Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Chapter 140 Water-Regulating Elixir

"Crunch!"

The heavy doors of the Cliffside Academy's treasure vault were pushed open by the female scholar, and a profound and ancient aura rushed out. The group of them looked curiously into the treasure vault, but they found that the entrance was a vortex, like a teleportation array, and they could not see the scenery inside the treasure vault at all.

The female scholar pointed to the vortex in front of her and said, "The treasure vault is a relatively independent space. After you go in, you will randomly appear in any location within the treasure vault. I wish you good luck in advance."

As soon as the female scholar finished speaking, someone stepped forward and entered the vortex: "I'll lead the way."

He ranked first in the weapon refiner assessment.

The man was very muscular and the largest among them, so naturally he was the most confident.

No one wanted to compete with him for first place.

After the muscular man stepped into the vortex, the remaining men exchanged glances and then followed suit.

Lu Lin wasn't in a hurry. He quietly stepped back and stood behind the others.

The female scholar watched them enter one by one, and when it was Lu Lin's turn, she said, "Everything went smoothly."

Lu Lin quickly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your kind words, sir."

After saying that, Lu Lin also entered the vortex.

This teleportation array was clearly extraordinary. Lu Lin had expected to feel dizzy and lightheaded after entering, but the process of passing through it was incredibly calm. He felt nothing at all, as if he had just passed through a cave and then suddenly found himself in a bright and open space.

Before him lay a golden expanse, as if the ground were covered in gold. Lu Lin looked up and saw a large number of colorful bubbles enveloping the treasure, which floated in mid-air.

The treasures inside the bubble were a mixed bag, including elixirs, magical artifacts, Gu worms, and talismans.

However, because of the air bubbles, Lu Lin couldn't quite see the quality of these treasures, but he was certain that the treasures inside the air bubbles were things that were hard to come by in the outside world.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been taken into the treasure vault of the Cliff Academy.

Lu Lin was quite lucky.

He looked around and saw that there was no one else nearby, which meant that he could freely choose treasures for a short period of time without worrying about conflicts with others.

"This thing is—a vajra?"

Lu Lin reached out towards a treasure in the sky, and the treasure immediately flew down, and the bubbles burst open. It was a golden pestle with a Buddha image engraved on it.

This is clearly a Buddhist treasure.

"It has a great restraining effect on evil spirits, ghost cultivators, or evil cultivators." Lu Lin held the treasure in his hand and examined it carefully, hesitating whether to choose it or not.

After all, the incident involving human blood and spiritual plants had left him with considerable psychological trauma.

But in the end, Lu Lin put the vajra back in his hand.

As soon as he let go, the Vajra Pestle was once again enveloped in bubbles and flew into the air.

"Let's see if there are any other more suitable ones." Lu Lin thought to himself as he ventured deeper into the treasure vault, looking around as he went.

In just half an hour, Lu Lin had seen a pen, a breakthrough pill, and a mirror.

But none of them met his requirements.

Finally, at this moment, Lu Lin noticed something: "This is—the Dragon Tendon Zither?"

The instrument is about three feet long and has twenty-five strings. It is also engraved with dragon patterns, which makes it clear that it is very valuable.

Holding the zither in his hands, Lu Lin became even more certain of his thoughts.

This zither is not far from transforming into a spiritual artifact and gaining sentience.

"This zither can directly restrain cultivators who follow the path of illusion—" Lu Lin held the zither with one hand and pressed the strings with the other.

"Zheng—"

'

The music seemed to possess a power that struck the soul directly; upon hearing it, Lu Lin felt his spiritual sea become clearer.

However, just as Lu Lin was satisfied and was about to leave, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blow past his side, followed by a cold glint of light flashing past him.

Lu Lin immediately used the Wind-Seeking Cloud-Stepping Technique to dodge to the side, but even so, the cold light still grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark on his face. Drops of crimson blood dripped onto the ground, adding a unique touch to the golden floor.

"That speed—" Lu Lin immediately locked onto the person who made the move, only to see a woman appear behind him at some point. The woman was holding several bamboo leaves in her hand, and it was the bamboo leaves that had injured Lu Lin earlier.

The woman was clearly prepared; the bamboo leaves were picked from the bamboo grove near the cliffside academy.

"Give me that zither, and I'll let you go." The woman toyed with the bamboo leaf in her hand, staring at Lu Lin.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin glanced at the bamboo leaves stuck in the floor out of the corner of his eye and shook his head slightly: "Try to take it if you can. That's the rule."

The woman didn't speak, but she had already made her move.

Her martial arts skills were extremely high. Once she made a move, she disappeared from her original spot like a ghost, and when she reappeared, she was already in front of Lu Lin.

However, the other party clearly did not intend to harm Lu Lin's life, and the target was only acupoints on Lu Lin's body.

Lu Lin immediately activated the Wind-Seeking Cloud-Stepping Technique. As a top-tier movement and physical skill, Lu Lin easily dodged the woman's attack.

This immediately changed the woman's expression, and a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected that Lu Lin, a plant master, would have such advanced physical skills.

"The girl's physical skills are a bit worse than mine."

Lu Lin seized upon the woman's weakness in her movements and immediately launched a counterattack. However, the woman was clearly not to be underestimated, and for a time, she and Lu Lin fought back and forth.

In other words, both of their cultivation levels were suppressed by the restriction; otherwise, Lu Lin would not be a match for this woman.

This woman was at least at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage; Lu Lin had observed them from outside.

"What would a young lady like you, an alchemist, need this zither for? Why don't we just leave and go our separate ways?" Lu Lin wasn't afraid of her, but he also knew that this wasn't the time to get entangled, otherwise it wouldn't benefit either of them.

But the woman had no intention of discussing things with him and continued her attack, giving Lu Lin no chance whatsoever.

Lu Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and face the challenge head-on.

After all, if he failed, the zither would become the opponent's spoils of war, while he would return empty-handed.

"You forced me to do this!" Lu Lin snorted and grabbed the woman's fist as she threw it. He then unleashed his Thousand Transformations technique, transforming his arm into a dragon claw with increased power, which clamped the woman's arm tightly.

"How can you still use magic?!" A look of panic immediately appeared on the woman's face.

This wasn't magic. Lu Lin naturally wouldn't explain anything to her. After clamping her arm, he took advantage of her momentary daze and suddenly punched her in the lower abdomen.

With a loud "bang".

The woman was immediately sent flying backward, sliding along the ground for several meters before finally coming to a stop.

She struggled to get up, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her breath becoming weak. Lu Lin showed no mercy, and decisively stepped forward, knocking her unconscious with a chop to the neck.

I also searched her body and found a wooden box.

Upon opening the wooden box, it was discovered that the treasure the woman had chosen from the treasury of the cliffside academy was actually a Flowing Years Water-Clearing Pill.

This elixir is extremely expensive, costing around 1000 low-grade spirit stones. Lu Lin had only ever seen it in books.

Its main function is to help cultivators with water-elemental roots repair their Dao injuries or break through their cultivation realm.

For cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage, the effects after taking it are excellent.

Lu Lin looked at the pills in the wooden box and smiled, "Perfect, I'll take them back for my senior sister to use."
