A Spiritual Land is too important for the growth of Spirit Plants.
Therefore, Qi Ping moved the First Order Low-grade Spirit Concentrating Grass and the First Order Low-grade Water-Glow Flower to the blood ginseng cultivation area.
On the mountain peak he rented, only the blood ginseng cultivation area and the Moon Sleep Flower cultivation area could barely support the growth of these two Spirit Plants.
To Qi Ping's pleasant surprise, tests revealed that these two Spirit Plants could also absorb the mysterious Spiritual Qi from underground, just like the blood ginseng.
Under the cultivation of ample Spiritual Qi and the blessing of Qi Ping's [Plant Growth] skill, the Spirit Concentrating Grass and Water-Glow Flower quickly recovered to their peak state, with their age continuously increasing.
Qi Ping thus obtained two new high-quality Spirit Plants!
For Qi Ping, this was a small profit. If he ran out of Spirit Stones, selling them wouldn't pose too much risk.
At the same time, this made Qi Ping even more curious: what exactly was beneath this land?
To be able to support the growth of so many Spirit Plants simultaneously, whatever was underground was definitely not ordinary!
However, Qi Ping still resisted the urge to explore. His current strength was still in a rapid growth phase, and he didn't have such a great need for new Opportunities. Sometimes, knowing when to stop was a better choice.
Especially when the risks and Opportunities were unknown. If something that could emit so much Spiritual Qi posed a danger, it would be absolutely fatal to Qi Ping.
Qi Ping decided to explore the underground only when his strength reached a Bottleneck, or if he needed to plant more Advanced Spirit Plants that this land could no longer support.
"After more than a month of Cultivation, and refining the enhanced golden marrow honey several times, my Cultivation had already Broken Through to Qi Refining Third Level a few days ago. I believe it won't be long before I catch up to Old Zhou."
Qi Ping smiled as he summarized his progress over the past month.
Overall, his strength growth was quite gratifying.
Firstly, in terms of Cultivation, after refining golden marrow honey with blood ginseng as the main ingredient four times, Qi Ping's Cultivation officially Broke Through from early Qi Refining Second Level to Qi Refining Third Level.
It must be said that the medicinal properties of blood ginseng and the honey-making ability of the Gold Marrow Bees are both incredibly effective.
Especially after Qi Ping's multiple accelerated growths, as the blood ginseng's age increased, its medicinal properties also became stronger and stronger.
Coupled with the fact that blood ginseng ranks among the top First Order Intermediate Spirit Medicine, it was able to achieve such powerful effects.
This allowed a Cultivator with such low Talent like Qi Ping to Break Through from Qi Refining First Level to Qi Refining Third Level in less than two short months.
Under normal circumstances, Qi Ping would be considered lucky to achieve this leap within twenty years.
But now he used only less than two months!
This shows the effectiveness of blood ginseng and Gold Marrow Bees. For a Cultivator in the Qi Refining Early Stage like Qi Ping, it could be considered a dimensionality reduction attack, which is why the improvement effect was so astonishing.
Of course, part of it was also due to the Jungle Druid's ability to receive multiple buffs in the mountains and forests; otherwise, Qi Ping's efficiency in accelerating Spirit Plant Growth and Cultivation would be significantly reduced.
The Druid brought fundamental and essential improvements to Qi Ping.
In addition to his Cultivation Breaking Through to Qi Refining Third Level, Qi Ping's Wood Shield Skill also reached the Minor Achievement Realm during this period.
Now he could easily form a highly defensive Spiritual Qi shield anywhere around his body.
After Qi Ping's tests, if he were to attack with his own Magical Artifact long blade, he would not be able to break the shield formed by the Wood Shield Skill in a short period.
This demonstrates the defensive power of the Wood Shield Skill as a defensive Cultivation Technique.
After testing, Qi Ping increasingly felt that the Wood Shield Skill was extraordinary, at least stronger than ordinary Cultivation Techniques.
Defensive Cultivation Techniques were also particularly suited to Qi Ping's style, as the Gold Marrow Bees' combat power was much higher than his. It was important for him to improve his own defense to avoid being targeted as a weakness by Advanced Cultivators.
Besides Cultivation and Cultivation Techniques, Qi Ping's progress in the Druid profession was also very gratifying.
[Name: Qi Ping]
[Rank: lv1 (83/100)]
[Profession: Beast King Druid (Main), Jungle Druid (Sub)]
[Talent: Animal Companion, Nature Affinity]
[Animal Companion: (1/1) Gold Marrow Bee]
[Skills: lv1 Plant Growth (47/100), lv1 Beast King's Grace (7/100)]
[Skills (Constant): Animal Communication, Turning Beasts into Friends]
The Druid Level is only 17 experience points away from reaching Level Two!
The Plant Growth skill experience has also increased by almost half!
The growth of the Beast King's Grace skill experience was relatively slower, only increasing by 7 points; however, this did not surprise Qi Ping, as it was similar to his previous life.
But even though this skill improves slowly, its effect is absolutely powerful. Even at Level One, when the number of Animal Companions increases in the future, this amplification will reach a terrifying degree.
"The Druid Level will soon reach Level Two. At that time, not only can I contract a new Animal Companion, but I can also choose two more Druid skills!"
Looking at the upcoming level upgrade, Qi Ping's heart was filled with joy and a strong sense of anticipation.
The benefits that come with increasing the Druid Level are too great!
Not to mention the two new skills, just the newly added Animal Companion contract slot is attractive enough.
A new Animal Companion + sharing an Animal Companion's Talent, its effect on Qi Ping can be seen from the Gold Marrow Bees.
Powerful combat ability, extremely high vigilance, and the ability to brew extraordinary honey—each of these plays a crucial role for Qi Ping!
As long as the contracted Animal Companion is powerful enough, Qi Ping's strength will be greatly improved again!
The room for imagination is very large…
"Overall, the progress over the past month or so has been very good!"
"This mountain peak is also very suitable for my improvement, so the rent must be paid on time. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if this plot of land were rented by someone else."
The mysterious Spiritual Qi underground where the blood ginseng grows is something Qi Ping absolutely cannot lose. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to find another Spiritual Land where blood ginseng can grow, unless he spends a lot of Spirit Stones to rent those First Order Spiritual Lands.
Two days later, Qi Ping began to prepare for his trip to the Fusheng Society and Qing Shi Market.
"The Black Little Bee honey to be sold on this trip is ready. The quality of this batch of honey is quite good, with a total of eleven bottles. It should fetch a good price!"
Thanks to the improvement of the Black Little Bees by the golden marrow honey, and the significant increase in nectar from Spirit Flowers, the quality of the honey has improved by at least two grades.
"Now, the most important thing is to ensure my own safety."
"More than a month ago, Old Zhou said that robber cultivators were rampant in Qing Shi County again, and I still don't know what the situation is."
So, for his own safety, Qi Ping absolutely had to bring the Gold Marrow Bees.
The problem was how to carry them without being discovered by others.
It wasn't difficult to conceal their physical form, but it might not escape the Divine Sense scans of other Cultivators, and entering Qing Shi Market, there was a chance of being inspected by Divine Sense.
It was also possible to be scanned by the Divine Sense of Cultivators with ulterior motives.
"What should I do?"
Qi Ping was a bit troubled.
"If only I had a Spirit Beast Bag."
