You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 111 Mysterious means, opportunity is a trap?

"Have the twin witches been found?"

Seeing the message sent by Meng Yan, Qi Ping did not feel too much fluctuation in his heart. He was still confident that he could handle two ninth-level cultivators.

It was just that he had originally planned to cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Refining in one go, and he felt a little regretful after being interrupted.

However, coming back to practice again would not have much impact on him.

Be loyal to people who trust you.

Since Qi Ping has already made a promise to Meng Yan, he will naturally fight alongside him in the coming period of time and try his best to help Meng Yan win the battle and save his life within his ability.

This is the code of conduct that Qi Ping adheres to as he becomes more aware of his own Dao heart.

What is asked for is also given in return.

He has a scale in his heart and will not be the kind of person who only knows how to take without giving back, but he will not be bound by favors either.

Seeing that midnight was not far away, Qi Ping made careful preparations.

Bees, crows, talismans... Qi Ping did not dare to be careless in the slightest regarding the necessary battle preparations and battle plans.

Because even if you are confident enough, there is still the possibility of failure. There are too many examples of people being killed by enemies who are weaker than themselves because of carelessness.

Moreover, the combined fighting power of these two twin witches was so great that even Meng Yan, the elder disciple who had comprehended the true meaning of the law, almost failed. No one could be sure whether these two had even stronger hidden powers.

After making all the necessary preparations, Qi Ping transformed into a black-armored bee and approached the place where he had agreed to meet Meng Yan before midnight.

Before entering the agreed location, Qi Ping first sent the bee colony to search carefully.

From the bees' observation, Meng Yan was already waiting there in advance.

What surprised Qi Ping was that the bees were only investigating in a very covert manner, but Meng Yan still discovered some abnormalities. Fortunately, the number of the bees was small, and they retreated in time so as not to provoke Meng Yan to go and investigate.

His perception was even sharper than that of the woman in green.

After Qi Ping made sure there was no danger, he changed back into human form and assumed the face of a middle-aged man. At the same time, he used the fetal breathing technique given to him by Meng Yan to hide all the aura on his body.

A moment later, Qi Ping saw Meng Yan, who was as strong as an iron tower standing under the tree.

"Brother Qi, you are finally here!"

After seeing Qi Ping, Meng Yan said with a smile.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Brother Meng!"

“The timing is just right!”

"What's the situation with those two witches? I heard you said there are other helpers around them?"

"He is just a scumbag from the Skyfire Pavilion. His strength is not outstanding. An ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator cannot be a match for Yaya. With your joining, Brother Qi, the impact will not be great!"

"That's good! How should we fight next?" "They and the disciple of Tianhuo Pavilion are preparing to join forces to open a secret cave on Tianqing Mountain. It is a cave left by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but in fact, it was emptied by an elder of Qingyuan Sect more than ten years ago. Apart from the defensive formation, there is nothing inside. When their attack formation consumes a lot of energy, we can directly surround and kill them."

Speaking of this, Meng Yan shook his head helplessly and said:
"These talented disciples always think they are blessed by luck, and they always like to explore secret places and fight for resources on the road of cultivation; but they don't know that there are always traps and graves designed specifically for them."

Qi Ping was startled when he heard this.

Meng Yan's words are not only applicable to those talented disciples of the sect, but even many independent cultivators have this mentality.

But Qi Ping always felt that the concept of chance was the least reliable, especially when it came to secret realms, inheritance, and the like.

He could never understand one thing: under what conditions and mentality would a person or a sect leave behind opportunities and inheritance for future generations?
After Qi Ping speculated many times based on the nature of human beings, he felt that the possibility of a trap was far greater than the possibility of chance.

This is also the reason why Qi Ping has always been very opposed to the concepts of secret realms and opportunities.

There must be good things that happen for no reason in the world of immortal cultivation, but Qi Ping was unwilling to believe that such a thing would happen to him, or unwilling to bet that such a thing would happen to him.

Why should something that people have worked hard for half their lives be left to future generations in vain?

If you ask yourself, Qi Ping would never do this.

Therefore, compared with chance, Qi Ping believes more in the exchange of interests and win-win cooperation.

Recall past experiences.

It was he who saved Sister Nan's life, and made Sister Nan trust him during their past interactions, which enabled him to obtain the demon insect breeding manual by chance.

The acquisition of Li Huo Ya was also based on the long-term cooperative trust between him and Boss Gao.

There is also the Demonic Insect King under the Blood Ginseng Ground. If he had rashly dug in at the beginning, there is a high probability that his soul would be shattered by the Demonic Insect King.
In general, Qi Ping doesn't believe in love without reason.

Sister Nan, Boss Gao, and Old Man Zhou are willing to believe him based on his past behavior and character, which is also the code of conduct that Qi Ping adheres to.

Based on trust and through the exchange of interests, we can achieve win-win cooperation and gain sufficient benefits for both parties.
Qi Ping even felt that if he didn't have Boss Gao's approval, he would never have the chance to get in touch with Meng Yan.

It’s a pity that most people have survivor bias in their hearts, always thinking that maybe they are special, maybe they are the lucky ones.
Meng Yan’s words today also gave Qi Ping a warning: opportunities cannot be trusted!
The cave that the witch pair felt lucky to have discovered was obviously just a surveillance camera and trap set by the Qingyuan Sect.

This made Qi Ping even more alert to the cave containing the demon insect breeding manual obtained by Sister Nan on Peak No. 7 in Area A.

Without absolute certainty and thorough preparation, you must not start it!
Otherwise, you might step into a deadly trap!
After arriving at the foot of Tianqing Mountain, Meng Yan said he would wait here first.

During this time, Meng Yan would occasionally look at a strange black stone in his hand.

However, Qi Ping could not see any abnormalities or changes at all, and it seemed that only Meng Yan himself could see it.

Although Qi Ping was a little curious, since Meng Yan did not take the initiative to introduce it, he did not ask. Instead, he controlled his gaze so that it did not fall on that thing. At the same time, he secretly warned himself to be more careful. There were too many unknown means in the world of cultivating immortals, and it was easy to fall into other people's traps if you were not careful.

Qi Ping's subtle action made Meng Yan feel a little fond of him.

It is indeed more comfortable and trustworthy to cooperate with an ally who knows his limits. Otherwise, who knows what a stupid ally who doesn't know his limits will do at a critical moment?
After the two of them waited for a while at the foot of Tianqing Mountain, Meng Yan smiled:
"Brother Qi, the time has come, we can start now!"
