Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 560

[Chapter 560 Immortality]

Fang Xing recalled the druid knowledge he had acquired.

Level 2 Druids can gain the ability of “Wild Shape” and transform into a small animal!
Of course, it can only be a small animal, not an insect or a giant one.

If one wants to transform into an insect or a giant, according to the inheritance Fang Xing received, a special natural ritual must be held to obtain the expertise of [Ultra-small Transformation] or [Ultra-giant Transformation].

But there are enough small animals.

Whether it is a flying bird, a mouse, or a fish…it can help him escape from the valley successfully!

“Beyond the valley is a wild and dense forest… The forest is the home of druids… The unique affinity with nature allows me to ‘walk through the forest without leaving any trace’…”

“But can I grow a druid to level 2 within a month?”

That’s the only thing to worry about.

With a heavy heart, Fang Xing slowly fell asleep.

The next day, we had breakfast and went to the paper mill as usual…

This level of desperation surprised Taohong.

After all, they only need to hand in ten pieces of blood paper a month, and many paper slaves work one day and rest for two days to recuperate their bodies.

But Fang Xing just smiled bitterly in response, so Taohong thought she had guessed the answer. She was frightened by the disciple in charge, so she wanted to complete the quota as soon as possible.

…

Several days passed in a flash.

Fang Xing found Taohong and handed her two pieces of blood-stained paper.

Tao Hong took it in a daze: “You are not fighting so hard just for me, are you? Listen to my advice, your life is your own, if you fight for it, it’s really gone…”

“No… I just want to go to the market and stock up a batch in advance…”

Fang Xing waved his hand and subconsciously glanced at the attribute panel:
[Age: 16/20]

“You must not make paper anymore, or you will die young…”

Taohong seemed relieved after hearing this explanation. She patted her chest and said, “It’s also good to go to the market…”

She looked around and lowered her voice: “Remember to hide the blood paper. Xing San and his gang like to steal it if they can’t find it…”

Fang Xing frowned, thinking of some bad memories: “The disciple in charge doesn’t care about these things…”

“Haha… Xing San and the others must have handed over most of their earnings to the disciples in charge. Who’s going to take care of it?”

Tao Hong sneered: “I have seen through it. The blood paper we handed over belongs to our sect… The one Xing San presented was his own. If it were you, what would you choose?”

After hearing this, Fang Xing fell silent.

He looked at Tao Hong carefully again. Although only a few days had passed, the druid’s perception clearly allowed him to feel the woman’s weakness. A wisp of gray could already be seen at the end of her hair. “You can escape the first day, but you can’t escape the fifteenth day… We don’t know how many months we can hold on…”

“This world…” Tao Hong sighed, gritted her teeth, and said with a wave of eyes: “You, a delicate young master, were not still a virgin before you died, were you?”

“Of course not.”

Fang Xing answered in a decisive tone, and he could clearly see a hint of disappointment on Taohong’s face.

…

The Valley Market is said to be run by traveling merchants, but in fact the bosses behind the scenes are all disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect.

In the evening, a layer of fog suddenly appeared on an open space and turned into a wall of fog.

At the entrance, there are two paper figures.

These two paper figures are mediocre in shape and look very much like the funerary dolls that were burned in ancient times.

They look like boys and girls, the boys are naive and the girls are cute, they all have two buns on their heads and their faces are painted with bright blush.

At this time, one on the left and one on the right, stood at the entrance of the market like door gods, each holding a mourning stick in his hand.

On the mourning stick, one side reads “Payment and goods paid” and the other side reads “No credit”.

“There’s an inexplicable feeling of bad luck… It’s like walking into a cemetery instead of a market.”

Fang Xing walked past the two paper figures with a stern expression.

His superior perception made him realize that these two paper figures were by no means simple. Their seemingly fragile bodies might actually be harder than steel.

If you go crazy, it won’t be a problem to kill a valley of paper slaves.

“Is this the strength of Taniguchi’s guards?”

When he walked into the market, he saw a few stalls with very simple furnishings.

There were even paper slaves who set up stalls and traded with each other.

Most of the transactions were conducted with blood paper, and of course barter was also necessary.

“Come and see, the mortal world’s peerless magic skills only require a piece of blood paper!”

“Yangxue San can strengthen blood and qi…”

“Weapons, knives, axes, hooks, forks, needles, thread… everything you could possibly want…”

…

Fang Xing didn’t even look at it and just passed it by.

“It’s a big pit to buy ordinary martial arts here. You are so exhausted, why do you want to practice martial arts? Do you think you can’t die fast enough?”

“It’s some health-preserving pills that can at least replenish some of my essence…”

He walked and stopped, and finally stopped in front of a stall.

“This little brother, are you interested in the Qi Sensing Technique?”

The stall owner was immediately interested when he saw Fang Xing. “The entry-level skills we gave out at the beginning can only sense eighteen kinds of blood. The reason why you can’t practice it successfully may be that you just don’t have the talent for our own skills, but you may not have the talent for other skills… I have collected all the entry-level skills of the ten major sects in Fangwai here. They are all-inclusive, of good quality and at a low price…”

“Once you succeed in your cultivation, you will definitely be promoted to an outer disciple and get rid of this slave status…”

He spoke so eloquently that I didn’t know how many paper slaves he was fooling.

