Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

puff!

The folding fan in his hand was like a short knife, plunging into the chest of the swordsman before him. Bright red blood gushed out from the gap between the folding fan and the wound, splashing into Lu Lin's eyes, instantly turning his eyes bloodshot.

Two corpses lay on the muddy ground. Lu Lin took a deep breath, pulled out the folding fan, shook it in the air to remove the bloodstains, and at the same time removed the world in the painting.

"The consumption of this world within the painting is a bit too great," Lu Lin murmured. In just a short while, this world within the painting had squeezed out half of the spiritual power in his Qi Sea. With his spiritual power reserves at the fourth level of Qi Refining, if he went all out, he could only maintain the world within the painting for half an incense stick's time at most.

However, although this secret technique consumes a lot of resources, its effects are also extremely powerful. Within the world of the painting, his strength was enhanced by at least 30%, which is more than twice as strong as the effect of the Star Enhancement skill.

Then Lu Lin began searching through the two corpses.

Judging from the aura emanating from these two cultivators, Lu Lin couldn't discern their origins. Presumably, even if they weren't rogue cultivators, they were merely disciples of a minor force in the cultivation world.

Surprisingly, these two cultivators were quite wealthy; they possessed their own Qiankun bags, which contained over a hundred spirit stones in total.

In addition, they also had two spirit plant seeds in their storage bags, and these two seeds showed signs of having been buried in spirit soil.

Lu Lin was curious and put the seed to his nose to smell it. His five senses had become very sensitive after being enhanced by spiritual awareness and druidic natural perception.

After collecting all the valuables from the two corpses, Lu Lin did not return to the house, but went to the carriage.

At the rear of the carriage were two large earthenware jars. He picked up a handful of soil from the jars, held it to his nose, and smelled it. It smelled exactly the same as the soil from the seeds.

"As expected, they are from the same batch of seeds. It seems they snatched them from the Kirito Escort Agency." Lu Lin looked at the two seeds in his hand, one blue and one yellowish-brown.

One is of the water element, and the other is of the earth element.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Lin planted the earth-attribute seed in the earthen pot.

As for the other water-attribute seed, Lu Lin emptied the soil from another earthenware jar, collected a large jar of rainwater while it was still raining, and planted the seed in the water.

The two seeds gradually became active, emitting a faint life force in the jar. Lu Lin used his spiritual sense to scan them, taking in the condition of the two seeds.

It must be because they were stored for a period of time before, which affected these two seeds, making their response time noticeably slower.

"However, I'm already at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so it's not impossible for me to bring them to maturity within six days." Lu Lin said, stroking his chin. Then he began to mobilize the power of nature, working in conjunction with Guji's Jia Wood power, to begin nurturing the two seeds.

[You have mobilized the power of nature to give birth to two seeds. Heart of Nature experience points +6, Divine Enlightenment experience points +6]

[As you continue performing the same actions, your experience points will continue to increase...]

The panel in front of me kept refreshing.

The experience points for the Heart of Nature and the Divine Penetration are increasing at an extremely rapid pace.

It seems that as he breaks through his realm, the rate at which his Natural Heart and Divine Enlightenment experience points increase will also increase accordingly.

Lu Lin's mind raced, and he opened the panel in front of him:

Heart of Nature lv3 (1053/5000)

[Divine Insight and Netherworld Entry Level 1 (898/1000)]

The level of "Divine Insight and Profound Enlightenment" quickly rose to level two; I wonder what the effects will be then.

Half an hour later, Lu Lin let out a long breath, ending this induced growth process. The effect of this half hour was quite remarkable; both seeds had sprouted. If they were to undergo another induced growth process tomorrow, they should be able to analyze the characteristics of these two seeds to determine what kind of spiritual plants they were.

After doing all this, Lu Lin did not return to the thatched hut, but instead rested against the carriage.

One wall of the thatched hut was smashed by the assassin, so I won't be able to sleep there. I might as well rest in the carriage for the night, since I have bedding in my storage bag.

Today, he first saved someone, then refined the legacy of his predecessor, and finally fought with two rogue cultivators of unknown origin. Lu Lin was already exhausted. As soon as he lay down in the carriage and closed his eyes, he fell asleep peacefully. A moment later, even, soft snoring could be heard in the carriage.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky, past midnight.

The rain outside the carriage stopped, the sun rose, and sunlight shone through the carriage window onto Lu Lin's face. As soon as Lu Lin opened his eyes, he felt the light was too bright to bear and raised his hand to shield his eyes.

He sat up in the carriage, and after a moment he came to his senses. He stood up in the carriage and looked out the window. The sky outside was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.

Looking further ahead, the two scorching horses that had been soaked to the bone last night were now back in full force, their coats gleaming in the sunlight, and even their faces looking spirited.

Lu Lin came to the outside of the carriage and turned to look at the thatched hut. He saw that the thatched hut had completely collapsed due to the heavy rain last night. Lu Lin's eyes flashed, and after a moment of silence, he took out two yellow talismans from his Qiankun bag and threw them at the thatched hut.

A raging fire began to burn, and in the short time it takes to burn half an incense stick, the thatched hut and the two corpses lying in the courtyard were burned to ashes, which were scattered by the wind.

Lu Lin then flicked the reins, and the two fiery steeds neighed and galloped off towards the edge of the valley. While controlling the direction, Lu Lin took out a map and examined it.

He looked up to reassess the direction, then drove the Blazing Sun Chariot at full speed toward Ancient Spirit City.

Hopefully, nothing else will go wrong along the way. Lu Lin prayed silently.

It rained all night, and the ground was incredibly muddy. The carriage bumped along, and the two large water vats inside swayed violently, splashing water everywhere.

Lu Lin glanced into the carriage and frowned, saying:

"Guji, go and help me stabilize those two jars."

Upon receiving the order, Guji immediately emerged from Lu Lin's sleeve, firmly securing the two jars in the carriage. At the same time, it released the power of Jia Wood to nurture the two seeds inside the jars.

Lu Lin only looked away after seeing this scene and returned to the map in his hand.

The map shows that there is a mountain road ahead, which is rugged and difficult to walk, but after passing through this section of the mountain road, there will be a smooth official road.

The official road was flat and smooth, which greatly increased the speed of travel.

Lu Lin memorized the general route ahead, put away the map in his hand, flicked the reins, and increased the speed of the Fiery Sun Horse.
