Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

After the meal, Lu Lin left alone first, heading to the spirit field halfway up the mountain. Shen Luo followed closely behind and also went to cultivate.

The third and fourth senior sisters went to their master's study to organize the books that their master had just mentioned.

Only the master and two senior brothers remained at the dinner table.

After Lu Lin and the others had walked away, the two senior brothers turned to look at their master and asked worriedly:

"After they both go down the mountain, should we follow them? Or should we really let them go down the mountain alone to gain experience?"

The aerospace master said, "Cultivation is a personal matter. This time when they went to Peacock City, they also came into contact with the cultivation world. Next time, let them go down the mountain and figure it out on their own."

The eldest and second eldest brothers were even more worried.

On Tianhang Mountain, everyone lived in harmony and peace. But once they descended the mountain, it truly became a dog-eat-dog world, a life-or-death struggle.

The two junior brothers had only recently entered the Qi Refining stage, how could they not be worried?

But their master had already made a decision, and the two disciples could only obey.

"You two should go down and get ready too. We still need to help Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu with their physical training tonight," the aerospace instructor reminded him.

Upon hearing this, the eldest and second eldest brothers stood up, cupped their hands in farewell, and took their leave.

……

Under the blazing sun and without a cloud in the sky, Lu Lin stopped before the spirit field, squatted down, and picked up a handful of soil. The ground was already quite dry.

With a thought, Lu Lin summoned Guji.

"Gurgle gurgle."

The treants don't feel the passage of time in the summoning space, but it would be a lie to say they aren't bored.

As soon as Guji came out, it blinked its big amber eyes at Lu Lin, revealing a wronged look.

Lu Lin patted Guji's head: "Alright, alright, I won't put you into the summoning space next time."

Guji immediately beamed with joy.

Lu Lin continued, "Guji, help me plant the crops."

Guji was in a good mood and skipped and hopped towards the interior of the spirit field. Finally, it stopped in the center of the spirit field and released a large amount of Jiamu power.

Under the influence of the power of Jiamu, the spiritual wheat in the spiritual field began to grow at a visible rate.

rustling—

Upon seeing this, Lu Lin produced a folding fan in his right hand. He unfolded the fan and fanned it slightly towards the sky, causing a large number of rain clouds to gather.

Immediately afterward, a cool breeze blew, and a light drizzle fell to the ground, soaking the soil in the spirit field. Subtitles appeared in front of Lu Lin:

[You used the Cloud and Rain Spell, summoning a cloud and rain that is thirty feet long and ten feet wide. Cloud and Rain Spell Proficiency +6, Heart of Nature Experience +6]

[You used the Wind Manipulation Technique, summoning a level 5 wind. Wind Manipulation Technique Proficiency +6, Heart of Nature Experience +6]

Looking at the refreshed panel, Lu Lin let out a long breath, squatted down, picked up a handful of wet soil from the ground to check, and nodded with a satisfied smile after confirming that it had been thoroughly watered.

After mastering the Cloud and Rain Technique, the area of ​​the rain clouds he summoned instantly expanded several times over. Now, irrigating the five acres of spirit fields in front of him should be no problem at all.

Half an hour later, Guji came out of the spirit field, came in front of Lu Lin, shook his body, and shook off the rainwater that was sticking to him.

"Gurgle gurgle."

I'm hungry.

Lu Lin immediately took out a wood-attribute yellow talisman and some spirit stones to replenish Guji's stamina.

With the yellow talismans and spirit stones replenishing their strength, the man and the tree quickly regrouped and began a new round of stimulating growth. The spirit wheat in front of them grew at a visible speed, and in just one afternoon, it had grown more than two inches taller. If this continued, it would be ready to sprout ears and be harvested in a few days.

Feeling that he had made enough progress for the day, Lu Lin took some time before dinner to go to the bamboo forest and begin practicing the other secret techniques he had mastered.

The proficiency of the Wind-Seeking Cloud-Treading Step, the Three-Inch Heavenly Thunder, and the Spirit-Nourishing Platform Technique is increasing rapidly.

Perhaps it was because of his experience going down the mountain, but after coming back up this time, Lu Lin felt that he was in much better shape than before. Things that he didn't understand before, he could understand immediately.

After dinner, it was time for the physical training that Master had arranged for today.

……

It was just past midnight (亥时).

The second senior brother had already prepared the medicine. He and Lu Lin came to the thatched hut, where Lu Lin sat cross-legged in the wooden tub and waited quietly.

Lu Lin watched from inside the wooden tub as his second senior brother busied himself, taking out a large number of bottles and jars from his Qiankun bag, mixing them in a certain proportion, and then coming to the wooden tub.

The second senior brother said, "This body tempering is mainly to temper your meridians. After you've tempered them once, breaking through to the second level of the Qi Refining stage will be a natural outcome. It might hurt a bit, so bear with it, Little Six."

