Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

After watching Shen Luo leave, Lu Lin looked at the flowerpot in front of him again. Although the yellow sand needle grass in the flowerpot had grown quite a bit taller, it looked more haggard than before. If Lu Lin hadn't stopped in time, the yellow sand needle grass would have withered away.

"It seems this matter cannot be rushed." Lu Lin sighed, sat down cross-legged in front of the flowerpot, and mobilized the power of nature to help the yellow sand needle grass recover its roots and stems, so as not to die halfway.

Half an hour later, Lu Lin's spiritual energy was depleted, and he could no longer mobilize any more natural power. However, the yellow sand needle grass was no longer withered and stood tall and proud, clearly having replenished the energy he had just lost.

Lu Lin smiled with satisfaction and then moved it to a different location so that it could better bask in the sunlight.

After finishing all this, Lu Lin sat cross-legged on a rock in the bamboo forest again, took out a large number of books from his Qiankun bag, and began to carefully read and study them.

[You have completed a reading session, increasing your understanding of the knowledge in the book by 1.]

[You have completed a reading session, increasing your understanding of the knowledge in the book by 1.]

The panel was refreshing in mid-air, but Lu Lin paid no attention to it, his mind focused entirely on the book in his hands.

At the entrance to the bamboo forest, Shi Jiayi was initially worried that Lu Lin was too ambitious and wouldn't be able to settle down, but when she saw Lu Lin engrossed in his book, a smile immediately appeared on her face: "There's no need for me to urge him on."

After saying that, she didn't go in to disturb Lu Lin, but turned around and silently left.

Time flew by, and Lu Lin felt hungry, so he broke free from his reading. Looking up, he realized it was already late morning with a bright moon and few stars.

Lu Lin quickly assessed the time in his mind and exclaimed in alarm, "It's past lunchtime!"

After saying that, he was about to jump off the rock to find his master and the others, but as soon as he jumped off the rock and turned around, he saw Shi Jiayi standing at the entrance of the bamboo forest.

Shi Jiayi, holding a lunchbox, saw Lu Lin looking in her direction, raised her hand and waved it at him before walking over.

"Did Senior Sister make this especially for me?" Seeing this, Lu Lin was no longer in a hurry. The two of them sat down cross-legged on the spot and sandwiched the lunchbox between them.

"No, it's our dinner. Master saw you were cultivating, so he asked me to tidy up and save some extra for you. There's a restriction on this lunchbox, so it's still warm. Eat it while it's hot." Shi Jia tidied up the food and arranged it out.

"Anyway, thank you for bringing me food, senior sister. I don't know what's wrong with me, but once I start reading these kinds of books, I get completely absorbed in them without even realizing it." Lu Lin said apologetically, then picked up her bowl and chopsticks and wolfed down her food.

After finishing the meal, even the fatigue from a day of studying was somewhat relieved. In just a quarter of an hour, Lu Lin finished the food in front of him.

"By the way, Senior Sister, what kind of spiritual root do you have?" Lu Lin suddenly asked after she had finished eating and drinking.

Shi Jia didn't hide anything from Lu Lin and said, "I have a water elemental root."

"Water elemental root...?" Lu Lin stroked his chin curiously. "Are single elemental roots common in the cultivation world?"

He and Shen Luo both have a single spiritual root, as does his senior sister. There are only seven people in their Tianhang Mountain, so the probability of having a single spiritual root is too high.

"It's rare. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's one in a million." Shi Jiayi nodded slightly.

Lu Lin said, "In that case, shouldn't our Tianhang Mountain have three people with single spiritual roots attract the covetousness of others?"

"With Master and Senior Brother here, Tianhang Mountain is absolutely safe." Shi Jia shook her head, then stopped Lu Lin from asking any further questions: "Alright, let's leave it at that for tonight. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Cultivation is your own business; there's no need to concern yourself with these unimportant matters."

Knowing that Shi Jiayi was unwilling to answer further, Lu Lin did not ask any more questions.

