Chapter 443: 443
Chapter 443 The Goblin
Perhaps because they discover the remains of Danling Taoist, Lin Luoran is at a loss . White Fairy is equally confused . She stares into the blank for some time . When she figures out the whole thing, she is both happy and sorrowful . She says to Lin Luoran,
“Let’s bury Danling Taoist . After all, he is my grandmaster’s friend . ”
Lin Luoran nods . It’s impossible to ask the deceased something she wants to know about . She should leave him in peace . Since Danling Taoist loves the peach blossom forest during his lifetime, burying him here would be the best choice .
Because she and cyan little fox break in, and there has been no energy supplement for a long time, the illusion circle on the island won’t last any longer . In this situation, a burial may expose the body to the risk of being swallowed by monsters . No, the senior cultivator shouldn’t be reduced to the food of monsters . Lin Luoran won’t allow that though she doesn’t know him .
If the Taoist is to be cremated… She looks at the lifelike face as if he were still alive . She just can’t bring herself to do it .
The cyan little fox has been silent for quite some time . It opens its mouth, but says nothing .
Since Han Weiya is still in a coma, Lin Luoran won’t make any decision until Han Weiya wakes up . After all, Han Weiya is the one chosen by Danling Taoist as his successor by lucky chance .
Han Weiya hasn’t come to herself, but good news comes from Xiaozhi that “the matter has been resolved” .
White Fairy can guess what’s the matter it refers to . Noticing that Lin Luoran is in a bad mood, she shakes her head secretly . She feels that Lin Luoran is too soft-hearted even with years of experience .
The cyan little fox is noncommittal . Indeed, all of them understand what is meant by “the matter has been resolved” although it is not clearly stated .
The cyan little fox rolls his eyes in contemplation . “The peach blossoms are so splendid . Why not have a drink here?”
Lin Luoran also wants to distract herself, so she takes out a lot of spirit wine and places it in the peach blossom forest . The person and the fox enjoy the wine while feasting their eyes on the flowers . Besides, White Fairy is a beauty second to none, which makes the scene dreamy .
“It’s a pity that we enjoy the wine without a light-hearted song . ”
The cyan little fox says these frivolous words in a young man’s crisp voice . If Lin Luoran didn’t look at the little fox, she would mistake it to be a playboy as depicted in the ancient novels .
However, there is something better than light-hearted songs .
Lin Luoran remembers the pottery figurine she brought from Mount Penglai . She is about to take it out when she sees a jade flute placed beside the figurine .
Zeng Tian got it by chance in the Palace of Jiuhua of the Dragon Palace . Because he knew nothing about music, he offered the flute to Lin Luoran, his grandmaster .
The playful mood has gone . Lin Luoran seems even grimmer than before . White Fairy’s soul has solidified, so she takes the flute and plays a lively tune, only to make the blossoms fade away .
The three sink into melancholy . Lin Luoran gets drunk for the first time . The pink peach blossoms fall down in profusion and cover half her body .
The cyan little fox drinks until its vision goes fuzzy . It has a hiccup when staring at White Fairy .
“You are a poor woman . Fancy that!”
White Fairy puts down the flute, and looks deep into the peach blossom forest where there is nothing .
Is she a poor woman? She used to be a talented female cultivator in the world of personal ability cultivation in Huaxia, the apprentice most valued by her grandmaster and the master of a palace . She led a leisurely life with her lover, which is envied by everyone… But now she is only a faint soul . The nine-tailed fox is right, she thinks . She’s really pitiful .
“What about you, young master of the fox family which follows a female cultivator? What makes your life a misery?”
The cyan little fox narrows its eyes and pretends not to understand what White Fairy says .
It can see at a glance that there’s something in the Taoist’s mouth so that his body hasn’t rotten away for thousands of years . That thing is obviously important to White Fairy, but why hasn’t she said anything?
The cyan little fox is a little impatient . It seems that people who have stayed with Lin Luoran for long always love to do something inexplicable .
Why on earth is that?
The fox stares at the woman who has become a drunk . It refuses to admit that it has become an overkind fox due to her .
Han Weiya has a long dream .

