Chapter 239: Farm Bee! Water and Fire Compatible!

After being away from the chaos of the outside world, Qi Ping slowly returned to his peaceful farming life.

Although the days are peaceful, they are fulfilling as I can pursue immortality.

Especially after experiencing a lot of chaos and witnessing the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation, Qi Ping realized how rare and precious this seemingly peaceful life is.

A natural sanctuary with increasingly powerful spiritual veins and increasingly rich spiritual energy, pharmacist bees that can brew all kinds of honey, plants that can be grown to cultivate spiritual medicines, a variety of magical knowledge available for research, and a safe and stable environment for cultivation. Almost every one of these is desired by countless cultivators in the outside world.

Even any one of them is worth a monk risking his life to fight for, and many monks dare not even dream of having places with these conditions.

Knowing this well, Qi Ping naturally cherishes the current environment very much.

What's more, he built this place bit by bit!
From the most rudimentary first-order low-level illusion array and carrying soil from all over the Misty Mountains; to planting Star Spirit Wood (Spirit Gathering Tree) and upgrading the array; to taking risks to carry out black market missions to purchase spirit veins, and working hard to cultivate contracted spirit trees to generate spirit tree essence and continuously cultivate spirit veins, we finally have this prosperous territory today!

The area is wide, the spiritual energy is rich! And there is a powerful formation guarding it!
All of these were built bit by bit by Qi Ping and his animal friends!

But Qi Ping now also encountered a problem:
"I'm gradually losing my ability to use the skill [Plant Growth]."

It's not that Qi Ping didn't work hard enough.

Because Qi Ping has put the most effort into this skill, it has almost become Qi Ping's daily routine. Unless at a critical moment of breakthrough or comprehending something, Qi Ping will perform plant growth as much as possible as his mind and mental strength allow.

But the further you go, the harder it becomes to understand plant growth.

Moreover, Qi Ping gradually realized one thing. With the improvement of his cultivation and the increase of his animal companions, coupled with the need to cultivate the contracted spiritual trees, it was difficult for Qi Ping to handle everything simply by relying on his plant growth skills.

Therefore, Qi Ping must make a choice regarding the range of this skill.

This skill is still powerful and can help Qi Ping cultivate the target quickly, and even help the spiritual plants break through their original limits. However, Qi Ping can only use this skill on the most important and irreplaceable things now.

"In the future, in addition to first-level spiritual medicines, some second-level spiritual medicines will be planted on a large scale."

"As for plant growth, my main focus will be on improving my cultivation, the breakthrough of key animal companions, and the cultivation of special contracted spirit trees. Other than that, I have to rely on large-scale planting!"

The cultivation of contracted spirit wood is necessary, because the continuous improvement of the spirit vein depends on the nurturing of the essence of these special spirit trees.

"As long as the spiritual veins can be improved to keep up, other spiritual medicines can be planted on a large scale. The pressure on plant growth will not be that great, and animal companions can usually use these naturally grown spiritual medicines."

After thinking for some time, Qi Ping came up with a plan, and then called his chief steward of internal and external affairs over.

"Buzz buzz. (Boss, is there something you want me to do?)"

A domineering golden queen bee, as big as two fists and covered in gold, gently landed on Qi Ping's shoulder.

"Well, I am going to make a big change to the layout of the spiritual fields, because many places have been promoted to second-level spiritual lands, so I want to carry out large-scale second-level spiritual medicine cultivation, and those first-level spiritual medicines will be transferred to other places."

"But most spiritual medicines are difficult to cultivate. Without my cultivation talent to support them, you can only rely on you to cultivate them carefully according to the habits of each spiritual medicine."

Qi Ping briefly explained his thoughts.

After thinking for a while, the Golden Marrow Queen Bee came up with an idea.

"Buzz. (Then I will immediately arrange for other bees to transplant the first-level spiritual medicine to the second-level spiritual land!)" "Buzz. (Don't worry about taking care of the spiritual medicine, boss. I will divide the spiritual land into small areas, and then each place will be specially arranged to plant a certain type of spiritual medicine, and then it will be taken care of by special balanced bees)"

"Buzz. (It means that we don't have enough second-level spiritual medicines and seeds to plant so many second-level spiritual lands)"

"I'll take care of that! I'll bring the spirit seeds back later!"

Not long after, Qi Ping re-condensed and arranged his tree man clones to retrieve the batch of spiritual medicines that had been hidden before from the outside world.

Before bringing them back, Qi Ping asked Xiao Xianhu to do a simple deduction as to whether there would be any danger in this batch of spiritual medicines. Only after confirming that there was no problem did Qi Ping bring the spiritual medicines back.

In addition, Qi Ping also brought back a batch of seeds purchased from the black market.

After handing these things over to the Golden Marrow Queen Bee, it immediately began to arrange the planting.

Thanks to the hard work of the bees, the appearance of the nature sanctuary suddenly became brand new, somewhat like the fields cultivated by farmers on a large scale.

Moreover, Qi Ping looked at these busy bees and felt that it was great to have bees as animal companions. Otherwise, he didn't know how much energy he would have to spend on growing elixirs!

After all, some spiritual medicines are very difficult to grow when they leave the special environment.

After taking a satisfied look at the territory where large-scale cultivation had begun, Qi Ping put all his attention into cultivating the spiritual medicines needed for his own practice and researching formations and spells.

Time flies, and seven years have passed in a flash.

"It's been seven years! Time flies!"

Qi Ping was immersed in practice and research, immersed in the pleasure of step-by-step enhancement and deciphering the rules, and did not feel the passage of time at all.

This is the benefit of having good talent. Whether it is practicing or researching spells and formations, you can quickly get positive feedback.

During this period of time, Qi Ping also gained a lot. Not only did his cultivation level steadily improve, gradually approaching the late stage of foundation building, but he also successfully comprehended the true meaning of water!

He also developed a second-tier advanced formation [Water Element Soul Binding Formation], which was a formation that specialized in suppression and restraint, and was no less effective than the [Six Ding Flame Snake Formation]. Most importantly, Qi Ping also used some water and fire related skills and spells to realize the compatibility of water and fire.

After the two formations formed a combined formation, their power not only did not decrease, but instead achieved the effect of one plus one being greater than several!

"Compatibility of water and fire" is one of the essences of magic researched by Qi Ping.

Qi Ping also developed a second-level advanced enhanced version of the gold-attribute formation [Xuanjin Killing Formation]. Combining it with the two second-level advanced water and fire formations, it formed a three-in-one combined formation, which was much more powerful than the previous one.

"It's a pity that the true meaning of wood and earth has not been understood."

"But the most difficult thing is not to comprehend these two laws, but to comprehend the compatibility of the five elements. It is many times more difficult than compatibility of water and fire."

Even with Qi Ping's current understanding, he does not have enough confidence to comprehend the compatibility of the five elements, so he can only consider it after the five elements are gathered.

However, Qi Ping is currently considering switching to practicing the Water and Fire Technique. He has the two talents of [Golden Flame Body] and [Lord Shuize], and has realized the compatibility of water and fire. After switching to practicing the Water and Fire Technique, his strength will be much stronger and his foundation will be even more powerful.

At the same time, you can also use the compatibility of water and fire as a basis to adapt and prepare for the subsequent transition to the Five Elements.
