A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 326 - 316: Bountiful Harvest, Treasure of Destiny (Double - )

Chapter 326: Chapter 316: Bountiful Harvest, Treasure of Destiny (Double Chapter)

The reason Qi Ping chose such a place was well thought out.

Firstly, the basic choice for this place, just like the territory in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, is to be a desolate, unnoticed place.

However, compared to the territory in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, the second territory is even more secretive.

Especially in terms of location, the places the Small Stone Spirit can reach are difficult for ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Refining Cultivators to access, not to mention even if Golden Core Cultivators know the location, they might not reach it easily. If the rock is hard enough, and the rock layers are deep enough, it could take a Golden Core Cultivator months to cut through!

This basically rules out the possibility of being searched.

After all, the underground is so vast that even Nascent Soul Cultivators can’t conduct a carpet search, unlike the territory in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range which still has the possibility of being searched.

The biggest drawback of such a place is the lack of sunlight and starlight, making it impossible to cultivate many things, only allowing the nurturing of something like the Yellow Springs Tree, a Supreme Yin Spirit Wood.

This drawback means the second territory can only serve as a place of refuge, not as a place for development.

Safety and development cannot be both achieved, which is unfortunate.

After finalizing the search plan for the location of the second territory, Qi Ping called upon the Earth Vein Ant.

"Zhi zhi... (Boss, is there something you need me for?)"

The Earth Vein Ant King swiftly arrived upon hearing Qi Ping’s summons.

Ever since the Earth Vein Ant race was completely saved by Qi Ping, having gone through so much since then, they greatly admire Qi Ping.

"Assign a part of your clan to plan escape routes underground that are most suitable for the Earth Vein Ants to lead people away, yet difficult for other creatures to pursue..."

"Zhi zhi... (No problem, Boss. Can we add your arrays for assistance?)"

"Of course, I was just about to suggest that!"

"Zhi zhi... (Alright, Boss, wait for my good news!)"

After speaking, the Earth Vein Ant King vanished from Qi Ping’s sight. With its advantageous speed in underground movement, the Earth Vein Ant truly has a unique edge.

Having set up the escape routes, Qi Ping finally felt at ease.

In fact, the escape plan and routes had long been prepared by Qi Ping.

As long as his [Natural Perception] or the Little Immortal Tiger sensed any danger, the bees and Qi Ping within the territory would immediately pack all important items and swiftly escape.

Qi Ping is confident he can take away the most important items, like the Spirit Vein and the Bee King, within ten breaths.

Then, less important items would also be quickly moved in the following short period.

Although this territory has not been discovered by anyone so far, the sense of danger must not be neglected.

Now that he has a new animal companion, the Earth Vein Ant, it is natural to further improve the escape plan.

...

After handling all matters, Qi Ping moved towards the Nether Moon Soul Wood and the Blazing Sun Wood; it was time for him to fully cultivate these Spirit Woods that could produce Yin Yang Resources.

Meanwhile, outside the territory, the Tree-man Avatar was simultaneously inventorying and hiding the spoils while contemplating future development.

The only difference in inventorying the spoils this time was that Qi Ping used the Earth Vein Ant rather than the bees to hide the spoils, as the security and difficulty of searching underground are the highest.

"This harvest yielded thirteen Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts!"

Among them, there is one high-level Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, three intermediate-level, and nine low-level ones. The reason for such abundance is that some Golden Core Cultivators had more than one Tier Three Spiritual Artifact.

This harvest made Qi Ping very happy.

"With so many Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts, it should be enough to allow the Small Stone Spirit to break through to the late stage of Tier Three, and with the support of so many mineral veins, achieving Tier Three Perfection is also possible..."

The Small Stone Spirit, among Qi Ping’s many animal companions, improves in an inexplicable manner; as long as there are enough Spiritual Artifacts and high-grade minerals, its improvement rate is much faster than Qi Ping and Yaya.

It’s just a pity that Spiritual Artifacts and high-grade minerals are exceptionally precious and not so easy to obtain; otherwise, the Small Stone Spirit breaking through to Nascent Soul would not be a problem.

