Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Looking at the unseeing eyes of Young Master Yue, Lu Lin suddenly felt that the scene before him was somewhat surreal. Just half a month ago, Young Master Yue could kill him with a wave of his hand, but now Young Master Yue was dead at his hands.

Although a large part of it was just pure luck, he was still involved in all of these events.

Lu Lin squatted down and searched through Young Master Yue's body. Young Master Yue had no storage bag, only a scroll and a mirror. There were also only thirteen low-grade spirit stones scattered in his sleeve pocket.

Compared to the weaker Sun Prince, the gains from killing the Moon Prince this time were not much.

This time, Lu Lin was more cautious. After collecting all the valuables, he took out a fire-attribute yellow talisman from his Qiankun bag and threw it on Young Master Yue's corpse.

"laugh!"

The flames immediately ignited the corpse, the firelight vying with the moonlight in the night. A night breeze blew, and the flames quickly turned into a raging inferno, filling the air with a faint smell of burning.

The commotion quickly attracted the armored cultivators of Fengcheng. Upon seeing this, Lu Lin transformed back into flower petals and disappeared into the darkness.

By the time the armored cultivators arrived, Young Master Yue's body had been burned beyond recognition. The guard could only confirm from the remaining aura on the body that the deceased was Young Master Yue, who had just escaped from the clutches of the Guo family matriarch.

"He was killed..." The Fengcheng garrison commander felt a sense of relief upon seeing Young Master Yue dead.

Previously, when he helped Young Master Yue, it was a transaction between the two of them. But now, Young Master Yue first deceived the second young master of the Lin family and then exposed the scandals of the Guo family. No matter how bold he is, he doesn't dare to get too involved with Young Master Yue.

Fortunately, Young Master Yue is dead now. Otherwise, if Young Master Yue had fallen into the hands of the Guo family and they found out about his relationship with Young Master Yue, he would have faced endless trouble in the future.

"Men, extinguish the fire and send it to the city lord's mansion. We'll let the two families decide tomorrow." The guard said after the fire had burned more thoroughly, and ordered his men to collect the embers from under the flames.

Under the cover of night, Lu Lin, disguised as a crow, stood atop a high-rise building, observing all the movements within Fengcheng.

"Originally, I only planned to use Young Master Yue's identity to trick the second young master of the Lin family, and then have the second young master of the Lin family help me deal with Young Master Yue. But I didn't expect things to develop to this point... No, I have to get away from this place of trouble." Lu Lin thought to himself.

His original intention was to deliberately send the second young master of the Lin family to the wrong person, putting him in an awkward and embarrassing situation, and making him resent Young Master Shangyue.

As the second young master of the Lin family and the son of the city lord, if he harbors any dissatisfaction with Young Master Yue, the Fengcheng garrison commander will certainly not dare to get close to Young Master Yue anymore, let alone help Young Master Yue to arrest him, thus relieving his pressure.

But who could have imagined that plans would go awry? The matriarch of the Guo family was having an affair. This matter would not have been exposed otherwise, but it was just in time to be disturbed by Young Master Yue's angry shout.

Furthermore, the second young master of the Lin family was having an affair with the eldest daughter of the Guo family, who was also the eldest young master's fiancée...

hiss--

Chaotic chaos!

Lu Lin felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the complex web of relationships between the two powerful families. It turned out that it wasn't just the young masters and ladies who were having a mess; the matriarchs of the families were also enjoying themselves immensely.

After Lu Lin's outburst, some of the scandals of the two great families will be exposed.

If he is found to be the one who started this, he will surely die without a burial place.

With that thought in mind, Lu Lin made a decision: tomorrow, he would immediately find a driver and set off to get away from Fengcheng.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The courtyards of the two powerful families were brightly lit, alarming the guards and maids. However, they dared not ask a single question and could only stand in the corridor or in the corner, wishing they could cover their ears to save their lives.

