Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 62 Talent Awakening, Pet Advancement

Wisdom is the most important thing for a living being. Why are flowers, plants and trees slow in cultivation? It is because their spirituality is low and they have no wisdom. They can only absorb the essence of heaven and earth instinctively and passively, and will not take the initiative. Therefore, their cultivation will naturally be very slow.

But if you open your spiritual wisdom, everything will be different.

As for Zhong Cang, his spiritual awakening has certain limitations - it must be an ancient tree that has experienced a long time, or a tree with special experiences, so that there are enough and high-quality memories for Zhong Cang to burn.

But for Zhong Cang, this is still an extremely powerful ability... the ability that allows him to gather a large number of subordinates.

"After the trees awaken their spiritual intelligence, their cultivation speed is already quite fast, their strength is not weak either, and they possess all sorts of unique abilities. For example, the Yuanling Tree gathers spiritual energy, the Stardust Bamboo absorbs the light of the stars and moon, and the Drunken Immortal Peach has a hallucinogenic power... If I can gather them all, they will be of great use to me, both in managing my territory and in battling my enemies."

"More importantly, by granting them intelligence, I am like their 'father'. Spirit trees are pure-minded. Unless something unexpected happens, they will never betray me..."

The more he thought about it, the more Zhong Cang felt that Qi Ling had a great future.

……

Among the three talents available to the tree shepherd, Lord of the Sea of ​​Trees and Awakening of the Spirit are both very strong, and the third one is also not weak, its name is Memory Fluid.

The specific feature is that it allows Zhong Cang to abandon his physical body and transform into a memory soul form.

Because he has no physical body, Zhong Cang can freely parasitize on flowers, plants, trees, and even other people's bodies.

"I'm very difficult to kill now... and my transformation doesn't need to happen immediately. If I encounter a major crisis, I can transform again. This gives me an extra life."

This ability is actually quite good, as it reduces Zhong Cang's countless weaknesses.

However, without much thought, Zhong Cang gave up on it.

"The way of ghost immortals is not what I seek."

The Lord of the Sea of ​​Trees had many abilities that were duplicated with the Soul-Boiling Moss, and Zhong Cang did not want to choose the Ghost Immortal Way of the Memory Flow. Therefore, in the end, Zhong Cang chose the Awakening of Spirits as the core talent of his tree shepherd.

"boom!"

As Zhong Cang made the decision, he instantly discovered that the memory power in his body had undergone a transformation and possessed some magical properties.

What made Zhong Cang's eyes widen even more was that it might be because he had transformed into the Memory Tree, or it might be because of the work of his own spirit seeded small tree.

In short, the original awakening of the spirit could only burn the memory of the tree and transform the power of these memories into the spirituality of the tree.

But now, Zhong Cang can also burn the power of his memory and turn his thoughts, even some strange fantasies, into a special power for the trees to open their spiritual intelligence.

And because of the permanent nature of memory, the burning of this memory power will not consume Zhong Cang's own memory, but will only weaken his soul for a period of time.

"That's good, but I don't know if transferring my memory, or my thoughts, to others can change their memories or personalities..."

"For example, if we transmit a large amount of scientific knowledge and theories to spiritual flowers and herbs, and add some character settings, can we transform them into trees that actively conduct scientific research?"

……

While imagining some strange things, Zhong Cang's advancement was completed.

At this moment, on the system panel, Zhong Cang's attributes have changed to:

[Real name: Zhong Cang]

[Age: fifteen]

[Profession: 5 Druid/Tree Shepherd (73/5000)]

[Class Abilities: Plant Language, Meditation, Nature Knowledge, Nature Affinity, Plant Incarnation, Pet Contract (Tess), Wild Transformation (Memory Tree) (Space), Traceless Step, Ritual Sanctuary, Wild Identity]

[Spells: Godberry, Plant Growth, Owl's Wisdom, Blank Spell Slot (Second Ring) (Third Ring)]

In addition to the changes happening within herself, as Zhong Cang's spiritual pet, Tess underwent a tremendous transformation because of her soul connection with Zhong Cang and his promotion.

[Contract Pet Tess]

[Level: Level 5 (Intermediate Monster)] [Innate Abilities: Parasitism, Soul Devouring...Symbiosis]

As the natal spirit pet, the most obvious change for Tess is the upgrade of her level, or the elevation of her status.

Previously, Tess's level was fixed at level four, and her status was just that of a small demon. As such, she had her own growth limit... If she spread spores again at that time, those spores would have no direct subordinate relationship with her after they germinated.

But now it’s different. After her status was raised, Tess’s upper limit was broken and she can expand her area again.

As for how much it can expand, Zhong Cang doesn't know now.

At the same time, after its status is raised, it can not only expand its own reproduction area, but its parasitic talent, soul-devouring talent, and the speed and quality of refining spiritual energy will also be improved.

However, Zhong Cang didn't take all of this seriously.

At this moment, Zhong Cang was more concerned about his new talent - symbiosis.

"Is this what I thought it was?"

The problem that had troubled him for a long time seemed to be easily solved. This unexpected surprise suddenly appeared in front of Zhong Cang, making him feel unbelievable.

He was in disbelief, but the simple Tess didn't have so many thoughts. After discovering a gentle and enjoyable power coming from her master, she suddenly "grew up", which made Tess very excited.

"嘤嘤......"

She was cheerful, shaking with joy, while following her instincts, spreading spores and expanding her limits.

While expanding, she suddenly thought of something and spread some spores on the grain seeds that Zhong Cang gave her.

The next moment, these spores germinated into hyphae and "parasitized" the grain seeds.

But what is different from the past is that the spores that parasitize the grain seeds no longer greedily plunder the nutrients of the grain seeds and feed on them. Instead, the two are combined together, turning the grain seeds into a green seed.

"嘤嘤......"

After doing all this, Tess immediately reported to Zhong Cang excitedly and begged for his praise.

Zhong Cang would naturally not be stingy about this.

"Well done."

While giving her a thumbs up to praise her, Zhong Cang injected life force into her body to accelerate her growth, which was also Zhong Cang's 'reward'.

After comforting Tess, Zhong Cang took out the "symbiotic" grain seeds and scattered them in the spiritual fields and the wasteland outside.

He wanted to see whether these grain seeds planted in the wasteland could grow, sprout, ear and bear fruit.

While planting, Zhong Cang had infinite expectations in his heart.

As for the fact that Tess didn't know how to merge originally but now suddenly knows how to merge, this may seem strange, but it is not.

Life in nature is a miracle, and there are many things that life itself does not know.

Just like in the previous life, with the intelligence of chameleons, it is impossible for them to know how their bodies change color, but this does not affect their evolution of the ability to camouflage and change color, and they can use it.

Similarly, bats' intelligence is such that they cannot understand sonic technology, but this does not prevent them from using it.

There are also birds that can determine directions based on magnetic fields. Zhong Cang also doesn't believe that birds know anything about magnetic fields.

All of the above shows that life is a miracle.

And since ordinary creatures in the previous life could perform such miraculous things, there is nothing wrong with Tess, who possesses the power of parasitism and has evolved the ability of fusion and symbiosis.
