You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 56 Realm Breakthrough, Second Animal Companion Target
Qi Ping maintained his high-speed ring-cutting bee state, ready to escape at any time...

However, after this situation lasted for nearly two days, Qi Ping could no longer hold it in.

"Is there something wrong with this woman's brain?"

"You're just staying here if you can't find it?"

Qi Ping estimated that a new wave of demon insects would attack in about a day.

It would be fine if the demon insect was dealt with by the woman in green, but if it flew to the place where the blood ginseng grew, it would not only cause any mutations, but the secrets there would also be likely to be lost.

This was worse than wasting his time.

"How to do it?"

Qi Ping couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Through the observation over the past two days, he has confirmed that the woman in green is looking for the black-robed monk.

Fortunately, he had already carried away the body of the black-robed monk!

I don’t know if it’s because the aura of the black-robed monk died or completely disappeared here, this woman in green has been wandering from the foot of Peak No. 7 to the top of the mountain and refused to leave.

Just when Qi Ping was hesitating, Manager Zhu actually hurried to Peak No. 7, pointed at the peak when asked by the woman in green, and left after a while.

Qi Ping was now completely unable to hold back, and he knew that hiding any longer was not a solution.

“We have to face what we have to face”

"First, restrain your breath and follow Manager Zhu to see if you can hear anything first."

"If there is no other choice, I can only meet this woman in green. It seems that she has no ill intentions."

"But we still have to take precautions. The Ink-Armored Bee + Level 3 Tree Skin Technique is enough to resist the attacks of the High-Speed Ring Bees. As long as I am ready to transform at any time, the woman in green should not be able to hurt me in a short period of time. As for the remaining 500-odd High-Speed Ring Bees, I just need to be ready for battle."

The principle of tree skin technique is to use energy to form a bark-like high-defense armor on the body surface. Combined with the defense of the black-armored bee, it can resist even the damage of high-speed ring-cutting bees.

In addition, one hundred and fifty high-speed ring-cutting bees have matured in the past few days, so Qi Ping is still confident enough to deal with the woman in green.

The reason why I didn't show up before was simply because I thought it would be better to have less trouble than more.

Now even Manager Zhu is here. If Qi Ping doesn't show up, things may become even more troublesome.

What disappointed Qi Ping was that after restraining his breath and following Manager Zhu for a while, the latter did not have any strange habit of talking to himself.

However, Qi Ping did not gain nothing, because apart from the confusion in the other party's eyes, there was no fear or other negative emotions. This basically proved that the problem was not serious, otherwise Manager Zhu's expression would never be so relaxed.

This alleviated Qi Ping's worries a little.

So after about an hour, Qi Ping made up his mind and prepared himself, adjusted his mood, and then rushed back from a place far away from Peak No. 7.

As soon as he returned to Liangtian Peak, Qi Ping pretended to be in a hurry to check the black bees.

His facial expressions changed from anxious, to relieved, to happy to see good honey production, without any flaws.

Because Qi Ping had experienced this kind of emotion many times before, it was not pretended, but was a real emotion he had always had.

Just as Qi Ping was taking care of the black bee, the pretty woman in green, who showed no emotion, suddenly appeared not far away holding the ink-colored compass.

What disappointed her was that Luo Pan didn't react to Qi Ping at all.

When Qi Ping turned around and saw the other person for the first time, he was a little frightened at first, and then when he saw the special pattern of Qingyuan Sect's clothes on her clothes, he became a little panicked.

"Sir, I am Qi Ping, greetings to Master Qingyuanzong!" Qi Ping hurriedly clasped his fists and said respectfully.

This woman is probably younger than Qi Ping. She will definitely be a foundation-building cultivator in the future, or even a golden elixir cultivator. So it is not an exaggeration to call her "sir".

"Are you the tenant of this mountain? How many years have you been working here?" The voice of the woman in green was very calm, not as condescending or aggressive as imagined.

