Chapter 64

  A heart-wrenching and soul-crushing pain suddenly struck Lin Ruo Lan, and for the first time in her life, she felt the approach of death.

  "Uh... it hurts so much." Due to the intense pain all over her body, Lin Ruo Lan's mind was a bit dazed: "Am I going to die soon? Dad, Mom, are you coming to take your daughter away?"

  In a daze, Lin Ruolan seemed to see her parents from her past life standing in the white halo, looking at her with affectionate faces. At this moment, Lin Ruolan couldn't help but shed tears: "Dad, Mom... daughter misses you so much, waaahhh..." Before she could finish speaking, Lin Ruolan was already sobbing uncontrollably.

  At this moment, Lin Ruolan did not know that she had fallen into an illusion; the scenes and people in this illusion were the ones she missed most in her heart. If she was willing to indulge in it, she might never wake up again.

  "Silly child, have you forgotten? Lin Ruo Lan's father from her past life smiled with a loving face and gently looked at Lin Ruo Lan saying: "Your dad and mom have been dead for many years due to an air crash."

  Is it?

  Lin Ruo Lan listened to her old man's words, and her eyes were momentarily stunned; what plane crash? Being reminded by her own father like this, Lin Ruo Lan thought hard again and again; it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, and her parents had indeed died in the same plane crash.

  "Dad, Mom, are you here to pick me up and go together?" Lin Ruo Lan looked at the two familiar faces in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

  Hmmm... She doesn't care whether her parents are human or ghosts, nor does she care whether this is a dream or reality; Lin Ruolan only cares about one thing: whether she can be with her parents forever and never have to part ways again.

  "It's really a silly girl." Lin Ruo Lan's mother had tears in her eyes, looking at her once most precious and well-behaved daughter; Lin Ruo Lan's mother's eyes turned red in an instant.

  "Silly girl, have you forgotten? Father and Mother are no longer in the same world as you. This time, Father and Mother begged Lord Yan for a very long time; only then did he relent and allow us to come up and see you."

  "Mom, what do you mean by that? Don't you want a daughter anymore?" Lin Ruolan's face suddenly changed to one of panic and urgency, not knowing why her heart was aching more and more.

  "Good daughter, your father and mother are about to reincarnate again; from now on, we really won't have the chance to see our good daughter again." Lin Ruo Lan's father looked at Lin Ruo Lan and finally spoke out the purpose of their trip today.

  Lin Ruo Lan's mother looked into Lin Ruo Lan's eyes with nostalgia and reluctance: "Foolish girl, you must remember; no matter where Dad and Mom go in the future? You will always be the most precious treasure in Dad and Mom's hearts."

  Lin Ruolan's mother opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Ruolan's father: "Wife, it's really getting late, we should go; otherwise, if we delay and Lord Yan finds out, he will definitely be furious."

  "Don't... Dad, Mom... come back, don't... don't leave me alone, don't..." Lin Ruolan cried out in a panic, watching as her parents' figures grew thinner and thinner; she was on the verge of losing control.

  "Silly child, really is a silly child..."

  Lin Ruolan's mother's voice was carried by the wind and faintly reached Lin Ruolan's ears, with a hint of comfort: "Don't you forget that in this world, you still have parents and an older brother who love you more than their own lives; can you really bear to abandon them and not care about them?"

  Are you the father and elder brother of this world?

  Lin Ruo Lan couldn't help but mutter to herself, her mind flashing with the voices and appearances of Mrs. Lin, Old Master Lin, and the whole Lin family, including Lin Ru Hai.

  Hehe...... Right! How could she have forgotten that she wasn't alone in this world; here, there were also parents and an older brother who cherished her like a treasure.

  A faint holy smile hung on Lin Ruolan's lips, and her mind seemed to understand something; but when she thought carefully, it was as if she couldn't think of anything.

  With a loud "boom", Lin Ruolan, who had been floating in the lake with her eyes closed, was suddenly surrounded by a strange silver light circle. The silver halo enveloped Lin Ruolan's entire body, and the skin and capillaries on her body that had burst open due to the impact of the spiritual energy were rapidly self-repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  Even so, the thick spiritual energy in the lake still surged towards Lin Ruolan's body; although Lin Ruolan's speed of absorbing and digesting the spiritual energy was already quite fast, she still felt a bit overwhelmed.

  Just as a disaster of unprecedented proportions was brewing at the most critical moment, the entire situation suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

  The scarlet plum blossom mark on Lin Ruolan's arm was burning hot again, this time the temperature was higher than last time; it was clear that she had encountered an even more powerful opponent.

