You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 356 The Change of the Azure Sky
Under the coordination of Qi Ping and Lin Yue, the plan for trading in Divine Transformation Demon Insects and cultivating the Spirit Tree industry was quickly launched.

Information about the demonic insects was continuously sent to Qi Ping.

Information about transactions involving various demonic insects, such as the Void Mantis, Yin-Yang Moth, and Life Salamander, kept coming to Qi Ping's hands.

Qi Ping naturally traded all the Nascent Soul stage demonic insects with special attributes such as space, yin and yang, and life.

"I doubt even the Eight-Winged Ant Immortal expected that I could obtain so many rare bloodline demon insects in such a way."

Qi Ping thought that if the Eight-Winged Ant Immortal saw this scene, its eyes would probably widen in disbelief!

Even the Beast God Sect wasn't this arrogant back then!
With so many rare bloodlines, even if the probability of transformation is low, it is possible to cultivate a terrifying demonic insect with a truly powerful bloodline!
"A potential Emperor-level demonic insect!"

"However, to achieve this goal, the bees should ideally possess all the Yin-Yang and Five Elements attributes. This is the foundation that supports everything. As for space, time, and life, we'll have to wait and see!"

It's worth mentioning that the Golden Marrow Queen Bee has finally broken through to the fourth tier!
"Once the Golden Marrow Queen Bee reaches the late Nascent Soul stage, preparations can begin for the bees to transform into gods."

That day is not far off!

In addition to these rare Nascent Soul stage demon insect corpses, Qi Ping also began preparing Eight-Winged Ant Immortal demon insect corpses for Sister Nan.

Now, the Eight-Winged Ant Immortal only needs ordinary King-level bloodline demon insects, which is a very simple matter for Qi Ping. It does not require much resources or effort. This is actually the reason why the Eight-Winged Ant Immortal was willing to hand over its physical body and all its memories. The help of an Earth Immortal to its reincarnation is too great.

Qi Ping had a very good impression of the Eight-Winged Ant Immortal. He believed that if the guy grew up quickly, it would be of great help to both the Azure Sky Domain and himself.

Qi Ping is looking forward to the day this guy grows up!
The enemies of the future are yet to be seen how terrifying they may be, so having more powerful allies is always a good thing.

Moreover, many geniuses have indeed emerged in the Azure Sky Domain over the past few decades.

One by one, exceptionally talented and insightful individuals began to emerge.

However, Qi Ping acquired several rare demonic insect bloodlines at the Nascent Soul level, and the price he had to pay was bound to be considerable.

Some people want to trade fourth-order spiritual veins, which is easy to handle. The fourth-order spiritual veins in the Qingyuan Mountain Range are exceptionally large. If there are still many vacant cultivation positions, we can simply open up those positions.

The more troublesome part is that it requires spiritual herbs at the Nascent Soul stage, which will require Qi Ping to expend a lot of effort.

Therefore, he has set up the strongest spirit-gathering array in the Qingyuan Mountains, which is filled with mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones, and has forcibly piled up the spiritual energy inside to the strength of a fifth-order spirit vein.

After that, Qi Ping's main body continued to cultivate spiritual herbs and practice cultivation inside.

Fortunately, Qi Ping still has a tree-man clone that he can travel around.

Spring is here, flowers are in bloom, and all kinds of flowers are in full bloom.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye since the Spirit Wood Industry Development Plan was launched.

Driven by policy, the entire Azure Sky Domain was covered with dazzling spiritual plants and trees.

If the little tricolor deer were here, it would probably love it, being a child of the forest.

At this moment, a handsome young man dressed in white was wandering around the Azure Sky Domain like a street urchin.

This person was naturally Qi Ping.

Today, he suddenly felt a slight stirring in his mind, as if he sensed the birth of something extraordinary.

You have to understand that at his level, there aren't many things that can move him.

Based on Qi Ping's keen intuition, he felt that what he was touching was related to the Spirit Wood Industry Project.

Qi Ping then wondered: Could it be that some special spiritual wood has awakened a special spirituality?

He had been looking forward to this for a long time.

So Qi Ping immediately found the little fairy tiger and had it calculate it. It quickly came to the conclusion that a spirit wood with extraordinary potential had been born!

What is there to hesitate about?

It's time to reap the rewards!

And so, Qi Ping rode the little immortal tiger, wandering around the Azure Sky Domain like a street urchin.

