Chapter 352 The Wonderful Uses of the Earth Immortal Druid
"Little Stone Spirit, for now, you should stay here and refine this Immortal Abode. Put the exploration aside for now and focus on raising your cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible!"

"Little Celestial Tiger, you should also focus on your cultivation in the territory during this time!"

"Awoo. (Yes, boss!)"

"Ding ding. (Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible!)"

"it is good!"

Qi Ping believed that with Little Stone's special talent for fighting stone spirits, and with the assistance of a spiritual artifact of this level, it could probably break through to the Nascent Soul realm before everyone else! It might even make rapid progress beyond the Nascent Soul realm!
Now, the little stone spirit can be resurrected with the help of the Beast Guardian's talent, and can also go out to fight as a combatant.

After Qi Ping sent Ya Ya and her five animal companions to the Forest Sea Demon Realm, the resource output of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range has become much greater. At least for now, without the need to mass produce troops, the resources for Little Immortal Tiger's cultivation are also abundant, which is perfect for him to improve his cultivation level along with Little Stone Spirit.

Ever since Qi Ping's reputation began to spread throughout the entire Star Sea Continent, every now and then some reckless fool would try to speculate about Qi Ping's information.

However, Qi Ping is currently a Druid of the Earth Immortal realm, so how could these people possibly speculate about him?
Especially with the help of the Little Fairy Tiger in the counterattack, those who dared to predict Qi Ping's fate were either dead or severely injured.
Gradually, Qi Ping gained a reputation as a forbidden zone of celestial secrets in the Star Sea Continent. Anyone who cultivated the Path of Celestial Secrets now trembled at the mere mention of the name Bee Daoist.

In the vast Star Sea Continent, apart from those who are isolated from information, there is practically no one who dares to deduce Qi Ping's existence.

After handing over the immortal abode at the peak of the Void Refinement stage to the little stone spirit, Qi Ping left the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and arrived at the Azure Origin Mountain Range.

At this moment, the Qingyuan Mountain Range has completely transformed into a fourth-order spiritual vein, with incredibly rich spiritual energy permeating the mountain range.

Especially in the very center of the spiritual vein, under the absorption of a fourth-order spirit-gathering array, the spiritual energy had already reached a liquid state, and Qi Ping's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds in this environment.

Now he possesses two spiritual veins, and he can cultivate wherever the spiritual energy is most abundant.

In less than a hundred years, Qi Ping's cultivation level has broken through from the early stage of Golden Core to the late stage. With abundant resources, top-notch cultivation techniques, top-notch comprehension, a stable Dao heart, and the assistance of the Druid profession, even if Qi Ping cultivates steadily, his overall cultivation progress will not slow down.

It is worth mentioning that the mountain spirit that entered Qiping a few years ago has also awakened.

Qi Ping temporarily transferred this creature to the Azure Sky Domain, hoping it would help make the overall development of the Azure Sky Domain smoother.

The spirit of the mountains and rivers was very happy about this, as it was its favorite thing!

In its own words: I love watching my people multiply and grow stronger!

The only thing that saddened it was that the home that had nurtured it had completely fallen into ruin.
Qi Ping didn't say much about this, only that when we become stronger, that place might be incorporated into the Azure Sky Domain, and then that world could be reborn.

Upon hearing Qi Ping's words, the spirit of the mountains and rivers instantly lost its worries, replaced by boundless enthusiasm!
(I, the spirit of the mountains and rivers, will definitely return!)

"Now that all the important matters have been taken care of, we can focus on training the Treant Warriors."

Qi Ping had high expectations for the Tree Warriors.

Qi Ping still had a very deep impression of the terrifying tree-man army of the Tree Shepherds. The fact that they could cultivate ordinary ancient trees into powerful tree-man warriors was enough to demonstrate the strength of the tree-man warriors.

But this is the world of cultivation!

"If we could plant the most powerful spiritual trees in the cultivation world in the Azure Sky Domain, such as the Fusang Tree, the Bodhi Tree, and the Tongtian Jianmu Tree, it would be wonderful!"

Qi Ping found it hard to imagine how powerful these spirit trees would become after being cultivated into tree warriors.

Qi Ping could only dream about it. These spiritual trees were extremely rare in the world. Not to mention him, even a powerful cultivator in the Mahayana stage might not be able to see them.

In today's cultivation world, top-tier powerful trees have basically become extinct. If they were to appear, they would definitely cause a frenzy of competition throughout the cultivation world, and even demons and monsters might get involved.

