Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality - Chapter 535
Chapter 535 The Gold in the Five Elements
The night is dim. Only with cultivators’ eyes can recognize this thin golden blade three inches deep into the rock. It is actually a golden feather.
Lin Luoran feels familiar with the golden texture from the inside. Her heart seems to be pinched by someone gently and beats slower. She feels excited and frightened both at the same time. A name is on the tip of her tongue, rolling and tossing, but she still can’t say it loudly.
She looks up calmly. A golden hawk is standing on the root of the old tree next to the wood nest with a majestic crown on its head. A pair of golden-gray eyes is staring at her, full of vigilance and indifference.
It’s an adult gold hawk!
Lin Luoran is a little disappointed. They are not the same. Its indifferent eyes also indicate that it is not her Goldie.
Lin Luoran remembers Black Tortoise’s request. She has to bring back the kumquat tree with its roots. It seems that she can’t bring it back if she doesn’t defeat this adult gold hawk.
It is a golden alien species like the kumquat tree. Obviously, the kumquat tree is the spirit tree guarded by the gold hawk. Is Black Tortoise helping her collect the Gold for all five elements?
Lin Luoran takes a deep breath. In the first month of opening of the Secret Land, the strength of all monsters is weakened to the weakest level. According to her previous experience of dealing with double-headed snakes, she knows that the snake definitely doesn’t have the personal ability of the Divinization period.
The limitation of monsters’ strength is under Divinization. Lin Luoran thinks it’s because human race cultivators entering here haven’t reached the level of Divinization cultivators for thousands of years.
When she dealt with the double-headed snake, Black Tortoise could support her. However, sha has to fight against the gold hawk alone.
Will she be succeed?
Her thoughts seem to be very complex. In fact, Lin Luoran dodges the golden feather blade, sees its appearance clearly, and confirms that it is not her Goldie. All these things only happen in a few seconds.
Obviously, the gold hawk is also looking at her and judging her at the same time. It regards Lin Luoran as an invader who covets its spirit treasure immediately!
To be honest, since the New Era, earth cultivators have migrated so the Secret land has had no human race cultivators as visitors in 300 years. In the previous millennium, only weak cultivators entered secret land. The gold hawk kind of underestimates its enemy as a Gathering Vitality cultivator.
However, the female Gathering Vitality cultivator in front of it is not an ordinary one.
Which word should be written to deal with the monster of the Gold?
“Wind, rain, thunder, electricity, ice, frost, snow, fire”, these eight golden word figures are very familiar for Lin Luoran. After thinking of them quickly, she has a clear idea about which word figure she should use to deal with the Gold.
Fire is the nemesis of cold-blooded animals, so she used “fire” first to deal with the snake monster, because snakes love cold places. But the gold hawk is different. Sharp gold only shines brighter after being burned by fire. Using the “fire” character even replenishes the gold hawk’s energy.
Goldie’s feathers are waterproof, so she can’t write “water”. Also, writing “rain” isn’t proper. Because in a hot Gobi environment, it will only accelerate her Meta depletion.
But “Frost” is different. It can surround a gold hawk in a small scale and meet her needs in the next step.
Lin Luoran raises her wrist and uses her fingers together as a pen. Every tremor of her fingertips seems untouchable. It is endless and quiet “wind”.
The wind is blowing in the Gobi!
Small animals who live on this beach flee around, to avoid the sudden wind and sand. Wind sweeps sand and gravel away from the ground. There is never such a strong wind in the Gobi. The gold hawk is always proud of its eyesight. However, when the wind is here mixed with the sand, it suddenly finds that its vision is disturbed.
The air is full of fine particles, and some gravels hit it. Suddenly, the gold hawk discovers that Lin Luoran’s breath has disappeared.
No, to be exact, her whole person has disappeared out of thin air.
Out of vigilance for the human race, the gold hawk spreads its wings intuitively, ready to escape from the strange wind. Looking down from a high altitude is actually more conducive to its performance.
Gravels and sand hit its golden feathers like thunderbolts. The gold hawk is about to fly. Thinking of Lin Luoran’s disapperance, it suddenly feels uneasy. Who knows if this is the trick of “luring the tiger out of his den”? The human race is always cunning.
The moment when it is hesitating, it feels a column of cold water pours its head.
The gold hawk looks up angrily. Lin Luoran is standing on top of it with a smile. It can be seen that she is still making a Taoist hand gesture. This damn human race female cultivator actually wants to use the most basic water spell to deal with it?
