Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Chapter 139 Cliffside Treasure Vault

After explaining the rules to Lu Lin, the female scholar didn't linger. She stood up and bid him farewell, saying, "I wish you all the best tomorrow, young master. I'll take my leave now."

"I'll see you off, sir." Lu Lin stood up and escorted the female scholar to the courtyard gate, then watched her leave and disappear into the night.

But Lu Lin's heart was not at ease at all; on the contrary, it was filled with heaviness. The thought of fighting those people with physical skills tomorrow made Lu Lin feel uncertain.

"I hope all those first-place winners are old and frail tomorrow," Lu Lin thought to himself as he returned to the courtyard.

Lu Lin had spent the entire day dealing with cultivators who came to win him over, and then went to the Su family for drinks and dinner in the evening. He was exhausted by now. After seeing the female scholar off, he went inside and lay down on the bed.

As soon as he got into bed and closed his eyes, Lu Lin fell asleep, and a few moments later, soft snoring could be heard.

The next day, at Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

As the morning glow faded, Lu Lin arrived at Shanya Lake, where a large crowd had gathered. Many of them looked smug, wearing identity tokens issued to them by Shanya Academy around their waists.

Some are alchemists, some are array masters, and some are plant masters like Lu Lin.

They all looked to be at least thirty-four years old, but their pride made them appear more spirited than young people in their twenties.

In contrast to these people were some cultivators who did not wear tokens. These cultivators appeared to be more composed. There was no smugness or pride on their faces, and their aura made it clear at a glance that they were not easy to deal with.

Lu Lin didn't want to attract attention, but his reputation was too great, and he even broke the record of the Cliff Academy for the past hundred years. So when Lu Lin appeared, everyone looked over at him without prior arrangement.

Those who had been so arrogant instantly dropped their expressions and became noticeably humble.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Lin coughed lightly and raised his hand to wave to everyone.

Everyone quickly returned the gift to show respect.

Just then, after Lu Lin arrived, the female scholar also arrived, carrying a scroll in her hand, followed by two ordinary disciples from the Cliff Academy.

His appearance instantly drew all attention away from Lu Lin.

Everyone adopted a more humble and respectful attitude: "Greetings, Chief Examiner."

The female scholar smiled and nodded to the crowd. He unrolled the scroll in his hand, which naturally listed the names of those qualified to go to the treasure vault.

"I won't waste your time. Everyone whose name is called next, please step forward and follow me."

After speaking, the female scholar tossed the scroll in her hand to the young man behind her. The young man quickly took the scroll and unrolled it in front of him.

"Next, we'll read out the names of the top performers in various assessments."

"Lu Lin, the first place winner in the Spirit Plant Master Examination."

"Bai Zhen, the first place winner in the alchemist examination."

"Shen Le, the first place winner in the formation master assessment."

"First place in the talisman master examination —"

'

Lu Lin secretly memorized all the names that were read aloud, while looking at the crowd to observe who these people were. According to what the female scholar had said yesterday, these people might all fight him in the treasure vault.

Are they all at the sixth or seventh level of the Qi Refining stage? Lu Lin sensed the cultivation levels of those people and felt somewhat fortunate. Fortunately, cultivation levels were suppressed in the treasure vault, and only physical techniques could determine the winner.

Eleven names were read out in total.

Surprisingly, none of the eleven of them looked very old. Except for Lu Lin, who was fifteen, the others all looked to be around thirty.

Those who look to be in their fifties or sixties, although they passed the assessment, usually don't rank very high.

"All eleven of you, come with me."

The female scholar smiled at the eleven of them.

Lu Lin quickly followed.

The other ten people seemed to be complete strangers, and they didn't talk much along the way.

Only the female scholar spoke to them on the way: "You may choose any treasure from the treasury, but only by taking it out will it belong to you. If you cannot take it out, this opportunity will be wasted."

"Once inside, your cultivation levels will be restricted. If any conflict arises, as long as no one dies, you can do whatever you want."

These words were spoken.

The powerful figures who had been keeping their heads down all raised their heads at this moment, which is quite interesting.

The female scholar had told Lu Lin about this last night, so Lu Lin didn't react in any particular way. He quietly followed behind her, passing through a small path.

After the female prime minister finished speaking, they finally arrived at the treasure vault of the cliffside academy branch.

The vault has three floors and is estimated to cover an area of ​​at least ten acres.

The treasure vault's gate was three zhang tall, inscribed with intricate patterns. As Lu Lin approached, he could clearly feel a sharp aura enveloping him.

"What a profound killing formation."

Among the crowd, the top scorer in the formation assessment was the first to speak, his eyes filled with shock.

The female scholar chuckled: "Not bad! You were able to tell that this is a killing formation. Ordinary formation masters would subconsciously think it's a defensive formation when they see this."

The female scholar continued, "This formation can suppress any cultivator who dares to approach the treasure vault and whose cultivation level is below the Foundation Establishment stage. However, of course, there are also formation masters who can break this formation directly."

There is a rule at the Cliff Academy that any formation master who can break the formation of the Cliff Academy's treasure vault can freely enter and exit the treasure vault. This rule still applies within the main campus of the Cliff Academy.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

The top-ranked formation master was even more excited: "If I can break this formation, then I can take any treasure in this vault I want?"

The female scholar nodded slightly and laughed, "Yes."

The top formation master was very ambitious. He had just passed the test, yet he was already thinking about breaking the formation of the treasure vault of the Cliff Academy.

The female scholar then pointed to the wall on one side of the treasure vault door and said to the array master, "Not only that, look at that wall, there are array diagrams for this array there, you can look at them freely."

The array master immediately looked towards the wall and, sure enough, saw a diagram pasted on it, which depicted the array diagram of the very formation in front of them.

Just how confident do they have to be to stick the formation diagrams on the wall?

The array master was somewhat eager to try it out.

But the female scholar then reminded him, "No one can die here today, so you can't try to break the formation for now. Come back another time when you have another chance."

Upon hearing this, the array master temporarily put aside his thoughts.