"Therefore, it is basically impossible to rely entirely on obtaining powerful spirit tree seeds from the outside world. If you want to cultivate a truly legendary tree, you can only cultivate it yourself!"

After considering these factors, Qi Ping immediately had a training plan in mind.

However, if he wants to implement it, Qi Ping still needs to comprehend and modify the two core innate abilities of the Tree Shepherd: [Tree Spirit Contract] and [Tree Warrior].

After making his decision, Qi Ping quickly went into seclusion!
This process of enlightenment took a full three years!

When Qi Ping opened his eyes again, it was three years later!
"Time knows no bounds in spiritual practice!"

Three years seem to have passed in the blink of an eye.

This is the life of cultivating immortality!
However, Qi Ping did not devote all his energy to comprehending the teachings during these three years. Instead, he would set aside some of his mind to cultivate the techniques. Therefore, Qi Ping's cultivation level did not decline during these three years.

In fact, when Qi Ping does most things, whether it's cultivating spiritual herbs or comprehending something, unless it's particularly urgent, he will also take care of cultivating his cultivation techniques!

This is precisely why Qi Ping's cultivation level improved so quickly, which is inseparable from his efforts.

This would be very difficult for anyone else, including Qi Ping in other places. But it's different for a Druid of the Earth in the Azure Sky Domain, where the consumption of his soul and spiritual power is almost endless.
After this training session, a smile finally appeared on Qi Ping's face.

He has finally comprehended and modified the Tree Spirit Contract and the Treant Warrior!

The reason why Qi Ping was able to complete such a difficult transformation of special abilities was naturally inseparable from the assistance of the Earth Immortal Druid!

It can be said that the Earth Immortal Druid class is not only an almost invincible force in combat within its territory, but also the greatest aid for Qi Ping's cultivation and enlightenment!
In this research on the abilities of Tree Spirit Contract and Treant Warrior, Qi Ping finally extracted the ability he wanted!
In the original setting, only trees that were contracted could become candidates for training as tree warriors.

Although Qi Ping's soul is now powerful enough and he can contract with many trees, there is still a limit to how much he can bear.

And what Qi Ping wants to break is this limit!

Firstly, one of the problems Qi Ping is currently facing is that there are not many spiritual trees or spiritual tree seeds in the cultivation world that he can be satisfied with. Basically, the price for obtaining a seed at the Nascent Soul level is extremely high!
Although Qi Ping's tax revenue has reached a massive amount due to the development of the Azure Sky Domain, it is still impossible for him to purchase a large number of Nascent Soul level spirit wood seeds, let alone Void Refinement level ones!

Moreover, there is another crucial issue. Once Qi Ping breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, or the bee swarm breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, or even reaches the Void Refinement stage, these Nascent Soul level spirit trees and tree warriors, which were cultivated at great cost, will enter a state where they are not very useful.

If that's the case, he might as well focus on breeding bee colonies!
But if that's the case, what other use does the Tree Shepherd's ability have besides producing resources?

Most importantly, Qi Ping felt that the Tree Shepherd shouldn't be played like this!

Because in this cultivation world that has all kinds of immortal-grade spiritual trees, the potential of a tree shepherd is already very high, so playing like this is a pure waste of talent!

So now, Qi Ping wants a solution:
"Since there aren't many powerful spirit trees in the cultivation world, I'll cultivate them myself. I'll select the most promising trees from among thousands of spirit trees and find a few or a dozen spirit trees with the potential to transform into immortal-level spirit trees from among millions or tens of millions of spirit trees!"

However, this selection process has become a crucial issue: how do we find them? After all, we can't really cultivate millions of spirit trees, can we?
Even if you squeeze him dry, you still can't do it!

Qi Ping initially only had some ideas about this issue, which is why he chose to study the essence of the [Tree Spirit Contract] and the [Tree Warrior].

After three years of research, Qi Ping finally found a screening method!

The reason why the prerequisite for cultivating a Treant Warrior is that it must be a contract partner of a [Tree Spirit Contract] is because cultivating a Treant Warrior requires sufficient [spirituality]!
In reality, most trees do not possess sufficient spirituality. The Tree Spirit Contract is based on the tree shepherd sharing their own spirituality with the contracted tree.

With this shared spirituality as a guarantee, it can be ensured that these trees possess enough spirituality to become tree warriors!

