Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 2 Epiphany!

From the attribute panel, we can know that Zhong Cang is a time traveler, and he traveled through time while playing a game.

He had just created his profession at that time, and then was struck by lightning and traveled to the body of his counterpart in another dimension.

Due to some influences of the dimensional storm, the druid profession he created was also deeply bound and integrated with him.

Zhong Cang was happy to see this happen.

After all, he quite likes the Druid profession, which is very useful.

Even as a first-level druid, Zhong Cang has the ability to communicate with plants (plant language) and the ability to communicate with the spirits of all things in nature (meditation). Natural intelligence allows Zhong Cang to obtain some gifts from nature. Walking in the wilderness forest, he will inexplicably know what can be eaten and what cannot be touched.

Among the level 1 druids, the ones that Zhong Cang paid the most attention to and that he believed would help him the most were Nature Affinity and the spell Godberry.

"In this world, it's very difficult for commoners to give birth to noble children. The children of immortal cultivators are more likely to have spiritual roots than ordinary children, and their spiritual root talents are also better."

"The reason why I have a second-class spiritual root is probably due to the influence of natural affinity."

It's no wonder he thinks this way, as his affinity with nature clearly states that he, who possesses this kind of talent, is more favored by nature and has a closer connection with nature. When he casts nature spells, it will be easier and consume less energy.

And nature does not only refer to plants.

Animals, mountains, rivers, and even the sun, moon, and stars are all part of nature.

Even spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind, thunder, rain and snow are part of nature.

In a sense, nature is heaven and earth. If Zhong Cang is in harmony with heaven and earth, his spiritual roots will naturally be blessed.

"My original spiritual roots were probably third-grade, or even fourth-grade or fifth-grade. With the blessing of natural affinity, I was able to reach the level of second-grade spiritual roots in one fell swoop."

Spiritual roots are one of the most important foundations for cultivators, and the benefits of enhancing them are naturally endless.

The magic spell of Divine Berry is even more extraordinary. It uses the power of nature to grow vines, and the divine berries they condense can not only feed people, but also heal physical injuries. Zhong Cang is now strong and healthy because of the influence of the Divine Berry spell.

Zhong Cang is quite satisfied with the Druid profession in all aspects. The only drawback is that if he wants to upgrade the Druid level, he needs to follow the ways of nature and wilderness and maintain the ecology and balance of nature.

And this is why he chose Ling Zhifu.

"Cultivating immortals is not a simple matter, and it is certainly not something you can sit back and relax just because you have a second-class spiritual root."

"Wealth, companions, Dharma, and land—these four things are indispensable for success in cultivation, and I lack almost all of them."

“So, if I want to stand out, I have to play to my strengths.”

What is Zhong Cang's advantage? Of course, it is the Druid profession that can be continuously improved.

Although, after being realized in the real world, if Zhong Cang wants to improve his druid profession, he cannot gain experience through killing like in the game. He can only obtain the gifts of nature by maintaining the natural ecology and balance, but this is still a way out.

"Possessing the language of plants, an affinity with nature, and natural wisdom, I could become an alchemist. However, alchemy does not contribute to the preservation of nature. On the contrary, refining large quantities of alchemy is suspected of destroying nature. If I choose this path, I will be severing my druid path."

"As for the spiritual planters, they plant trees, flowers, grass, and rice. These are all things that benefit nature."

Of course, reclaiming farmland is also suspected of destroying the natural environment. For some druids who support primitive doctrines, this is also a crime. Therefore, some druids of primitive doctrines will drive away or even kill civilians.

Fortunately, nature encompasses everything. Respecting the ancient and primitive is natural, maintaining balance is also natural, and even birth, aging, sickness, and death, and the law of the jungle are natural.

Zhong Cang follows the path of maintaining balance, so when he cultivates the land and harvests crops, it is not considered to be against the laws of nature.

As long as he doesn't destroy the forest on a large scale and reclaim the land, it's fine.

“This happens to align with my three perspectives.”

As Zhong Cang was thinking about this, he thought of his previous life.

In the 21st century, humanity no longer frantically demands from nature. Instead, it understands the relationship between humans and nature and has begun to protect it. "There is only one Mother Earth. If humans want to live a good life, they need a good natural environment."

"To this end, humans in that world have undertaken a series of actions to govern nature."

"There's returning farmland to forests, sand control and flood control, wildlife reserves, and the promotion of clean energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions... and so on."

Thinking of his actions in the previous life and the beautiful vision of turning the vast desert into a forest, Zhong Cang felt excited and had the idea that "I can do it too."

"This world also has deserts, and even more wildernesses polluted by forbidden powers. I can follow the example of my predecessors and turn the desert into a rainforest, bringing life back to the polluted land!"

“The peaceful coexistence of man and nature can be proposed by me, and I can also put it into practice!”

"Mother World, I will also protect you!"

"While protecting nature, I can also gain gifts from nature, continuously improve my druid level, and eventually become a legendary druid, or even a demigod or a god!"

Zhong Cang was full of ambition as he imagined these things, and just as he was thinking this.

With a "hum" sound, Zhong Cang...suddenly realized.

Druids are guardians of nature and have a close connection with it (nature affinity).

Now, Zhong Cang, the druid, understands that humans and nature should coexist peacefully, understands his own way, and is ready to truly put it into practice. Such enlightenment allows him to resonate with the heaven and earth - this kind of thing is not surprising in this world, because the heaven and earth are spiritual, and enlightenment happens from time to time in all walks of life.

But Zhong Cang's epiphany this time was different.

Everything he advocated was beneficial to nature and the world, which also made the spirit of nature happy. According to instinct, it gave Zhong Cang some gifts. Therefore, Zhong Cang's enlightenment benefited more than others.

At this moment, Zhong Cang felt that his soul had left his body and came into contact with trees, flowers, mountains, rivers...

He could feel the gentleness of the wind, the heaviness of the earth, the gracefulness of the water, and even the lush vitality of the plants - it was as if everything in the world was kind to Zhong Cang and gave him permission.

Zhong Cang had an even greater enlightenment. At this moment, he could choose one from the breeze, earth, river water, and plants, let them blend with his soul, and allow himself to gain some abilities and knowledge in this area.

Without much hesitation, Zhong Cang chose plants.

He is ready to take the path of plant lord, and plants are also Zhong Cang's best tentacles to transform nature.

"Buzz!"

As Zhong Cang made his choice, he felt that his consciousness had merged with the tree. Countless knowledge about plants came from the mysterious nature and the world, and continuously flowed into Zhong Cang's soul.

This knowledge from heaven and earth gave Zhong Cang a deeper understanding of plants and nature.

This is reflected in his integrated game log:
You have awakened to your inner self, understanding that humans and nature should coexist harmoniously. Your understanding resonates with nature, and you have achieved a unique experience—the unity of man and nature.

Nature has touched your soul and understood your thoughts. Because what you advocate is beneficial to nature, nature has given you a gift.

[Gifts from nature allow you to visit a branch of nature - the animal realm, the plant realm, the mountain and earth realm, the river and water realm, the atmosphere realm... You can choose one of these realms to obtain gifts and knowledge.]

【You chose to visit the plant field】

Being in harmony with nature increases your understanding of plants, strengthens your affinity for them, and grants you the gift of plant incarnation.

[Because you have gained enough knowledge, you have obtained the knowledge of the advanced Druid profession, Tree Shepherd]

[You have gained self-awareness and received gifts from nature. Your professional experience has increased by +217]

[Your experience value is full and you can be promoted to a level 2 druid]
