Chapter 5 Notting Junior Academy?
Shi Lin sat cross-legged on his bed, closed his eyes to rest and adjust his state, preparing to begin his cultivation.
Although Shi Lin was not a cultivator in his previous life, the cultivation system in Douluo Continent is relatively simple; it only requires absorbing the soul power in the surrounding air into one's own body.
As for sensing soul power, Shi Lin had already successfully sensed its existence during the soul power level test. As long as he could draw the surrounding soul power into his body, he would have successfully cultivated it.
After a few minutes, Shi Lin felt that he was in good condition, so he took a deep breath and began to absorb the surrounding soul power.
Shi Lin could clearly sense the surrounding soul power, and then he tried his best to use the soul power in his body to attract this soul power into his dantian.
Shi Lin's innate soul power level is only level three, so he is not very attractive to the surrounding soul power, and the soul power that enters his body will leak out of his body!
After cultivating for half an hour, Shi Lin sighed in frustration. His cultivation speed was simply too slow.
"It seems that this level three talent is really lacking. If it weren't for the Divine Wood King Cauldron Spirit that I awakened, my future would be bleak," Shi Lin muttered irritably.
Shi Lin rested for a while, then took the wine Gu out of his pocket and placed it on his dantian.
Although the wine Gu didn't have suction cups, it stuck firmly to Shi Lin's skin.
The wine Gu will not fall off unless you tear it forcefully.
"Little guy, try it out!" Shi Lin patted the wine Gu on his lower abdomen and said with a smile.
Shi Lin slowly closed his eyes and entered a meditative state once again.
With the addition of the wine Gu, Shi Lin could clearly feel the surrounding soul power becoming more active, moving towards Shi Lin's body at a much faster speed than before.
This speed is significantly faster than Shi Lin's own cultivation.
Moreover, the soul power that Shi Lin cultivated was not directly injected into his dantian. This soul power was first drawn into the body of the wine Gu, where it was purified and refined before being injected into Shi Lin's dantian.
Half an hour later, Shi Lin slowly opened his eyes, his face full of joy.
"That's fantastic!" Shi Lin felt the pure soul power in his dantian and a bright smile appeared on his face.
My cultivation speed has increased by at least 30%!
Moreover, one's soul power must be even purer.
In other words, Shi Lin's soul power is more durable and more effective than that of others!
This is only a low-grade wine Gu. If I could obtain a top-grade wine Gu or a wine Gu of a higher grade, my cultivation speed would probably be faster than that of a soul master with innate full soul power!
"My little darling, my future dominance in the Douluo Continent depends on you!" Shi Lin removed the wine Gu from his lower abdomen and said with a smile.
After cultivation, the wine Gu did not become weak at all; on the contrary, its body became even whiter and more translucent. It felt that while cultivating with the wine Gu, the wine Gu would also benefit.
"Before reaching level ten, I can still contract two auxiliary Gu worms. There shouldn't be any need for combat in the short term. I'll also refine two wine Gu worms to fully boost my cultivation speed. As for the other Gu worms, I still need to figure out how to refine them." Shi Lin stroked his chin and formulated his next plan.
Shi Lin glanced at the bamboo worms in the basket and suddenly realized that the bamboo worms had already crawled out of the basket and were crawling all over the ground!
"What a disaster!" Shi Lin looked at the big, white, plump worm and helplessly covered his face.
That's disgusting.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Young Master, are you up yet?" came the voice of Shi Lin's personal servant, Shi An, from outside the door.
Shi An was a slave that Shi Zhen bought when Shi Lin was just born. He was six years older than Shi Lin. His Spirit was a rhinoceros, which was mainly defensive. His soul power level was 16. His main job was to take care of Shi Lin's daily life and protect Shi Lin's safety.
"Come in quickly and help catch the bugs!" Shi Lin hurriedly said to Shi An at the door.
"Insects?" Shi An was taken aback for a moment, then pushed open the door and walked in.
Shi An is now twelve years old, 1.8 meters tall, and has a robust build like an iron tower. You can't tell he's only twelve.
Shi An felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the insects all over the ground, but he still gritted his teeth and squatted down, putting the insects one by one into his basket.
Shi Lin wasn't idle either; he got out of bed and helped clean up the insects.
After a while, the two of them finally put all the insects on the ground into their baskets.
"Brother An, what do you want?" Shi Lin took out a few books to cover the basket, sat down on the ground, turned around and asked Shi An.
"Young Master, Master said you should go see him after you wake up," Shi An said to Shi Lin with a simple and honest expression, scratching his head.
"Dad's looking for me? Okay, I'll change my clothes and head over right away." Shi Lin looked at Shi An with a puzzled expression, then turned around, went to the wardrobe, took out a simple new set of clothes, changed, and left his room, heading towards Shi Zhen's study.
Shi Lin didn't stand on ceremony. He went to the door of the study, pushed it open, and went inside.
"Son, how was your rest? Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Shi Zhen stood up, came to Shi Lin's side, and asked him with a smile.
"I feel much better after a nap. By the way, Dad, what did you ask my brother An to call me about?" Shi Lin smiled honestly, then scratched his head and asked Shi Zhen.
"It's good that you're alright. Here's the thing, I was thinking of having you attend Notting Junior Academy. I'd like to ask for your opinion." Shi Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing that Shi Lin was alright, and then asked Shi Lin.
"Notting Junior Academy?" Shi Lin scratched his head.
When Shi Lin first learned that this was Notting City, he knew that Notting Junior Academy was located here, and that Tang San and Xiao Wu met here.
Shi Lin really didn't want to get involved with Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Grandmaster. From the bottom of his heart, Shi Lin felt that the Spirit Hall was pretty good, much better than Shrek Academy later on.
However, to become a top-tier Soul Master, a theoretical foundation is essential, so going to school is a must.
Another reason is that after starting school, you can invite the Academy's teachers to help you kill soul beasts and obtain soul rings.
Apart from Shi An, no one else in the Shi family is a Soul Master, and Shi An's Soul Skills are mainly defensive, so there is basically no possibility of him killing a hundred-year-old Soul Beast.
"Son, Notting Junior Academy is already the best junior Academy in the area," Shi Zhen said, seeing that Shi Lin was still hesitating.
"I'll go!" Shi Lin looked up at Shi Zhen, then nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Shi Lin readily agreed, Shi Zhen nodded in satisfaction.
"School starts in five days. Here are 100 gold soul coins. Buy whatever you want and play whatever you want before school starts. If you don't have enough money, ask your old man for more!" Shi Zhen took out a money bag full of gold soul coins from his pocket and placed it in Shi Lin's hand.
"Father, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Shi Lin smiled at Shi Zhen, holding the money bag, and then left the study.
"Oh my, our Shi family has finally produced a Soul Master! Hehe, we still need to expand the pig farm!" Shi Zhen looked at Shi Lin's back with joy in his heart and eyes. He thought that Soul Masters were expensive, so he would open more pig farms to make money.
