Chapter 99 - Chapter 99: Druid Upgrade

"With the Heaven and Earth Blessing Talent, Nature Affinity Talent, and Yang Fire Body, if I add a Divine Soul or Comprehension Talent to these, comprehending the True Meaning of Fire should be no problem."

"Especially now that I have already comprehended some of the True Meaning of Fire, I am no longer clueless."

Those who comprehended Sword Intent or the True Meaning of Fire are extremely rare even in cultivation Sects brimming with Geniuses.

Therefore, the difficulty of comprehending before Foundation Establishment is extremely high, so high that most people would rather fight tooth and nail for a foundation establishment pill than attempt to comprehend the True Meaning of Law.

Perhaps many people had tried to comprehend it, but ultimately, they despairingly embarked on the path of competing for a foundation establishment pill.

This path was even so difficult that Qi Ping subconsciously wouldn't actively consider it; it was only after sensing Lin Qingshu's Sword Intent that he realized he had unexpectedly stepped into the True Meaning of Law!

"It's confirmed, I now have the opportunity. I must walk the path of True Meaning Foundation Establishment, whether for stronger combat power or a more solid Foundation!"

"To be safe, I will contract another Animal Companion with Divine Soul or Comprehension Talent. Gaining another Divine Soul or Comprehension Talent will give me absolute certainty."

Comprehension Talents are self-evident; those who can comprehend the True Meaning of Law before the Qi Refinement Stage are generally individuals with extraordinary Comprehension Ability.

Divine Soul Talents also have a similar effect; the stronger one's Divine Soul, the more one can perceive the existence of the True Meaning of Law. This is also why many Cultivators gradually begin to comprehend the True Meaning of Law after reaching the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

"Then, from now on, I will earn Spirit Stones while inquiring about information on Divine Soul or Comprehension-type Spirit Beasts in Qing Shi County."

"That Phantom Moon White Fox is good, but if there's something better, I should naturally choose one with better bloodline potential, similar to Crow. As long as there are sufficiently strong fire-attribute Spirit Objects, the probability of continued transformation and Awakening is high."

As long as Qi Ping is given Spirit Land and Spirit Seeds, what he lacks least are powerful fire-attribute Spirit Medicine.

"Or perhaps I can choose to visit Meng Yan once?"

For this Inner Sect Disciple who has the background of a Qingyuan Sect Elder and is also an Artifact Refiner with extensive connections, inquiring about a Divine Soul-type Spirit Beast should be no problem at all.

Moreover, Qi Ping had specifically asked Crow about Meng Yan's character and deeds once. The answer he received from Crow was that his character was indeed good, and he didn't act one way in front of people and another behind their backs, essentially proving that he could be initially trusted.

"However, how to get him to willingly help is a problem."

No matter what, since there is an opportunity to use this channel and connections, Qi Ping must utilize them for his cultivation path.

Even if it means spending a few more Spirit Stones, it doesn't matter.

Having determined the next steps, Qi Ping calmly continued to accelerate the cultivation of blood ginseng.

At the same time, he remained vigilant. As soon as anyone came looking for trouble because of the two white-clothed individuals, Qi Ping would immediately transform into a Bee to prepare for escape.

Fortunately, after several days passed, there were no signs of anyone coming to his door, which made Qi Ping secretly breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed Lin Qingshu had handled all the trouble.

After all, Qi Ping was still an inconspicuous Bee-keeping Loose Cultivator on the surface, and generally, no one would target him.

However, the most important thing for Qi Ping these past few days was attempting to comprehend the True Meaning of Fire. After all, this was the Foundation of his cultivation path. It was fine if the Bee Swarm's numbers grew a bit slower now, but Qi Ping absolutely had to comprehend the True Meaning of Fire.

Therefore, during these days, when Qi Ping Cultivated the Wood Flame Art, he would diligently recall and comprehend the special fire Concept between Heaven and Earth.

When cultivating Fire Spirit Grass, he would also comprehend the special fire-attribute energy within it.

Qi Ping would occasionally even ask Crow to summon some Yang Fire Flame for him to comprehend and refine.

However, the effects of these actions were not very significant.

Although Qi Ping felt that his comprehension and understanding of fire-attribute energy were increasing, he still had no clue about the crucial points of the True Meaning of Fire. It could only be said that the difficulty of comprehending the True Meaning of Law was not exaggerated in the slightest.

However, Qi Ping was not discouraged by this.

Because he had long since prepared himself mentally for the difficulty of comprehending the True Meaning of Fire, and had never thought of comprehending it so easily.

During this period, his comprehension of Fire Spirit Grass, Yang Fire Flame, the Wood Flame Art, and the fire-attribute energy between Heaven and Earth were all just accumulations for his future Epiphany and comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire.

Through these efforts, Qi Ping genuinely gained many insights into fire-attribute energy in his mind.

He believed that if he continued to accumulate like this, he would eventually be able to comprehend the True Meaning of Fire.

Qi Ping also didn't forget his Heaven and Earth Blessing Talent, which increased his chances of an Epiphany.

Therefore, as long as he focused on accumulation now, he would definitely be able to have an Epiphany of the True Meaning of Fire one day in the future.

Especially if he were to share a Divine Soul Talent or Comprehension Talent from an Animal Companion, perhaps when his mind became clear, it would be the moment of his Epiphany of the True Meaning of Fire.

But the premise for this was that he needed sufficient accumulation. Only if Qi Ping accumulated and comprehended enough in his daily life could he build up enough Foundation for future Epiphanies.

Many times, this is how gradual accumulation leads to a breakthrough.

For instance, Qi Ping's impression of Lin Qingshu was that she was a single-minded individual, likely very focused and persistent in her sword practice. For such a person, it wouldn't be surprising to have an Epiphany of Sword Intent in a life-or-death situation.

The comprehension of Sword Intent also particularly values mindset, and the boundary between life and death is the best time to witness one's true Heart-Nature and improve one's Heart-Nature.

However, for things like the True Meaning of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth Law, the requirement for Heart-Nature is not as high. It places more emphasis on the comprehension and understanding of the Law itself, which is also more suitable for Qi Ping's personality and approach.

Qi Ping still very much enjoyed quietly researching and utilizing the fundamental essence of Heaven and Earth's Laws.

While Qi Ping was engrossed in researching the True Meaning of Fire, time passed quickly.

Unknowingly, it was time for the first batch of hundred spirit grass to mature.

However, because most of it needed to be combined with various pollen Spirit Objects found by Bees throughout the mountains to brew into Bee rations, there wasn't much Yun Ling Fruit from the first batch that could be used to brew essence nurturing honey for sale.

Qi Ping also gradually discovered an advantage here: it was located deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and most areas were untouched by Cultivators. Therefore, he could confidently let his Honeybees search for various pollen and Spirit Objects that could serve as rations.

Some Bees even discovered a few small Spirit Lands within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Although they couldn't even be considered low-Rank First-Tier Spirit Lands, their advantage was that they didn't require rent, were hidden, and could still grow a few or a dozen hundred spirit grass.

So Qi Ping gave some hundred spirit grass seeds to the Honeybees to plant, which would be good for increasing their rations.

During this period, Qi Ping also took the time to visit Nan Jie and purchased over forty Spirit Stones worth of Yun Ling Fruit from her.

And just as Qi Ping was about to harvest the first batch of hundred spirit grass, something that made him particularly happy happened.

His Druid Level rose to Rank Four!