Having already undergone physical training once, Lu Lin was naturally prepared and nodded to his second senior brother.

The second senior brother poured the potion into the water in the wooden bucket, and a large amount of white steam immediately rose from the surface of the water. The water in the bucket instantly became scalding hot. Lu Lin gritted his teeth to keep from shouting.

The pain was less severe this time than before, probably because he had entered the first level of Qi Refining.

Next door, Shen Luo didn't scream out either.

The process of body tempering was incredibly long, and Lu Lin felt extremely tormented.

Time passed second by second, and the potion's power was finally fully absorbed by Lu Lin, leaving only a large amount of black sludge in the water, which continued to seep out a faint stench.

Lu Lin raised his hand from the wooden tub and found that his skin had become as white as mutton fat jade, and its texture was extremely tender.

"Is this... cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the essence?" Lu Lin asked his second senior brother.

While tidying up the bottles and jars on the table, the second senior brother answered Lu Lin's question: "Yes."

"If things go as expected, you should be able to break through to the second level of the Qi Refining stage within the next two days. If you don't, it means you've been slacking off, and Master will have us give you a beating. Think about it carefully." After the second senior brother finished speaking, he had already tidied up the things on the table. Before leaving, he turned back, as if he had thought of something important, and took out a large number of items from his Qiankun bag, saying to Lu Lin:

"These items were all brought down the mountain by you and Xiao Wu. Master made a sleeping robe from the fine cloth, and you can spread the quilt on your bed yourself. There are also candlesticks; you can decide where to put them."

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the items that his second senior brother had placed on the table. They were bedding, a bathrobe, and candlesticks.

After his second senior brother left, he came out of the wooden tub, went to the table, and touched the bathrobe. The texture was so much better than the clothes he had worn before.

Lu Lin draped the bathrobe over his body. The fine fabric was not only smooth and delicate, but also cool to the touch, making it very comfortable to wear.

Then he spread the bedding on the bed, lay down on it, and felt that it was soft and warm.

Things are finally getting better.

Just as Lu Lin was about to lie down on the bed to rest and fall asleep, there was a knock on the door. Lu Lin sat up and said, "Come in."

Shi Jia responded and pushed open the door.

But as soon as she entered, Shi Jia frowned slightly and complained, "Why does it smell so bad?"

Lu Lin coughed lightly: "I just had a cleansing and marrow-refining treatment."

Shi Jiayi then looked at the wooden tub inside the room, frowned, and waved her sleeve. A gentle breeze blew by, dispelling the stench in the room. At the same time, the bathwater in the tub became clear again, clearly having been purified by Shi Jiayi.

Not only that, the air inside the room also smelled nice.

"What brings you here so late, Senior Sister?" Lu Lin asked curiously, sitting on the bed.

Shi Jia stepped forward and sat on Lu Lin's bed, but kept a distance of about three feet from him.

"I've already compiled all the books you'll be reading during this time. Since you're still awake, I thought I'd bring them over so you won't forget them tomorrow." Shi Jia took out a large number of books from her Qiankun bag and placed them on the bed that Lu Lin had just made.

There were three stacks of books in total, and upon careful counting, there should be thirteen books.

Shi Jia pointed to the first stack and said to Lu Lin, "This stack contains books about the Cliff Academy and some other minor powers. I don't expect you to memorize them perfectly, but you should at least browse through them. I will check them before you go down the mountain."

"This second stack contains books about the characteristics of basic spiritual plants, as well as information about the environment in which these basic spiritual plants grow. You must memorize the contents of this book so that you won't go to the assessment without knowing anything and make a wasted trip."

"This last stack contains the least amount of information about the more famous techniques and disciples in the cultivation world. The nearest branch of the Cliff Academy to our Tianhang Mountain is 500 miles away. You have only just entered the Qi Refining stage. Just this round trip will take at least half a month. Along the way, you will inevitably encounter some so-called young masters and noblemen."

I'm not asking you to memorize all of this, but you should at least know some of it to avoid being put on the defensive or being ambushed by them without knowing how to counter it.

After listening to Shi Jiayi's words, Lu Lin felt that he needed to use his brain.

But it's not over yet.

Shi Jia opened his right hand again, and several more blue-covered books appeared in his palm.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Lu Lin's eyes.

Poetry and Jia Yidao:

"These books record hundreds of unorthodox methods commonly found in the cultivation world, including the use of poison, assassination, poisoning, and the practice of absorbing the essence of the body."

Lu Lin was startled: "I have to learn all of this?"

Shi Jia shook her head: "Of course, I'm not asking you to learn it, but to know how to guard against these methods. In this cultivation world, there are many self-proclaimed geniuses who disdain these unorthodox methods, but when they encounter them, they are helpless against these cultivators. Isn't that laughable?"

We, the disciples of Tianhang Mountain, must never become like the latter.
