You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 102 The desolate heart of the fallen corpse!

Faced with Yaya's idea of refining and comprehending the Flame of the Beast King, Qi Ping had no objection.

"Go!"

Qi Ping condensed a flame of the Beast King and controlled it to stay steadily in front of Ya Ya.

"Haha. (Thank you, boss!)"

After Ya Ya finished speaking, she used the flame of Yang Fire to wrap the Flame of the Beast King, and then flew under the sunlight again, absorbing the power of the sun while comprehending the Flame of the Beast King.

Qi Ping looked at Yaya's back as it left, his eyes full of relief. It's good to have a self-disciplined animal companion!
He worked hard to awaken his bloodline, then took off with him simultaneously, and rushed to the front in battle without saying a word.

The bees will also look for food on their own, allowing Qi Ping to earn a little more!
"First, prepare this batch of larkspur according to the recipe of soul honey and hand it over to brewer Big Belly Bee!"

"There isn't much Spiritual Honey in the first batch. I estimate it's worth around 500 to 600 Spiritual Stones. But the exact price it can be sold for depends on the market price."

"The second and third batches, especially when the 28th spiritual land larkspur begins to mature, will be the time for me to really start making money."

Qi Ping estimated that in two months, the amount of spirit stones he earned from the Soul-Nourishing Honey should reach about two to three thousand.

After sorting the materials and handing them over to the brewer Big Belly Bee Queen, Qi Ping continued to study the Flame of the Beast King, exploring how to use the Flame of the Beast King to speed up his understanding of the true meaning of fire.

Qi Ping, who was practicing without regard for time and immersed in studying the true meaning of fire, was only reminded by the bees that a week had passed.

"Buzz buzz. (Boss! The Yunling honey is ready!)" a bee said in Qi Ping's ear.

"Is it ready?"

"Buzz. (Yes, Boss! They are all brewed!)"

Qi Ping was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that a week had passed so quickly and the Yunling Honey was brewed.

It seems that the intensity of the Beast King's flame has indeed increased a lot.

Then Qi Ping went to check and found that the Yunling honey had indeed been brewed.

Moreover, the bees had already placed all the spiritual honey neatly in a jade bottle, saving Qi Ping the effort of collecting them.

“Well done!”

After praising the bees, Qi Ping put all the brewed spiritual honey into the storage bag, and then prepared to go to Qingshifang City.

Because he had already prepared to set off, Qi Ping transformed into a bee in a short while and quietly left Peak No. 29 in Area B with a storage bag and a spirit beast bag.

This time, Qi Ping planned to use the "Disguise and Bone Shrinking Technique" to transform into a new identity and enter Qingshifang City, so as to prevent his identity Qi Ping from being targeted.

Qi Ping had several purposes for going to Qingshifang City this time.

Sell soul honey and determine market conditions.

Purchase seeds of first-level advanced fire-attribute elixirs, knowledge about elixir properties, and recipes for first-level advanced fire-attribute elixirs.

Purchase a first-level advanced fire-attribute defensive spell.

Ask Boss Gao to help find out the news about the spirit beasts. It would be best if he could visit Meng Yan once and ask him to help find out the news about the spirit beasts. At the same time, he can also find out about the latest situation in Qingtian Domain and the news of Qingyuan Sect.

As for the green-clothed woman Lin Qingshu, although Qi Ping was somewhat curious about her identity as the manager of the Cloud Mist Mountains, he did not dare to ask rashly without knowing the relationship between Meng Yan and Lin Qingshu. At present, Qi Ping felt that there was room for cooperation with the green-clothed woman Lin Qingshu. If he could gain the trust and support of this Cloud Mist Mountains manager, it would be particularly convenient for him to start his beekeeping and money-making business in the Cloud Mist Mountains.

After leaving Spiritual Land No. 29, Qi Ping did not head straight to Qingshifang City as usual, but instead carefully wandered around the Yunwu Mountains as a high-speed ring-cutting bee.

He wanted to see what the current state of the Yunwu Mountains and Qingshi County was like.

In the past, due to his lack of strength, Qi Ping wanted to explore but did not dare to rush in.

But now Qi Ping has a relatively good strength, especially with the talent of [Natural Perception] that can sense danger in advance, Qi Ping has more confidence in his own safety.
After spending a lot of time wandering around the Yunwu Mountains, Qi Ping couldn't help but sigh.

"The Cloudy Mountains are already 60 to 70 percent empty."

Compared with the heyday when it was difficult to find a piece of prime land in Districts A, B, C and D, the current scene is really sad.

Especially in District D, these tenants are the lowest level of independent cultivators and have the weakest ability to resist risks and external enemies.

"It's getting more and more deserted..."

And this didn't seem to be the end, because Qi Ping saw some people still packing up and leaving.

Or some died at the hands of demonic insects or unknown human murderers, their bodies lying hot or cold in some corner of the mountain undiscovered.

When these spiritual farmers died, some of the spiritual plants on their spiritual lands that they depended on for survival were still growing vigorously, forming a sharp contrast with the corpses of their owners that had lost all vitality.

Some were destroyed or taken away, and the scene was as miserable as their owners.
"Ugh"

"Is this the fate of independent cultivators in troubled times?"

As a former insignificant member of the group, Qi Ping had the ability to empathize with others, so he felt a little sad at the moment.

Especially when I think of the scene of many people laughing and talking happily during the harvest in the past, it is even more vividly reflected in the scene at this moment.

Qi Ping estimated that many of the 70% of the disappeared independent cultivators had left here, which was undoubtedly a wise move.

But perhaps more people died in this chaos.

Faced with such a scene, even with Qi Ping's current cultivation level, he felt powerless.

But this involves a fight between Nascent Soul sects. What can he do?

The only thing Qi Ping could do, and did, was to have his bee colonies quietly kill all the demon insects they encountered in the Yunwu Mountains, and save a poor guy who didn't know he was in danger.
But now I should call myself a lucky guy, because I have saved another day.

But no one knows how long his luck will last, maybe he won't live for more than a few days...

After leaving the Yunwu Mountains, Qi Ping felt a little heavy, but there was an extra sense of determination in his heart.

He will become even stronger!
He didn't want to become one of those wandering cultivators who disappeared, nor did he want his friends to become one of them.

For example, for Sister Nan, Qi Ping had already secretly sent a small group of bee colonies to ambush Sister Nan on Peak No. 5 as a secret force. This was his way of repaying Sister Nan and helping her to the best of his ability.

Unconsciously, after this experience, Qi Ping's character became more resolute, and he also had a stronger desire to cultivate immortality.
While Qi Ping was still thinking about the Yunwu Mountains, a desire to seek the truth was slowly taking shape...
