Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

The bodyguards, as expected, didn't care where Lu Lin went and let him drive the carriage away. As for the details of the transaction between Lu Lin and Sang Leng, they had even less interest in it.

Sang Ling stood beside her sister and asked, "Sister, who exactly are these robbers? They're so powerful."

Although Sang Ling had only met those people once, she could sense their strength and knew they were far beyond what they could handle. Such individuals were definitely not ordinary robbers; there must be an organization behind them.

Sang Leng said, "I don't know either, but since they're robbing goods, they're our enemies. We don't need to overthink it."

Sang Ling knew that her sister didn't know the details about those people either, so she stopped asking. But she felt a vague unease in her heart.

……

On the other side, six figures in black robes surrounded the blazing sun horse. Their faces beneath the black robes were even more somber than the robes themselves. The bandit leader stared at the two straw figures on the horse's back, the veins on the back of his bare hand bulging.

They were fooled twice by one person!

"Third brother, lock onto him!"

The black-robed cultivator turned to look at the black-robed man on his right. The man on the right was thinner and shorter, less than five feet tall.

After hearing the leader's words, the dwarf nodded slightly, opened his palm, and took out three pebbles. He muttered incantations and threw the three pebbles on the ground, forming a divination image that only he could discern as true or false.

"Boss, that kid is to our southeast." The dwarf took the straw man from the horse's back into his hand again, did some divination based on the divination, and then turned to his boss and said.

"Go kill him," the leader said in a deep voice, glancing towards the southeast.

"What should we do with that batch of goods?"

"Fifth and Sixth Brothers, you two go kill him, the rest of you come with me to rob the goods."

The fifth and sixth brothers were the weakest among them, but they still had the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, which was much stronger than the third level of Qi Refining.

The fifth and sixth brothers exchanged a glance, then simultaneously leaped from tree branches, weaving through the dense forest and heading southeast.

The third brother did the same thing again, using three pebbles to divine once more, but this time the straw figure he took was a different one.

"That woman is in the southeast-east direction from us." The third brother also used the straw figure to pinpoint Sang Ling's location.

"Let's go." The eldest brother nodded slightly and headed in a direction slightly southeast of east.

With one hand holding the reins, Lu Lin took out a map with the other and memorized the location of the inheritance site. Fortunately, this inheritance site was right on his way to Ancient Spirit City, so he didn't need to take a detour.

"Gurgle gurgle."

At this moment, Guji suddenly spoke. Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw a carriage parked on the side of the road ahead. The Lieyang horse was gone, the carriage wheels were broken, and there were three naked corpses lying next to the carriage, soaking in the mud. It looked like they had been dead for some time.

Lu Lin jumped off the carriage and took a look. All the valuables on the three men, including the money in the carriage, had been stolen. It seemed to be the work of those horse-hunting bandits.

Along the way, they had seen corpses every three steps, which was no exaggeration. This cultivation world was truly not peaceful. Lu Lin frowned, took out a fire-attribute yellow talisman from his Qiankun bag, and set fire to the three corpses and the carriage before continuing his journey.

Around noon, whether it was due to the climate of the forest or something else, thunderclouds gathered again on the horizon, and a short while later, it started to rain again.

Fortunately, the carriage had a canopy, so Lu Lin wouldn't get wet in the rain.

Soon, the road became muddy again, but this time Lu Lin was very lucky and did not encounter any more thunderstorms or frights. In fact, the journey was very smooth and uneventful.

This made Lu Lin feel somewhat at ease.

On this stretch of road, we didn't encounter any more new corpses, which was quite rare.

Lu Lin took out the map and looked at it. Half an hour had passed, and with the help of the Blazing Sun Chariot, he was now very close to the place of inheritance.

Lu Lin looked around and finally found the direction. He immediately grabbed the reins of the two fiery horses, made them turn sharply and head into the valley on the left.

This valley is the place of inheritance that Sangleng marked for him.

Sang Leng was a straightforward person; as she said, she kept her word and did not deceive Lu Lin in this matter. The moment Lu Lin stepped into the valley, a different feeling arose in his heart, and even the rain in the valley seemed to lessen.

"This feeling... is it a natural formation?" Lu Lin pondered carefully, searching through his knowledge, and was able to pinpoint the source of this anomaly.

The eighth level of Qi Refining is already considered a high-level Qi Refining cultivator. They are knowledgeable and generally understand Feng Shui. If Lu Lin's guess is correct, this valley should be a Feng Shui location with a natural Qi-gathering formation.

A path can be vaguely seen in the valley, but it is overgrown with weeds and is not easily spotted unless you look closely.

While controlling the direction, Lu Lin looked left and right. The surroundings were overgrown with weeds and wildflowers, and it looked like a desolate wilderness. If a cultivator who did not understand feng shui did not know the abnormality of this place, he would never have thought that there would be a heritage here.

The road behind the valley became increasingly difficult to traverse, so Lu Lin simply jumped off the carriage and started walking, heading towards the deepest part of the valley.

A fragrance gradually filled the air, like the scent of some kind of elixir, and even the rain could not mask this aroma.

"Guji Guji." Guji seemed to really like this environment. It took the initiative to release its vine form and jumped off Lu Lin's shoulder, darting through the dense vegetation of the valley like an elf.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Lu Lin finally came into view of something other than flowers and plants: a wooden house. The house was closed, with the door shut, and surrounded by a fence about waist-high. It didn't look like a hermitage for cultivators; it looked more like a hunter's home.

The area inside the fence seemed to have been blessed by some magical means, as there were no weeds growing inside, only a few scattered flowers.

As Lu Lin approached the courtyard gate, he could feel a repulsive force. The thatched hut was surrounded by a restriction imposed by immortals. If he forced his way in, he would be devoured by this force. Even if he managed to force his way in, most of the things inside the thatched hut would be burned to ashes.

It seems that this was a method used by the cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage when he was dying.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin took out the key that Sang Leng had given him from his Qiankun bag.

The moment the key appeared, the repulsive force vanished instantly, replaced by an attractive force.

Lu Lin stepped forward, inserted the key into the gold lock that secured the hospital gate, and gave it a slight twist—click.

The lock clicked open, and the gate creaked open with a jarring sound, indicating that no one had been there for years; the gate and frame were practically glued together.

A breeze swept through the courtyard, intensifying the fragrance of medicinal herbs in the air. It seemed there might be some extraordinary medicinal materials hidden in this thatched hut.
