Chapter 559: Inauguration

"yes!"

Fang Xing thought, and the attribute panel suddenly changed:

[Having taken up a job - 'Druid', the current job level is level 1! 】

[You gain a talent - natural affinity! 】

Boom!

There was a flash of green in Fang Xing's eyes.

He suddenly felt that the night was so quiet, and the green grass by the river and the bushes not far away all exuded a sense of intimacy.

There was even a numb and itchy feeling on his back, and it seemed that the injuries were healed in an instant.

He even learned a lot about druids secretly, as if it was taught to him by nature.

"Druid is a profession that is close to nature. It has two fields: plants and animals. It is a natural caster and also has certain physical combat abilities..."

"This is obviously different from the druids in those games that I remember. It seems to be a modified version, or... a version of Jhin's transcendent..."

"Well, I seem to know a lot about Druid's advancement and ritual knowledge... Is this caused by the body digesting that part of the inheritance?"

Fang Xing looked a little excited: "It is indeed a transcendent inheritance. In this world where the laws are not revealed, the power of the Druid has not been affected at all... It seems that this should be the case in any world."

He glanced at the property bar and found that many changes had occurred:

[Name: Fang Xing]

【Age: 16/27】

[Occupation: Druid Level 1]

[Talent: Natural Affinity]

…

"The upper limit of lifespan has been increased by two years... This should be the change brought about by the inaugural Druid!"

The upper limit of human lifespan is never fixed. If you can shorten your lifespan, you can naturally increase your lifespan!

"Natural affinity, this talent allows me to get closer to nature...especially the fields of plants and animals."

"This is the early stage of Druidry. In the later stage, the agricultural field, the civilized field, and even the universe can be included in the way of nature!"

Fang Xing felt the benefits of being natural. First of all, in the night, his figure was more invisible and he could detect distant peeks and whistles more quickly.

"And... my talent has increased. In other words, I should be able to sense the so-called 'qi' in this world."

"It's just that there is something wrong with the eighteen kinds of breaths such as the 'filthy blood' in the Blood Shadow Sect introductory technique... My natural affinity talent should be increased by the perception of the vitality of wood, water and other attributes..."

According to what the book says, there are 129,600 kinds of vitality in the world, and each one is different!

"In other words, as long as I find the right wood and water attribute skills, I should be able to become a monk in this world, giving me an extra layer of protection..."

While Fang Xing was pondering, the perception brought by the natural affinity had already made him aware of the footsteps in the distance.

"If it is discovered, no matter who it is, it will be trouble after all..."

After thinking about it, he immediately took the carp and left under the cover of night.

The druid's natural affinity allows him to easily cover his figure with the shadows of nature.

After a while, a similar paper slave came over, still muttering: "Who? Who is there? I clearly heard a sound..."

Although they are both paper slaves, if he saw the food in Fang Xing's hand, he would definitely snatch it and make things difficult...

Because Fang Xing is the weakest and at the bottom of the contempt chain.

This is human nature!

…

The next day.

Thin young men and women, holding checkered paper-making nets in their hands, lined up in front of the 'pulp pool' of the paper mill.

They are generally depressed, and some have bags under their eyes and deep dark circles.

‘Is this the pursuit of pleasure to the extreme when death is approaching...or is it the instinct of life to leave offspring before death? ’

Fang Xing lined up with his papermaking net, thinking a little boredly.

With the grilled fish last night and the gruel this morning, he felt that his body had improved a lot.

At least, the pain will not affect my mobility.

Of course, this is more likely due to the Druid’s advancement and the golden sore medicine...

"Huh? Master Fang is out?"

Taohong saw Fang Xing next to her and greeted him jokingly.

"Well, it's time to come out and make paper as soon as possible, otherwise how can I repay your kindness..."

Fang Xing forced a smile.

Even if you decide to flee or something else, you must pretend to be nonchalant at the moment and act when others don't expect it.

Therefore, he decided to continue pretending for a while.

Naturally, a few pieces of ‘blood paper’ need to be made, not only to return a favor, but also to become the ‘currency’ in the paper-making valley.

In addition to the mandatory requirement of turning in ten pieces of paper slaves every month, the Blood Shadow Sect treats paper slaves like them as free animals the rest of the time.

There are even caravans coming every seven days to exchange supplies, forming a small market.

The greatest wealth of the paper slaves is naturally the 'blood paper'.

Fang Xing looked at the paper-making net in his hand. It was square, like a tofu frame, but the edges were extremely sharp, with many small thorns.

This is a must-have tool for a paper slave.

When it was his turn, Fang Xing came to the pulp pool, grabbed the papermaking net with both hands, and immersed himself in the pool.

"Hiss..."

