Chapter 61

  Lin Ruo Lan only felt a dizzying spin, she didn't even have time to let out a scream; the next second, Lin Ruo Lan appeared in a completely unfamiliar place.

  Damn it! This is crazy!

  The sudden change of events still frightened Lin Ruo Lan even though she had some psychological preparation; her eyes widened in curiosity as she looked around the place where she suddenly appeared.

  Lin Ruo Lan is currently standing in a location that looks like it has mountains and water, with scenery so beautiful that it's many times more stunning than those so-called 4A or 5A scenic areas; moreover, Lin Ruo Lan can feel that the spiritual energy here is many times denser than Yun Juan Shan.

  The spiritual energy of Yunhe Mountain was already quite good, but compared to this secret realm; it's simply that there is no comparability at all, one is a high-ranking official and the other is a poor loser; can you say that these two can be mentioned in the same breath?

  Hmm…… In the distance, undulating and endless majestic mountains rise; before my eyes, a boundless sea of flowers in every color of the rainbow stretches out as far as the eye can see. And not far away, there's a lake that resembles a huge piece of jade, seeming to fill even the air with its sweet fragrance.

  Good heavens! Is this the secret realm described in those immortal cultivation stories? Lin Ruolan's mouth was agape with shock, and she couldn't close it for a long time.

  What the...? You're kidding me!

  "Good heavens, do you have to be so forceful?" Lin Ruolan furrowed her brow in distress, thinking to herself: "What the...? Could I actually be the daughter of heaven itself?"

  The legendary ferocious beast is nowhere to be seen, not even a single hair; the scenery in front of us is as beautiful as a fairyland, making people linger and forget to leave.

  However, Lin Ruolan did not relax her vigilance just because she had not seen any danger; after all, many beautiful things are often poisonous.

  Everything in front of me looks very peaceful and serene, but who knows if there is danger hidden beneath this peace and serenity? After all, this is a completely unfamiliar world for Lin Ruolan, so it's better to be careful.

  Lin Ruo Lan lowered her head and took a glance at her empty hands, where the crystal ball that was supposed to be in her possession should have been; but now it was nowhere to be found?

  Since Qing Wei Zi Lao Dao Shi that old man got himself into this, Lin Ruo Lan absolutely had reason to believe; the other party definitely wouldn't shoot without cause, but since there's nothing here what should she do next?

  Lin Ruo Lan started searching around, half an hour later; she finally found a delicate and elegant small bamboo building behind a bamboo forest, which had a few similarities to the octagonal buildings she saw when traveling in Yunnan; however, compared to the octagonal buildings in Yunnan, it appeared more exquisite.

  Since she already knew that this was an ownerless object, Lin Ruolan naturally wouldn't foolishly shout loudly: "Is anyone there?" or something like that.

  She gently pushed the door open with a soft creak, and the originally slightly ajar bamboo door slowly swung open; The interior decoration was very elegant and atmospheric, complementing the exquisite bamboo building; What made people marvel most was not the preciousness of the decorations, but that the entire house was spotless; If Lin Ruolan wasn't mistaken, this bamboo house should have some kind of treasure like a dust-repelling pearl; Otherwise, the house wouldn't be so clean.

  Looking at the exquisite objects placed inside the bamboo building, every single one is precious to the extreme; not to mention in the mundane world, even if you look around the entire Cloud Brook Mountain, you can't find a single identical item.

  After circling around, Lin Ruolan couldn't help but secretly purse her lips; indeed, the saying was true, in the world of cultivation, treasures were everywhere. With an extremely excited mood, Lin Ruolan began to search for treasure all over the bamboo building; she wanted to see if there would be any other discoveries.

  "Huh? There's a jade slip here." Just as Lin Ruolan was about to give up, she unexpectedly made a discovery.

  Originally, Lin Ruolan had searched the entire bamboo building and found that except for some rare decorations and some essential furniture, there was actually nothing related to cultivation.

  This made Lin Ruolan's originally excited heart suddenly turn cold, what was the point? She had already given up, comforting herself that if she didn't have it, then so be it! She might as well consider it a free trip out of town. But then, in the last living room on the second floor, this space gave her an unexpected surprise.

  On the table in the living room, there was a jade slip emitting a faint luster. After being overjoyed, Lin Ruolan calmed down; she picked up the jade slip and looked at it repeatedly, feeling the warmth transmitted from the jade slip to her hand; Lin Ruolan bit her teeth and remembered that she had seen some scenes in it before, she put the jade slip on her forehead; after a sharp pain, many unfamiliar information suddenly appeared in Lin Ruolan's mind.

  This jade slip contains not only the origin of the entire secret realm, but also a set of cultivation methods called "Wu Wei Tai Shang Jue". Simply put, this jade slip is a legacy jade slip; inside are the experiences and encounters of the ancestors of Yunjian Mountain in the past, as well as an introduction to the various aspects of this entire secret realm.

  Generally, the cultivation of truth is divided into nine levels, each level is further divided into nine layers; They are respectively: Qi refining period, foundation building period, golden elixir period, yuan ying period, condensing spirit period, transforming spirit period, mahayana period and finally the tribulation crossing period. After the tribulation crossing period, one can ascend in broad daylight; This is the ultimate goal of every cultivator of truth.

  This secret realm was opened up by the ancestors of Yunjian Mountain using a fairy house, and there is a spiritual vein inside; it's just that this space has such a strong spiritual energy, and the time flow rate in this space is more distorted compared to Lin Ruolan's space.

  The time in Lin Ruo Lan's space was already twisted enough, with one day outside being equivalent to a year inside; it was even more absurd in this secret realm, where one day outside was actually ten years inside.

