Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

The two were currently in the southeast of Tianhang Mountain, while Tianhang Mountain Village was in the northeast. Their idea of ​​going back to the village to freeload was not going to work, so after resting for a while, they continued their journey southeast.

Fortunately, the southeast is a forest, so even if we can't catch prey, we can at least dig up some wild vegetables to eat.

Lu Lin and Shen Luo grew up in Tianhang Mountain Village, nestled against the mountains. They hunted wild animals frequently when they were young, and now that they have reached the first level of Qi Refining, hunting is even easier for them.

Within a quarter of an hour of entering the woods, Lu Lin and Shen Luo caught two wild rabbits.

Shen Luo's fire control technique has reached a high level of perfection. If Lu Lin is not mistaken, he is not far from mastering it.

"Crack, crack—"

The fire blazed up, the firewood crackled in the flames, and Lu Lin and Shen Luo sat by the fire, enjoying a delicious roasting of meat.

During their time on Tianhang Mountain, Shen Luo's cooking skills improved rapidly, and the roasted rabbit meat tasted extremely good. Afterwards, the two found bamboo in the forest and drank some water through bamboo tubes.

They managed to have a satisfying meal for their first meal after descending the mountain.

"That won't do. We're still in the forest, hunting and eating are no problem, but what if we get to Peacock City?" Shen Luo said worriedly, picking his teeth with a piece of thin bamboo in his hand.

You need money to go anywhere in this world.

Now the two of them have neither silver nor spirit stones. If they leave this forest and there is no prey for them to eat, they will really starve to death.

Does this mean we should hunt more animals in advance and store them in our storage bags?

"We can't hunt too much either. There are springs and game in this forest, and there might be hunters' villages nearby. We hunt only to fill our stomachs temporarily, but they hunt for a year's livelihood. We can't cut off their livelihood."

In Shen Luo's view, now that he has become a celestial master, he naturally cannot cut off the livelihood of mortal villages for the sake of temporary needs.

Lu Lin was slightly taken aback after hearing Shen Luo's words, not expecting that Shen Luo was actually concerned about this.

He smiled and took out a stack of yellow talismans from his storage bag: "Don't worry about that. Once we get to Peacock City, we can sell these talismans and get spirit stones, right?"

Shen Luo was taken aback and quickly took the stack of yellow talismans in his hand to examine them carefully. He asked in surprise, "When did you learn how to make talismans?"

"Among the opportunities I gained to acquire the transformation technique, there was a method for making this thing. However, it's not about making talismans; it's just storing power in yellow paper," Lu Lin casually made up an origin story for Shen Luo.

Shen Luo thought that Lu Lin's transformation technique was so exquisite that it was reasonable for him to be able to make these yellow talismans, so she believed it.

"However, with our cultivation levels so low, if we go to Peacock City and take these things out, we'll definitely attract attention. So we can only trade with cultivators weaker than us. And we can't leave any loose ends," Lu Lin said.

Shen Luo nodded slightly and returned the yellow talisman to Lu Lin: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off now."

"Walk!"

This place seems to be the very edge of the cultivation world.

The two walked through the forest and crossed two mountains without encountering a single cultivator. Instead, they met a few mortals, but neither Lu Lin nor Shen Luo chose to show themselves or disturb them.

Lu Lin and Shen Luo stood on the hilltop and looked down, only to see Peacock City right in front of them.

Shen Luo supported himself on his knees, panting heavily, while Lu Lin was sweating profusely, but didn't seem to have exerted much energy.

This is the advantage of the Wood Spirit Root.

Lu Lin looked up at the sky. The sun was directly overhead, so it must be around midday.

"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore." Shen Luo suddenly grabbed Lu Lin's shoulders. "I'm starving to death."

Fire elemental roots are all about bursts of energy, but they are less durable. Plus, traveling under such a blazing sun, Shen Luo's body naturally couldn't withstand the strain.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin took out a yellow talisman with the wood attribute from his Qiankun bag and stuck it on Shen Luo's body.

Shen Luo quickly regained some of his strength.

Shen Luo exclaimed in amazement and immediately asked Lu Lin for more.

After Shen Luo regained some strength, the two of them headed towards Peacock City along the hillside.

As they approached the gates of Peacock City, the two finally encountered their first "outsider" on this training journey.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait."

Lu Lin and Shen Luo were unfamiliar with the place and didn't dare to be overly familiar with each other. They noticed the person approaching but deliberately ignored it.

But the young man took the initiative to step forward, greeting her with a smile, seemingly without any ill intentions:

"Fellow Daoists, why don't we enter Peacock City together?"

Lu Lin and Shen Luo exchanged a glance.

Shen Luo stepped forward and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is your name? What brings you into Peacock City?"

The young man was dressed in a simple blue linen robe, with a bamboo flute at his waist, making him look like a scholar.

After hearing Shen Luo's question, he quickly replied, "I am a free man named Song Changning. You may not know this, but there is a martial arts competition in Peacock City today, and I have come to participate. However, I am troubled by having no one to accompany me when I entered the city, so I took the initiative to seek out you two fellow Daoists."

As he answered, Song Changning's gaze subtly swept over the three characters "Tianhang Mountain" on the chest of the two men's clothes.

Lu Lin and Shen Luo's expressions changed simultaneously upon hearing the words "martial arts competition and discussion," and they immediately became interested.

Wouldn't a martial arts contest be the perfect opportunity for them to figure out their own strength and position?

However, neither of them showed any interest. Lu Lin coughed lightly and said, "I see. But let's not travel together. Luo Luo, let's go into the city first."

Seeing the two turn around, Song Changning frowned slightly, but after thinking it over, she followed them step by step.

Peacock City is not a large city, but there are quite a few cultivators coming and going around it. Moreover, many of these cultivators wear black robes or veils, as if they do not want to show their true faces.

Lu Lin and Shen Luo's demeanor was inconspicuous in the crowd.

However, the clothes they wore constantly attracted the attention of others.

He was dressed in a disciple's long robe.

That indicates that there is a master or sect behind them.

If one has a master or sect, then one is not a rogue cultivator.

Since they are not rogue cultivators and their cultivation levels are not high, it means that these two are likely only slightly wealthier than rogue cultivators.

If someone is only richer than a rogue cultivator, then that person becomes the rogue cultivator's "prey".

In the cultivation world, it's a pyramid where cultivators always oppress those at the bottom, covet those at the same level, and then plan to hunt down the person at the level closest to them.

But Lu Lin and Shen Luo were completely unaware of this, feeling like monkeys being watched, their confusion overflowing.

"No, Linzi, why are they always staring at us?" Shen Luo finally couldn't help but ask Lu Lin.

Lu Lin glanced at the gazes of these people, and finally looked at the three characters "Tianhang Mountain" on his chest, guessing, "It must be because of the clothes we're wearing."

"Let's go change our clothes first before we come out," Lu Lin said to Shen Luo, his eyes flashing.

Since the situation is unclear right now, and regardless of whether these people have good intentions or bad intentions, it's best to remove any eye-catching items from your person to avoid attracting trouble.

Lu Lin and Shen Luo found a secluded corner and quickly took off their clothes, changing into ordinary linen shirts.

When I came out again, those strange looks were indeed gone.

When his suspicions were confirmed, Lu Lin felt even heavier.

Lu Lin suddenly felt that he and Shen Luo were like two sheep jumping into a pack of wolves.
