Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

"When do you think those two will get their own weapons?" the eldest asked, turning to the second eldest.

The second son scratched his head: "How should I know?"

The eldest brother glanced at the second brother, and he was dumbfounded that he actually wanted to discuss this issue with the second brother.

Meanwhile, not far away, Lu Lin and Shen Luo launched their first attack, only to be repelled in a single exchange, their chests throbbing with pain.

Feeling the force of the blows hitting his body, Lu Lin grimaced in pain.

No wonder the eldest and second eldest brothers gave them a body-strengthening session last night.

If they were to fight their two senior sisters using physical techniques while still in their mortal form, they could be killed in a single exchange.

Now that the body-strengthening method has protected the meridians and heart meridians, at least there is no need to worry about damaging one's essence or life.

"You've never learned physical skills, so it's almost impossible for you to surpass us. Go find our eldest and second senior brothers; they'll teach you," the third senior sister said to the two with her hands behind her back.

Shen Luo muttered at this moment, "Didn't we come here to cultivate immortality? Why do we still need to practice physical techniques?"

Upon hearing this, the third senior sister immediately looked at Shen Luo and asked, "Don't you understand why we need to cultivate physical techniques?"

"Hmm. Isn't practicing magic good?" Shen Luo asked, puzzled.

The third senior sister remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then stepped forward and asked, "What will you do if magic isn't enough to free you?"

Shen Luo said, "Then I'll go practice."

"Have you mastered the basics of fire control?" the third senior sister asked.

"Of course I've mastered it." Shen Luo said with immense pride when mentioning this.

The third senior sister laughed upon hearing this: "Then how about this, you can use fire control techniques or other spells, as long as the spell you use can touch me, I'll consider you the winner."

"If you can really beat me, you can have the weapon."

Upon hearing this good news, Shen Luo immediately nodded.

Then, the third senior sister stood about five zhang away.

Seeing this, Shen Luo felt even more confident. He immediately formed a hand seal and said earnestly, "Then Senior Sister, you must be careful!"

However, the moment Shen Luo finished speaking, his hand, which was forming a hand seal, was pressed down by another hand, and then with just a gentle force.

Shen Luo's finger is broken.

As an observer, Lu Lin only felt a momentary daze before his third senior sister rushed in front of Shen Luo before he could use his fire control technique and broke his finger.

"Your spells actually require hand seals? I thought you could cast them instantly, which is why I dared to speak so arrogantly."

Shen Luo grimaced in pain, kneeling on one knee with cold sweat covering his forehead.

Seeing his expression, his third senior sister lectured him, "If you could cast spells instantly, I wouldn't say anything if you said physical skills were useless. But with your current level, you dare to say such things, which only makes you look foolish."

After saying that, the third senior sister forcefully pried open Shen Luo's severed finger and reattached it.

Lu Lin watched all of this and felt a chill run down his spine, rubbing his fingers together.

"Listen up, you two. Physical skills aren't for you to fight other cultivators hand-to-hand, but to ensure you have the opportunity to use the spells you've mastered," said the Third Senior Sister.

Lu Lin asked curiously, "Then when will we no longer need to learn physical skills?"

"At a time like this," the third senior sister said, looking at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he felt a terrifying force slash past his side.

He looked back.

But then they saw a large tree not far away being pierced through by a force.

"Once your magic becomes so fast that people can't react, physical skills will become unimportant. But physical skills will still be useful, after all, in the cultivation world, there will always be beings of equal strength to you," the Third Senior Sister said calmly.

Lu Lin was already stunned into silence.

This doesn't make sense, does it?

When he and Shen Luogang first went up the mountain, Third Senior Sister clearly couldn't pull out the red-tasseled spear that was stuck in the door!

How did he suddenly become so strong?

"That's all for today. Go find your eldest and second senior brothers to learn physical techniques." The third senior sister turned around calmly, then sat cross-legged in front of the golden mace and began to meditate and cultivate.

Lu Lin turned to look at Shen Luo.

But they found that Shen Luo was no longer there; she had gone to her senior brother's place.

Clearly, what just happened had dealt a significant blow to Shen Luo's mental state.

"Sixth Junior Brother, come with me too," the Second Senior Brother said, stepping forward. "I'll teach you some physical techniques first."

Lu Lin quickly jogged over there.

After Lu Lin and Shen Luo left, the fourth senior sister said to the third senior sister, "Senior sister was too harsh just now. They've only just started cultivating."

