Chapter 109: Chapter 85: The Path to Stronger through Being Passive

Gu Shanhai planted an oak seed within himself, catalyzed it with mana, let it germinate, and nurtured it through the Spirit Plant aura.

The entire process was quite smooth, and the remaining seeds were solemnly put aside for later, waiting until the oak seed germinated and he could cultivate it into a Spirit Plant.

He actually wanted to plant them all, but he couldn’t afford to nurture so many at once; such matters required a gradual approach and could not be rushed.

Even though his spiritual energy and mana were quite abundant, he couldn’t just recklessly use it all on the Spirit Plant, as that could put him at risk.

Even though Deer Plain was very safe, and the Marked Druid Elder was there, Gu Shanhai never relied on others for his safety.

Three days passed in a flash, and the oak tree was successfully cultivated into a Spirit Plant. Understanding its significance, Gu Shanhai renamed it the Enlightenment Tree; Druids were also called Oak Sages, hence the oak tree was often synonymous with Druids.

During these three days, Gu Shanhai was far from idle. He first learned all three level-0 divination spells and permanently integrated them into his body.

"This place is full of spiritual light..."

Gu Shanhai’s eyes were almost blinded by the brilliance. Detect Magic had three aspects: one was the presence of energy or traces of transcendence, which would form spiritual light, generally used to check whether something was transcendental; the second was the strength and number of the strongest transcendental entities; the third was naturally the location and strength of those entities.

However, since it was a level-0 skill, energy fields, multiple spell effects, or powerful area effects might distort or hide weaker transcendental spiritual light.

Moreover, the intensity of the spiritual light depended on the spell level or the level of the items’ spellcasters involved. If a spiritual light included multiple types, this spell would display the stronger one.

So, in fact, Gu Shanhai had solidified such a special vision, but not just that.

Besides permanently integrating Detect Magic, he also integrated Detect Poison.

This allowed him to detect if a creature, an object, or space was poisoned, and it could penetrate barriers to identify poisons, albeit only up to a thickness of 5 cm, and the barrier had to be of ordinary metal or wood.

However, to further explore the type and effects of toxins, Gu Shanhai had to rely on his own knowledge.

The last one was the reading magic he most frequently used.

All three spells were vision-based and auxiliary.

Currently, his "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture" third tier perception was gradually integrating into the entire Marked Druid’s divination system.

As for the Marking system, it was slowly being incorporated into the first tier, Essence of Spirit.

The first tier’s six natural marks had all been successfully condensed by him, although this... did not increase his strength by much.

After quantification, each attribute increased only by about 10 points, and he also gained corresponding professional talents, which was what Gu Shanhai had mentioned before about resisting natural temptations, thus increasing all resistances by about 10 points. This professional talent grew with the first tier’s six natural marks.

Following that, the second tier’s four natural marks were the elemental marks of wind, fire, water, and earth.

The mark of wind would increase Gu Shanhai’s movement speed.

The mark of fire would increase his attack power.

The mark of water would increase his physical recovery ability.

The mark of earth would strengthen his immunity.

These were extensions of the first tier’s six natural marks, but all were enhancements to himself.

However, Gu Shanhai did not start practicing them immediately; instead, he began learning level-1 divination spells. As for the level-1 Druid Divine Skills, Gu Shanhai had no plans to learn them, even though they were comprehensive, because he was not lacking in methods.

Mainly because all the divinatory spells could form corresponding links with the Yuan Suo Grass and Xuanwei Sect spells, greatly enhancing their effects.

"Internal Organ Divination Skill tells me you’re going to have bad luck today; I wonder if it’s accurate?" Gu Shanhai looked at the dissected rat, then at Little White.

Little White looked bewildered at Gu Shanhai, wondering why it would be the unlucky one.

Internal Organ Divination Skill, part of the genuine Sacrificial Divination Skill, was unlike divinatory spells, which were subdivisions with various effects.

Once used, it naturally provided an answer, although not always accurate. As for divinatory spells, they were more for self-defense and detection, somewhat superfluous on Druids and difficult to learn.

Not even people like Mafas had learned much.

However, to formally learn level-1 Druid divinatory spells, it wouldn’t be as simple as level-0 tricks; first, you’d need Internal Organ Divination Skill, the core foundation of all divinatory spells. If not proficient, you wouldn’t be able to learn the following spells, even if you had the natural marks.

Thus, Gu Shanhai was practicing Internal Organ Divination Skill here.

It was not as simple as the DND divinatory wizards, after all, it was a Druid variant version.

Fortunately, his learning speed was still very fast. Having studied Xuanwei Sect spells and with the help of Yuan Suo Grass, his accuracy was at least 30% higher than others.

He was even thinking about how to merge Internal Organ Divination Skill with Xuanwei Sect spells to form a new Divination Skill and then integrate it into the second tier of "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture" · Perception.
