Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Time waits for no one even during the leisure days.

When Lin Luoran and her families harvest the rice and begin a new round of cultivation, everyone opens a new chapter of their lives.

Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian are in the third grade of secondary school. In order to be admitted to the best high school in the R City, they are studying hard every day. Lin Luodong is 15 years old. It is an important year for him, because he will be 18 in three years. Every time when he sees Huang Weijian playing with his magic bald pen, he hopes that he can reach the age of 18 sooner, so that he can make a choice.

Huang Weijian’s unreliable and mysterious grandfather hasn’t shown up yet, which makes the young boy often guess whether the old man is fed up with him and just abandons him to the Lin family like throwing away a burden. However, he thinks the advantage of staying in the Lin family is that he can reach the middle stage of Training Qi within two years. He will be only 17 in two years. He will still be very young to be in the middle stage of Training Qi at 17 years old. Then he will be two steps earlier than Lin Luodong. Although Huang Weijian doesn’t show his feelings, he is very proud secretly.

Li Xi’er is in her early twenties when she is in the middle stage of Training Qi. It is not because Huang Weijian is more talented than her, but because as the last Confucian cultivator, he benefits a lot from his state of mind. His pride once depressed Lin Luodong who tried to get close to him.

The young boys devote most of their time to their studies. The only change of their lives, if any, is probably that the “disgusting” little fat boy Ma Ming has gradually replaced the girl Wei Xue, becoming another friend of Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian.

One reason is that they haven’t met Wei Xue for a long time, so they are not as close as they were. The other reason may be the coming of puberty. The young people start to be aware of the gender differences, so they can’t play together frequently anymore. Thanks to Lin Luodong, Huang Weijian gets to know Rong Donglin and has learned a lot from him. As Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian are more knowledgeable than their peers, they are alienated from their peers. Only Ma Ming, the brazen boy, occasionally tries to persuade them to play games with him. Wei Xue has reached the age when girls like stars and beautiful clothes. Without a common topic, they inevitably drift apart.

Because of this, Lin Luodong has been upset for a while. Lin Luoran comforts him that people make different friends at different stages of life, so not all friends are lifelong, and it doesn’t mean the loss of a friend, but mean that he is growing.

Lin Luodong is a little confused. But after thinking for a while, he understands. If their friendship lasts for dozens of years, they will have deeper affection then. After he becomes a cultivator in the future, Wei Xue will surely die before him. It might be a real blow for him to lose a close friend at that time.

Lin Luodong suddenly realizes why the cultivators visiting his family don’t want to associate with ordinary people. Because it will be troublesome if they have affection with ordinary people.

“So, must I sever all the contacts with ordinary people if I want to become a cultivator, sister?” Lin Luodong is very upset. He knows that Mrs. Lin doesn’t have the Taoist root. Thinking that she will leave them one day, Lin Luodong is so sad that he almost cries.

Lin Luoran thinks for a while, but still doesn’t know how to answer the question.

To cultivate, people must sever all contacts with ordinary people, including their relatives and friends, and they have to become indifferent and become immortal alone. Isn’t it more painful than death?

Although there is no news about Mount Penglai, Lin Luoran has never given up looking for the whereabouts of it.

…

The “Lins’ Typhoid Pill” of Lin Luoran’s pharmaceutical factory finally win the market’s recognition within one year. While the pills are gaining a huge market share in China, the company is busy exporting them. The export price is still 66, but in US dollars. Many foreigners complain about the high price, but Lin Luoran doesn’t plan to reduce it.

As far as Lin Luoran knows, some so-called imported specific medicines are 100 times more expensive than her typhoid pills, but patients in Huaxia still pay for them. She doesn’t think that the export price of her typhoid pills is high. Because the environment is deteriorating, the flu becomes severer than ever. Even if patients in this country don’t buy them, there are many patients from other countries want them.

Unexpectedly, the “Lins’ Typhoid Pill” wins popularity because of Ma Ming, the little fat boy.

When Ma Ming got flu, Huang Weijian was disgusted by Ma Ming’s sound of snorting in the back seat every day. So he took a box of medicine from the Lin family and gave it to Ma Ming. Then Ma Ming, who had been on a drip for half a month, miraculously recovered from the flu after taking the pills for two days.

His father, a new rich, was surprised and marveled at the pill’s effect. Then he sent a box of pills to every employee in his factory as gifts for the Spring Festival. The employees found the pills even more useful than advertised. Because of word of mouth, the pills won many market shares in the R City. Within one year, they became popular in the whole country.

Zeng Tian plans to launch another new medicine, but is stopped by Lin Luoran.

There is only one reason. Zeng Tian is the only child of his family. Thanks to Gathering Qi Boluses and his own efforts, he finally rises from the congenital realm to the early stage of Training Qi.

