Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 534 Kumquat Tree

Black Tortoise swallows Bai Zhi’s primordial spirit which is trying to escape, and carries Lin Luoran who is exhausted on its back.

Seeing that White Fairy is kind of hesitant, the old turtle invites her to come up generously. White Fairy is not hypocritical and climbs up naturally. She also takes Mu Tiannan who is almost dead with her.

In fact, Black Tortoise doesn’t like Mu Tiannan, because he is a half monster and half demon. However, for the sake of Lin Luoran, it has to take him a ride. Lin Luoran lays on the broad turtleback and recovers her Meta gradually. Black Tortoise travels in the river with waves at a seemingly slow but actually at a fast and steady speed.

After swimming in the water for a while, Black Tortoise climbs onto the shore. It is very familiar with the terrain of this secret land. Without taking detours, it quickly comes to the pool full of miasma at snake monster’s cave.

Lin Luoran understands it immediately. Black Tortoise is here to find the jade plates taken by the snake monster.

The double-headed snake’s cave is in the depths of the poison pool. The entire pool is bubbling with black bubbles from time to time, and the boiling water exudes a stench. People will feel dizzy if they stay on the shore for a while, let alone looking for the jade plates at the bottom of the cold pool.

The poisonous miasma is on the surface, but no one knows what is hidden under the water. After all, this is the cave of the double-headed snake.

White Fairy offers to do the job as a soul of departed. Lin Luoran’s Meta has not totally recovered, so she nods in agreement. Even Black Tortoise appreciates what White Fairy does. It naturally doesn’t want people around Lin Luoran are a group of men who only want to enjoy convenience without paying anything.

White Fairy looks similar to a real person, and her body actually is made up of energy. It is a better choice that she goes down the water.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Lin Luoran starts to worry because White Fairy hasn’t come back.

She recovers a little bit, but she feels uncomfortable when she notices Mu Tiannan’s lifeless appearance, especially his broken arm bleeding all the time. Lin Luoran doesn’t know how can he bleed so much.

After thinking about it, she gets a strain of ginseng from the space. She washes it and cuts it into slices, and then stuffs them in Mu Tiannan’s mouth. The bitter ginseng liquid goes down Mu Tiannan’s esophagus, and the coldness of blood poisoning is repelled by such kind of warmth. Then he gets some strength back and opens his eyes.

What he sees is Lin Luoran’s face, which brightens Mu Tiannan’s lifeless eyes.

Since he is awake, Lin Luoran simply refines the whole ginseng into medicinal solution directly with Bolus Fire in her palm and feeds it to Mu Tiannan.

Maybe it’s because of the ginseng solution, or because Mu Tiannan now wants to survive with Lin Luoran’s care, he can almost sit up straight after a while.

Lin Luoran frowns because of the first thing Mu Tiannan does after regaining his mobility.

The index finger of his intact hand pops out a pointed nail, flashing sharp cold light. Then he cuts his injured arm with the nail to take out a blood-stained jade plate.

This is the last jade plate that the snake monster could not find. It was hidden in the broken arm by Mu Tiannan in a mess. Wrapped in flesh and blood, it escaped the snake monster’s search.

Seeing Mu Tiannan working hard to wipe the blood on the jade plate with one hand with his tattered clothes, Lin Luoran suddenly feels that her throat is choked. She remembers how calm and unrestrained this young man was when they first met.

This is a strange emotion. Lin Luoran thinks that it is not just “compassion” or “sympathy”.

“I didn’t mean to hurt you on the sea. I couldn’t control myself. Don’t blame me.”

Mu Tiannan makes sure the jade plate is clean enough before handing it to Lin Luoran. He defends himself in a low voice, but he has no confidence.

Lin Luoran is not familiar with such a cautious, guilty and pleasing Young Master Mu. So, she can only change another topic, “I know. Let me see your wound first.”

