Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality - Chapter 541 - Two People Who Regain Their Memory

The middle-aged man surnamed Rong is in his forties and his name is Rong Xihe.

“Li In Advanced Human Body Extreme Limit Research Institute” has a complex and weird name. “Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory” had been committed to the research on ancient Huaxia prescriptions and simplified formulas of bolus for the world of cultivation to serve ordinary people. When the Alpha Alliance conquered the earth, it was interested in the secrets of cultivators. It was natural that the Alpha Alliance made up its mind to get Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory which had successful technical experience.

After Tess managed Lins’ business, she made this pharmaceutical group of the center of Chuan province the world’s strongest pharmaceutical industry. In the meantime, the Alpha Alliance wanted to get it. Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory was particularly eye-catching.

The descendants of the Rong family who stayed on the earth followed Tess’s arrangement. They grasped the opportunity at the time when the Alpha Alliance was attacked seriously by “the Shelter of Gods”. When the Alpha Alliance was unable to do anything else, Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory which had once been prosperous all over the world turned into an empty shell.

All prescriptions, research files, medicine-refining equipment, production lines, and other key things had been destroyed. Lins’ irreplaceable core was actually in the minds of descendants of the Rong family. It was very safe, following the plan arranged by Tess when she was alive step by step.

After a few years, the Alpha Alliance began to sell “gene evolution fluid” to Earth Federation. At that time, the descendants of the Rongs had the wealth and technology accumulated by Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory. They had already made a small laboratory on a remote member star of the alliance. The small laboratory studied the causes of restless mutant monsters after the earth’s environment changed dramatically, trying to fundamentally solve the internal trouble of the earth.

The Rongs discovered that there were major defects in gene evolution fluid. Huaxia had developed martial arts and internal power by inner and external training to exploit the human body’s potential for many years. People could gain power for a while from gene evolution fluid. However, earthlings injected gene evolution fluid would lose the opportunity to learn how to develop their potential correctly.

The Alpha Alliance was longing for “cultivation civilization” with dread, but it might disappear on the earth after the fighting.

Cultivation was more demanding on the human body. It would be impossible if “gene evolution fluid” could stop people from practicing ancient martial arts. The invasion of the Alpha Alliance and this plan were both very insidious. It seemed that someone made a sophisticated plan specifically targeting at the earth’s cultivation civilization—if the so-called “secret of longevity” couldn’t be mastered, then it should be destroyed.

Lin Luoran feels that this is very similar to what the fake saintess did. “Usage” is the priority. She would not allow others to use weapons that can threaten technology civilization if she couldn’t use them.

The fake saintess used the star atlas to transmit the message in the Kalahari Desert. Lin Luoran assumes that she planned to send it back to her home planet. However, she stayed on the earth for so long that she forgot interstellar crocodiles like the Alpha Alliance was able to intercept a bunch of unknown signal waves easily in the universe. Decades later, the soldiers coming to the earth were not from her home planet, but the Alpha Alliance closest to the earth.

The descendants of Rongs deciphered the secret of the “gene evolution fluid” and felt that they should take actions. They changed the laboratory into Li In Advanced Human Body Extreme Limit Research Institute. Once again, things became public.

The Rongs used Lins’ well-known prescriptions to make improvements to the “gene evolution fluid”. They then submitted the improved “gene evolution fluid” with a higher success rate to Alpha alliance for testing. After that, the institute was recognized.

The people who showed up to do the job were all local descendants of the member stars which the Rong family moved to. A small research institute that was recognized for a breakthrough in one research didn’t deserve the Alpha Alliance’s attention.

The research institute was committed to adding mild medicinal effects to the gene evolution fluid. It slowed down the speed of strengthening genes and made it safer. At the same time, it would not deplete the human body’s potential. The genes of earth people would not be limited by the drugs so degeneration would not happen.

Almost all of the best gene evolution fluid produced by the institute was sold to the Earth Federation. Under the guise of charity, it supported low-level member stars. Other member stars and interstellar organizations also did such kind of things to attain reputation. However, they mainly did it to dump inferior products. On the contrary, Li In was selling the best products at a very low price.

