Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 305 A Treasure Falling Suddenly on Your Head

Where is Ye Xiaobei now?

Ye Xiaobei is 22 years old and is the last lineal descent of the family of Ye on Zu Mountain. Although his personal abilities are not high, he is pretty talented. It is a pity that the Wens hasn't had a heir born with the Taoist root in two generations, which is even worse than the family of Xuanyuan. The Wens have already become ordinary people. Fortunately, Ye Xiaobei was born with the expectations of the two generations, although the family of Ye has lost its former glory.

Wen Guanjing has a similar social position with Ye Xiaobei, but he reached the middle stage of Training Qi when he was 22 years old. He was already able to lead cultivators in the special department to go on missions around the world back then. However, the 22-year-old Ye Xiaobei is still a nerdy guy who lives in the remote mountain and seldom goes out. Although the Yes don't practice cultivation anymore, they are not poor. Ye Xiaobei has internet his house in the mountain and he browses BBSs all day. He hardly gets in touch with other people. Thanks to the internet, Qu Yi got the chance to know him.

It was Ye Xiaobei's visionary grandma who persuaded a nerdy guy like him to get out of the mountain. She said that if Ye Xiaobei agreed to go to the Tower of Babel, she would officially give Ye Xiaobei the Sword of White Light that their family had passed down through many generations.

Like many nerdy guys, Ye Xiaobei loves cute girls too. After the Tribe for Cultivators exposed Li Xi'er's photos, the former "Sister Li" has become a senior and the dream lover of many young cultivators. Ye Xiaobei is no exception. However, he must have some outstanding merits even if he just wants to get an ordinary cute girl's attention, let alone Li's.

The money of the earthly world? Very few people are in short of it.

Power? Forget about it. How could cultivators focus on cultivation if they were obsessed with power? Not everyone is Minister Chen.

Family background? The family of Ye had a rich heritage and could be regarded as a prestigious family of cultivation two generations ago, but now they have lost their power. Compared with the Wens who also live in the Zu Mountain, the family of Ye is a nobody now. Thus, family background can't help Ye Xiaobei either.

In terms of appearance, Ye Xiaobei can look good if he is well dressed. He can easily make a 15 or 16-year-old girl fall in love with him. However, he is in the world of cultivation instead of the earthly world. There are countless handsome male cultivators like him.

Therefore, Ye Xiaobei unplugged his network cable without a second thought when he heard that his grandmother was going to give him the Sword of White Light. The schools of Zu Mountain have long been torn apart. The two largest schools before were the Yes and Wens. Then Wens inherited the Sword of Cyan Light while the Yes got the Sword of White Light. The swords are both magic weapons over Grade Five. Although no one knows whether the two swords are Grade Two magic weapons like the rumors said, Ye Xiaobei is extremely eager to get it.

Powerful strength builds the confidence of a man! Nerdy Ye Xiaobei heroically comes to the Tower of Babel with a large group of cultivators. However, getting afraid of being paired up with a powerful cultivator and getting a difficult test, he chooses to go alone.

With the blessings of the Tower of Babel, Ye Xiaobei's dream comes true. He gets into a safest place.

He can get water and food whenever he wants. It feels very comfortable there. Of course, if the flirty shadow in colorful clothes were not around, Ye Xiaobei would be even more comfortable when he got tested by the Tower of Babel.

The stories the shadow tells are about the ancestor of the monsters of wood and gossips a few thousand years ago. At first, Ye Xiaobei thinks that he is so lucky to meet the spirit of a senior cultivator in the tower. These stories are all treasures!

"Master, are there spells which can help people lay the foundation in one year and become an immortal in one hundred years?" "No." The shadow feels that his eyebrows are trembling.

"Master, you must have an elixir that can compensate for hundreds of years of hard practice, right?" "……If you don't have a strong Taoist root, cultivation will become harder and harder as if you were sailing against the water." The shadow comforts Ye Xiaobei patiently.

"Alright, say no more. I know you don't have the elixir. Master, at least you know which cave house were you in before you became an immortal, right?" Ye Xiaobei is full of expectations. All the serial novels on the BBS tell stories of coming across the spirits of powerful cultivators and getting mysterious inheritance from them.

Ye Xiaobei soon know that all the stories written by those nerdy writers in the world of cultivation are bullshit. The gossips that the shadow tells are not about spells or inheritance. They are stories about a grandmaster's daughter falling in love with an ordinary guy, a monster black bear humanizing into a beauty, and a monster scorpion's husband finding other monsters peeking at his wife when she was in the shower. One or two stories like these sound amusing, but Ye Xiaobei has been listening to such stories that the shadow tells in a sissy tone for days. Besides, every story proves that the shadow is a narcissistic man. Ye Xiaobei is almost driven crazy.

He doesn't care about seniors or inheritance anymore. He knocks the walls around and wants to get out.

The shadow shakes his head, "I won't lie to you this time. As an ancestor of cultivation, I'm going to tell you the story of my adventure on Mount Penglai."

