Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

As evening fell, Lu Lin sat in the wooden tub, enduring the stinging pain in his body with gritted teeth. His second senior brother stood beside the tub, pouring a batch of prepared body-tempering potions into it.

White mist quickly rose from the wooden barrel, filling the room. Soon, the room was filled with mist, and a faint medicinal fragrance floated in the air.

The second senior brother finally poured all the medicine into the wooden tub and said to Lu Lin, "Cultivation in the Qi Refining stage focuses on physical forging. Every time a meridian is opened, not only will the size of the Qi Sea increase, but the physical fitness will also be strengthened by at least twice."

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if there is only a one-level difference between the Qi Refining stages, the lower-level Qi Refining stage cultivator will be completely overwhelmed.

"In the cultivation world, those who can hold their own against those who are separated by a realm deserve the title of genius, and those who can kill enemies who are separated by a realm are extremely rare. Even geniuses who are only seen once every ten or twenty years are few and far between." The second senior brother told Lu Lin about the cultivation world while helping him temper his body.

"You and Xiao Wu both have single spiritual roots, which is one in ten thousand. You might barely be worthy of the title of genius, but you are definitely not among the rarest people."

So when you're out and about, you must protect yourself. Even if you look down on those high-level cultivators, you must still show them respect, or at least keep your distance if you see them. Little Six, do you understand?

Amidst the intense pain, Lu Lin's meridians were being relentlessly eroded by the medicinal liquid. Upon hearing his second senior brother's words, he lacked the strength to open his mouth, only managing a muffled groan through his nose to indicate that he understood.

The second senior brother continued:

"In the cultivation world, cultivators have varying degrees of aptitude for cultivation, but aptitude only determines a cultivator's cultivation speed, not their overall strength."

The cultivation speed of those with dual or even triple spiritual roots may only be 30% or even less than 10% of those with single spiritual roots, but once they reach the required realm, their strength may not be inferior to those with single spiritual roots.

Therefore, after you descend the mountain, if you encounter such people, and if they are righteous and get along with you, be sure to be humble and not arrogant.

At this point, Lu Lin had absorbed more than half of the medicinal power in the wooden tub, his third meridian was about to be opened, and the pain in his body had been reduced by more than half.

Hearing his second senior brother's words, Lu Lin nodded repeatedly.

The second senior brother continued:

"If you offend anyone while descending the mountain, or if someone plots against you, don't ask why, and don't hesitate. If you can kill them, then kill them to prevent future troubles. If the other party is strong and bullies the weak, then saving your life is the most important thing. Your family will support you."

The medicinal effects in the wooden tub had weakened a bit, and Lu Lin was able to speak again: "Don't worry, senior brother, I understand."

"There's one more thing," the second senior brother said again.

Lu Lin listened attentively.

"After descending the mountain, you must not mention to anyone that you are a disciple of Tianhang Mountain, and you must never reveal your sect."

Lu Lin didn't ask why, he just nodded into the wooden tub.

The second senior brother looked down and saw that Lu Lin had almost absorbed all the medicinal power in the wooden tub. He then bid farewell to Lu Lin, saying, "That's all I have to tell you. Little Six, be careful after you go down the mountain and take good care of yourself. I should go now."

"Don't worry, senior brother," Lu Lin assured him.

The second senior brother nodded, turned around, and left Lu Lin's thatched hut.

After his second senior brother left, Lu Lin had just finished absorbing the medicinal effects from the water, wiped himself off, and came out.

Each physical training session is a process of cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body.

Lu Lin found a bronze mirror, stood in front of it and looked at himself. His face was much whiter than when he first came up the mountain.

After he comes down the mountain, the villagers of Tianhangshan might not even recognize him anymore.

Lu Lin admired himself in the bronze mirror for a while, then put on his bathrobe and went to bed.

However, he did not rush to sleep, but instead took out the Shennong Harvest Picture and the mature yellow sand needle grass.

"I have now tempered my body again, and I am only one step away from the third level of the Qi Refining stage. If I add the power of the Yellow Sand Needle Grass's essence, I might be able to stabilize my realm while breaking through."

Lu Lin unfolded the Shennong Harvest Map in his hand and placed the yellow sand needle grass into it.

【Yellow Sand Needle Grass: Half a foot long, four leaves, a spiritual material with Yang Earth attribute】

A line of text appeared on the scroll.

With a thought, a golden power appeared from the Shennong Harvest Picture and floated into his hand.

[Huangsha Needle Leaf Herbal Source: A spiritual material with the primordial power of Yang Earth attribute, born in hot and dry environments. Cultivators who consume it can nourish their kidney Yang, refine their essence, and condense their blood energy. Mortals who consume it can be free from the bitter cold and maintain their erection throughout their lives.]

Looking at the subtitles in front of him, Lu Lin took a deep breath, tilted his head back, and swallowed the golden power in his hand. Immediately, an extremely warm power fell down his esophagus and finally merged into his limbs and bones.

This force quickly flowed through his meridians, immediately helping Lu Lin open up the previously relatively blocked acupoints.

But after this power entered Lu Lin's Qi Sea through his meridians, his Qi Sea began to boil, creating turbulent waves, and intense pain came from his Dantian.

Lu Lin quickly held his breath and focused his mind, circulating the Shennong Codex to suppress the restless power within his body. The size of his Qi Sea rapidly expanded, and the power within Lu Lin's body accumulated quickly.

An astonishing surge of blood energy made Lu Lin feel incredibly hot.

Lu Lin had clearly underestimated the power of this primordial energy.

Under the intense heat, Lu Lin couldn't help but open his eyes, which were bloodshot. Looking down, he discovered a towering erection.

This yellow sand needle grass truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier aphrodisiac in the cultivation world; its effects are indeed miraculous.

Although the process of enduring it is very uncomfortable.

However, it also greatly helped his cultivation level. In just a short while, Lu Lin's Qi Sea expanded by more than double, and it continued to expand at an astonishing rate.

[You activated the Shennong Codex and absorbed the primordial power of the Yellow Sand Needle Grass, instantly replenishing the depleted Yang energy in your body, even leaving a surplus.]

Shennong Codex Proficiency +3, Heart of Nature Experience +3, Divine Intervention Experience +3

The original power of the yellow sand needle grass helped you open up your third meridian, your Qi Sea expanded by nearly two times, your physique doubled, and your blood and Qi became incredibly abundant.

You have broken through to the third level of the Qi Refining stage. Heart of Nature experience points +30, Divine Enlightenment experience points +30.

Half an hour later, the panel in front of me refreshed, and the breakthrough process went surprisingly smoothly.

At this moment, Lu Lin summoned Kunlun and used the Wind Control Technique to cool himself down.

However, the effect was not significant.

"If only my senior sister were here, she could help me neutralize all this excess yang energy."

The excess yang energy emanated, causing the temperature in the entire room to rise several degrees. Lu Lin was covered in sweat and couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

The scene of the day the daffodils ripened kept appearing in my mind.

This thought fueled his burning desire.

Lu Lin quickly cut off his thoughts. Now that his yang energy had just been replenished, if he were to lose it, it would definitely damage his essence and energy, which would be a loss.
