Chapter 65

  This transparent crystal lotus is called - the Essence of Water! It's a rare and precious spiritual medicine in the Cultivation Realm, even now it's almost impossible to find another one like this.

  This water spirit is literally named, it was originally a companion creature of the water system crystal; only in places with dense water elements and possessing water system crystals will there be the birth of a water spirit, and this water spirit needs to be nurtured for nearly ten thousand years before it can bloom into such a pure and flawless water spirit.

  To put it simply, to nurture such a water spirit; the timing of heaven and earth is indispensable, and there must be great luck here to allow the water spirit to bloom.

  The year Yunhe Mountain ancestor got this fairy house, just below it has a strong water element; after tens of thousands of years finally formed the water system crystal, and this water spirit is born with the water system crystal symbiotic organisms.

  In the Xiu Zhen realm, there was once a legend that said among the five elements of spiritual roots - metal, wood, water, fire and earth; except for those with fire and earth spiritual roots, others such as those with wood, metal and originally water spiritual roots who cultivate; no matter who, as long as they can obtain the Water Elemental Crystal and refine it, they will be able to possess the ability to control water elements.

  To put it simply, the water-based crystal is a treasure; whoever gets their hands on this thing will have the ability to summon the wind and rain; can control everything in the world related to water, becoming the one and only water god.

  The effect of this water spirit is not as against the sky as that of the water system crystal, but it is equally not to be underestimated; just by looking at its spiritual energy in the moment when the flower blooms, Lin Ruolan, who has no foundation-building pill, can quickly succeed in building her foundation, let alone its effect on those who have already reached the late stage of foundation-building and are approaching the Great Perfection.

  However... Lin Ruolan was naturally unaware of all this, and in the legacy left by the Jade Slip, there were no records of the Water Elemental Crystal and the Water Spirit.

  Even so, clever as Lin Ruolan; naturally or more or less guessed a bit, she wouldn't be able to successfully build the foundation for no reason; probably her ability to successfully build the foundation has an inseparable relationship with the transparent crystal lotus flowers in this lake.

  Haha...... I have to say, you're really something, girl!

  Since they have successfully entered the late stage of Building Foundation's Great Perfection Realm, Lin Ruolan is no longer in a hurry to leave the secret realm; at first, Lin Ruolan was anxious for a simple reason.

  Think about it, Zhujidan doesn't have anything; isn't leaving the secret realm just empty talk? This way, Lin Ruolan will naturally become restless.

  But this would allow him to not only build a solid foundation, but also reach the threshold of making a breakthrough to the Golden Elixir stage at any moment; since he could come and go as he pleased, Lin Ruolan naturally didn't have to worry; thinking about it this way, Lin Ruolan actually felt that this secret realm wasn't bad after all, it was a very suitable place for quiet cultivation.

  Although Lin Ruolan, a true immortal, had not experienced it before, she understood the principle of "haste makes waste". She knew that her cultivation progress was relatively fast. In order to consolidate her realm, Lin Ruolan decided not to rush out of the secret realm and instead stayed inside to cultivate more.

  Her cultivation progress is too fast, she worries that when the time comes to face the tribulation of thunder, her mental state will not be strong enough and she will end up in a terrible situation; Hehe... maybe she won't even know how she died.

  It was precisely because of this that Lin Ruolan decided to stay in the secret realm and continue her cultivation, so as to reach a state where her mental state and cultivation could progress and merge together.

  Yan Chixia never dreamed that his own wife would take their daughter and leave home; such a thing had not happened since Yan Chixia married Sima San Niang over a decade ago.

  Yan Chixia looked at her empty home, and the striking line of large characters written on the wall with talisman paper; Yan Chixia's already astonished heart suddenly became riddled with holes.

  The original message from Sima San Niang was written like this...

  Yan Chi Xia, I'm leaving. Since the Taoist way is more important to you than your wife and daughter, then from now on, just focus on cultivating your Taoist skills and live out your days. Hong Ye, I'll take her with me too. With the Taoist way in hand, I suppose you won't miss having a daughter anymore?

  The final signature is Sima's three daughters' names, with four big characters - "Good for them!"

  Damn it!

  Is there anyone in this world who is more tragic than myself?

  Yan Chi-hsia's heart was choked with grief, himself... he was actually abandoned by his own wife, and his own wife even took away his only daughter.

  Nima, Yan Chixia felt that being a man and ending up like this was truly a failure; uh... no, it should be extremely extremely failed!

  "Waaaahhh..."

  Yan Chixia immediately squatted down at her own door, wiping away tears without caring: "Mother, how can you say such things to me? When did I ever consider the Taoist techniques more important than you and Hongye?"

  Yan Chixia admitted that he was indeed infatuated with the Taoist arts, but that was just an infatuation; Sima San Niang was Yan Chixia's most beloved woman, and also Yan Hongye... In Yan Chixia's heart, there was nothing in this world more important than Sima San Niang and Yan Hongye, mother and daughter.

