Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

The commotion in the alley quickly attracted the attention of passersby, but most of the rogue cultivators showed no surprise when they saw this scene. Instead, they took it for granted and no one came closer to watch, as if the death of a person in Fengcheng was a very common thing.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour after Lu Lin left that the garrison commander of Fengcheng appeared. Two armored cultivators carrying halberds came over, squatted down beside the corpse to examine it, and after confirming that the deceased had no chance of survival and ascertaining the deceased's strength and identity in life, they calmly carried the corpse away.

After the body was carried away, the bloodstains on the ground dried completely in a short while. A moment later, the two guards who had carried the body returned, cleaned up the dried bloodstains, and left.

Lu Lin was also keeping a close eye on the situation of Young Master Ri. When he saw Young Master Ri's body being carried away, he was worried that people from Fengcheng would come looking for trouble. However, after waiting for half an hour without anyone coming to look for him, Lu Lin was relieved and began to get down to business.

He stood before a shop, pointed to a pill on the counter, and asked, "How much does that Spirit Healing Pill cost?"

Spirit Healing Pills are healing pills most commonly found among cultivators at the third to sixth levels of the Qi Refining stage.

"Six low-grade spirit stones." The person guarding the counter was an old man, frail and of low cultivation level, only at the second level of Qi Refining. He must have spent his entire life here.

Six low-grade spirit stones... Lu Lin thought it was acceptable, and immediately took out six spirit stones and placed them on the table.

The old man also packed the pills into a box and handed it to Lu Lin.

Next, Lu Lin bought some spirit beast meat and thin noodles in Fengcheng to eat on the way.

As dusk approached, Lu Lin donned a black robe and found an inn to stay at.

The inn's attic had only three floors, which was neither too big nor too small in Fengcheng, and it was rather inconspicuous. No one paid any attention to Lu Lin, who was staying there.

Lu Lin's private room was on the second floor. There weren't many people in the second-floor corridor, and half of the private rooms were empty. Lu Lin held the number tag in his hand and searched for each room one by one. Once he found the corresponding number tag, he went in.

The moment he entered the private room, Guji transformed into vines and crawled out, turning back into a tree person on the ground. The bracelet that Xiao Hei had transformed into was taken out of Lu Lin's black robe and placed on the ground, returning to its original form.

Xiao Hei was still somewhat terrified. After being placed on the ground, it only dared to whimper softly, shrinking into the corner and trembling slightly.

"Gurgle?"

Guji didn't quite understand, her amber-like eyes wide open.

Lu Lin stepped forward, took out the pills he had just bought, placed them in front of Xiao Hei, and fed them to Xiao Hei.

The healing pill has a relatively mild effect, so there is no need to worry about the meridians being unable to withstand the medicine and collapsing. After Xiao Hei took the pill, its body immediately lit up with a faint emerald green light, and its fur became visibly smooth.

"Waaah~"

Xiao Hei also noticed the changes in its body and tried to move its broken hind limb. Surprisingly, it was able to stand up shakily.

Lu Lin smiled with satisfaction: "This Spirit Healing Pill is quite effective. It seems that once the pill's effects are fully realized, we can purify Xiao Hei's bloodline."

Once it was able to stand up, Xiao Hei immediately moved closer to Lu Lin's palm and licked it with its tongue.

Lu Lin patted Xiao Hei's head, then let Gu Ji play with it, while he sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the Sunbeam Light he had obtained from killing Young Master Ri of Wangyue Pavilion.

I wonder how the power of this corona beam compares to that three-inch thunderbolt.

Lu Lin opened the booklet in his hand:

[You have read The Light of the Corona and discovered that the power of the stars is even more profound than what your senior brother said some time ago. Your comprehension of The Light of the Corona +1]

[As you continue this behavior, your understanding of the Corona's Light will continue to increase...]

Perhaps because he possessed the abilities of divine insight and the power of stars, the light of the sun corona seemed surprisingly simple to Lu Lin.

Unfortunately, this corona beam seemed to be less powerful than the three-inch thunderbolt.

However, it's understandable. The Sunbeam Light is ultimately a secret technique of the Sun Prince, while the Three-Inch Heavenly Thunder was a gift from the owner of the Peacock Restaurant. It's only natural that there's a difference between them.

[You have reached a comprehension level of 10 in Corona Light, marking the beginning of your understanding of Corona Light.]

In just one hour, Lu Lin mastered the secret technique.

[Introduction to Corona Light (1/100)]

Lu Lin exhaled a breath of stale air, closed the booklet in his hand, raised his right hand, and immediately a radiant light gathered in his palm. The dazzling golden light had a scorching temperature, which raised the temperature in the room considerably.

The light of the sun is merely a basic spell that utilizes the power of the stars. Its most basic effect is to scorch and bake, and it has a restraining effect on the path of the soul and evil spirits.

Unfortunately, if the user is also within the range of the Corona Light, they will also be burned by the intense heat. Therefore, this secret technique can only be used after creating distance, otherwise it will result in both harming the enemy and oneself.

[You used the Sunbeam. Sunbeam Proficiency +3, Divine Intervention Experience +3]

[Introduction to Corona Light (4/100)]

Lu Lin took a deep breath, clenched his right hand, and withdrew the light of the corona.

In just a short moment, one-tenth of the spiritual energy in his dantian was consumed.

"This secret technique might be incredibly effective against ghost cultivators or spirits, but it's rather ineffective against cultivators on other paths," Lu Lin thought to himself, assessing the technique's potential.

In fact, Lu Lin was already quite satisfied with the effect, but the problem was that he was a wood spirit root, and the corona light was quite a burden on him, as extreme yang could scorch wood.

After finishing his cultivation, Lu Lin glanced out the window. It was already late, and it was time to sleep and rest. He took out some spirit beast meat and flatbread from his Qiankun bag to eat. After a simple meal, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, far away in Peacock City...

Young Master Yue hurriedly arrived at the top floor of Wangyue Pavilion and met the Pavilion Master.

The Pavilion Master of Wangyue Pavilion had already finished resting, but upon hearing the commotion, he frowned in displeasure.

"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

Young Master Yue's face was somber and sorrowful: "Master, news has come from Fengcheng that Young Master Ri is dead! His body is currently in the Fengcheng morgue, and they want us to redeem it for twenty spirit stones, otherwise they'll sell it to cultivators of the Blood Path as medical supplies!"

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Wangyue Pavilion immediately sat up in bed, walked around the shadowy figure into the main hall, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had misheard: "What did you say?"

Young Master Yue repeated what he had just said.

The Pavilion Master of Wangyue Pavilion slumped weakly into a chair.

Young Master Ri was a pillar of Wangyue Pavilion. His death would affect Wangyue Pavilion's status in Peacock City, not to mention that Young Master Ri was carrying 150 low-grade spirit stones, which was equivalent to more than half a year's harvest for Wangyue Pavilion!

"Who did this?" asked the master of Wangyue Pavilion.

Young Master Yue shook his head: "I don't know, there was no investigation in Fengcheng. But... there are rumors that it was the thieves from back then."

The Pavilion Master of Wangyue Pavilion gritted his teeth, his voice low and menacing: "Come with me and help me pinpoint him!"
