Chapter 180 - Somewhere in the Desert (1/2)

“What? To Africa?” Baojia looks at Lin Luoran suspiciously, “I think you just come back!”

“Yeah… That’s why I want to go with you this time. How can I leave my dearest Baojia behind?” Lin Luoran answers, trying to make it less serious.

Being a huge enthusiast of cultivation, Baojia is now very slim. It seems to be a good idea to take her on a trip to the savannah in Africa.

Baojia raises her head, “Fine, it’s very sweet of you. It’s just… Luodong is going back to school…” She tries to reject the plan but Lin Luoran stops her and explains,

“Yes, Luodong is going back to school and my parents are going back to the city with him. You will be bored in the mountain alone.”

Baojia turns to Goldie, “I have Goldie, don’t I?”

“Goldie is more comfortable without you. Let’s go together, please~~”

Goldie looks at them and chirps as if it is confirming Lin Luoran’s words.

With Goldie’s cooperation and Lin Luoran’s “begging”, Baojia finally agrees to pause cultivation and go on a trip with her.

They have booked air tickets. Apart from Wen Guanjing, the other two have never been to Africa and both of them are very curious and excited about this mysterious continent.

Wen Guanjing’s photo was taken in somewhere called Nabimia in the Kalahari Desert. As soon as they get out of the airport, Baojia feels that the dry and hot air of Africa is too much for her.

Lin Luoran makes a water “mask” for her and she feels easier to breathe.

They don’t head for their destination immediately. According to Wen Guanjing, in the tribe of Bushmen, food, water, and necessary drugs are more useful than money.

They buy a lot of things. Lin Luoran has her s.p.a.ce. The Universal Sack now belongs to Baojia and she fills it. Watching Baojia filling the Universal Sack, Lin Luoran thinks it is enough for her even if she wants to stay in the tribe for a month or two.

Wen Guanjing gets them a guide. The guide belonged to the tribe of Bushmen, but now he has integrated into modern society. He can speak both English and the language of Bushmen and he is a suitable translator.

They travel in the desert in an SUV.

The further they get into the desert, the fewer trees and gra.s.sland they see. This savannah they see is different from the one they see on television, although they look similar.

Although Africa is rich in mineral resources, it’s not like there is gold everywhere.

The air conditioner of the SUV is broken. Cultivators like Lin Luoran can resist hot and cold, but if they close the window, Baojia will be extremely sweaty as if she is in the rain.

If they open the window, sand will come in and stick on her face, making Baojia feels nasty.

Lin Luoran looks clean and tidy with no sweat or dust on her. Baojia is a little angry, “This is heartbreaking… When can I be like you?”

Lin Luoran looks at her. Water and wood Reiki inside Baojia’s body is showing the tendency of wandering. When she can direct Reiki freely and gets the rotation of Reiki, she will officially enter the early stage of Training Qi.

“Soon. As long as you can learn to cast spells, you can keep yourself from the dust.”

Baojia looks at her “unhappily”. With her face covered with dust, she doesn’t have the mood of enjoying the scenery of the desert anymore. It seems that they will stay in the desert for a long time and she can have enough time for the scenery.

Wen Guanjing sits on the seat of co-driver and turns to Baojia, “It only took you three years to enter the early stage of Training Qi. You’re quite gifted already.” He knows better than anyone that Li Xi’er, who has Taoist root of single nature, takes less than eight years to enter the middle stage of Training Qi. Compared with her, this friend of Lin Luoran is quite admirable for what she has achieved.

Lin Luoran looks out of the window, “Gift is important, but hardworking is more important.” Baojia works really hard in cultivation. When Lin Luoran was stuck in the blood pool, Baojia has no aid at all. The fact that she could make such great progress without the help of any boluses or spirit stones shows that she has worked very hard.

The car is running in the desert for more than seven hours and they only stop and rest for a meal. Wen Guanjing and the guide named Barney take turns to drive but Baojia still feels sick.

Lin Luoran feels sorry and infuses some wood Reiki to her. Wood Reiki inside Baojia echoes to hers quickly and Baojia feels better soon.
