Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Chapter 149 A Twist of Fate

Lu Lin sealed his spiritual consciousness and was led by Shi Jia to the waterfall. Shi Jia said, "The medicinal power of the Water-Clearing Elixir does not conflict with your Wood Spirit Root power. It will be beneficial to your injuries after you absorb it. I will take you to the rock under the waterfall later. Don't resist, understand?"

Lu Lin shut down his senses. Although he could speak, he had no hearing. He was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Shi Jiayi had stopped. Shi Jiayi was helpless when she saw Lu Lin like this. Finally, she took Lu Lin's hand and jumped down to the rocks below the waterfall.

Lu Lin still had a sense of touch, and immediately felt water hitting his body, soaking his clothes. Then, Shi Jia patted Lu Lin's shoulder and made him sit cross-legged on the rock.

After Lu Lin sat down cross-legged, Shi Jiayi released Lu Lin's hand, then took off her clothes and sat naked opposite Lu Lin.

Soon, Lu Lin felt his hands being held by Shi Jiayi, and at the same time, a cool sensation flowed into his meridians through his palms.

At this moment, Shi Jiayi also noticed the bracelet on Lu Lin's wrist and the vines wrapped around his arm.

After a moment of silence, he waved his hand.

Xiao Hei immediately reverted to its original form and was taken to the shore by Shi Jia. Gu Ji also transformed into a tree-man and jumped onto a tree on the shore.

"Spirit pets and elves?" Shi Jia glanced at the two little ones, her tone somewhat surprised, but she quickly turned away, no longer caring, and said, "You two leave from here from the back. I'll send your master back later."

Guji and Xiaohei turned their heads to look, blinked when they heard this, and then walked away together.

After the two children left, Shijia opened her palm, took out the Water-Dispelling Elixir from the wooden box, tilted her head back and swallowed it whole. The medicinal power of the Water-Dispelling Elixir condensed in her lower dantian, and then the power flowed to her limbs and bones like water.

Feeling the medicinal power, Shi Jia looked at Lu Lin opposite her, waved her hand, and restored Lu Lin's hearing. She said softly, "This time, I will take the lead in the dual cultivation. You will assist me. Do not overstep your bounds."

"Understood, understood." Lu Lin responded to Shi Jiayi immediately as he felt his hearing return.

The next moment, their palms touched, making direct contact.

Perhaps it was the medicine taking effect, but at that moment, Shi Jiayi actually felt that the bottleneck in her Foundation Establishment stage, which had been restricting her for many years, was loosening slightly.

Feeling the warmth emanating from his palm, Shi Jiayi's pupils trembled, and a hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes as she stared at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin noticed that Shi Jiayi hadn't made any move yet, so he said, "Senior Sister, you should hurry up and refine the medicinal power of the elixir. There's only one of these elixirs, so don't waste it."

"Okay." Shi Jia nodded slightly before starting to circulate her energy, using Lu Lin's power to digest the power of the Water-Clearing Elixir.

But unlike the warmth that Shi Jiayi felt, Lu Lin felt more of a chill, which made Lu Lin a little worried. He didn't understand why Shi Jiayi had so much Yin cold power in her body. Even a body with Yin water attribute would not be able to withstand it, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Lin mobilized the pure Yang energy within his body to fully heat up the energy that had passed through him before injecting it into Shi Jiayi's body through his palm.

Shi Jia immediately noticed the change, but her slightly furrowed brows relaxed subconsciously at this moment. For a brief instant, she seemed to see a Foundation Establishment cultivator beckoning to her.

Could today be the opportunity for her to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?

The thought flashed through Shi Jiayi's mind. Recalling all the efforts she had made to achieve Foundation Establishment, a resolute look appeared on Shi Jiayi's face, and she silently accelerated her cultivation speed.

Lu Lin frowned slightly. He couldn't keep up with this cultivation speed. The consequence of not being able to keep up was that the power in his body would be absorbed by Shi Jiayi, while he would not be able to absorb the same amount of power from Shi Jiayi in the same amount of time.

In this back-and-forth, Lu Lin's spiritual energy will eventually be completely drained by Shi Jia.

This is not dual cultivation; it's sexual exploitation.

Lu Lin frowned slightly, and with a thought, the dragon scales on his eyes fell off. The power that had sealed his spiritual consciousness disappeared, and he opened his eyes, but not to take advantage of Shi Jiayi, but to ascertain Shi Jiayi's attitude.

But when he opened his eyes, he found that Shi Jiayi had her eyes tightly closed and was already immersed in the rhythm of cultivation. She didn't even notice when he removed the dragon scales from her eyes.

"It wasn't intentional—but why the rush?" Lu Lin stared at Shi Jiayi's face: Was it because she hadn't been able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage for too long?

Lu Lin felt his Qi Sea being drained little by little. He glanced at Shi Jiayi, who was eager to break through her cultivation, and hesitated for a moment before deciding not to interrupt his cultivation at this moment.

At this moment, Shi Jia was completely absorbed in her dream of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and did not pay any attention to the fact that she was constantly absorbing the power from Lu Lin's body. Under the medicinal power of the Water-Clearing Elixir, the aura on Shi Jia's body became increasingly profound, and it was clear that she was not far from the Foundation Establishment stage.

Time passed second by second.

Lu Lin's Qi Sea was completely dried up, and the medicinal power of the Water-Clearing Elixir had been exhausted, but Shi Jiayi still couldn't break through the bottleneck. That feeling of weakness immediately enveloped her, and her face turned dull. Only then did she reluctantly end this dual cultivation session.

But when she opened her eyes, what she saw was Lu Lin, whose face was deathly pale and whose breath was already swaying precariously.

"Junior brother!"

Shi Jia was shocked and immediately stepped forward to hug Lu Lin. She used her spiritual power to check on him and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Lu Lin was not in any danger. At the same time, she realized what she had just done and felt guilty.

She had never thought Lu Lin could help her, but now she had completely drained the spiritual energy from Lu Lin's body.

Shi Jia dragged Lu Lin back to the shore before she finally got dressed.

Given Lu Lin's condition, Shi Jiayi dared not let him sleep alone. So she carried Lu Lin on her back and placed him on her bed. Looking at Lu Lin's pale face, Shi Jiayi searched through her Qiankun bag and finally found some yang-tonifying items, which she began to refine with the power of water.

She infused the refined power into the white water, then let Lu Lin lean against her chest and fed it to her little by little. She only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lu Lin's complexion improve.

Fortunately, the medicinal power of the Water-Dispelling Elixir was exhausted, which pulled her out of her cultivation state, thus preventing any impact on Lu Lin's essence. Otherwise, if she had continued cultivating like this, Lu Lin would have become her cultivation resource.

And this time.

Shi Jia suddenly sensed two presences outside the door. She looked towards the door and saw Gu Ji and Xiao Hei, the two little ones, staring at her with their big eyes.

Whether it's Guji or Xiao Hei, they are all spiritual beings with sentience. Shi Jiayi can see the naked hostility in their eyes.

They clearly knew what Shi Jiayi had just done.

Lu Lin's life was in danger, so it's normal for his contracted beast to feel something.

"Gurgle gurgle."

Guji jumped onto the bed and poured its own Jiamu power into Lu Lin's body, while Xiao Hei also carefully walked in.

Shi Jia gently placed Lu Linping on the bed, then sat down in a chair in the room.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei and Gu Ji immediately and instinctively stood between Lu Lin and Shi Jia, clearly protecting Lu Lin and keeping an eye on Shi Jia.
