Chapter 12
Jin Moli was busy running around, trying to keep herself busy so that her grandmother could rest more.
Sweat dripped down her fair face, and her wisps of hair clung damply to her skin.
"Little Jasmine, do you want to rest for a while?"
"No... thank you... Sister Ling."
Jin Moli picked up a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead and went back to her work.
As Lingxi watched Jasmine's retreating figure, something occurred to her, and she mentally asked Su Yuan, "Do you think little Jasmine possesses extraordinary beauty?"
"Not bad, I can take him as my apprentice."
ah!
No, she herself has only recently started learning, why would she take on apprentices?
Lingxi asked incredulously, "Me? Taking on a disciple?"
Su Yuan replied calmly, showing no sign of absurdity, "Mm."
Speaking of this, Su Yuan felt some admiration for the mortals of this world, who, without any cultivation, relied on other objects to travel to the heavens and the earth, and never gave up. "You people are not bad."
People who often rely on classical Chinese have started to imitate Lingxi's way of speaking.
However, Lingxi was very proud that her achievements were praised by the powerful beings from another world. "That's right. I'm glad you came to my country. We are the most resilient people in the world."
Lingxi's heartfelt sense of recognition surprised Su Yuan. His brows furrowed slightly, and he said softly, "I know."
"hey-hey……"
Lin Fengjuan suddenly leaned close to her and whispered, "Ling girl, do you think my son's ashes have any dirt on them?"
When Lingxi arrived, she had already looked through his ashes and found that there was no residual energy left.
She calmly shook her head.
Seeing this, the old man put aside his last bit of worry, told Lingxi to take some food and eat it first, and then went back to work in the yard.
For a parent to bury their child, what kind of willpower does it take to get through that long, dark night?
Lingxi couldn't imagine it, nor dared she not imagine it.
Avoiding the gaze of others, Lingxi cast a healing spell on Lin Fengjuan. In just one minute, Lin Fengjuan, who was extremely exhausted but holding on mentally, felt her fatigue vanish instantly, and her complexion became rosier.
As her body instantly recovered, Lin Fengjuan subconsciously looked up at Lingxi inside the room.
Lingxi winked mischievously.
By the time the ritual ended, it was almost midnight, and people in the courtyard gradually went home.
After helping out, Jin Li and Li Yuncheng said goodbye to Ling Xi and went home.
Of course, when she left, Lingxi gave each of them a healing spell, which made Jin Li and Li Yuncheng very happy, and they became even more careful in their attitude towards Lingxi.
This made Lingxi a little unhappy, but she also knew it was only human nature.
They were all acquaintances, so Lingxi didn't hide anything. When Jin Moli came over, she did the same to her. The changes in Jin Moli and the others immediately attracted the attention of the old Taoist Yun, who hadn't left yet, and he rushed over.
Under the watchful eyes of Lin Fengjuan and Jin Moli, he brazenly stepped forward and introduced himself, "Miss Ling, I am a Taoist priest from Linxi Temple. Perhaps we could exchange a few words sometime?"
Just as Lingxi was about to refuse, saying she didn't know much about Taoism, Suyuan suddenly interrupted, "Agree to him."
Somewhat puzzled, Lingxi didn't ask directly, but smiled at Master Yun and said, "Of course, I'd like to ask you for some advice sometime."
However, after visiting a few times and getting to know each other better, could she invite him to cook at her home? With Lingyu's excellent cooking skills, she wondered how delicious it would be. Just thinking about it made Lingxi swallow hard.
Lin Fengjuan chimed in from the side, "Ling girl, don't let his old appearance fool you, he's actually quite good at cooking."
Lingxi pretended to have just heard it and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, Daoist Master, you are truly multi-talented! I really need to come and ask you for help someday."
I couldn't wait to invite them right now.
Forget it, who is she anyway? She's so shameless. I'll make my move after I get to know her better.
Upon hearing this, Master Yun's serious face broke into a wide smile, and he quickly replied, "It is my good fortune. Please come and find me. I usually stay in the temple and do not go out."
If the master weren't a young woman, and it weren't inappropriate for an old man like him to visit, he would definitely have learned Old Liu's shamelessness.
"Okay, okay."
Old Master Yun left with great reluctance.
Seeing this, Lingxi also said goodbye and went home.
Linxi Cave was exceptionally quiet in the early morning, with hardly anyone wandering around outside.
Lingxi turned a corner and flew up on the wind, arriving inside the house in just a few seconds.
Back in the house, remembering Su Yuan's suggestion that he befriend Master Yun, she asked curiously, "Su Yuan, what did you just ask me to agree to?"
"The peach wood sword on his body even seemed to possess a spiritual aura when placed on a plate."
Does it possess a spiritual quality?
Linxi Temple was passed down from the Daoist Master Yun, which means...
"You mean his ancestors had a tradition?"
Su Yuan: "Mm."
I see. It seems she'll have to figure out how to show her true abilities then.
After a quick wash, Lingxi used a cleansing spell on herself, and instantly she was clean again.
After changing into her pajamas, she stood in front of the mirror and examined herself. She took out her phone and found previous photos. Her face was still the same, but her skin tone had changed a lot. She seemed to have a glow all over her body, and her complexion was incredibly good.
In just a few days, the changes have been absolutely phenomenal!
After admiring herself in the mirror, Lingxi climbed into bed and touched her pillow with a touch of melancholy. Since she started cultivating, she had spent less and less time in bed.
Lying in bed now, I feel relaxed and refreshed, like I've had a full-body treatment.
Feels good.
