Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

After finishing his meal, Lu Lin went to the Spirit Field. The air around the Spirit Field was filled with a faint fragrance, and the wheat fields rippled in waves with the breeze.

Thanks to Guji's tireless efforts day and night, the spirit wheat in the five acres of spirit fields has matured and turned golden yellow from bottom to top. Lu Lin plucked a stalk of wheat, rubbed it in his hand, and took out eight plump and round grains.

If this quality were found in the mortal world, it would surely be a great harvest.

Lu Lin picked up the wheat and squeezed it; it was very hard.

It's time for a bountiful harvest.

Lu Lin raised his head, about to form hand seals to use magic to harvest the spiritual field, but at that moment, Shi Jia came over and reminded Lu Lin:

"All the world's spiritual materials are formed by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the power of heaven and earth. If they are harvested using magic, their purity will be defiled. Have you already forgotten what you learned just a few days ago?"

Lu Lin turned around, frowning slightly: "Medicinal herbs naturally cannot be harvested using magic, but this spirit wheat is just an ingredient, is that not allowed either?"

Shi Jia said, "The taste won't be good."

Lu Lin understood. It wasn't that he couldn't use magic to harvest the spirit wheat, but rather that his senior sister or master didn't want him to use magic to harvest it.

After all, eating is a big deal at Tianhang Mountain.

If the ingredients are of poor quality, the master and fellow disciples will be unhappy.

It seems I have no choice but to do it myself.

Lu Lin sighed inwardly, then took out a sickle from his Qiankun bag and plunged it into the mature spiritual field.

[You have harvested a field of spirit wheat, participating in the 'Harvest'. Shennong Codex Proficiency +1, Heart of Nature Experience +1, Divine Intervention Experience +1]

[If you continue this behavior, your proficiency experience points will continue to increase...]

It was just past noon, and the sun was still blazing in the sky.

In addition, Lu Lin had just absorbed pure yang energy, and after a short while, he could not stand the heat. He immediately made a hand seal and used the Wind Control Technique to blow a cool breeze.

He then used the Cloud and Rain Technique to summon clouds and rain to block the scorching sun, but Lu Lin did not let the clouds and rain in the sky fall.

When Shi Jia saw Lu Lin's actions at the edge of the spirit field, she took the initiative to step forward, summoned her sickle, and began to help Lu Lin harvest the spirit wheat.

After all, before Lu Lin and Shen Luo came up the mountain, she was in charge of the spirit wheat in the five acres of spirit fields on Tianhang Mountain.

"Thank you very much, Senior Sister," Lu Lin said.

"Master sent me to help you," Shijia said.

Lu Lin smiled.

The sickles danced in their hands, leaving afterimages. Although they couldn't use magic to harvest the spirit wheat, they were still Qi Refining cultivators, and their harvesting speed was much faster than that of ordinary people. In just one afternoon, they completed most of the work.

As dusk fell, the two bundled the harvested wheat and piled it on the edge of the field.

Shijia asked, "Have you finished reading all those books about unorthodox and heretical practices?"

"I've finished watching it." Lu Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Have you remembered all the famous geniuses in the cultivation world?" Shi Jia asked, a little uneasy.

"I've remembered it all. I've noted down which sects in the cultivation world are best at what, which sects are unorthodox sects, or the methods or skills that the young masters of contemporary aristocratic families are best at. When I encounter them, I can recognize them as soon as they make a move," Lu Lin said.

Upon hearing Lu Lin's words, Shi Jia felt somewhat relieved and continued to advise, "When you're out in the world, people can be treacherous. The cultivation world is different from home, so don't easily trust others. Besides, outside of Tianhang Mountain, no one will care about you like this. If someone does, they're either a scoundrel or a thief."

"I know, I know." Lu Lin was getting a little impatient. Shi Jiayi, the senior sister, was even more nagging than their master.

Did Third Senior Sister nag like this before Shen Luo went down the mountain?

Shi Jia stepped forward slowly and held out her hand to Lu Lin: "Give me Kunlun."

"No." Lu Lin shook his head and refused.

"I'm not going to hit you." Shi Jia was speechless.

Lu Lin remained skeptical, but ultimately chose to trust Shi Jiayi and summoned Kunlun.

But immediately afterward, Lu Lin covered his head, taking precautions in advance.

To his surprise, Shi Jiayi didn't actually hit him. Instead, she took Kunlun in her left hand, opened it, bit her right fingertip, and used her blood to draw an unknown rune on the folding fan. The blood-red rune disappeared after merging into Kunlun.

Lu Lin then lowered his hand from his head and leaned closer, asking curiously, "What is this?"

"This is the Ruoshui Seal, which contains a portion of my power. In defense, it can help you block a fatal blow, and in offense, it can make you a match for high-level Qi Refining cultivators."

After finishing the seal, Shi Jia closed the Kunlun seal and smacked Lu Lin on the head without any hesitation, snorting as she said:

"Use it sparingly. The power in this watermark can only be used twice at most. Once it's used up, it's gone."

Lu Lin had been on guard against everything, but he never expected Shi Jia to do this to him like this. He was caught off guard and rubbed his head in pain.

Before he could even recover, Shi Jia returned the folding fan to Lu Lin.

"Also, this is for you."

Shi Jia opened her palm, revealing two jade bottles in her hand.

"What is this?" Lu Lin's eyes were filled with surprise.

"These are the Hundred Crying Heavenly Abandoned Powder and Spirit-Entering Illusionary Dream Powder that Master refined for you. The effects are stronger than ordinary sleeping pills, mainly effective against the fourth and fifth levels of Qi Refining. If you encounter someone you can't defeat, just run away. However, there aren't many of them, so use them sparingly."

Lu Lin took the two jade bottles in his hands: "So Shen Luo has one too?"

"Yes, there is." Shi Jia nodded slightly. "Do you really think Master can trust you all?"

"Of course, you also have the prescription. If you feel you don't have enough sleeping pills, you can make more in advance. It's not shameful to use these methods to save your life," Shi Jiayi continued. "But you must not do anything that would betray your trust."

Lu Lin put the two jade bottles into his Qiankun bag and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Senior Sister."

"I'm going down the mountain this time to participate in the Spirit Plant Master assessment, not to fight anyone, so I'll try to avoid it as much as possible."

Shi Jia nodded slightly: "It's good that you know."

Then she looked up at the sky and said to Lu Lin, "It's time to eat. After you finish eating tonight, your second senior brother will help you temper your body. You can also take this opportunity to break through to the third level of the Qi Refining stage. Then, you can go down the mountain first thing tomorrow morning."

"Can we go down the mountain tomorrow?" Lu Lin looked back and saw that there was still a small portion of spirit wheat in the spirit field that had not been harvested, and Guji was still rooted in the field and had not come out.

Shi Jia glanced at the spirit field and said, "Then you can harvest the spirit field tomorrow before leaving. You can decide when to leave. I'm just saying."

"Understood." Lu Lin nodded, and then the two of them left the spirit field together to have dinner.