In fact, Qi Ping could have directly launched a massive search, but he felt that he hadn't personally traveled to various places for a long time, and suddenly wanted to travel around the Azure Sky Domain like an ordinary cultivator.

Having thoughts in your mind is a sign that your heart is about to gain some understanding of the Tao!
At this moment, Qi Ping had returned to his original appearance, dressed in white, and swaggered across the Azure Sky Domain, followed by a handsome white tiger.

"This seems to be the first time I've appeared in the cultivation world so ostentatiously in my true form, isn't it?" Qi Ping said with a hint of self-deprecation.

I used to be so afraid of dying!

At that time, the cultivation world was full of unknowns for him. The Azure Sky Domain was also in a state of inexplicable war, and there were unknowns and dangers everywhere.

One wrong move and you could truly die and perish, becoming prey for other cultivators or others.

But now, no one in the Azure Sky Domain can pose a threat to him, so naturally there is nothing to be afraid of.

Because of the extraordinary presence of the man and the tiger, they attracted the attention of many people on the road.

But everyone's already used to it!

The Qingtian Domain is known for its excellent security, so many people in the Qingtian Domain contract with cute or gentle spirit beasts as their spirit beast partners.

While raising powerful beasts is difficult, there are still quite a few gentle and beautiful spirit beasts.

Although these spirit beasts don't have particularly strong combat power, they are really great as companions in the cultivation world!
She's really good-looking!

For example, the docile first-tier white fox is the most popular choice and the first choice for many female cultivators. Who wouldn't want to raise a cute little white fox?

They are also very spiritual and emotional!
Moreover, most people know that their path to immortality has its limits; Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment is already the pinnacle. At this point, they naturally no longer pursue arduous cultivation, as not everyone can endure such a crazy and exhausting life of cultivation.

Therefore, at this time, things like procreation, enjoying life with a Daoist partner, and developing other skills and hobbies are all important. Raising spirit beasts is naturally one of them.

Qi Ping saw quite a few creatures with spirit beasts along the way. These were things he'd never seen before!

Some outrageous individuals even fish on land!

Use a floating magical artifact, filled with spiritual water and some colorful and beautiful spiritual fish!

In comparison, Qi Ping seemed rather ordinary!
It is precisely because of the unique environment of the Azure Sky Domain that a very special cultivation civilization has emerged in the Azure Sky Domain.

Without the need to worry about others coveting it or about the dangers that may strike at any moment, the culture naturally entered a state of unparalleled prosperity.

First, there's the issue of the various cultivation arts. Thanks to the strong support and free basic education from Qingyuan Academy, countless people with poor cultivation aptitude have gradually found their interests and strengths after trying many different cultivation arts.

These various arts of cultivation are not limited to alchemy, talisman making, weapon crafting, and array formation—these require too much talent, and most people may not even achieve a basic level of mastery in their entire lives, let alone master them.

These skills also include music, painting, literature, immortal abode construction, spiritual cooking, spiritual herb cultivation, spiritual fruit cultivation, and immortal bird breeding. Beekeeping—the Azure Sky Domain is now the most developed place for beekeeping industry in the Star Sea Continent, with all kinds of high-quality honey famous throughout the Star Sea Continent and loved by countless gourmets.

According to statistics from Qingyuan Academy, there are more than 10,000 registered skills in Qingtian Domain, which is beyond description even by the "Ten Thousand Skills" of the cultivation world!

Qi Ping had once glanced at it and was amazed by the strange and wonderful techniques inside. For example, the spirit dolls, which were even more beautiful and delicate than female cultivators, were selling like hotcakes. Any type could be customized, and they even came with self-cleaning arrays that could produce different effects depending on the spiritual energy input.
Qi Ping could only say that he had truly broadened his horizons; this skill could even be promoted and developed in the world of cultivation.

But it is precisely because of this environment of both freedom and restriction that the creativity of cultivators has been given full play, resulting in countless skilled craftsmen in various fields and new types of artisans who are famous throughout the Star Sea Continent!
With the help of these myriad cultivation arts, the Azure Sky Domain is now entering a special state of development, and even the environment and lifestyle are undergoing extraordinary changes.

Some Golden Core cultivators even stated:
"I've only been in seclusion for a few decades, what era have I been transported to?"

A period of seclusion! Was her house robbed?

