Balala the Magic Fairy

Ever since Lin Shilan flew away on a cloud, although everyone in the garden felt sad about the loss of their good companion, their determination to cultivate immortality became stronger.

Zhen Huan walked alone among the flowers, her mind vague and as if she was thinking about something.

"Huan'er, why are you so sad?" Shen Meizhuang came over with light lotus steps, a smile on her brows.

Zhen Huan sighed softly: "Since Shi Lan is gone, even though the garden is full of flowers, it still feels a little lacking in vitality."

Shen Meizhuang nodded slightly: "Sister, what you said is very true, but the path of cultivating immortals is inherently unpredictable, and we should treat it with a normal heart."

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw a brilliant golden light descend from the sky and land on a small island in the middle of the lake. In the golden light, a scroll of ancient books could be vaguely seen, emitting a wisp of fairy air.

"Could this be a secret book of immortals?" Zhen Huan showed a look of surprise.

"Let's go and find out what's going on." Shen Meizhuang was also fascinated.

Upon hearing the news, everyone rushed to the island in the middle of the lake. They saw the ancient book floating in the air, with the words "Taixu Heart Sutra" on the cover, shining with a mysterious light.

Yinzhen was overjoyed: "This is a great opportunity sent by heaven. We should practice this sutra together in the hope of achieving enlightenment and becoming an immortal soon."

So, they set up a Dharma altar on the island in the middle of the lake and studied the Taixu Heart Sutra day and night. The text was profound and difficult to understand at first, but everyone was very smart and had made some progress in cultivating immortals, so they gradually got into the right state within a few days.

Spring is fleeting, and it is already midsummer. One day, Zhen Huan sat quietly beside a lotus pond, playing with a lotus flower in her hands and reciting the Heart Sutra in her heart. Suddenly, she felt her mind tremble, and the spiritual energy in her body surged, and she seemed to have a breakthrough.

"Huan'er, what's going on?" Shen Meizhuang was surprised and happy.

Zhen Huan slowly opened her eyes, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes: "Sister Mei, I seem to have glimpsed the threshold of the golden elixir road."

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said: "Huan'er is extremely talented. If she can form a golden elixir, she will be the best in my garden."

Zhen Huan smiled slightly, and said nothing more, but continued to practice with concentration. She knew very well that the road to immortality was like facing the abyss, and the slightest negligence would lead to eternal damnation.

A few days later, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the garden. Colorful clouds gathered in the sky and celestial music was heard. Everyone knew that it was a sign that Zhen Huan had formed an elixir, and they all came to watch the ceremony.

Zhen Huan was seen sitting cross-legged on the altar, with spiritual energy swirling around her, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex. As time passed, the spiritual energy vortex gradually condensed, and finally turned into a golden elixir that was shining brightly, hanging above Zhen Huan's head.

"Congratulations, sister Huan, for forming the golden elixir!" Shen Meizhuang cried with joy.

"Huan'er is indeed gifted." Yinzhen's face was also full of joy.

Zhen Huan slowly opened her eyes and smiled calmly: "Thank you all, this is the result of our joint efforts."

Since then, Zhen Huan's cultivation has greatly improved, and everyone in the garden has shown her even more respect. However, Zhen Huan did not become arrogant because of this, but became more humble. In addition to practicing every day, she also taught others, making the atmosphere of cultivation in the garden more intense.

As autumn turns to winter, the Grand View Garden is covered in snow, looking exceptionally beautiful. One day, as everyone was admiring the snow, they suddenly saw a beam of white light descend from the sky and land in the plum forest in the garden.

"What does this sign mean?" Ye Lanyi looked curious.

"Could it be that another immortal has arrived?" Shen Meizhuang speculated secretly.

They all went to Merlin together, and saw a crystal clear snow lotus in the white light, emitting wisps of cold air.

"This is snow lotus, the greatest treasure in the world, and it has the effect of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the bones." Zhen Huan said in surprise.

"How should we use such a treasure?" Yinzhen asked.

Zhen Huan pondered for a moment and said, "This snow lotus is rare, why not refine it into a pill for us to take together to improve our cultivation."

Everyone agreed, so they set up an alchemy furnace in the plum forest and asked Zhen Huan to refine it herself. After 49 days, the elixir was refined and everyone took it, and their cultivation was improved.