Each tube of “gene evolution fluid” sold by Li In had a serial number. The purpose was to sell things in certain places with quotas and prevent the Alpha Alliance from discovering the secret.

Because of its low price, it occupied the Earth Federation’s market quickly, which drew the attention of the Alpha Alliance.

The research institute had to cut off the marketing channel temporarily. It was unable to sell gene evolution fluid to the earth in a short time, and began to keep a low profile to avoid the limelight.

Until they got in touch with Mu Tiannan.

Mu Tiannan had just had the idea of building a “Blood Line Club” at that moment. The Rongs also heard about this person from the Mu family who stayed on the earth and refused to leave. However, the situation was very chaotic when the alliance conquered the earth so the two sides did not have the opportunity to contact. They had embarked on their own journey of adventure since then. Eventually, Mu Tiannan came to the Rongs.

At that time, Mu Tiannan had just taken control of an alliance politician. Through the politician, the Alpha Alliance’s suspicion was replaced with trust so the institute survived. Mu Tiannan then got strong support. In addition to mind control, what Mu Tiannan could give to “members” was extending lifespan. The club’s development was extremely smooth.

The old bat wanted Mu Tiannan to collect the four jade plates that had been lost in the war for it. Thus, it hoped Mu Tiannan’s influence could be greater. It indifferently watched him become involved with the “people of Lins” that it hated.

Roddick from Blood Line totally disagreed, but Mu Tiannan and the old bat happened to ignore it completely.

After steady development, Li In had not only entered the upper class of the Alpha Alliance. It even penetrated other alliances. Various precious prescriptions that had been hidden in the dust were finally taken out by the descendants of the Rong family after some changes.

Li In and the club complemented each other and developed. Then, two alliances united to deal with the Alpha. Mu Tiannan’s club instigated the war by linking them together, and Li In also used a precious prescription to make the two alliances believe that the Alpha Alliance really had mastered the so-called “secret of longevity” and tried to monopolize it.

After all, Li In Institute could be almost considered as an officially recognized agency. The two alliances could never know its predecessor was a pharmaceutical group on the rabble planet Earth which had the “secret of longevity”. The Alpha Alliance would also never know that the secret it had been hiding so well had been publicly known.

Before Mu Tiannan confessed to Lin Luoran, Rong Xihe, current leader of the Rongs, was busy in other star regions, implementing Mu Tiannan’s

“alignment and nonalignment” strategy.

Of course, he knew that Lin Luoran whom the Rongs had been waiting for several generations was back.

She had returned in an extremely dominant way.

Rong Xihe still remembered the persistence of his ancestors for a life time—the Rongs should always take care of the Lins’ business. Now that the head of the Lin family was back, he naturally wanted to integrate all the resources and then handed it over to Lin Luoran in person.

Out of several reasons, Rong Xihe had not rushed back to Dongting until he received Mu Tiannan’s message.

After Rong Xihe tells Lin Luoran everything clearly, he wants to give Li In institute back to her.

Lin Luoran laughs and asks him what she can do with the institute. Middle-aged Rong Xihe suddenly feels embarrassed. He realizes Lin Luoran’s current status and feels that if he asks “Mortal Heart Fairy” to manage these trivial matters, he will be split in half by a large number of her believers.

Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory was set because Lin Luoran wanted to bring the benefits of cultivation to ordinary people. When she was weak, she wanted to be a good man. When she was in power, she wanted to do good deeds. Saying the least of it, Lin Luoran can guarantee that Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory has never got any filthy money from Huaxia people.

Now that the Rongs have run the business for many years, they have devoted much more effort than the Lin family did back then. The research institute still adheres to the original concept of benefiting country and people under the management of the Rongs. Lin Luoran feels that it makes no difference if the ownership is taken back.

How can she have the energy to take care of a huge institution at this moment?

Lin Luoran has already been very happy to see the descendants of her old friends. She only offered a little help to the little girl named Tess on the ice field. How could she make Tess pay back so much?

