Chapter 117: Divine Intent Vanishes

  When he heard the words "disappeared into thin air", Lin San was stunned on the spot.

  Seeing Lin San's puzzled expression, Zilian Fairy explained: "My strand of divine thought has been forcibly lingering in the mortal world for tens of thousands of years and has reached its limit. In these two days, it will disappear with the wind and forever vanish between heaven and earth." As she said this, a faint sadness appeared on Zilian Fairy's face.

  Lin San opened his mouth wide, but not a word came out.

  "Fated person, can you tell me your name?" Zi Ling Xianzi calmed down and asked with a smile.

  "My name is Lin San." Lin San opened his mouth and said his own name.

  "Lin San..." Zilian Fairy murmured to herself: "What an interesting name." After finishing, Zilian Fairy looked Lin San up and down: "You shouldn't have been cultivating for a long time, right? Your cultivation level seems very low."

  Lin San nodded: "I've just been cultivating for a few months, and I'm currently only at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage."

  "Put out your hand and let me take a look at your qualifications." Zi Ling Xianzi suddenly said.

  Lin San hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand.

  Only to see Zilian fairy lifted her delicate jade hand and slightly shook it, a green light shot onto Lin San's palm, in an instant, Zilian fairy withdrew the green light, closed her eyes slightly, with a thoughtful expression.

  "Fairy, what's my talent like?" Seeing Zilian Fairy remaining silent, Lin San couldn't help but ask aloud.

  Zi Ling Xianzi slowly opened her eyes and hesitated for a moment: "Do you want to hear the truth?"

  "Of course." Lin nodded.

  "Your qualifications are really... quite poor." After holding it in for half a day, Zilian Fairy finally said this sentence.

  "Ah?" Lin San thought he had misheard: "Fairy, what did you say?"

  Zi Ling Xianzi shook her head: "Ordinary cultivators usually have a spiritual root, and the spiritual roots are divided into five types: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The golden spiritual root is the best, but those who possess it can easily cultivate immortal methods. Next is the wooden spiritual root, followed by the others in sequence... But you..."

  "Am I not talented?" Lin San's face didn't look good.

  "No, you have spiritual roots, and not just one kind, but all five spiritual roots are complete in you." said Zi Ling Xianzi slowly.

  "I have five spiritual roots? Isn't this great?" Lin San's eyes lit up.

  Zi Ling Xianzi let out a bitter laugh: "The fewer spiritual roots, the better. The more types of spiritual roots one has, the harder it is to cultivate immortal techniques."

  "Then can't I cultivate immortality?" Lin San asked.

  Zi Ling Xianzi furrowed her brow and didn't say a word.

  Lin San stared straight at Zilian Xianzi: "Xianzi, don't worry about my feelings, just tell me the truth."

  Zi Ling Xianzi raised her head and looked at Lin San: "There's a saying you must have heard: diligence can make up for clumsiness. You possess five kinds of spiritual roots, cultivating immortal methods is extremely difficult, but as long as you persist and diligently cultivate, you will definitely succeed."

  Lin San took a deep breath and said firmly, "I have a shortcoming, that is, once I've made up my mind about something, no matter what, even if it kills me, I will stick to it until the end. Since I chose this path of cultivating immortality, I will persist in it all the way, no matter how difficult the cultivation process may be, I won't give up!"

  A hint of praise flashed in Ziling's eyes: "Not bad, with your perseverance, you are indeed very suitable for cultivating immortality."

  Don't look at Lin San's mouth, which is full of promises, but in fact he is very depressed. Before, Guangyuanzi had never mentioned the matter of spiritual roots to him. Now that he thinks about it, he estimates that Guangyuanzi was afraid of stimulating Lin San's self-esteem and deliberately concealed the matter of spiritual roots. Originally, Lin San thought his talent was not bad, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be a "waste".

  "Can you help me with something?" asked Zilian Fairy softly.

  Lin San returned to his senses and looked at Zi Ling Xianzi: "What's wrong?"

  "If one day you can ascend to the fairy realm, I hope you can go see someone and tell her the news of my nirvana." Zilian Fairy's face showed a hint of melancholy.

  "Who? Who are you going to let me see?" Lin San didn't expect Zilian Fairy to make such a request, and he was very surprised in his heart.

  "Lotus Fairy Maiden, my sister... no!" Zilian Fairy Maiden's face suddenly changed color, her semi-transparent body began to float and flutter.

  "What's wrong?" Lin San was startled and subconsciously walked forward.

  "Don't come over!" Zi Ling Fairy shouted, "The evil energy on my body is too heavy, I'm afraid it will harm you." After descending to the mortal world, Zi Ling Fairy slaughtered countless ferocious beasts, and naturally cultivated a powerful and fierce aura.

  Upon hearing Zi Ling's cry for help, Lin San immediately stopped in his tracks and didn't dare take another step forward.

  "I thought it would disappear tomorrow, but now... Time is running out, there are a few things I want to tell you, listen carefully." Zi Lian fairy's tone was somewhat anxious.

  Lin San nodded: "You speak, I'm listening."

  At this time, the lower body of Zilian Fairy had become somewhat blurred. Zilian Fairy took a deep breath and said: "This green bead contains a thread of my fairy law. As you gradually absorb it, your realm will be elevated." After finishing speaking, Zilian Fairy slightly waved her hand, and a short sword appeared in front of Lin San: "This short sword was forged by me using five rare colored stones after I descended to the mortal world. Although it's not a particularly precious treasure, its power is also considerable. Take it as a gift for self-defense."

