Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 16 Level Up, Level 3 Druid
"What the hell?"

A series of progress prompts made Zhong Cang a little confused.

It was not until he arrived outside the village and discovered that under the moonlight, many of the Taoist children who followed him did not rest, but were carrying buckets and iron shovels and rushing towards the barren mountains that he understood the reason.

"I was secretly working hard in the middle of the night..."

This scene surprised Zhong Cang and made him even more moved.

To express his gratitude, he also rushed to the barren mountain and used the power of spring and the power of nature to give birth to dozens of magical berries.

When handing over the magic berry to Li Yanzhi, who was in charge of all this, Zhong Cang secretly upgraded himself in the barren mountains.

"Buzz!"

Just like before, Zhong Cang received another baptism of nature when he was promoted, and his physical and perceptual attributes were also improved.

Especially the latter, as a core attribute, it increases significantly when its level is upgraded.

After his perception increased, Zhong Cang was pleasantly surprised to find that he could not only communicate more clearly with plants, but he could also sense spiritual energy from farther away and attract them when meditating.

'No wonder Druids prioritize Perception; it's a very useful attribute indeed.'

In addition to the increase in the attributes of natural baptism, there are two other benefits for Zhong Cang after the promotion.

There's nothing much to say about the first one, except that it has an extra spell slot and you can choose a second-level spell.

In order to fulfill his promise and help his devoted followers, Zhong Cang unsurprisingly chose the spell of Owl's Wisdom.

'This spell is not only useful for others, but also for me... I cast Owl's Wisdom before meditation to increase my perception. I can then attract spiritual energy from farther away, which increases the efficiency of my mana accumulation.'

The Owl's wisdom was a benefit, but the second benefit of his advancement was, naturally, the wilderness transformation.

After reaching level three, Zhong Cang officially unlocked the most important ability of a druid, transforming into a wilderness creature.

And because of his plant incarnation, Zhong Cang can not only choose from animals such as bears, wolves, lions, tigers, and leopards, but can also transform into some plants and trees.

"Unfortunately, after the game becomes reality, I can't transform successfully just by clicking on a skill."

Relying on the information obtained during the promotion, Zhong Cang discovered that if he wanted to complete the wilderness transformation, he needed to first familiarize himself with the characteristics and body structure of creatures such as bears, wolves, lions, tigers, and leopards.

After realizing this, he would hold a ceremony facing the moon on a full moon night using scraps of animals or plants, such as teeth, claws, hair, branches, etc.

Once the ritual is complete, he can transform into the corresponding creature.

In addition, Wild Shape has another limitation - at level 3, the druid's level is not high and the mysticism is too low.

As such, he can only transform into an ordinary creature and cannot become an extraordinary creature, let alone a mythical creature.

"I remember that druids can transform into dragons, but that only requires a level 20 legend to do so. I'm not qualified yet."

"What a shame! I wanted to transform into a dragon and have some fun."

Zhong Cang did feel a little regretful that he could not transform into a dragon, but he still had ideas about the option of transforming in the wilderness for the first time. And this time, he was not going to choose an ordinary creature, but an extraordinary spiritual plant.

"Based on common sense, a third-level druid cannot choose a transcendental creature as a transformation option."

"But I'm not ordinary. I once had an epiphany and visited the plant realm, something only high-level, even legendary druids, can do. Besides being a druid, I'm also a monk. Therefore, I'm quite mysterious. If the extraordinary creature I choose matches my attributes, I have a chance of successfully transforming."

This is also the reason why Zhong Cang chose extraordinary spiritual plants instead of extraordinary creatures.

Whether it is the Spirit Plant Husband's Four Seasons and Time Wheel Sutra, the Seed of Spring, or the Druid's Plant Realm, the unactivated Tree Shepherd profession is all related to plants.

In order to reduce the burden and successfully transform, Zhong Cang would naturally choose from among the extraordinary plants.

"But even if it's an extraordinary spiritual plant, I still need some reference and be familiar with its structure... If you have time in a few days, go to the Youyun Chamber of Commerce. They should have the extraordinary plants I want." After receiving the message, Zhong Cang was promoted to the third level of Druid, and his attribute panel also underwent a huge change.

……

After the advancement, Zhong Cang worked with everyone else for half the night, but in the end, in order not to delay the next day's practice, Zhong Cang sent all his followers back to rest.

Thanks to the magic berries, Zhong Cang's followers were still full of energy when they woke up the next day.

However, they were busy at night and it was difficult for them to wash their clothes. As a result, when Zhong Cang and others went to the Taoist temple to practice the next day, many people's clothes were stained with dirt.

This also attracted some strange looks and secret sneers.

Well, the reason why they only sneered in secret instead of mocking and driving him away in person was that Zhong Cang’s strong counterattack yesterday and the subsequent display of his talent shocked a large group of people.

Ignoring the strange looks from others, Zhong Cang took Li Yan and Yan Yanyan and sat back under the ginkgo tree.

"call……"

Returning to a place with abundant natural spiritual energy, Zhong Cang breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he even had a comfortable feeling of returning from a "dry" desert to a suitable oasis.

"It's still more comfortable here... But as nice as this place is, it's not mine after all... I remember that druids have rituals that rely on forests, stars, and moons to create sanctuaries. I could find a way to build a sanctuary to aid my cultivation."

While Zhong Cang was daydreaming, Vice President Qin Xiuye ​​came over.

His arrival also made Yun Mo's heart quiet again.

Before Zhong Cang could concentrate on his cultivation, two voices rang out from below almost simultaneously.

"Master Dean, I sense spiritual energy."

"I've broken through my sensing ability and can now draw Qi into my body."

Looking up, Zhong Cang discovered that the ones who said they could sense spiritual energy were another talented girl, Qi Wei, and a rich young man, Jin Cheng, whose origins were unknown.

Their breakthrough caused a stir in the class, and Zhong Cang also felt a little moved.

"Spiritual roots are indeed the most important talent in the early stages. They are the communication link between humans and nature. Good spiritual roots make it easier for people to sense spiritual energy than ordinary people."

While Zhong Cang was sighing, the old Taoist Qin Xiuye ​​also checked the progress of the two. Afterwards, he did not tell who was first and who was second, but instead determined that both of them were ranked third and could get the third place reward.

This scene allowed Zhong Cang to see the authority of Vice President Qin Xiuye, and he also understood that the teachers in the academy might be very strict with ordinary Taoist children.

But when facing some geniuses, the teachers are willing to discuss things and treat them with a friendly attitude.

"Sure enough, as long as you are talented enough, you will find that there are good people everywhere in the world."

Seeing this situation, Zhong Cang decided not to hide himself in the future, but to find a way to become a genius, so that he could get protection.