Ye Xiaobei bumps his head against the wall and refuses to listen.

The shadow feels a little helpless, "Things really get worse nowadays. Young people now are so impatient. Alright, I will give you the most precious thing of mine."

Ye Xiaobei's eyes light up. The shadow takes out a green luminous object and gives it to him. A book made of leaves? Is the shadow kidding him because his surname "Ye" means "leaves"? Ye Xiaobei yells in dissatisfaction and makes the shadow furious:

"You are so ungrateful!"

Ye Xiaobei is kicked to the wall, but he passes through the wall instead of hitting it. After giving him the book made of leaves, the shadow forces a smile and turns into a wisp of smoke.

The shadow is originally a spirit left in the ancient book. During the last thousands of years, he gains his own consciousness. The ancient book is precious and can't be left in the extra-dimensional space in the Tower of Babel. Once the task of returning the ancient book is finished the shadow needs to turn back to smoke. It's a pity that this human cultivator is too impatient to hear his stories on Mount Penglai. He doesn't usually have the mood to tell it.

……

Ye Xiaobei falls heavily on the ground. The book in his hand flies out. After his dizziness goes away, he is surprised that there are so many people around. Most of the nerdy guys are introverts who are not used to being looked at by many people. Ye Xiaobei gets up carefully and silently. He feels quite uncomfortable when he finds Master Lin staring at him with really bright eyes.

Does he become more handsome after listening to the sissy shadow's stories? Ye Xiaobei feels happy, but then he finds out that Master Lin is staring at the book made of leaves under his feet.

Lin Luoran almost bursts into tears after she finds the lost book back. The female monster standing away from the crowd is also surprised and delighted.

"The ancient book of the monsters of wood!" Yang Lisha should have said that it is the ancient book of the monsters of wood she lost. A vine stretches out from Yang Lisha's hand and takes the book back to her.

All other cultivators envy Ye Xiaobei. Why did he get so lucky? The jealousness of others makes Ye Xiaobei more anxious. Qu Yi, the only one Ye Xiaobei knows, pats him on the shoulder, "Xiaobei, you are so lucky!"

Why did Qu Yi say so? The platform begins to shake violently before Ye Xiaobei can get back on his feet from the dizziness. Of course, the Tower of Babel will not collapse. Since everyone has finished their tests, the tower is going to throw them out mercilessly.

Lin Luoran holds the cyan little fox and Goldie tightly because she is afraid of leaving them accidentally in the chaotic time and space in the Tower of Babel.

Mr. Lin jumped down from the boat made of bones long ago. Yuan Ye thinks about it and grabs the mast of the boat. Since no one will be left in the tower, he may be thrown out together with the precious boat.

Master Guo and Master Mu hold the two horses tightly. The horses will be witnesses of their adventure to the alien world.

The tower shakes vigorously and buries everyone into the sand.

There are two date palms left unattended by the river, which is exactly where they entered the Tower of Babel. The magnificent tower has disappeared. The crystal ball has fallen back into the ground.

All the cultivators feel dizzy after they fall on the ground while many local people encircle them. They are holding powerful weapons with ragged clothes. The young cultivators all suddenly look at Lin Luoran—— Master Lin, what should we do now?

The leader of a group of Iraqi militants comes. His lips under his beard are shivering.

They got the message that a group of rich tourists was missing. Since the tourist group went lost in the desert, the first people to find the group can take away all their belongings. The militants have been searching around the area for many days. To their surprise, the group of people from Huaxia suddenly shows up when they are about to give up the idea of going down the river to find the tourists' bodies.

The leader of the militants thinks: we just want to rob some food and clothing, at most some gold jewelry from you. You don't have to show up from nowhere and scare us to death, right? The leader even begins to doubt the meaning of life after being shocked so badly.

He loses control when Lin Luoran looks carelessly at him. He throws the machine gun in his hands into the yellow sand and takes out the golden jewelry hidden in his belt. Other militants in his team all do the same and offer their valuable things to Lin Luoran.

Master Lin is so powerful. Many young cultivators look more up to her.

After Qu Yi explains the reason to Ye Xiaobei, the confused Ye Xiaobei finally understands why the book made of leaves is so important. It is a treasure falling on his head.

Master Mu and Master Guo discuss in a low voice for a while. Master Mu gives the Heart of Druid hanged on the silver chain to Lin Luoran.

"Master……" Precious documents about the Tower of Babel may be hidden in it.

Master Mu waves his hand, "I know it will be secure in your hand. You are a warm-hearted good girl although you look cold. I saw the things you did for the junior cultivators. First, you've been helping Master Guo prolong his life for years. Not giving you the Heart of Druid is against the moral mind. Second, I also get something out of the trip and need to do closed-door training to reach higher levels. I won't have time to investigate things about it."

The gentle Heart of Druid which represents the forest goddess in Greek mythologies belongs to Lin Luoran now. To Lin Luoran, a treasure like this is more like a burden instead of a reward.
