Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Sparks flew as Lu Lin threw out more than a dozen fire-attribute yellow talismans. The power of the talismans increased dramatically after being stacked, and they exploded precisely in Song Changning's chest.

They burned all of Song Changning's clothes on her chest, revealing a layer of charred skin with red cracks.

Song Changning's aura instantly weakened, affecting the surrounding cultivators who were forced to retreat, creating a vacuum.

Song Changning was stunned by the explosion. He looked down blankly and saw a large amount of bright red blood flowing from the wound. He tried to use his spiritual power to repair it, but found that he couldn't repair it at all. The residual power on the wound was not something he could clean up in a short time.

"run!"

With only one thought in his mind, Song Changning was about to rush out of the crowd.

But since Lu Lin had already made his move, how could he give him a chance to escape? With a thought, another yellow talisman appeared in his hand.

He threw the yellow talisman at Song Changning's feet, and the ground beneath Song Changning's feet became sticky, swallowing his calf into the ground.

The effect of the earth-attribute yellow talisman is to control the soil and make it soft.

Song Changning turned his head in surprise, only to see several more yellow talismans coming at him and sticking to his head.

"..."

"burst!"

Lu Lin formed a hand seal and gave a deep shout.

The yellow talisman affixed to Song Changning's head lit up with a red light and then exploded violently.

There was a loud 'bang'.

Blood and brain matter exploded together, the stench of blood spreading, causing stomach acid to churn and constant dry heaving.

After killing the man, Lu Lin was excited, but unlike Shen Luo, he did not stand still. Instead, he quickly stepped forward and took the bamboo flute from Song Changning's waist and the bundle on his body.

After doing all this, Lu Lin summoned a few more yellow talismans and threw them on the ground, letting the earth devour Song Changning's corpse completely, leaving not even a trace of blood.

After doing all this, Lu Lin turned back to look at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo also came to his senses at this moment, and like Lu Lin, he took everything of value that the man in front of him might have, including the two chains wrapped around the man's hands. Then he jumped off the stage and left with Lu Lin through the crowd.

The actions of the two have been remembered by everyone. Among the crowd, a short figure looked in the direction where Lu Lin and Shen Luo left, stroking his stubble-covered chin thoughtfully.

This matter is a mixed bag.

The good thing is that it has become more famous.

The downside is that it makes you an easy target for others.

The two finally understood why their senior brother dressed in a way that concealed his identity; he felt unsafe going out without wearing a black robe.

When Lu Lin and Shen Luo reappeared, they were fully armed and dressed in black robes.

"We've barely solved two of the three problems, and there are still two left to solve." Lu Lin and Shen Luo squatted in a secluded corner, exchanging whispers.

"Among those of the same realm, our strength should not be weak, and we have also killed two people." Lu Lin said, taking out a package he had taken from Song Changning.

This is just an ordinary package, not a magic bag.

The package contained five low-grade spirit stones and some loose silver, which should be around ten taels, as well as a secret technique called Heavenly Bamboo Illusionary Sound, which should be an illusion technique.

Seeing this, Shen Luo also took out the man's package. The man was a bit poor, with only three low-grade spirit stones and no silver coins, as well as a boxing manual. Upon taking it out, it turned out to be the Hammer Mountain Fist that the man had mentioned, but it was incomplete, with only the first part.

The two divided the spirit stones equally. As for the two secret techniques, they planned to try cultivating them to see if they were useful.

As for the bamboo flute and the two silver chains, the two decided to sell them.

"These bamboo flutes and chains still have some spiritual energy left, but they're not even as good as our weapons. They probably won't sell for many spirit stones."

Having discussed this, the two had made a preliminary estimate of the value of the items in their hands.

It seems the cultivators at the foot of the mountain aren't as powerful or wealthy as I imagined.

"Coo coo coo—"

However, at that moment, Shen Luo's stomach suddenly growled. The fire spirit root was very powerful when it exerted its strength, but it also consumed a great deal of energy. The attack just now had already depleted all the nutrients in Shen Luo's stomach.

"Let's go, now that we have some money, we should be able to afford a good meal." Lu Lin was also hungry and said, "We can also take a look at what kind of inns are available in Peacock City and how much they cost. This should also be considered part of the power structure within Peacock City."

The two hit it off immediately and, dressed in black robes, went out onto the street.

For every ten people walking down the street, you could see three or four monks dressed in black robes, but their attire didn't attract anyone's attention.

"Peacock Restaurant".

The two walked for half an hour, finding many inns and street stalls and taverns, but the largest one should be the Peacock Restaurant in front of them.

A huge plaque starts from the sixth floor of the attic and hangs down to the second floor of the restaurant. The four characters of "Peacock Restaurant" are as big as the height of a floor.

Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, looking up, the atmosphere was truly magnificent.

But the two did not go inside.

Because we can't afford it.

Standing outside the door and looking through the gate, you can see the prices of the food engraved on the wall, often starting at one spirit stone or a hundred taels of silver. It's just a mystery what ingredients are used to cook the dishes.

Lu Lin took out a small notebook from his Qiankun bag and wrote it down word by word:

The largest restaurant in Peacock City is Peacock Restaurant (expensive).

I need to show this training log to my senior brother when I get back.

"Hovering Tavern, it's cheap here, let's eat here." Shen Luo waited for Lu Lin to finish writing, then pointed to a small tavern not far from the Peacock Restaurant.

The two went inside together.

There weren't many people in the tavern, mostly independent cultivators. After much deliberation, Lu Lin and Shen Luo decided to spend a lot of money to book a private room on the second floor of the tavern.

The tavern waiter had no objections. After giving the two people number tags, he led them up to the attic and into the lower-class private room, number B.

The two carefully ordered some inexpensive food and drinks, then dismissed the waiter.

After the servant left, Lu Lin and Shen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later.

Only after the waiter finished serving the dishes and left the private room did the two of them dare to take off their black robes.

They thought that since they were being so careful, no one would realize that the two of them were the mountain disciples who had just shown off their skills around the arena.

Unexpectedly, in the short time it took to look down and then up, an old man appeared in their line of sight.

"..."

Lu Lin and Shen Luo stood up at the same time and looked at each other.

Lu Lin subconsciously used his druid's natural senses to investigate. The old man's aura wasn't particularly dangerous, but it was definitely not something the two of them could handle at their current level.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin spoke to Shen Luo with his eyes:

"Don't worry, he probably means no harm. Otherwise, he would have attacked us directly instead of sitting across from us."

After calming Shen Luo down, Lu Lin bowed to the old man before him and asked, "What is the meaning of this, senior?"

"I need to discuss something with you." The old man looked up, chuckled, revealing two large yellow teeth, and added, "I'd also like to freeload a meal."