Therefore, the true prerequisite for cultivating tree warriors is [spirituality]!
In other words, as long as the trees possess sufficient spirituality, they can all be cultivated into tree warriors!
"In this regard, we need to screen through a large number of plantings to find those trees with spiritual potential!"

Such a spiritually potential-possessing spirit tree, Qi Ping, is probably one in a thousand.

In many places in his Azure Sky Domain, the probability of finding a spiritual tree with spiritual potential is currently only a few hundredths to a little over one in a thousand.

However, to determine whether a tree possesses spiritual qualities, it must mature to a certain extent. When it is a seed, it has not undergone gestation, so no one knows whether it will possess spiritual qualities.

"Therefore, if I want to find more spirit trees with spiritual qualities, I must cultivate a large number of spirit trees! Whether using purchased seeds or seeds grown from my own spirit trees."

"However, if we were to cultivate a large number of spirit trees, the spiritual veins and area of ​​the Azure Sky Domain simply could not support such a large quantity."

Although Qi Ping also desperately wanted to cultivate more spirit trees, ideally filling the entire Azure Sky Domain with them, this was clearly impossible. Every region has a limit to its capacity, and exceeding that limit would bring unpredictable consequences.

It could even lead to the collapse of the entire ecosystem.

"So let's sell those mature spirit trees that don't possess any spiritual energy as products, and then plant more new spirit trees!"

After a brief moment of thought, Qi Ping came up with a solution.

However, this is actually very difficult to implement. Where to plant them? Who will plant them? How to sell them in batches? Which spirit trees to plant? Will it affect the normal development of other industries in the Azure Sky Domain?
It has to be said, there are just too many problems!
Therefore, faced with this complex problem, Qi Ping directly activated the Great Summoning Spell:

"Lin Yue, come quickly!"

Following Qi Ping's command, the shrewd and resourceful Vice Dean of Qingyuan Academy quickly appeared before him.

"Dean, what brings you here?"

Lin Yue's complexion was rosy and his cultivation was progressing smoothly. Perhaps he would soon find an opportunity to break through.

Although the complex administrative management took up a lot of his time, it did not delay his cultivation progress. On the contrary, the process of personally managing the extremely complex and complicated affairs of the Azure Sky Domain in an orderly manner was the best way for him to comprehend the Dao and cultivate.

So when Qi Ping called him over, he didn't feel pressured at all; instead, he looked on with great anticipation!

Looking at this radiant-faced fellow, Qi Ping knew that the once unpredictable Silver-Faced Golden Core cultivator was about to transform into a Silver-Faced Nascent Soul cultivator.

"You've done very well these past few days! I've prepared some resources for you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and I've also arranged a place for you to cultivate in seclusion along a fourth-tier spiritual vein and a spirit-gathering array. You can focus on your cultivation!"

"Thank you very much, Dean!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's face lit up with immense joy. As a cultivator, who wouldn't want to take another step forward?

"You deserve it! I have one more thing for you to do!"

"My plan is to plant a large number of spirit trees in the Azure Sky Domain, of any grade. However, after these spirit trees mature, I will only select a few percent of them, and the rest will need to be sold and replanted!"

"So I want you to arrange this matter. If we can turn it into an industry, without affecting other industries and the normal development of the Azure Sky Domain, then the more spirit wood we have, the better!"

"By the way, planting spirit trees can get you a subsidy in spirit stones!" Qi Ping added at the end.

"No problem, leave it to me! I will definitely do my best to complete this task!" Lin Yue assured him with great enthusiasm.

He knew that if he did well, Dean Bee would be very generous with the reward!
"Well, let's go!"

"Yes, Dean, then I shall take my leave!"

As Lin Yue's figure gradually disappeared, Qi Ping knew that the matter was settled!

"After filtering out these spirit trees with spiritual potential, the next step is to use the 'Spirit Awakening Technique' to awaken their spirits."

This Spirit Awakening Technique was created by Qi Ping by combining cultivation techniques from the immortal cultivation world with the [Tree Spirit Contract]. It has been tested and there are no problems with it.
"After awakening the spirit, the focus is on nurturing it. How do we find those spirit trees with the potential to become immortal among those with spiritual potential, and provide them with the best nurturing?"

Regarding this question, Qi Ping focused his attention on the [Tree Warrior] ability.

To accomplish this, he must fully master the abilities of the Treant Warrior, and then transcend them!
