Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 17: Mana Fluctuation, Spiritual Root Change

Someone successfully sensed it, which delayed Zhong Cang for some time. Afterwards, he did not meditate and practice immediately, but released a blessing spell - the Wisdom of the Owl - to Li Yan, Yan Yanyan, and Feng Sheng and Dong Zheng who worked the hardest yesterday.

"call out……"

Under the blessing of the spell, Li Yan and Yan Yanyan instantly felt a coolness in their minds.

At the same time, they also have the illusion that their spirit has broken free from the constraints of the flesh and can see the outside world.

Soon, they discovered that it was not an illusion. The sudden increase in their perception attributes allowed them to actually see the spiritual particles from the outside world.

'I bet right!'

The scene before them made Li Yan and Yan Yanyan clench their fists, and their eyes were filled with tears.

When they took refuge with Zhong Cang and were ordered to plant trees for unknown reasons, both of them hesitated.

But in the end, they were unwilling to fall like other spiritual plant husbands, and they did not have the ability to rise again, so they could only pin their hopes on Zhong Cang.

And Zhong Cang did not disappoint them. Whether it was the first one to sense the spiritual energy, the divine berries he gave birth to yesterday, or the wisdom of the owl today, they all showed them Zhong Cang's methods.

What's more crucial is that Zhong Cang has only been practicing Taoism for a short time, yet he can display such miraculous abilities, and these abilities can even help them practice. This makes them no longer have any doubts about joining Zhong Cang, and all they have is loyalty.

……

Because they had their own opinions, whether it was Li Yan or Yan Yanyan, even if they felt surprised, they were able to curb the excitement in their hearts, feel their own state silently, and practice slowly.

However, they were able to control their excitement, but Feng Sheng and Dong Zheng did not have this ability.

After a cool feeling, looking at the strange colors outside, a cry of ecstasy came out of Feng Sheng's mouth.

"I saw."

"Ok?"

"What did you see?"

This loud shout attracted the attention of many people and also caused Zhong Cang to kick Feng Sheng.

"Shut up and go practice over there."

After asking Feng Sheng to calm down, Zhong Cang clasped his hands together and bowed apologetically to those around him.

"Sorry, I'll keep them under control and tell them to keep their voices down."

Seeing Zhong Cang making such a gesture, in the end, most people could only shrug their shoulders and turn their eyes away.

Even if they were dissatisfied, they would not dare to provoke Zhong Cang at this time.

Just like Hong Zhi, noticing that he looked at Zhong Cang with anger, his followers quickly grabbed him and said, "A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Boss, we don't need to bother with them. That guy can only be arrogant for a while. So what if he was the first to sense the spiritual energy? The most important thing for a cultivator is the spiritual seed and the foundation of the Tao. A spiritual farmer who digs for food in the fields can't cultivate good spiritual seeds at all. Boss, you are different. Once you breed spiritual seeds, you will definitely gain powerful magic. Then, how to control them will all depend on your wishes."

This made Hong Zhi laugh: "You're right, let them be arrogant for a while. When my spirit seed is conceived, I will definitely take revenge for the humiliation that bastard has inflicted on me."

Zhong Cang was unaware of the malice in Hong Zhi's heart, but he was not a saint who would forgive others unconditionally, and he never thought of letting the former go.

After blessing Li Yan, Feng Sheng and others with the wisdom of the owl, Zhong Cang calmed down and communicated with the ginkgo tree in a meditative state, absorbing the wood-type spiritual energy accumulated in the other party.

One thing to say is that it is not difficult for Zhong Cang now to use the wisdom of an owl for four people. If he gives his all, he can take care of more than ten people.

But even if he could do it, Zhong Cang would not do it.

The most critical factors in maintaining a small group are loyal subordinates and clear rules and regulations on rewards and punishments.

Therefore, even though Li Yan and Yan Yanyan's abilities were not particularly outstanding, Zhong Cang still made them team leaders because they were the first people to follow him and showed their loyalty.

