Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 49: Wind Step Spell

"Quack!" just as he asked, he saw a small duck stretch out its neck from behind a tree, looking at them curiously.

"Wind Claw, come here!" Fengyu called out with a smile.

"Quack, quack, quack!" the duck hurriedly rushed forward, its steps extremely smooth and fast, even jumping into Fengyu’s arms at the last moment.

"Hahaha, yeah, I missed you too. Did Spring Rain take good care of you?"

"Quack, quack, quack!" – he gave me food and water, and even cleaned my feathers!

"That’s good," Fengyu nodded with a smile and went in.

Wind Claw became an adult duck just a month ago, awakening right as it matured, following in the steps of Silver Feather.

Fengyu had naturally aided him there, because he had seen the bloodline strength of Wind Claw from the start.

It was even better than that of Silver Feather, but still only at the low-grade.

When he matured and awakened an ability, he also gave Fengyu a gift –

[Inherited Spell]

[Wind Steps Spell, Expertise: 110/1000 (Minor)]

He looked at the expertise with a smile.

Actually, after Wind Claw matured, he kept practicing his spell many times, giving feedback to Fengyu, whose spell then broke through from Entry to Minor Accomplishment.

This was also a function he found out when Spring Rain practiced his spells.

In the end, he was able to calculate that a duck gave him 10 expertise monthly, a lot more expertise than he could get on his own for any spell!

The only slightly comparable ones were his vitality spells, but they faced bottlenecks at each stage of comprehension, while his ducks’ spells were innate, skipping bottlenecks based on the density of their bloodline!

In addition, his Silver Feather spell also broke through to the Major Accomplishment stage, the stage of Dao Moves, which was why he was able to cast it with only one hand.

A sense of accomplishment, of having reached something, filled Fengyu for a long time before this trouble started.

Now, he felt that he was too weak and not progressing fast enough!

With a sigh, he entered the field and checked upon the other ducks, his four ducks following him.

First, he sent Zimu to the hut to refine the formation plate – a minimal refinement would be all it takes, not needing to deeply refine it since Fengyu had already done so and given permission to Zimu.

Then he told Silver Feather to let the ducks out again.

Spring Rain had already watered the fields, so instead he handed over Wind Claw and told him to teach him how to read.

In Fengyu’s training plan, every Spirit Duck would have to learn how to read and how to calculate, the basics of an intelligent being. Later, once they reached the second stage and their body went through a full regrowth, he’d teach them how to speak human language.

Seeing everyone working hard, he also went to the hut.

In front of his hut was a small rocking chair.

Sitting on it, he rocked forward and backward, his hands moving while he muttered in an inaudible language.

Inside his body, the vitality was stirring, moving along his thoughts, going through his whole body in a big circle.

Such a simple circulation of vitality is already a preventive measure against various illnesses.

Although as cultivators, they seem to be healthy at all times.

But in fact, their body is rising and falling, making it more susceptible to attacks in some regions.

A medical cultivator can see this from afar and combine uneven vitality circulation and various techniques such as acupoints to kill an enemy with only 10% of their power.

Just as he had started, he saw Silver Feather coming back.

In the past few months, he had clearly split the tasks of everyone – Zimu was the general manager, Silver Feather took care of the egg-laying ducks, Spring Rain helped raise the high-quality ducks, and Zimu had a general outlook on everything.

He was surprised to see Silver Feather leave her post right after she returned.

"Quack, quack... quack?" She told him of the swelling feeling she felt, which had become heavier after such a long time.

"Hmm, let me inspect your body. Last time I found nothing, but the feeling grew over the past few months, which means that it’s not a temporary swelling...

Though it shouldn’t be any illness since your vitality is doing well," he was curious, so he inspected her body in depth again.

This time, he saw that her vitality was actually slightly weak, surprising him slightly.

Inspecting the cause of it, he saw that the origin was in her reproductive organs!

When he looked there, he saw an egg growing slowly; from an extremely small form, it grew larger and a shell was hardening around it.

He saw that a lot of the vitality was being sucked by this small egg, seemingly sure to absorb her fully!

"Hmm?!" Fengyu was surprised, various thoughts going through his mind before he understood.

"You’re pregnant," he answered.

"Quack? Quack, quack quack." She asked whether he was sure that was all... after all, she was pregnant and laid an egg every few days, so why would she have a swelling for over a year when it was just pregnancy?

"Haha, no, this egg has extremely deep foundations and is sucking your vitality and bloodline alike. If I’m not wrong, then this should be your True Descendant!

Among egg-laying beasts, these descendants are rare and it’s not guaranteed you will have another, especially not if your body becomes too exhausted.

But the good thing is that by allowing your egg to absorb your bloodline and vitality, it will already have the same bloodline as you when it’s born, or even higher, since the process of becoming an egg and being born is a stage where bloodline refinement is fastest and easiest.

I have an idea for this..."

Looking at her, Fengyu started casting the Vitality Recovery spell, recovering her innate vitality again.

Then, he used his True Vitality Control Art...