  Simma San Niang has been staying in the Xuanxin Orthodox Sect for most of the time since she got married to herself, rarely leaving; and what about Yan Hong Ye? Yan Chi Xiao was a bit dazed as he recalled that his family's precious daughter seemed to have never left the Xuanxin Orthodox Sect since her birth.

  Yan Chixia couldn't calm down anymore, thinking about it... his own daughter was as beautiful as a flower, clever and lovely; the outside world not only had many bad people, but also many monsters and ghosts...

  Yan Chixia suddenly stood up fiercely, no... he must find his wife and daughter as soon as possible. Yan Chixia's heart was filled with thoughts of Sima San Niang and Yan Hongye, the two mother-daughter pair; thinking about the dangers outside, Yan Chixia couldn't stay still anymore. He strode swiftly towards the grand hall of Xuanxin Zhengzong, he wanted to go bid farewell to his master, Chi Songzi.

  If he can't find his wife and daughter for just one day, Yan Chixia won't return to the Xuanxin Orthodox Sect for a whole day.

  Yan Chixia made this decision without knowing that in the Forgotten Forest a thousand miles away from the capital, Sima San Niang was directing a group of workers with great enthusiasm to build her new home.

  Since Sima San Niang brought Yan Hongye to the Forest of No Regrets with Lin Ruolan's Instant Transfer Symbol, Sima San Niang had nothing better to do and took Yan Hongye into the Forest of No Regrets for a stroll.

  After walking around in a circle, Sima San Niang was delighted to discover that Lin Ruolan had chosen a good place for herself and Hongye mother and daughter.

  This forgetful forest doesn't look very impressive, but the scenery around here is extremely beautiful; what's more, Sima San Niang also found a large open space deep in the forgetful forest; because it was surrounded by the forgetful forest, if you didn't enter the depths of the forgetful forest, you wouldn't have been able to discover it.

  In the vast open space nearby, there was a spiritual spring that overflowed with spiritual energy; it could make the cultivation of those living here twice as effective. This unexpected discovery filled Sima San Niang with joy.

  Simu San Niang was originally a woman of great authority and prestige. At this time, she had a mother-daughter conversation with Yan Hong Ye; after some communication, Yan Hong Ye agreed to her mother's proposal; to build the new home deep in the Forget Sorrow Forest.

  As for the silver to hire workers, haha... Xuanxin Zhengzong has always been generous with money; when Sima San Niang left Xuanxin Zhengzong, she had made thorough preparations. At this moment, Sima San Niang still has a few tens of thousands of taels of silver on her; the cost of building houses and gardens is naturally not a concern.

  Money can make a ghost grind a mill; this saying is even more practical when applied to people.

  Money makes things easier to handle, and Sima San Niang is not a petty master; because the original project that cost a lot of silver needed one or two months to complete, but it was actually completed in just half a month.

  Uh... of course!

  The silver was spent like flowing water, and with a " splash" the purse shrunk by half; but looking at the majestic and magnificent villa standing in front of her, everywhere showing the beauty of craftsmanship, Sima San Niang still felt that it was worth it, hmm... this silver was really worth spending.

  "Red Leaf, good girl, from now on this will be Red Leaf's new home; are you happy or not?" Sima San Niang asked with a smile, holding Yan Hong Ye's small hand.

  "Hurray!"

  Yan Hongye nodded obediently, and this Yan Hongye had also followed her in and out of the mansion many times; so although it was still a new courtyard, in Yan Hongye's small heart, she already had a sense of belonging.

  "Mother, why is our home called 'Despair Manor'?" Yan Hongye blinked and pointed to the plaque hanging above the main gate; her small face was full of confusion.

  She really didn't understand why her new home was so beautiful; but the name didn't match at all.

  "It's just a name, don't think too much about it, little one; come on, Mother will take our Little Red Leaf to see the new home." Obviously, Sima San Niang chose to evade Yan Hongye's question.

  Yan Hongye didn't continue asking, she guessed that this probably had something to do with her own father again.

  As soon as she thought that such a large villa would only be inhabited by her and her daughter in the future, the security issue was first taken into consideration by Sima San Niang.

  After moving into the new residence, Sima San Niang began to take advantage of the Forgetful Forest's natural barrier; using what she had learned, she laid out a subtle array around the forest, firmly guarding Despair Manor inside.

  To know that Sima San Niang's research on formation methods is the most proud first in the entire Xuan Xin Zheng Zong; even if it is Sima San Niang's master, Chi Song Zi, regarding Sima San Niang's unique insights and talents in formation methods, he also praised her to the point of being speechless.

  "Hmm... Don't think that just because someone is a master, they're invincible. These days, it's common for apprentices to surpass their masters; rather, it should be said that the young will surpass the old."

  With the protection of the formation, Sima San Niang took Yan Hongye to live a carefree life in the Forgotten Forest, spending their days happily like immortals.
