Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Then, Lu Lin turned to look at Xiao Hei, who was lying on the bedside. The effects of the healing pill had fully taken effect, and Xiao Hei's severed hind leg had healed, allowing it to stand up like a normal dog.

Lu Lin reached out and touched Xiao Hei's head. Xiao Hei now regarded Lu Lin as its support and raised its head on its own.

Lu Lin took the opportunity to release his spiritual power, which flowed through Xiao Hei's body. He found that Xiao Hei's meridians had recovered to about 70-80%, and under the effect of the Spirit Healing Pill, Xiao Hei's meridians were even stronger than those of an ordinary dog.

As expected of a descendant of a spirit beast, although its bloodline power is not obvious, its inherent strength is still greater than that of ordinary mortal beasts.

"In that case..." Lu Lin's eyes flashed slightly, "we should be able to proceed with bloodline purification now."

With a thought, Lu Lin saw Xiao Hei's attribute panel appear before him. Lu Lin focused mainly on Xiao Hei's status section:

Current status: Healthy and at ease.

Both of these conditions are positive, which is just right.

Lu Lin turned around, sat cross-legged facing Xiao Hei, placed one hand on Xiao Hei's head, and formed a hand seal with the other hand, releasing a peculiar power.

A crimson light transformed into a blood arrow, striking Xiao Hei between the eyebrows, causing the fur on Xiao Hei's body to stand on end.

The blood arrow merged into Xiao Hei's blood, absorbing and purifying the impurities in Xiao Hei's bloodline, making it purer. Xiao Hei's fur also became beautiful and smooth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Hei also noticed the changes within its body. A hint of intelligence appeared in its previously confused and ignorant eyes, and even its originally petite body grew larger at this moment.

[You used Bloodline Purification to purify Xiao Hei's bloodline. Xiao Hei has evolved into the Black Abyss Hound. Bloodline Purification Proficiency +30, Heart of Nature Experience +6, Divine Intervention Experience +6]

Looking at the refreshed panel in front of him, Lu Lin smiled and withdrew his hand from Xiao Hei's head.

However, the consumption of bloodline purification far exceeded Lu Lin's expectations. In just a short while, one-third of the spiritual power in Lu Lin's Qi Sea was squeezed out.

Fortunately, it was successful.

Although the Black Abyss Hound is just one of the most common water-attribute spirit beasts, its aptitude and potential are much higher than Little Black's.

'It seems that Xiao Hei's parents might be such spirit beasts.' Lu Lin pondered, stroking his chin.

Then, Xiao Hei's attribute panel was opened:

Contract Beast: Little Black

Bloodline: Black Abyss Dog (Water)

Ability: Water Power

Current state: Curiosity, joy, peace of mind

Lu Lin looked at the ability section and became curious. With a thought, the panel in front of him changed:

[Water Power: Can summon the power of water to enhance oneself, strengthen one's abilities, and grant the host the same abilities.]

"Hmm?" Lu Lin didn't react much to the first half of the introduction, but he was somewhat taken aback when he saw the second half. He immediately had Xiao Hei try to transform into a bracelet and put it on his wrist.

Xiao Hei understood Lu Lin's meaning, and called out softly twice. Then it transformed into a dark light and became a pure black bracelet, which was placed on Lu Lin's left wrist.

Not only that, Lu Lin was also surprised to find that he and Xiao Hei were actually of one mind, and they could indeed use the bracelet to mobilize the power of water.

It's true that Xiao Hei is a contracted beast, but after transforming into a bracelet, it's more like a magical artifact.

"Not bad, not bad." Lu Lin nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Guji beside him. Guji called out softly twice and transformed into vines that wrapped around Lu Lin's left arm.

Now that he carries Xiao Hei and Gu Ji with him, no one can tell.

Lu Lin was about to lie down and rest when a commotion came from outside the inn's door, accompanied by the clanging of armor.

"The garrison commander of Fengcheng? Is he here to find me?" Thinking of this, Lu Lin did not hesitate. He leaped into the air and transformed into a rose petal, drifting out of the window with the night breeze.

As expected, just as Lu Lin had thought, these guards were looking for him. They had a clear objective, and the moment after Lu Lin left, they kicked open the door to the private room.

But there was no one in the room.

General Fengcheng strode forward and placed his hand on the bed: "It's still warm, it definitely hasn't gone far, go after it!"

In the past half hour, General Fengcheng went to the city lord's mansion and investigated the incident in Peacock City. He has confirmed that what Young Master Yue said was true.

Nowadays, there are readily available favors to be taken; why not take them?

