Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Upon arriving outside the thatched hut, Shi Jia led Lu Lin to a small pond. This pond was connected to the lake, but the surface of the water was extremely calm, making it look more like a separate swimming pool.

Several lotus flowers were blooming in the small pond, and the croaking of frogs could be heard.

"These lotus flowers were planted here last year. They are all water-attribute spiritual plants. Planting this seed here should be fine. However, if you want this seed to take root, sprout, and mature within half a month, you will definitely need to take care of it day and night. This place is not close to your residence. Whether you want to plant it here or not is up to you."

After saying that, Shi Jia returned the black seed in her hand to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin looked at the pond in front of him, then glanced down at the seeds in his hand. He estimated the distance from the pond to his home and finally made a decision: "I'll plant them here. I can always come and check on them every day."

Upon hearing Lu Lin's answer, Shi Jia spoke up to remind him:

"Remember to avoid the lake side; I'll be cultivating there, and it's not convenient for me to see anyone."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister." Lu Lin nodded repeatedly, and at the same time threw the black seed in her hand into the pool in front of her.

The black seed disappeared quickly after sinking into the pool. Lu Lin immediately released his Druid's natural senses to confirm that the black seed was still active before nodding in satisfaction.

"Then, Senior Sister, I'll come back to see you again tomorrow," Lu Lin said to Shi Jiayi.

"Mmm." Shijia nodded slightly.

Next, Lu Lin was about to leave along the mountain path in front of him.

"Where are you going?" Shi Jiayi immediately stopped him, then frowned and slapped Lu Lin on the shoulder in an annoyed tone. "It's late at night, and that's the main gate. What am I supposed to say if Master, my senior brothers, and my senior sisters see this?"

"Then how do I get there?" Lu Lin asked.

"Go back the way you came. Go through your back door." Lu Lin snorted and pointed in the direction where he had just appeared.

Lu Lin said "Oh," and went back the way he came, wading through the bushes as he left.

Shi Jia watched Lu Lin's figure disappear from her sight before turning her gaze away and returning to the thatched hut.

……

……

Following the Lingqu Canal, passing the Lingtian Field, and returning to the thatched hut, Lu Lin felt like he was dreaming. Although he hadn't shown it, now when he closed his eyes, he could still see Shi Jiayi's incredibly unrestrained demeanor.

Moreover, Shi Jia's clothes were soaked through by the lake water, revealing her flesh, which was even more stimulating than being completely naked.

Furthermore, this body is currently in the developmental stage, so even if one can control it psychologically, one cannot control it physiologically.

Finally, Lu Lin couldn't stay in the thatched hut any longer, so he went to the bamboo forest and began cultivating.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and a gentle breeze did indeed have an effect.

After calming down for an hour, past midnight, with the crescent moon overhead, Lu Lin finally returned to the thatched hut to rest.

……

……

The next day, Lu Lin tried his best to appear natural at the dinner table, while Shi Jiayi kept her eyes down and didn't look at Lu Lin. The two of them didn't exchange a single word at the dinner table.

Neither the master nor the senior brothers and sisters noticed anything amiss.

After finishing his meal, Lu Lin left first and went to the spirit field. The spirit wheat had grown taller than yesterday and would definitely sprout ears within half a month.

The cyan seed that Lu Lin planted in the spirit field last night has actually taken root, sprouted, and emerged.

"It's growing so fast?" Lu Lin looked at the emerging new shoots, activated his Druid's natural senses, and silently sensed the condition of the spiritual plant in front of him.

very healthy.

However, it was impossible to identify what kind of spiritual plant it was.

However, wood-attribute spiritual plants are the most common and the easiest to identify. Once they mature further, they should be easily identifiable.

"Let's start by stimulating the growth of this one that's easiest to cultivate." Lu Lin didn't rush to find out exactly what kind of spiritual plant it was. Instead, he sat cross-legged in front of the plant and mobilized the power of nature.

Seeing this, Guji also released the power of Jiamu to help Lu Lin.

[You have mobilized the power of nature, stimulating the growth of spiritual plants. Nature Heart experience points +6]

[As you continue this action, your experience points will continue to increase...]

Under the combined influence of the forces of nature and the power of Jia wood, the tender shoots that had just emerged from the ground were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Half an hour later.

The tender shoot, which was originally less than half an inch tall, has now grown to more than three inches. At the top of this spiritual plant, a white dot has grown, covered with downy hairs, just like a dandelion.

Lu Lin let out a long breath. He had exhausted all the spiritual energy in his body, and this attempt to induce childbirth had to end here.

Afterwards, Lu Lin took out several spirit stones and yellow talismans for Guji to help it recover its strength, and instructed it:

"Keep an eye on this spiritual field and this spiritual herb."

"Guji guji." Guji waved the vine in its hand to indicate that it understood.

Lu Lin patted Guji's head and turned to walk towards the bamboo forest.

Upon arriving at the bamboo forest, Lu Lin sat cross-legged on a rock. With a thought, he took out a flowerpot. However, the growth rate of the earth-attribute spiritual plant was obviously much slower than that of the wood-attribute spiritual plant. It didn't even sprout, let alone change.

If it weren't for the druid's natural perception that allowed him to sense the seed was still alive, Lu Lin would have doubted whether this seed could actually grow into a spiritual plant.

Lu Lin placed the flowerpot aside, letting the sun shine directly on it, and then sat cross-legged on the rock to begin his cultivation.

He took out several spirit stones, absorbed their power, and sensed the surrounding nature.

[You have merged with nature, activated the Shennong Codex, and absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stone into your body. Shennong Codex Proficiency +3, Heart of Nature Experience +3, Divine Connection Experience +3]

[As you continue performing these actions, your strength will continue to increase, and your proficiency and experience points will continue to grow...]

……

Time passed slowly, and two hours later, at noon, Lu Lin slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. Lu Lin looked inward at himself and saw that the Dao seed in his lower dantian had taken root and sprouted further, and the size of the dantian had also increased compared to before.

However, there is still a long way to go before opening the third meridian and breaking through the third level of the Qi Refining stage.

"Perhaps I can seek out my second senior brother again in the future and ask him to help me strengthen my body," Lu Lin murmured, observing his physical condition.

Although physical training is painful, it is extremely helpful for cultivation, and it can be considered a shortcut compared to cultivating in a step-by-step manner.

Then, Lu Lin turned to look at the flowerpot beside him, released his Druid's natural senses to investigate, and found that the seeds had been quietly growing over the past two hours.

Tender shoots have already sprouted on the surface of the seeds, but they have not yet broken through the soil. It seems that earth-attribute spiritual plants need to be exposed to the sun to increase their growth rate.

Lu Lin secretly memorized this characteristic, hoping it might come in handy when he went to the Cliff Academy for the Spirit Plant Master assessment in the future.

Then Lu Lin looked up at the sky again.

"Let's eat first. After we finish eating, I'll go check on Eleventh Senior Sister. I wonder how much that water-attribute seed has grown," Lu Lin murmured.
