Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 348 Single Water Taoist Root vs Trip to Nihon

“You mean, this group of people has been sent to Nihon on a mission but you haven’t heard from them for half a month? Cui Hejian is one of them, right? …Well, please send me the details later. ”

Lin Luoran puts down the phone. Confirming with Chen Yun about what Fatty Cui said, she gets this unpleasant news.

Fatty Cui’s face falls, “Sister Lin, my cousin is the last unmarried man in the Cui family. He is the only possibility to carry on the family name. You have to help me.”

As soon as Fatty Cui finishes his sentence, he is beaten hard by Wang Miao’e, “You mean a daughter can’t carry your bloody family name?”

Fatty Cui knows he has said something wrong so he scampers off like a frightened rat. Lin Luoran ignores this pair of couple who are both in their fifties but still behave like boys and girls. She turns her attention to Lucy who plays truant. Lucy is now taking the young lad Qin Nian running around the yard.

The ten-year-old Lucy has inherited Wang Miao’e’s facial features. She is no longer a chubby kid but a cute and beautiful little girl.

It is not the point. The point is, there is a small pond in the yard of the Qins’ Villa. Cui Wanlu is playing with little Qin Nian in the water. With Lin Luoran’s current personal ability, she can acutely feel those water Reiki molecules wandering around Cui Wanlu, reluctant to leave.

Wang Miao’e and Fatty Cui are ordinary people without the Taoist root. For this reason, no one in the Lin family has ever thought about testing Lucy’s Taoist root although she is already more than eight years old… Now maybe there is an unexpected surprise.

Fatty Cui has a cousin who works in the special department, so it is possible there are other people with the Taoist root in the Cui family.

“Lucy, come here. Auntie has something to tell you!” Lin Luoran beckons to Cui Wanlu.

Leading Qin Nian here, Cui Wanlu looks like an elder sister. When they are walking, she constantly corrects Qin Nian’s bad habit of putting fingers in his mouth.

“Auntie Lin, you want to see me?” Does Auntie Lin finally agree to take her to school to see Brother Luodong? Cui Wanlu’s eyes are glittering.

Nowadays little girls are really precocious. Lin Luoran almost gets a headache.

She pulls Cui Wanlu aside. Moving her fingers, Lin Luoran creates a mist of water encircling the young girl.

Qin Nian curiously touches the pulsating white mist. As soon as his little finger touches it, he feels a biting coldness. The soldier’s blood in this young lad is not working at all. He cries and howls.

Lin Luoran picks him up, “Be a good boy and don’t move. Your sister Cui will come out soon.”

The Cuis both stop and look here motionlessly. Although they do not know what Lin Luoran has done to their daughter, they are sure that she will never hurt Cui Wanlu.

“Sister Lin, what is this…?” Fatty Cui is rubbing his hands. He is desperate to gossip and ask questions but also tries his best to hold it. His such look really makes people can’t help laughing.

Lin Luoran is about to answer him but Cui Wanlu has gone out of the mist.

“Auntie Lin, what is this? It’s more comfortable than hot springs!”

Qin Nian freezes and cries as soon as he touches it. But for Cui Wanlu, it is a hot spring bath? Sure enough, it’s exactly what Lin Luoran thinks.

Lin Luoran turns to Wang Miao’e and smiles, “Sister Wang, would you mind if the two families, Lin and Wang, become closer?”

Fatty Cui sneezes,. “Sister Lin, now it is not popular to arrange marriage when children are very young.”

Lin Luoran and Wang Miao’e ignore Fatty Cui who always thinks so differently and strangely. Wang Miao’e is a bit dazzling. “Sister… you mean… Wanlu… she…?”

Lin Luoran nods, “Single Water Taoist Root in Five Elements. Even if she is not my apprentice, the world of cultivation will go crazy for her.”

Fatty Cui is standing there looking stupid. At the critical moment, his wife Wang Miao’e is decisive, “People with Single Water Taoist Root will still go crazy for being your apprentice. Sister, that’s the deal! Cui Wanlu, come and meet your master!”

Master? Cui Wanlu blinks. Why does Auntie Lin just become her master after a short talk?

Does it mean that Brother Luodong has to be her school uncle? With Yuan Ye as a precedent, clever girl Cui Wanlu knows the importance of riding on Lin Luoran’s coattails.

“Master, please accept your apprentice’s worship!”

When the Lins come back in the evening, they are very happy about the news that Cui Wanlu becomes Lin Luoran’s third apprentice. Zeng Tian has been the last apprentice for a long time. Now he suddenly has a little school sister, it makes him so happy that his mouth almost stretches out to the tips of his ears.

“Little school sister, what do you want? School brother will take you to buy it tomorrow!” Zeng Tian pats his chest as a guarantee.

Yuan Ye corrects him, “It’s the second school brother… Ah, little school sister, how about big school brother teaching you magic?”

Lin Luoran kicks her two facetious apprentices. She squats down and asks Cui Wanlu, “Sorry, it seems that we haven’t asked your opinion and just made the decision during the day. Lucy, now Auntie Lin asks you on an equal footing, would you like to develop your personal ability? ”

Are you willing to enhance your personal ability?

Auntie Lin, if I improve my personal ability, will I become very powerful?

Yes.

Auntie Lin, I heard that cultivators can live many, many, many years. Is it true?

Yes.

Cui Wanlu smiles sweetly, “Master, I am willing to improve my personal ability.”