Lin Luoran refuses to accept the research institute. Rong Xihe thinks it through and stops pushing her. Anyway, he is just a manager, and the owner is Lin Luoran. Having taken care of the institute for so many years, Rongs are careful and worried about the development of the institute. They fear that Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory which has been developed for hundreds of years will be destroyed in their hands. Now that the owner is back, they have the backbone. When they manage it, they will not be as constrained as before.

Lin Luoran knows how busy Rong Xihe is, but she still invites him to have dinner together.

Lin Luoran, the siblings of the Ma family, Han Weiya, Colin, Hu Ji, Liao, Bai Qingxue, and Mu Tiannan join them.

Having dinner with Gathering Vitality cultivator who is a fairy of one place, the Green Mountains fox king, immortal Liao, and the “powerful monster” Mu Tiannan, Rong Xihe trembles.

However, the number of people for this meal is the largest in the past two months. Although everyone present is tired, people are extremely satisfied with this warm dinner.

Even Bai Qingxue has a faint smile. The four young people always felt that she is cold. Because of her former identity, the four young people did not dare to be too close to her. Now they feel much better because of her smile.

Innocent Han Weiya even puts a hairy crab onto Bai Qingxue’s plate, which makes Bai Qingxue stunned. In the past, cultivators didn’t pay attention to food. When their personal ability was not good enough, they would use Bigu Bolus to replace food. After their personal ability got better, they would rely on Reiki for a living. At most, they tasted spirit fruit and drank some spirit tea. For cultivators like Lin Luoran and her apprentices who eat fish and meat and all kinds of food every day, all teachers would think that such cultivators were not promising, because they couldn’t get rid of desire for the mortal world.

Therefore, such a cozy scene of a group of people sitting together to eat and drink is rare for Bai Qingxue even when she hadn’t been a remnant soul trapped in the abyss hundreds of years ago. To put it bluntly, she has forgotten what food tastes like.

After her new birth, she is a female cultivator in the middle period of Training Qi without any Bigu Bolus… Bai Qingxue has struggled a lot before she starts eating. Unexpectedly, every dish on the table is not harmful to cultivators because the ingredients all come from Lin Luoran’s space. If she eats them for a long time, it will even be good for her personal ability.

Bai Qingxue finally opens her mind.

However, the act of taking food like Han Weiya did… she only remembers such kind of experience had happened before she attended school. Back then, she and her family lived in a small mountain village.

Bai Qingxue freezes. It seems that she does not hate this kind of action that triggers her memory.

Thinking about this, Bai Qingxue’s expression softens. Finally, she reveals the relaxed feelings that suit her appearance. She is finally not the “fairy” who always keeps distance from others with a Gathering Vitality soul inside.

Perceiving the changes of Bai Qingxue, everyone shows respect to innocent Han Weiya. Han Weiya is totally ignorant and she smiles at everyone. Her mouth is stuffed with a mouthful of vegetables and she looks silly. Even Lin Luoran feels this moment freezes, so she smiles.

After dinner, Rong Xihe is sent away, and noisy Mas’ Villa becomes quiet again. Young people are busy with their own duty now, and it is not easy to gather them. Mu Tiannan is busy during the day and he has to rush back to the Rose Hotel to handle trivial matters at night.

He promised to Black Tortoise that he would protect Lin Luoran for one hundred years. Naturally, he hopes her life can be easier and easier. Only if he handles threat as much as possible can he carry out his promise.

Rong Xihe leaves, so do the young people. Liao asks Hu Ji to “take a walk after dinner” and they disappear. Maybe it’s Lin Luoran’s illusion. Recently, she feels that they have been acting suspiciously and been weird all day long. It seems that they have been discussing something.

Only Lin Luoran and Bai Qingxue are still in the yard. This place is very close to Dongting Lake with plenty of water vapor and humid air. The fragrance of various fruit and vegetables fills this small yard. People are always refreshed after smelling it for a long time.

