Aksai's eyebrows shot up in surprise as he read through the description. His heart beat faster, not because of the blessing itself, but because of its implications.
"Druid's Heart…" he muttered, his voice trailing off. His fingers hovered near the glowing screen, tracing the words in the air as if he needed to confirm their reality. "Isn't this like a Berserker mode?"
The thought struck him hard. A 10% boost across all body stats, even for a short period, could be a ga-changer in a tight situation.
Strength, speed, agility, and defense—everything would be heightened. It was the kind of enhancent that could turn a losing battle into a victory. Especially when he used it at the ti of executing his Qi-based martial arts.
But there were risks.
He frowned, reading the downsides carefully. Post-activation weakness was a significant drawback. Fatigue could be dangerous in prolonged fights, especially if he needed to retreat or fend off multiple enemies after the boost wore off.
The cooldown period was another concern—if triggered at the wrong ti, he could be left vulnerable until the blessing recharged.
Aksai rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I'll need to be careful when I use this thing."
Aksai then leaned forward, his anticipation building as he accessed the fourth and final Druid's Blessing in his arsenal.
The spectral screen flickered to life again, and as soon as the blessing's details materialized, his eyes widened in disbelief.
This ti, the blessing wasn't common or uncommon—it was rare.
[ Druid's Blessing: Fire Resistance

Type: Active
Grade: Rare
Spirit Farming Points spent: 42,000 ]
Aksai blinked, reading and rereading the blessing's description.
"42,000 Points for a blessing?" he muttered, his voice tinged with shock as his eyes trailed down to the bottom of the screen.
He exhaled sharply, shaking his head. "Is it because it's a rare-grade blessing?"
The sheer cost of the blessing was staggering. Compared to the previous blessings, this one had consud more than half of his accumulated Spirit Farming Points. Still, the effect it offered was undeniably unique and powerful.
"Fire resistance…" Aksai murmured, narrowing his eyes. Fire was one of the most destructive elents in combat, and Spirit cultivators who specialized in fire-elent techniques were notoriously dangerous.
The ability to halve all fire damage? That was already a huge advantage. But the real advantage was the enhanced protection against non-intent-based fire-elent Spirit spells.
He knew exactly what that ant: standard fire-elent spells—the kind most Spirit cultivators used—would be significantly weakened against him. Among his Foundation Building peers, Aksai did not need to worry too much even when facing the fire-elent Spirit spells head on.
Only the most advanced intent-based fire spells, wielded by powerful experts, would remain a true threat.
Aksai's mind raced with possibilities. His eyes lingered on the line about stackability.
"Stackable… with potions or artifacts…" Aksai muttered, rubbing his chin. This made the blessing unique compared to the others. While the Druid's Heart and Night Wind had clear limitations, Fire Resistance offered room for enhancent.
"If I can find the right potion or artifact," he mused, "I could extend this blessing's upti during a battle." That versatility alone made it worth the high cost.
Still, there was a catch. The blessing wasn't without its drawbacks.
If he overexerted himself or found himself in extre conditions—like a volcanic region—the cooldown could be longer than expected.
Worse, if he activated it at the wrong ti, he could be left vulnerable once it wore off.
Aksai glanced over at Velia, who had been quietly observing his reaction.
"Lady Velia," he began, "why do so blessings use more Spirit Farming Points than the others? Is it only because of their grades, or is there sothing else I should know?"
'I think this heretic druid has ulocked an entirely different genre of blessings because of his diverse cultivation paths,' Velia thought to herself and sighed before answering.
"I suppose rare blessings are rare for a reason, lad. They're not just stronger—they're harder to obtain and often specialized in ways that can alter the flow of battle."
She crossed her arms, her expression thoughtful.
"I think I understand what you an when you say rare. I have seen so genuises from a few druid clans with these types of blessings.
Unlike ordinary blessings, rare blessings should often co with adaptive qualities, like the ability to stack or extend their duration. It ans that most of them would be highly compatible with external influences.
That's a feature most lower-grade blessings don't have. You're not just getting a one-dintional use—you're getting versatility."
Aksai nodded slowly, absorbing her words.
Yelia added in her soft, calm tone, "The cost isn't just about strength. It's about potential. These so-called rare blessings should evolve alongside your cultivation. If you learn how to use them wisely, they'll grow with you.
There's a chance these blessings can change their grades for better if and when your cultivation bases increases or when your druid bloodline goes through another round of refinent.
Or…. you can forcefully upgrade these blessings yourself after using sufficient intent-based accumalation."
