After the Golden Marrow Honey entered his stomach, in just a few breaths, Qi Ping's Dantian meridians were filled with rich Spiritual Qi.
Meanwhile, his body also rapidly strengthened under the baptism and nourishment of abundant blood energy.
"How incredible!"
Feeling the astonishing effects of the Golden Marrow Honey, Qi Ping couldn't help but exclaim.
Having been accustomed to coarse grains, this was the first time he had experienced such high-quality Spiritual Qi.
Not to mention the continuous nourishing and enhancing blood energy, compared to the Spiritual Medicine he had refined before, it was like heaven and earth!
"No wonder those sect disciples and family members can improve so quickly, the effect of such high-quality spiritual materials, you can never truly feel the real gap without experiencing it!"
Because for lower-tier Loose Cultivators, buying high-level Spiritual Medicine could cost more than half their assets!
A little more, and they would deplete their assets!
Once their assets are spent, how long it would take to accumulate Spirit Stones again is unknown.
So most people are reluctant.
Earning Spirit Stones is too hard!
For ordinary cultivators, farming, and raising spiritual chickens and ducks are considered the best channels, they simply can't make much Spirit Stone.
It's not like in many novels, where with a little effort you can hunt various prey and gain all sorts of opportunities.
Nor do great treasure Secret Realms emerge from time to time, giving ordinary cultivators a chance to soar.
The true reality is that most core cultivation resources in the Immortal Cultivation Realm are tightly controlled!
Unless ordinary people have the opportunity to learn a powerful skill, such as Alchemy, Talisman Making, or Artifact Refining, most can only farm, raise chickens and ducks, doing such things the higher-ups don't care for, earning meager Spirit Stones while facing risks of disease and beast disasters.
Getting involved in commerce is out of the question, without strength and connections, just a single high-level cultivator can make an ordinary cultivator disappear without a trace!
The rules of this world are that you enjoy whatever resources according to your strength, unless you have status background!
...
With Spirit Stones so hard to earn, one can imagine Qi Ping's delight at refining Golden Marrow Honey right now!
But after the initial joy, Qi Ping put aside all distractions and focused all his heart spirit into cultivation.
While seriously comprehending the cultivation technique and Wood Attribute Spiritual Power, he operated the Wood Shield Technique to continuously convert the Spiritual Qi from the Golden Marrow Honey into Wood Shield Spiritual Power in his Sea of Qi.
At this moment, Qi Ping's Dantian Sea of Qi also expanded at an unprecedented speed.
Rich Spiritual Qi and blood energy continued to spread around Qi Ping, along with his constantly growing momentum.
While Qi Ping was immersed in cultivation, a special power also rose from the Ancient Fir Wood beneath him and the surrounding trees.
Under this special power, more Wood Attribute Spiritual Power, accompanied by the special power, surged into Qi Ping's body.
In terms of Spiritual Qi absorption efficiency, Qi Ping's absorption efficiency at this time was already enough to reach the standard of a Middle Grade Wood Spirit Root.
One must know that Qi Ping was just a First-Level Druid, and as his level increased in the future, this special effect would also continue to enhance.
After this special power flooded into Qi Ping's body, Qi Ping's speed of refining Blood Ginseng Spiritual Qi also abruptly increased a lot.
The cultivating Qi Ping was also amazed by this special power!
Under this special power, Qi Ping's speed of refining Blood Ginseng increased several times over, and the conversion efficiency improved a lot.
In addition, Qi Ping found that his comprehension of the cultivation technique Wood Shield Technique also became much easier; the previously obscure and difficult parts could now be comprehended without much effort.
"Is this the special effect brought by Jungle Druid?"
"It seems I didn't choose wrong by going into seclusion in the forests of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range!"
As such, in the forest, the restriction of the Lower Grade Spirit Root talent on him could be reduced a lot.
After the surprise, Qi Ping hurriedly gathered his heart spirit and devoted himself to cultivation, seizing this hard-won opportunity.