Lin Luoran has always been busy around all day. However, in this quiet night and such a warm environment, she has an illusion that she is still living in the small courtyard of the Lin family before the new era. It seems that in the next second, a teenager with a schoolbag will enter the door first. His friend’s eyes are covered by long bangs and his back is straight. He is dragged in by the schoolbag boy for food.

Occasionally, the host of the family will return with some fresh fish, and then the hostess’ specialty fish will appear in dinner. There will be a single-edged fox which is a picky foodie. Gold hawk will catch snakes, which attracts fat foodies from the Cui family.

However, these things will never happen the next second. Such kind of things happened a long time ago. Lin Luoran is a little absent-minded at this moment.

“You really don’t know what you-know-who is thinking about?”

Bai Qingxue swallows the cakes mixed with sweet-scented osmanthus with tea. She only feels that the ingredients are very delicious and attractive. She sighs in her heart—if she also has a portable space like that of Lin Luoran which can shorten the planting time with abundant Reiki, she will evolve into a foodie sooner or later.

Hearing Bai Qingxue seemingly inadvertent inquiry, Lin Luoran smiles bitterly after freezing for a moment, “I am not blind. He is so dedicated. I think if I say I want the moon or some stars, he will try to get them the next second. It’s fake if I say I am not moved. However, how can I care about romantic relationship in the current situation?”

Bai Qingxue sneers: “Romantic relationship matters. Don’t look down on it.”

Lin Luoran is sweating coldly. Who on earth taught Bai Qingxue such kind of tone?

However, she can also understand Bai Qingxue’s thought. White Fairy and Mr. Wuye have been through a lot for so many years. No one knows if Bai Qingxue’s hard work at this moment will be paid back. Bai Qingxue is happy to see lovers in the world to be together. It will be a great comfort for her.

Thinking of this, Lin Luoran is also kind of confused. “Fairy… Oh, sorry, wrong again. Sister Bai, I admire the sincere love between you and Master Wuye. You can give everything to each other. However, as you said, romantic relationship may become a catastrophe. How can I try it casually?”

What she doesn’t say is that if she doesn’t know her origin, she will hardly respond to others’ love. When she is in love, she suddenly realizes that she is just a chess piece or a substitute for someone else without complete personality. In this case, how can her love be worthy of a wholehearted person?

Bai Qingxue shakes her head and wants to say something when Lin Luoran pats her forehead. She remembers something important.

Lin Luoran takes out a Storage Bag and the Bright Sword from the space. She pushes them to Bai Qingxue. “I haven’t had a good rest after returning from Lost Land. Today I finally remember to return the property to the original owner.”

The first thing is the treasure that she and Bai Qingxue went to the Misty Peak to take out. Most of things in it are the best spirit stones. At this moment, Bai Qingxue’s personal ability has fallen to the bottom. If she wants to start over, spirit stones are indispensable. The second one is Bright Sword. It was a gift to White Fairy from Ye Zhao. It has a special meaning and Lin Luoran can no longer keep it.

When she gives it back, she erases the brand of the sword. At this moment, Bright Sword has become a masterless sword again.

Bai Qingxue refuses and says, “You don’t have to worry about what my personal ability enhancement needs. The storage bracelet left by Ye Zhao has all kinds of materials in it. What the personal ability enhancement needs in the early stage and the later stage is totally different. The things are few but well chosen. For what I need now, it is enough for me to use before I bear essence again. For these spirit stones, I have said that they are a gift to you. As for Bright Snow…”

Lin Luoran nods in hurry, “Even if I accept the spirit stones, Bright Snow is still a token of love from Mr. Wuye. I should never take it. Don’t worry about Snow Sword. I will find an opportunity to retrieve it. A couple of lovebirds should never be separated.”

Bai Qingxue finally nods. She doesn’t want to ask for anything else. However, “Bright Snow” has embodied beautiful feelings.

She will refine a better flying sword and exchange it for the Snow Sword from Baojia.

Beside Dongting Lake, at the same time.

The leaves of a long-leaf willow are almost picked up by Liao. The beautiful young man rolls his eyes, “Well, you are a person who once certified Tao. Can’t you show some care about the environment?”

