The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Normally, with a settlement guarantee from Cuimu Village, one can be recognized by the villagers and qualified to undergo a clan conversion ceremony with the village chief to become a member of the Lingtui clan.

However, this clan conversion ceremony requires a lot of materials.

Therefore, the race conversion ceremony is also a task. Adventurers need to collect the materials themselves, and at the end of the task, they can take the materials to the village chief to convert their race.

Moran wanted to see if he could use his money to get Groot to take care of everything.

She didn't believe that Groot, with his greedy nature, hadn't secretly kept some materials when issuing race-change missions in the past.

Groot immediately understood what she meant and continued operating on the task panel.

[Accept the quests "Spirit Transformation Ceremony" and "Lost Gold Coin 2"?]

[Spirit Transformation Ceremony]

[Difficulty: Normal]

[Content: Collect ritual materials, find Groot to complete the ritual, and transform into a Spirit Transformation Clan]

[Rewards: Spiritwalker race template, 1 skill point, 100 experience points, Groot's old buddy]

The Lost Gold Coins 2

[Difficulty: Easy]

[Content: Help poor Groot find his 100 lost Dream Coins]

[Reward: One set of ritual materials, 50 experience points, Groot's Warmth]

The "Spirit Transformation Clan Reincarnation Ceremony" quest was pretty straightforward, except for "Groot's Old Buddy," which was clearly a trap. Moran accepted the quest.

As for "Lost Gold Coin 2", Moran shook his head with feigned distress: "Mr. Groot, a hundred dream coins are too many. With my abilities, it would be difficult to find them all!"

Although the list of ritual materials is long, it's just that the categories are messy and it takes a lot of time to collect them. The collection difficulty is actually not high, as they can all be found near Cuimu Village.

Otherwise, adventurers without any race or profession would not be able to complete the mission.

All those materials together aren't even worth a single Dream Coin, let alone a hundred!
This guy is clearly trying to rip her off. If she pays this hundred Dream Coins, she'll only get ripped off even more when she tries to buy a job invitation and magic skill book from him later.

Old Groot's beard drooped in disappointment, but his eyes continued to dart around.

Seeing this, Moran took out three Dream Coins and lined them up in a glittering row in her palm: "However... finding three Dream Coins shouldn't be a problem, it just depends on whether you need them!"

One hundred Dream Coins and three Dream Coins are vastly different, and old Groot was reluctant to part with them.

"It seems you're not satisfied with my abilities. In that case, I'll have to find someone else. I believe there are still many people in the village who would be willing to help me buy ritual materials, give me a job invitation, and magic skill books!" Moran sighed, feigning a sigh.

Upon hearing that she would also need a job offer letter and a magic skill book, old Groot immediately thought of the unsold items he had on hand and became anxious: "Satisfied! I'm satisfied!"

He ultimately succumbed to the allure of money.

He comforted himself, saying that three dream coins would be a lot of money for him, it was just a big difference from 100 dream coins.

Without this idiot, who would spend three Dream Coins to buy those worthless materials!
The materials for the race change ceremony were just randomly written; they were merely a training exercise for adventurers, as required by the world's consciousness. What truly allows adventurers to change races is the "race template" rewarded by the world's consciousness. With this in mind, Old Gru modified the quest details, adjusting the gold coin reward to three. His only slight annoyance subsided after he downgraded the reward "Groot's Warmth" to "Groot's Gratitude."

"Groot's Warmth" was at least a perfectly intact leather glove, though there was only one left; "Groot's Gratitude" was a tattered purse with a hole in it.

This time, Moran accepted the "Lost Gold Coins 2" quest, handed over the three Dream Gold Coins to Groot, received the ritual materials as a reward for the quest, and then gave the materials to Groot, thus advancing the quest progress of the "Spirit Transformation Clan Reincarnation Ritual".

Old Groot carefully wiped the three dream coins clean, then gently stuffed them into his even more bulging money pouch at his waist before slowly beckoning, "Come with me!"

With his back hunched, leaning on his gnarled wooden staff, he led Moran toward the altar in the center of the village.

The altar in Emerald Wood Village is situated at the base of a towering ancient tree, formed by the natural roots, and its surface is covered with ancient runes.

Groot pretended to place the materials around the altar, his movements exaggerated as if he were performing some kind of sacred ritual, but in reality he was just haphazardly placing them.

Moran was not surprised at all. The guides on the forum had already mentioned that although the race conversion ceremony seemed solemn, the process was actually quite casual.

She calmly stood in the center of the altar, watching Groot gesticulate as he waved a stick he had just picked up from the roadside, muttering incantations.

[The Spirit Transformation Clan's transformation ceremony is underway...]

As the panel notification popped up, the runes on the altar lit up one by one with a bright green light.

A warm energy rose from the soles of her feet, like the gentlest sunlight in spring, slowly seeping into Moran's limbs and bones.

She closed her eyes, looked inward into her spiritual sea, and traced this energy that was similar to but different from the power of nature. She watched as it gathered in the depths of her spiritual sea and condensed into a crystal-clear emerald green crystal.

Just then, a wisp of pink energy suddenly extended from the Dream Gate, enveloping the green crystal like a tentacle and gently pulling it to its side.

Like the previous Dream Language skill book, this crystal has established a connection with the Dream Gate.

A continuous stream of green energy was guided by pink energy and flowed throughout her body.

At the same time, Moran's appearance also changed.

Her skin gradually took on a light green sheen, revealing natural leaf-like patterns. Her original large purple wavy hair transformed into fluffy brown curls, and her deep purple pupils contracted and deformed, becoming the amber-colored vertical pupils unique to the Spirit Transformation Clan.

[Race conversion successful. You have obtained the Spirit Transformation race template and unlocked the talent slots.]

……

As the system notification flashed, Moran didn't examine her new image; she was more concerned with the discoveries she had made during the transformation process.

Her body didn't seem to belong entirely to her; it was so perfectly aligned with dream energy that it seemed to have originally been composed of dream energy.

This discovery left her briefly bewildered.

From the moment she entered the dream world, neither the functions of the Book of Cards nor her magical abilities as a witch were subject to any restrictions.

She originally thought that the dream world was a reconstruction of the adventurer's body based on the adventurer's real body!
Now it seems that this is not entirely the case. (End of Chapter)