Shi Jiayi began to tidy up the mess in front of her, and then, as if remembering something, she looked up at Lu Lin and said, "By the way, your fifth senior brother is going down the mountain tomorrow. Go and see him off. Master and your other senior brothers and sisters won't be going."

Lu Lin was slightly taken aback: "Why not go?"

Luo Luo went down the mountain to gain experience, which was fraught with danger. Why didn't her master, senior brothers, and senior sisters see her off?

"I've already given you all the instructions at the dinner table. All that's left is for you to say goodbye to your fifth senior brother." Shi Jia rolled her eyes at Lu Lin, stood up with the cleaned dishes, and continued, "Anyway, don't forget tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight."

After saying that, Shi Jia left the bamboo forest.

Lu Lin then quietly said "Oh".

It was just sending someone down the mountain for training, so why did it feel like a farewell? Lu Lin rubbed his head: "It's not like we'll never see each other again, why are you thinking like this?"

Clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Lu Lin stood up and ran back to the thatched hut.

When he passed by Shen Luo's thatched hut, he glanced over there. The candlelight had gone out, and Shen Luo must have been asleep, so he didn't disturb him.

Once he lay down on the bed, Lu Lin should have fallen asleep immediately after a day of cultivation, but he suffered from insomnia, which was unusual for him.

Thinking about it, that makes sense.

Since birth, the original owner of this body had never truly been separated from Shen Luo. Now, with the mention of Shen Luo going down the mountain alone, Lu Lin, the transmigrator who inherited the original owner's memories, felt a little strange.

Lu Lin had no idea what was on his mind, but in the end he sat down at his desk.

The next day, before dawn, Lu Lin suddenly woke up at his desk. When he got up, he saw that candles had been lit in Shen Luo's thatched hut.

Lu Lin hurried over, only to find that Shen Luo had already packed his things and was ready to leave. This time, he did not deliberately dress himself up meticulously. On the contrary, Shen Luo was now wearing coarse linen clothes, looking like an ordinary lad born and raised in the countryside.

Shen Luo noticed the door to the thatched hut being pushed open, and paused for a moment before turning to look at the doorway: "Linzi, why are you awake so early?"

Seeing that Shen Luo hadn't left yet, Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and coughed lightly, saying, "It's nothing, I just got up to relieve myself and saw there was candlelight here, so I came over."

Shen Luo responded with an "Oh".

Lu Lin awkwardly shifted his gaze: "Oh right, I remember, you're leaving today, right?"

"Yes, I can already use Heavenly Fire to a basic level. My senior sister said that I don't need to be afraid of any disciple I encounter at the same level, and I don't need to worry about those unorthodox cultivators either. I can just burn them all away with one fire." Shen Luo was clearly full of confidence and clenched his fist at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin nodded slightly, then took out a large number of yellow talismans from his Qiankun bag and handed them to Shen Luo, saying, "These yellow talismans are for you. There are nine kinds, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. They may not be able to help you much, but they might be able to catch you off guard when used at a critical moment. That's all. Take them and go down the mountain."

"So many?" Shen Luo looked at the yellow talismans in Lu Lin's hand, some of which numbered nearly a hundred.

"I make these things whenever I have free time, so I naturally have quite a few." Lu Lin coughed lightly and handed the yellow talisman to Shen Luo without further ado: "You don't need to worry about me. Anyway, I still have a long time before I go down the mountain."

Shen Luo took the yellow talisman in his hand: "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. You don't need to see me off. I'm going down the mountain now. My master said yesterday that it's more comfortable to go down the mountain at night than during the day."

"Hmm." Lu Lin nodded, but stood at the door without making way. In the end, Shen Luo walked over, and he subconsciously stepped aside, watching Shen Luo go down the mountain.

But after Shen Luo had walked away, Lu Lin suddenly shouted and asked, "By the way, where are you going to train?"

"I'll go wherever there's fire, I'll have no fixed abode. Don't worry, nothing will happen." Shen Luo turned around and waved his hand, then cast a wind-controlling spell and flew down the mountain.

Lu Lin stood there in a daze for a long time before looking away, returning to his thatched hut, and going to bed to sleep.
