Chapter 216 - Inception of Spirit and The Snake Accident (1/2)

The Li’s Village has already become a remote memory for Lin Luoran. The path of cultivation is rough, and she doesn’t have time to think about Li Anping and his family.

Rong Donglin’s translation project is going on smoothly. Lin Luodong is back home from school early today and he comes to the bamboo cabin to do his homework. Lin Luoran is fine with Luodong and Rong spending time together. After all, Rong is trust-worthy in terms of moral quality and professional knowledge.

Lin Luoran comes up with an idea when she sees that Luodong is interested in the Shui script. If Luodong decides to step on the path of cultivation later, he will be in need of knowledge about these ancient scripts. Lin Luoran may as well let Luodong study the Shui script with Rong Donglin from now on. In this way, Luodong will start to lay a foundation from an early age… Even if Luodong doesn’t choose to cultivate, knowledge will never be a bad thing.

Lin Luoran leaves the study quietly. She plans to ask for Rong Donglin’s advice about this next time.

The cyan little fox is awake. Lin Luoran helps it detox again. Though the little fox is not so energetic now. Lin feels that the expressions in its eyes have become more loving than before.

Without cultivation, Lin Luoran now has a lot of spare time. Recently, Mr. Lin likes to go to the park nearby to do morning exercise. He is obsessed with practicing the Five-animal exercises along with other old men. Mr. Lin even drags Ms. Lin into this.

Ms. Lin still can’t cultivate herself. Fortunately, there are enough vegetables and fruits in Lin Luoran’s s.p.a.ce and Ms. Lin drinks spirit wine daily. She is so rejuvenated that her body is balanced and strong. Though she feels a little reluctant, she has done quite well in the Five-animal exercises.

Everybody in the Lin family is occupied. Lin Luoran walks into the bas.e.m.e.nt.

She just thought of the saplings she brought home from the mountain. She hasn’t planted these saplings yet.

Lin Luoran plants the peer tree, the chestnut tree and the fig tree in her s.p.a.ce. Then she picks an apple and starts to eat, sitting on the swing under the apple tree.

When she first found the s.p.a.ce, there were only a small pond, a young sapling, and lots of tall gra.s.s. The s.p.a.ce was smaller before. Now, she has trees of peaches, apples, cherries, grapes, pears, and figs… Also, there are all kinds of vegetables, medicines, and spirit herbs along with the mini volcano and the spring.

The s.p.a.ce looks like a botanic garden.

However, Lin Luoran still has a regret because she can’t break through the inhibition around the log cabin.

Last time, the fire phoenix in her s.p.a.ce consumed half of the Strange Fire. Lin worries about it. The log cabin is so quiet.

Lin picks some peaches, apples, and grapes and trims the branches for a few trees. Then she transports them out of the s.p.a.ce.

She puts the fruits away. In fact, Lin’s heart itches every time she thinks about the magic circle she planted around the house last time. Her original plan was to do the “Inception of Spirit” tonight, yet she feels so anxious. She must do the inception in order to test whether the plant of magic circle was a success or not.

Lin calms herself down and decides to do the inception now.

She puts some jade around herself so that they can help replenish her Wakan during the inception.

Lin sits down with her legs crossed. Wakan starts to flow out of her fingertip. First, the Wakan finds the jade under the ground nearby. Lin’s Wakan is like a thread and the jade is the needle eye. The Wakan goes through the jade and heads to the next one. One by one, the jades are connected by an invisible line. Except for Lin Luoran, no one else can see this grand view.

The glow of Wakan and jades starts to head to the core of the magic circle. When the glow reaches to the core, Lin will know whether the inception is successful or not.

In the bas.e.m.e.nt, Lin Luoran’s hand moves fast. She is trying her best to stabilize her hand gestures. Lin is aware that the Inception of Spirit will need a huge amount of Wakan, but she never expected that she might be exhausted. The circle is too large and there is a Reiki-gathering Stone at the core. Maybe Lin just doesn’t have the ability to do this. She already feels powerless when the jades are just connected.

As a matter of fact, Lin Luoran is over-confident. Back when the world of cultivation was prosperous, it took the power of an entire school to plant a protection circle in this size. Besides, cultivators before had magic weapons like the Circle Flag… Lin Luoran has nothing useful to help herself in this situation, and the inception is indeed too difficult.

However, Lin Luoran is stubborn. She never gives up without a fight. She makes several more attempts and her Wakan still can’t circulate around the jades to the core.

Being persistent doesn’t always bring about success, but giving up definitely means to lose.

Lin Luoran’s stubbornness takes the upper hand of herself. She controls her bead to absorb Reiki from the jade around her and the bead exports the Reiki to Lin’s body. The three nebulas in her pubic area seem to feel her anxiety and they start to spin faster. Now, the Reiki inside of Lin is transformed into Wakan at high speed. Lin Luoran grits her teeth and a strong light rushes out of her fingertip. The jades she buried last night feel the “summon” and respond. The Reiki inside of these jades starts to flow to the core of the magic circle.

The view in front of Lin’s eyes is like a firework show, so dazzling yet beautiful.

The Reiki runs towards the core of the circle under Lin’s control. With a final push, the Reiki finally reaches to the Reiki-gathering Stone…

The Web of Stars is completed. Lin Luoran falls down on the ground, exhausted.

Lin is waiting nervously. Fifteen seconds later, she feels disappointed. By the eighteen seconds, the glow on the Reiki-gathering Stone starts to fade!
