Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

After the Zhou family's heir left, Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing. The Su family's heir and eldest sister came before Lu Lin, and the Su family's heir asked with concern:

"Is the young master alright?"

Lu Lin shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, I'm sorry to have worried you two."

"This is my fault. I came here once this afternoon, but seeing that you were cultivating, I didn't disturb you. I never expected that the young master of the Zhou family would take advantage of the situation." Young Master Su sighed, feeling very guilty.

Lu Lin knew that the young master Su was just being polite, so he didn't respond. Instead, he took the opportunity to change the subject and asked, "What cultivation level is the young master of the Zhou family at?"

"At the seventh level of Qi Refining, his strength is considerable, but he is currently severely injured and his strength is less than half of what it used to be." This was the answer given by the eldest sister of the Su family.

Lu Lin asked curiously, "Then why didn't he just kill me?"

Cliff Academy does not prohibit private fights. Even if he dies here, the people of Cliff Academy will not care. The Zhou family heir has no reason to reason with him.

The reason for this was explained by Prince Su to Lu Lin: "Because that scholar and you acted very intimately today, the Zhou family is very wary of that person, so they don't dare to openly make a move against you. Of course, it's also because your identity is very mysterious that they don't dare to act."

Lu Lin suddenly realized that he had been saying that there was no reason to reason with someone like the Zhou family's heir, because he was afraid of that scholar.

After resolving his inner confusion, Lu Lin did not linger there any longer. He immediately cupped his hands to Prince Su and the eldest sister of the Su family and said, "Gentlemen, it's getting late. I also obtained two secret techniques today, and I need to go back and cultivate them properly. I'll take my leave now."

Su Shizi and Su's eldest sister did not try to keep Lu Lin, but they still chose to see him off. After arriving at Shanya Lake and watching Lu Lin enter the pavilion, they bid him farewell with peace of mind and looked away.

"Have you found out who this young master is?" After saying goodbye to Lu Lin, Su Shizi and Su Shi's eldest sister turned their backs to Shanya Lake, and Su Shi's eldest sister asked.

Prince Su shook his head: "We can't find out anything. We only know that he's an outsider. There must be someone hiding behind the scenes preventing us from investigating. That guy from the Zhou family doesn't dare to make a move against him, partly because he's wary of that scholar, and partly because he can't find out Lu Lin's background."

Upon hearing this, the eldest sister of the Su family stopped asking questions and left the cliff academy with the young master Su.

Everything that had just happened under the pavilion was witnessed by two scholars in the six-story pavilion in the distance.

"Senior brother, you said the human blood spirit plant is related to the interception of the seeds? Then tell me, did that Zhou family brat get involved?"

The female scholar's eyes were sharp at this moment, and she exuded a cold and aloof aura that did not match her scholarly demeanor.

Beside him, the scholar Lu Lin knew shook his head: "I'm just telling you what I suspect, it doesn't mean I'll investigate. You've asked the wrong person. Also, you could investigate Sang Leng of the Kirito Escort Agency; you might find something useful."

The female scholar frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, the scholar did not linger and turned to leave, leaving the female scholar standing there with a headache.

……

On the other side, after returning to the second-floor attic, Lu Lin closed the doors and windows, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took out the Taibai Food Pleiades, which he had only partially comprehended.

Under the influence of the Divine Enlightenment, the originally obscure and difficult-to-understand Taibai Shimao gradually became clear and understandable in front of Lu Lin. In just half an hour, he gained a point of comprehension.

However, the difficulty of Taibai Shimao was beyond Lu Lin's expectations. The further he went in comprehending it, the slower the rate at which he gained comprehension points became.

For the next hour, the points of comprehension remained unchanged.

"Am I too tired today, which is why my efficiency is so low?" Lu Lin rubbed his temples and suddenly felt that he should take a break. So he simply closed the book in his hand, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Time passed second by second.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, a series of commotions broke out outside the pavilion. Lu Lin rubbed his forehead, got out of bed, opened the window and looked out. He saw a group of people looking in his direction from the shore of the cliff lake, accompanied by a disciple from the cliff academy.

It seems that these people are cultivators who have come from all directions to participate in the assessment.

Speaking of which… Lu Lin stroked his chin, lost in thought, and murmured, “Today is the eighth day of the seventh month, and tomorrow is the assessment day.”

Lu Lin thought for a moment, dressed himself neatly, jumped down from the attic, and came to the front of the crowd.

Lu Lin found the disciple from the Cliff Academy who had accompanied him. This disciple was the same one who had brought him here two days ago. Upon seeing Lu Lin, the disciple cupped his hands in greeting and treated him with great courtesy.

"Greetings, Young Master Lu."

Lu Lin quickly returned the greeting, then asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, what is the current situation?"

The other party didn't hide anything and explained to Lu Lin, "The assessment starts tomorrow, and all the cultivators taking the assessment need to make arrangements in advance. By the way, I remember you're taking the Spirit Plant Master assessment, young master?"

"Yes." Lu Lin nodded.

The disciples of the Cliff Academy were about to remind Lu Lin that the group for the Spirit Plant Master assessment wasn't here, but at that moment, a figure walked over first. The disciples of the Cliff Academy's expression changed upon seeing the newcomer, and they quickly bowed and clasped their hands, saying, "Greetings, Martial Uncle..."

"No need for formalities." The scholar waved his hand. "I am the examiner for this Spirit Plant Master assessment. Young master, please come with me. I will show you the assessment rules."

Lu Lin was taken aback when he saw the scholar: "Senior, you..."

The scholar smiled, turned around and passed by Lu Lin. Lu Lin saw this and quickly followed, his heart filled with curiosity.

After Lu Lin left, the disciple from the Cliff Academy looked puzzled: "Why did Martial Uncle suddenly decide to proctor the exam, and even come looking for Young Master Lu..."

It is obvious that even the disciples of the Cliff Academy were unaware of the scholar's appearance.

Lu Lin followed behind the scholar and asked curiously, "I've heard that you are a promising disciple of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms at the Cliff Academy?"

The scholar readily admitted, "Yes. However, the prerequisite for becoming one of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms is to break through the Foundation Establishment stage, which I am still lacking."

Although she already knew the answer in her heart, she still felt a little different after hearing the scholar admit it himself.

Lu Lin felt like he was dreaming.

The scholar laughed heartily when he saw Lu Lin's expression:

"There's no need to feel pressured. The so-called 24 solar terms are just a name, and I'm only a few years older than you, young master."

The disciples of the Cliff Academy are humble.

The names of these twenty-four solar terms are the most prestigious names in the world.

While the two were talking, Lu Lin and the scholar arrived at the site of the Spirit Plant Master assessment.
