That night, Mu Tian Nan still stayed in the guest room of the Lin family, while Lin Luo Ran alone occupied the embroidered building in the backyard, which was far away from him. This point made Lin Luo Ran feel a little more comfortable.

  Lin Luoran usually spent most of her nights cultivating in the space, but now that there was an outsider at home, she spread a mat on the floor in her room and tried to meditate indoors.

  This time in Ruili, Lin Luoran slightly humiliated the arrogant Ai Li, but that was secondary. The few rough stones she picked up weren't the most important thing either. What made Lin Luoran overjoyed was that among the rough stones auctioned by Old Myanmar, the turbulent spiritual energy within them was all swept away by her, and her harvest was even greater than a month of classes at the Liu family!

  Lin Luoran just sensed the spiritual energy flowing like silk threads inside the pearl, and in the medicinal field, the spiritual energies of various plants were intertwined. Lin Luoran was tempted to dive into the space, but thinking of Mu Tian Nan sleeping in the front yard made him feel it was too risky.

  Lin Luo Ran suppressed his desire to enter the space for cultivation and decided to meditate instead.

  With the silent thought of Master Jia's transmission of Tu Na Gong Fa, Lin Luo Ran once again entered a state of introspection. The spiritual energy absorbed from the pearl not only filled Lin Luo Ran's meridians but also occasionally seeped out to nourish her bones and cleanse her muscle tissues.

  Lin Luoran calmed her mind and concentrated, the spiritual energy slowly moved under her strenuous effort, slightly awkwardly wandering through her meridians. Feeling the great gain this time, Lin Luoran gazed at the abundant spiritual energy inside her body again, determined to make a hard effort tonight to see if she could break through the bottleneck that had been stuck for a long time.

  Currently, Lin Luo's situation is not that her spiritual energy is insufficient; she has the pearl on her body, constantly channeling spiritual energy into her. Compared to her current realm, the spiritual energy inside her is only more abundant, but she can't control it and can only watch as the treasures in her meridians stare back at her blankly.

  Lin Luoran concentrated her mind and looked, the spiritual energy seemed like a group of mischievous threads, running around in the meridians, entangling with each other. If she tried to force them to move, they would only get more knotted.

  What if you tidy up the messy threads and run it again?

  Lin Luoran suddenly had an epiphany, feeling that she was on the right track this time. She patiently began to untangle her spiritual energy, thread by thread. Originally a mess of intertwined threads, Lin Luoran found two thin strands of spiritual energy and twisted them together into a slightly thicker strand. Then, she went in search of a third strand, followed by a fourth. Repeating the process tirelessly, she used the now-larger strand to merge with smaller ones. After an unknown amount of time, she finally managed to twist all the chaotic spiritual energy into one single strand!

  Looking at the spiritual cord that was forcibly twisted into a strand, still somewhat restless and ready to rebel at any moment, Lin Luoran really wanted to laugh out loud without caring about her image.

  She disregarded the spirits' resistance, constantly merging them together, like Little Luo kneading clay figurines, gradually breaking through the gaps between the spirits and pinching them into one.

  After such hard work, Lin Luorans finally gained absolute control over the spiritual energy. She didn't have time to be happy and carefully guided the spiritual energy along the meridians - she had been cleansed by the Chi Yan fruit, so common people's meridian blockages were not a threat to her. Lin Luoran's difficulties in cultivation did not lie there, but rather in having no famous master to guide her, no techniques to practice, and no fellow disciples to refer to. Everything had to be figured out on her own, without knowing what was correct.

  The path of cultivation is difficult, but Lin Luoeran is willing to spend a hundred times the time trying, and does not want to return to being an ordinary person with only a small piece of land in that world.

  Will your own path go further and further, and will the world also become wider and wider?

  "Hum..." It was as if a firework had burst before his eyes, just like the last time he suddenly gained "inner sight". Under Lin Luo Ran's command, the spiritual energy finally circulated through the meridians for a complete cycle!