About two more moments later, the Spiritual Qi from that first mouthful of Golden Marrow Honey was entirely refined by Qi Ping.
The Aura on Qi Ping grew another notch, roughly equivalent to the effect of half a year of cultivation for Qi Ping in the past.
"Wealth, companion, method, and place, wealth indeed ranks first! In just a moment, it equals half a year of my cultivation..."
After sighing, Qi Ping took another big gulp of Golden Marrow Honey and then continued to cultivate wholeheartedly.
Qi Ping planned to take advantage of the good cultivation state to see if he could break through to the Second-Layer of Qi Refining with the help of this bottle of Golden Marrow Honey.
With the experience of the first refinement, refining the Golden Marrow Honey again, Qi Ping was now very proficient.
Even with consuming more Golden Marrow Honey in the second intake, Qi Ping still handled it with ease.
The rich Spiritual Qi swirled in Qi Ping's body once more.
When this rich Spiritual Qi was refined by Qi Ping, his Aura grew another notch!
Following this came the third sip, the fourth sip...
During this process, Qi Ping's Aura continued to soar!
Several hours later.
When Qi Ping finished refining the second last mouthful of honey, his Aura suddenly surged!
Along with an extraordinary momentum sweeping all directions, it also meant Qi Ping's Realm officially broke through to the Second-Layer of Qi Refining!
"I broke through!"
Feeling the power multiplied several times over, Qi Ping was overjoyed beyond measure.
Almost exhausting this bottle of Golden Marrow Honey caused his cultivation to quickly break through!
Otherwise, according to Qi Ping's estimate, breaking through to the Second-Layer of Qi Refining would still need five or six years!
That is to say, this bottle of Golden Marrow Honey directly saved him five or six years!
"With poor talent, after all, it still requires Spiritual Objects for cultivation!"
However, this bottle of Golden Marrow Honey also consumed much of the Golden Marrow Bees' stock; it took them a long time to accumulate this, so its effect is not surprising.
"The understanding of the Wood Shield Technique is also close to the proficient level. With the Jungle Druid's blessing in the forest, the speed of comprehending Wood Attribute Techniques is at least several levels higher than before..."
"Selecting the Jungle Druid profession was indeed not a mistake, for someone like me cultivating Wood Attribute Techniques, it's simply perfect!"
Then an excited Qi Ping, due to his breakthrough in cultivation, immediately jumped off the Ancient Fir Wood, couldn't help but take out his Magical Artifact long saber and started practicing it.
He wanted to see what his enhanced strength was like.
In the next moment, the shadows of the saber whirled heavily in the dense forest, all exhilaration.
The Daoist Technique Qi Ping was using at this time was named Wind-Breaking Saber Technique, the moves weren't profound, it was just an ordinary-to-the-core Qi Refining Saber Technique.
But looking at the proficiency of the saber technique, it could be seen that Qi Ping had put quite a bit of effort into this saber technique.
In fact, since Qi Ping came to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, his cultivation was fairly diligent and perseverant, but due to not having high talent, he hadn't achieved much in cultivation.
This is also the norm and the epitome for lower-tier Loose Cultivators.
If it wasn't for Qi Ping merging with the Druid profession, and by great chance contracting the Golden Marrow Bee, how could he have broken through to the Second-Layer of Qi Refining so quickly?
After finishing a series of saber techniques, overall, Qi Ping was very satisfied with the results of this cultivation!
Not only did his cultivation break through a layer, but his strength and Spiritual Power intensity increased greatly, and his understanding of the Wood Shield Technique improved, greatly enhancing his survivability.
...
"The effect of the Golden Marrow Bee is indeed somewhat astonishing... Is this the effect brewed primarily with Blood Ginseng?"
"Then if brewed with other Spiritual Medicines, like those that enhance the body, heal injuries, or break through realms as the main ingredient, what kind of effect would that have?"
After experiencing the effects of Golden Marrow Honey, this thought suddenly popped into Qi Ping's mind.
