"Spirit Beast Cultivation: Demon Insect Chapter?"
Seeing these words, Qi Ping felt a shock in his heart.
"No way..."
Recently, he had been trying various methods to cultivate the Golden Marrow Bees, but besides relying on plant growth to stack resources, he hadn't come up with anything...
After much consideration, Qi Ping felt that he could only rely on the Beast Taming Sect's cultivation knowledge, after all, how could one person compare to the beast cultivation knowledge passed down for thousands of years?
But that would be a long time later because Qi Ping hadn't heard of any manual about spirit beast cultivation appearing in Qingshi County.
In Qingshi County, not only are combat-type spirit beasts hard to find, but beast taming techniques are even rarer.
Qi Ping even prepared himself to search for methods to help the Golden Marrow Bees break through their bloodline tier, even if he needed to do so after reaching Foundation Establishment, because he believed the Golden Marrow Bee had great potential, with a talent for brewing artisanship, if he could cultivate them to Tier Two, the value of the Golden Marrow Bees would increase exponentially!
Elixirs at the Foundation Establishment Level are worth many times more than those at the Qi Refining Stage, even though at that time the honey of the Golden Marrow Bees may still not compare to elixirs, the value would definitely not be too low, at least it would hold immeasurable value for Qi Ping's cultivation!
Yet this thing, which Qi Ping expected to obtain at least at the late-stage Qi Refining or even Foundation Establishment Stage, just appeared in his hands so effortlessly!
It's unbelievable!
"I hope there's a method for cultivating bee-type spirit beasts..."
With excitement and anxiety, Qi Ping continued to browse through the book.
[Demon Insect Cultivation Introduction: Although demon insect-type beast taming is one of the most difficult among all beast taming types, its cultivation difficulty is relatively easier because there's a large room for trial and error and a low demand for rare herbs...]
[Basic Cultivation Methods: Spiritual Medicine Cultivation, Carnivorous Cultivation...]
[Special Cultivation Methods: Mutagenic Potion, this book introduces seven main mutagenic potions...]
[Mainstream Demon Insects Introduction & Cultivation Characteristics: Blood Mosquito... Blood Fiend Worm... Viper Ant... Illusionary Dream Moth...]
[Mutagenic Potion One: Bloodline Mutation Potion (Main Ingredients: Flowing Light Grass, Blood Ginseng...)]
...
After a quick browse, Qi Ping, although he didn't find the introduction or cultivation method for bee-type spirit insects, was nevertheless replaced with strong delight on his face!
After briefly skimming through this "Spirit Beast Cultivation: Demon Insect Chapter", Qi Ping's mind was instantly opened!
Although this demon insect cultivation manual only introduces cultivation methods for demon insects and doesn't involve knowledge about contracts, combat, or emotion cultivation, and even the seven mutagenic potions were only down to three!
But for Qi Ping, it was already very surprising!
Because he possesses the Beast King Druid profession, the most difficult contracts and emotion cultivation are not the key for him, what Qi Ping truly lacked was the spirit beast cultivation method!
Although this "Spirit Beast Cultivation: Demon Insect Chapter" didn't introduce a specific method for bee-type cultivation, Qi Ping could discover many applicable cultivation methods from it.
He could deduce from some texts certain demon insects' combat methods and important information not related to spirit beast cultivation.
Moreover, according to the introduction of the demon insect cultivation manual, five of the seven potions above could be used on the vast majority of demon insects!
As for the remaining three mutagenic potions, all belonged to the universal class of potions, meaning that these three mutagenic potions should be basically usable for Golden Marrow Bees!
Even one of the two main ingredients of the Bloodline Mutation Potion, Qi Ping already possessed the Blood Ginseng!
Once again, like searching high and low, only to find it effortlessly!
"Great!" Qi Ping roared in his heart, how could he not be excited to receive such a fitting inheritance?
The advancement of the Golden Marrow Bees seems hopeful!
...
"How do you like it?"
Sister Nan, seeing Qi Ping's excited expression, knew that this demon insect cultivation manual must be of great help to Qi Ping.
"I love it so much, Sister Nan!"
Qi Ping didn't hide his excitement. Sister Nan took the initiative to gift him such a precious inheritance; pretending would be somewhat hypocritical.
"It's just... isn't this too precious? I really want it, but I feel unworthy of it..." Qi Ping said with a bit of shame.
The value of this manual was simply immeasurable, not to mention anything else, just the three mutagenic potions alone would each be extremely valuable!
The entire inheritance's value was beyond estimation.
"You just saved my life, didn't you? Does my life not even worth a demon insect cultivation manual in your eyes?"
To make Qi Ping feel at ease with accepting her gift, Sister Nan even rolled her eyes at Qi Ping.
"Sister Nan... that's not what I meant, I really feel unworthy. If it weren't for your significant role in our victory against those two black-robed men, I might not have been able to kill them either, especially considering that Jade Cicada..."
"So it's not accurate to say that I saved your life alone, but I really want this manual; why don't I give you some Golden Marrow Honey? It's the most valuable thing I currently have."
"The efficacy of this batch of Golden Marrow Honey is great; I see you are about to break through to the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining; I estimate that your probability of breaking through after refining it will be high, and when I have spirit stones in the future, I'll compensate you..."
Upon hearing this, Sister Nan was somewhat surprised.
She truly did not misjudge him!
The reason she hesitated about handing over the demon insect cultivation manual to Qi Ping was not that she couldn't bear to part with it.
This manual was useless to her; without the crucial contract and emotion cultivation knowledge, it was nothing but clutter.
If she tried to sell it... she estimated she might not survive beyond twelve hours.
Such an inheritance was too precious; once exposed, it would be a life-threatening disaster! That was why she hesitated.
Fortunately, Qi Ping's current behavior confirmed that she did not misjudge him.
It was precisely because of Qi Ping's character that she ultimately decided to hand the manual over to him.
When Qi Ping's Golden Marrow Bees are cultivated, it's also beneficial for her.
Little did she expect a return so soon.
Breaking through to the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining... how could these words not be tempting?
She wanted to break through for a long time, but could never afford the right spiritual medicine and elixirs.
"Little Qi, this Golden Marrow Honey you mentioned, I'll shamelessly accept it. I indeed lack spiritual medicine for breakthroughs right now, but there's no need for future spirit stones. Just in the future, when you become very strong, if Sister Nan has a favor to ask, don't turn me away..."
"How could that be? If Sister Nan has any requests in the future, as long as it's within my capacity, I would never refuse!"
...
After speaking, Qi Ping and Sister Nan exchanged a smile, knowing that after this experience, their friendship would become closer.
Qi Ping estimated that after Sister Nan acquired the Golden Marrow Honey, she would soon breakthrough to the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining. By then, with her combat experience and poisoning skills, she would be a formidable force.
Having such an ally ensured a bit more security for him as well.
More friends, more paths; today's events effectively proved this.
Especially with someone like Sister Nan, whose strength and experience are not lacking, and the talent for predicting danger, such an ability might be highly useful in some situations.
After dealing with the matter of the demon insect cultivation manual, Qi Ping put it away, and the two began to tally up the spoils of their recent harvest.
The spoils were all taken out by the two of them.
Once the spoils were out, their gaze immediately fell on the black jade cicada.
Spoil One: Jade Cicada!
With this item, their safety upon returning to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range would surely be significantly enhanced!
