Chapter 211 - Study Circle Before Refine Weapons (2/2)

Lin is not sure whether she will find the Soul Wood soon. She feels that as her cultivation grows, things in life don’t become any easier.

Perhaps everybody has to experience the gains and losses of life.

“w.a.n.g, do you know where Master Jia is?”

During the past four years, every detail of the house demonstrates that it belongs to the Lin family. Master Jia, who said he was going to visit some friends, now is nowhere to be found. Lin Luoran is worried.

w.a.n.g Miao’e shakes her head. She notices Lin’s worries and she doesn’t mention the fact that Master Jia’s family has also been looking for him for four years and they find nothing. w.a.n.g hopes that no bad news is the best situation for now.

“Forget about this. Let’s go and taste the snake meat!” Lin Luoran changes the topic. She holds Lucy in her arms and heads to the dining room. The cyan little fox is also attracted by the fragrance and it follows Lin and w.a.n.g to the dining room. It tries to take out a piece of snake meat from the boiling pot, and its paws are burnt.

Ms. Lin takes out a deep plate and puts some soup and meat inside. She gives the plate to the little fox. The little fox jumps onto the chair, sits by the dinner table and starts to eat.

Lin Luodong is back home from school and Wei Xue comes with him. The two of them have become best friends and they sometimes go to each other’s house for dinner. The Lin family is happy that Luodong goes well with Wei Xue, and Wei Xue’s parents also are glad to see their daughter grow closer with Luodong. After all, Lin Luodong’s grades at school are good.

Lucy feels that her uncle Luodong is taken away by this girl she doesn’t know, and she keeps staring at Wei Xue. Wei is not afraid of Lucy either and she stares back. The adults on the table are aware of this, yet they don’t intervene.

This warm “snake dinner” is just a break for Lin Luoran. When she returns to the bas.e.m.e.nt, she becomes focused again.

Lin Luoran has drawn so many lines on the ground of the bas.e.m.e.nt that she doesn’t even have a clean place to stand.

Fortunately, the results are satisfying.

Lin is holding a crystal-clear jade. This is the best protection jade pendant she made. It took her three months to figure out the structure of protective magic circles and to carve the circles on a small jade pendant.

Zeng Tian had long since delivered the bamboo sheets Lin asked for to her house. In order to focus on the magic circles, Lin Luoran hasn’t even looked through them.

It is necessary to have effective tools to do good work. Finding the Soul Wood is certainly important, but Lin Luoran has to ensure the safety of her family first. She doesn’t want to put them in danger again.

Also, Lin Luoran finds it worthwhile to spend three months on studying magic circles. After all, magic circles are important when it comes to making some armors.

Lin gathers some Reiki on her fingertip and directs them to hit the jade pendant. When the Reiki are one meter away from the jade pendant, light starts to s.h.i.+ne on the pendant. Then, the Reiki are dissipated. Nothing else happens.

Lin Luoran makes several more attempts and the jade pendant on the ground is finally broken into dust.

Commander Qin’s jade pendant didn’t turn into dust before. It now turns out that Lin has underestimated the material of Commander Qin’s jade pendant and the crazy Taoist’s cultivation.

During the “Inception of Spirit”, pendants made from the same piece of jade may acquire different effects based on the level of cultivation of their owners.

For example, the jade pendant Lin made is able to stand any attack in the level of Training Qi, yet it only has one chance of protecting its owner from the Wakan of cultivators in the level of Laying Foundation.

Though Lin Luoran is not so skilled in weapon refining, the jade she used to make the pendant is not of the best quality… Jade can contain Reiki, which makes it the best material to carve magic circles. However, jade is not enough to serve as real weapons.

Suddenly, it comes to Lin Luoran that she once saw a large bluestone on the mountain of her native town. Back then, she only thought that the bluestone was unusual because a black epiphyllum was growing on it.

Now Lin Luoran realizes how magical the black epiphyllum is.

At that time, the flame fruit in her s.p.a.ce helped cleanse her meridians and bone marrow. It was the best time to start to cultivate, but Lin didn’t because no one was there to teach her. Only after the black epiphyllum opened her ocean of consciousness, she officially stepped on the path of cultivation. Or else she would be an ordinary person who may make a fortune by selling the vegetable she grows in the s.p.a.ce.

How could the bluestone be normal?

According to the Introduction of Swords, Lin believes that the bluestone can be used to make weapons, but she is not sure whether it is the right material to make protective pendants.

Looking at the scorpion sh.e.l.l which has become black liquid after all the boiling, Lin Luoran can’t decide whether she should go get the bluestone or not.
