Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

After the meal, Lu Lin didn't leave in a hurry, but instead observed Shi Jiayi, preparing to find a suitable opportunity to bring up the matter.

Shi Jia noticed Lu Lin's gaze. After finishing her meal, she put down her bowl and chopsticks on the table, stood up, and said to Lu Lin, "Come with me."

The senior brothers and sisters at the dinner table and their master didn't say anything, assuming that Shi Jiayi was going to teach Lu Lin cultivation, and didn't think at all that Shi Jiayi was going to take Lu Lin to his residence.

Once out of sight of others, Shi Jia pointed out a direction to Lu Lin and said, "If you follow that way, you'll reach my place. I won't go with you."

Lu Lin looked in the direction Shi Jiayi pointed and saw a narrow path. If Shi Jiayi hadn't told him, he would have had a hard time discovering that there was another path there.

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Lu Lin said gratefully and jogged away along the path.

Flowers bloomed on both sides of the path, and a faint fragrance filled the air. After walking about ten steps, the sound of flowing water could be heard.

A few steps further, the pattering sound of the water turned into the roar of a waterfall, and Lu Lin quickened his pace as he arrived at the waterfall.

Following his memory of yesterday, Lu Lin quickly found the place where he had planted the seeds the night before.

Looking at the calm surface of the pool, Lu Lin closed his eyes and released his Druid's natural perception. He clearly sensed the black seed in the pool. Unexpectedly, the growth rate of the water-attribute spiritual plant was faster than that of the wood-attribute plant.

In just one night, it has already grown more than a foot taller. Before long, this spiritual plant will probably be able to grow directly above the water surface.

"What if I use the power of nature to accelerate its growth?" Lu Lin pondered, stroking his chin. Then he mobilized the power of nature, attempting to accelerate the growth of the seeds in the pool.

However, spiritual plants that are nurtured to grow in water are clearly different from those that are nurtured to grow on the ground. After being immersed in water, the natural power begins to be diluted by the flowing water, and very little of the natural power is ultimately incorporated into the seed.

"It seems that if I want to cultivate spiritual plants in the water, I need to improve my control over the power of nature." Lu Lin tried it out and found that the utilization rate of the power of nature in the water was less than half of the normal level.

Soon his spiritual energy was completely drained, but the growth rate of the underwater seeds did not increase much, far from achieving the immediate effect.

"It seems I'll have to practice this regularly." Lu Lin let out a long sigh, finally giving up on stimulating the birth, and turned to leave the place, returning to the bamboo forest.

Good news! After being exposed to the midday sun, the earth-elemental spiritual plant has grown taller and has already broken through the soil. This speed is quite fast.

Lu Lin sat cross-legged on the rock, looking at the flowerpot beside him. Then he took out several books from his Qiankun bag and began to read them.

"The leaves are needle-like... They grow twice as fast under sunlight, plus the earth element..." Lu Lin murmured, starting to search through the books, gradually becoming immersed in the ocean of learning.

Perhaps it is because druids have a natural advantage that they can learn about these kinds of spiritual plants very quickly. They can almost understand their essence with just a glance and remember it.

Soon, an hour later, Lu Lin found the spiritual plant.

"Yellow Sand Needle Grass, a spiritual plant of the Yang Earth element, grows to about half a foot tall when mature, with three to five leaves. After consumption, it can stimulate kidney energy and is an aphrodisiac. It can assist in opening the meridians during the Qi Refining period. It is more effective for men and slightly less effective for women."

Lu Lin looked at the introduction in the book, then looked at the blade of grass that had sprouted in the flowerpot.

In addition, this spiritual herb is also an essential ingredient for refining aphrodisiac pills. Many cultivators in the cultivation world purchase and consume it in order to increase their offspring, and it is quite valuable.

However, these kinds of spiritual materials, just like their name suggests, mostly grow in deserts and wastelands. Moreover, after consuming them, it is easy to have an excess of yang energy, which can lead to a temporary depletion of essence and qi.

In layman's terms, it means that while the drug is in effect, one is invincible, but after the effect wears off, one becomes listless and lethargic.

"They're cultivating immortality, yet aphrodisiacs still have side effects?" Lu Lin's lips twitched slightly after he learned about it.

He turned to the next page of the book, and surprisingly, it contained instructions on how to resolve this side effect.

"Consuming Yin Lotus, which possesses Yin water properties, can neutralize excess Yang energy, nourish kidney Qi, and through the balance of Yin and Yang, also replenish blood and Qi, thus boosting cultivation. It is most effective for women, and slightly less so for men."

"It really is a case of the five elements generating and restraining each other, huh?"

Finally, the information in the book about this spiritual material describes its characteristics.

Does not like water.

It dislikes shade.

Baking with hot air can actually improve its growth rate and quality.

You don't know until you learn it, and once you do, you'll be amazed!

Are there really so many intricacies and knowledge involved in spiritual plant cultivation?

"But where am I supposed to find hot air?" Lu Lin stroked his chin, lost in thought. Then it occurred to him that Shen Luo was a fire-wielder.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin chuckled, closed the book in his hand, and went to find Shen Luo.

Just then, Shen Luo, who had just been beaten up, was lying on a pile of rubble, sprawled out looking at the sky. Noticing Lu Lin's arrival, she immediately turned her head to look.

What are you doing here?

Lu Lin said, "There's something I need your help with."

"Hmm?" Shen Luo was a little curious, so she immediately stood up and followed Lu Lin into the bamboo forest.

When Shen Luo learned of Lu Lin's idea, his expression turned strange: "Will this work? Don't let my Heavenly Fire power burn this spiritual material to death."

Although the attributes of spirit plants are not exactly the same, spirit plants themselves are directly restrained by heavenly fire.

"Don't worry, I'll stop immediately if things go wrong." Lu Lin still wanted to give it a try.

Shen Luo nodded in agreement, then walked between Lu Lin and the flowerpot and released his spiritual power.

The spiritual power of the fire spirit root was already extremely hot, and with the added power of the heavenly fire seed, the surrounding temperature instantly rose, and the moisture in the air began to evaporate. In no time, the area within a three-zhang radius of Shen Luo became extremely hot.

Lu Lin immediately used the Wind Control Technique to summon a gentle breeze.

The breeze was originally cool, but after being heated by Shen Luo's power, it immediately turned into hot air and hit the flowerpot.

At the same time, Lu Lin also mobilized the surrounding natural forces, which, after being heated, flowed seamlessly into the yellow sand needle grass.

The yellow sand needle grass quickly began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lu Lin's expression brightened slightly: "It really worked!"

However, shortly afterward, the druid's perception suddenly gave Lu Lin feedback that the seed's roots were being damaged. Lu Lin's expression changed, and he immediately withdrew his supernatural power.

Seeing this, Shen Luo also withdrew the heavenly fire on his body.

"The Heavenly Fire attribute is too extreme. Although it can rapidly accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, it can also damage their roots. It seems this method won't work," Lu Lin sighed.

"Maybe it would work with ordinary flames," Shen Luo comforted him. "I don't know anything about spirit plants, figure it out yourself. I'm going back to get a beating."

After saying that, Shen Luo turned around and limped away.
