Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

The power of Jia wood is the best among wood attributes. After entering the body of the eldest sister of the Su family, it not only absorbed all the remaining earth attribute power in her body, but also increased the vitality of the eldest sister of the Su family, making her feel that her whole body is full of power.

The eldest sister of the Su family smiled with a relaxed expression. After receiving the infusion of Jiamu power, she patted Guji's head with a smile and said, "Thank you, little guy."

"Guji guji." Guji danced with its vines, very happy.

Lu Lin smiled and made Guji transform back into vines and wrap around his arm: "The remaining earth attribute power has been eliminated. Next, we need yang attribute spiritual materials. This should not be difficult for Prince Su."

Su Shizi nodded and bowed to Lu Lin in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your help, Young Master Lu. However, please keep my sister's matter a secret and do not spread rumors."

"Don't worry, I won't mention this again after I leave." Lu Lin stood up and took the opportunity to say goodbye, "Then, it's getting late, I'll take my leave now."

"Young Master Lu, please take care on your journey," said Prince Su.

Prince Su and his eldest sister watched Lu Lin leave.

"Where did you meet this guy?" Su's eldest sister asked after Lu Lin had walked away.

"He came to the Cliffside Academy to take the Spirit Plant Master assessment. I happened to see him using the Wood Spirit Root technique by the lake earlier today, so I took the opportunity to get to know him," said Prince Su, stroking his chin earnestly.

"Judging from our interaction tonight, his background must be extraordinary, and he may have undergone a major cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the words "Foundation Building," the eldest sister of the Su family clearly became interested.

The Su family is a family at the eighth level of Qi Refining, meaning that for three consecutive generations, at least one cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining has been born in the Su family. However, the strongest member of the Su family is only one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage. These descendants of the Su family are naturally sensitive to the word "Foundation Establishment".

"Sister, you were injured and didn't feel it, but I did. There was a powerful water-attribute aura hidden on his body. The owner of that aura, even if he wasn't at the Foundation Establishment stage, must be a cultivator at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining stage. As you know, I have a fire and wood spiritual root, and I am most sensitive to water-attribute power."

The eldest sister of the Su family naturally believed her brother, and her expression immediately became much more serious: "If there really is a Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him, then if we befriend him, perhaps we can help the family advance further!"

Prince Su nodded thoughtfully, but didn't hold out much hope: "I can only try my best in the next few days. The chances are slim, but I'll still give it a shot."

In the cultivation world, families with members at the Foundation Establishment stage and those without are two completely different concepts; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they soar to the heavens.

The eldest sister of the Su family quickly reached out and placed her hand on the young master's hand, reminding him, "Don't rush, let's talk to Father and the others first, and then make a plan."

"That's fine too."

……

Lu Lin returned to the Shanya Academy branch alone. After 9 PM, there were noticeably fewer people on the road, but it was still very lively overall. There were still many boats on Shanya Lake, and the people on the boats were mostly scholars or couples.

The most crowded place is still the shore of Shanya Lake, where a large number of lanterns float with the water towards the depths of Shanya Lake.

Lu Lin glanced at the lake a few more times, then followed the lotus flowers he had planted at Shanya Lake that day to his residence. But to his surprise, there was a candlelight coming from the pavilion, and Lu Lin immediately frowned.

At this moment, Lu Lin realized that many people were looking at him, and more and more eyes were turning towards him.

"What do you mean?" Lu Lin subconsciously summoned his folding fan and squinted at the candlelight in the attic.

crunch--

With a soft sound, the window on the second floor of the attic opened, revealing a young man who chuckled and looked down at Lu Lin as he returned.

"Don't you know? The number of cultivators participating in the assessment is far greater than the number of pavilions."

Lu Lin frowned: "So you're going to steal it?"

The young man laughed and said, "No, no, no, it's not that I want to take it, it's that you want to take it. Now that you're gone, this attic is naturally ownerless."

Lu Lin stared at the young man on the second floor of the attic, his hand holding the folding fan bulging with veins.

This young man's cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. If they were to really fight, it's hard to say who would be stronger.

The young man occupying the attic wore a mocking expression: "So, dare you steal it?"

He bet that Lu Lin didn't have the courage to take the risk.

Cliff Academy never forbids private duels, and even allows competition, even life-or-death battles, between visiting cultivators. However, with so many people around, exposing one's strength and methods in full view of others is extremely dangerous.

But clearly, Lu Lin is different from ordinary people.

Lu Lin unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy immediately entered the lake. The originally calm lake surface suddenly rippled, and a water dragon emerged, lifting Lu Lin high into the air, higher than the pavilion where the young man was.

Seeing this, the cultivators around the cliff lake were all surprised, as if no one expected Lu Lin to make a move.

The young man standing in the pavilion also changed his expression, a fleeting look of panic crossing his face. But when he saw the folding fan in Lu Lin's hand, his expression returned to its usual disdain and mockery, and he drew a sword.

"I didn't expect you to actually dare to make a move. But I'm very curious, how do you, a wood spirit root who only plays with fans, plan to fight against a sword cultivator like me?"

Swords are made of metal and are effective against wood-elemental spirits.

Fans themselves are not good at fighting, so from any perspective, Lu Lin is no match for him.

The boats on the lake gradually moved away from this side.

But the crowds by the lake were gradually gathering in this direction.

The disciples of the Cliff Academy were the first to be alerted. They looked at Lu Lin, who was being lifted up by the water dragon, and then at the young man in the pavilion.

"A cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage?"

"It seems one is on the path of water, and the other on the path of swordsmanship?"

The disciples of the Cliffside Academy had far more discerning eyes than ordinary cultivators. Upon arrival, they merely glanced at the scene before offering their assessment:

"Nido-tō, who uses a fan, is no match for Kendo-tō."

The other cultivators present also deeply agreed.

After all, among those at the same cultivation level, the decisive factors in victory or defeat are generally the path of cultivation and the weapon used, at least for those below the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage.

Lu Lin ignored the opinions of others; he simply stood on the head of the water dragon, staring intently at the young man wielding the sword.

Upon hearing this, the young man became even more arrogant and confident, standing behind the window and saying:

"I really like this pavilion. You, an ordinary cultivator of the Five Elements Water Path, are no match for me. It's not too late to leave now. If we really fight, my sword won't be merciless."

Lu Lin remained calm and simply introduced himself: "My name is Lu Lin, fourth level of Qi Refining."

Seeing that Lu Lin still refused to back down, the young man felt offended and snorted coldly, "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish. The one who will kill you is the sword cultivator Liu Chang."