"My Lord, I have been raising bees here with my master for more than five years. Because of the emergence of the Tribulation Cultivator and the Demonic Insect, my master returned to the mortal world half a month ago."

Qi Ping was still clenching his fists nervously.

When the woman in green saw Qi Ping's look, she asked him to relax.

"Don't be nervous, just answer my questions truthfully!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Although Qi Ping said this, his body was still tense, and he looked like he wanted to relax but couldn't.

Seeing this, the woman in green said nothing more, but continued to ask: "Why haven't you been on the mountain these days? Where have you been?"

"My Lord, I have been away for the past few days."

The woman in green asked several questions in a row, and Qi Ping answered them all tremblingly.

Qi Ping has thought about these issues over and over again, so there will basically be no loopholes.

The woman in green activated the black compass several times again, and after confirming that Qi Ping was indeed fine, she finally said to Qi Ping:

"I was tracking a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, but he disappeared when I got here. He has a demon worm under his control, which is very dangerous."

"The other party may still be here, so you should leave as soon as possible, otherwise your life may be in danger. But..."

The woman in blue suddenly changed the subject:
"If you help me find that person, I can give you 2,000 spirit stones! Here is a sensing jade talisman. I can come here quickly after you crush it..."

"Two thousand spirit stones?" Qi Ping's eyes suddenly widened.

Wow, he is worthy of being a disciple of Qingyuan Sect, he is really rich!
But what was there about that robbery cultivator that was worthy of the attention of the woman in green in front of her?

There are less than a thousand spirit stones. The Wood Flame Art and the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill Recipe are very precious to Qi Ping, but to this inner sect disciple of Qingyuan Sect who has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, they are probably nothing.

All Qi Ping could think of was that evil token.

In the eyes of the woman in green, Qi Ping hesitated for a long time, and finally took the sensing jade talisman from her hand.

"Sir, I do!"

"Okay, I swear as a disciple of Qingyuan Sect that I will never deceive you on this matter!"

The woman in green swore an oath to the sky with one hand before turning and leaving.

This final vow surprised Qi Ping.

Practitioners should not take vows lightly, because even breaking the simplest vow carries the risk of fostering inner demons.

"It seems that the man in black robe has something very important to the woman in green."

However, Qi Ping had no intention of earning the two thousand spirit stones. There would definitely be a lot of trouble involved, and he didn't want to get involved.

For nearly a day, Qi Ping lived the life of a normal beekeeper. This was very familiar to him as he had been living this way for more than five years.

The woman in green had been observing Qi Ping in secret and only left after observing him for almost a whole day.

"Fortunately, the woman in green left before the demon worm appeared."

Qi Ping breathed a sigh of relief only after he ordered the high-speed ring-cutting bees to kill the magic worms and quickly disposed of their corpses. If the woman in green had left later, she might have been exposed.

After wasting several days, Qi Ping's farming and beekeeping life finally got back on track...

“This kind of life is still comfortable!”

Just farm and raise bees in peace and stability.

……

More than a week later, with a surge of spiritual power, Qi Ping's cultivation broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"My cultivation has finally broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refining!"

After the breakthrough in his cultivation, Qi Ping felt that his overall physical condition had improved a lot and his lifespan had also increased, which made him quite happy.

This step-by-step journey towards immortality feels pretty good...

"Now that my cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refining, and the number of high-speed ring-cutting bees has reached 800, it's time to head to Qingshifang City!"

Qi Ping has been thinking about a new animal partner for a long time. Now he has enough spirit stones and is strong enough to protect himself, so he is determined to find a suitable animal partner this time.

"I hope Boss Gao can help. After investigating for so long, he should have a complete understanding of the information of the spiritual beasts for sale in Qingshifang City..."

Qi Ping still had some confidence in Boss Gao's intelligence capabilities. He could probably find out the color of each female cultivator's underwear. Anyway, everything would be easy as long as the spirit stones were in place.

“I hope I can find a surprising animal companion this time!”

After Qi Ping made all the necessary preparations, he set out on the journey to Qingshifang City with great anticipation...