As for the young master of the Guo family matriarch, he has long been taken away to an unknown place, and may have been killed on the spot by the Guo family matriarch, leaving no way to verify the truth.

……

The next day, the sun was high in the sky, but the entire city of Fengcheng was extremely quiet, especially near the residences of the two powerful families, the Guo and Lin. There were very few pedestrians around, for fear of offending the two giant tigers at this time and suffering a terrible death.

Lu Lin, dressed in a black robe and concealing his aura, walked along the main road of Fengcheng. On the street, there were many cultivators dressed like him, who seemed to be heading to the same destination.

Before figuring out the identities of these people, Lu Lin would not speak to anyone. After all, the lesson he learned outside Peacock City was still fresh in his mind, and a single sentence could expose his identity and background.

The other black-robed cultivators on the road clearly thought the same way, all traveling alone without any companions.

Lu Lin quickly scanned the group of people, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was paying attention to him.

Half an hour later.

Lu Lin, dressed in a black robe, stepped into a shop and went to the front desk.

This shop is Fengcheng Auto Service Center.

The receptionist was a young female cultivator, at the second level of the Qi Refining stage. Upon seeing Lu Lin arrive, she took the initiative to ask:

"Where are you going, sir? What mode of transportation do you want to use?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Lin asked, "What options are available here?"

The woman took out a booklet and unfolded it in front of Lu Lin:

"The first is the Blazing Sun Carriage, which has a moderate speed and can travel 200 miles a day without any problem. It is also the cheapest, costing only three low-grade spirit stones for 100 miles."

The second is the Sky-Walking Sword, which is faster and can travel 500 miles a day without any problem. However, it needs to be repaired in the cities it passes through, and each repair takes half an hour. It costs six low-grade spirit stones for every 100 miles.

The third type is the Sky-Crossing Boat, which is extremely fast but also very large, requiring a specific parking space. It cannot be accommodated within Fengcheng City; passengers must first travel to a designated parking area a hundred miles away to board. The minimum distance is one thousand miles, and the cost is twenty low-grade spirit stones per person, with no guarantee of a direct journey.

Lu Lin fell into deep thought upon hearing the three options.

There's no need to consider using the Sky Ferry, as the straight-line distance between this place and the Cliff Academy branch is only five hundred li, which doesn't meet the requirements for using the Sky Ferry.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin asked, "If I choose the second option to go to the Cliffside Academy branch in Ancient Spirit City, how many cities will I have to pass through?"

The woman paused for a moment upon hearing Lu Lin's destination, then said with a hint of apology, "It requires passing through twelve cities, but... I'm sorry, there are too many cultivators heading to Ancient Spirit City at the moment, and for the next five days, we can no longer choose the second option."

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting that there would be so many cultivators going to the Cliff Academy for the assessment.

However, this is quite normal. After all, the Cliff Academy not only has assessments for spirit plant masters, but also for alchemists, weapon refiners, and a series of other assessments. With more types of assessments, there are naturally more people.

"Then we can only choose the first option." Lu Lin sighed softly.

The woman nodded slightly, then said to Lu Lin, "We will depart at 9:00 AM today. The straight-line distance from here to Ancient Spirit City is 500 li, but the actual distance is 862 li. The estimated travel time is six days, and the total cost is 27 low-grade spirit stones."

Lu Lin stroked his chin and finally agreed, neatly placing the twenty-seven low-grade spirit stones on the table.

The woman nodded slightly and took out a wooden token from behind the counter. The front of the token was engraved with the character "乙" and the back was engraved with "十六".

"Each blazing sun carriage carries two people. You are the first, and the second person will be randomly matched within half an hour." After the woman finished speaking, she gestured for Lu Lin to go through the back door to the corridor where the carriages were parked.

Lu Lin glanced at the wooden sign in his hand, then took a step and walked over.

This was his first time riding in a carriage in both his previous lives, and he wondered how it would feel.
