Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

On the calm lake surface, specks of emerald green spread out, and a faint fragrance filled the air. The koi in the lake began to leap, delighted by this sudden power appearing in the water.

This pure natural power drew the attention of cultivators near the lake, their faces showing amazement.

Lu Lin's lips curled slightly upward as he lifted his leg and slowly stepped onto the lotus flowers. The power of nature continued to spread, and with Lu Lin's movement, more and more lotus flowers appeared on the lake, eventually reaching a pavilion in a short time.

The disciples of the Cliff Academy stood on the shore watching this scene, somewhat surprised: "So it's an innate wood spiritual root? This fellow Daoist is truly suited for the path of nature."

Lu Lin walked gracefully, step by step, until he arrived at the pavilion.

The attic has two floors. The first floor has no windows and is a gazebo. The second floor is the living quarters. The furniture in the room is made of high-quality materials and is finely crafted. There is also a desk and a bookshelf. Incense is burning on the desk and the bookshelf is full of books. The air is filled with a calming atmosphere.

Lu Lin went up to the second floor, opened the window, and looked towards the shore, only to see the disciples of the Cliff Academy looking in his direction.

He saw Lu Lin lean out of the window, and immediately bowed and cupped his hands in farewell to Lu Lin. After saying goodbye, he turned and left, and Lu Lin had no idea where he went.

"Gurgle gurgle."

At this moment, Guji crawled out from under the sleeve, jumped onto the desk, approached the incense burner on the desk, and sniffed it in a human-like manner. Guji really liked its scent.

Lu Lin closed the window again, turned around and followed Guji, looking at the incense burner on the desk. After a moment, he found the relevant information about the incense in his mind: "Incense made with the power of Jia wood, combined with the power of nature?"

If he remembered correctly, this incense stick alone would be worth three low-grade spirit stones on the market.

Then, Xiao Hei also voluntarily deactivated the bracelet and started jumping around the room. It was clear that the two little ones really liked the environment.

Lu Lin didn't disturb them and looked around the room, focusing on the bookshelf next to the desk, which was filled with books:

"Aren't you afraid they'll get stolen if you leave so many books here?"

Lu Lin reached out and randomly picked up a book from the bookshelf to read.

The book is a copy, but the content is full of valuable information.

"The secrets of the twelve meridians..." Lu Lin looked at the contents of the book and felt a chill run down his spine. If this book were released to the outside world, countless cultivators would be scrambling to get their hands on it.

[After reading, you discovered that the book in your hand mainly focuses on how to strengthen your body and how to more easily open up your meridians. You were greatly surprised and amazed by the responsibility of the Cliff Academy. Your Natural Heart experience points increased by 6, and your Divine Enlightenment experience points increased by 6.]

[If you continue this behavior, your experience points will continue to increase...]

This book is not a secret technique or a cultivation method, but it is far more valuable than ordinary secret techniques and cultivation methods.

According to the methods recorded in the book, as long as one has spiritual roots and can sense spiritual energy, one can enter the Qi Refining stage. Such a precious book was casually placed on the bookshelf by the Cliff Academy.

Most importantly, there are no similar books for sale on the market, which shows that the Cliff Academy has this kind of foundation, but has never thought of using this foundation to earn spirit stones.

The greater good of the nation!

After Lu Lin finished reading the book in his hand, he looked at the other books on the bookshelf. Without exception, these books were all very substantial, covering topics such as alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, and beast taming... This almost encompassed all unorthodox and unorthodox methods.

"Although the content of these books is simple, easy to understand, and straightforward, it is not as complete and comprehensive as the books in Master's study." Lu Lin glanced through the books and couldn't help but compare them in his mind. "It seems that the books on the bookshelves of Cliff Academy are all basic editions."

Overall, these books weren't of much help to Lu Lin, as their content overlapped with what he had learned at Tianhang Mountain. However, they were a treasure trove for other cultivators.

No wonder there were so many cultivators practicing at the Cliff Academy over there in the corridor just now.

"Fellow Daoist, would you please come out and meet me?"

