At this moment, Lin Wan’er, also known as ni, waspletely absorbed in the seedling before her. Kneeling on the ground, she gazed at it intently, her expression brimming with excitement.


    Meanwhile, Charlie Wade, who stood nearby, stared at the vibrant green seedling in a state of bewilderment.


    Charlie felt as though his mind was struggling toprehend what was happening.


    He was baffled by how all evidence of rain had vanished after the heavy downpour.


    His nine years of schooling only left him with one thought: this was unscientific.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Or to put it more bluntly, it was absolutely f*cking unscientific.


    He examined his body, running his hands from the top of his head down to his chest, then from his chest to his back, and finally down to his ankles. He even took off his shoes and searched inside them for a while.


    However, the areas he touched werepletely dry, showing no signs of having been rained on at all.


    Lin Wan’er was in the same predicament.


    Charlie vividly recalled that just moments ago, Lin Wan’er’s hair had been damp from the heavy rain, clinging to her cheeks, making her look slightly embarrassed.


    Her trendy T-shirt, soaked by the rain, had clearly revealed the outline of her underwear.


    Yet now, not only was her shirtpletely dry, but it also showed no creases whatsoever.


    “This is so f*cking bizarre!” Charlie muttered to himself.


    He then turned to Lin Wan’er again, asking, “Miss Lin, did it really rain just now? Am I experiencing some sort of hallucination?”


    Lin Wan’er nodded gently and replied, “Master, it did indeed rain a short while ago. My family has lived for many years, and I’ve never witnessed such a torrential downpour.”<fn4ab1> Get full chapters from Find~Novel</fn4ab1>


    “Right,” Charlie nodded slightly, then fixed his gaze on her and inquired, “But where did all the rain go? How is it just… gone?”


    Lin Wan’er shook her head, saying, “I honestly don’t know.”


    Charlie ced his hands on his hips, feeling perplexed, “This is incredibly unscientific. They say geese leave traces when they fly. How can there be such a heavy rain, and now it’s just vanished? The soil isn’t even damp; it’spletely dry. What on earth is going on?”


    With a smile, Lin Wan’er replied, “Master cultivates the Tao, and yet he’s puzzled by the presence of a mysterious woman who has lived for nearly four hundred years. Why should he adhere so strictly to science?”


    Charlie responded earnestly, “I believe that Tao can also be exined through scientific principles. It’s likely that our current technology hasn’t yet grasped the underlying principles. Perhaps Reiki is just a more advanced form of energy, simr to atomic energy. Back in the day, no one would have believed that one kilogram of nuclear fuel could release energy equivalent to thousands of tons—millions of kilograms of coal. Reiki might just be an invisible energy akin to nuclear fuel.”


    Lin Wan’er smiled and agreed, “You’re right, Master. Perhaps aura is indeed a higher form of energy that most people haven’t yet learned to understand, nor have they studied its principles.”


    Charlie continued, “Even spiritual energy must abide by thew of energy conservation, right? It rained heavily just now, and now the rain has stopped, yet the water is nowhere to be found. This is energy conservation; where has the water gone?”


    He pressed on, “Also, I used up most of my spiritual energy with that thunder strike. Where did that energy go?”


    Lin Wan’er pointed to the seedling in front of her and smiled, “Your aura is right here! If it weren’t for your thunder strike, how could the mother of Pucha have been reborn?”


    Charlie was taken aback and asked, “But didn’t the mother of Pucha turn to ash over three hundred years ago?”


    Lin Wan’er nodded solemnly, “That’s correct. My family witnessed her being struck by lightning and turned to ash.”


    Charlie directed his gaze toward the seedling and asked, “How can this be exined?”


    Lin Wan’er replied earnestly, “Master, although the mother of Pucha is just a tree, she is also a tree that has survived a great catastrophe. While she’s not human, consider how formidable her strength must be. Simrly, the mother of Pucha is likely one of the most exceptional trees among trillions, and her abilities probably exceed our understanding.”


    Surprised, Charlie asked, “Are you suggesting she could save herself after failing to transcend the tribtion?”


    Lin Wan’er nodded and inquired, “Have you ever heard of Sanxian, my lord?”


    Charlie instinctively shook his head, “I’ve never heard of that.”


    Lin Wan’er exined, “In ancient Taoist legends, it’s said that if one sessfully ovees the tribtion, they be immortal. However, if they fail, they face annihtion. But there’s another possibility: if one fails to transcend, they might dissolve into a loose immortal. This allows them to reshape their golden body and regain their cultivation, but they will never have the opportunity to ascend through tribtion again.”


    Charlie was astonished, “That’s incredibly powerful. So, does this mean that as long as one’s cultivation reaches the level necessary to transcend the tribtion, it’s equivalent to having a safety? They be a loose immortal if they’re defeated and disbanded on the spot? Isn’t that like the unfinished chapter of state-owned enterprises from back in the day?”
