Druid Fairy

Chapter 68 Underwater
Three very useful skills!
【Transformation】 allows him to transform into a black bird, giving Li Pingcan the possibility of short-term flight, while transforming into a fish or a deer allows him to disguise his human identity.

Perhaps this will be an important skill for "traveling with spirit beasts" in the future.

"Now I'm really on good terms with the two brothers, Xiao Hei and his brother."

They can soar together, and even use Xiao Hei's "wind-breaking" momentum to watch Xiao Hei poop on the heads of people they don't like.

It's normal for birds to not be able to control their sphincter muscles!

Like [Water Manipulation], [Fire Control] is an elemental magic that alters existing fire and water, which reminded Li Pingcan of his past whimsical ideas.

No fuse is needed; as long as he ignites the fire, the gunpowder will explode. No matter how powerful a martial artist is, no matter how fierce, they cannot withstand a large amount of gunpowder. It is very suitable as a trump card for ambushes.

Unfortunately, gunpowder was a controlled substance in this dynasty, and purchasing it required a household registration. To obtain a large quantity of gunpowder at once, one needed to use unconventional and safe methods; otherwise, one would be summoned by the authorities.

[Increased Resistance] is even more powerful, allowing you to resist spells that grant supernatural power. Imagine an immortal chanting incantations to summon wind and rain, drawing lightning, only to have it strike a body with "full resistance" and remain completely unharmed—this would undoubtedly give you a significant advantage in magical battles!
The current [Increase Resistance] effect only lasts for 15 minutes. With each level up, the duration of the spell increases!

"Although increasing resistance is not an offensive spell, it can greatly increase my survivability, so I must pay attention to leveling it up."

Li Pingcan quickly allocated the skill refresh time.

On the panel, various skill descriptions with "[Proficiency +1]" kept appearing.

From sunrise to sunset, they worked diligently and tirelessly.

…………

The ancestral tree never blossoms.

In Li Pingcan's memory, he had never seen the peach tree's blossoms.

Springtime is vibrant, with wildflowers in full bloom.

Under the peach tree, he practiced the "Breathing of the Tree," and had now reached the fifth level. As the turbid air in his body was gradually expelled, he felt increasingly refreshed, and his spirit and blood reached their peak.

Sometimes Li Pingcan would think that perhaps it was because he had practiced Tree Breathing that his sensitivity to wood was so high.

After completing his daily training, he began to experiment with Transfiguration.

[Transfiguration Proficiency +1]

As the panel prompts changed, a bird with entirely black feathers appeared in the spot and came to the stream like a free-range chicken.

Perhaps it's true that one is influenced by one's surroundings; after spending so much time with Xiao Hei, Li Pingcan actually turned into a big black crow.

"This is so weird."

Li Pingcan subconsciously rubbed his chin with the tip of a bird's wing, pretending to be deep in thought, and looked the bird up and down.

The stream reflected the blackbird's image, and through the shimmering water, it gazed at "itself," creating a strange and eerie feeling.

He looked away; people's self-awareness was too strong, it seemed he would have to get used to it.

Under the azure sky, a gentle breeze rustled the birds' feathers, and Li Pingcan suddenly felt a strong urge to fly.

The wind lifted his body, and he gently flapped his wings. His crooked, slanted flight gradually became stable, and his perspective rose accordingly. The vast expanse of peach trees turned into a green carpet, and the smoke from the distant Peach Blossom Village soon became tiny black dots.

"Is this what it feels like to fly?"

Looking down at the earth, there is a strange sense of pleasure and comfort; no wonder one of humanity's dreams is to conquer the sky.

Li Pingcan used [Dancing Wind] to break through the resistance and fly faster and faster until the spell's duration was about to dissipate, at which point he returned to the branches of Grandpa Peach Tree.

In a quarter of an hour, he could fly fifty miles, easily crossing barriers and not being hindered by mountains and rivers. It would take Weiyuan Escort Agency four days to reach Longquan Town, but if he had enough "mana," he would only need two or three hours.

