Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 29: Silver-feathered Duck

Morning dew, fluttering leaves and large trees.

Sitting on a sun lounger, Fengyu covered his eyes with a piece of cloth.

A blue sky, what a beautiful view it was.

"It’s been a long time since I have seen such a view.

In moments like these, one really seeks immortality the most, doesn’t one?

To see a blue sky ten thousand times, a million times or even a trillion times.

If such a view doesn’t make one wish one could see it for eternity... then what is the pursuit of immortality about?

Becoming stronger? Beating people? Coming out on top?"

He shook his head slightly.

If becoming stronger was all that one sought, then one might as well remain in a small village and not think about those things outside. Being a frog in the well is more suitable for such people.

The true pursuit of immortality is the wish to see the world in all its beauty throughout eternity.

When the sky is blue, even the moon is visible.

"For us, the moon moved along with the sun, from east to west. But in the starry skies, its true motion is from west to east.

I wonder if it’s the same here?

Moving across the starry sky, enjoying the company of stars, observing the world from above.

The moon, isn’t it the eternal symbol of immortality?

Calmly observing and enjoying it with no harm, benefitting people, guiding souls and leading the stars..."

A silent silver-blue light shone on Fengyu as he appreciated the moon.

His smile so bright, a future of happy wrinkles seems inevitable.

"Quack? You like the moon so much? What about the sun?" beside him, Zimu, also relaxing on a lounger, asked him curiously.

"You beasts absorb the power of the sun and moon, and it’s said Spirit Beasts can also absorb the power of the stars.

But what if I told you that the sun was just a large star?"

"Quack? No, this doesn’t make sense."

"Hehe, when something in the starry sky becomes large enough, it changes qualitatively too.

The sun is gigantic compared to the stars, an extremely hot sphere in the sky. Its power is countless times larger than that of the stars.

On the other hand, the moon is closer to our land than the starry sky.

It doesn’t have its own light, we only see it because the sun spreads its light.

So one may say that the moon is the mirror in the sky.

Isn’t it beautiful?"

"A mirror? Quack?" Zimu exclaimed in some surprise at the new information.

"Then, are there people on the moon?"

"Hmm? How would I know? In the myth, there are three goddesses on the moon. Later two of them became the empresses of your beast race! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But in the end, nothing came of it.

In addition, the ancient witches also worship the moon and sun, but the witches used to hate beasts, at least they had some animosity.

Witches loved eating beasts, and beasts required a lot of space, which made these two fight over resources a lot.

Now? I don’t know.

Maybe the beasts won, maybe the witches, or maybe none.

After all, in today’s world, the world is split into the human territory and the beast territory, even though there are myriad beast races, they still have to split the world with us, humans, a single race.

Isn’t it a bit funny?" Fengyu shook his head while Zimu stood on the spot, confused.

This was too much stuff he couldn’t understand.

"Hey, that aside, what happened to Silver Feather’s offspring? How strong is it?"

"It’s weak, there is no threatening aura. Do you really think it can advance to the low-grade first stage? Quack, even a single kick could send it away flying!" Zimu commented on his junior sister’s offspring.

Fengyu told it that from now on, every unique first-lineage parent would become its junior sister or brother, so he treated it as such.

It’s just... it was too weak.

"Haha, you say this because your own bloodline is at the peak of the low-grade. When will you break through? Never mind, don’t tell me. You should first strive to reach the peak of the early stage, right?"

Zimu nodded.

Just as the two were conversing, a loud quack came from afar –

[You raised your tamed beast, Spiritual Duck, to maturity, +3 Beast Origin Essence Strands]

[You raised a Spiritual Duck to the low-grade first stage, +3 Beast Origin Essence Core]

[You aided a Spirited Duck to break through to the low-grade first stage, +1 Spiritual Absorption Spell Expertise, +1 Vitality Recovering Spell Expertise, +1 Bloodline Enhancement Spell Expertise!]

[Your tamed beast, Spiritual Duck, has awakened an innate ability – Silver Feather. Gain Silver Feather Spell Expertise +100!]

A string of notifications came along, surprising Fengyu greatly.

Memories streamed into his mind rapidly, leaving him no second to pause.

"Huuuuh," he exhaled, the aching pain slightly less than before, but still great.

Looking up, he moved his hand rapidly but only said one thing – "Silver Feather Spell, Shoot!"

A silver feather materialised into the world, shooting right away into the trees.

It reached 110 metres, this time piercing several trees even more smoothly than before!

"Dao Language improves the effect of a spell. 100 spell expertise went right into this spell, breaking through the Entry stage and reaching the Minor Accomplishment stage! 110 metres range, stronger and more piercing... the general improvement is 10%!"

He looked in shock at the spell.

"Quack!" another loud quack came from the same place.

He hurriedly walked over there and saw Silver Feather looking at a duck in front of it, playing around slightly.

But when he looked at the duck, he saw that it was rather dull.

There was no light in its eyes. It quacked normally, as if what had happened wasn’t bothering it.

"Wild Beast?" Fengyu looked at the duck in surprise.

"Quack? Quack... quack." Silver Feather heard this and looked at the duck in front of it.

After a moment, it nodded and agreed with Fengyu’s evaluation.