It is still the same now. Only if you have made enough contributions to yourself will he bless you with the wisdom of an owl - random rewards will completely destroy the order of the small group and will not be conducive to the maintenance of the small group.

...Maintaining a small group was ultimately just a trivial matter for Zhong Cang, and therefore, he quickly put aside these messy thoughts, quietly meditating on the sapling, and attracting wood-type spiritual energy from all directions, pouring it into the sapling's body to allow it to grow.

What Zhong Cang didn't notice was that the fluctuations of his meditation and the fluctuations of his soul that released the wisdom of the owl were all detected by the sapling in the sea of ​​consciousness.

And because of the activation of meditation, the release of the owl's wisdom, and the visualization of the sapling, all three are in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, almost close to zero distance, allowing the sapling to absorb these fluctuations and information.

These messages also caused some changes in the growth of the saplings.

However, Zhong Cang was still unaware of all this. He was just meditating quietly and absorbing the spiritual energy.

Cultivation is a very addictive thing. After closing his eyes and opening them again, Zhong Cang found that a whole morning had passed, and it was time for them to leave Yunmo Heart Lake again.

Without an abundant spiritual environment, Zhong Cang sighed.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang felt better when he thought about returning to Huangni Village. Although he could not obtain a large amount of wood-type spiritual energy, he could gain druid experience points by planting trees and complete the tree shepherd's task.

On the way back, Zhong Cang learned from Li Yan that Chang Quan, the last person with first-class spiritual roots, also sensed the spiritual energy at around ten o'clock in the afternoon.

At this point, all the first-class spiritual roots in the class have completed the breakthrough.

This made Zhong Cang understand once again the importance of spiritual roots. However, Chang Quan's breakthrough had nothing to do with him, so Zhong Cang just sighed and didn't think about it anymore.

However, he felt that the breakthrough of the first-class spiritual roots had nothing to do with him, but when he went to Yunmo Heart Lake the next day, the Taoist children looked at him with very strange eyes.

As for the reason, after the first-class spiritual roots, many second-class spiritual roots thought that it would be their turn to make the next breakthrough.

But after practicing for the entire afternoon yesterday and a whole night, not even one of the many Taoist children with second-class spiritual roots could sense the spiritual energy.

This scene made the people in the Taoist temple realize the difference between first-class spiritual roots and second-class spiritual roots.

But because of this, Zhong Cang, who sensed the spiritual energy earlier than the first-class spiritual roots, felt even more weird.

"He really didn't cheat?"

"Second-level spiritual roots are indeed good, but he's not the only one in our class with second-level spiritual roots. Others haven't sensed spiritual energy in three days, but he sensed it on the first day. Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"Is he really a genius?"

Zhong Cang heard what others were saying, but he didn't care at all and had no intention of defending himself.

Sitting cross-legged under the ginkgo tree, Zhong Cang practiced quietly as usual.

However, three hours later, his expression fell.

After two or three days of absorbing, all the excess wood spiritual energy stored in the ginkgo tree had been absorbed by him - the ginkgo tree had not been cultivated and had no means of storing spiritual energy, so even though it had survived for eight hundred years, it did not store much spiritual energy.

Without the extra income, Zhong Cang's cultivation speed suddenly dropped three times. Therefore, he frowned while practicing that day.

But the way other people looked at him became more and more strange, and there was even a bit of respect in the strangeness.

On the third day, after a morning of practice, no one in the entire class could sense the spiritual energy.

Fortunately, there was no such thing that day. On the morning of the fourth day, there was finally a breakthrough of the second-level spiritual roots, two in a row.

On the fifth day, three people broke through in succession.

But this time, after someone broke through, the expressions of the Taoist children in Yun Mo Xinhu looking at Zhong Cang not only did not calm down, but became even more intense.

The reason for this is that the third person to break through was not the remaining Taoist boy with second-class spiritual roots, but Feng Sheng with fourth-class spiritual roots.

Yes, it was Feng Sheng who followed Zhong Cang and worked extremely hard, and was therefore rewarded by Zhong Cang.
