Druid Fairy

Chapter 33 Combination Skills

The max-level trait of Nature's Gift, [Blessing], enhances the father's martial arts foundation and the mother's physical constitution.

The eldest brother has a talent for martial arts, while the second brother has a strong memory for reading.

Because of the passive nature of "Good Luck," the blessings bestowed by nature will develop in the direction that Li Pingcan desires, and fortune will naturally arise in the unseen realm.

After dinner.

Li Pingcan took out a piece of pine nut candy. "Yuanyuan, sweetie, do you want some candy?"

When nature's gifts are activated, the more relaxed the recipient is, the stronger the blessing's effect.

What child doesn't love sweets?

Xie Yuan's eyes lit up, and she poked her fingers at each other with both hands, hesitatingly asking, "Is...is it okay?"

"Of course." Li Pingcan placed the pine nut candy in Yuanyuan's palm. Seeing her smile and happily eat the candy, he murmured to himself, "Great God of Nature, please bestow divine blessings upon my sister Xie Yuan, may she grow up safely, free from illness and disaster, and protected by heaven and earth."

As soon as she finished speaking, a faint light gathered above Xie Yuan's head and slowly poured into her limbs and bones.

Xie Yuan felt a lightness in her body, and the fatigue from the long journey and the excessive mental tension completely disappeared.

After finishing the candy, waves of drowsiness washed over her. She rubbed her eyes, rested her head on Li Pingcan's shoulder, and mumbled, "Hehe... Yuanyuan is sleepy."

…………

Xie Yuan became part of the Li family and gradually became more lively and cheerful.

Li Pingcan discovered that the effects of nature's gifts on her seemed to be stronger than on her older brothers from the collateral branches, and not much different from those on her parents from the direct bloodline.

Yuanyuan couldn't possibly be her father's illegitimate daughter who had been living away from home, so there's only one possibility.

"Could it be that Yuanyuan is naturally more approachable?"

I had some vague suspicions in my mind.

He looked at Xie Yuan, wondering if it was as he thought. He would ask Grandpa Peach Tree later.

…………

"My wife, I plan to add three more rooms."

Li Rongzhou was talking to Qin Shi.

Xie Yuan is still young and can sleep with Qin Shi, but it's always inconvenient for a girl.

The family is financially well-off, so there's no need to make such a fuss. We'll build a big house and a small house so the children can live in a new, spacious, and comfortable place.

Qin agreed, saying, "The children are getting older; they need to live separately."

Building three thatched huts only costs three taels of silver, while a brick house would cost twice as much.

These three years have been blessed with favorable weather. The eight-mu orchard earns sixty-four taels of silver annually. Apart from necessary expenses for martial arts training, reading, taxes, and various miscellaneous items, the annual expenditure is around forty taels of silver.

They earn a lot, but they also spend a lot.

However, with the profits from mushrooms and the silver from selling salamanders, he had saved up more than a hundred taels in three years, which could be considered as making money in a skillful way.

…………

The bricklayer was skilled; the three bright new houses were built in just over ten days.

Yuanyuan has one room, Li Pingan has one room, and Li Pingcan has one room.

Li Pingfu continued to live in the old thatched hut.

“I’m thick-skinned and don’t care where I sleep. My second brother is too picky, and my younger brother and sister are too young to need a better place to stay.”

These words made Qin feel a pang of sadness.

When they were young, the eldest child was naughty and caused a lot of trouble for the family, but as they grew up, they became too sensible, which was heartbreaking.

Being sensible comes at a price.

Qin told her husband in private that once their eldest son got married and had children, they would renovate the house again and build beautiful brick houses for everyone, so that no one would be shortchanged.

Setting off six firecrackers creates a lively atmosphere, wards off evil spirits, and allows one to move into the new house.

Li Pingcan was delighted. It wasn't that he disliked living with his brothers, but his eldest brother's feet smelled terrible from practicing martial arts, like rotten fish soaked in acidic water. The smell was so strong that it made people dizzy, and he had to use [Dancing Wind] to deodorize them at all times.

My second brother is such a diligent student; he studies late into the night every day. If it weren't for the fact that he's been practicing martial arts and improving his eyesight over the years, he would have become nearsighted long ago.

Now that I have a separate room and some independent space, it's more convenient to grind skill proficiency.

Feeding the Purple Gold Centipede with fresh chicken blood will cause it to lose its appetite and produce less venom when the weather gets hot.

Even so, under the blessing, there are still three drops a month, far exceeding the efficiency during Li Da Hu's time, enough to supply the whole family for martial arts training.

After finishing its meal, the Purple-Gold Blood Centipede obediently returned to the pottery jar. A year after the contract was signed, the intimacy level had already reached 100%, generating a second contract slot. Li Pingcan's new contract was with a species of social insect.

In the peach orchard, the father and elder brother were busy with the autumn harvest, and peaches rolled down.

Li Pingcan said softly, "Call the ant colony."

Countless black ants swarmed out of the ground, a sight that could send chills down one's spine. Upon closer inspection, the ants appeared robust with long, slender limbs, their antennae constantly gathering information in the air.

This species of ant was discovered by Li Pingcan by chance. Each one is the size of a fingernail, powerful, fast-moving, and aggressive, exhibiting characteristics of army ants.

Who could have imagined that the small tribe, barely the size of a palm, would grow to such a terrifying number just two years later?

Li Pingcan's contract with the ant queen was for several reasons. Ants, as decomposers, could easily "destroy the evidence." Secondly, these black ants could build transport conveyor belts according to his wishes anytime, anywhere, and even construct biological bridges to cross chasms.

After the [Blessing], power and speed reached their peak.

As for why he didn't contract with a blood poisonous insect as powerful as the Purple-Gold Blood Centipede... was it because he didn't want to get into Tsinghua or Peking University in his previous life?

Under Li Pingcan's command, the black ant army cooperated closely, carrying crisp peaches into baskets when no outsiders were around, saving a lot of manpower.

After the autumn harvest, having earned some money, Li Rongzhou bought another four acres of peach orchards and planted trees.

The initial planting was tough, but the later maintenance was relatively easy. Li Rongzhou and Li Pingfu managed to keep up with the twelve acres of peach orchard.

At this time, Li Pingcan would generously bless the peach orchard, hoping to reduce pests and diseases.

[Your father, Li Rongzhou, successfully planted a peach tree; Druid experience +1]

……

The panel kept displaying prompts.

The four acres of peach trees ultimately added more than 500 experience points to Li Pingcan's account.

He looked at the panel.

Magic Stone Technique, Clay Shaping Technique, and Repair Technique are all new skills that Li Pingcan gained after leveling up.

He once used the magic stone technique on the naughty children in the village. Currently, the enchantment has three effects: "sting," "frost," and "poison."

Restoration is the art of repairing a damaged or cracked part of an object. As long as the damage or breakage is no more than ten inches in any direction, it can be repaired without leaving a trace.

Plasticizing refers to the process of placing soil or rock on the ground and altering it.

Looking at the clay modeling, magic stone spell, and thorn whip, Li Pingcan formed a bold idea in his mind.
