lips and transmits a trace of Nirvana true fire into the Soul Stone. It is exhausted but still tries its best to scream.
“Hello, Linny! How about this gift?”
It knows that no matter what it says at this time, Lin Luoran will totally ignore it. Only the gift she has been thinking about can attract her.
Sure enough, Lin Luoran flashes into space the next second.
Looking at the familiar Soul Stone on the ground, Lin Luoran is confused for a moment. She seems to have forgotten what this is.
The fire phoenix has a bad hunch. A smoke of white shadow floats out of the Soul Stone and gradually takes shape.
The woman is in a bright yellow royal dress with the hairpin of a fresh peony. She looks pretty and dignified. She is exactly White Fairy who hasn’t been along with Lin Luoran for a long time but indirectly taught her to improve her personal ability until the Bearing Essence period!
Lin Luoran has no teacher and never studies in school. On the way of personal ability enhancement, she only has two masters. One is Master Jia who taught her nameless breathing methods which are actually cultivation methods. The other one is White Fairy who taught her how to direct a flying sword and gave her Weapon Introduction and memory bead—
In the beginning, White Fairy and her were just using each other to escape from the monster bat. In the end, White Fairy was accidentally ambushed to delay the monster bat and then fell into a deep sleep.
Ten years pass by quickly. They didn’t have a good beginning but memory is always beautiful. Lin Luoran is particularly confused and her Soul Exit is closed at this moment. When she suddenly sees White Fairy, she is about to cry when thinking what she has suffered after being stunned for a short time.
“Long time no see.”
White Fairy touches her peony hairpin and greets Lin Luoran like an old friend.
The way she speaks is so natural. Lin Luoran can’t hide her grievances and losses anymore.
Lin Luoran who has always been very strong and indifferent bursts into tears. She is crying without caring about anything else like an aggrieved child who doesn’t get candies.
…
Crying is really a good way for humans to vent their sorrow and release stress. Fire phoenix takes another lesson and also feels relieved.
It knows that it has made a correct decision. The extremely precious Nirvana fire was wasted. However, the awakening of the female cultivator’s remnant soul undoubtedly makes Lin Luoran sober in tears.
Lin Luoran conquers her Devil Inside.
Clouds are unpredictable, stretching into waves for a while and then curling up into a high mountain.
What remains unchanged is Lin Luoran standing on the top of Mount Penglai. There is no joy nor sorrow in her eyes at the moment. Her eyes are extremely clear now.
Gorgeous White Fairy is standing beside her. Every time the wind blows, her dress hem will fly as Lin Luoran’s. Without full attention, people with bad personal ability can’t tell she is just a soul by the way she looks.
When she was alive, she pursued Tao of nature but her body was damaged in the secret land. Since then, she has been trapped in the narrow space under the abyss. She was rescued by the Soul Stone but also restrained by the Soul Stone, unable to leave the abyss even a step.
Until a thousand years later, a small female cultivator with extremely low personal ability unexpectedly fell into the abyss. White Fairy was still thinking of Possession as a retreat but things developed unexpectedly.
She knew monster bat was powerful but she did not know it was a primitive monster.
Her world shattered and she was trapped in Soul Stone in a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, she was in Mount Penglai which she did not dare to think about when she was alive. Looking down from above, she can see the whole magnificent and mysterious Spirit Mountain. White Fairy is surprised at Lin Luoran’s wonderful experience and her efforts.
At that time, Lin Luoran had only the personal ability of the late Training Qi period. Now it is only ten years later but this young female cultivator is in the middle Bearing Essence period.
She has the treasure but she still has to work very hard. White Fairy knows that Lin Luoran is not a genius and her talent is even not good.
“… Actually you have worked hard enough.”
Harder than white fairy was when she was improving her personal ability. White Fairy gets carried away. She would never know that Lin Luoran has passed Laying Foundation period when herself awaked. The memory bead she gave her is now useless for the late Bearing Essence period.
Lin Luoran turns her head, “Work hard? But I still can’t save my mother… I waste two years on looking for the Spirit Mountain. Whenever I think my mother can develop her Taoist root, I think we still have lots of time to be together. It’s so ridiculous. For the mystical Mount Penglai, I have wasted so much. ”
White Fairy sighs. She has experienced the feeling of watching her relatives and friends aging and dying but could do nothing thousands of years ago. At that time, her self-cultivation reached Gathering Vitality but she still couldn’t solve the Taoist root problem for mortals, not to mention Lin Luoran in the middle of Bearing Essence.
She is about to comfort her when she sees a cyan shadow flying in the distance. White Fairy is alert instantly.
Besides her, Lin Luoran’s expression is extremely complicated.