Mu Tiannan’s wound is very troublesome and difficult to deal with. Lin Luoran finds that the red threads that are compatible with his bone and blood are destroying Mu Tiannan’s vitality in an extremely overbearing and insidious way.

Lin Luoran uses Meta to intercept several blood vessels of his broken arm, but this can only stop the bleeding. She doesn’t know the cure for him yet.

She wants to ask him why he is injured so badly, but suddenly something comes out from the poison pond.

White Fairy has been out of the water, but she seems to suffer a lot under the pool. Her spirit body looks a little dim.

She puts eleven jade plates on the ground with two weird red fruits. She says with some regret, “Unfortunately, I only got the jade plates and two fruits in a hurry, because there were mechanisms underwater.”

It seems that the snake monster’s collection is extremely abundant. Even White Fairy is a little excited. However, Lin Luoran is not interested. After putting away all jade plates, she looks at the two fruits. The cold red color reminds Lin Luoran of the cold eyes of the double-headed snake.

Monsters love to take care of a certain spiritual seed to enjoy its mature fruits. The monster nationality is no exception. When Lin Luoran thinks that the red fruit must probably be the fruit that the snake monster gave Bai Zhi to eat to help her to do the Possession, she is also disgusted like White Fairy.

Black Tortoise has been watching. Just when Lin Luoran doesn’t know what to do with these red fruits, it says.

“Give them to him. They can stop the blood poison temporarily.”

Obviously, it means to give them to Mu Tiannan. Lin Luoran listens to it and feeds one to Mu Tiannan. Mu Tiannan’s face is distorted with pain, as if he has taken poison. However, his broken arm actually stops bleeding miraculously.

Lin Luoran asks Black Tortoise what blood poison is. But it is not patient with Mu Tiannan’s problem, only lets Lin Luoran to ask Mu Tiannan.

Things are too complicated to talk about. Mu Tiannan is not ready to confess everything. Lin Luoran can only let it go temporarily. Black Tortoise seems to want to take them somewhere else. It asks White Fairy to come up quickly.

White Fairy hesitates for a while. She feels pitiful, but she doesn’t dare to be impetuous in front of this mysterious Black Tortoise. She gets on its back obediently.

Lin Luoran sees through White Fairy’s worries and coughs a little, “Senior cultivator, do you know whether the first cultivator who went through the Divinization Doom in Lost Land succeeded or not?”

Black Tortoise knows it, but it doesn’t answer her immediately. Instead, it changes the topic, “You do something for me, and then I will tell you.”

It isn’t just a story of a little cultivator’s Divinization Doom? What it wants to tell her is much more than that!

Lin Luoran can’t figure out what she can do for Black Tortoise, but since she first saw it, she has never thought that it would harm her.

A tortoise, a person, a half monster and half demon, a soul of departed... This strange group swaggers across the Lost Land. They attract the attention of monsters along the way. However, the moment they show up, some clever ones may recognize it’s their familiar “prison guard”. They soon escape faster than rabbits.

In fact, they have been imprisoned here for so many years that many of them are no longer aggressive. If cultivators do not provoke them, they just live their happy and cozy life, and they are too lazy to move. Not every monster is as obsessed as the old bat or the double-headed snake.

The Black Tortoise stops when they arrive somewhere in the Gobi with raging sand.

Lin Luoran doesn’t expect that there is the Gobi in the Lost Land. Once she jumps down, she can see a few scorpions quickly hiding into the cracks in the rocks.

Black Tortoise walks silently. It throws Lin Luoran on the Gobi, pointing to the rocky mountain ahead and telling her that she need to get a kumquat tree back with roots.

Go to the Gobi to find a kumquat tree? Lin Luoran feels that either Black Tortoise is not normal, or she has poor hearing.

She can’t figure out what kind of strange kumquat tree can grow on a rocky mountain. Lin Luoran has to admire the creativity of nature. The Black Tortoise is very serious, and it insists that Lin Luoran should go up the mountain alone, even White Fairy can’t go with her.

