Chapter 360 Thunder Tribulation Divine Bamboo?

Faced with this Azure Thunder Bamboo with the potential to become a celestial being, Qi Ping did not hesitate to form a contract.

This special spirit wood, whose potential has already been confirmed, no longer needs to be tested and examined slowly like other spirit woods.

In the world of Xianxia (fantasy martial arts), the growth of spirit trees, spirit insects, spirit beasts, or humans differs greatly.

The growth and transformation of spiritual trees have a natural stability, and the risks of breakthroughs and growth are much smaller.

The spirituality born from a spirit tree represents its potential. To some extent, the spirit of a spirit tree and its physical body are one. Unlike spirit beasts and humans, whose power is so difficult to control, if one's Dao heart is not strong enough, one will be devoured by the power and their soul will be destroyed!
In a sense, the spiritual wood is the spiritual heart of Tao!

"Let me see what makes you so special!"

After saying that, as Qi Ping used his [Tree Spirit Contract] ability, a special contract array quickly took shape.

When that special, ethereal green light merged with the spirituality of the Azure Thunder Bamboo, an incomparably special connection quickly formed between Qi Ping and the Azure Thunder Bamboo.

"What?! Such terrifying affinity with the laws!"

The moment the Tree Spirit Contract was completed, Qi Ping immediately sensed the difference in this Green Thunder Bamboo!
With the help of the tree spirit of the Azure Thunder Bamboo, he could clearly feel an extremely terrifying affinity between the Azure Thunder Bamboo and the Thunder Attribute Law!
That seemingly unremarkable spiritual energy of the Azure Thunder Bamboo actually possesses an incredibly terrifying degree of legal perfection and spiritual integration.

"No wonder this Green Thunder Bamboo has such high potential!" Qi Ping's doubts were instantly resolved.

Such a spiritual tree, given enough spiritual energy and enough lightning-attribute energy, will grow at an incredibly fast speed. In particular, special lightning-attribute energy will greatly accelerate the growth of the Azure Thunder Bamboo!
"In this way, the cultivation speed of Green Thunder Bamboo can be increased significantly!"

This undoubtedly gave Qi Ping a huge surprise.

He originally thought that cultivating a powerful spirit tree would take a lot of time and would also require him to use [Plant Growth] a lot of his time.

But now it seems that the spiritual plants of the past simply did not possess the super potential spirituality of the Green Thunder Bamboo.

All the green bamboo needs to grow is resources!
The only uncertainty is that the birth of a spirit tree's consciousness is very mysterious. Legend has it that even if a spirit tree grows to the level of an immortal, it may not be able to give birth to a complete consciousness!

Compared to the fact that spirit beasts and humans are born with complete consciousness, this situation can only be a trade-off. The special nature of spirit wood itself determines that the birth of consciousness is extremely difficult, which is one of the reasons why spirit plants and monsters are so rare in the cultivation world.

Otherwise, if spirit trees, which have few restrictions on growth, could freely develop consciousness, the entire cultivation world would have long been dominated by spirit tree spirits.

"Even if I can't develop a complete consciousness in the end, I can still cultivate it into a treant warrior for combat!"

In any case, as long as these spirit trees are powerful enough, the tree shepherd's abilities will reach an extremely terrifying level!

After completing the contract, Qi Ping quickly cast a lightning-attribute technique into the tree spirit of the Azure Thunder Bamboo. Its purpose was to absorb lightning-attribute energy and pure lightning-attribute abilities. It was the most basic spell with a compatibility of almost 100%.

"Once the Green Thunder Bamboo grows a bit larger, we'll match it with the most suitable spells based on its future growth characteristics and direction!"

After completing the spell imprint, Qi Ping took out a pile of lightning-attribute spiritual resources from his storage ring and placed them next to the Azure Lightning Bamboo planted in the center of the fourth-order spiritual vein, allowing it to absorb them.

At the same time, Qi Ping also set up a powerful lightning-attribute spirit-gathering array next to the Green Thunder Bamboo!
In an instant, abundant lightning-attribute energy gathered around the Azure Thunder Bamboo!
With the help of this power, the growth rate of the Green Thunder Bamboo increased several times over!
The entire bamboo began to transform rapidly. The original green bamboo body gradually gained a touch of purple, and purple lightning marks radiating thunderous intent began to emerge!

"Suck it in!"

Qi Ping was also very excited when he saw this scene. The faster the Green Thunder Bamboo grows, the better!

Moreover, he didn't care at all about these lightning-attribute resources. Given the current tax revenue rate in the Azure Sky Domain, the lightning-attribute resources absorbed by the Azure Lightning Bamboo were just a drop in the ocean.

This is the source of Qi Ping's confidence!
He has so many spirit stones he can't possibly spend them all—how extravagant!