Liao glances at him and hums, “Animals also care about the enhancement? The world has really changed a lot.”

Hu Ji is furious. He really wants to scold that all Liao’s families are animals. Thinking that he can’t defeat the stinky old man in front of him now, he is not angry but laughs, “If you are so powerful, you can say this sentence to that half-monster!”

Liao thinks Hu Ji is too naive and ridiculous. He tries to provoke Mu Tiannan all the time. Besides setting off Mu Tiannan, what else can he do?

Liao sighs, “I am worried when I am amnesia, but I am even more worried when my memory is restored. Do you think I should remind Linny that she should leave the mess of the earth alone?”

Hu Ji shakes his head, “She has spent so much effort. She can even delay meeting her families and she will never give up easily.”

Liao sighs, “But once she succeeds, her agreement with that person will… I just think that it’s her chance to really live for herself.”

Hu Ji coldly snorts, “What shitty agreement. Just find whoever made it. How can people buy or sell by force!”

Liao looks at him as if he is a fool. Hu Ji is irritated and he pounces to Liao. The two quickly scramble together without caring anything else. It shocks the fish and shrimps by the lake to flee around. They panic all day long.

After talking so much, they are still off the track. Discussion becomes Liao and Hu Ji ridiculing each other. As for whether to confess the truth, well, let’s slow it down!

In Zhongdu City.

Baojia has lived as an ordinary person for a few months. She turns in today’s spoils and carries a mutant monster back to her rented apartment.

Today she is delayed for a while. When she returns home, the nurse she hired obviously feels relieved.

“Sorry, I come back a bit late today.”

Baojia has a good attitude. The middle-aged nurse tells her something about the situation of Chiao today. When the woman opens the door to leave, she remembers something. She points to the paper on the table and says it was sent by the community staff. The nurse’s tone is envious. After the door is closed, Baojia picks up the paper. It’s an application form for accommodation.

It turns out that it is the sympathy of the staff in the area. She is a young girl with a man with dementia so she has the opportunity to move in the defense city as the second batch.

Baojia watches the application form for a while blankly. She finally crumples up the paper and throws it into the trash can.

Then she goes into the kitchen casually and makes a simple but nutritious dinner for two. After patiently feeding it to foolish Chiao, Baojia cleans up the kitchen. It’s late.

She takes a shower and lays on the bed, but she can’t sleep.

Yes, she restored her previous memories in the Green Mountains world.

Firstly, there were some tiny scraps of memory in her mind. She escaped because of two different identities and the impact of different lives. But the farther she escapes, the clearer those memories become.

She remembered that she was an orphan when she was young. She remembered that her grandpa got off the car and picked her up. When they got in the car again, they went to the villa in the capital. She didn’t say a word all the way. She was too scared to speak. When she got home, her tough grandfather called her “Baojia” and buried his head in her neck. The hot tears made her cry.

Commander Qin comforted her hurriedly. After crying, she was extremely dependent on her only relative. She followed Commander Qin everywhere. Originally, he was a tough veteran who didn’t know how to comfort children. Whenever he was time, he dedicated himself to cooking. People of the old generation thought that children should eat well.

Except for the only daughter who had passed away, he had no other families. Baojia changed her surname to Qin after growing up.

Later on, she moved back to the center of Chuan province to go to school. She met a friend, and she had the first real friend other than mercenary friends.

Commander Qin was transferred back to Chuan, and she also stayed there. Commander Qin didn’t blame her for not inheriting the family business. He didn’t force her. He said she was a girl and being a soldier was too tough for her. Therefore, he pushed her to learn her favorite jewelry design.

And then?

She never regrets for the choices she made. What she regrets is that if she had known that “Qin Baojia” would fall asleep in her early thirties, she should have accompanied the stubborn old man more. She should have joined the army to be a female general that made the old man proud.

She is a competent adult now. However, Commander Qin can never witness it.

Baojia picks up the application form from the trash can. She suddenly covers her face and bursts into tears.