“Look, this is the ‘Golden Body Sensing Qi Method’ of the Corpse Driving Sect…”

“There is also the Feijian Sect’s ‘Sword Controlling Technique’…”

“It covers everything, there is always a book suitable for little brothers.”

Fang Xing looked through the books one by one and picked up a paper book with a green cover.

“Oh? My dear little brother, you really have a good eye for the goods. This is the secret of Qingmu Ridge that has never been passed down – ‘Qingmu Kung Fu’!”

The stall owner was a young man in his thirties with great eloquence. He managed to make an ordinary introductory wood-attributed martial arts technique sound like it was the best in the world.

“How much?”

Fang Xing could only flip through the first two pages. After scanning them carefully, he began to ask.

“Six pieces of bloody paper!”

The stall owner smiled and said, “Not expensive at all…”

“Isn’t this expensive?”

Fang Xing glared: “And… it’s only a first-level Qi sensing technique.”

“hehe!”

The stall owner suddenly sneered, his expression turned stern, “There are nine levels of sensing qi, each one is a level of heaven, sensing qi, refining qi, transforming qi… each one is a big level. For you paper slaves, being able to break through the first level and sense the real ‘qi’ is already amazing, what else do you want?”

Fang Xing’s expression remained unchanged.

If it were an ordinary paper slave, he would have agreed timidly at this point.

But he obviously wouldn’t be scared. What’s more… he was an old hand after all and knew the rules of the market.

This stall owner obviously only had a slightly higher status than him in the Blood Shadow Sect, and did not have the strength or qualifications to overturn the chessboard.

“But I only have four pieces of bloody paper.”

“I don’t believe it. Well, I’ll make a concession… Five pieces of blood paper, no less.” Sure enough, the young man setting up the stall broke down in the next second, turning from a high and mighty evil warrior into a mercenary businessman and started bargaining with Fang Xing.

After a moment.

A trace of helplessness appeared on his face. “Never mind… Five pieces of blood paper are a deal. I’ll also give you a copy of the ‘Origami Secret Technique’, which is a real spell! As long as you can make the most basic ‘paper crane’, how about I take two pieces of blood paper?”

Fang Xing nodded, took out five pieces of blood paper, exchanged them for two secret books, carefully put them in his arms, and left quickly.

“hey-hey……”

The young man looked at his back and sneered, muttering to himself: “This origami secret technique is one of the few secret techniques that ordinary people can practice. But ordinary people who want to practice Taoism naturally have to pay a price… I’m afraid I won’t see this guy next time. If I do, wouldn’t that be even better? I can make a fortune again…”

As for the other party breaking through the first level of Qi Sensing?
This is almost impossible. After all, the Taoism in the world is one family. Those who cannot enter the Blood Shadow Sect’s skills are probably about the same in talent in other aspects.

Even if they succeeded in cultivation, these non-orthodox cultivators would only become slaves of higher value…

…

late at night.

As usual, Fang Xing fed a few sparrows and mice… and let them keep watch outside.

He was sitting cross-legged in the wooden house, with the books of ‘Aoki Isao’ and ‘The Secret Art of Origami’ placed in front of him.

He put the origami secret technique aside and opened ‘Isao Aoki’.

“There are nine levels of sensing qi, and the first level, ‘sensing qi’, is the most important!”

“There are 129,600 kinds of Qi in the world, but only a few are suitable for cultivators to sense, absorb, and cultivate…”

“Qingmu Gong mainly senses nine kinds of ‘qi’. The best one is ‘Qinghua Qi’, followed by ‘Jiuxiao Qi’, ‘Qingling Qi’… The ninth one is ‘Shell Essence Qi’…”

Fang Xing looked at the introductory visualization and hand seals… This is actually a series of auxiliary means to enhance one’s own sensitivity.

If you have enough talent, you can actually omit it.

If he closed his eyes slightly, he could feel the green light spots surrounding his body, which seemed inexhaustible and endless.

“It’s the essence of plants and trees… After all, I’m a druid and have an affinity with nature… It’s equivalent to directly increasing the wood element talent.”

He examined them more carefully and divided the green spots into nine categories.

“I can sense all nine kinds of auras… This should be considered a good talent, right?”

“Then the second step is to absorb… When the practice is complete, I can break through the second level of ‘Qi Refining’ and enter the second level of Qi Sensing. Unfortunately, I don’t have the practice method…”

Fang Xing carefully sensed the nine different green spots of light: “Although I can sense Qinghua Qi, in terms of compatibility, it seems that the essence of plants and trees is the best… Sensing Qi, in fact, the most important thing is to find the breath with the best compatibility. It seems that I am extremely compatible with the essence of plants and trees. Is this because Druids have the plant domain?”

With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and absorbed the essence of plants and trees in the void.

Boom!

Countless essences of plants and trees, with a sense of closeness and dependence, gathered around him and were continuously absorbed by his skin.

[You have practiced once and gained the ‘Nature Baptism’! You have gained some ‘Nature Knowledge’! ]

A prompt appeared on the property bar.

Fang Xing knew that his druid experience had increased…