Having the entire thriving Azure Sky Domain at his disposal, Qi Ping has virtually unlimited resources available to anyone below the Nascent Soul stage, especially those below the Divine Transformation stage.

While this may be an exaggeration, it is enough to illustrate the abundance of resources Qi Ping currently possesses, making it incredibly easy for him to cultivate a Green Thunder Bamboo.

"The only difficult thing is obtaining truly high-level lightning-attribute resources."

Qi Ping has no way to deal with this now, because from the Nascent Soul stage onwards, all kinds of resources have become extremely precious.

Even with Qi Ping's current status, it would be impossible for him to obtain a large amount of Nascent Soul stage resources.

But...

A peculiar smile suddenly appeared on Qi Ping's face.

Qi Ping might have some concerns about resources with other attributes, but he wasn't worried about resources with the lightning attribute at all.

Is there any better lightning-attribute resource than lightning tribulation?

What is the Azure Sky Domain lacking the most right now?
It's a tribulation of lightning!

The Azure Sky Domain now has too many cultivators and discovered geniuses. There are numerous breakthroughs almost every day, and Golden Core cultivators are no longer rare.

Moreover, for the sake of safety during their breakthroughs, the vast majority of these cultivators choose to break through at the training grounds set up by Qi Ping, because absolute safety can be guaranteed there.

Before you can kill Bee Daoist, there's absolutely no way you can disrupt the breakthrough of anyone in the dojo. And you think you can kill Bee Daoist? Dream on!

In the current Azure Sky Domain, the Bee Daoist is practically a god!
Not to mention the cultivators in the Azure Sky Domain itself, even cultivators from other sects outside the Azure Sky Domain, as long as they have no past grudges with Bee Daoist, many choose to spend spirit stones to come to the Azure Sky Domain's Daoist temple for breakthroughs.

Nothing more than safety!

Qi Ping's original plan to attract others to the Azure Sky Domain and to help the Azure Sky Domain expand through breakthroughs has now become the best place for Azure Thunder Bamboo to cultivate!

The terrifying lightning tribulation power that occurs every now and then—who knows what level it will transform the Azure Thunder Bamboo to?
Moreover, each breakthrough a cultivator makes generates special Dao essence and spiritual energy. Absorbing a small amount may not be of much help, but long-term absorption and devouring may greatly increase the potential of the Azure Thunder Bamboo!
"Once the Azure Thunder Bamboo grows to the third rank, we will create a special spiritual land for it in the breakthrough training ground, so that it can reside there permanently!"

Qi Ping suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. What level would the Azure Thunder Bamboo, which had absorbed countless lightning tribulations, transform into?
Thunder Tribulation Divine Bamboo?

A strong sense of anticipation suddenly rose in Qi Ping's heart.

The growth of this green bamboo seems very promising!
Just as Qi Ping was pondering how to cultivate the Green Thunder Bamboo, the bamboo grew considerably, and a special insight emerged from it.

Qi Ping immediately used the [Plant Monarch] ability to integrate this special insight.

When this insight was absorbed by Qi Ping, Qi Ping's eyes widened in surprise.

"The insights provided by this Azure Thunder Bamboo are indeed different from those of other ordinary trees. This kind of understanding, which is almost a fusion with the laws of thunder, is far superior to that of other ordinary spiritual trees!" "It seems that there are now more reasons to cultivate immortal-grade spiritual trees!"

Putting aside the preciousness of the Immortal-grade Spirit Wood itself and the powerful combat strength it brings, the mere fact that Qi Ping could use the [Plant Monarch]'s abilities to gain insights into the Immortal-grade Spirit Wood was enough to make Qi Ping go to great lengths to achieve this!
"In that case, quickly gathering all the celestial-grade potential spirit woods with Yin-Yang and Five Elements attributes can accelerate and elevate one's understanding of the laws to an even more terrifying level!"

Thinking of this, Qi Ping's gaze pierced through endless space and landed on the two siblings, Chang Qing and Chang E.

The brother and sister are currently using their special talents to select the seeds most likely to give birth to spirituality.

"Keep it up, you two little ones!"

"I have arranged everything you need for safety, cultivation resources, and even the things you need to restore your physical essence. The future depends heavily on you to help us gather the various types of immortal-grade potential spirit woods more quickly!"

The appearance of this brother and sister was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise for Qi Ping.

Moreover, as long as the brother and sister can help him complete the collection of immortal-grade potential spirit wood, Qi Ping can ensure that they break through to the first-class level of the Azure Sky Domain.

Qi Ping could easily deal with the grudge of his clan's extermination, but when it comes to revenge, it's always more satisfying to do it himself.