She dreams of exotic mountains with gurgling streams where there is an old man in a green robe . The man looks benevolent . He tells her something in some kind of vernacular mixed with classical Chinese . He talks about making elixirs, inheritance, etc… Han Weiya is confused as she listens .
She wants to wake up, but the man is so old that Han Weiya feels he is very pitiful, so she forces herself to listen to his teachings for a long time . As time passes by, the old man’s voice and the gurgling water become increasingly clear . She finds the lecture interesting, so she’s not in a hurry to leave .
The lecture covers a lot from how to identify spirit herbs to the know-how of solidifying . Han Weiya is perplexed at first . However, as her Soul Exit slowly opens, she calms down to absorb what is taught . When she finally comes to understand the teachings, the old man smiles at her lovingly and says that the master and apprentice are destined to part henceforth . He asks her to take her personal ability cultivation seriously and to carry on his inheritance .
Han Weiya wakes up soaked with sweat . The crystal suspended above her has its energy exhausted . It falls to the ground and turns into powder .
“… What happened?”
Lin Luoran is relieved to see her awake after sleeping for three days . After all, Han Weiya is only a mortal . It’s not worth it if she is reduced to a fool when trying to accept the inheritance .
“You finally wake up . That’s all right . Go and worship your grandmaster first . ”
So, she has a grandmaster after she comes to herself? Han Weiya is bewildered and follows Lin Luoran to the next door . When she sees the lifelike Danling Taoist, what she dreamed of crosses her mind, and the little girl’s eyes get wet without her knowledge .
She knows from others that she has only slept for three days . However, it’s like she stayed with Danling, no, her grandmaster for several years in her dream .
The teachings cannot be fake . Seeing there is a cattail hassock on the ground, Han Weiya knees down on it and respectfully worships the remains of Danling Taoist . The first time she kowtows to her grandmaster, Danling Taoist’s smile becomes more radiant . Lin Luoran is startled and becomes vigilant, fearing that something unpleasant might happen .
After three kowtows are performed, Han Weiya’s white forehead grows red . The smile of Danling Taoist has turned into a grin .
Lin Luoran is on the alert . No one has been possessed, and Danling Taoist is not resurrected . However, a two-inch-long, two-finger-wide cyan stone falls out of his smiling mouth .
The moment the stone falls out, his well-preserved body turns into powder in the presence of everyone . Even the green Taoist robe on his body has vanished in an instant .
Han Weiya is completely stunned . She doesn’t know why her kowtows have reduced her master into powder .
White Fairy looks at the stone on the ground and hesitates to speak . The cyan little fox is almost choked to death by the peach pit in its mouth .

It was aware of this thing early on, but the stone doesn’t fall out until Han Weiya bows to the Taoist . What a coincidence! It seems to be targeted at Lin, doesn’t it?
Lin Luoran comes to herself from her initial shock . “What’s that?”
Some noise comes from the cyan little fox’s throat until it coughs out the peach pit . “… It’s Green Mountains Jade . ”
Lin Luoran is confused . The stone should bear a relationship to the fox, but why does the fox stare at her with a strange look?
“Ahem, ahem . ” The cyan little fox says loudly, “It has another name in the world of cultivation, that is, 10000-year Hollow Azurite . ”
10000-year Hollow Azurite? Isn’t it the first thing she promised White Fairy which she can’t obtain yet?!! Lin Luoran takes a glance at Han Weiya, the Jade Map, the alchemy furnace, and the 10000-year Hollow Azurite . She recalls that Han Weiya has been selected as the successor to the Taoist but she has no Taoist root at all . The thought of all these causes her a headache . She asks White Fairy,
“Fairy, I guess Danling Taoist is good at foreseeing the future, in addition to making elixirs . ”
She is now convinced that Danling Taoist was a Divinized Cultivator before he passed away . It seems that he never failed to predict what would happen . That cannot be achieved by the simple arts of nature .
Everything he offers is something she cares about .
Pressing her in one way or another, he even offers 10000-year Hollow Azurite in the end . He just wants her to help Han Weiya cope with the lack of Taoist root, doesn’t he?
The notes on making elixirs and the alchemy furnace are nothing to Lin Luoran . However, the 10000-year Hollow Azurite is prized, for she promised White Fairy to find the jade more than three hundred years ago .
There is a sense of suffocation when being led by the nose . Lin Luoran wants to stomp .
“Han Weiya, I’m afraid I have to talk to you after we bury your grandmaster and return to the starship . ”
Lin Luoran and others take everything away and get on the starship . After they leave, the Peach Blossom Island sinks into the lake .

They have long forgotten the goblin that caused all these incidents .
What harm can the goblin do since it’s even inferior to monsters?
The morning light illuminates everything in the forest on the other side of the ocean . A heavy rain has washed away traces of a massacre that occurred three days ago .
The corpses of the alliance soldiers have been swallowed by monsters . However, a hand sticks out of a crater that is mostly concealed .
There is dried blood under his nails . The man gets up from the pit and raises his pale face . If Colin Weir were here, he would definitely have beaten him hard—the cold and proud expression of the man is too familiar . Gaut Sutherland is seriously injured . The blood drains from his cheeks .
“Do I come to life… ”
He struggles to his feet and looks at the sky . The starship becomes a silver dot in the sky and disappears in a flash . Obviously, it has completed another space jump . When it reappears, it may be light years away .
Gaut Sutherland smiles rather than gets angry . The arrogance on his face is mixed with an evil look .