  Lin Luoran spat out a mouthful of turbid air, feeling extremely refreshed all over her body. She felt as if every single pore on her skin was wide open, greedily absorbing the gentle spiritual energy transmitted from the pearl at her wrist.

  Lin Luoran calmed down and continued to condense the spiritual energy into a ball, following the same path as before, continuing his spiritual journey of Zhou Tian.

  In winter, the temperature is low and the air is dry, but Lin Luo's embroidered building has a warm and moist feeling due to her cultivation.

  In such a quiet night, except for Lin Luoran, everyone in the Lin's residence had fallen asleep. Yet, at this moment, the copper bell on the eaves of the embroidery building rang automatically without any wind.

  It was very slight, like a dry wind, but Lin Luo suddenly opened his eyes.

  ……

  A figure in black quietly slipped out of the window and fell two stories down, landing silently on the muddy ground in the backyard.

  Like a cat, with several leaps, the black-clad man arrived at the foot of the embroidered building where Lin Luoran was.

  Looking at the exquisite embroidery building, the man in black had a faint smile on his lips. This woman still lives in the embroidery building, does she really think she's a young lady? The man in black was somewhat sarcastic, unwilling to admit that the woman who lived in this building, originally just an ordinary rural girl, was more elegant than all the noble ladies he had seen.

  The man in black glanced around, and the exquisite wooden railing of the embroidered building provided him with convenience. He exerted his inner strength, and with a slight movement, he jumped into the air, his hands grasping onto the railing.

  The man in black did not rush forward, but instead looked into the house through the half-closed window. Tonight's moonlight was good, and the man in black had originally thought he could see a beautiful woman sleeping peacefully. But to his surprise, there were mosquito nets floating above the embroidered bed, and the owner who should have been sleeping on it was nowhere to be seen!

  At this time, Lin Luoran was in a meditative state, actually inside the house. The moonlight outside was dim, and clearly there was a big living person sitting cross-legged inside, but the black-clad man couldn't see him at all. In fact, it was because Lin Luoran had circulated his qi, relaxed his whole body and mind, and almost merged with the surrounding environment, creating an illusion of no one being in the house.

  The man in black was bold and daring, seeing that there was no one inside the house, he actually had the idea of entering the house to investigate, with a flip of his body, he jumped over the railing.

  The embroidered building had been standing for many years after all, and the wood was somewhat loose. Under the shock, it actually set off a ring of the copper bell at the corner of the house.

  The man in black whispered that it wasn't good, and hung under the window to lurk for a while. Not seeing anything unusual, he prepared to turn over and enter. But just as the copper bell rang, Lin Luoran, who had been meditating, suddenly opened her eyes. Her dark pupils sparkled with a light comparable to stars in the hazy moonlight!

  Having left the predetermined environment, Lin Luo Ran did not intentionally conceal his aura, and the black-clothed man immediately discovered an additional aura of a master in the room. In great surprise, he swung his palm towards Lin Luo Ran.

  Lin Luoran's first instinct was to dodge, and with her current speed, dodging would be an easy task. However, she suddenly felt a surge of anger and indignation in her heart - after all the cultivation, couldn't she always retreat? Moreover, this rascal was too bold, actually daring to sneak into her residence like that. If it were an ordinary woman, wouldn't that make her completely defenseless against a lustful thief?

  Lin Luoran thought of the spiritual energy that had just circulated around her body, and with a surge of courage, she also swung her palm to meet the incoming palm force - Master Jia's Tai Chi, after practicing several times, it was quite flavorful!

  What a master! As he watched the lightly floating hand rise, a sense of alertness flashed through the black-clad man's mind, but he couldn't dodge this seemingly slow yet unavoidable palm strike.

  Bang!

  The two palms collided, and the black-clothed man let out a muffled grunt as he stumbled backward several steps, his feet tangling together so that he couldn't stand steadily.

  "It's you!" Lin Luo Ran frowned, yet he had recognized the voice of the person who came, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
