Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Chapter 143 Gulu Car Dealership

The difficulty of Taibai Shimao was ultimately too high. Although Lu Lin had already entered the realm of it, his subsequent cultivation was still extremely difficult. He spent the entire night trying to comprehend it, but his proficiency in Taibai Shimao only increased by five points, which was better than nothing.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window, Lu Lin slowly awoke from his meditative state. He closed the secret manual in his hand and looked out the window.

After the bright red dawn, a large sun rose over the mountains; it was already the second day.

Realizing that he should probably leave, Lu Lin glanced down at the secret technique in his hand again, packed his things, jumped out of bed, and went alone to the library of the Cliff Academy, placing the copies of Taibai Shi'ang and Three-Inch Heavenly Thunder in the designated spot in the library.

After finishing all this, Lu Lin came out of the library again, passed by the cliff lake, walked through the bamboo forest of the cliff academy, and finally went out.

It was still early, and there were few people on the streets. Lu Lin looked around and finally followed the street of the Cliff Academy to the main street of Guling City. The shops on both sides of the street were already open, and servants could be seen busy running around.

Finally, Lu Lin stopped in front of a car dealership.

Gulu Car Dealership.

This car dealership appears to be quite large, with a gate that is ten feet high and wider than the gate of the Su family. If Lu Lin is not mistaken, this Gulu Car Dealership should be one of the largest car dealerships in Guling City.

"Is the young master leaving Ancient Spirit City?"

Before Lu Lin even entered the car dealership, someone came out. It was a young woman wearing a light blue dress, her hair tied up, looking quite capable.

She didn't look like a servant in a carriage shop; she looked more like a young lady from a wealthy family.

Lu Lin paused for a moment upon hearing her words, then nodded: "Yes, young lady, do you know me?"

"Young master is a rising star among the current elites, and the youngest spirit plant master in the past hundred years. How could I not know you?" the woman said with a smile, then introduced herself: "My name is He Ling, and I am the manager of the Guling City branch of the Gulu Carriage Company. We are about the same age, so you can just call me Ling'er."

He Ling wanted to get closer to Lu Lin, and she even opened up the use of affectionate nicknames like Ling'er to Lu Lin.

But Lu Lin would never call her that. Not to mention that he didn't know He Ling at all before, even if he did know her well, he couldn't call her that, lest he ruin her reputation.

"Miss He, so you're the owner of this caravan shop? My apologies for not recognizing you sooner." Lu Lin quickly returned the greeting, appropriately increasing the distance between them, and then said, "I'm leaving Guling City for Fengcheng. May I ask how the prices are calculated?"

He Ling wasn't surprised to hear Lu Lin say that, and quickly adjusted her mindset, saying, "Young Master is already a Spirit Plant Master. Traveling within our carriage company for a cumulative distance of three thousand miles is free. Moreover, Young Master doesn't need to travel by the Blazing Sun Carriage or flying sword. Our Gulu Carriage Company has specific modes of transportation. Please follow me, Young Master."

As He Ling spoke, she gestured for Lu Lin to proceed.

Lu Lin followed him inside.

He Ling led Lu Lin to the plaza inside the Gulu Carriage Company, but strangely, there was no Lieyang Carriage in the plaza. Instead, there were several spirit beasts that Lu Lin had never seen before, devouring spirit ore.

"This is the Gulu Beast, a unique travel spirit beast of our Gulu Carriage Company. It can fly, has a gentle nature, and is much faster than the Blazing Sun Carriage. Most importantly, it feeds on spirit stones and can directly absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stones and convert it into power." He Ling led Lu Lin to a Gulu Beast and introduced it with a smile.

"Gulu Beast—" Lu Lin looked at the round, roughly ten-foot-tall Gulu Beast with its wings folded, then glanced at the carriage behind it and asked curiously, "This carriage—can it fly too?"

He Ling smiled, walked to the front of the carriage, and showed Lu Lin the special patterns on the carriage: "With the Wind Riding Pattern, the carriage can fly, but the speed limit of the Wind Riding Pattern is too low, not as fast as the Gulu Beast, so it needs the Gulu Beast to pull it."

Lu Lin stepped forward to examine it closely, sensing the wind-controlling power within the patterns on the carriage, but this power was very weak. This indicated that the wind-controlling patterns on the carriage were of a low level, and it indeed could not fly very fast.

"So what's the price?" Lu Lin asked.

He Ling didn't hide anything: "The Gulu Beast costs thirteen low-grade spirit stones per hundred li, which is more expensive than a flying sword, but as I just said, sir, you are a spirit plant master, so our Gulu Carriage Company offers you three thousand li of free travel."

"Young master, you don't need to refuse this, because all masters who pass the Cliff Academy's assessment receive this special treatment. You don't need to feel guilty."

Lu Lin didn't actually feel guilty; he was just a little flattered.

He never expected that simply passing an assessment would bring him so many benefits in the cultivation world.

No wonder so many people rush to the Cliff Academy every year to take the exam. Once you pass the exam, you really become someone of high status.

"In that case, thank you very much for the special treatment from your car dealership," Lu Lin said, bowing with his hands clasped in gratitude.

"Young master, please don't be in such a hurry. I haven't said the most important thing yet," He Ling suddenly said with a smile, extending her hand to Lu Lin. "Could you please let me see your Spirit Plant Master's token?"

"Oh?" Lu Lin raised an eyebrow, took out the token directly, and didn't seem to suspect anything.

Because the Spirit Plant Master tokens issued by the Cliff Academy have restrictions, if they try to tamper with the information on the tokens, they will be considered enemies of the Cliff Academy, which is no different from digging their own graves.

After He Ling received the token, she made a hand seal with her other hand and struck the token. A pattern immediately appeared on the token. After seeing the pattern, He Ling handed the token back to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin looked down and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's this?"

"This is a mark that records how many miles you've traveled at our Gulu Car Rental," He Ling explained to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin suddenly realized what was going on and put the token away again, but at the same time he became more cautious, worried that the pattern might reveal his whereabouts.

Lu Lin even used his spiritual sense to examine the token and found that the patterns on it did not radiate power outwards, which relieved him.

He Ling knew what Lu Lin was worried about, but she didn't explain. Instead, after Lu Lin checked the token, she gestured for him to enter: "Young master, please enter the carriage. We'll be departing now."

Lu Lin was taken aback and asked curiously, "May I ask who controls the direction?"

He Ling laughed and said, "Young master, you are overthinking it. These Gulu beasts are extremely intelligent and have a very strong memory. They have already memorized the map of the ancient spirit city within a radius of ten thousand miles. Just tell them and they will fly there on their own."

After saying that, He Ling turned her head, patted the round bottom of the Gulu Beast, and said, "Take this young master to Fengcheng, and fly back on your own when you get there. Be careful on the way."

The Gulu Beast, who was eating snacks, suddenly shuddered, twisted its round body and looked behind it, memorized Lu Lin's appearance, and then nodded to He Ling.

Lu Lin was amazed when he saw this.

The world is truly full of wonders.

"Then, Miss He, I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again someday."

"Have a safe journey, young master."

He Ling nodded slightly, then said to the Gulu Beast, "Let's go."
