Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality-Chapter 467: New Life
A woman puts her hands on the door jamb. The temperature in the valley is low so she wears an extra robe outside her simple clothes.
She was so immersed in the star gems she got that she even ignored the message from the Nami royal family. But the visitor even broke into her circle. Many Nami people have helped her to “check” the power of the illusion circle. She was just to ignore it when she felt the crumbling of the circle.
Reiki in the valley swarms into the circle so she has to check it out.
The person in the illusion circle of the valley makes her feel a little confused and familiar. At this moment, the phoenix hairpin which she always wears responds first.
The two phoenixes crack together. The woman looks at the two hairpins dancing in the air merging into one. It changes into a blue sword and she finally feels shocked.
The visitor of the valley fights against the illusion spell and tries her best to open her eyes. She sheds tears before saying anything. Her eyes are like shining stars and they are so bright that people dare not look at them directly.
“Baojia…”
The woman hears her whispering. It is not the interstellar common tongue, nor the Nami Star language. It is the mother tongue of the center of Chuan province in the southwest Huaxia on the earth, the other side of the starry sky.
The woman is stunned. There seems to be something coming out of her chest. Some blurry pictures pass through her mind. There are classmates in the classroom who she can’t see them clearly, some simple rooms, and some colorful but complex scenes.
She feels her cheek is cold so she raises her hand and touches it… did she cry?
How can she cry because of the woman in front of her?
Nolan Mancia subconsciously retracts the illusion circle. Nolan Mancia steps forward and stares at the woman in the circle for a long time before she asks her in a low voice, “What did you just call me?”
Nolan Mancia doesn’t realize that she also uses the mother tongue which she hasn’t practiced for a long time.
She even deliberately makes her voice sound gentle but the visitor of the valley still feels hurt.
“Baojia…”
The word “Baojia” gives her a headache. Nolan Mancia barely supports her body with her elbow, “Who the hell are you!”
Facing Nolan Mancia’s question, the visitor is stunned. Her vital energy and blood surges and she spits out a mouth of blood. The woman just falls to the ground directly.
White Fairy sees how they meet each other as a farce. During her personal ability enhancement for hundreds of years, she has witnessed many unsatisfactory things and the separation of good friends is nothing serious—but she really never encounters the situation that two friends meet each other after three hundred years. One travels across the interstellar looking for her friend but her friend has long forgotten her.
White Fairy sighs looking at Lin Luoran who falls to the ground.
First of all, Lin almost gathers vitality. After being forcibly pulled back, she has stimulated again and her breath is now in disorder. It may be very troublesome for Linny to pass this test.
White Fairy tells Nolan Mancia all information she knows and ignores how Mancia who is very shocked is going to handle Lin Luoran. White Fairy turns into green smoke and goes back to the sacred pearl.
The Sword of Bright Snow is still suspending in mid-air. This familiar and strange feeling will not deceive her.
Nolan Mancia carefully looks at Lin Luoran who is fainted. She has a bloodstain on her chest but the outline of her eyebrows and eyes really looks like someone in her memory appearing from time to time.
Is this her best friend?
Nolan Mancia can’t help but get caught in memories.
The upheaval of the earth had consumed the last Reiki. The Dongting Lake waters got the blessing from the power of faith but other parts of the earth were all polluted by turbid air now. Gray mists made people suffer. After the ozone layer disappeared, a lot of gray fog flooded into the earth and animals changed a lot. The plants also could not survive.
The Mount Qingcheng which was once very beautiful became a scorched land with a thousand miles of red soil land. The crazy Taoist had extracted the Water Reiki from the waters of the Dujiangyan City to nourish the soul wood. After the great change, the Water of the earth was totally polluted. Yin-Yang-Mote Circle closed up and the water Reiki nourishment had stopped.
There was only an original small wooden reiki mine left under Qingcheng Taoist Temple. It provided nutrients for the soul wood and her inside the soul wood.
Nolan Mancia still remembers the year she woke up, 243 of the New Era. She escaped from a withered tree. She knew nothing and almost died under the claws of a mutant monster.
At the critical moment, her body acted spontaneously. The hairpin on her head changed into a sword and she killed mutant monsters coming for her one by one.
Covered with animal blood, she stood on the black land at a loss.
Her body could create a miracle in danger with an invincible sharp sword and blank ocean of consciousness.
She vaguely remembered that this was a means of personal ability and she had been a female cultivator.
However, her history was more than that. Why did she wake up in a withered tree and who put her in it?
Who was… she?
What she remembered are a nameless mantra and a few simple spells. She didn’t even know the spell of the sword. Well, there was a group of knowledge about “magic circle” which seemed to be stuck in her mind forcibly.