  Damn it!

  Indeed there is no more absurd, only the most absurd!

  "Xiu Zhen's gong fa, the secret art of practicing dan; Ni Ma? This time it really is a big win." Lin Ruo Lan had a hint of excitement in her heart, probably no one in this world could resist the temptation of longevity and ascension to heaven.

  Lin Ruo Lan acknowledges that she is not a goddess, and as an ordinary person, she should have the seven emotions and six desires; Lin Ruo Lan does not deny that she possesses all of them, greed, anger, foolishness - even saints would inevitably possess these, it's just a matter of degree.

  However, the original Yunhe Mountain ancestor was just an ordinary cultivator in the cultivation world. The spiritual root he possessed was not the worst in the cultivation world; however, due to his innate talent, until he was in his fifties, this Yunhe Mountain ancestor's cultivation had always been stuck at the second layer of Qi Refining. He thought that for the rest of his life, he would never be able to advance again; unexpectedly, a great reversal suddenly occurred.

  The unlucky Cloud Brook Mountain ancestor, who had been down on his luck all his life, suddenly got a stroke of good fortune; and unexpectedly, through a coincidence, he unintentionally obtained this immortal mansion left behind by the predecessor after flying up to heaven.

  Then Yunhe Mountain's Old Ancestor settled down in the immortal mansion to cultivate with peace of mind, upholding the principle that a slow bird should fly first; and by taking time as foundation, he really succeeded in building his foundation, officially starting his long cultivation career.

  If it weren't for being betrayed by friends and unintentionally coming to this world, then Yunhe Mountain wouldn't exist either. So, as the saying goes, "Heaven's will is hard to know."

  Since there are no cultivators in this world, Lin Ruolan doesn't have to worry about anyone coming to snatch this secret realm; besides, there is the double insurance of Yun Juan Mountain outside, and now it's another thing that makes Lin Ruolan even more worried.

  Lin Ruolan obtained the Jade Scroll, which said that when the old ancestor of Yunjian Mountain built the foundation, it took a whole 40 years to succeed, and this was also due to the existence of the secret realm cheat device.

  And this will be the first time he has ever taken in air, to put it simply, he hasn't even started cultivating yet; nor does he know how many years it will take for him to successfully build his foundation.

  The ancestors of Yunxian Mountain have made it clear that if you want to leave this secret realm, it's very simple. As long as your cultivation reaches the later stage of foundation building, you can leave this secret realm. If you can be even more against the sky, then with one move, you can rush to the golden elixir stage, and this secret realm will come and go freely.

  This time Lin Ruolan couldn't help but speak, it was really... too damn frustrating? Isn't this forcing a duck to go on stage? And there's also the matter of being forced to win that prize!

  Anyway, there's nothing to do on a rainy day, so Lin Ruo Lan decided to start practicing right away and see if she could absorb the energy into her body; might as well take a look at her own qualifications first.

  Lin Ruo Lan calmed her mind, and with a hint of urgency, she began to meditate on the spot. She closed her eyes, organized the training methods in her mind, memorized them, and then started practicing according to the content. This was the first step in cultivating Qi, and only by successfully guiding Qi into the body could one enter the stage of refining Qi. Only then would she have taken the first step in true cultivation.

  The spiritual energy in this secret realm is extremely dense, and Lin Ruolan also has the rare wind-fire dual spirit root. In theory, it should be easy to guide the energy into her body, but because Lin Ruolan had just started cultivating the truth, she hadn't found a suitable cultivation method yet, so she spent a long time trying to successfully guide the energy into her body without success.

  But Lin Ruolan was not discouraged, think about it; even Yunjian Mountain's old ancestor with such trashy innate talent and spiritual roots could successfully cultivate into an immortal; it doesn't make sense that she has such good dual spiritual roots and such a clever mind; yet she would lose to an old man who is inferior to her in every way.

  As soon as Lin Ruolan's temper flared up, she got into a dispute with Yun Jianshan, the old ancestor of Cloud Stream Mountain who had long since flown away to who-knows-where.

  Finally, the heavens did not disappoint those who worked hard. When Lin Ruolan had been in the secret realm for four days, she finally found the key and successfully guided the air into her body with great ease. She smoothly entered the first layer of Qi cultivation, and under the support of the dense spiritual energy in the secret realm, of course, this was also due to Lin Ruolan's own space having been cleansed beforehand.

  Lin Ruolan entered the Qi Refining stage smoothly, and her cultivation progressed at an incredible rate; it was as if she had taken a rocket ship, shooting up rapidly to the second layer of Qi Refining, third layer, fourth layer... Before she knew it, Lin Ruolan not only successfully entered the Qi Refining stage but also charged all the way to the middle of the Qi Refining stage in one breath, stopping only at the sixth layer.

  If it weren't for the hunger pangs coming from her stomach, Lin Ruolan might have been able to focus and continue cultivating; she might have even broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining or possibly entered the Foundation Building stage.

  Her stomach was growling nonstop, reminding Lin Ruolan that she hadn't eaten for a long time; Lin Ruolan, who had stopped cultivating, hadn't even opened her eyes yet, but her nose had already caught a whiff of the nauseating sour smell; that smell really resembled the first time Lin Ruolan washed her marrow.

  My goodness!

  As soon as she opened her eyes and looked at herself, Lin Youlan almost jumped up; her entire body was covered in a thick layer of black oil stains. She really hadn't expected that after washing her marrow, there would still be so many toxins inside her body from long-term consumption of the spiritual fruits and springs in space. Thinking about it, it's actually quite terrifying.