As time passed, the cultivation of the people in the garden became deeper and deeper, but their longing for Lin Shilan never diminished. One day, a crane suddenly flew into the garden with a letter in its mouth.

"This letter comes from Shilan!" Zhen Huan was surprised and delighted.

In the letter, Lin Shilan mentioned that his practice in the Immortal Palace was going smoothly, that he had found his destiny as an immortal, and that he would return to the garden to have a chat next spring.

As spring arrives, everything in the Grand View Garden comes back to life, with flowers blooming and birds singing.

Since Zhen Huan formed the elixir, the cultivation of everyone in the garden has improved, and Lin Shilan's return date is getting closer, and everyone is full of expectations.

On this day, everyone in the garden gathered at Qinfang Pavilion to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, waiting for Lin Shilan's return. Zhen Huan wore a light green gauze dress, holding a volume of "Taixu Heart Sutra", with a hint of expectation between her eyebrows.

"Huan'er, now that Sister Shilan has returned, what are your plans?" Shen Meizhuang asked softly.

Zhen Huan smiled slightly: "Of course we should reminisce about the past and discuss the way of cultivating immortality together."

"That's great." Shen Meizhuang nodded and looked into the distance, as if expecting something.

Suddenly, a rainbow bridge appeared in the sky, and on the bridge, a graceful figure slowly walked over. It was Lin Shilan. She was wearing a white dress that looked like flowing clouds, with a crystal jade pendant tied around her waist, and she exuded a faint fairy spirit.

"Shilan!" Everyone stood up in surprise.

Lin Shilan smiled and waved to everyone, "Sorry for the wait, Shilan is back."

"Sister Shilan, you have been away for several years and we have been worried about you." Zhen Huan quickly stepped forward and held Lin Shilan's hand.

Lin Shilan's eyes were slightly red: "Sister Huan, Shilan also misses everyone very much."

Everyone sat together, and Lin Shilan told them what she had seen and heard in the Immortal Palace. Everyone listened with great interest. She took out another immortal fruit and shared it with everyone to taste. The immortal fruit melted in their mouths, and a stream of clear water flowed directly into their dantian. Everyone felt that their cultivation had improved.

"Sister Shilan, have you learned any advanced magic in the Immortal Palace?" Ye Lanyi asked curiously.

Lin Shilan smiled and said, "There are many immortal arts in the Immortal Palace. I have learned the 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Heart Sutra' and I will teach it to everyone today."

Then, Lin Shilan taught the essence of "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Heart Sutra" to everyone, and everyone practiced according to it, and their cultivation level reached a higher level.

As spring turns to summer, the lotus flowers in the Grand View Garden are in full bloom, and the fragrance is everywhere. On this day, Lin Shilan and Zhen Huan strolled hand in hand by the lotus pond, talking in low voices and laughing from time to time.

"Shilan, it seems that your cultivation has improved greatly since your return this time. I wonder what you have learned?" Zhen Huan asked.

Lin Shilan pondered for a moment and said, "The way to cultivate immortality lies in the heart. If the heart is calm, everything is clear; if the heart is chaotic, everything is empty."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Sister, what you said is very true. People who cultivate immortality should cultivate their mind first."

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw a crane descend from the sky and landed beside the lotus pond. The crane spoke in human language: "Lin Shilan, your destiny has come. Follow me to the Immortal Palace."

Lin Shilan's expression changed slightly, and she said to Zhen Huan, "Sister Huan, it looks like Shilan is leaving again."

Zhen Huan tightly grasped Lin Shilan's hand and said, "Don't worry, sister. The road to becoming an immortal is full of ups and downs."

Lin Shilan nodded, turned around and followed the crane away, leaving Zhen Huan standing alone by the lotus pond, looking at her receding back, with mixed feelings in her heart.

As summer turns to autumn, the chrysanthemums in the Grand View Garden are in full bloom, turning golden yellow. On this day, everyone in the garden gathered in Qiu Shuang Zhai to enjoy the chrysanthemums. Yin Zhen held a glass of chrysanthemum wine and said with a smile: "Although Shi Lan is gone, we must not slack off in our cultivation."

"Your Excellency is right." Everyone responded in unison.

"Huan'er, you are now in the middle stage of the Golden Core. I wonder what you have realized?" Shen Meizhuang asked.

