Faced with Crow's desire to refine and comprehend the Beast King Flame, Qi Ping naturally had no objections.
"Go!"
Qi Ping condensed a Beast King Flame, controlling it to steadily hover in front of Crow.
"Caw caw... (Thank you, Boss!)"
After Crow finished speaking, he used the Yang Fire Flame to envelop the Beast King Flame, then flew under the sun, absorbing Great Sun Power while comprehending the Beast King Flame.
Qi Ping looked at Crow's departing back, his eyes filled with relief; it was truly good to have a disciplined Animal Companion!
He diligently Awakened his bloodline , then brought Qi Ping along to also take off, and in battle, he would charge to the front without a second thought.
The Honeybees would also go around looking for food on their own, allowing Qi Ping to earn a bit more!
"First, prepare this batch of hundred spirit grass according to the essence nurturing honey Pill Formula and hand it over to the Brewer Big Belly Bee!"
"The first batch of essence nurturing honey isn't much; it's estimated to be worth around five to six hundred Spirit Stones, but the actual selling price will depend on what the market offers."
"The real money-making will start with the second and third batches, especially when the hundred spirit grass in the Twenty-Eighth Spiritual Land begins to mature."
Qi Ping estimated that in two months, the Spirit Stones he earned from essence nurturing honey should reach around two to three thousand.
After categorizing the Materials and handing them over to the Brewer Big Belly Bee, Qi Ping continued to research the Beast King Flame, exploring how to use it to accelerate his comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire.
Cultivate has no concept of time; Qi Ping, immersed in researching the True Meaning of Fire, only realized a week had passed when the Honeybees reminded him.
"Buzz buzz... (Boss! The essence nurturing honey is brewed!)" A Honeybee said in Qi Ping's ear.
"Brewed?"
"Buzz buzz... (Yes, Boss! It's all brewed!)"
Qi Ping was slightly stunned upon hearing this; he hadn't expected a week to pass so quickly and the essence nurturing honey to be brewed.
It seemed the intensity of the Beast King Flame had indeed increased significantly.
Then Qi Ping went to check and found that all the essence nurturing honey had indeed been brewed.
Moreover, the Honeybees had already neatly placed all the essence nurturing honey into jade bottles, saving Qi Ping the trouble of collecting them.
"Well done!"
After praising the Honeybees, Qi Ping put all the brewed essence nurturing honey into his Storage Pouch, then prepared to head to Qing Shi Market.
Since he had already made preparations for departure, it wasn't long before Qi Ping transformed into a Honeybee, carrying his Storage Pouch and Spirit Beast Pouch, and quietly left the Twenty-Ninth Mountain Peak in Area B.
This time, Qi Ping planned to use the Facial Disguise and Bone Shrinking Technique to transform into a new identity to enter Qing Shi Market, so as to avoid his identity as Qi Ping being targeted.
Qi Ping had several goals for this trip to Qing Shi Market.
Sell essence nurturing honey and determine market conditions.
Purchase First-Order High-level Fire-attribute Spirit Medicine seeds, Spirit Medicine medicinal properties knowledge, and First-Order High-level Fire-attribute Medicinal Pill Pill Formulae.
Purchase a First-Order High-level Fire-attribute Defensive Spell.
Ask Boss Gao to help inquire about Divine Soul-type Spirit Beasts, preferably to visit Meng Yan once to ask him to help inquire about Divine Soul-type Spirit Beasts, and at the same time, indirectly inquire about the recent situation in Qingtian Domain and news of the Qingyuan Sect.
As for the Green-robed Woman, Lin Qingshu, although Qi Ping was somewhat curious about her identity as the Cloud Mist Mountain Range manager, he dared not ask rashly without knowing the relationship between Meng Yan and Lin Qingshu.
Currently, Qi Ping felt there was room for cooperation with the Green-robed Woman Lin Qingshu; if he could gain the trust and support of this Cloud Mist Mountain Range manager, his beekeeping and money-making endeavors within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range would be particularly convenient.
After leaving the Twenty-Ninth Spiritual Land, Qi Ping did not head straight for Qing Shi Market as usual, but instead, as a High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee, carefully wandered around the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
He wanted to see what state the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and Qing Shi County were in now.
Previously, due to insufficient strength, Qi Ping had the intention to explore but dared not trespass randomly.
But now, Qi Ping had relatively good strength, especially with the Natural Perception Talent that could sense danger in advance, Qi Ping had more confidence in his own safety.
However, after spending a lot of time wandering around the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Qi Ping couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"The Cloud Mist Mountain Range is actually empty by six or seven-tenths..."
Compared to its peak period when it was difficult to find even one Spiritual Land in the four areas of A, B, C, and D, the current scene was truly lamentable.
Especially Area D; these tenants, as the lowest stratum of Loose Cultivators, had the weakest ability to resist risks and external enemies.
"It's getting colder and colder..."
And this did not seem to be the end, as Qi Ping saw people still packing up and leaving.
Or some died at the hands of Demon Insects or unknown human murderers, their bodies, warm or cold, lying in some corner of the mountain, undiscovered.
When these Spirit Farmers died, on their Spiritual Lands, the Spiritual Plants they depended on for life were still growing vigorously, forming a stark contrast with the lifeless bodies of their masters.
Some were ruined or taken away by others, and the scene was as desolate as their masters.
"Alas."
"Is this the fate of Loose Cultivators in troubled times?"
Having once been an insignificant member among them, Qi Ping did not lack the ability to empathize, so his mood was also somewhat bleak at this moment.
Especially when he recalled the scene of many people laughing and talking during past harvests, it formed an even sharper contrast with the current scene.
Qi Ping estimated that many of these seventy percent of disappeared Loose Cultivators had left here, and they were undoubtedly wise.
But perhaps more of them died in this chaos.
Facing such a scene, even with Qi Ping's current Cultivation, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
But this involved the struggle between Nascent Soul Sects, so what could he do?
The only thing Qi Ping could do, and had done, was to quietly order his Bee Swarm to kill all the Demon Insects they encountered in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and to save an unlucky person who was still unaware of being in danger.
However, he should be called a lucky person now, because he picked up a day's worth of his small life.
But who knows how long his luck will last, maybe he won't live for a few more days...
After leaving the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Qi Ping's mood was heavy, but his Heart-Nature also gained a touch of determination.
He still had to become stronger!
He didn't want to become one of those disappeared Loose Cultivators, nor did he want his friends to become one of them.
For Nan Jie, Qi Ping had already secretly dispatched a small Bee Swarm as a hidden hand, ambushing them on Nan Jie's Fifth Mountain Peak, which was his repayment and help within his ability to Nan Jie.
Unconsciously, after this experience, Qi Ping's Heart-Nature became more resolute, and he also gained a stronger desire for Cultivating Immortals.
While Qi Ping's mind was still pondering the matters of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, a Dao Heart of seeking the Dao was slowly forming...