In the early stage of Training Qi, even the simple Spells of the Five Elements are enough to make his parents no longer opposed to his cultivation. Other people who don’t have a chance to cultivate burn incense in Tianfu Square of the R City every day, hoping to cultivate. Now that their son can really cultivate and has made progress, so they would not object anymore.

Because he learned Spells of the Five Elements from Lin Luoran, he wants to continue learning from her. Since Lin Luoran hasn’t admitted him as her apprentice, he dares not call her master. But he calls Yuan Ye “Senior Brother”, and he stays in Lin Luoran’s home all day long, intending to turn from a nominal apprentice to a real apprentice of Lin Luoran.

Because he is honey-mouthed, Lin Luoran’s parents like him very much, which makes Yuan Ye have a sense of crisis. When Yuan Ye finally reveals his nature, Lin Luoran gradually knows that her seeming honest apprentice is actually no worse than Zeng Tian at flattering people!

Lin Luoran thinks that Li Xi’er will be coaxed by Yuan Ye one day.

…

Everyone has made progress. Among them, Li Xi’er is a rising star. At least no matter where Xi Heng goes, there are some people show envy for him. The most direct expression is that they praise Li Xi’er’s achievements first, and then show contempt for Xi Heng’s ability.

Sister Li, whom everyone considers naïve and adorable, has officially broken through the middle stage of Training Qi and reached the later stage at 25, a very young age for many cultivators. Therefore, she becomes “Sister Li” of many people.

Alas, the prophecy of that day has come true. If people don’t want Sister Li to become Master Li, so that they can no longer covet her, they had better cultivate hard!

Wen Guanjing has reached the completion of Training Qi. In order to increase the chance of laying foundation, he chooses to travel around the world.

He is not as pure-minded as Li Xi’er. Both of them are genius of one single nature, but Li Xi’er is able to reach the later stage of Training Qi at 25, not only because of Lin Luoran’s help, but also because of her pure mind.

If Wen Guanjing wants to lay foundation, he must purify his mind. It is a good choice to abandon himself to nature

…

As for Lin Luoran, in addition to inquiring about whereabouts of Mount Penglai, during the leisure days, she melts down the Snow Sword which has been stained with evil gas.

Forging a weapon is a very difficult job that takes her one year. The day when the Snow Sword regains its luster, what she gets is not only a flying sword, but also a Shui magic circle for attacking, which is engraved inside the sword. While forging the sword, Lin Luoran has examined it thoroughly. Then making use of the lake in front of her gate, she changes the original circle for protecting her family in Qingcheng villa

Cultivators without Lin Luoran’s spirit jade plate will be attacked by water spells as long as they enter the area of the Lin family.

It’s hard to say how powerful it is. Anyway, if you don’t have the ability as Wen Guanjing does, and you want to test how powerful the circle is, then you will probably sink to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish.

The circles both for attacking and defensing form the basic circle for protecting the mountain.

When the circle is formed, the crazy Taoist come to test its power. When he hears that Lin Luoran designed the circle by herself, he shows a strange expression. “You are not only good at making elixirs, but also at planting magic circles…you are really like her.”

Lin Luoran is ashamed. If she didn’t have the bead, the space and countless spirit herbs for her to do experiment, how can the crazy Taoist think her good at making elixirs? But according to the crazy Taoist, she is actually good at planting magic circles, right?

Lin Luoran is excited. She feels that she has developed her own ability. Even if she suddenly loses her bead one day, she will not return to the original state, will she? At that time, even if she doesn’t have spirit herbs for making elixirs or bead to transform Reiki, at least she can learn to plant magic circles and devote her energy to it.

The crazy Taoist said, “you are really like her”. Lin guesses that he was referring to Jiang Mingyue, who died early. If Jiang Mingyue was good at planting magic circles, wouldn’t it be a nice coincidence? So what the crazy Taoist is good at is magic circles. No wonder he could seal the false saintess.

Lin Luoran tries learning magic circles from him. The crazy Taoist thinks for a while but doesn’t immediately agree.

Lin is a little disappointed. But the crazy Taoist says planting magic circles depends on talent. If she succeeds in bearing essence one day, she can try exploring the first step of the star atlas and developing her own way of planting magic circles.

The star atlas, the bright jade stairs. Lin Luoran keeps his words in mind.

After the conversation, Lin Luoran keeps herself from looking at the jade stairs. One day Liu Zheng stumbles to her.

“Master asked you to come…the Soul Wood, the Soul Wood has been developed!” Liu Zheng is sweating all over his head. He even doesn’t care about his image, which shows how urgent he is.

Being surprised and overjoyed, Lin Luoran breaks the porcelain cup in her hand.

After two years, have they finally succeeded?