Zhen Huan took a sip of chrysanthemum wine and said, "The way to the golden elixir is to refine the heart. If the heart is not moved, the golden elixir will naturally solidify."

"Huan'er is absolutely right." Yinzhen nodded in praise.

As everyone was admiring the chrysanthemums, they suddenly saw a golden light descending from the sky into the garden. In the golden light, there was a golden pill that exuded an alluring fragrance.

"What is this?" Everyone gathered around in surprise.

"This is the 'Nine-transformation Golden Pill'. Taking it can help people break through their cultivation level." A voice came from the golden light. Everyone looked up and saw an old man with an immortal look standing in the golden light.

"Thank you for the elixir." Yinzhen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

The old man smiled and said, "This pill is a gift from heaven. Take it and achieve immortality soon."

Everyone thanked the old man and divided the Nine Transformations Golden Pill among them. After the pill entered their stomachs, everyone felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, and their cultivation had indeed made a breakthrough.

As autumn turns to winter, the Grand View Garden is covered in snow. On this day, everyone in the garden gathers in Nuanxiangwu to enjoy the snow scene. Zhen Huan, wearing a white fox fur coat and holding a cup of hot tea, looks at the snow scene outside the window, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

"Huan'er, what are you thinking about?" Shen Meizhuang asked softly.

Zhen Huan sighed: "I wonder when the road to becoming an immortal will end."

Shen Meizhuang smiled slightly: "The road to immortality has no end. We just need to focus on the Tao, and we will gain something."

"Sister Mei is right." Zhen Huan nodded with a firm look in her eyes.

As everyone was enjoying the snow, they suddenly saw a white light descending from the sky and landing in Nuanxiangwu. In the white light, there was a crystal clear jade slip, emitting a faint chill.

"What is this?" Everyone gathered around in surprise.

"This is the 'Taiyin Xuanjing', the supreme method for cultivating the power of Taiyin." A voice came from the white light. Everyone looked up and saw a fairy with icy skin and jade-like bones standing in the white light.

"Thank you, fairy, for the scriptures." Yinzhen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

The fairy smiled and said, "This scripture is a gift from heaven. You should study it and achieve immortality soon."

Everyone thanked the fairy and passed the Taiyin Xuanjing around to study. The text was profound, but everyone was smart and understood it in a few days.

Winter has passed and spring has arrived. Everything in the Grand View Garden has revived and is full of vitality. On this day, everyone in the garden gathered in the Yihong Courtyard to celebrate the New Year. Yinzhen held a glass of fine wine and said with a smile: "During the New Year, we should drink this cup together to celebrate the joy of cultivating immortals."

"Your Excellency is right." Everyone responded in unison.

"Huan'er, you are now in the late Jindan stage. What are your plans?" Shen Meizhuang asked.

Zhen Huan took a sip of the wine and said, "I want to practice in seclusion, hoping to break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible."

"Huan'er has lofty ambitions, and we should certainly support her." Yinzhen nodded in praise.

As everyone was celebrating, they suddenly saw a green light descending from the sky and landing in the Yihong Courtyard. In the green light, there was a jade pendant that was so green that it exuded a faint spiritual aura.

"What is this?" Everyone gathered around in surprise.

"This is the 'Green Lotus Jade Pendant', a supreme magic weapon for practicing the way of Green Lotus." A voice came from the green light. Everyone looked up and saw a young immortal in a green shirt standing in the green light.

"Thank you, Immortal, for the treasure." Yinzhen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

The immortal smiled and said, "This treasure is a gift from heaven. Please use it and achieve immortality soon."

Everyone thanked the immortal and passed the blue lotus jade pendant around for appreciation. The jade pendant was exquisite, but everyone knew that on the road to immortality, although magic weapons were good, they could not be overly dependent on them.

On this day, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang strolled hand in hand along the winding paths, admiring the spring scenery in the garden.

"Sister Mei, look how beautiful the peach blossoms are." Zhen Huan gently stroked a branch of peach blossom that stretched out of the wall, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

Shen Meizhuang smiled and nodded: "Yes, the peach blossoms seem to be welcoming the return of Sister Shilan."

"Sister is right." Zhen Huan's gaze passed through the branches and looked into the distance, as if she was expecting something.

The two walked slowly along the flower path, with the fragrance of flowers and the dancing of butterflies. Suddenly, a melodious flute sound came, and Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang smiled at each other, knowing that it was Ye Lan Yi who was playing.