As soon as the hands come into contact with the pulp, a pain will be felt. It is obvious that this pulp is corrosive.

Fang Xing's expression remained unchanged, his hands were as steady as a rock, allowing the paper pulp to stay evenly in the grid.

This step is also very critical. If the thickness is different, it will definitely affect the quality of the final product.

Even when he moved his fingers, he felt as if he was stung by a bee.

These were the barbs on the papermaking net, which were absorbing his blood.

‘Although I have added two years of lifespan… I feel that I can only make do with one more month. Within one month, I must find a way to escape or get promoted… otherwise I will die. ’

After a while, Fang Xing picked up the papermaking net with a layer of pulp evenly pasted on it, found a sunny open space, and began the subsequent steps of drying and compacting the paper…

Between each process, the paper slave needs to take the initiative to prick his finger to provide blood.

The food at noon was a little better, with a few steamed buns and pickles.

He worked until dusk, and Fang Xing finally had a new white page in his hand.

Please… collect 6… books…!

The paper was thick and crisp, and it felt indescribable to the touch, and the surface was even more bloody.

This was a finished ‘blood paper’, a must-have for the disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect to practice ‘paper folding’.

Although ordinary paper can also be used to perform the "paper folding technique", it is easily broken by various filth and red dragons.

But this kind of "blood paper" is invulnerable to all kinds of evil, and the paper people and paper soldiers made from it do not have this defect.

Dinner is a slightly thicker vegetable porridge and a few grain steamed breads.

Fang Xing hastily ate and returned to his shed. Looking at his dry, cracked, and rough hands, he pondered in silence:

"Today is a normal day of work... I have roughly figured it out."

"The paper slaves are in the valley and can move freely, but there are suspected paper people patrolling at the entrance of the valley..."

"Not only that, there are occasionally paper birds flying over the sky for inspection..."

"For these mortals, it is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven to escape..."

Just as he was pondering, a few sparrows flew in, chirping.

"Cute little guys, eat."

Fang Xing smiled and took out the dregs of the steamed bread from his sleeves to feed the sparrows.

The natural affinity of a druid naturally includes plant affinity and animal affinity.

If he was not assigned to be a paper slave, but to a place like a medicine garden, he might be able to do something.

After all, the profession of druid and spirit plant husband is quite compatible.

However, at this time, he can only use animal affinity to recruit a few small animals to patrol and explore for him...

Although the IQ of small animals such as sparrows and mice is not high, some simple communication can still be done.

For example, the sparrows found their paper counterparts in the sky...

"I'll trouble you to stand guard for me tonight..."

After patting the heads of several sparrows, Fang Xing lay on the bed, focusing on the attribute bar:

[Age: 16/26]

...

"The upper limit of life span has been reduced by one year of blood paper, which is almost a year of life span... It's too bad."

"With this life span, even if I escape, I'm afraid I won't live long. This won't work!"

"Although I can't sense my location, my existence is my 'anchor'. Even if I die, I must support myself until I wake up and die..."

However, I may sleep for decades or even hundreds of years!

This life span is not enough!

Fang Xing sighed silently: "Sure enough, I still have to rely on the talent of the 'Druid'..."

After gaining a lot of knowledge, he already knew that the 'Druid' can obtain a talent at level 5, called [Eternal Youth]!

Not only will the druid's appearance never age at this stage, but his life span will also slow down, becoming about half of the previous one.

This means that the remaining life span can be doubled!

"The life span of a cultivator in the Qi Sensing Stage in this world is similar to that of an ordinary person, or even slightly worse... But in the Dao Foundation Stage, even if it is a low-level Dao Foundation, one can easily live over 200 years old... If one also works as a Level 5 Druid, one can live 400 years old!"

Fang Xing's eyes lit up: "Moreover, the talent of [Eternal Youth] can be upgraded. At Level 15, it will be upgraded to [Immortal Body], and the speed of life passing will be reduced to one-fifth!"

"At Level 20, it will become the [Immortality] talent! Life passing will be reduced to one-tenth!"

"In other words, even if it is just the life span of an ordinary person, one can live for a thousand years!"

"If it is in the Dao Foundation Stage, one can live for two thousand years..."

"In this way, at least there is no need to worry too much about life span. Even if it is reduced for a few years now, the improvement of the Druid level and the breakthrough of the cultivation realm in this world can also increase life span..."

"The next thing to consider is how to get out of the current predicament."

The first thing Fang Xing thought of was not to show his talent, but to escape!

After all, the Blood Shadow Sect is an evil sect, not a place suitable for living or staying for a long time.

Moreover, the promotion of a druid requires getting close to nature, not practicing evil magic, fighting, etc.

"With the defense level of this valley, ordinary people can't escape, but as long as I level up one more level, it won't be a big problem..."
