Cultivation: Start with a Spiritual Plant Space

At this moment, a rumor suddenly spread in the college.

"Li Fan's breakthrough was entirely due to the Holy Lotus of Rebirth. His combat abilities are superficial and he is not worthy of participating in the spiritual plant level assessment."

This rumor initially spread quietly among some low-level disciples.

But soon, like a prairie fire, it spread rapidly and unstoppably among the senior disciples and mentors.

Some monks who were already jealous of Li Fan began to spread the news recklessly and even exaggerated it.

"Li Fan's strength is entirely built up from external things. He can't stand the test of actual combat at all."

The vivid description made the rumor more realistic.

Some instructors also began to doubt Li Fan's peak Jindan strength.

After all, Li Fan's breakthrough speed is really jaw-dropping.

In such a short period of time, he jumped directly from the early stage of Jindan to the peak of Jindan.

It's really beyond common sense and unbelievable.

The miraculous effects of the Holy Lotus of Rebirth made some people feel that his strength was not entirely dependent on his own practice.

This really makes people feel uncomfortable.

Li Fan soon learned about the rumor.

He gently stroked the petals of a holy lotus of rebirth in his hand, with a sneer on his face.

Once this rumor spreads, it is difficult to eliminate its impact in a short period of time.

Obviously, someone is deliberately confusing the public.

That day, Li Fan happened to meet two disciples on the path of the academy who were talking about the rumor in vivid detail.

Li Fan stopped and stared at them coldly.

"Gossiping behind people's backs isn't much of a skill. If you've got what it takes, let's face it in the ring!"

The two disciples were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they dared not say another word.

"Strength is cultivated through one's own practice, not through the words of others. If you show your strength, people will shut up."

Li Fan didn't mind it too much, but was secretly thinking in his heart who was behind it.

at the same time.

After Xiao Jingyan learned about this rumor, he was secretly delighted.

He already hated Li Fan with a vengeance, and now he heard such rumors.

I felt that I had paid too much attention to Li Fan before, which was a waste of time.

He couldn't help but brag about it around the academy, saying to everyone he met with a beaming expression, "Have you heard? Li Fan's strength is entirely supported by the Holy Lotus of Rebirth. He's completely vulnerable."

Xiao Jingyan's words and actions attracted the attention of the surrounding monks.

Some people who were already skeptical of Li Fan began to echo his words.

This made Xiao Jingyan even more complacent.

He even declared in front of everyone, "Just wait, during the spiritual plant level assessment, I will definitely make Li Fan reveal his true form and let everyone see how miserable he is!"

Zhou Yun was very worried when he heard the rumor.

Find Li Fan in a hurry.

"Li Fan, have you heard? Rumors are spreading throughout the academy that your strength is exaggerated."

Li Fan patted Zhou Yun on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, rumors stop at the wise. I know my own strength. As long as I show my true strength in the assessment, they will naturally shut up."

Li Fan nodded slightly, looking calm, not really concerned.

At this time, Zhou Yun turned around and took out an antique wooden box.

The wooden box is carved with mysterious patterns, exuding the breath of time.

He gently opened the wooden box, and inside lay a piece of wood emitting a faint glow.

Thousands of years of soul-nurturing wood.

This piece of wood is crystal clear, like a beautiful jade, emitting a soft and warm light, as if it has life.

Zhou Yun carefully took out the ten thousand year old soul-nourishing wood and gently stroked its surface.

The surface of the wood is smooth and delicate, and feels warm to the touch.

He remembered that in the secret realm, this piece of soul-nourishing tree once emitted a special aura.

At that time, I just thought that this piece of wood was different, so I took it back to the college.

He handed it to Li Fan and said, "I got this piece of wood from the secret realm. It's called the Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood. Perhaps it can help nourish your Sacred Lotus of Rebirth."

Li Fan took the wooden box, opened it and saw that there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He gently touched the ten thousand year old soul-nourishing tree and felt the gentle yet powerful spiritual power contained within it.

The spiritual power flowed into the fingertips like a gurgling stream.

He raised his head, looked at Zhou Yun, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you!"

After returning to the room, Li Fan placed the Ten Thousand Year Soul-Nourishing Wood on the table.

The light emitted by the wood illuminated the entire room, like a dream.

He closed his eyes and began to try to merge his spiritual power with the Holy Lotus of Rebirth.

The moment the spiritual powers came into contact with each other, a powerful force surged in his body.

The Holy Lotus of Rebirth blooms with brilliant light, its petals spread out and the light overflows.

The spiritual power of the Ten Thousand Years Soul-Nourishing Tree is like a trickle of water, constantly nourishing the Holy Lotus.

Each petal of the holy lotus became more crystal clear and its light became more intense.

His soul also became tougher and stronger under the nourishment of this spiritual power.

Both the body and mind are greatly relieved and improved.

Li Fan opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

You can clearly feel that the spiritual power is more stable.

The power of the Holy Lotus of Rebirth also became more concentrated.

He took a deep breath and put all distracting thoughts behind him.

Tomorrow is the day of the spiritual plant level assessment, and he will use his strength to prove that all the rumors are nonsense.

The next day, when the first rays of morning sun shone on the square of the academy, the spiritual plant level assessment finally began.

The square was crowded and bustling.

The dean was dressed in a white robe, with an immortal look. He looked deeply at the disciples who were about to take the test, with expectation and majesty on his face.

Venerable Duanya stood quietly by the side, his posture as straight as a pine tree and his aura as deep as the sea.

The sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, making people dare not look directly at them.

The instructors were also on high alert, with serious and solemn expressions.

The disciples were either nervous or excited.

Some clenched their fists, while others communicated in low voices.

Their eyes showed anticipation for the test and a hint of uneasiness.

Xiao Jingyan stood in the crowd with an arrogant look on his face, and his eyes swept towards Li Fan from time to time, declaring that he was sure of victory.

Li Fan had a calm expression, with only determination and confidence in his eyes.

Zhou Yun cheered Li Fan on with a concerned look on his face.

In the corner of the crowd, some low-level disciples stretched their necks and looked around curiously.

I secretly envisioned the scene of taking the exam in the future.

At this time, Dongfang Yu, who came from one of the four great families, was dressed in green, with a stern face and a family heirloom jade pendant hanging around his waist.

His eyes were determined and he was determined to pass this test.

Beitang Xue from one of the four great families was dressed in white as white as snow, with a hint of coldness on her beautiful face.

She is the leader of the younger generation of the four great families, and she came here to show the glory of her family.

There is also Nan Feng from the four major families, dressed in gorgeous brocade robes.

Holding a folding fan in his hand, a confident smile played on his lips.

His talent in spiritual plants is also well-known among the four major families.

And Ximen Hao from the four major families, who has a burly figure and a domineering look in his eyes.

He is also one of the geniuses that the family focuses on cultivating.

These geniuses from aristocratic families are all heroic and stand out in the crowd.

Their appearance made this assessment even more suspenseful.