However, with such a harvest of Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts, plus many mineral veins that the Small Stone Spirit previously discovered underground, there is still a chance for it to reach Tier Three Perfection.

"As long as the Small Stone Spirit can break through to Tier Three Perfection, with its combat power, plus the nurtured Sin-Burning Sword, its battle strength will be first-class, and even with the Small Stone Spirit’s defense, it should be able to withstand attacks from ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators..."

"It’s just a pity that the Mountain and River Seal cannot be given to the Small Stone Spirit, or else its combat power would rise another notch..."

The Mountain and River Seal, which Qi Ping obtained from the Celestial Treasure Vault of the Cyan Origin Sect, has been thoroughly researched by him and is a Treasure of Destiny!

This Mountain and River Seal is connected to the mountains and rivers of the Qingtian Realm and can gather surging Power of Mountains and Rivers!

But to wield this treasure, one must gain the recognition of the Mountain and River destiny, so currently, only Qi Ping is able to wield this Treasure of Destiny.

"Moreover, because of its damaged state, the Mountain and River Seal has dropped from Tier Four to Tier Three. I wonder if giving it to the Small Stone Spirit could nurture it back; if it could return to Tier Four, its true combat power would be entirely restored..."

Qi Ping is very fond of this magical treasure, the Mountain and River Seal.

Thinking of the old man from the Sect Treasure Vault who recommended it to him, Qi Ping felt deep gratitude.

Besides these weapons, Qi Ping didn’t find anything else particularly surprising.

Finding something comparable to the Yellow Springs Tree again is a pipe dream.

"As expected, discovering treasures like the Yellow Springs Tree was just luck. Most of the time, no surprises are normal; otherwise, these Golden Core Cultivators wouldn’t have resorted to targeting newly transcendent cultivators."

"The only relatively decent finds are quite a few cultivation techniques and spells, Tier Three Spirit Woods, and Tier Two seeds of Spiritual Medicines, which can nicely enrich the types of Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Woods in the territory..."

Over the years, with Qi Ping’s accumulation and farming, the variety of Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Woods in his territory is incredibly rich and produces quite a few resources annually, all of which are now accumulated in Qi Ping’s Storage Bag and hidden throughout the Qingtian Realm by the Earth Vein Ant.

"Lastly, all these remaining items will be sold to the Mysterious Black Market!"

"Just in time, I’ve obtained a significant number of Black Market Points by slaying five Golden Core Cultivators from the Immortal Alliance..."

One could say that Black Market Points are Qi Ping’s greatest gain this time!

Because acquiring Black Market Points is much harder than other resources.

"Next, I will invest all resources into cultivating the bee swarm and Yaya!"

Qi Ping plans, apart from using a portion of Black Market Points to purchase a few Yin Yang Five Elements Techniques and knowledge for reference, to use the rest to buy Spirit Woods that can produce Yin Yang Resources and special Yin Yang-type Spiritual Medicine!

Whether the Netherworld Bee and Celestial Brilliance Bee can be cultivated to Tier Four and how much their numbers can explode will directly affect whether Qi Ping can smoothly break through to the Golden Core Stage!

"As long as the Netherworld Bee and Celestial Brilliance Bee are cultivated, they can definitely face off against Nascent Soul Cultivators!"

"And with the addition of the Beast King True Form, as long as the bee swarm is numerous enough, my power can be elevated to rival the Nascent Soul level, and with the Mountain and River Seal in hand, even if faced with Nascent Soul-level enemies, there will be enough strength to handle them..."

With these bases covered, Qi Ping took action immediately.

While the Qingtian Realm was in chaos and upheaval because of the craze stirred up by the Bee Daoist, Qi Ping quietly sold all the spoils he obtained to the Mysterious Black Market, while buying several Yin Yang Techniques, a large batch of Yin Yang Attribute Spirit Woods, and resources of Spiritual Medicines!

When the Cyan Origin Sect and the Immortal Alliance were frantically searching the Qingtian Realm for any trace of the Bee Daoist, Qi Ping was peacefully farming and raising bees in his territory...

This time, Qi Ping’s goal is to cultivate a swarm of bees capable of sweeping through Qingtian!
