Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Pure wood energy suddenly appeared in the hall, drawing everyone's attention. However, the assessment was ongoing, and whispering and discussion were not allowed. So, they only glanced at him before turning their attention away from Lu Lin.

Only the scholar on the high platform looked at Lu Lin with a hint of amazement in his eyes. He had met Lu Lin before and knew that Lu Lin was a cultivator with an innate wood spiritual root and a dual path of nature and stars.

However, he never expected that Lu Lin would be able to release such pure innate wood attribute power, something that could not be found among the disciples of their Cliff Academy.

Under the influence of this force, the previously dormant earth-elemental seed finally reacted. The druid's natural senses clearly perceived that the seed was awakening internally and was about to sprout and break through the soil.

The process of stimulating growth lasted for a full half hour. The spiritual energy in Lu Lin's Qi Sea was gradually squeezed out and almost dried up. However, the harvest was also very obvious. The seeds in the flowerpot had sprouted and broken through the soil.

call!

Lu Lin let out a long breath, placed his hands on his chest and pressed down, focusing his energy in his dantian. He looked at the sprouting seed and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"As expected of the Cliff Academy's assessment, even the first test is so difficult."

Lu Lin's words were not loud, and no one heard them.

But the scholar saw the seeds that had already sprouted. According to what the female scholar had said, although the seeds that Lu Lin had chosen had a certain degree of activity, even a true spiritual plant master would not be able to grow them. But now, Lu Lin had directly forced them to grow.

If that's the case… The scholar frowned: 'It seems I'll need to investigate whether those plant masters truly possess any skills once I return.'

Spirit plant masters hold an extremely high position at the Cliff Academy. They are responsible for taking care of all the spiritual materials in the academy. If they didn't have real skills, the annual losses from the spiritual fields alone would be astronomical.

After the first germination process, Lu Lin observed his surroundings and found that the speed at which he made the seeds germinate was not slow, placing him in the upper-middle range. However, making the seeds germinate was only the first test. The real test for Lu Lin was how to make the earth-attribute seeds grow faster than the wood-attribute seeds and other attribute seeds.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin took out a book from his Qiankun bag and carefully flipped through it.

Earth-attribute spiritual plants are divided into Yin and Yang. Yin Earth plants are those that grow in extremely cold places, grow slowly, but can keep a person alive after consumption. These plants are much rarer than Yang Earth plants, and are extremely difficult to obtain.

The simplest way to determine its yin and yang is to place your hand near it; the blood flow will increase or decrease accordingly due to the medicinal effect.

Lu Lin looked at the book and stretched out his right hand. As he got closer, he clearly felt his hand become cold, which meant that the seed was a seed with the Yin Earth attribute.

Seeds with the Yin Earth attribute grow much slower than those with the Yang Earth attribute.

Lu Lin closed the book and stared at the seed, lost in thought.

There are two ways to cultivate seeds with the Yin Earth attribute: one is to water them with ordinary Yin cold power; the other is to nurture them with extreme Yang power.

After all, extreme yang gives rise to yin.

The former is more methodical, while the latter is more extreme and has a better effect on fertilization than the former.

"But where can I find something of extreme yang right now?" Lu Lin pondered, stroking his chin.

There are not many things in the world that are extremely yang.

The first is the innate Yang fire, the second is the blood of the dragon and tiger, and the third is the blood of a child.

Needless to say, the innate Yang Fire is all located at Tianhuo Cliff, and cannot be found at this cliff academy.

Lu Lin could obtain the blood of the dragon and tiger, but the people of the Cliff Academy would probably not allow him to openly sneak into the bottom of the cliff lake and approach the spiritual vein. Moreover, even if they did, Senior Water Dragon might not help him.

In that case... only the blood of a virgin can be tried.

Thinking it over, Lu Lin took out the Kunlun fan and used the folding fan bone to make a bloody mark on his palm. Crimson blood flowed out along the wound, then gathered into drops of blood through the lines on his palm, which Lu Lin dripped onto the soil of the flowerpot.

A faint smell of blood permeated the air, causing many cultivators who were cultivating spiritual plants to freeze in shock. They sniffed the air and smelled the odor.

Using human blood to nourish spiritual plants is not a righteous path; to put it nicely, it's a heretical practice, and to put it bluntly, it's an evil and crooked path.

This is the first time someone has used human blood to stimulate the growth of spiritual plants at the cliffside academy.

The scholar also looked at Lu Lin. But his expression remained unchanged. The assessment requirements clearly stated that there were no restrictions on the methods used to cultivate spiritual plants; even watering them with human blood was acceptable.

But how immense is the power required to nurture a spiritual plant? The pressure of using human blood alone would be enormous; I fear that after seven days, the spiritual plant would not mature before the human blood had drained away.

After the blood was absorbed into the flowerpot, the seed in the flowerpot was like a parched land receiving rain. Its roots and stems grew wildly, absorbing the power from the blood. As the extreme yang generated yin, the growth rate of this seed immediately increased several times. The stems and leaves exposed in the soil grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and light blue veins spread on them.

During the seed's growth, the surrounding temperature drops rapidly, and the moisture in the air instantly turns into water mist.

Half an hour later, Lu Lin withdrew his hand, unfolded the Kunlun sword in his hand, and ran it over the wound on his palm. The wound quickly healed, and the bloodstains evaporated at that moment.

"It really works." Lu Lin smiled, watching the seeds grow so rapidly, and began to estimate in his mind: 'If it grows at this rate, it will be fully mature in seven days.'

The other cultivators who participated in the assessment also saw Lu Lin's gains and were immediately tempted. They all looked at the scholar on the high platform.

The scholar did not stop the watering with human blood, so what about them...?

Several of the cultivators participating in the assessment exchanged glances, then took out sharp blades, cut their palms, and dripped their blood onto the soil in the flowerpots.

But the moment their blood came into contact with the soil, the seeds not only failed to accelerate their growth, but their vitality was rapidly eroded and devoured, and they withered and died in the blink of an eye.

Many cultivators shook their heads upon seeing this, their faces showing mockery.

There are specific rules for watering spiritual plants with human blood; if the yin and yang are not balanced, it will only burn the seeds themselves.

Those who are now following Lu Lin's lead and seeing the benefits of watering plants with human blood are, frankly speaking, completely lacking their own understanding of spiritual plants, and the knowledge they have gained from the books they have read is only superficial.

And with that one move, one-tenth of the people were immediately eliminated.

If a seed dies, it means the assessment has failed.
