Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Around noon, Lu Lin finally ended his deep meditation and woke up to find the panel information refreshing rapidly in front of him.

A large amount of experience points were poured into the upgrade progress of the Heart of Nature.

【Heart of Nature (208/2000)】

In just one morning, I gained two hundred experience points, which is much faster than when I was at the foot of the mountain.

Afterwards, Lu Lin carefully sensed the spiritual power within his body, which had increased more than three times compared to before.

Although the progress is still small overall, Lu Lin is already very satisfied with it.

noon.

It's time to eat again.

Although the food was still burnt, it was much better than the rice porridge we had last night.

I dealt with it quickly.

Lu Lin then began his afternoon cultivation.

It was still the same bamboo forest, but Lu Lin's cultivation methods had changed.

If the morning's practice is about accumulation, then the afternoon's practice is about application.

Lu Lin sat cross-legged on the rock, placed his hands on his chest, and mobilized the little spiritual power in his body to summon a gust of wind.

[You used the Wind Summoning Spell. With the blessing of the Heart of Nature, the wind force reached level six, and the range reached ten zhang.]

[Wind Summoning Spell Proficiency +6, Heart of Nature Experience +6]

A level 6 wind is already quite strong, but compared to the legendary magical powers, such wind force is insignificant.

"I wonder what the result will be if I raise the Wind Summoning Spell to perfection," Lu Lin thought to himself, and continued training.

After some experimentation, Lu Lin discovered that the spiritual energy within his body could now sustain the Wind Summoning Spell for a quarter of an hour.

After resting for half an hour, you can continue for another fifteen minutes.

Lu Lin used this as a basis to devise a plan.

Practice the Wind Summoning Spell for a quarter of an hour, and then during the half-hour rest period, take out the Cloud and Rain Technique to study it.

[You have witnessed the nature-based spell Cloud and Rain, and have gained new insights into this spell. Your understanding of Cloud and Rain spell +1]

……

[You used the Wind Summoning Spell. Wind Summoning Spell Proficiency +6, Heart of Nature Experience +6]

The panel in front of him kept changing back and forth, and finally, after three hours, as dusk approached, Lu Lin finally made his progress.

You have observed the Cloud and Rain Technique and gained +1 comprehension of it.

[When your understanding of the Cloud and Rain Technique reaches ten points, you've reached the beginner level.]

Lu Lin's face lit up with joy. He casually brought up the panel and his gaze fell on the Cloud and Rain Technique section.

[Introduction to the Art of Cloud and Rain (1/100)]

It seems we can start irrigating the spirit fields tomorrow. Lu Lin thought to himself.

He looked up at the sky; it was time to eat. So he jumped off the rock and headed towards the courtyard at the top of the mountain.

The bamboo forest was about a quarter of an hour's walk from the mountain peak. When Lu Lin arrived at the courtyard, Shen Luo had already prepared the meal and placed it on the table.

Shen Luo looked quite disheveled.

It was covered in soot, probably from being smoked.

The old man sitting in the main seat saw Lu Lin arrive and immediately waved, "Sixth Brother, come here."

Lu Lin quickly ran over.

The old man continued, "Give me your wrist."

Lu Lin did as instructed, rolling up his sleeves and handing his wrist to his master, who then extended two fingers and pressed on Lu Lin's pulse.

Lu Lin immediately felt an incredibly pure power flowing through his body, as if he were being electrocuted.

After a moment of contemplation, the master removed his hand: "Not bad. In just one day, you have opened twenty-six acupoints. It seems that in a few days, you will be able to draw qi into your body and enter the Qi Refining stage."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin subconsciously looked at Shen Luo: "Then, Master, where is Shen Luo?"

The master said, "Your senior brother opened thirty-six acupoints today, ten more than you."

Although Shen Luo was covered in dust and dirt, he held his head high with great pride: "How about it, are you convinced or not?"

Lu Lin pursed his lips, too lazy to pay him any attention.

But then Master said, "Fire spiritual roots emphasize striking while the other way around, while wood spiritual roots emphasize continuous growth. At the beginning of cultivation, fire spiritual roots should naturally be faster than wood spiritual roots. This is nothing to be proud of."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin's face immediately lit up with a smile, while Shen Luo retorted, "No matter what, senior brother is still faster than junior brother."

The astronaut instructor didn't say anything more.