Lin Luoran disappeared by hiding in the sacred pearl space so the gold hawk could not find her. Now she has no time to care about how angry the gold hawk is. With a move of her wrist, she wants to write “frost” before it reacts. However, the gold hawk’s eyes suddenly become cold. Its wings flap, and golden feathers like swords shoot towards Lin Luoran as dense as raindrops.
The distance between the person and the hawk is very close, and the speed of the sword feathers is too fast to be caught by the naked eye. There are some beams of golden light. Lin Luoran evades and escapes embarrassingly. She can only escape into the sacred pearl space once. This time she has lost her chances. She tries her best to avoid its attack but she has been cut on her limbs.
The golden feathers are sharp. They cut through the “Protean Dress” she has worn for many years easily, especially the right hand that she uses to write word figures. Her shoulder suffers a serious injury.
Sure enough, beautiful clothes are not good at defence!
Lin Luoran only has a little time to sigh about it. Gold hawk’s attack can not allow people to take a breath and it comes again soon. The crown on its head sways, and it spits out a blazing flame.
Lin Luoran is stunned. She is a person who once raised a gold hawk. She definitely knows how powerful the white fire is, much less an adult gold hawk spits out white fire… she believes that even mysterious Black Tortoise must avoid it here!
But she also knows a lot about the gold hawk. Lin Luoran is in danger, but she also finds her opportunities in the crisis.
She knows that when the light and fluttering flame that can extinguish her physical body and primordial spirit attach to something, the thing will be covered with weird ice in a very short time.
Lin Luoran doesn’t use fire to deal with it. In a rush, she writes quickly. A cold “ice” character is formed by subtly shaking her fingertips.
She needs a solid ice wall, and the rule draws her Meta to give her a generous return.
An ice wall suddenly appears, blocking the white fire. The contempt in that gold hawk’s eyes disappears.
The temperature of white flame is extremely high, so the ice wall melt quickly. If the speed of thickening the ice wall can’t be as fast as melting, the ice wall will soon become a thin and fragile layer.
However, Lin Luoran stops the “ice” with confidence. Her cold strokes suddenly change, and the thunderous movement appears again.
When the white fire spits out by the gold hawk turns into a layer of ice and the two ice walls collide with each other, the thin ice wall on Lin Luoran’s side can not support and splashes. At this moment, Lin Luoran has already called thunder here.
She needs “Thunder”.
The thunder and lightning fall and shatter the ice wall before the gold hawk. Ice fragments splash in all directions. Lin Luoran is wounded, and the gold hawk is not better than her.
The most important thing is that the thunder and lightning are drawn from heaven finally fall. Water droplets on the gold hawk turn into an excellent conductor of electricity. In addition, its physique is gold. Generally speaking, it is a metal rod covered by water. Lightning hits it, bursting out dazzling blue arc sparks.
Gold hawk vomits a mouthful of blood. The blood contains golden powder, which makes the hawk blood looks breathtaking.
Lin Luoran’s body is also stained with a little bit of hawk blood. It stains on the wound of her body, and makes her hurt.
She doesn’t expect that the gold hawk is more difficult to deal with than the double-headed snake. The latter seems to be caught off guard because of the Black Tortoise’s presence at that moment.
The leapfrog challenge exhausts Lin Luoran, but Meta in her body is not totally used up. However, in the attack of the golden sword feathers, her shoulder was terribly injured. Eventually, it hurts her hand muscles. After trying her best to write the word “Thunder”, she has already been weak and unable to launch an attack again.
The gold hawk is also exhausted by the electric shock. They stand on the two sides of the wooden hawk nest.
Coincidentally, Lin Luoran is the closest to the kumquat tree. As long as she struggles to raise her hand and smear the gold hawk blood on the kumquat tree, the space law will work. Then she can automatically absorb the gold hawk as she did to the wood wolf. She transplants the kumquat tree into space, and then the space will be completed with the gold of five elements.
If it had not been this fierce fight… if it weren’t a gold hawk that can’t move… if it had appeared before Black Tortoise when she thought all monsters in secret land were heinous… she would have not hesitated to ingest the soul of the gold hawk at this moment.
However, the wood wolf was the bad guy that attacked her first, and its pain when separating body and soul is still vivid in her mind. She is now the evil guy who comes to challenge the gold hawk!
Such a monster must have developed intelligence early, and it is also a meticulous work of heaven and earth.
Just because of her need, it has to give up its life?
The crown on top of the gold hawk’s head is a little scorched by Thunder Strike. It seems to know that its death is inevitable. After watching Lin Luoran for a long time, it suddenly says coldly.
“Treat it well.”
Treat who? Lin Luoran raises her head suddenly. She has an intuition that it means Goldie.