…

The rescue operation is urgent. No matter the new little apprentice or making a flying sword for Zeng Tian, Lin Luoran has to set them aside temporarily.

Chen Yun’s messages have not been here yet, but Wen Guanjing, a mobile database, has arrived.

Wen Guanjing and Lin Luoran haven’t seen each other for a few years. The first sentence he says to her is “School sister Lin, why do I feel that you’re getting stronger again?” With Laying Foundation, he thinks he is narrowing their gap. But now, why can’t he see through Lin Luoran’s personal ability?

Lin Luoran doesn’t want to hide it from him, “I have borne Essence a while ago.”

This sentence doesn’t only tell Wen Guanjing the truth, but also throws a blockbuster in the world of cultivating in Huaxia.

Putting aside Lin Luoran’s mysterious master, for hundreds of years, it is their first time to witness someone succeeding in Bearing Essence. Cultivator of Bearing Essence… Everyone thinks the way out for Huaxia cultivators is at best like Huizhu, struggling in the late Laying Foundation period. No one ever thinks Lin Luoran can successfully bear Essence after cultivating for only more than ten years.

Although it makes people jealous, it is more of a stable anchor for many cultivators in Huaxia.

Even if Lin Luoran has her unknown adventure, she is still a female cultivator without very outstanding aptitude. Everyone has witnessed her every step and every advancement. Why can’t they get the opportunity of Laying Foundation, or even Bearing Essence?

If there are no adventures, we will still work hard!

Without good aptitude, we must work harder!

When this encouraging news spreads, many cultivators, who think men should not easily shed tears, even tear up a little.

The Tao of nature is integrated. Since Lin Luoran can break the curse that no one can bear Essence in the world of personal ability in Huaxia, doesn’t it mean that the Tao of nature hasn’t abandoned this group of young cultivators who have been struggling so hard in the declining spell period?

That is another story. At this moment, Wen Guanjing merely sighs in his heart and proposes to Lin Luoran,

“School sister Lin, when should we leave?”

Lin Luoran looks around. The whole Lin family is looking at her eagerly. Lin Luodong’s personal ability is too bad, so it is impossible to involve him in the rescue operation. As for Zeng Tian, he doesn’t have a handy weapon. So she even doesn’t consider to take him either.

As for Yuan Ye, he is fairly thoughtful and can go together.

How about Mr. Lin? Well, a daughter can’t stop her father. So, the team to Nihon is settled, Mr. Lin, Li Xi’er, Wen Guanjing, Yuan Ye, and Goldie.

Lin Luodong is not satisfied with this result. However, Huang Weijian’s personal ability is better than his, still, he is also not chosen. Lin Luodong feels much more comfortable now.

He looks over to Huang Weijian. Under his good friend’s indifferent expression, there is a sense of slyness. Lin Luodong is stunned but soon calmly puts up with it.

Fatty Cui is so happy and books a flight for them. One cultivator of Bearing Essence, two cultivators of Laying Foundation, Mr. Lin, Yuan Ye, and mysterious hawk of the State of Huaxia… in Fatty Cui’s opinion, such a crew is enough to destroy Nihon shrine. It is definitely not a problem to rescue his cousin.

The flight from the capital to Togyo takes five hours. Lin Luoran feels it is a waste of time, so she waves her hands and decides to just cross the sea.

Goldie takes Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye. She takes Li Xi’er on her sword. Wen Guanjing himself knows how to fly a sword. They will reach Togyo in just one hour.

“In the air, can you also find the direction?” To be on the safe side, Lin Luoran asks Wen Guanjing.

Wen Guanjing is the “captain” who has travelled around the world. He is especially good at finding latitude and longitude. He nods and pulls out something like a watch.

“Longitude 138.4°-139.8° east, latitude 34.8°-36.2° north. We contact with logistics units first in Togyo and then go to Mount Fuji.”

Lin Luoran nods. She summons the Bright Sword and drags Li Xi’er to stand on the long and smooth flying sword.

Goldie restores its body from the size of an eagle. Its open wings can cover the roof of the Qins’ Villa. It’s more than enough for Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye to stand on it.

When Wen Guanjing is ready, Lin Luoran waves and throws two Mini Worlds to cover them. They just disappear under the blue sky.

The ten-year-old Cui Wanlu is longing for such kind of journey and Zeng Tian stomps his feet to show his regret. Lin Luodong winks to Huang Weijian, “Grandpa Qin, Brother Cui, we have classes in the afternoon so we must go back first.”

The two leave, bending one’s arm around the other’s shoulder. Before leaving the community, Huang Weijian has already taken out his cell phone to book tickets.

“Yes, the next flight, the capital to Togyo. Yes, business class, two.”

Lin Luodong punches his back, “I’ll fight any man who says you are honest!”

“You two are the least honest.” Cui Wanlu’s voice sounds behind. They just find out that they have a small trailsman.

Cui Wanlu is perky, “If you guys don’t take me, I will sell you out.”

Lin Luodong is in a dilemma. Huang Weijian and he have committed a “crime”. If they take ten-year-old Cui Wanlu who has no personal ability now… Lin Luodong knows his sister won’t get angry easily, but if she is angry…

Huang Weijian acts as if he didn’t see Lin Luodong’s bad look. He says to Cui Wanlu calmly, “Let’s go. Go back to school and pack our luggage first.”

Cui Wanlu is so excited. She holds their hands and bounces away.

Cui Wanlu is only ten years old, but she definitely knows how to threaten others. However, is Huang Weijian that stupid?
