Chapter 340 Bearing Essence (II)
The season in this valley is spring all the year round. Facing the dual test of h.e.l.lfire and snow, the Wood has still found an opportunity to survive in cracks. Otherwise, the spirit herb “green light flower” can’t grow there.
And this place is so close to the gra.s.sland…
Crossing the exit of the valley, it is the vast Snow Mountains. At the foot of these mountains, it is the Naqu gra.s.sland in hibernation. It’s not a good idea for Ze Yitong to meet others. Because she has lost an arm, and if inconsiderate people tease her or even treat her improperly, it will have an indelible impact on the little girl’s growth.
So Lin Luoran wants to bear Essence in this valley covered by dense fog in half a year. Then she will take Ze Yitong home after curing her arm.
“Ajia, are we going to stay here for a long time?”
With a bunch of delicious grapes in her hand, Ze Yitong follows Lin Luoran, watching her bustling around the cave.
Lin Luoran awakened her and promised to make her arm regrow. Knowing these, the little girl can bear the effects of the uncertainty more easily. Besides, Ze Yitong has seen the talking wolf with her own eyes. She has also seen that Lin Luoran takes out different delicious food from nowhere every day like magic. For the promise of regrowing her broken arm, the little girl also becomes more confident.
Lin Luoran flattens and enlarges the entrance of the cave. This natural cave with a hot spring pool will be Ze Yitong’s bedroom in the next half year. She is a human girl walking upright, which is totally different from the wolf of the Wood which can just go through walls. The entrance of this cave is too small for her.
“No. Most of the time you will live here alone. Ze Yitong, do you have enough courage to do it?” Lin Luoran weaves soft fine gra.s.s into a straw mat. Stepping on it with barefoot is cool and soft. She also hunts for two pieces of wolf skins so if Ze Yitong occasionally goes out to play, she will not feel cold.
Ze Yitong raises her head high, “Of course I have. I’m the daughter of the gra.s.sland!”
Lin Luoran smiles and encourages her. Ze Yitong suddenly switches her tone and is a little bit discouraged, “But if Ajia is not here, I will be boring in the valley alone.” Seeing it this way, she feels delicious grapes suddenly become insipid.
Lin Luoran smiles and takes her to the cave where the green light flower was, “Who said that I will not be in the valley? There is only a mountain wall between you and me. However, to find a way to cure your arm, we can’t often see each other, understand? Moreover, when you are bored, you can ride White Cloud to play nearby the Snow Mountains. ”
White Cloud is in the valley. Not just White Cloud, all wild horses are here.
The valley has an area of nearly ten square miles which is totally enough to accommodate hundreds of wild horses. There is still plenty of gra.s.s and leaves here in winter. The wild horses have already regarded this valley as a paradise. Of course, prairie wolves don’t dare to return. If Lin Luoran is here, her deterrence will cover the whole valley. She is not a killer, and the herbivores as wild horses and hares are not influenced by her hostility. Only the cunning and fierce predators as the prairie wolves will be scared of being in this valley.
Lin Luoran definitely can’t just begin her closed-door training with these preparations. It takes her a day to make a jade plate for Ze Yitong.
It is a defensive magic circle she learned from the crazy Taoist. Although it cannot be compared to the one that the crazy Taoist made for Jiang Mingyue, with its protection, the most powerful attacks which Ze Yitong may suffer in the Snow Mountains can never hurt her.
Lin Luoran puts the jade plate around Ze Yitong’s neck. She also builds an ice storage pond in the cave. Lin Luoran grants power of the Water in it and will reinforce it every month. In this way, the ice inside will not melt and the fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat stored in it will not decay. In this way, even if Lin Luoran has enlightenment and forgets the pa.s.sage of time, Ze Yitong will not starve to death.
Of course, there is still a lot of rice and flour in Lin Luoran’s s.p.a.ce. These staple foods do not need to be stored like this. They can be kept for a long time as long as they are not affected by dampness.
There is one more thing. Ze Yitong is not a cultivator so she cannot use the convenient Fire Ball spell, which means Lin Luoran has to prepare firewood besides food.
There are many wild yaks in the valley so there will be enough dried cow dung to light a fire. If Ze Yitong starts to do it herself, fire will not be a problem. Having said that, Lin Luoran still makes room for some hay… Her way of collecting firewood is direct and crude. With a rolling wind, the hay on the ground runs over automatically.
Seeing it, the little girl Ze Yitong is curious and inquiring.
Lin Luoran knows she wants to learn. But like Mrs. Lin, Ze Yitong has no Taoist root.
“Ajia, I can take good care of myself. Don’t worry.” She is in the hot spring and eats all kinds of fruit and vegetables produced in the s.p.a.ce all the time. Also, there is no wind and sand in the valley which is covered by dense fog without strong sunlight. So Ze Yitong’s cheeks gradually become fair in just half a month, making her eyes look more agile.