  With the help of the plum blossom mark, the spiritual energy inside Lin Ruolan's body seemed to have found an outlet; it rushed towards the plum blossom mark on Lin Ruolan's arm, and soon most of the spiritual energy in the lake was absorbed by the plum blossom mark.

  Uh... to be more accurate, it should be said that she was shared by Lin Ruolan's space; with the help of the plum blossom mark, Lin Ruolan finally got a temporary breathing space; she didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly recited the 'Wu Wei Tai Shang Jue' heart method in her own heart, slowly operating the accumulated spiritual energy in her body; began to absorb and refine.

  Hmmm... what was that phrase again? Ah yes... I think it's called "good fortune and bad luck are intertwined" or maybe "how can one know whether the loss of a horse is not actually a blessing in disguise?"

  With a 'boom', Lin Ruolan felt it inside her body; as if something suddenly burst open, she who had been stuck at the Great Circle stage due to not having a Foundation Establishment Pill, actually broke through so smoothly and officially entered the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

  Damn it!

  Can sauce be purple too?

  I didn't know my Plum Blossom Seal had such a function! Unfortunately, I'm currently in the Secret Realm, so I can't enter the space; otherwise, she could also go take a look at her own space after absorbing so much spiritual energy. Has it undergone earth-shattering changes? Lin Ruolan's heart began to have small expectations.

  Just as Lin Ruolan was overjoyed, there was an even bigger surprise waiting for her; with a large amount of spiritual energy pouring in from the lake water, her cultivation soared like a rocket; 'Zooming' all the way up.

  Thanks to the help of the plum blossom mark, Lin Ruolan no longer had to worry about her body bursting from the large amount of spiritual energy surging into it; she closed her eyes with great difficulty and began to focus wholeheartedly on her cultivation.

  With the help of a large amount of spiritual energy in the lake, Lin Ruolan's cultivation broke through layer by layer; her cultivation was like sitting on a rocket, constantly and rapidly rising, just like the blink of an eye. Lin Ruolan's cultivation suddenly rose to the late stage of foundation building, all the way to the realm of great perfection, and it wasn't until then that she couldn't break through anymore that she stopped.

  It's strange to say, just after Lin Ruolan stopped cultivating and absorbing spiritual energy; even more bizarre things happened. The lake water that was originally supposed to be rich in spiritual energy; at this moment, it was like when she first entered the secret realm, with only a faint hint of weak spiritual energy hidden in the lake water.

  If she hadn't experienced it all herself just now, Lin Ruolan would really have thought that everything that had happened earlier was just a dream.

  Lin Ruolan slowly opened her eyes, and a sharp glint flashed through them; was there something fishy going on? If you said there were no other tricks up their sleeves, Lin Ruolan would not believe it even if you killed her.

  However, for the time being, Lin Ruolan didn't have that much American time to spare on other things; she first used her inner sight to examine her own cultivation, and this one look almost made her laugh with joy.

  Haha…… This time, I really made a huge profit, damn it? Her original cultivation was only in the late stage of Qi Refining, but this time she suddenly succeeded in building her foundation, not to mention that she also reached the late stage of Building Foundation.

  Lin Ruolan smiled, showing her teeth but not her eyes, hehe... Old Heaven is really one's own father, damn it? Can it be like this? As soon as she thought that once she reached the later stage of foundation building, she could leave this secret realm smoothly; Lin Ruolan's smile almost never disappeared.

  Lin Ruolan remained in the lake, smiling foolishly non-stop, until a thick fragrance wafted into her nostrils; only then did she come to from her state of foolish joy.

  Right? The seven-colored fluorescent light in the center of the lake... It wasn't until now that Lin Ruolan suddenly remembered her original intention for jumping into this lake.

  "Wow... so beautiful!" Lin Ruolan raised her head to gaze at the nearby cluster of seven-colored neon lights, and was immediately captivated by them.

  When the fragrance was almost intoxicating, a brilliant light burst forth from the center of the lake, as dazzling as sunlight; after the brilliance passed, Lin Ruolan was surprised to discover that in the center of the lake, enveloped by a seven-colored fluorescent glow, was actually a transparent lotus flower like crystal.

  Damn it!

  Lotus actually has transparent ones like crystal? Lin Ruolan was stunned.

  The lotus flower, she had seen many in her past and present life; red, white, purple, yellow, pink... all kinds of colors, but this transparent crystal-like lotus flower was something she had never seen before.

  It's surprising that even the lotus leaf is as transparent as crystal; if Yuelin wasn't standing in the lake, and wasn't just a foot away from this transparent crystal lotus flower, she might not have discovered it.

  In fact, Lin Ruolan was able to successfully build the foundation without using the Zhudi Dan, all thanks to the blessings of this transparent crystal lotus flower.
