Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

They couldn't eat before drawing in Qi, so Lu Lin and Shen Luo didn't eat breakfast today. After receiving the storage bag, they were taken away by their senior and second senior brothers respectively.

Lu Lin followed behind his second senior brother and asked curiously:

"Senior brother, it seems there are still some acupoints in my body that haven't been opened. Can I still draw in Qi?"

The second senior brother waved his hand without turning his head when he heard this: "It's alright, it's alright. The 365 acupoints in the human body form a great cycle. The further you go, the easier it is to open. I'll use my spiritual power to help you later. Besides, you were beaten so badly yesterday, you must have gained a lot. Even if those acupoints haven't opened, they must have loosened up."

Lu Lin felt relieved after hearing what his second senior brother said, but he was still a little embarrassed when he mentioned that he had been beaten up yesterday.

The second senior brother continued, "Actually, both of you have good aptitude, and among cultivators of the same age, you are already very outstanding, except for starting a little later."

As they were talking, the second senior brother had already led Lu Lin to the bamboo forest, where he sat cross-legged on the rock on the left.

Seeing this, Lu Lin followed closely behind to the rock on the right.

The two sat facing each other. The second senior brother was in no hurry to give the spirit-connecting wood to Lu Lin. Instead, he stretched out his hand to Lu Lin and said, "Come on, sixth junior brother, put your hand in front of mine and I'll help you clear your meridians."

Lu Lin obediently did as instructed. His second senior brother's hands were chubby and warm to the touch. Whether it was his imagination or not, as soon as he touched his second senior brother's palm, Lu Lin felt that his internal energy flowed more smoothly.

The second senior brother said, "It might hurt a little later, junior brother, so you should be prepared."

Lu Lin took a deep breath and nodded seriously to his second senior brother: "Senior brother, please go ahead."

The second senior brother nodded slightly and, without any hesitation, immediately activated his spiritual power, using his palms as anchor points to inject it into Lu Lin's meridians.

Lu Lin immediately felt a bloating sensation, like choking on food. But as the bloating subsided, it was replaced by an indescribable soreness, which eventually turned into a tearing pain.

Lu Lin immediately widened his eyes and tried to pull his hand back, but then he realized that his hand seemed to be stuck to his senior brother's hand and he couldn't separate them at all.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back and clothes. Half an hour later, this "torture" finally ended. At the same time, Lu Lin could feel a real energy rising and falling within his body, circulating for a full cycle.

The second senior brother let go, knowing that Lu Lin was in a lot of pain, and laughed loudly, "This is the result of training by your other senior brothers and sisters. Otherwise, if we had directly opened your meridians, it would have hurt several times more than this. There would also have been a risk of tearing your meridians."

"Junior brother, you must remember this in your future cultivation: the meridians are the foundation of a person and the path to refining Qi. If the meridians are damaged, you will have no hope of establishing your foundation in this lifetime. Therefore, you must protect your meridians when you are out and about."

"Hmm." Lu Lin, who had just recovered from the excruciating pain, responded weakly to his second senior brother's words.

"Then, senior brother, how do we open up the Qi Sea?" Lu Lin asked.

"The opening of the Qi Sea lies in absorbing Qi, which means inhaling spiritual Qi, circulating it through the acupoints in the body for a full cycle, and finally storing this Qi in the lower Dantian. When your Qi Sea can condense Qi into liquid, it becomes Qi Refining." The second senior brother said, taking out the wooden box given to him by the aerospace master and opening it.

Inside the mahogany box, on a snow-white cushion, lay a piece of wood, emanating a large amount of life force. With just a simple breath, Lu Lin felt no pain.

"This!" Lu Lin was taken aback.

"This is the root of the Spirit Tree, whose power is said to reach the highest heavens and descend to the deepest hells, making it feared by gods and ghosts. I obtained this by chance on the other side of the mountain... and it can help you open your Qi Sea." The second senior brother almost revealed the secret of this thing and quickly changed his words.

"Spirit Wood..." Lu Lin asked, "Then why doesn't Senior Brother use it to improve his cultivation?"

The second senior brother said, "The spirit wood belongs to the wood element, while your senior brother me has the earth element. You should understand the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint among the five elements, right? This treasure is good, but it is not suitable for me. Moreover, I have long passed this stage and have no need for it."

The second senior brother took out the spirit wood and placed it opposite Lu Lin, saying, "The power of this spirit wood will spontaneously draw closer to your spiritual root. You don't even need to mobilize it; it can gather in your lower dantian and condense into liquid. Moreover, it can help strengthen your spiritual root aptitude and pave the way for your foundation building in advance."

In short, that's it.

With this spirit wood, Lu Lin only needs to take a breath to immediately enter the Qi Refining stage.

Lu Lin smiled.

That's right, this is the kind of treatment a peerless genius should receive. Everything falls into place naturally, without even a care in the world.

But just as Lu Lin decided to absorb the power of the Spirit Tree, he suddenly asked, "May I ask, senior brother, if I successfully cultivate the Spirit Tree, wouldn't I have an inexhaustible supply of this power?"

"?"

The second senior brother paused abruptly, looking at Lu Lin with some astonishment: "Junior brother, do you know that this Spirit Tree is a primordial tree, a culmination of the universe's essence? How could it possibly be planted by human hands? Even if this section is cut from the root of the Spirit Tree, it is by no means an easy task to make it grow."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Lu Lin chuckled.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped off the rock and planted the section of the spirit tree root in the ground.

The second senior brother's heart skipped a beat, but he saw Lu Lin sit cross-legged on the spot, close his eyes, and then the natural power between heaven and earth began to gather in this direction.

The second senior brother was terrified and fell straight off the rock:

"Such a large-scale mobilization?! My goodness, Sixth Brother, you're something else!"

Having said that, he didn't dare disturb Lu Lin and ran off into the bamboo forest, shouting as he went:

"Master, Master, this is incredible! Sixth Brother is incredible! A second Spirit Tree is about to appear in the world!"

Lu Lin had his eyes closed, focusing entirely on mobilizing the power of nature, and naturally didn't pay attention to what his second senior brother was saying.

Under his urging, the spirit tree began to take deep root in the ground, and the power of nature surged into it wildly.

It's clear that this root of the Spirit Tree was obtained with great effort by the Second Senior Brother, and it's of extremely high quality. If Lu Lin's guess is correct, it might even be a part of the main root.

After Lu Lin activated this spiritual wood with the power of nature, it began to absorb the power of nature on its own.

The bare rootstock, which was originally only the size of an adult's forearm, has now sprouted new shoots and grown more than an inch taller.

At the same time, Lu Lin's interface also refreshed:

The second senior brother arrived at this time with their master and Lu Lin's two senior sisters. They were all utterly astonished when they saw the spirit tree sprouting tender buds:

"Little Six...did you manage to bring the spirit tree to life?"
