You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 40: Farewell, Demonic Insect Corpse

Within the Fu Sheng Association...

"I think everyone is well aware of the current situation. The demon worm was born, and two people from our Fusheng Society died as a result. Everyone, please share the information you have learned and the solutions you have thought of."

This time, Wang Shan did not talk nonsense as usual, chatting and joking with everyone, but went straight to the point with a very serious expression.

Just yesterday, a member of the Fusheng Society was eaten to death by evil insects while he was out gathering information. Coupled with the death of Lin Chaoyang, the situation has become critical.

No one has the mind to think about other things at the moment. There is only one purpose for coming here today, which is to get information and share the solutions that each other has thought of.

"Let me go first!" said Fatty Zhou, who was the one who caused the black duck to be poisoned by insects last time.

"I don't know much about the news, so I will just tell you my plan. I plan to return to being a mortal with my wife and children and never set foot in the world of immortal cultivation again."

"It's too difficult to be an independent cultivator. It was fine before, but now there are cultivator robberies and insect plagues, rent increases, and safety cannot be guaranteed."

"Although my child has spiritual talent, it is not high. If he has to face the same difficulties as me in the future, it would be better for him to return to the mortal world and live a free and happy life as a rich man."

"I sold all my stuff and paid the relocation fee, and I still have a lot left. I contacted the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce yesterday and am prepared to pay a fee to have them take us away from here. If you have any ideas, you can come with me."

Fatty Zhou's face was full of helplessness when he said this. If he wasn't helpless, who would want to give up cultivating immortals?
Once you return to the mortal world, the spiritual energy there is so thin that it is almost non-existent, and once the spiritual energy is used up, it is almost impossible to replenish it.

Cultivation is even more impossible.

As the spiritual energy in the body is consumed and disappears, if there is no spiritual stone or other things to replenish it, the realm of cultivation will slowly dissipate.
Therefore, no cultivator would want to return to the mortal world unless forced to do so.

But for the safety of his wife and children, Fatty Zhou had no choice but to make this choice.

After listening to this, Qi Ping and others expressed their understanding. For Fatty Zhou, this was indeed the best choice.

Wang Shan heard this and said:

"That's my plan too. Let's go together. With the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce here, we'll be much safer. Some people were killed by robbers on their way out."

"But after sending my wife to the mortal world, I will come back. By then, I will find a way to join the three major families and do odd jobs. I myself have no hope, but I can save up capital for my children to venture into the world of immortal cultivation in the future."

"Then, I also heard today that the number of demon insects that appeared in the secret realm this time was far beyond imagination. Qingyuan Sect and the three major families dispatched many foundation-building and late-stage Qi-refining cultivators to suppress them, but they only managed to eliminate a small number of the demon insects, and even killed many late-stage Qi-refining cultivators, and several foundation-building cultivators were injured."

"All the foundation-building cultivators are injured?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Has the situation gotten to such a serious point?
"Well, yes..." Wang Shan affirmed.

The only one who remained calm was the thin, sallow-faced Li Peng. He casually took over the topic and said:

"Brother Shan is right. This time the number and strength of the demon insects have reached a point where even the three major families working together will have difficulty in dealing with them."

"But there is no need to worry too much. There won't be many demon insects left in Qingshi County. I estimate that about 60% of us casual cultivators can survive this crisis."

"So my way of dealing with it is very simple, which is to stay. Whether I can survive depends on luck."

"."

When the other members of the Fusheng Society heard this way of responding, they were speechless, but this style was very Li Peng!
After all, this is a man who remained fearless even after being almost sucked dry by a male cultivator.

Qi Ping also always felt that this guy had a very calm sense of madness.

However, Li Peng's identity seemed to have other secrets. Although Li Peng was confused, he knew a lot of things in Qingshi County. At this moment, what he said was probably true. "Let me add another piece of information," Li Peng continued:

"As for the issue of suppressing the robbery cultivators, the reason why the Qingyuan Sect did not dare to take action is that there are people from the Evil Followers Alliance among the robbery cultivators."

"I'm not sure if the reason why Qingyuan Sect chose to let Jie Xiu go was because they didn't dare to take action, but it is absolutely true that there are people from the Evil Alliance among them."

When they heard the term "Evil Followers Alliance", everyone was puzzled. What kind of force is this? Even Qingyuan Sect is afraid of it?
"The Evil Followers Alliance?"

"Well, the Evil Alliance is an organization that causes headaches for the entire cultivation world. Since they have transformed into calamity cultivators and appeared here, they must be planning something. In my opinion, their danger may be even greater than that of the demon insects. Perhaps what they are planning is also related to the demon insects."

"Of course, the Evil Alliance does not necessarily bring danger. Sometimes they will spread skills, natural treasures, etc., although the probability is not high."

"In short, staying here may not mean there will be opportunities to seek wealth and fame in a risky way. Those who seek stability can leave, and those who want to take a chance can stay here."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing what the skinny Li Peng said. This contained a lot of information.

But everyone also knows that what Li Peng said is basically true.
After everyone asked some more details about the Evil Followers Alliance, it was Qi Ping, Sister Nan, and Meng Shanshan's turn. The three of them each talked about their own response methods and what they knew. After a brief discussion, everyone said goodbye.

Wang Shan and Fatty Zhou went to the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce to arrange their return to the mortal world.

The thin man Li Peng went towards the brothel.

Meng Shanshan said that she had formed a Taoist couple with a disciple from a sect in another major domain. The man promised to take her away after finishing his work in Qingshi County. She came here to say the final goodbye to everyone on behalf of her father.

After this farewell, perhaps there will never be a day when we meet again...

Sister Nan also chose to stay here like Qi Ping, and she had no hesitation about it.

Qi Ping felt that she seemed to have some reason to stay in the world of immortal cultivation, or even to stay in Qingshi County.

But if she didn't say it, Qi Ping wouldn't ask. Who doesn't have their own secrets?
Qi Ping would naturally not leave. A place that could easily supply a large number of first-level intermediate spiritual medicines was enough reason for Qi Ping to stay.

There are also secrets hidden underground under the blood ginseng. Qi Ping plans to try to dig it up and take a look after the high-speed ring-cutting bee explosion is completed.

In the past, you could slowly wait for your strength to improve, and it didn’t matter if it was a little slower.

But if you don’t do it now, you may never have the chance again.

Moreover, when digging, Qi Ping planned to send a small number of golden marrow bees to dig and explore the way, and then he would take the queen bee, most of the bee colonies, and Old Man Zhou, and be ready to run away at any time, so that he could ensure his own safety to the greatest extent.

However, just when Qi Ping returned to the mountain from Fushenghui and was about to cultivate blood ginseng, he was hurriedly taken to a place by the golden marrow bees.

"Buzz... (Boss, something happened!)"

"What happened?"

"Buzz... (Come with us! There are some fierce bugs!)"

When Qi Ping followed the golden bees through a dense forest, dozens of dead bodies of demon insects and dozens of dead bodies of golden bees came into his sight at the same time...

Qi Ping's expression suddenly turned ugly...