Just as Lu Lin closed the last book in his hand, a soft call came from outside the attic. Lu Lin looked up at the window and saw that night had already fallen.

Has it really been that long?

Lu Lin stood up, went to the window, and looked out of the pavilion. He saw that the lake, which had been calm during the day, was now filled with a large number of boats and lanterns. The sound he had just heard came from one of the boats closest to the pavilion.

A young man dressed in a magnificent brocade robe stepped out of the ship. He had a jade pendant hanging from his waist and a folding fan in his hand. He was standing tall and looking up at Lu Lin.

"I am Su Mu, the young master of the Su family of Ancient Spirit City. Today, I witnessed your ability to walk with graceful steps, and I have decided to befriend you. What do you think, young master?"

The Su family...

Lu Lin searched his mind for those two words upon hearing them.

The Su family of Guling City is a renowned Qi Refining family at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage. The young master of the Su family is a famous talent in Guling City, and is known as one of the most promising geniuses to join the Cliff Academy in recent years.

This person is undoubtedly an outstanding individual.

I just don't know what this person's purpose is.

Lu Lin was about to refuse, but the young master of the Su family clearly did not want to miss this opportunity to make friends, and continued, "Young master, please rest assured, although my Su family is only a Qi Refining family, we have our own principles and honors. I have absolutely no ill intentions. Otherwise, I would definitely stop progressing in this life."

Lu Lin's expression changed slightly; he couldn't say such things carelessly.

Cultivation is about cultivating the mind. Once this is said, if one goes against it, it will cause flaws in one's state of mind. At that time, no matter how talented one is, it will be difficult to make any progress.

"Since you've said so, Young Master Su, it would be disrespectful of me to refuse," Lu Lin agreed.

Seeing that Lu Lin was about to leave, Gu Ji quickly transformed into vines and wrapped around Lu Lin's body, while Xiao Hei also transformed into a bracelet and put it on Lu Lin's wrist.

Once downstairs and closer, Lu Lin realized that Young Master Su's ship was no ordinary vessel; it seemed to be engraved with mysterious runes and possessed special power.

The boat was not large, about two zhang long and seven chi wide. It had a cabin with a small wooden table on it, where a teapot and teacups were placed.

Lu Lin boarded the ship and sat down with Young Master Su at a wooden table in the cabin.

Young Master Su immediately poured Lu Lin a cup of tea. The tea was fragrant and must have been the finest of its kind.

"This tea is bamboo tea, made from the leaves of the Enlightenment Bamboo. While it won't grant sudden enlightenment, it can calm the mind. Young master, please have a taste. By the way, I still don't know your name, young master?"

Lu Lin took the teacup in his hand, quickly scanned it with his spiritual sense, and finding no poison, replied:

"Lu Lin has no background; he's a rogue cultivator."

Young Master Su was taken aback by Lu Lin's answer and naturally did not believe it: "Young Master, you are being modest. However, if you do not wish to say, I will not ask, lest we damage our relationship."

Lu Lin took a sip of tea, then looked out of the cabin and saw other boats and lanterns on the lake. He couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Is this how it is at the Cliffside Academy at night?"

"Yes." Young Master Su nodded. "The Cliff Academy is most lively at night, suitable for seeking a Daoist partner or for drinking tea and discussing Dao. Of course, these are actually secondary."

"Oh?" Lu Lin became interested.

"The most interesting thing is listening to music and watching dance. You should know that the women who can play music and dance here are all female disciples of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion."

Huanyinfang is a well-known and powerful force in the cultivation world.

Although it cannot compare to the Cliffside Academy, it is still a force that ordinary people can only dream of.

There is a saying in the cultivation world that if one can marry a woman from the Illusionary Sound Pavilion, then one will have no regrets in this life.

"When will the dance start?" Lu Lin also wanted to see it.

"Almost there. Let's go now, we can make it." It was clear that Young Master Su enjoyed listening to music and watching dance. He immediately formed a hand seal and released a burst of spiritual energy. The special runes on the ship flashed brightly, and the ship immediately headed towards the deepest part of the lake.
