Qi Ping looked at the excited Lin Chaoyang in front of him, feeling a bit speechless.
Given Qi Ping's current situation, a High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee legion with combat power comparable to the Qi Refining Late Stage would be cultivated in just over a month.
At the same time, he could also accelerate the cultivation of Spirit Medicine on that mysterious plot of land, and the blood ginseng could already self-propagate.
Qi Ping estimated that he wouldn't need to worry about Spirit Medicine supply until Qi Refining Sixth Level, and once new hundred-year blood ginseng appeared, he could even consider cultivating some new Bee species.
Under such conditions, Qi Ping would only choose to risk going to that Secret Realm with no guarantees for an Opportunity if he had a screw loose.
However, Qi Ping also knew that Lin Chaoyang had good intentions; otherwise, there would be no reason for him to seek out a Cultivator who was only at Qi Refining First Level.
Who would willingly bring along a burden? This kind of thing could probably only be done by Lin Chaoyang, that naive rich Disciple.
When Qi Ping first met Lin Chaoyang, he also thought he was putting on an act, but later he discovered that he was just like that, consistently for several years.
After careful consideration, Qi Ping still decided to first inquire about the Secret Realm's information.
It wasn't to consider whether it was worth going, but to confirm his inner conjectures about that Demon Insect Sect.
"Chaoyang, you know, Brother Qi's strength is average. I certainly wouldn't dare to easily set foot in a dangerous place like a Secret Realm. Have you found out the specific situation inside? Is it dangerous?"
Qi Ping said this sincerely; in a place like a Secret Realm, even a High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee legion couldn't protect him.
"Brother Qi, I've found out everything clearly, so you can rest assured!"
"Let me tell you, there's at least an eighty percent chance that this Secret Realm is a trial Secret Realm set up by an ancient Sect for Qi Refining Disciples, and only those with Qi Refining Middle Stage and below cultivation can enter."
"Inside, as long as you can pass the test, you can obtain rich rewards. Brother Qi, these are rewards from an ancient Sect."
At this point, Lin Chaoyang's tone became excited. Qi Ping was the only young man of similar age in the Fusheng Society, and it was only right for the two of them to go and seize this Opportunity.
If they could achieve Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core because of this in the future, it might even become a beautiful story.
So Lin Chaoyang continued:
"Moreover, this Secret Realm tests Heart-Nature and potential, not strength. You and I, brothers, will charge through it together, hehe."
"The only possible danger is that I heard there might be Rank One Demon Insects inside? But this is just a rumor, the probability is small, after all, trial Secret Realms generally don't have such things."
When talking about Demon Insects, Lin Chaoyang was a bit nonchalant. He didn't believe such unverified rumors!
Perhaps other Cultivators deliberately spread them to scare others away.
However, when Qi Ping heard the words "Demon Insect," his heart immediately sank. It matched!
For Qi Ping, who had seen traces of Blood Nectar Insect, contracted Gold Marrow Bee, and held the Demon Insect Breeding Handbook, he could be certain that it was not just a rumor; it was one hundred percent true!
No way! Not even if it killed him! Qi Ping secretly decided in his heart.
So, after learning this news, Qi Ping no longer beat around the bush and refused without hesitation.
"Chaoyang, I think this news about Demon Insects is very likely true, because I heard from others that their figures have already appeared in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and the specific details are described, so the credibility is very high. Therefore, brother, I'm still not going."
"How about we all wait and see? Let the first wave of people scout the way first?" Qi Ping added, suggesting.
He could be sure that many people might die in the first wave!
Once the news spread, Lin Chaoyang would naturally be dissuaded as well.
"Brother Qi, I think this is news released by other Cultivators to prevent us from going."
??
What kind of thought process is this?
Qi Ping was truly speechless, but he still patiently said:
"Chaoyang, it's always better to be cautious in everything…"
However, after a debate, neither of them convinced the other.
