Chapter 55 - Night Visit to the Boudoir (1/2)
That night, Mu Tiannan stays in Lin’s guest room. Lin Luoran lives alone in the building in the back yard, which is nowhere near Mu Tiannan, and this comforts her a little bit.
Usually, Lin Luoran cultivates in the mysterious s.p.a.ce. Now an outsider is in her house, so she just lays a mat on the floor and tries to return tranquility in the room.
During her trip to Ruili, Lin Luoran had humiliated the arrogant Elly and bought several leftover raw stones for herself. What’s more important is that she has managed to absorb all the Reiki from the raw stones from the auction, which is more than she can absorb in a month while working as a salesgirl!
Lin Luoran can feel the flowing Reiki when only her spirit goes into the bead. In the medicine field, Reiki from various plants intermingle, which makes her want to transport into the s.p.a.ce immediately. However, thinking about Mu Tiannan who is sleeping in her front yard, Lin Luoran somehow feels risky to do so.
She draws her spirit back and holds her thirst of going into the s.p.a.ce. Lin Luoran decides to sit in meditation.
Keeping the breathing methods that she learns from Master Jia in mind, Lin Luoran goes into the state of inward vision again. The Reiki she absorbs from the bead not only fills her meridians, but also nourishes her bones and muscles.
Lin Luoran fixes her concentration on pus.h.i.+ng Reiki which starts to flow along her meridians. With this huge success, Lin Luoran “looks at” the Reiki inside of her and hopes to push herself tonight into breaking through the bottleneck.
For Lin Luoran, the insufficiency of Reiki is no longer a problem because the bead can continuously export Reiki to her body. Her current problem is that she can’t direct Reiki with ease and she can only stare at the plenty of Reiki inside of her and do nothing.
Lin Luoran focus on herself. Reiki is flowing around in her meridians and tangling with each other like thread ends. When she forces to direct them, they will tangle even much.
Well? What if she disentangles them?
Lin Luoran suddenly understands. She has a hunch that she has found the right way this time and starts to tease out the Reiki. She picks two thin thread ends and combines them. The third end, the fourth end… In this way, Lin Luoran manages to combine all the threads of Reiki into one!
Lin Luoran nearly burst out laughing, looking at the struggling Reiki.
Despite the resistance of Reiki, Lin Luoran keeps mixing them in the way Luodong makes clay dolls. Gradually, she closes the interval between and merges them into one.
Lin Luoran makes lots of efforts to gain absolute command on Reiki. She doesn’t have time to feel glad and carefully guide Reiki to flow along her meridians— Her bones marrow is cleansed and her meridians are cleared because of the flame fruit, so she can easily handle the blocks in her meridians. The hards.h.i.+p in her cultivation is that she doesn’t have a teacher, a textbook or a companion. She has to explore everything by herself and she has no idea about what is right.
Cultivation is difficult, but Lin Luoran is willing to spend time on trying. She never wants to go back to her ordinary self again.
She will go further down this road and have a wider world, right?
“Boom…” Like fireworks exploding, Reiki finally finishes a whole flow under Lin Luoran’s command! It’s exactly the same as the last time when she suddenly gets the inward vision!
Lin Luoran breathes out the turbid air and feels relaxed. Every pore of her is stretched, absorbing Reiki from the bead greedily.
Lin Luoran calms herself down. She goes on merging Reiki and guides them to flow.
The weather of winter is cold and dry. But Lin Luoran’s room is humid because of her cultivation.