With a flick of her finger, the switch at the door of the room turned off automatically. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
...
At four in the morning, the two or three leaves of Su Yuan's main body finally grew a bit and recovered some of their vitality. However, in terms of injuries, the spiritual energy was still somewhat weak. Compared to the Land of Absolute Spirit, Su Yuan was already satisfied with just a sliver of life.
He wasn't human and didn't rely much on spiritual energy, while his friend's cultivation wasn't as high as his, so he was probably in grave danger.
After Lingxi released spiritual rain onto the surrounding vegetable gardens and meadows in turn, she was just about to cultivate when she noticed something. "Suyuan, are you unhappy?"
Su Yuan regained his senses and said calmly, "I am fine, I am just worried about my friend."
friend?
"You mean you have another friend in our world?"
"Yes, we were caught in a spatial turbulence and were severely injured, ending up here. I can barely take care of myself, let alone search for him. I'm afraid he..."
The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but Lingxi understood.
So she thought for a moment and said, "Then I will work hard to plant herbs and cultivate myself, and I will keep an eye out for them for you."
Su Yuan paused for a moment, then replied, "Thank you, Ling Xi."
"You're welcome," Lingxi chuckled, muttering to herself, "So you do know my name after all!"
The jade leaves at the top of the Azure Sky Jade Tree, which were swaying in the wind, suddenly paused slightly. After a moment, Su Yuan continued to pretend he hadn't heard and went to heal his injuries.
The concealment array is invisible to others, but that doesn't mean she can't see it.
Lingxi raised an eyebrow and shrugged indifferently.
They arrived at the water lily again. A few days ago, it hadn't even reached her ankles, but today it had grown to her calves, and its spiritual energy range had expanded outward by two meters.
The concentration of spiritual energy above the land has increased slightly. Although some of it was diverted by Su Yuan, it wasn't much, and it's estimated that he was keeping it.
Lingxi began meditating and cultivating again.
The various colored spiritual lights surrounding her were absorbed by her, while the excess scattered outwards, nourishing the surrounding spiritual plants and weeds, especially the water lily, which seemed to grow even more vigorously.
Except for the grass covered by the water lily, the other plants withered the moment they absorbed the spiritual energy. Within seconds, the seeds in the ground sprouted, formed seeds, withered, and grew again in a cycle. Finally, this time it grew successfully again, with leaves so green they looked like oil, unlike anything before. After growing to a certain point, it stopped growing.
They survived, transcending past racial boundaries and gaining new opportunities.
Lingxi finally looked down and picked up her phone to search for their scientific names. Surprisingly, they were all names she had heard of or eaten before, such as purslane, mint, and mugwort.
Curious, she plucked a mint leaf, held it to her nose, and sniffed it. Instantly, her eyes widened as a cool sensation swept over her, mixed with the fresh scent of herbs, much richer than the mint she usually encountered.
This is great stuff!
Lingxi stared at them eagerly, her appetite finally about to arrive.
Hahahaha...
Tracing the origins during healing: ...
Unable to resist, Lingxi immediately picked some mint leaves. Before leaving, she turned to the vegetable garden, where the leaves had sprouted and were growing well, especially sensing the vitality of life.
Yes, not bad, they are all seeds of gratitude. No wonder she put in so much effort and cultivated them carefully every day.
Luckily, she was careful when using spiritual energy for breeding, otherwise she would have been heartbroken if she had died from not being able to consume spiritual energy!
She couldn't wait to get back to her room, wash the mint leaves, put them in a teacup, and brewed them with hot water that contained spiritual energy. After steeping for a few minutes, the rich aroma of mint in the cup was irresistible and wafted straight to her nose.
Lingxi dispelled the excess heat, and the temperature was just right when she put it in her mouth. She took a small sip, and the refreshing sensation went straight to the top of her head.
Whew~
Awesome!
In a little over a month, when the temperature rises, this will definitely be a lifesaver for cooling off.
Yes, it would be even better if it were a little sweeter.
She was enjoying herself when she sensed someone coming towards her.
Less than a minute later.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong~"
The doorbell rang.
Long Xingye, carrying a chicken coop, rang the doorbell and peered inside. Soon, Lingxi's figure appeared before him.
"Lingxi, I've brought your chicken."
As he spoke, he shook the hand holding the chicken coop.
Lingxi quickened her pace and opened the door: "Why did you bring this over for me? Thank you!"
Long Xingye's lean face was full of smiles: "I was just delivering something to Grandma Lin and stopped by on the way."
Lingxi asked about the price, picked up her phone, and paid.
Long Xingye completed his task and didn't linger, rushing back to check on the shop.
Lingxi was left standing there, staring blankly at the three half-grown chicks in the cage.
Two hens and one rooster.
The rooster's comb had just begun to emerge, pink and tender, and the three little chicks huddled together, looking at her timidly.
Lingxi softened, carried the chicken coop to the backyard, found a large bowl, added some spiritual energy to the water, and put it into the coop.
The rooster was bold and was the first to step forward and drink.
With it leading the way, the two hens also came over and started drinking water.
In the large water tank next to them, a big fish playfully jumped out with a "plop," splashing water everywhere, which startled the chicks that had finally settled down to drink water, causing them to curl up into a ball again.
Lingxi: ...
Especially its fish eyes, which seem to have a golden edge, as it surfaces, as if to say, "I did it on purpose, come and catch me!"
No, she won't catch it; she'll eat it.
It was just a big grass carp that was tired of its current position and wanted to stretch its legs: I'm innocent!!!
Indeed, once people have prejudices, no matter how the fish is handled, it will be wrong.
