Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Lu Lin was stunned when he saw the familiar figure in front of him. He immediately relaxed his grip on Kunlun's hand and breathed a sigh of relief. If the scholar was willing to protect him, then this blood cultivator in front of him was not a threat.

The blood cultivator opposite Lu Lin frowned, staring at the scholar who had suddenly blocked Lu Lin's path. He quickly realized he couldn't see through the man before him, so he cautiously spoke, "I have no grudge against you, and this matter has nothing to do with you. I wonder what your intentions are?"

The scholar's clone raised his head, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion, as if stating an indisputable fact: "Evil cultivators deserve to die. Our Cliff Academy does not welcome evil cultivators, especially those whose purpose is to kill."

Xue Xiu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly became angry.

The reason why cultivators in this world cultivate is to compete for freedom. Whether they are evil cultivators or righteous cultivators, they are just on different paths. There are no laws or orders in this cultivation world that stipulate that evil cultivators should die.

Isn't this person just putting on airs when he says these words?

"You do have a pure heart, yet you belittle me to nothing. Well then, I shall see what you're capable of."

The scholar's clone remained calm and composed.

Seeing that the scholar still refused to back down, the blood cultivator felt that his authority had been challenged, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

A faint smell of blood filled the air, and blood mist emanated from the Blood Cultivator's body. The clanging sound of chains could be heard from within the blood mist, indicating that the chains were the Blood Cultivator's weapons.

Sensing the chilling and terrifying aura emanating from the blood mist, the scholar was completely certain that the other party was an evil cultivator.

"A magical artifact forged from blood?" The scholar stared at the blood mist before him, letting it spread and envelop both himself and Lu Lin.

But the scholar clearly didn't take the matter to heart, and even calmly and indifferently commented:

"Among cultivators on the path of blood cultivation, only this Blood Domain has some merit, judging from its size and quality..."

At this point, the scholar's previously indifferent gaze sharpened, and he abruptly changed the subject: "You massacred the city, didn't you?"

Lu Lin stood behind the scholar's clone, and the moment the scholar finished speaking, he felt a chilling aura. This chill did not come from the blood cultivator, but from the scholar in front of him.

This chilling aura, almost solidified, contained a boundless killing intent. Even with Lu Lin's cultivation and strength, he found himself unable to muster any resistance in the face of this killing intent.

These are the twenty-four solar terms of the Cliff Academy.

No, this scholar is not yet one of the twenty-four solar terms of the academy; he is merely a seed.

However, the blood cultivator was completely unaffected by the killing intent released by the scholar. Upon hearing the scholar's words, he even seemed somewhat smug and readily admitted it:

"You have a good eye! That's right, I slaughtered cities, and more than one! Behind this overwhelming bloodlust are tens of thousands of souls, but even so, what can you do to me?"

"Once you enter my Blood Domain, even those at the ninth level of Qi Refining will perish!"

Upon hearing this, the scholar no longer hesitated and slightly raised his hand.

Blood Cultivator remained unconcerned, a sinister smile curving his lips. Instantly, a large number of blood-red chains rushed towards the scholar, as if he could already see the scholar and Lu Lin being pierced by the chains.

Strangely, his chains, which initially seemed unstoppable and menacing, suddenly became imprisoned in mid-air after approaching the scholar. The scholar then raised his hand and slowly wrote the character "blood" in the air with his index finger.

With the blessing of this one word, "blood" becomes the scholar's sacred ground.

The blood cultivator's expression changed drastically as he suddenly sensed intense malice emanating from all directions.

His blood domain, because of this one word written by the scholar, immediately turned against him!

"What kind of tactic is this?!"

Blood cultivators had never heard of such a thing, and their meager knowledge was utterly useless before the scholar. The chains he had previously used to slaughter low-level cultivators now became his own death warrant, binding him and slowly tightening.

The compression of space caused the blood light in the Blood Domain to distort. Under the scholar's power, the blood cultivator's power could not be exerted at all, just like an ant being pressed under the foot of a mountain.

Even at this moment, Xue Xiu still couldn't discern the scholar's cultivation level.

He was like a frog at the bottom of a well who suddenly saw the sky outside the well. His humble and insignificant knowledge was not worth mentioning under this sky.

The scholar remained standing still, watching helplessly as the chains in mid-air bound and tightened around the Blood Cultivator, so tightly that the Blood Cultivator's eyes were almost bulging out.

The scholar said calmly, "My Cliffside Academy cannot tolerate evil cultivators, much less cause trouble within the academy. You've come to the wrong place."

Blood Cultivator's body was bound by chains, his flesh twisted and his features became ferocious. He wanted to speak, but he felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat. Not to mention speaking, even breathing was unbearably painful.

After the scholar finished speaking, the blood domain that had enveloped him and Lu Lin began to slowly dissipate, and the surrounding scenery was eventually replaced by the moonlight.

Lu Lin, standing behind the scholar, was completely stunned.

"Senior, this evil cultivator..." Lu Lin was about to ask the scholar how to deal with the evil cultivator, but before he could finish speaking, the blood cultivator exploded under the binding of the chains, and his body and internal organs were completely turned into dust and vanished into nothingness.

The scholar remained calm, his only action being to reach out and retrieve the chains and the Qiankun bag left in mid-air.

Once the two items came into the scholar's hands, they shone with a bright green light. When the light dissipated, all the evil energy and resentment that had tainted the two items were purified.

The chains transformed into righteous magical artifacts that anyone could use, and the marks of evil cultivators disappeared from the Qiankun Bag.

After doing all this, the scholar turned around and tossed the Qiankun bag to Lu Lin, saying, "There's nothing of value in this Qiankun bag, just a few spirit stones. Here, take it."

Lu Lin was flattered and took the Qiankun bag in his hand. He used his spiritual sense to examine it and was immediately surprised.

Among them were nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

"Thank you very much, senior." Lu Lin quickly expressed his gratitude.

The scholar shook his head: "No need to be polite. Evil cultivators should be killed by everyone. And you destroyed the blood-infused spiritual plant on the road, which showed your pure heart. The things in the Qiankun bag are the good results you have received. I am just letting nature take its course."

After speaking, the scholar turned to look in the direction of the main hall and said to Lu Lin, "Now that the blood cultivator is dead, the blood marks on your body can be removed. Once they are removed, return to the main hall. Those taking the test should not leave their spiritual plants for too long."

Lu Lin quickly bowed and accepted the greeting, but when he looked up again, he found that the scholar's figure had already disappeared from his sight.

It was at this moment that Lu Lin realized that the scholar had only brought an avatar.

This startled Lu Lin, who couldn't help but think:

What kind of monsters are the twenty-four solar terms at the Cliffside Academy?

With such talent and strength, yet not arrogant and treating everyone equally... Lu Lin was a little curious about what the cultivation environment of the main campus of the Cliff Academy was like.