Qi Ping was very satisfied with the way the brother and sister were working!
"However, at this rate, the acquisition of spirit seeds will be insufficient. We need to increase the speed at which we acquire various spirit seeds!"

After a brief moment of thought, Qi Ping summoned Lin Yue.

Not long after Qi Ping's message was sent out, the miserable working-class Lin Yue reappeared!

However, unlike before, Lin Yue's cultivation level has now broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!

This is the reward Lin Yue received as a working person.

"Dean, is there anything you need me to do?"

Lin Yue asked with utmost respect.

Among the beings Qi Ping currently believes in, Lin Yue is the strongest.

"If you want to collect more spirit seeds, start with the lower-level ones, and then hand them over to Changqing and Chang'e, the siblings, to select and cultivate the best ones. You must ensure that every suitable seed is planted and plays its role. You know better than me how to do this!"

"Now that the academy has plenty of spirit stones, I need to arrange for more people to simultaneously and quickly acquire all the publicly available spirit seed stocks across the entire Star Sea Continent before the price of spirit seeds skyrockets!"

"In short, I need to obtain the most spirit wood seeds in the shortest amount of time. The rest depends on how well you lead your team!"

Qi Ping quickly revealed his thoughts to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue needed to figure out how to acquire more spirit seeds at the lowest possible cost.

He was already quite good at this, and now his think tank was full of talented people. With some foresight, it wouldn't be difficult for him to handle the acquisition of spirit seeds.

After completing this acquisition, it's no longer Qi Ping's concern to what level the prices of those spirit seeds will soar to.

They might even be able to sell a large quantity of spirit wood by taking advantage of this turmoil.

When he stops buying spirit seeds in large quantities, the market will gradually decline.

The number of spirit seeds that Qi Ping wants to acquire this time is too large. Even with Qi Ping's current terrifying wealth, it is uncertain whether he can easily complete this acquisition.

But no matter what, Qi Ping absolutely had to do this!

As long as we can find a spirit tree with the potential to become an immortal, it's a profit!

If you can find all the attributes, the profit is probably beyond description.

Most importantly, after this, he will not only have a group of the most powerful tree warriors, but his speed of comprehending the laws will also increase significantly!
"How powerful the Treant class can become in the short term depends on the effectiveness of this wave of attacks."

After increasing his stakes in the search for higher-grade spirit trees, Qi Ping began to focus on cultivating other spirit trees—imprinting spells suitable for each type of spirit tree based on its unique properties!
Although these spirit trees have not yet shown any direct potential to reach the immortal level, it does not mean that their upper limit is fixed.

As they grow and change, there is still a possibility that more powerful spirit trees will emerge in the future, but Qi Ping will basically not spend a large amount of extra resources to support them.

Only the most powerful among them are qualified to become his contract partners.

"These are all the foundation stones for the future of the Azure Sky Domain!"

It took Qi Ping nearly a month to complete the inscription of all the spiritual wood spells.

After completing all this work, Qi Ping looked at the thriving spirit trees and felt very satisfied!

These abundant high-potential spirit trees will not only become the strongest foundation of the Azure Sky Domain's Zhou Tian Formation in the future, but will also provide the greatest assistance for the growth of the Azure Sky Domain's spiritual veins. Their spirit tree essence can greatly increase the growth speed of the spiritual veins.

In fact, nowadays, it's not just these spirit trees. Qi Ping now spends spirit stones to have cultivators from the Azure Sky Domain voluntarily contribute a portion of their original spiritual power and spirituality into their spiritual veins, within the limits of what can be restored.

Because it offered restorative pills without damaging one's foundation, and also provided spirit stones, coupled with the Bee Daoist's appeal, countless cultivators were attracted to join this operation.

The reason why the spiritual veins of the Azure Sky Domain can improve so rapidly is because they gather the will, essence, and spiritual energy of all living beings!

It is under this power that the spiritual veins are transforming at an incredible speed, and their spirituality is becoming more and more abundant!

Moreover, Qi Ping could clearly sense that this spiritual vein was undergoing an incredible transformation, and he even felt that this spiritual vein might transform into a level higher than that special dragon vein in the Cloud Mist Mountains in the future.

The future is expected!

Such a spiritual vein, growing under these special conditions, seems to be unique in the history of the Xianxia world that Qi Ping currently knows.

The only downside for Qi Ping is that he has to spend a lot of spirit stones and resources every year.

However, compared to the benefits and long-term gains that a powerful spiritual vein can bring, the return on investment is extremely high.

After completing all this, Qi Ping began to quietly wait for Lin Yue to acquire the spiritual seeds of the Star Sea Continent. Qi Ping could not help but worry about this.

However, before the acquisition of the spirit seeds began, something happened that greatly surprised Qi Ping:
The Voidfish have arrived!
