And then Gu Shanhai directly charged it with mana, allowing the depleted energy to be restored once again.

"The capacity of the mark is too small, it seems I’ve allocated all the points into attributes and growth," said Gu Shanhai, having restored the power of the elemental blessings within the natural mark with approximately 10 points of mana.

Not long ago, he had once again condensed the first mark of the second layer of the Wind, which instantly increased the attributes of the original six first-layer marks from 10 points to 20 each, and also endowed them with a special effect each.

Gu Shanhai had tested it before and found that in addition to fixed values, percentage effects also appeared. Currently, the six attributes were being increased by an additional 5% on top of their original values, a base that had a very high priority and could continue to grow.

According to his estimates, if the four natural marks of the second layer were all successfully condensed, this percentage might reach 50%.

Other people probably didn’t have this effect; it was an elemental blessing translated from the ritual’s calculations by Gu Shanhai that elevated natural sensations to a higher level, hence the additional effects. Other Marked Druids would only experience it after possessing the second layer’s four natural marks, and even then, only a 10% increase in proportional effect.

Of course, there might be more than this one effect. If the Fire mark condensed again, not only would the percentage increase, but additional effects might also appear.

He had tried to deduce this, and indeed there was such a possibility.

"If I go on like this, I might become a passive freak," Gu Shanhai sighed. The small capacity of his natural mark led to a lesser amount of elemental blessing because most of the capacity had been allocated to various effects.

However, compared to the Divine Arts, he naturally favored passives, because he could recharge with mana at any time. But passives were different; they were a rarity.

After testing the Druid Divine Skills a couple of times, Gu Shanhai increasingly discarded the thought of using them. They weren’t as effective as the Fierce General, who could at least fight.

Then he leisurely returned to Deer Plain. To test, he had left Deer Plain since it was full of magical animals that were not suitable for his experiments.

"Understanding languages, Detect Secret Door, Detect Undead have all been permanently fixed. Next, I’ll go back and choose two Level 1 Divination spells to fix in place."

Gu Shanhai muttered to himself. It’s not that he didn’t want to continue fixing them in place, but he was struggling a bit with the consumption.

He had many expenses at the moment. It’s not that the spells wouldn’t consume energy after being fixed in place; they still needed energy, only they wouldn’t disappear.

It was akin to permanently active skills, always in effect.

Moreover, Gu Shanhai had meticulously applied all super-magic techniques to each fixed Divination spell before fixing it, otherwise, the consumption wouldn’t have been so substantial.

Given his large mana reserve, he could probably only use about one-tenth of it.

Therefore, the current plan was to fix two more Divination spells, then work on enhancing Yunling Grass and Purifying Grass. Otherwise, it would affect him.

"I’ll choose Identification and Act Beforehand," Gu Shanhai had not thought much about the combination, as his aim was to fix all the spells on himself eventually, so he just selected in sequence.

"Speaking of which, this language understanding is quite good. Combined with Read Magic, Scholar’s Touch, and the languages and scripts I’ve collected myself, it’s truly an excellent match."

Understanding Languages allows one to comprehend spoken words by creatures or read otherwise incomprehensible written messages.

In either case, one must be in contact with the creature or text.

The spell only allows you to understand the literal meaning, not to grasp the concepts behind it.

It also only allows you to listen to or read other languages but not to speak or write them.

At least it can be used to distinguish some minor languages. If he had had this ability before, he could have directly interrogated the aliens of the previous world.

It’s something he could use to fill in the gaps.

Detection of Secret Doors and Detection of Undead were similar to the previous Detect Poison and Detect Magic, being perspective-based detection spells that utilized Divination, and not just reliant on sight alone.

Detech Secret Door might still be useful, but Detect Undead could become quite redundant in this world. People were barely surviving; it was far too fanciful to think that corpses would come back to life.

However, it would be useful in other worlds.

"Damn, this means I might have to slow down the development of the second Spirit Plant."

"I’m being too impatient, I need to calm down."

Gu Shanhai found that he had a lot to do. Time seemed ample yet scarce.

If he wasn’t planning to join the Red Dragon King in the future, there indeed was plenty.

However, if he wanted to continue collecting various growth nutrients, he couldn’t stay in Deer Plain for too long.

Although Deer Plain was excellent and very suitable for undercover cultivation, its true value had already been lost.

For Gu Shanhai, the worth of Deer Plain wasn’t in its resources, but in the complete legacy of knowledge. Just like now, he rarely asked the Druid Elders like Mafas for cultivation resources. The most straightforward request was for seeds of the Holy Tree, and Mafas told him to pick them up himself.

As for Little White, that was part of his welfare benefits; everyone had an animal companion.

"I’ve been too complacent lately, which made me anxious. I need to adjust my mentality," Gu Shanhai quickly calmed himself down.

"There’s plenty of time before the other party pulls the Stone Sword—Golden. At least two months, I shouldn’t be too rushed."

"Two months is enough time to complete my current plan."

Gu Shanhai’s plan was simple: to find a way to permanently fix all Level 1 Divination spells onto himself so he could leave with confidence.

As for other matters, for this plan, whether it’s the Spirit Plants, the "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture," or the natural marks, they all needed to keep pace; otherwise, his frail body wouldn’t hold up.

"Once I’m out there, I need to find a Knight’s legacy to learn, otherwise my physical ability won’t be sufficient," Gu Shanhai added another task.

Since Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt and Child Skill had become obsolete, he naturally needed to choose a higher-end Cultivation Technique to enhance his physical body.

He wasn’t picky, whether it was integrating a Knight’s legacy into his Little Blood Bull’s three-piece set or vice versa; as long as it made him stronger, it was acceptable.