He immediately ordered all armored cultivators in Fengcheng to go into battle and search the entire city.

Lu Lin transformed into a rose petal and finally drifted down to the roof of the pavilion. Looking down, he saw armored cultivators on every major street in Fengcheng.

It must be that young master Yue who colluded with the cultivators of Fengcheng!

Lu Lin frowned slightly, recalling the appearance of Young Master Yue in his mind, and then transformed into Young Master Yue.

Since the act had to be convincing, Lu Lin had another idea. He transformed the folding fan in his hand into a bronze mirror and hung it on his waist. Then he swaggered into the street.

The image of Young Master Yue is truly useful. When the armored cultivators of Fengcheng saw him, they not only dared not stop him, but also had to respectfully call him Young Master Yue.

It's clear that someone at the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage already holds a significant position in Fengcheng.

At the very least, in front of these ordinary armored cultivators, Young Master Yue's status is already quite high.

As the armored cultivators gradually disappeared into the distance, Lu Lin's lips curled up slightly. He took the bronze mirror from his waist and patted it in his left palm.

However, Fengcheng has a curfew, so if you want to leave the city, you have to wait until at least dawn; otherwise, forcibly breaking through the checkpoint will only make things more complicated.

"How can I hold out until dawn tomorrow?" Lu Lin paced back and forth in the night. Now that he had transformed into the appearance of Young Master Yue, no one would notice if it was only for a short time, but if it went on for too long, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Moreover, Young Master Yue is a cultivator of the Star Path. For him, discerning illusions is not difficult, and finding him is only a matter of time.

Just when Lu Lin was at a loss for what to do...

A deep voice came from behind him, asking, "Are you Young Master Yue?"

Lu Lin was taken aback. He turned around and saw a richly dressed man approaching in a sly manner. He also had a token on his waist with a large character engraved on it.

"Forest."

A strange light flashed in Lu Lin's eyes as he held the bronze mirror in his hand and leaned forward to ask, "Young Master Lin?"

"That's right, that's right." The young man nodded.

Lu Lin immediately had an idea. His eyes darted around, and he asked, "What business does the young master have with me?"

"Young Master Yue, you really have a short memory. We've been exchanging letters for a long time. In my letter, I mentioned that I had long heard of your success in cultivating the power of stars and that you are now a fourth-level cultivator in the Star Path. I've admired you for a long time."

Young Master Yue, you also promised in your letter about the next thing, didn't you?"

As expected of a scion of a prominent family, the young master of the Lin family could spout flattery with ease.

"So you want to..." It seems that Young Master Lin and Young Master Yue have been in contact for a long time, but he couldn't understand, so he could only pretend to be hesitant to speak.

Young Master Lin chuckled, "I've heard that Young Master Yue's teleportation skills are unparalleled. I wonder if you could send me to Miss Guo's boudoir?"

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment.

The Guo and Lin families are two prominent families in Fengcheng, and they are well-matched in terms of social standing. The eldest sons and daughters of the two families have long been engaged and are said to be forming a marriage alliance.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin knew there was more to it than met the eye, so he moved even closer and asked, "May I ask if you are from the Lin family...?"

"Second Young Master." The young man was well protected by the Lin family and didn't hide anything from Lu Lin: "However, Young Master Yue, please don't misunderstand. Sister Guo and I have already pledged our lives to each other. It's all because of the marriage agreement made by our elders since we were born that we are separated."

Oh~ the younger brother cheated on the older brother.

This shows that the second young master of the Lin family is a man of strong emotions, and the eldest young master of the Lin family is even more so.

I wonder if the latter's personality will change drastically after learning about this.

"I wonder if Young Master Yue could send me inside to meet Sister Guo? If it is successful, I will certainly fulfill any requests you may have, as long as they are within my capabilities."

Isn't this the opportunity?

Lu Lin was overjoyed when he heard this.

However, he knew that the other party's kindness was all owed to Young Master Yue, and what he had just said was also directed at Young Master Yue. Even if he helped him, it would be difficult for this kindness to fall on Young Master Yue.

Moreover, his imposter status as Young Master Yue will not last long and will soon be discovered. Rather than doing things himself to gain favor with Young Master Yue, he might as well stir up trouble and take advantage of the chaos.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin stepped forward again and took the hand of the second young master of the Lin family:

"I see that you are a man of character, so I agreed to this. However, ordinary teleportation is too commonplace. Since you wish to win a smile from a beauty, you must be more dashing. I have a plan for you."

"I'd like to hear the details," the second young master of the Lin family said excitedly.
