LADY LIN'S FIRST-EVER JOURNEY TO IMMORTALITY

276-280

Chapter 276 Enlightenment at the Foot of Mount Qingcheng

Lin Luoran closes her eyes and uses her spiritual mind to see the world.

The noise of the tourists slowly fades away, then she can't hear the conversation between people around her. All that on her mind is the spiral of smoke and the slow ring of the bell in the Qingcheng Taoist Temple.

The ring of the bell sounds serious and grand.

Every time the bell rings, Lin Luoran's ears shiver. Gradually, all she can see are the five colors in the world and all she can hear is the purest sound of nature.

The first thing Lin Luoran notices is fire. A flame fruit helped cleansed her bone marrow, which means that she is destined to be close with the nature of fire.

The tourists are holding candles in their hands. The little flames shake because of the wind. The flames sense the presence of Lin's spiritual mind and grumble to it that the wind is bothering them. Lin Luoran blocks the wind for the flames and they laugh. Molecules of fire Reiki are small and naughty. They surround Lin Luoran and keep talking to her. Lin Luoran hears them talking with a smile and pays her attention to other things.

Spring is running in the mountain and the water splashes on the rocks like pearls.

The spring runs freely in the mountain among the mist. The water Reiki molecules are crystal blue. Mountain and water always keep each other companied. The cold rocks further bring out the flexibility and mildness of the water.

In winter, most of the plants on Mount Qingcheng wither. Yellow and dark green grass cover the mountain. A few trees still are vigorous in the face of the coldness, which show the toughness of trees.

A pine tree's branches bend because of the heavy snow on them. Lin Luoran can feel that the wood Reiki in the tree is temporarily suppressed by water Reiki. In fact, "suppress" may be the wrong word for this. During the four seasons, Reiki of the five natures each has its own prime time. When one kind of Reiki is at its peak, other Reiki will step down and let the one shine.

For example, right here, right now, water Reiki becomes outstanding after snow falls.

Although snow has bent the branches of the tree, water and wood Reiki are not against each other. The reason is that snow will melt into water when spring comes and nourish all of the plants on the mountain. The snow water will also merge into a little spring and it will run down to the plain down the mountain and provide water for this land.

Lin Luoran can even sense the seeds of plants under the snow. The seeds need energy to sprout and they need to sleep through winter and preserve enough energy to sprout in the spring.

Lin Luoran's spiritual mind runs around and sees the modest earth Reiki. Earth will turn into porcelain after being burnt in the fire. In the cold winter, earth stays put. When spring comes, it will be washed away by the snow water and settle down at another place. Various kinds of plants grow on earth, which provides nourishment for wood Reiki. Without earth, no plant can live and there will be no wood Reiki in the world.

Earth quietly devotes itself generously.

All the jars Lin Luoran made prove that earth is malleable. Square, round, carved and painted... Earth can be whatever it is made to be.

What about gold? Where is gold Reiki?

All the metals and minerals buried under the ground belong to the nature of gold.

The strong energy of life in the plants belongs to the nature of gold.

The break of a branch and a step in a pond also belong to the nature of gold.
