The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 559 - 245: The Bizarre Taoist Candidates_3

Its abilities far exceed those of a D-level "Priest". Many injuries that baffle the priests could be easily handled by the Tree Doctor.

Most importantly, this is a position with "potential for growth".

As long as there are enough patients and wounded, along with the support of Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, the Tree Doctor can grow rapidly, able to ascend to the 5th rank within approximately 5 to 8 years.

Unique healing abilities of Tree Doctor can also assist the Spirit Fond team, providing stronger endurance based on GuaGua’s foundation.

A scene flashed through Ye Hanjun’s mind—

A fierce battle, with the Goose Immortal on the brink of death, covered in injuries.

He, as the Tree Doctor, grafts and twists GuaGua’s ability to his advantage.

Although GuaGua’s does not belong to the Wood Element, it can still be enhanced by using "GuaGua Brand Shower Gel" and "GuaGua Brand Body Lotion".

In the blink of an eye, the Goose Immortal is fully resurrected.

Then, the Goose Immortal bursts into hearty laughter and shouts "Ready for another three hundred rounds with this Immortal!", and rushes back into the enemy’s ranks.

Doesn’t it sound good?

Not just once, but multiple times.

This abnormally resilient ability, when the time comes, will definitely become a nightmare for many, indeed worthy of looking forward to.

"Understood, another qualified one!"

Lin Pingfan took the lead with Ma Yi trailing behind him in a familiar routine.

The second group of reserve Daozi only consists of four people.

However, they are all of a minimum C-level and advanced within the past three months, representing a barrier insurmountable for most talents.

Already, it’s a commendable achievement for the Giant Frog Marsh to gather four people in one month.

It’s completely reasonable for them to become candidates for Daozi, as long as their aspirations do not conflict with those of Master Han.

"Emperor Han, I am Qian Yingjun, a C-level ’Single Noble’, do I need to introduce my abilities myself?"

The third one to enter the curtain was a handsome man, adorned in gold and silver.

Even his belly was flat, his demeanour cool, imposing as a tree, with each action and word of his exuding grace and poise.

Compared to him, the aristocrats outside the curtain somehow felt distanced as if his good manners and education were innate, while theirs were more of a later-acquired masquerade.

"Single Noble..."

Ye Hanjun tilted his head and pinched his brow.

He didn’t expect the Giant Frog Marsh to have this kind of position.

While it is strong, capable of making one handsome and imposing, and making the spirit of the Contracted Spirit Fond exude a strong yang energy that frightening spirits dare not approach.

Yet it’s weird, as the holder of this position must remain single for a lifetime.

If one dares to have a carnal interaction with the opposite sex, there’s only one outcome—sudden death on the spot.

...

Ye Hanjun waved his hand and Li Jingming understood, escorting the ’Single Noble’ back the way he came.

"If the ’Single Noble’ is appointed as a Daozi, who knows what changes will occur in the abilities shared among us?"

"A forcibly promoted ’Single Noble’, who knows what ’Law-Figure-World’ will turn out to be..."

"Forget about it, don’t think about it, it’s too bizarre and abnormal, definitely not something a normal person can bear."

Dispatching these distracting thoughts, Ye Hanjun restrained his curiosity.

The Hotpot Expert and the Tree Doctor can both be considered as serious candidates.

But he decided to dismiss the Single Noble, there was no need to worry about it unnecessarily.

"Master Han, the fourth person is here."

After sending off Qian Yingjun, Li Jingming brought in a newcomer.

Ye Hanjun glanced over, slightly taken aback.

All the others, whether from the first or second batch, were dressed to the nines.

This person, however, was clad in a worn-out white robe.

Although clean, the simplicity stood out, bringing a stark contrast to the grandeur of the others.

"Ah, please forgive me, Emperor Han ."

"I usually keep to myself, living alone in the mountains, all my clothes are made from silk or cotton I gather myself. My skills are lacking, I beg your forgiveness if they’re not up to par."

"What?" Ye Hanjun raised his eyebrows, "You said you live in the mountains alone?"

"Yes."

Yu Ruoxin looked at him with some reverence, quickly lowered her head, and answered helplessly:

"I am a distant relative of the Yu Clan from the Frog Country. The young masters and ladies in my main family can easily awaken their Wood and Earth elements as ’Magic Apprentices’. As for these offshoots like us, blood is not pure, nine out of ten awaken as ’Farmers’."

A ’Magic Apprentice’, after all, is a leader in E-class abilities.

’Farmer’, which is a G-class ability, is at the bottom of the lower ranks, or more delicately put, can be described as ’a slightly stronger mortal’."

Ye Hanjun nodded slightly, listening to Yu Ruoxin:

"However... however, I seem to be luckier..."

"At eighteen, I passively awakened a profession, unexpectedly it was the E-level ’Farmer’, With my Contracted Spirit, I can finish the work of hundreds of old men in one hour."

"Farmer?" Su Mei blinked, her eyes showing a strange luster.

This profession is rather rare, considered to be the upgraded version of ’Farmer’.

Whatever the enhancement of the abilities, within the field of farming and planting, it must be one of the leaders.

The question is - how can a ’Farmer’ possibly be promoted to the 4th order before he’s 50 years old?

How can an E class profession go through one job change and jump to the C class?

The confusion didn’t last long, Yu Ruoxin answered cautiously, clutching her fingers:

"I...I don’t know..."

"My parents passed away early, and other than paying homage to my ancestors once a year, I’ve hardly interacted with my main family."

"All my life, I’ve basically been living alone in the mountains, with chickens and ducks for company, with insects and birds as friends. I’m carefree without the troubles of city life."

"I also love farming very much. I work from sunrise to sunset, without realizing it, my profession was promoted to the 2nd rank, then the 3rd rank."

"I seldom pay attention to these things because I don’t care about them that much."

"But a month and a half ago, it seems I awoke to find myself in the 4th rank."

"Because the change was too great, so much so that the spirits of the entire mountain surrounded me, I was a little scared, I had no choice but to find my main family and seek their help."

Ye Hanjun’s eyes gradually focused.

He asked slowly, word by word:

"Did they tell you what your profession is?"

"No."

Yu Ruoxin lowered her head, almost crying:

"During the examination, a very expensive crystal ball was broken. An old man with a cane said that only a C-level profession could possibly harm it."

"They checked a lot of data and asked a lot of scholars, but they were still unable to confirm my ability."

"They heard Emperor Han was recruiting Taoists and sent me here, saying perhaps Emperor Han would have the answer..."

"Magic apprentice of the Earth and Wood systems, a weakened farmer, and a stronger farmer?"

"After the job change, flowers bloom where you pass, trees bear fruit, the lands grow lush, and all the spirits of the mountain cluster around you?"

Ye Hanjun sifts through his memory and recalls an ancient legend.

He stands up with some seriousness, supports Yu Ruoxin who has bowed to the ground, and takes her to the newly built back garden.

"Perhaps... you’ve come across a situation that is one in a million."

"This sounds like a legendary profession, named ’Landlord’. Although it’s only a C-level, its value surpasses most B-levels. It’s a special talent that any force would want to have."

"Ah?"

Yu Ruoxin shrinks her neck, although she’s also a 4th order Patron, she is far more timid than just about anyone else.

"Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you."

"If what I suspect is true, and if you’re willing, you would be the sole candidate as a Taoist."

Ye Hanjun’s words— as soft as the wind, firm as iron.
