Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

As time passed day by day, the number of examinees in the main hall decreased day by day. Some examinees burned their spiritual roots in their haste to accelerate growth, while others withered their spiritual plants due to exhaustion and poor growth. Of course, the largest number of examinees gave up because the growth rate was too slow and they could not see any hope of passing the test, so they had no choice but to give up on their own.

Six days later, only a handful of people remained in the examination hall. Among them, only Lu Lin was still cultivating earth-attribute spiritual plants. At this moment, the earth-attribute spiritual plants exhibited different characteristics from the other spiritual plants. Although Lu Lin watered them with human blood and used superior innate wood power to accelerate their growth, the earth-attribute plants still grew slower than the other spiritual plants.

The scholar had been observing Lu Lin these past few days, but after seeing the growth of the spiritual plants in front of Lu Lin, he shook his head regretfully: 'He's always been a step too late.'

The earth-attribute spiritual plant in front of Lu Lin was a full 1.3 feet long, with a pale blue light emanating from its top. It looked quite beautiful, and the surrounding temperature dropped a bit because of this spiritual plant, turning the moisture into mist.

It's just one step away from being ready.

But there was less than an hour left before the end of the assessment.

The spiritual plants in front of the other examiners were already mature. What they were doing now was using methods to preserve the vitality of the spiritual plants so that they would pass the quality test at the end of the assessment.

After all, how to preserve the medicinal effects and activity of spiritual plants for as long as possible is also within the scope of spiritual plant masters' assessment.

But Lu Lin was not in a hurry. Instead, he slowly closed the book in his hand. After nearly seven days of stimulating growth, Lu Lin had already figured out the characteristics of the spiritual material in front of him.

Yin Earth Attribute, Solidifying Yin Grass is quite common among spiritual plants of the Yin Earth attribute, but its growing environment is also relatively remote. It mainly grows in places with heavy Yin energy, such as mass graves or natural Yin-gathering places.

When women take it, it can strengthen their yin and make them beautiful. Not only will their skin become more radiant, but their internal organs will also become supple and healthy. If used in combination with extremely yang substances, it can even have the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

However, although its effects are very beneficial to women, few people use it and it is not very valuable on the market.

There are two main reasons: First, earth is the element that carries all things, and yin energy is everywhere. Therefore, the greatest characteristic of yin earth is that it is deeply rooted. Once a cultivator consumes this spiritual material, there will be an accumulation of yin energy in their body that is difficult to release. Whenever the yin energy is heavy on the night of the full moon, the yin energy in the body is very likely to go out of control. For women, when yin energy goes out of control, yang energy must be replenished. The concrete reaction is estrus.

Secondly, because this herb itself has limited effect on cultivation level, cultivators usually consume it to save their lives, or for women to consume it for their Daoist partners.

Therefore, in books, this grass has another name, called Albizia julibrissin, which emits a peculiar fragrance after it matures, arousing people's sexual desire.

There is an extreme method to accelerate the maturation of the Yin-Nourishing Grass: since the Yin-Nourishing Grass grows on corpses, anything that can control corpses can also control it.

The Yin-Nourishing Grass itself possesses spirituality. After sensing the power that restrains the corpse, its internal activity will be passively stimulated, and in this way, the Yin-Nourishing Grass can mature.

This method can only be used once, and there are two possible outcomes: either the herb will die directly, or its potential will be stimulated, and its quality will improve.

With less than an hour left until the end of the assessment, instead of accepting failure as it comes, it's better to take a gamble.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin had a thought, and the little black thing that had turned into a bracelet returned to its original form.

Black dog blood is an excellent material for treating corpses.

Lu Lin pondered for a moment, then took out Kunlun: "Little Black, give me a hand."

After saying that, Lu Lin used Kunlun to cut an opening in Xiao Hei's forelimb. Xiao Hei understood what Lu Lin was going to do and stubbornly held back from making a sound.

Drops of crimson blood fell onto the soil in the flowerpot, causing the ginseng plant to sway and the blue light at its tip to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Upon smelling the strange odor in the air, the scholar immediately looked at Lu Lin. He was startled when he saw Lu Lin using black dog blood to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants.

Other aspiring plant masters who had already brought their spiritual plants to maturity also looked over, their faces immediately showing confusion.

"Is this kid just fooling around? Using extreme yang energy to generate yin energy to accelerate the growth of the Yin-stabilizing grass is one method, but the Yin-stabilizing grass is already close to maturity and has revealed its attributes. If it is then watered with black dog blood of extreme yang attribute, it will burn away the original yin attribute of the spiritual plant."

"It seems that he knows he has no chance in this assessment, so he can only gamble with this method."

"..."

Seeing that the spiritual plant in the flowerpot was about to wither, Lu Lin immediately healed the wound on Xiao Hei's forelimb and turned it back into a bracelet to wear on his wrist.

The natural senses granted to him by the druid immediately allowed Lu Lin to perceive the current state of the Yin-Solidifying Grass, which was like a candle flickering in the wind or a leaf falling in the rain.

"There's still a chance." Lu Lin took a deep breath, mobilized the power of nature, and poured it into the spiritual plant.

The pale blue light spots that were originally teetering on the brink of collapse gradually solidified, and in a short while, the pale blue light became dazzling.

At the same time, a fragrance filled the air in the main hall.

Those present were all aspiring plant masters, and upon smelling the aroma, they immediately covered their mouths and noses to avoid losing face in front of others.

The scholar looked at the Yin-Nourishing Grass with blue light spots on its top in the flowerpot and was somewhat surprised. He had never heard of or seen such a method of stimulating the growth of spiritual plants.

Lu Lin sniffed the air, his face showing excitement.

You won the bet!

He quickly made a hand seal, forming a barrier around the Yin-Stabilizing Grass to block its fragrance.

And coincidentally, at this time...

A bell rang.

The scholar withdrew his gaze from Lu Lin and looked at the remaining people in the main hall. After a careful count, he found that only eight people had successfully cultivated the spiritual plants to maturity, which was the lowest number in the past ten years.

But similarly... the scholar glanced in Lu Lin's direction.

Lu Lin's existence broke the record of the Cliff Academy in nearly a hundred years, making him the youngest spirit plant master in nearly a century, without exception.

After the assessment ended, the others who had passed also noticed this, and their eyes were filled with envy as they looked at Lu Lin.

At such a young age, Lu Lin has become a spirit plant master, and his future is limitless.

They are different from those spiritual plant masters who have cultivated for one or two decades before passing the assessment.

Today, as long as Lu Lin leaves this hall, he will be greeted by flattery and attempts to win him over from all sides. Even the Cliff Academy might personally intervene, since Lu Lin's current performance is already enough to get him into the Cliff Academy.

"Dear examinees, please place your fully cultivated spiritual plants here. At this time tomorrow, the Cliff Academy will record your results on the assessment list by Cliff Lake. Please return and wait patiently."

Upon hearing the scholar's voice, everyone snapped out of their daze and placed the spiritual plants they had nurtured on the high platform.

Lu Lin was no exception.