Nolan Mancia still remembers how panic she was at that time. She was alone, carrying a long sword and walking in the Rong City, which was nothing but a scorched relic.
A group of mercenaries found her and took her back to Dongting City.
She thought they were kind. It turned out that they stealthily planned to sell her because she didn’t have any personal information and no one would notice it. It’s ridiculous that that group of people did not know she was clever and smart. She could even “see” what had happened next door without eyes.
She felt a little disappointed at that time but she didn’t seem to be too angry.
Earth Reiki was decreasing. She could feel that the power in her body was not increasing but also decreasing. The environment here was not suitable for her personal ability enhancement. She thought about it. Anyway, she didn’t have the personal information which they were talking about so it was difficult for her to walk out of the earth by herself. Therefore, she pretended to be ignorant and was sold to human traffickers by those people.
She had thought of leaving on her own when they were out of the earth. Originally, the traffickers wanted to sell her to desolate stars for reclamation. They saw that she was beautiful so they changed their mind and sold her to the noble family of the Alpha Alliance.
Baojia was impatient to deal with them again. When she wanted to leave on her own, an old man with a white beard in the bilge grabbed her arm and cried with tears.
She seemed to remember that she also had a loved one at this age.
Her heart softened. If an old man of that age was sold to a desolate star, he would die in less than a year. At night, she fled with the old man. Because she had underestimated the technological civilization of the Alpha Alliance, she was hunted as a slave.
Baojia drifted about the interstellar with the old man and then traveled to the Nami Alliance. However, they got separated in exile… She finally met a marquise of the Nami Star. The marquise had no heir so she adopted Baojia as her daughter. Baojia finally had an identity fair and square.
Since then, her name has been Nolan Mancia. Inherited most of the inheritance after her adoptive mother died, she didn’t want to entangle with her foster mother’s family. She spent a lot of money and built this paradise in this remote valley.
For the way of self-cultivation, she just went with the flow. As for jewelry design, it has engraved in her bones. She still couldn’t help taking this path. At first, her business was a small scale but she became famous after a few years.
Nolan Mancia sighs. Technology in Nami Star is developed and the average life span of Nami people is almost two hundred and forty years. She has been here for more than 80 years but her appearance has not changed at all. Instead, as her personal ability improves, she is getting younger and younger. For people who have lived for more than 100 years on Nami Star, no matter how proper they maintain themselves, they will not look like in their early twenties.
Realizing that she is not getting old, Nolan Mancia lives a more secluded life. She could live a well-off life just by selling jewelry to the Nami royal family. When it was quiet at night and she focused on her self-cultivation, sometimes she also couldn’t concentrate on it. As her personal ability gradually increased, she seemed to get her memory which had almost been blank originally back.
She sometimes could even remember skating in Beidaihe of Huaxia as a child.
However, there was nothing she remembers that could help her remember her identity.
…
Nolan Mancia wakes up from her memories.
There is a soft couch in her design room. When she is tired of work, she often takes a short sleep on it. At this moment, a girl in a green dress is sleeping on the soft couch. This kind of dress and style is very similar to the white dress which she wore when she woke up. The material is also extraordinary. At first glance, she can know that it’s cultivator’s stuff.
Flying swords which can become one also belongs to cultivators.
To be honest, she has secretly investigated messages about cultivators after she settled in the Nami Star. However, there is no gain. The Nami Alliance totally relies on technological civilization and people have never heard of “cultivators”. Cultivators existed on the earth but it was an old story three hundred years ago. Nolan Mancia once gave up on looking for a fellow with personal ability.
Until this female cultivator broke into the circle and called her “Baojia”.
Is Baojia her real name?
It seems that the female cultivator’s vital energy and blood surges and her Wakan becomes a mess because of her amnesia. She vomited blood and fell into a coma.
The two flying swords they both had also proved that they are either close friends or sisters.
Then why did her best friend leave her waking up and wandering among stars alone?
The female cultivator has a serious fever. Nolan Mancia performs several “Healing Spells” but they don’t work. She wants to use Wakan to clear her meridians but the unconscious person’s personal ability is higher than hers. Now she can do nothing.
Nolan Mancia frowns. The unconscious female cultivator makes her feel inexplicably familiar but she can not remember their history.
She doesn’t want the female cultivator to die. She can only input gentle water Wakan into the female cultivator’s body, trying to appease the restless Wakan flowing in her meridians.
“Baojia… Baojia… I am sorry… ”
Lin Luoran whispers in her dreams. How can Baojia forget her? She must be tricking her because she felt gloomy about that she had not come to find her. Subconsciously, she comforts herself in this way. Lin Luoran can finally sleep soundly.
The chaotic meridians gradually calm down. Lin Luoran’s cheeks flush. However, because she has found her close friend, her face is peaceful and she sleeps soundly.
