Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 58 The True Fragrance Theorem
While Yaxin was admiring Zhong Cang's talent, Chang Quan set his sights on the slightly mysterious Jin Cheng.

Not knowing what he was thinking, he asked Jin Cheng, "Brother Jin, how many bird and beast forms do you think Zhong Cang can comprehend?"

"nine."

"???"

Chang Quan was stunned by this answer, and subconsciously asked, "Brother Jin, are you so optimistic about Zhong Cang?"

"Not really. It's just that although Mr. Luo's bird and beast diagrams contain twelve species of birds and beasts, each with different abilities, if you comprehend a few more, you will find that they are ultimately derived from the same spell, and there are many similarities later on. I believe that with Brother Zhong's intelligence, he will definitely notice this. Based on these similarities, it will be easier for him to comprehend the following content."

This answer left Chang Quan speechless. Qi Wei, on the other hand, snorted coldly, "No matter how many bird and beast forms he comprehends, he will never comprehend the Cloud Dragon."

Jin Cheng didn't reject this statement, but nodded and said, "I agree with that... If my guess is correct, the Cloud Dragon needs to comprehend the forms of eleven birds and beasts and combine their unique cloud patterns and cloud seals to transform."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Jin Cheng, with some surprise on their faces.

Qi Wei: "Horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, ears like an ox... The dragon is a perfect creature, a symbol of all spirits in the world. Although the Jiao is a lower-ranking dragon, it is reasonable to rely on the eleven cloud beasts to form a composition."

After saying this, Qi Wei looked at Jin Cheng in surprise.

"You were able to comprehend this during your first visualization. I underestimated you before..."

With his amazing comprehension, outstanding abilities, and mysterious origins, if such a Jin Cheng had appeared in the past, Chang Quan and Qi Wei would definitely be wary and would have thought of competing with him - don't think this idea is strange.

The resources of Yunmo Heart Lake are limited, and the gap between the first, second, and third place in the class rewards is completely not on the same level.

Therefore, it is possible for the people below to huddle together for warmth, but the top group of people in Yunmo Xinhu are all thinking about competing for the first place.

And this is what Xuehu Taoist Temple wants to see.

For monks who have great power within themselves, cooperation is important, but being strong is more important.

If we can cultivate a peerless genius through healthy competition, he alone will be more useful than the entire team.

In such an environment, the geniuses who aspire to be the first will naturally collect information about their opponents and think of ways to target them.

The closer you are to the top spot, the more you will be targeted.

But that was in the past. Now, whether it was Qi Wei or Chang Quan, after they sighed at Jin Cheng's intelligence, they all turned their attention to Zhong Cang.

Compared to Jin Cheng, they still regard Zhong Cang as their biggest enemy.

And Jin Cheng...thought the same.

……

As everyone waited, time continued to pass.

What made everyone anxious and uneasy was that after a full incense stick of time had passed, Zhong Cang and Shuang Lingxue finally opened their eyes.

"They woke up almost an hour later than us. How much have they learned?"

Feeling uneasy, Qi Wei wanted to ask immediately.

Then, after looking at Zhong Cang...she asked Shuang Lingxue a question.

Although she was spoiled and willful, she still understood the gap between herself and Zhong Cang. She was afraid of hearing an exaggerated answer and thus damaging her Taoism, so she wanted to ask Shuang Lingxue first.

Then, her faith in the Tao was damaged.

"You have comprehended the forms of many birds and beasts."

Seeing Qi Wei asking questions, after thinking for a while, Shuang Lingxue felt a little embarrassed, and said kindly: "Ms. Qi Wei, you don't need to care about these things. Cultivation is our own business, there is no need to compare with others."

"Humph, I don't need you to teach me these great principles. Don't forget our bet, or you don't dare!"

Seeing Qi Wei's insistence, Shuang Lingxue sighed but still shared her progress. "Six. I've mastered the mimicry of the Cloud Crane, Cloud Snake, Cloud Fish, Cloud Deer, Cloud Horse, and Cloud Ape."

"..."

When the six mimicry changes appeared, the spoiled and willful Qi Wei was dumbfounded.

She was like a petrified being, unable to utter a word.

Not only was she stunned, but Chang Quan beside her, as well as Jin Cheng and Yaxin, all looked stunned.

Yaxin: "She mastered six transformations in one go. Miss Shuang Lingxue's talent is so strong... Have we underestimated her?"

When Yaxin sighed and was surprised.

Jin Cheng, the most mysterious among the crowd, was the first to come to his senses.

Looking at Shuang Lingxue, thinking of her past reputation as merely intelligent but not a peerless prodigy or the saint of her clan, Jin Cheng immediately shook his head: "This is definitely not her own ability, otherwise, the Shuangxue clan's training and protection of her would definitely not be just as strong as it is now."

Without thinking too long, Jin Cheng soon thought of something and looked at Zhong Cang and the hands of the two.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be because of Zhong Cang. Did he transmit his understanding, or perception, to Shuang Lingxue?"

Thinking of this, Jin Cheng was excited for a moment.

Since Zhong Cang was able to impart his understanding to Shuang Lingxue, he could naturally pass it on to him as well. As for cultivators, they would never have too much understanding.

Jin Cheng's eyes were burning with anger. Chang Quan, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment before he thought of something.

Only Qi Wei was hit so hard that she was unable to react for a while.

"Impossible! Our talents were clearly similar before, and I just realized it... How could you possibly have realized six in one go?"

This made Shuang Lingxue smile apologetically: "Ms. Qi Wei is right, this is indeed not just my credit."

After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply to Zhong Cang and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Zhong Cang."

Her thanks also brought Zhong Cang back to his senses from the lingering sound of the Taoist voice.

"You don't have to be like that... You've helped me a lot."

Thinking that Zhong Cang was expressing gratitude for her previous financial support, Shuang Lingxue immediately shook her head and said, "I wasn't helping you, Mr. Zhong, before. We were doing business, and I made a lot of money from that business... a lot of money."

Having said that, Shuang Lingxue has already started thinking about what kind of treasure she should give to Zhong Cang to repay this favor, and... continue to practice dual cultivation with Zhong Cang.

She was thinking, but the way the two of them thanked each other was interpreted as eye contact by Qi Wei and others who were watching.

This kind of dog food-spreading behavior also made Qi Wei deeply angry and... envious.

Only the existence of equals can arouse competition and jealousy.

But if one person is much stronger than another, that person will not even feel jealous, but only admiration.

As for Qi Wei, although she was angry with Zhong Cang, she already regarded Zhong Cang as someone stronger than herself, and she didn't even feel jealous.

Therefore, her target became the original Frost Lingxue, or in other words, her target has always been Frost Lingxue.

Thinking that Shuang Lingxue was able to completely crush herself because of Zhong Cang's leadership, Qi Wei couldn't help but imagine that if Zhong Cang had led her, would she have already won?

Of course, this thought only appeared in her mind for a moment before she abandoned it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if I starve to death or die outside, I will not beg him."
