Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 21 Preparing for Wilderness Transformation
In the room, Shuang Lingxue looked at him with the eyes of a noble celebrity and a wise gentleman, which made Zhong Cang feel very uncomfortable.

Zhong Cang: "Ahem, you're too polite..."

He doesn't want such a title, and he feels that he is not worthy of it.

In the room, Zhong Cang and Shuang Lingxue had another conversation.

Finally, at Zhong Cang's insistence, the two agreed on some contracts.

The contract stated that Shuang Lingxue supported his research on high-yield and cold-resistant grain varieties, and most of the research results would belong to the other party.

And Shuang Lingxue had to support himself with a large sum of money. Of course, the contract clearly stated that this money could only be used as research funds.

However, anyone who has done scientific research projects knows that normal research is research, and going to other places for exchanges, buying precious equipment, and even paying salaries to yourself and students are all considered research.

As for Zhong Cang, although he would not spend money recklessly, he would buy some auxiliary tools, spiritual medicines, spiritual plants, or improve his scientific research capabilities by improving his own strength. No one could object to his behavior.

After the agreement, Shuang Lingxue immediately handed over all the money she had to Zhong Cang.

Because she didn't have enough money, she called Zuo He in and asked him to give all the money to Zhong Cang.

"Wait, we give money to Zhong Cang and give him all the money?"

Zuo He came in and was relieved to see that his young lady was fine. But soon, he heard his young lady's instructions, and then he was dumbfounded.

He was not the only one who was dumbfounded. Li Yan, who had been following Zuo He, also stared blankly with his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief when he saw Shuang Lingxue's enthusiastic attitude towards Zhong Cang.

'hiss……'

'How did you do that, Boss?'

"In just a cup of tea, he made a noble lady give up everything for him... I really want to learn from him."

At this moment, Li Yan even lost interest in practicing Taoism and only wanted to learn this skill.

Li Yan had misunderstood, and so did Zuo He - it was not their fault, it was just that in this era, although investment existed, it was still quite rare.

There were two boys and girls of the same age. For no apparent reason, the latter suddenly gave his all to the former, which made them unable to think of anything else except the romantic love.

Because they were following different people, Li Yan and Zuo He naturally had different attitudes towards this scene.

Li Yan was full of admiration and thought that Zhong Cang was really amazing as he could make a noble lady spend money on him.

As for Zuo He, he felt that his lady had suffered a great loss.

Not only did the noble lady like a poor boy, but she also had to give him a large amount of money, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

What made him tremble even more was that his eldest young master had sternly warned him several times to keep an eye on his young lady's friendships and not let her be deceived or bullied.

But now, everything is over. In Zuo He's opinion, his young lady's heart has been deceived by someone.

Thinking of the punishment he was about to receive, Zuo He shuddered and shouted at Zhong Cang:

"Zhong Cang, how dare you..."

He was angry and wanted to make amends by beating Zhong Cang up.

However, before he could vent his anger, a cold breath sounded in the room.

"Shut up, Zuo He, don't be rude to Mr. Zhong Cang!"

Looking at Shuang Lingxue standing in front of him, Zuo He's face was filled with tears but he felt helpless.

"Miss, you have been deceived."

"I wasn't deceived. I did all this voluntarily..." Before she finished speaking, she realized that there was some objection to this sentence. This made her face blush at first, but soon, she said quietly: "Zuo He, I am very happy that you defend me, but I am the lady, you have to listen to me."

"……Yes!"

Zuo He could not refute this.

In this way, he could only watch with frustration as Shuang Lingxue took out her money and gave it all to Zhong Cang.

After finding that it was not enough, she even prepared to go home to get money.

Fortunately, this matter was stopped by Zhong Cang.

"Don't be so anxious. This won't be done overnight. You can just send the money tomorrow. Besides, you'll also need to take care of the land lease."

"Well, since it's your decision, Mr. Zhong, then we'll see you tomorrow."

There was a glimmer of hope that her dream would be fulfilled, and she had heard some new knowledge that challenged her worldview. Such novel and joyful things made Shuang Lingxue want to discuss the great cause with Zhong Cang all night long.

In this situation, she was naturally very reluctant to leave, and she looked back every few steps.

This scene was seen by Zuo He and Li Yan, which naturally deepened their misunderstanding.

Especially Zuo He, looking at Zhong Cang, the former was already gritting his teeth, and was very frightened, not knowing how to tell his eldest son.

He was worried, and so was Li Yan. After Shuang Lingxue and Zuo He left, he reminded them with a worried look on his face:
"You conquered a noble lady in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Boss, I'm truly impressed. But you have to be careful, Boss. Even if that noble lady likes you, her family may not. They might very well break up the couple... Bang!"

Before he could finish his words, he was hit hard.

"What are you thinking? Don't spread rumors or fabricate them. Our relationship is innocent. She's not giving me money to support me. We're doing something legitimate."

"...Boss is right, we are doing serious business!"

As for Zhong Cang, Li Yan acted as if whatever you said was his decision. Anyway, on the surface, he was defending him 100%, but as for what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew.

Zhong Cang didn't care about these things.

After obtaining the Soul-Bearing Moss, he now only wanted to return to the academy, immediately contract this mycelium mushroom, and let it assist him in his cultivation.

But in the end, after thinking about it, Zhong Cang did not do so. Instead, he came to Youyun Chamber of Commerce again and found the half-demon girl Yaxin.

"Sir, why are you back so soon? Is there something wrong with our goods?"

Because of Shuang Lingxue's company before, Yaxin's attention to Zhong Cang increased again. After discovering that he had returned, Yaxin hurried to greet him.

In this regard, Zhong Cang said bluntly:
"No, I haven't used the Soul-Sucking Moss yet. I came here this time to discuss other business... I want you to help me find a tree... a tree species that can increase spirituality or understanding!"

When the druid was promoted to level three, Zhong Cang gained a feature - Wilderness Transformation.

However, due to his affinity with nature, his knowledge as a tree herder, his visits to the plant realm, and the Four Seasons and Time Scripture, Zhong Cang can only transform into ordinary creatures when transforming into animals, but can transform into extraordinary spiritual plants when transforming into plants.

The gap between ordinary creatures and spiritual plants is huge. Even without thinking, Zhong Cang will choose spiritual plants as his transformation option.

Because each spiritual plant has its own magical properties, he will gain some bonus in certain aspects depending on what kind of spiritual plant he transforms into.

Just like if he transforms into Ice Spirit Grass, Zhong Cang will definitely gain affinity and perception bonus of ice attribute.

If he transforms into a fire banyan tree, he can also gain fire-related bonuses.

In addition to spiritual plants with common attributes such as ice, fire, wind, thunder, gold, wood... Zhong Cang can also transform into a Yuanling tree, which is a spiritual plant that can speed up the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption and increase its own spiritual energy reserves.

Zhong Cang can also transform into the blood Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, and ginseng doll, which are full of vitality and rich in qi and blood.