Black Tortoise insists, so Lin Luoran has to walk to the rocky mountain alone in the worried gaze of Mu Tiannan and White Fairy.

Her back figure shrinks into a small spot under the sky. Without Lin Luoran as the middleman to adjust the atmosphere, White Fairy and Mu Tiannan come off the turtleback wisely and wait quietly on the Gobi.

Until the “black spot” representing Lin Luoran suddenly disappears, Black Tortoise says coldly.

“You are not good enough for her.”

Both White Fairy and Mu Tiannan are stunned. Its words are thoughtless and out of context, but both of them understand it.

The former had a similar experience. The head of Zu Mountain school just thought she was not good enough for Ye Zhao? After they had been stopped for so many years, they were finally together. However, they had such a terriblle ending because of successive mistakes and conspiracies.

Mu Tiannan is also no stranger to these words.

Yes, he knew long ago that he was not good enough for her. She was the master of the Huaxia cultivation world, but he was just an ordinary person without the Taoist root, suffering from birth, death, illness and old age.

Hundreds of years later, he was still not good enough for her.

She bears essence and becomes the god of faith for people of the Earth Federation, which is the representative of the brightest. He is in collusion with monsters, and becomes a half monster and half demon. He can only hide in the dark and calculate. He is stained with indelible darkness.

Mu Tiannan suddenly feels a little sad. Many years ago, when Lin Luoran slapped him, his love was born by then all of a sudden. Somehow, something sprouted and rooted in his heart, becoming his obsession for many years. Hypocritical writers of the New Era say that the depth of loving someone is not how good he or she is to you, but how much you have paid for him or her.

Mu Tiannan has never got a response. However, he has fallen into the demon of love year after year.

Seeing he is silent, Black Tortoise seems to be in a better mood. It continues to say, “In your situation, even if she has a way to build the Taoist root, it doesn’t apply to you. As a half-monster, you will either suffer from going mad or be abandoned by the world. You should give up as soon as possible.”

Black Tortoise’s words are reasonable. Even if Mu Tiannan wants to refute, he has no confidence in his heart because of his unrequited love, so he doesn’t say a word, just presses his lips tightly.

There are still blood stains on his face. The sun in the west of the Gobi makes Mu Tiannan look extremely cold at this moment. Together with his broken arm, it becomes a strange but thrilling beautiful scenery.

White Fairy says gently, “Outsiders have no way to know what Linny thinks.”

Although this is a short sentence, it clearly helps Mu Tiannan. Black Tortoise laughs and does not comment.

...

When the horizon of the Gobi swallows the last light of the setting sun, Lin Luoran finally arrives at the foot of the mountain. Because she doesn’t know what is in front, she speeds upto recover her Meta all the way.

She also doesn’t relax even a bit on the way to the Gobi. Reiki in Lost Land is rich, and 80% of her Meta is actually restored. Standing at the foot of the mountain, Lin Luoran gains confidence and goes straight up the mountain on her sword.

Her eyesight is enough for night vision. Besides, the rocky hill is very barren so her vision is extremely wide. Lin Luoran flies all over the hill in a short while. Unexpectedly, the kumquat tree Black Tortoise asked her to find is very easy to find. The other side of the rocky mountain is very steep. A huge nest is built with firewood beside the roots of a big dead tree. A golden shining kumquat tree is near the nest.

Abundant Reiki of the Gold makes Lin Luoran’s heartbeats much faster.

Plants are of Wood, but nature is also unpredictable. No matter what, there are still few spirit plants of the Gold because the sharpness of gold always hurts the vitality of vegetation.

This is the first time that Lin Luoran discovers such a pure species of the Gold.

How can there be no spirit animal guard for such a different species? Lin Luoran is vigilant. She dodges the sharp edge of a sneak attack behind her.

A thin golden blade nails shot to the place where she stood. It has the same light as the kumquat tree at night.