  Lin San thanked him and reached out to grab the short sword. A flash of red light appeared, and the short sword actually broke free from Lin San's hand.

  "This short sword has accompanied me for tens of thousands of years, and it has already become spiritual. You need to re-recognize its master with blood." Zilian Fairy floated in mid-air, lightly beckoning the short sword with her hand. A drop of purple blood flew out from the sword and was blown away by the wind, turning into a wisp of air: "I have cleared the mark on the sword, you can now recognize its master with blood."

  Lin San followed Zi Ling Xianzi's words and cut his own finger, letting a bright red blood drop fall onto the blade of the short sword.

  The short sword that had absorbed Lin San's Blood Pearl suddenly became much more stable and no longer moved wildly.

  Lin San stretched out his hand and grasped it, easily grabbing the short sword in his hand. A refreshing feeling beyond compare came from the hilt, causing Lin San to involuntarily shiver with a chill.

  "This short sword I've given a name called 'Chase the Wind', this short sword can change size, automatically protect its master. Next, I'll pass on to you the incantation to control 'Chase the Wind', you must remember it well." Then, Zilan Fairy used a transmission method to teach Lin San several sentences of incantations.

  Lin San muttered twice and firmly remembered it in his mind.

  "You can try using the mnemonic I taught you to test the power of 'Chasing the Wind'." said Zilian Fairy.

  Lin San tossed the 'Wind Chaser' short sword into mid-air, silently reciting a mantra in his mind. He stretched out a hand and pointed at the stone wall opposite him, softly uttering a single word: "Break!"

  "Whoosh!" The Wind Chaser short sword quickly struck the stone wall that Lin San had pointed at.

  "Boom!" A loud noise, and the stone wall was actually dug out of a huge and bottomless pit, with rubble piled up on the ground.

  "What an amazing sword!" Lin San exclaimed.

  "The power of the Wind Chaser sword is far from being exhausted, you can slowly explore it yourself later. One last thing, after you leave here, if you have the chance, go visit the Phoenix Temple and East Sea..." Zilan Fairy's lower body had already disappeared, her upper body was also slowly being swallowed by the air.

  "What is Feng Huang Temple? What is Dong Hai?" Lin San's expression was somewhat puzzled.

  Zi Ling Xianzi furrowed her brow: "There are three locations recorded on my skin, you were able to find this place, don't you know about Feng Huang Temple and Dong Hai?"

  After listening to Zilian Xianzi's words, Lin San suddenly remembered that Professor Zhang Hongru of Huaxia University had said that the fur had recorded three places, one was Qingyun Peak, and the other two locations had not been deciphered. If it weren't for Zilian Xianzi's reminder, he would have forgotten about this.

  Seeing Lin San being silent for a long time, Zilan Xianzi couldn't help but feel curious: "What's wrong with you?"

  Lin San said with a crooked mouth: "Don't deceive the immortal, the words you recorded on the fur, I don't recognize a single one. I spent a lot of effort and finally deciphered the location of Qingyun Peak, but as for the other two locations, I have no idea..."

  "How come you didn't say so earlier!" Zilian Fairy said with a sigh: "Listen carefully, the other two locations are Fenghuang Temple and Donghai. These two places hide extremely great secrets, you must... Ah..." As she spoke halfway through, a hint of pain suddenly flashed across Zilian Fairy's face. With a loud "Boom!", Zilian Fairy's remaining upper body instantly exploded, turning into a burst of sparkling white dots. A gentle breeze blew by, and the white dots vanished without a trace.

  "Zi Ling Xian Zi!!!!" Lin San shouted loudly and directly rushed onto the high platform.

  On the high platform, there was nothing but emptiness, except for a blue orb floating in mid-air and the fragments of stone statues scattered on the ground. The last wisp of consciousness of Zilian Fairy had completely disappeared, and from then on, there was no longer any trace of her existence between heaven and earth.

  Lin San suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart. Although he hadn't spent much time with Zi Ling Xian Zhi, Lin San really had a good impression of her. He softly sighed and quietly said: "Zi Ling Xian Zhi, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to cultivate my skills and strive to ascend to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible, and tell your sister Lotus Xian Zhi about you."

  It took Lin San a long time to calm down and settle the faint sense of loss in his heart, and he reached out to grasp the pale blue orb that was floating in mid-air.

  At this time, the blue bead's color was dull and it slightly trembled, as if it was extremely sad about Zilan Fairy's departure.

  Lin San inserted the 'Wind Chaser' short sword behind him, then sat cross-legged on the high platform, grasping the blue orb with one hand, closing his eyes and slowly absorbing the immortal energy within the orb.

  The stone temple is quiet and clean, which is a good place for cultivation. Lin San plans to absorb the fairy energy in the green bead before leaving the stone temple.

  Ding Sheng Group has been in chaos for the past two days.

  Gu Jialan sent all the security guards in the group to find out about Lin San's whereabouts, and he himself ran to the TV station and newspaper office to post a missing person notice.

  It's been ten days and there is still no news from Lin San.

  Gujalan was very familiar with Lin San's temperament, even if there was an urgent matter, she would call her to inform her. Now, ten days without any news can only prove one thing: Lin San has encountered trouble!

  Lin San is not around, Gu Jialan feels like she has lost her backbone, sleeping poorly, eating poorly, and having no mind to manage the company. In the past week, Gu Jialan has declined more than a dozen invitations and lost several business deals. Every day, sitting in the office, every ten minutes, she calls Lin San, but each time is disappointed to hear "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

  After several days, Gu Jialan had become haggard and worn out.