He could tell that his two newly accepted disciples, although they seemed eager to compete, actually had no ill intentions. Such youthful spirit was to be expected, so he didn't bother to say anything, lest he discourage them.

"Let's eat first," the astronaut instructor said.

"Where are the two senior sisters?" Shen Luo asked at this moment.

"Your two senior sisters went down the mountain to find weapons for you, so it's just the three of us eating today. As usual, leave the leftovers for them to eat tomorrow." The aerospace master said, picking up a piece of meat with his chopsticks.

Lu Lin then asked curiously, "Master, may I ask what realm you are in? Why do you still need to eat every day?"

It is mentioned in the "Qi Cultivation Manual".

Once you reach the third level of Qi Refining, you can consume Qi by swallowing it. You only need to eat one full meal a day to maintain your condition. Once you reach the sixth level of Qi Refining, you can completely stop eating and only need to cultivate every day to meet your body's needs.

The elderly astronaut wasn't surprised by Lu Lin's question, but replied, "I have long since practiced abstinence from grains."

"Does Master still eat every day?" Lu Lin wondered.

If the food were delicious, it would be fine, since even cultivators have a palate, but Shen Luo's cooking was clearly not tasty.

"In this life, everything from clothing and food to shelter and transportation is a form of spiritual practice, even for immortals," the aerospace master said, beginning to instruct the two.

"I don't care what other cultivators do, but you two must understand one principle in your future cultivation: immortals are never high above. An immortal must first be a person," said the aerospace master.

Lu Lin and Shen Luo nodded repeatedly.

The logic behind these words is straightforward and easy for both of them to understand.

But to their surprise, it was no wonder that the four senior brothers and sisters had such a down-to-earth demeanor; it turned out that their master had taught them that.

"By the way, cultivation isn't something that can be accomplished by someone urging you on. You two have to work hard on your own, understand?" the aerospace master continued.

"Yes." Lu Lin and Shen Luo nodded at the same time.

After the meal, it was completely dark.

Lu Lin and Shen Luo each returned to their own thatched huts.

Lu Lin went to the corner of the wall, looked at the lonely spirit wheat, and repeated the actions he had taken the night before, mobilizing the natural power in the air to begin its growth.

[You used the power of nature to cultivate a spirit wheat, Nature's Heart experience points +3]

[As you repeat this action, the experience points for the Heart of Nature will continue to increase...]

Perhaps because he had cultivated all day, the growth process was much faster than yesterday. Moreover, Lu Lin felt as if it were a natural process, and he could ripen the spirit wheat in front of him completely without any effort.

The barley sprouts ears of wheat at a visible speed, and then withers and turns yellow at a visible speed.

Finally, the content on the panel in front of us changed.

[You have used the power of nature to cultivate a spirit wheat stalk. Nature's Heart experience +10, Research Points +1]

[Highly recommended for outstanding nature illustrations: Lingmai (cannot be highlighted repeatedly)]

Extractable characteristics: rooted growth

Current research focus: 1 (more points available)

Current research focus: Natural Magic lv1 (1000/1000)

Just like the first time, the panel refresh is still ongoing, with two more options remaining at the bottom.

[Transformation Enhancement Lv1 (0/1000): After adding points, you can transform into a creature in nature at any time. After transformation, your characteristics are exactly the same as the corresponding creature.]

[Tree Summoning Lv1 (0/1000): After allocating points, you can use the power of nature to summon tree spirits. The tree spirits are absolutely loyal, and their strength is directly linked to the summoner.]

It's happening again...

Lu Lin rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

These two skills are really perplexing.

However, Lu Lin did not rush to choose this time. Instead, he tried to add some points to nature magic, but it had no effect. Obviously, if he wanted to upgrade nature magic to level two, he would have to wait for the panel to refresh and show the corresponding option.

Having realized that he couldn't delve deeper into the natural arts, Lu Lin refocused his attention on those two options.

"I haven't even entered the Qi Refining stage yet. Even if I choose to summon a treant, the treant's strength will be very weak..." Although Lu Lin was conflicted, reason still prevailed. "I should choose to transform."

[You've researched transformation enhancement. Once it reaches level one, you can transform into a creature in nature at any time. After transforming, your characteristics will be completely identical to the corresponding creature.]

The moment the panel refreshed, a large amount of corresponding information was poured into Lu Lin's mind.

What characteristics do different animals have? What advantages do different plants have?