But in the end, Lin Chaoyang wasn't angry; he just said before parting:
It
"Brother Qi, then I'll go scout the way for you first. When I bring back the Opportunity for you to see, Brother Qi, you mustn't decline again."
After saying this, Lin Chaoyang bid farewell and left.
And Qi Ping looked at Lin Chaoyang's departing back, wanting to advise him again, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
It seemed everything that could be said had already been said.
After all, he couldn't reveal his own secrets, right? This was absolutely impossible for Qi Ping.
And directly tying up Lin Chaoyang was even more impossible; obstructing someone from achieving the Dao was comparable to killing one's father. Qi Ping couldn't say that he was definitely right; perhaps Lin Chaoyang was truly a person of great fortune?
Finally, Qi Ping's open mouth could only turn into a helpless sigh.
Living a stable life by hiding versus fighting fiercely for the Opportunity to achieve the Dao, which one was right?
It seemed everyone had their own choices, and there were people who reached the end with each choice…
With such complex emotions, Qi Ping began to tend to the ordinary flowers that had been neglected for several days.
The Black Little Bee still relied on these for nectar, and what Qi Ping could currently sell for money mainly depended on the Black Little Bee's honey.
During this process, Qi Ping carefully observed the state of every plant, watering, fertilizing, and pruning.
After being busy like this for half a day, Qi Ping's mood gradually calmed down.
Besides this, perhaps due to Qi Ping's state of mind, messages about gaining experience would pop up from time to time:
You have gained new insights into plants, Druid experience +1…
You have gained new insights into plants, Druid experience +1…
The error-free version is available at 6Ⅹ9ⅩBookⅩBar! 6Ⅹ9 Book Bar first published a novel. Read at 69 Book Bar.
You have gained new insights into plants, Druid experience +1…
In half a day, Qi Ping actually gained thirteen points of Rank experience!
If this speed continued, Qi Ping estimated that he would be able to upgrade to a Level Three Druid in less than half a month.
However, Qi Ping also knew that this was impossible. He had entered a special state of insight this time, which allowed him to gain thirteen points of Rank experience at once.
Under normal circumstances, gaining five points of experience a day would be very good; most of the time, it was only about three points.
"However, this also provides a way to quickly gain experience. I can try it more often in the future."
After Lin Chaoyang left, Qi Ping returned to his peaceful farming life.
A week later, the Gold Marrow Bee King laid about two hundred High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee eggs and fifty Brewer Big Belly Bee eggs; some had already hatched into larvae and were being fed with the best honey.
The production and cultivation difficulty of these two Bee species were much higher than ordinary Gold Marrow Bee; unlike ordinary Gold Marrow Bee, which could produce two hundred eggs a day at the fastest.
Black Little Bee could exceed five hundred.
It was estimated that as the Bloodline Rank increased, the difficulty of gestation would also gradually increase.
In addition, since Qi Ping did not need to refine golden marrow honey during the stable cultivation stage, apart from the portion the Gold Marrow Bee themselves needed to consume and a small portion consumed by Old Zhou, Qi Ping also began to have a surplus of golden marrow honey.
Aside from a portion of this honey that Qi Ping intended to give to Nan Jie, he had no plans to sell the rest. Instead, he planned to accumulate it for emergency troop deployment.
Because once troops were deployed, the consumption for cultivating Gold Marrow Bee and their daily food intake would inevitably be a terrifying number, which his Plant Growth skill alone would find difficult to supply.
This was also the reason why Qi Ping had not significantly increased the number of Gold Marrow Bee, because once the number of Bees increased, the daily honey consumption would make his heart ache…
Raising troops is not easy!
However, Qi Ping's steady development life was soon disrupted again.
On this day, Nan Jie came to Qi Ping with bad news:
Lin Chaoyang died in the Secret Realm!
Even more chilling was that various terrifying Demon Insects emerged from the Secret Realm and began to wreak havoc across the entire Qingtian Domain.
