Chapter 442 - The Danling Legacy (2/2)

A crystal suspends above her. Its gentle energy is improving Han Weiya’s body.

Lin Luoran doesn’t disturb it. She goes to another hut, where she finds a bronze furnace with endless fire and smoke. An elder Taoist in a green robe sits there crossing his legs. Although his face is ruddy, he has died for a long time.

Having experienced Possession, Lin Luoran is very careful at first. She checks around on full alert.

She spots the bronze furnace. It relies on h.e.l.lfire to burn. No one knows how long it has last. Is the elixir inside burnt into gray smoke?

A Jade Map lies on the bamboo case. Lin Luoran hesitates for a while but picks up the map and reads it.

To her surprise, there is no life story of the dead Taoist, but mere elixir making notes. It records some grotesque formulas of Bolus and the Taoist’s experience in making elixir.

Lin Luoran’s heart beats fast. The legacy for Han Weiya actually works the best for her.

Lucky chance and blessings are the most important in cultivation. Han Weiya seems to be blessed by the Peach Blossom Island— However, this little girl does not have the Taoist root. Is it destined?

Lin Luoran puts down Jade Map. She has to think about it.

According to Jade Map, the elixir in the furnace is left to someone destined to have his legacy. Lin Luoran is familiar with the elixir. It is called Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir.

An elixir of the sixth grade upper rank!

Taking this rare elixir, cultivators who haven’t come to the period of Bearing the Essence can improve their personal ability. Its formula of Bolus is complicated, and the medication hard to find. Even spirit herbs in Lin Luoran’s s.p.a.ce are not enough. To pa.s.s on his legacy, the Taoist made efforts.

However, though Han Weiya is the lucky one, she can’t even solidify the elixir.

The Taoist’s way of selecting a successor is pretty good. First, that has to be a Huaxia person. Only those born on earth can improve their personal ability. Second, that person has to reach this star. Before getting the period of Bearing Essence, they can only follow the elders to travel in s.p.a.ce— The problem is with the following development of technology, everybody can reach this wild star. Han Weiya has the blood to inherit the legacy, but she has no Taoist root.

Lin Luoran sighs. She wants the formula of Bolus and this supposedly excellent alchemy furnace, but she hasn’t determined to shape her Taoist root. It costs an enormous amount of the power of faith. Without a guaranteed supplement of the power, she dares not take the risk.

Thinking for a while, she uses the solidifying technique in Jade Map. Relying on her personal ability in the late stage of Bearing Essence, she collects the sixth Grade elixir that has been in the furnace for years.

Those are crimson red elixirs. Lin Luoran doesn’t know if it’s because they are hard to make, or that she is not familiar with the solidifying techniques. She only gets three, and she puts them up in a jade box.

Looking at the old Taoist on the couch, she wants to bury him in this beautiful peach forest. However, a question popping in her head makes her pause.

Why did she a.s.sume the Taoist was waiting for some descendants with Huaxia blood?!

She starts to recall the peach forest, this cottage, his appearance, and the text on Jade Map… he was an earthling himself! Lin Luoran suddenly realizes. She apologizes in a low voice, checking the four gra.s.s rooms. Still no trace of the Taoist’s history. Except for the elixir making notes and the elixir, the only thing he left is the crystal suspending above Han Weiya’s body.

Without checking the crystal, she can’t keep investigating. Taking the crystal will interrupts Han Weiya’s treatment, and she will be guilty. But if she doesn’t take it… Lin Luoran calls out White Fairy from the s.p.a.ce.

“White Fairy, please look at that Taoist.”

White Fairy concentrates her power, looking at the lush peach forest, and then at the deceased Taoist.

She looks a little confused, for she seems to have seen this face. However, she doesn’t remember what happened more than a thousand years ago. After a second look at the forest, a memory of her childhood pops up in her mind.

“He… he is Taoist Danling!”

Lin Luoran also feels shocked. Now that White Fairy knows the Taoist, he must come from the earth as Lin thought.

But why did he die on this star? He has a peaceful face, which means he wasn’t seriously injured. Reiki here is far richer than that on the earth… Why didn’t he advance?

White Fairy looks even more shocked than Lin Luoran.

“That year I just laid my Foundation. A guest visited the Misty Palace. The grandmaster asked me to meet the visitor. That was Taoist Danling. As the ancestor of Gathering Vitality, he was a very important guest for Misty Palace. The grandmaster told me Taoist Danling’s favorite thing is the peach blossom and he lived on an island overseas… Later it was said in the world of cultivation in Huaxia that he has reached Divinization and become immortal.”

Divinization! Becoming immortal!

Does the so-called immortality after Divinization only mean leaving the earth for another star?

Lin Luoran’s a little overwhelmed by confusion.