It is Goldie’s relative?!
This makes her confused. She can not imagine how she will face Goldie in the future. However, the gold hawk let out a sneer, “Although your personal ability is very bad, your temperament is nice. You can forget the thoughts in your mind. The old tortoise has talked to me long ago. Such an ending is considered a good one for a wicked monster like me. ”
The rise and fall of Tao of nature? Accumulation of merits and virtues? The hawk is not touched by these things at all, but as a father. The old tortoise said that if the five elements are gathered, its descendant will benefit, because it is its only blood inheritance in this world.
The gold hawk nationality has been silent for too long. It really needs a strong guarantee to let its nationality and blood be free from the confinement of this Lost Land and fly to a wider world. As a representative, that power should take it to see the immortal world above the human world, the new spiritual world above the immortal world… and if there is another amazing world beyond the spiritual world, which has the longevity of heaven and represents absolute freedom.
Imprisoned in this Lost Land, unable to advance, ten thousand years of loneliness… perhaps death is a real relief. According to Black Tortoise, its death will allow it to surpass life and death in another form to prove Tao. It wants to believe in the old creature just once.
The gold hawk tries its best to stand up straight, combing its feathers carefully. It seems very dissatisfied with the discolored crown.
Golden light flickers when it almost recovers its majestic appearance. A large golden bead as big as a pigeon egg comes out of its mouth.
That’s not monster bolus. If it gives Goldie a bloody thing like this, it will refuse to take it.
This is just the condensed energy from its body.
As soon as Lin Luoran sees its action, she knows that the winner of this fierce battle is actually the gold hawk. With her current strength, she can’t win even with golden word figures. At this time, she understands it when something is revealed. Goldie has amazing speed. Even if the gold hawk couldn’t beat the “golden” word figure, it could still dodge it when she was writing.
But the gold hawk did not hide. Its life and death seem to have been determined in some kind of agreement with Black Tortoise. This fierce battle with her is just a trial, but it has known that it is doomed to die. It still fought with her.
Just as when Black Tortoise was involved in the battle for her and asked her to deal with the double-headed snake. Black Tortoise just keeps giving her chances to learn from the great power in fights!
The gold hawk puts the Golden Energy Bolus near Lin Luoran and then closes its eyes without any emotions.
After a long time, a miniature phantom gold hawk appears above its head. It flaps its wings and disappears in the kumquat tree. As for its physical body, it is standing in place and dies.
Lin Luoran picks up Golden Energy Bolus and puts it away solemnly. Her palms stained with hawk blood touch the kumquat tree. The tree disappears in place with its roots and then appears by the pool of space.
She has gathered four elements of the five. The space is about to have a big change, and her personal ability will also improve. But why doesn’t she feel joy at this moment?
The power of the Gold is deeply rooted in space, drills into the soil, hides under the rock and water, and turns into a rich metal deposit.
The invincible gold actually weakens Lin Luoran. She is covered in blood, and water comes out of the corners of her eyes.
Of course, it is the sorrow brought by the suicide of the gold hawk. It also means Lin Luoran is doubting herself.
When her life fell to the bottom, she suddenly embarked on a road of personal ability enhancement. Every time she was in crisis, she was helped by some noble people. She was manipulated by invisible fate to move along a predetermined track. Her family members are missing, but she has to collect the five elements for their reunion.
Is everything she experienced just a script arranged by others?
Is such a puppet life what she asks for in the first place? The freedom of the world? The joy of the mortal world?
Lin Luoran feels that golden energy surrounds her. There are huge mineral deposits in the depths of the Gobi. It is hot, lacks water, and has no vegetation, but it is the place with the strongest Reiki of the Gold in the Lost Land.
This is the place where the spiritual creature identified as “oval kumquat” by the space computer was bred, and it was selected as the habitat by the gold hawk.
The chaotic white Meta in her body has differentiated gold.
Her personal ability is soaring. Between the eyebrows of her Gathering Vitality in her pubic region, a petal of the five-petal plum is filled with dazzling gold.
Space changes and shakes. Gold Reiki wraps Lin Luoran. She can feel that Meta is soaring in her body. In just a few years, she has developed from the beginning of the Gathering Vitality to the middle of the Gathering Vitality period… for other cultivators, maybe they want to give up everything for such kind of huge lucky chance.
Lin Luoran is not very happy—what else can she give?
When Lin Luoran opens her eyes again, it is an early morning. The gold hawk is totally dead. She doesn’t have the courage to look at its body standing still. The fragile Lin Luoran last night is well hidden by her.
She thinks Black Tortoise must have a lot to explain.
