A Farmer's Journey To Immortality-Chapter 437: Druid’s Heart & Fire Resistance
[ Druid's Blessing: Druid's Heart
Effect: For a limited time, the host's heart rate surges to such a degree that it becomes audible in their ears. During this period, all body stats are temporarily boosted by 10%. Qi-essence-based.
Strength, response time, agility, and defenses are all elevated, enhancing the host's overall combat abilities.
Not stackable: Cannot be triggered if already active.
Cooldown required: After activation, the blessing requires a short cooldown, dependent on the host's condition, before reactivation.
Post-activation weakness: The host experiences fatigue and weakness following its use.
Type: Active
Grade: Uncommon
Spirit Farming Points spent: 22,000 ]
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 game-changer in a tight situation.
Strength, speed, agility, and defense—everything would be heightened. It was the kind of enhancement that could turn a losing battle into a victory. Especially when he used it at the time 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 time, 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 time, the blessing wasn't common or uncommon—it was rare.
[ Druid's Blessing: Fire Resistance
Effect: For a limited time, the host gains the ability to resist fire damage.
All types of fire damage are reduced by 50%. Spirit-essence-based.
Enhanced protection against non-intent-based fire-element Spirit spells.
Stackable: The blessing's uptime can be extended using suitable potions or enhanced with a compatible artifact.
Cooldown required: After activation, the blessing requires a short cooldown, depending on the host's physical condition and the environment.
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 consumed 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 elements in combat, and Spirit cultivators who specialized in fire-element 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-element Spirit spells.
He knew exactly what that meant: standard fire-element 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-element 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 enhancement.
"If I can find the right potion or artifact," he mused, "I could extend this blessing's uptime 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 extreme conditions—like a volcanic region—the cooldown could be longer than expected.
Worse, if he activated it at the wrong time, 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 some blessings use more Spirit Farming Points than the others? Is it only because of their grades, or is there something 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 mean when you say rare. I have seen some genuises from a few druid clans with these types of blessings.
Unlike ordinary blessings, rare blessings should often come with adaptive qualities, like the ability to stack or extend their duration. It means 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-dimentional 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 refinement.
Or…. you can forcefully upgrade these blessings yourself after using sufficient intent-based accumalation."