It’s so convenient.

In that instant, Li Pingcan also experienced the carefree spirit of immortals flying around.

I tried turning into a deer again.

Beside the stream, a beautiful sika deer looked at itself in the mirror from the left and then from the right, admiring its slender limbs and sturdy antlers with a satisfied expression.

The next instant, the sika deer leaped into the stream, transformed into a carp in mid-air, and playfully plunged into the water.

After experiencing the underwater world, he burst out of the stream, transformed into a bird, and proudly landed on the highest branch. The peach tree leaves rustled, seemingly very curious about the scene before them.

Li Pingcan said with a grin, "Grandpa Peach Tree, isn't my move amazing? It can fly, swim, and run fast."

"I can transform into different kinds of birds, and the most powerful one I can become right now is an eagle."

"It's a pity I can't turn into a whale, otherwise I could spray such a huge spray of water for you to see."

He flapped his feathers, making an exaggerated big circle in the air, and happily told his story.

The old peach tree listened quietly, peacefully and tolerantly. It gently gathered its leaves together to cover the heads of the chattering birds, shielding them from the scorching sunlight.

From a distance, it looks like an old man embracing his mischievous grandson, a scene of warmth and kindness.

…………

"Grandpa Peach Tree, I'm leaving now."

Li Pingcan boasted for a while, feeling cheerful and full of energy.

He carries too much untold pressure, and occasionally he needs ways to relieve his stress.

After bidding farewell to the peach tree, it transformed into a crimson-red grass-gold streak and swam into the stream.

This is a shortcut.

The streams of Peach Blossom Mountain all flow into the Hulu River, which in turn merges into a tributary of the Qingjiang River, eventually reaching the mother river of Dayu, where all rivers flow eastward into the sea.

Without needing to wag his tail, Li Pingcan drifted downstream and soon reached the Hulu River.

"I wonder if there are any salamanders left."

"Perhaps I can get involved myself and act as bait to 'fish' for fish."

You might even catch a treasure fish.

However, the Hulu River is too small, so it is rare to see salamanders and carp of the Qi and Blood type, let alone treasure fish.

Thinking of this, Li Pingcan swaggered around, flaunting his red tail, and swam nimbly towards the Qingjiang River.

Previously, the [Water Manipulation] spell alone consumed too much mana, making it difficult to persevere and venture deep into the river. Now, the [Transformation] spell allows one to transform into a fish and breathe through gills, saving a significant amount of mana, making the unknown underwater world worth exploring.

…………

Above, a vast expanse of azure water reflected the white clouds. Water plants entwined with filamentous algae drifted with the current, and a few crucian carp swam to and fro before suddenly being swept into an undercurrent.

Li Pingcan quickly roused himself and, upon reaching the confluence of the Hulu River and the Qingjiang River, unleashed his [Water Manipulation] technique.

An invisible force abruptly altered the fluctuations of the undercurrent. Beyond the undercurrent, the water suddenly changed from clear to murky, and the water temperature plummeted.

The Qingjiang River is wide and has a large flow, making it easier to stir up the silt and sand on the riverbed.

After swimming for a while, he transformed from a grass carp into a small silver carp, and only then did the river water become clear again.

In my field of vision, a clam shell opened, its soft flesh undulating, and an oddly shaped white pearl formed on the shell.

"It's quite pretty."

Li Pingcan did not disturb the wild clam; his goal was clear, and he was not bothered by mundane things.

He paused when he reached the bend in the river.

"Huh? This is..."

His fish eyes gleamed with excitement. On the dark mud, clusters of red algae grew vigorously, forming a large patch of wild blood-nourishing plants.

The underwater world is rarely visited by humans, but it also hides treasures that ordinary people can only dream of!

Those who enjoy lighthearted entertainment should take a look; this is an abstract, lighthearted cultivation novel.