After inquiring, it was discovered that too many people had joined the Azure Sky Domain, leading to ongoing new construction and industrial development. The only thing that remained unchanged was the stable environment, the Azure Origin Academy that managed the entire Azure Sky Domain, and the Divine Bee Daoist, who had long been revered by ordinary cultivators.

Qi Ping walked alone with the little fairy tiger on the familiar road.

But this place is no longer what it used to be.

The once sparsely populated road is now bustling with activity, with all sorts of people riding spirit beasts and flying swords on the road.

When Qi Ping passed through Qing Shi Fang Shi, this once small market had expanded dozens of times, looking almost like a fairyland.

Countless shops and stalls, large and small, are set up in a lively yet orderly manner throughout the Qing Shi Fang City.

There are shops selling cultivation pills and weapons, spiritual medicines, food, and even wooden carvings and antiques. All kinds of shops are available.

The number of tourists has increased even more, more than a hundred times compared to the former Qing Shi Fang Shi. A young, beautiful, and energetic atmosphere permeates every corner of the market.

What's most terrifying is the transaction volume here. The daily transaction volume is more than a hundred times that of the past, so the taxes and fees generated are naturally extremely high. This is also an important reason why Qi Ping's storage ring is now full of spirit stones.

Qi Ping strolled slowly through every corner of Qing Shi Fang City and found that most of the shops were no longer there, but some remained.

For example, Jubao Pavilion, which started out, has now expanded more than tenfold and is one of the top ten leading shops in Qing Shi Fang City.

Unbeknownst to him, Qi Ping had arrived at the location of Boss Gao's former shop.

The old shop that Boss Gao once owned has naturally disappeared, replaced by a more luxurious and rationally designed fairy mansion.

Then, in one of the most conspicuous locations, I saw a place called "Gao Ji Honey".

"Gao's Honey? Could it be related to Boss Gao?"

Driven by curiosity, Qi Ping went inside.

This is a very luxurious shop, displaying all kinds of honey, packaged in exquisitely beautiful jade bottles.

The moment Qi Ping stepped inside, one of the beautiful female cultivators in the shop greeted him and asked sweetly:
"Welcome to Gao Ji Honey. What type of honey would you like, sir?"

"What are some of the most unique honeys in your store?" Qi Ping asked.

"Then you've come to the right place, sir! Our Gaoji Honey is the largest and most unique honey shop in the entire Qing Shi Fang City!"

"Oh? Then I've come to the right place! Qingshi County is famous for its honey industry. You dare to call yourselves that way, so you must be quite capable!"

"My lord, it's not that we're being arrogant, but the two most skilled honey-producing cultivators in Qing Shi County are our only partners. You've probably heard of Senior Zhou and Senior Nan, right? They're both honored guests at our shop!"

"Are they great?"

"Of course! No one in the entire Qing Shi County can compare to those two in beekeeping techniques! Some of their special honeys are in high demand throughout the entire Star Sea Continent, and some have already been pre-ordered for ten years from now!"

"In that case, I'll buy some to try. Do you have any recommendations? Any price range is fine!"

Hearing this, the female cultivator was startled, thinking that she had encountered a big client, and immediately became even more enthusiastic:

"Yes, sir, please come with me. This is brewed from the pollen of a foundation-building elixir. Consuming it will give you plenty of energy, allowing you to work non-stop for three days without feeling tired, and it can also strengthen your foundation and nourish your vital energy!"

"Great! Then help me pack it up!"

"okay!"

Just as Qi Ping was experiencing the world of mortals with the mindset of a customer, a middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator stepped forward.

This person is the owner of Gaoji Honey.

He comes to inspect the shop's interior from time to time.

But as he scanned the shop, his eyes swept over Qi Ping, who was dressed in white, and his expression suddenly froze for a moment as a peculiar memory began to surface in his mind.

After glancing at Qi Ping a few times, his eyes widened instantly, and then his pupils trembled violently.

Immediately afterward, the boss didn't rush to Qi Ping's side at top speed, but instead bowed deeply to Qi Ping with utmost solemnity, saying respectfully:
"Junior Gao Ming greets Senior!"

Gao Ming's actions immediately startled all the female employees in the shop!
This is the famous owner of Gaoji Honey, yet he bows so solemnly to a young man?
Just who is this young man?
Upon hearing the voice, Qi Ping turned around and looked at the person who was bowing.

Looking at that face, which was seven-tenths familiar, the figure of an old friend emerged from Qi Ping's memory.
