The old man didn't seem to care, and instead explained to Lin Luo: "Your master may have also told you that the properties of one's Dao foundation determine what magical artifacts they can use and what techniques they can employ. However, the five elements of heaven and earth are interconnected, with some generating and others overcoming each other. As long as one can successfully establish their foundation, they can utilize the principle of the five elements' generation to create some interesting changes. For example, I'm originally a dual-system Gold-Earth cultivator, but I can use the collision between Gold and Earth to ignite a thread of Fire-elemental spiritual energy, allowing me to employ this technique. Don't look down on this extra bit - sometimes it can be lifesaving."

  Does one's moral foundation determine the techniques they can employ?

  Lin Luoran heard it in her ears, but remembered it in her heart. The spiritual energy inside her body was originally chaotic and attributeless. It wasn't until she went to comprehend the Fireball Technique that a thread of fire-attributed spiritual energy separated out, leaving behind a large portion of unseparated, chaotic spiritual energy. Was it waiting for her to push open the gate of the Five Elements' attributes?

  What attribute is it itself?

  Lin Luoran had a doubt in her heart, and she thought of the 36 hand gestures that were deeply ingrained in her mind. Unconsciously, she began to form seals with her right hand. Since she had practiced for so long, her speed was already not bad, but after a moment, the seals overlapped each other, and it seemed like she was about to finish the spell - if it ended like this, she would naturally be unable to escape the same fate of failure as before!

  The thirty-six hand seals were almost completed, Lin Luo Ran was bewildered and at a loss, while Old Guo's eyes had a hint of ferocity again. With a flash of his eyes, he shouted: "Infuse your own spiritual energy into the hand seals to trigger a response from the fire-elemental spiritual energy!"

  Lin Luoran thought this time would be no exception, a failed fate. Upon hearing Guo Lao's scolding voice, an idea flashed through her mind and her body reacted instinctively. The fire-elemental spiritual energy dormant within her seemed to have been summoned, rushing to her right hand and infusing the five fingers.

  As the thirty-fifth hand seal was completed, the surrounding stars twinkled and lit up. Lin Luo Ran could clearly sense that the fire-elemental spiritual energy particles with small tails were gathered together. When the thirty-sixth hand seal was finished, Lin Luo Ran looked at his right fingertips again, and indeed, a ball of flame floated there, slightly jumping... Fireball Technique, successful?

  Lin Luoran was overjoyed, but she didn't get carried away. She scattered her hand prints and the jumping fireballs dissipated instantly. Lin Luoran closed her eyes, savoring the feeling of just now's fusion with the Fire Elemental Spirit.

  The two elders were astonished by her wit, and seeing that she was performing the technique without even realizing it, they knew that she was indeed a new learner - but could a new learner really comprehend in an instant with just one hint from Guo? Those fluent hand seals, clearly belonged to fingers that were naturally suited for techniques.

  Lin Luo Ran's rise from an ordinary person to her current state, although she had the help of a high-ranking cultivator, but didn't her innate talent also play a part?

  Is she a rare solo fire-type Taoist master who appears once in a century?

  Two elders saw her easily casting fireball techniques and being able to be collected by the predecessor of the Dan Gate, they all mistakenly thought that Lin Luoran was a rare single-line genius.

  Of course, Lin Luo Ran was immersed in the feeling of success from his first surgery and had no idea about this wonderful misunderstanding.

  When she opened her eyes again, the two old men had somehow brought over three cups of clear tea emitting wisps of heat and sat down on the stool that had just been conjured up by their magic, nodding to her.

  Lin Luoran sat down and took a sip of tea. The refreshing aroma of the tea made her feel invigorated, and indeed, it was a very suitable beverage for cultivators.

  She had the Five Elements Spellbook in her arms, and she also knew the key points of casting spells. At this time, she didn't rush to study it. Accompanying the seniors who were building their foundation to drink tea was an opportunity that not everyone could ask for. So, what's wrong with taking a leisurely break?

  But Lin Luoran was born with a whirlpool fate, and just as he heard Mu Lao talk about some of their cultivation experiences, his phone rang inappropriately.

  A string of unfamiliar numbers, Lin Luorantook it and listened to the other person say a few words. The smile first appeared on her eyebrows, but in an instant, it spread across her entire face.

  After she hung up the phone, Mu Lao asked her what made her so happy. Lin Luo Ran's eyes had a hint of tears: "It's laughable to say this to you two elders, but my good friend has just awakened."

  Lin Luoran's good friend, Qin Baojia, undoubtedly rose to fame overnight after this incident... At least the two elders exchanged a glance and instantly understood who her good friend was.

  "It's settled then, Lin Yaotou can go back first!"

  Although opportunities are rare, Lin Luoran values his relatives and friends the most. He apologized to the two elders and then went down the mountain first.

  Mo Tian Nan suddenly appeared from nowhere in the dense forest, and Mo Lao stared at him with a smile: "Why didn't you go see her off?"

  "Alright, it's already been arranged... Old Master, I also want to cultivate, so just agree!"

  Guo Lao's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a certain something flashed in Old Man Mu's eyes: "You little scamp, the old man had long since established the family rules... Cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult, the Mu family can't hang dead on one tree. Since you already gave up the opportunity to your sixth brother back then, why are you now talking about cultivation again?"

  "Mei Tian Nan licked his face: 'I've changed my mind again. What's the worst that could happen? I won't take the family's allowance, just teach me the cultivation method, okay?'"

  Mu Lao shook his head.

  He jumped up and kicked his feet a few times, then disappeared into the woods.

  Guo Lao coughed twice again before saying: "Why didn't you tell him the truth earlier? Why did you have to teach him to resent you?"

  Mu Lao sighed: "This grandson of mine, looking so carefree and idle, you've watched him grow up, but don't know that deep down he's extremely proud and arrogant. If I tell him the truth, who knows what he'll do with his stubbornness? I'd rather have him resent me for a lifetime... as long as he lives a peaceful life."

  Will you be safe for the rest of your life? Guo sighed and wasn't sure if this was what Mu Tian Nan wanted.

  "But then again, what should be given to Lin Yaotou?"

  Mr. Guo's question has stumped Mr. Muo. Yes, what gift can be given to gradually tighten the relationship between the two parties?

  **************

  Lin Luoran jumped off the car that Mu's family had sent to take her back and ran towards Qin's villa. Huang Ayi opened the door for her, with an unmistakable joy on her face.

  "They're all upstairs, Miss Lin can go up."

  Lin Luoran nodded to Aunt Huang, went up the stairs in a few steps, and found that Baojia's door was slightly ajar. Qin Shuai, Liu Zhen, and Lu San Chun were all there. Lin Luoran took a glance around before fixing his gaze on the white figure standing by the window.

  A white long nightgown, standing in front of the window, with a gentle breeze blowing, it feels quite ethereal and otherworldly.

  "What is heard is often false, what is seen is true; Lin Luo Ran looked at this familiar back and finally confirmed that Bao Jia was really okay."

  She was tearfully dazed, but Qin Baojia turned his head around and stared at her for a while before pouncing over:

  "Hey! Were you sneaking into my room last night and eating my cherry tomatoes?"