Following the sound, I saw Ye Lanyi sitting on a bluestone, holding a jade flute, playing a piece of "Spring River Moon Night". The flute sounded so melodious that the surrounding birds quieted down, as if they were also listening to this beautiful music.

"Sister Lan Yi's flute playing is becoming more and more moving." Zhen Huan exclaimed.

Seeing the two of them coming, Ye Lanyi stopped playing and said with a smile, "Sister Huan, you are too kind. I just played casually when I had nothing to do."

"Sister, you are too modest." Shen Meizhuang said, taking out a silk fan from her sleeve and gently fanning it, "This spring day is the best time to enjoy the scenery and listen to music."

As the three were chatting and laughing, Yinzhen came over with a group of attendants. He was wearing a light blue robe and a jade pendant around his waist, looking particularly handsome.

"Huan'er, Meizhuang, Lanyi, it's so pleasant for you to enjoy the flowers and listen to music here." Yinzhen said with a smile.

"Sir." The three of them stood up and saluted.

Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. It's spring today, and I brought some fine wine and delicacies to enjoy the spring with you."

"Thank you, sir." Zhen Huan and the others thanked Yinzhen, but they felt a little emotional. Since Lin Shilan left, Yinzhen seemed to care about them more.

Yinzhen ordered his attendants to spread mats on the grass and put out fine wine and delicacies. Everyone sat around, savoring the food and appreciating the beautiful scenery around them.

"Huan'er, your cultivation has improved again. It's really cause for celebration." Yinzhen raised his glass to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, my Lord. Huan Er will continue to work hard."

"You are all my pride." Yinzhen's eyes moved among the women, his heart filled with pride.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was a little tipsy. Shen Meizhuang suggested, "How about we play a drinking game?"

"Good idea." Ye Lanyi clapped her hands in approval.

Then, everyone started to play drinking games, and there was laughter and joy. When it was Zhen Huan's turn, she thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a couplet, 'Peach blossoms and flowing water disappear into the distance', who can come up with the next line?"

Shen Meizhuang hesitated for a moment and said, "'There is another world, not the human world.'"

"What a good couplet." Yinzhen praised.

After a while of drinking, everyone was a little tired. Yinzhen suggested: "Why don't we go to the lake to row a boat?"

"Okay." Everyone responded.

So, the group came to the lake and boarded the prepared pleasure boat. The pleasure boat slowly sailed into the lake, and everyone leaned on the railing to look out, and saw the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains.

"The fish in this lake are so free." Zhen Huan couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the fish swimming in the water.

"Yes, they are carefree, which is really enviable." Shen Meizhuang also sighed.

"It would be great if we could be as free as fish." Ye Lan Yi said softly.

Yinzhen heard this and said with a smile: "If you like, I will build a water pavilion in this lake so that you can come here to play at any time."

"Thank you, sir." The girls thanked in unison.

The pleasure boat cruised in the lake for a while and then came to the shore. Everyone got off the boat and walked along the path beside the lake. Suddenly, a breeze blew, bringing a faint fragrance.

"It smells so good." Zhen Huan took a deep breath.

"This is the scent of orchids." Shen Meizhuang pointed to a patch of flowers not far away, "There is a patch of orchids over there."

"Let's go and take a look." Ye Lanyi suggested.

The three of them came to the orchid bushes, and saw that the orchids were in full bloom, with a fragrant aroma. Zhen Huan couldn't help but pick one and put it to her nose to smell it.

"This orchid is so beautiful." Zhen Huan exclaimed.

"Yes, its fragrance is also very special." Shen Meizhuang also picked one and held it in her hand to observe it carefully.

"How about we transplant these orchids into the garden?" Ye Lanyi suggested.

"Good idea." Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang agreed in unison.

So the three of them started transplanting orchids. Yinzhen saw that they were very interested and joined in. After a while, they transplanted a lot of orchids.

"These orchids will surely bloom more beautifully in the garden." Zhen Huan looked at the fruits of her labor with satisfaction.

"Yes, then we will be able to smell this fragrance every day." Shen Meizhuang was also very happy.

"Let's go somewhere else and see if there are any other beautiful sights." Ye Lanyi suggested.

So, the group continued to explore the spring and look for flowers. In the Grand View Garden, there were beautiful scenery and laughter everywhere.
