Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Chapter 148 There's Still a Long Way to Go

When it was noon, Shi Jia realized that she couldn't help Lu Lin even if she stayed in the bamboo forest, so she returned to her residence after lunch. As for Lu Lin, he took advantage of Shi Jia's absence to find his master alone.

Seeing that Lu Lin had returned after finishing his meal, the master couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you encounter some trouble during your cultivation that you couldn't resolve on your own?"

Lu Lin shook his head: "It's not that I've encountered trouble in my cultivation, but rather that my fourth senior sister has run into trouble. She asked me to help her cultivate, but I know very little about her situation, not even what path she's on. How can I help her?"

The master suddenly realized, seemingly never expecting Shi Jiayi to seek help from Lu Lin. However, he patiently explained to Lu Lin the path Shi Jiayi cultivated: "Your senior sister follows the Water Path. As the name suggests, this path relies on comprehending the water element. Little Six, you've read quite a few books; you should know that the Water Path is not an ordinary water path, right?"

"Disciple understands. The Water Path is merely a superficial manipulation of water power, while the Water Aspect Path cultivates the Great Law of Water. It's only a one-word difference, but the upper limits are vastly different," Lu Lin replied after stroking his chin and thinking for a moment.

The master looked satisfied: "That's right, exactly."

Water is inherently non-competitive and beneficial to all things, but your senior sister has been unable to establish her Daoist practice space and achieve Foundation Establishment because she hasn't grasped this true meaning.

Lu Lin understood what this meant.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. May I choose a few books to read in your study?"

The master nodded slightly: "You may open any of the books in the study, but remember not to be greedy. Too much of a good thing is hard to digest and can easily cause you to choke."

Lu Lin chuckled: "Don't worry, Master, I'll only take two or three books. There won't be any problem."

After saying that, he jogged into his master's study.

Master's study was very large. This was Lu Lin's first time entering. After entering the study, Lu Lin couldn't wait to look around. He found that there were at least twenty bookshelves. But strangely, the bookshelves in the study did not contain secret techniques and cultivation methods. Instead, they contained more theories, such as the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, the growth and decline of natural objects, and even some methods of fortune and feng shui.

Lu Lin glanced at these books and skipped over them. It wasn't that he thought the books were useless, but rather that he felt that with his current abilities, he might not be able to understand them even if he read them.

Finally, Lu Lin found the book he wanted on the bookshelf.

"The Way of Water Forms - The Theory of Water Flow - and the Theory of Forms." Lu Lin held these three books in his hands. Judging from their condition, they must have been read many times. It seems that his master had put in a lot of effort to help Shi Jia break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After receiving the three books, Lu Lin bid farewell to his master and returned to the bamboo forest to read them diligently.

With the blessing of the Heart of Nature and the ability to enter the realm of the divine, Lu Lin's learning ability has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. In this half day, although he did not finish reading the three books, he has gained a brand-new understanding of the Water Path and the Water Flow Theory.

A panel kept refreshing in front of Lu Lin's eyes.

But he didn't pay attention, his mind was entirely focused on the book in his hands.

Night fell before he finally broke free from the sea of ​​books and closed them.

"The way of water is actually to imagine yourself as water, the source of all things—water benefits all things, so you must have an open mind." Lu Lin summarized the theoretical knowledge he had learned from the book in his mind, and then jumped off the rock to have dinner.

Everyone is here.

Lu Lin sat down next to Shen Luo, who was currently sporting a huge pig's head and looked miserable, even struggling to eat properly.

Seeing this, Lu Lin asked in a low voice, "Is Third Senior Sister really that ruthless?"

Shen Luo responded softly, but her words were unclear, and Lu Lin only caught the gist: "She's just blatantly seeking revenge!"

Oh?

The third senior sister happened to be looking this way and said in a calm voice, "Your fifth senior brother offended three forces and six women during his training trip down the mountain. Although his strength has reached a certain level, he has lost his character. He deserved to be beaten. What, do you sympathize with him?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin quickly moved to sit down to the side.

Shen Luo looked at him and cursed inwardly, "That's underhanded!"

Everyone else could sense the subtle atmosphere at the dinner table, but they all smiled inwardly.

The master then said, "Let's eat."

With the master's words, everyone began to eat, and the food on the table was cleared away in a short while.

"Little Six, starting tomorrow, you'll be back to managing the spirit fields. Is that alright?" Master said, seizing the opportunity.

"Okay." Lu Lin nodded.

"If there's nothing else, you may all leave." The master was the first to stand up.

Lu Lin and his fellow students followed closely behind, bowing and taking their leave.

However, Lu Lin followed Shi Jiayi to her residence.

The eldest and second eldest brothers didn't say anything when they saw this, but the third eldest sister frowned slightly. She felt that it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together on such a dark and windy night. She even seemed to want to stop Lu Lin, but was ultimately stopped by the eldest brother.

With her senior brother blocking her way, she couldn't say anything more and could only back down.

After stepping onto the path, Lu Lin followed behind Shi Jiayi. Seeing that there was no one else around, he spoke up, "Senior Sister, today I asked Master about your cultivation path, and Master told me."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia paused in her tracks and retorted, "Didn't I tell you not to be curious?"

Lu Lin had anticipated Shi Jia's reaction and was prepared: "I know that Senior Sister doesn't quite trust me and doesn't think I can really help you cultivate, so I made preparations in advance."

Shi Jia frowned slightly.

Then, Lu Lin took out a dragon scale, which transformed into an eye patch in his hand and was placed over his eyes, blocking all of his vision.

"I obtained this dragon scale from the bottom of the cliff lake at the Cliff Academy. It contains the might of a dragon. After it is turned into an eye mask, it can not only block my vision, but also shield my spiritual sense and senses. In that case, Senior Sister can rest assured, right?"

With his spiritual senses and senses blocked, Lu Lin would be a cultivator with cultivation but no real threat. Not to mention Shi Jiayi, even a Qi Refining Stage 3 cultivator could injure him.

When Shi Jia saw Lu Lin do this, she remained silent for a moment before taking Lu Lin's hand and explaining, "You are my junior brother, and I believe you won't hurt me, but—I have some secrets that I find hard to tell. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will tell you."

What I just said wasn't because I blamed you; it was my own fault.

Lu Lin touched Shi Jiayi's hand and smiled gently: "It's alright, it's alright. I've only known you for less than three months, senior sister. We have a long time to get to know each other. We can talk about other things later."
