If I let you become a druid, would you join the Demon Sect?

Chapter 26 The Limit of the Spirit, Missing a Predestined Person
Business is often prosperous near docks.

There are many vehicles and caravans traveling on the official road.

Everyone was amazed to see a dog driving a cart.

They walked another seven or eight miles.

Gu Yan, who was lying in the carriage, felt something.

He knocked on the carriage board and said, "Ba Liang, stop by the side of the road. I need to take a nap."

"Wang~"

Ba Liang responded, yawned, bit the reins and pulled them to the side.

The horse pulling the cart understood what he meant, moved to the side and stopped.

See Ba ​​Liang guarding the car.

Gu Yan also closed his eyes with peace of mind, and his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​​​knowledge.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the tree roots stretched out, and countless milky white lights shattered and turned into stars.

Most of these tiny dots flowed into the tree roots, causing them to grow small branches at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only a small part of them flowed into the surrounding white sea of ​​consciousness and merged into it.
With each spiritual light that merged, Gu Yan felt a comfortable coolness in his mind.

As the spiritual lights merged into him, it was like a massage on his spiritual level, and he hummed with pleasure.

Sure enough, this world is fair.

If you want to be comfortable, you still have to recharge.

I don’t know how long it took.

In reality, Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and a green light burst out. He felt that his perception ability had greatly improved. He could already cross the wide official road and directly connect to the weeds on both sides of the road. His natural sensing ability also expanded to a distance of more than 30 meters.

It is not only the range of natural induction that has been expanded.

Vaguely.

Gu Yan connected deeply and was able to sense the emotional fragments and memory fragments of the linked plant.

The emotions of weeds are simple: water, sunlight, soil...
Memory is much more complicated.

The memory of plants is completely different from that of humans.

Flipping through it is like looking at a bunch of distorted streams of light, complex garbled codes,
However, Gu Yan miraculously knew the meaning of those flowing lights and garbled codes.

For example, what is the weather like recently?

For example, what insects will eat their bodies?
Some perception.

Gu Yan felt a little tired and severed his deep connection with the weeds.

He rubbed his forehead and said, "Everything has a spirit. I never thought that even the humble weeds by the roadside could record so much information."

Deep linking is more effective than simple natural induction.

He can even use the linked weeds to observe the microscopic world around him and browse through their past memories.

However, this kind of deep linking consumes more energy than fertile soil, so it can only be used occasionally and cannot be used as a daily skill.

After the test.

Gu Yan knew that the strength of his spirit was about 1.5 times stronger than before.

But he didn't succeed in breaking through.

In the character panel, he is still a level zero druid, but the repair progress of the world tree has been greatly improved: World Tree (0.099%).

This is because both decompositions can only help him quickly reach the limit of the current stage.

It seems that the boundary between zero order and first order is 0.1%.

Gu Yan's mind moved, and his consciousness returned to the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

When he focused his thoughts on the branch that had just grown from the tree root, a new message emerged in his mind: the main spirit's status needed to break through the first level, or use the first level spirit as fuel to condense the fruit of the level.
Judging from the meaning implied by the branches, his spirit has reached the limit of level zero, and the World Tree is one with him and is therefore restricted.

This extra branch represents his current status progress.

Ordinary spirits are enough.

But if he wants to break through the level, he must either break through the first level with his own spirit, or obtain a first-level spirit from the outside world as fuel.

Gu Yan currently has no method of spiritual cultivation, so he can only take the latter path.

Distance to breaking through.

He still lacks a destined person.

Consciousness returns to the body.

Gu Yan stared at the top of the carriage in a daze: "Level zero represents mortals, and Level one. The old Taoist Nian Yun who was killed by me should not have reached the first level. Then where can I find a first-level spirit? I won't have to look for those people from aristocratic families, right?" He felt a little annoyed when he thought of this possibility.

Disciples like Taoist Nianyun all have automatic protective jade pendants that can withstand the close-range explosion of four earthen detonators. Those people from aristocratic families probably have even more treasures, and may even have the immortal ability to fly in the air and ride on clouds.

Gu Yan shook his head.

Don't say kill.

He now doesn't know how to find those people from the aristocratic families.

"Forget it, one step at a time. If it really doesn't work out, I can follow the path of Qingyun Temple and join the Qian family of Guang'an Prefecture. That would also be an option. Not only would I be able to choose my targets, but I would also be able to learn more about the extraordinary people in this world."

Thinking of this, Gu Yan stopped having wild thoughts.

He kicked the carriage and said, "Ba Liang, keep going."

"Wang~"

Ba Liang yawned, flicked his tail, and swung the whip to hit the buttocks of the horse pulling the cart.

Lao Ma was tactful and slowly pulled the cart back to the main road and continued forward.

The carriage was not moving very fast.

It was not until dusk that they had walked a total of forty or fifty miles.

The farther away from the pier, the more desolate the area around the official road becomes.

In addition, due to the lack of maintenance, there are potholes everywhere.

The carriage would shake every two steps, and it was not a pleasant experience to sit in it.

Gu Yan simply asked Balian to stop.

He planned to stay here overnight.

There is no trace of human habitation here anymore.

The terrain on both sides of the official road is mostly hilly and barren, with dense weeds. Under the wine-red afterglow of the sunset, you can see the miasma rising and rolling from the distant forest hills like clouds and fog.

There were a few crows perched on a crooked tree by the roadside.

They were staring at the miasma forest carefully, and when a small animal came out with fruit, they would rush over and snatch the fruit from the other animal.
Ordinary people might feel uneasy when looking at such a scene.

Gu Yan was quite adaptable.

He saw the crows sharing the fruit, smiled, and called Balian to pick up some dry wood and grass to make a fire. Then he picked up a few stones and disappeared by the roadside.

When Gu Yan came back, he had a few fat pheasants and rabbits in his hands.

Animals in autumn are all fat.

Eat it roasted and sprinkled with some seasoning, it is very fragrant.

Ichiban cuisine.

The man and the dog were eating with their mouths full of oil.

Ba Liang ate quickly and finished it in a short while.

Seeing Gu Yan still slowly tearing the strips of meat to savor, it chewed the remaining bones and was reluctant to swallow them: "Woof woof woof (The food outside is still delicious)."

Gu Yan glanced at it and said: "It's delicious, then why don't you eat the internal organs?"

The mountain dog's preference for blood food was not seen at all here.

Ba Liang puffed out his chest, his dog-face proud: "Woof woof! (Ba Liang is reading the Taoist scriptures!)"

It is not an ordinary dog, but a cultural dog that has been educated in a Taoist temple.

How can a cultured dog do such an uncultured thing as eating raw blood?

"Oh."

Gu Yan licked his fingers and said, "Then mark the surrounding area to prevent wild animals from disturbing your sleep at night."

"Wang~"

Eight taels of response came down.

It swallowed the bone residue in its mouth, came to the side, raised its hind legs, and began to happily mark the water.
Seeing this, Gu Yan chuckled.

Isn’t this still a dog, hehe.

It took another two days.

On the fourth day, the man and the dog finally arrived at the border of Sanxian County.
