Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 3 Hidden Occupation, Tree Shepherd
Zhong Cang's resonance with heaven and earth did not last long. After a few breaths, his spirit fell from the state of harmony between heaven and man.

However, although his spirit fell, Zhong Cang gained endless benefits.

The first is the increase in professional experience.

217 points is already a lot. Before that, he was busy for a long time before his experience value was increased to 81 points.

The current 217 experience points saved Zhong Cang several months.

"Level 3 Druid, even level isn't far away, big profit."

Although he wanted to upgrade immediately, after taking a look at the cultivator not far away and thinking for a while, Zhong Cang still did not take action immediately.

His eyes turned, and soon, Zhong Cang looked at his other two gains.

His second harvest was the incarnation of plants.

After careful study, Zhong Cang discovered that he could not use this ability now, as it was linked to the Druid's professional ability at level three.

As the guardians of nature, druids are favored by nature, and animals are also part of nature.

Therefore, many of the druids' abilities are related to animals.

Not to mention the animal-based blessing spells such as the strength of the bear, the wisdom of the owl, the elegance of the cat, and the majesty of the lion.

In addition, druids can summon animal companions to fight, or transform into animals.

The plant incarnation was because Zhong Cang had visited the plant realm. Therefore, when he was at level three and gained the ability of wild transformation, he could transform into an animal or a large tree.

"It can only be used at level 3. Although, I'm not far away from it, but it's still a long way off. Let's wait until I reach level 3."

Turning his gaze, Zhong Cang continued to read, and soon he saw the introduction about the tree herder.

Changing jobs is very common in the game played by Zhong Cang. At level five and ten, a druid can change jobs to become a wilderness druid who specializes in beast transformation, or an elemental druid who follows the elemental path and protects the balance of elements.

In addition, there are ocean druids, fallen druids, etc.

"It's just that changing classes is common, but high-level classes are rare. As for the Tree Shepherd, I remember this class is a hidden class among the Druids. It can eventually grow into a Star Shepherd, which is the furthest along among all the Druid classes and is also the most powerful."

Discovering that the future was promising, Zhong Cang decided to choose it as his career change without much hesitation.

However, Zhong Cang soon made the bitter discovery that although the tree shepherd was good, he had only triggered its job change requirements. If he wanted to fully activate it, he still had a long way to go.

[Tree Herder Job Change Requirements]

[Task ①: Visit the plant field once (Task completed)]

[Task ②: Gain the ability to transform into a plant (Task Completed)]

[Task ③: Plant 17 trees (1000/)]

[Task ④: Obtain a Spiritual Tree as the core of your job change ceremony]

[Requirement ⑤: Level 5 or above]

"Do you need a thousand trees, plus a spirit tree? We'll be busy now."

……

Zhong Cang wasted a lot of time due to a sudden epiphany. At this time, the senior students had already "divided up" the junior students and took them into the farmland to start farming.

Of course, some people are willing to learn from senior students, while others are ready to work on their own.

What surprised Zhong Cang was that after seeing him come back, three or five of the Taoist children who had not followed anyone ran to his side and expressed their willingness to follow him.

"Follow me? Are you sure? I'm the same as you now. I don't know anything."

"Of course I'm sure." The first person to speak was a slightly chubby boy named Li Yan. Looking at Zhong Cang, he said with a flattering expression, "We are indeed the same now, but I believe that gold will shine wherever it is. Brother Zhong, you have a second-class spiritual root. Even if you are a spiritual plant husband, you will definitely become a master among spiritual plant husbands."

"I also believe in you, Brother Zhong Cang."

The second person who was willing to follow Zhong Cang was a pretty girl named Yan Yanyan. The compliments from the two made Zhong Cang understand that the status of spiritual root talent in the hearts of others was stronger than he had imagined.

"Since you are willing to follow me, then I will naturally accept you. But first, let me make it clear that if you follow me, you must obey me."

"nature."

"I will listen to Brother Zhong Cang in everything."

"Me too."

Seeing that several people agreed, Zhong Cang immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go plant trees."

"Oh?" Li Yan became a little anxious when he heard that Zhong Cang wanted to plant trees.

"Brother Zhong, we can't plant trees. Their growth cycle is too long. After a year of hard work, we might not even get any harvest. If that happens, we won't be able to complete the academy assessment."

"I know... That's why I don't plan to use spiritual land to plant trees, nor do I plan to plant spiritual trees. I just plan to plant some ordinary trees in the surrounding barren mountains. Planting them won't require us to worry too much."

These words made Li Yan even more confused.

"Boss Zhong Cang, planting ordinary trees doesn't really require much effort, but planting these... seems useless, right?"

Zhong Cang...also admitted what Li Yan said.

Ordinary trees, even fruit trees, are of little use to cultivators like Zhong Cang.

However, planting trees is useless for ordinary Qigong practitioners, but they are the key to Zhong Cangmu's transformation into a tree man. Therefore, no matter what, he has to plant these trees.

But the druid profession was Zhong Cang's secret, and he couldn't say it openly. Therefore, Zhong Cang could only find a random excuse to cover it up.

"You're right, they're indeed useless, but I can't bear to see barren mountains around me, so I want to plant some big trees to make the surroundings lush and green. That would make me happy."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, the cultivators around Zhong Cang all thought that he was ill, or seriously ill. Therefore, most of the Taoist children left directly. In the end, only the fat boy Li Yan and Yan Yanyan gritted their teeth and stayed.

Zhong Cang didn't say anything about the others' departure. Taking the obedient Li Yan and Yan Yanyan, Zhong Cang first went to the village and bought a lot of saplings, several cattails, and buckets.

After getting their equipment, they headed up the mountain.

Well... when buying things, Li Yan also found that saplings, catalpas, and buckets all cost money, and it can be foreseen that Zhong Cang needs a lot of saplings, which means a lot of money.

What made them even more tired was that they did not get any harvest from planting these saplings in the surrounding barren hills.

The fact that they only gave but received nothing made those who left look at Zhong Cang with more and more strange eyes.

It was because Zhong Cang was so talented that they didn't say anything to his face.

However, after Zhong Cang left, these people couldn't stop talking.

"What's wrong with Zhong Cang? Is he crazy? What benefits does planting trees bring besides waste?"

"He has always been crazy, otherwise, how could he, with his second-class spiritual roots, choose the profession of spiritual plant husband?"

"Wait, you said that Zhong Cang has a second-class spiritual root?"

Zhong Cang's condition not only shocked the Taoist boy who came with him, but also the senior brothers who exclaimed in disbelief after learning about Zhong Cang's condition.

Ignoring all this, Zhong Cang silently took the two of them out of the spiritual field and came to the barren mountain area, where he dug holes, planted saplings, and watered them.

This job...Li Yan and Yan Yanyan did not do it smoothly.

They had never done this before, but Zhong Cang had been thinking about how to earn experience points since he came here and obtained the druid profession.

Therefore, he knew how to plant and had planted many saplings himself.

Now, he has taken on the main responsibility of finding a place to dig a hole, plant the saplings, and then fill the soil and water them. This is the job of Li Yan and Yan Yanyan.

Even so, Zhong Cang still has to command them from time to time.

"Wait a minute, you filled it too tight, loosen it up a little..."

"This soil sapling is a little uncomfortable to live in. Go get some good soil nearby..."

"Don't water so much..."

Although commanding the two people took some effort from Zhong Cang, their help still made Zhong Cang feel much more relaxed.

In a short time, he planted many saplings.

As the saplings were planted on the barren hills, prompts from the game log began to ring in Zhong Cang's ears.

[Ding, the player planted a sapling and gained 0.3 experience points]
