Druid Profession Awakening in progress...
Please select your Main Profession and Sub Profession...
Your profession choice will determine your skill development; please choose carefully...
Sub-profession options: Totem Druid, Beast King Druid, Scourge Druid, Ocean Druid, Swamp Druid, Desert Druid, Iron Druid, Jungle Druid, Mountain Druid, Sky Druid...
"These options are exactly the same as when I played in my previous life. Players can choose one Main Profession and one Sub Profession from the sub-professions of a profession template…"
Among them, Druids have the most sub-professions, known as the all-rounder profession, and their strength Ranks thirteenth among the twelve professions!
"Main Profession: Beast King Druid!"
"Sub Profession: Jungle Druid!"
Qi Ping made his choice after a moment of contemplation.
A Beast King Druid can have more than one Animal Companion and can share one Talent from their Animal Companion.
His own Talent is not high, so choosing Beast King Druid can, to some extent, compensate for this shortcoming by sharing the Animal Companion's Talent.
This is difficult for other sub-professions to achieve.
Jungle Druids are best suited for cultivating Spirit Medicine in the Cultivation World, and their most representative Spell is Plant Growth, which can accelerate the growth of Spirit Medicine.
The value of this effect in the Cultivation World is terrifyingly high.
Among wealth, companions, land, and Spells, wealth Ranks first in the Cultivation World, and Spirit Medicine, to some extent, represents wealth.

"It's no different from when I played in my previous life!"
Seeing the familiar options, an undisguised look of joy appeared on Qi Ping's face.
This modified version of the starting skills is simply perfect! It's much more playable than the normal version.
"Choose Animal Communication, Turning Beasts into Friends, and Beast King's Grace!"
The functions of these skills do not require much explanation.
As for why he temporarily gave up Dominate Beast, there are two reasons:
Firstly, there is a possibility of domination failure, especially given that animals in the Cultivation World generally have relatively high intelligence. Unless the skill Rank can be upgraded to a relatively high level, success cannot be guaranteed.
Secondly, Qi Ping does not have many animals around him that he can dominate, while the other three skills can immediately help Qi Ping bond with powerful Animal Companions.
"Choose Plant Growth!"
This skill is the main reason Qi Ping chose Jungle Druid, and it is also the core skill in farming-style gameplay.
Can a Druid who doesn't have Plant Growth still be called a Druid?
Just relying on the Plant Growth skill, he won't starve in the Cultivation World, but the specific strength still needs to be tested.

As the profession panel formed, a green light suddenly flashed over Qi Ping's body.
After this green light, Qi Ping felt that his entire being had changed!
In his perception, a lot of plant Spiritual Qi, which he felt quite affinity for, also appeared between heaven and earth. Compared to the affinity of his previous Low Grade Wood Spiritual Root, the difference was at least tenfold.
Besides the perception of Spiritual Qi, the biggest change was undoubtedly the change regarding the box of Black Little Bees in front of him.
As a Beast King Druid, after possessing the Turning Beasts into Friends skill, the Black Little Bees became extremely affectionate towards him, even curiously flying onto him, buzzing to express their friendliness.
"Awakening successful!"
Feeling his changed body and the knowledge of Druid Spells in his mind, Qi Ping was incomparably delighted!
"Finally, I'm not just a Qi Refining First Level Cultivator with low Talent and Comprehension Ability anymore!"
From then on, he finally had hope in the Cultivation World!
"Now, as long as I bond with a powerful Animal Companion, my safety will be somewhat guaranteed."
"Then I can earn Spirit Stones through farming to cultivate my Animal Companion, and accumulate experience for leveling up along the way…"
"However, the most urgent matter now is to first figure out the cause of the Black Little Bees' agitation…"
Spring and summer are when honey production is highest, and these two seasons can sell for a good amount of Spirit Stones!
Looking at the Black Little Bees still buzzing wildly in front of him, Qi Ping, according to the knowledge in his mind, touched a mysterious energy with his will...
The next moment, Qi Ping's world changed.
The dense buzzing sounds became meaningful sounds to Qi Ping.
"Buzz buzz… (There are big Bees, big Bees…)"
"Buzz buzz… (Underground big Bees…)"
"Buzz buzz… (Stealing honey, stealing honey…)"
"Buzz buzz… (Golden big Bees, fierce… dangerous…)"
"Buzz buzz… (Stealing our nectar… we need to move)"
…
Good heavens!
Thousands of Black Little Bees buzzing together almost made Qi Ping's brain crash!
It took him a while to adapt.
"Underground big Bees? Golden? Stealing nectar?"
"No way…"
Based on the keywords spoken by the Black Little Bees, a guess vaguely arose in Qi Ping's mind… Underground Gold Marrow Honey Bee!
The only answer Qi Ping could think of that fit these conditions was the Underground Gold Marrow Honey Bee!
"If the cause of the Bee Swarm's agitation really is the Underground Gold Marrow Honey Bee, then it's truly a blessing in disguise!"
The Underground Gold Marrow Honey Bee is a rather rare type of Bees. Not only is their combat power higher than that of Gold-Striped Hornets, but they are also excellent at making honey, with the honey's value being at least ten times that of the Black Little Bees.
However, this type of Gold Marrow Bee is quite difficult to raise, so they have always been quite rare, and their rarity is dozens of times that of the Black Little Bees.
Qi Ping originally planned to give the first Animal Companion slot to a Gold-Striped Hornet, because the Gold-Striped Hornet was the most powerful animal he could currently obtain.
"However, if what the Black Little Bees are talking about truly are Gold Marrow Bees, then having them as my first Animal Companion would be at least ten times better than a Gold-Striped Hornet!"
The combat power of Gold Marrow Bees is not only above that of Gold-Striped Hornets, but their honey-making ability also far surpasses that of Black Little Bees and Gold-Striped Hornets!