"So what if he has just begun his spiritual practice? He can be weak, he can cry, but he cannot be weak without realizing it, or cry without reflecting on his actions."

The fourth senior sister thought it made sense and fell silent.

……

On the other side, Lu Lin followed his second senior brother to the bamboo forest. The wind was still rustling in the bamboo forest, but it didn't sound chaotic; instead, it was rather pleasant.

The second senior brother arrived in front of a large rock, sat cross-legged on it, and said to Lu Lin, "Sixth junior brother, I'm not very good at teaching, but if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask, and I'll try my best to explain it to you, okay?"

Lu Lin sat cross-legged on another rock and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, senior brother, please go ahead."

"Here, take this book first." Before speaking, the second senior brother handed a book to Lu Lin.

"Seeking the Wind and Stepping on Clouds." Lu Lin was taken aback.

movement technique secrets?

"Wasn't it supposed to be physical training?" Lu Lin looked somewhat confused.

Seeing Lu Lin's expression, the second senior brother knew that Lu Lin had misunderstood the meaning of physical techniques, and immediately explained:

"The full name of physical arts is the art of the body. In short, all movement techniques and secret arts belong to the category of physical arts. And from the smallest things like skimming the water like a dragonfly to the largest things like shrinking the distance between two inches, they are all within the scope of physical arts."

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment.

My brain was unable to recover for a long time.

Is this how physical techniques can be explained?

"Then, senior brother, what about the spells?"

The second senior brother said, "Magic refers to the art of laws, or the art of Tao. For example, your cloud and rain magic is an art of meteorological laws, and your fifth senior brother's fire control magic is an art of fire laws."

"..."

Lu Lin scratched his head, feeling like he was about to grow a brain.

The second senior brother knew that Lu Lin was just beginning his cultivation and didn't understand these things very well, so he didn't urge him.

After waiting for about half an incense stick's time, feeling that Lu Lin had almost finished digesting, he said to Lu Lin:

"You have a wood spirit root, which is the spirit root closest to nature. Master told me that nature is your advantage, so he found this Body Technique for you. The essence of this Body Technique is to move with the wind and be as light as a cloud. Junior brother, do you understand what I mean?" the second senior brother asked.

Lu Lin then came to his senses and looked at the secret manual in his hand.

Seeing that Lu Lin did not respond immediately, the second senior brother continued:

"If you don't want to learn, junior brother, I can teach you offensive martial arts, like Bajiquan or something. But let me be clear: your two senior sisters may not be very skilled in martial arts, but they are definitely not someone you and your fifth senior brother can handle in a short time. You absolutely cannot beat them in a head-on fight."

"No, no, I don't want to learn." Lu Lin finally snapped out of his daze and shook his head repeatedly. He finally asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time:

"Senior brother, I don't quite understand. The day Shen Luo and I first arrived, Third Senior Sister's red-tasseled spear was stuck in the door and couldn't be pulled out. Why is she so powerful today?"

The second senior brother paused for a moment after hearing Lu Lin's question, his mind involuntarily recalling the day Lu Lin and Shen Luo first arrived at the mountain. A sudden embarrassment flashed across his face as he explained:

"Your senior brother obtained a cultivation technique by chance, called the Heavenly Technique of Following Fate. As the name suggests, when the time is right, one's strength will increase, but when the time is not right, one will be weaker than an ordinary person."

"What does that have to do with Third Senior Sister's inability to pull out the red-tasseled spear?" Lu Lin asked with a strange expression.

"Because what cultivation method in the world would harm oneself and others? At the very least, it has to harm both oneself and others for a fool to cultivate it. And your senior brother's cultivation method is just that."

After cultivating the Heavenly Law of Following Fate, all cultivators within a three-zhang radius of him who are weaker than him will be affected by that damned Heavenly Law of Following Fate without discrimination.

The effects of this include, but are not limited to, sudden bad luck, sudden exhaustion of physical strength, and sudden dissipation of spiritual energy. Even worse, if one's Dao heart is unstable, there is a risk of suffering a qi deviation on the spot if one gets too close.

It was clear that the honest and kind-hearted second senior brother was quite resentful when he mentioned this "following fate" law.

Lu Lin opened his mouth slightly: "Isn't this just... a plague god?"

Upon hearing this, the second senior brother immediately slapped his thigh: "Hey! You're right, he is indeed a plague god, that's what Master said about him."
