Chapter 142 - Chronicle of the Nine Provinces (1/2)

Her mom doesn’t have a Taoist root, which is for Lin Luoran to accept. She is not in the mood of reading Chronicle of the Nine Provinces, nor is she in the mood of cultivation. Having trouble sleeping, she feels restless and goes into the s.p.a.ce.

The s.p.a.ce seems to expand again. Lin Luoran a.s.sumes that its size may be connected with her ability. Apart from this, she has got another a.s.sumption that sapling is of fire nature and ice gra.s.s is of water nature. Is there a connection between their natures and the nature of awaken Taoist root inside her and the size of the s.p.a.ce?

Lin Luoran has no way to prove this a.s.sumption. She makes a decision to herself that she needs to pay more attention to spirit plants of the other three natures — it might take another object at least at the same level with the sapling and ice gra.s.s to trigger another change of the s.p.a.ce.

What’s more, when will the log cabin covered by the inhibition be opened?

Will the golden pattern in her dream be hidden inside the cabin？

That mysterious power — is it able to solve the problem of her mom’s Taoist root? Shaking her head, Lin Luoran puts all the problems aside and starts to reorganize the s.p.a.ce which appears to be messy.

Lin Luoran checks what she has gained from the trip into the secret land:

Eight jars of monkey fruit wine neatly placed under the peach tree;

Three pots of Luminous Sand that she risked her life to get in the bat cave. She is sure that the white one is millenary, but she doesn’t know about the yellow one or the golden crystal one.

Two Monkey Mushrooms, the guiding ingredient of Foundation-laying Bolus, given by the old monkey. Of course, one of them belongs to Li Xi’er.

A lot of “weeds” found at the cave of the black bear… This kind of weed with seven light-spots glittering in the dark is called “Seven Stars Gra.s.s” and it is not just a main herb of Foundation-laying Bolus. Many other boluses need it as well.

If she didn’t find this large amount of Seven Stars Gra.s.s, Lin Luoran would not determine to look for the Luminous Sand. It’s a pity that the Seven Stars Gra.s.s is very dry, or she will be able to plant some in the s.p.a.ce and it will be inexhaustible.

There are also several kinds of spirit herbs alongside with a bag of seeds. Lin Luoran feels that all the herbs and seeds are enough for her whole family in a century.

Among all the main and subsidiary ingredients mentioned in the formula of Foundation-laying Bolus, there is only one ingredient, “b.u.t.terflybush Flower”, which Lin Luoran has not found yet. She is, however, not worried at all. Huaxia cultivators that went into the secret land have all agreed that they can exchange what they have found in the secret land after getting out. Lin Luoran hasn’t found the “b.u.t.terflybush Flower”, but someone else may have found it.

These are all material objects. Actually, the most valuable thing for her is getting the chance to meet White Fairy.

Moreover, she gets a complete version of Introduction of Swords with the final parts that Wen Guanjing didn’t have the chance to read. She a.s.sumes that maybe the only complete version is in her hand.

She has also learnt the Sword-riding Spell. Therefore, she can fly on the Sword of Bright Snow and save a lot of air ticket money… Kidding. There is a collection of water spells of sword as well. She guesses that it is a personal collection of White Fairy. The spells recorded are very powerful. Lin Luoran only cast a “Frost’s Descent” and that j.a.panese cultivator was killed.

For Lin Luoran, the most useful object right now is the memory bead of White Fairy before she went asleep. The memory bead is like an encyclopedia of Bearing Essence. Even though she hasn’t laid foundation yet, there are still a lot of helpful information in it.

She has got another great creature, Goldie. White Fairy told her that it is a “golden hawk” and it has a lot of potentials. Lin Luoran will spend more time training it.

Ice gra.s.s comes from the Arctic. It is a gift from the trip to the secret land.

Apart from all above, Lin Luoran also gets a messy s.p.a.ce, just in front of her —

The vines of fleece flower are entangling the ginseng. Under the pepper grows the spirit herb named “jade gra.s.s” and there are several clumps of bright-colored “flower mushroom”, which are very rare, growing between chives.

In a word, the reorganization of the s.p.a.ce is pressing!

The s.p.a.ce has doubled its size and it fits Lin Luoran’s planting scheme. The peach tree is a must as Lin Luoran wants to make wine herself but she cannot grow grains to make wine. Fruit is a better choice.

There are several peach trees in the s.p.a.ce. Lin Luoran plans to keep two of them in the s.p.a.ce and transplant others out. They can be transplanted in the backyard of the Villa or the house downtown as there is enough s.p.a.ce.

Fortunately, when Lin Luoran planted the peach trees, she had a plan. Around the pool, all peach trees are planted at the periphery and they are near the cabin. There is no need for transplanting right now. No matter if the s.p.a.ce will expand or not in the future, the size of the periphery will not change, so it will be kept for fruit trees.

Lin Luoran not only arranges a place for fruit trees, she also saves a place for tea trees. She is targeting at the tree of Dahongpao tea, the best kind of Wuyi tea.

After that, she starts the arrangement of vegetables. Vegetables grow very fast, so she doesn’t have to plant much of every kind and it will be enough for the family and close friends. However, there are only some kinds of common vegetables and there are no mushrooms here. Lin Luoran believes that if spirit mushroom can grow here, ordinary mushrooms should be the same. Therefore, she is thinking about adding more “species”.

Bamboo shoots occur to her. Is it possible that she can plant a few bamboos and eat the bamboo shoots? The size of the soil in the s.p.a.ce is more than half mu, but bamboo needs a large s.p.a.ce to grow. She decides not to grow bamboos for now. Putting this thought aside, Lin Luoran starts to transplant the medicines.
