A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 298 - 296: Consecutive Gains! Molten Beast!
As Qi Ping continued to explore the underworld, he quickly discovered many treasures.
Tier Two Intermediate Spiritual Object Earth Core Milk, Tier Two High-Level Mineral Jade Water Pure Gold, Tier Two High-Level Red Fire Elemental Copper, Tier Two Low-Level Evergreen Stone Milk...
"Wow! There are so many Tier Two Spiritual Objects here!"
After a week of searching, Qi Ping found numerous rare and valuable Tier Two Spiritual Objects that are hard to come by outside.
Even more of them were Tier One Spiritual Objects!
Qi Ping collected only the Tier Two Spiritual Objects and a portion of the larger quantity Tier One Spiritual Objects. All of them remained unrooted, ensuring that with time, these Spiritual Objects would gradually recover.
"Some of these Spiritual Objects can be used by the animal companions, some can be given to the bees for further honey research, and if I need Spirit Stones, I could sell off a portion of them..."
However, Qi Ping wasn’t particularly lacking in Spirit Stones at the moment. The total Spirit Stones and spoils he had, summed up, would probably amount to about ten million Spirit Stones; Qi Ping was truly in dire need of items like Black Market Points or Contribution Points, which could hardly be purchased with Spirit Stones.
The most astounding find was when Qi Ping discovered a considerably massive Tier Two mineral vein deep in the underworld!
Although it’s Tier Two, due to its particularly large quantity, it’s enough for the Stone Spirit to gain significant growth. Qi Ping also instructed the Stone Spirit to refine and assimilate it but absolutely not to decimate it, as this place would be his own in the future, and he didn’t want to perform the extinction-kind of action.
"There are so many Spiritual Objects in the underworld!"
"I also have to thank the Stone Spirit because without it having advanced to Tier Three, many places would have been inaccessible."
However, aside from the Stone Spirit, even more crucial was the guidance of the little Immortal Tiger.
Because many Spiritual Objects that initially would have been missed were discovered only after the guidance of the little Immortal Tiger, otherwise they couldn’t have been found.
It must be said that the combination of the little Immortal Tiger and the Stone Spirit truly is the perfect pair for treasure hunting in the underworld!
What slightly disappointed Qi Ping was the absence of any signs of Tier Three Spiritual Objects or underground Spirit Veins, nor did he find any suitable Earth Attribute animal companions for a contract.
However, Qi Ping was not discouraged, maintaining an exceptionally positive outlook instead.
For the current area Qi Ping spent a week exploring didn’t even cover one percent of the Qingtian Realm!
Additionally, the exploration area of the underworld far exceeds that of the surface world!
Because the underworld not only spans the same surface area as the Qingtian Realm, but it also delves incredibly deep, making it challenging for even the Tier Three Stone Spirit to explore down to its limits.
Moreover, the mentioned limit is not the underworld’s limit but the limit of the Stone Spirit’s exploration, indicating the challenges of exploring the underworld. Without some strength, one isn’t even qualified to explore.
Knowing there’s still so much unexplored territory, Qi Ping wasn’t worried. Instead, he gleefully continued to explore.
Even if there’s nothing in the Qingtian Realm, the adjacent areas are also open for exploration!
"This feeling of exploring the world isn’t so bad, after all!"
His main body engaged in cultivation on his territory, while his Tree-man Avatar explored alongside the Stone Spirit and Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger. At this moment, Qi Ping was finally able to satisfy some of his wishes to explore the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
In the underworld, without powerful cultivators disturbing him, and with the premonition-capable little Immortal Tiger and the freely traversing Stone Spirit, this experience couldn’t be better.
Moreover, with the expansion of the exploration area and gaining insights into a more splendid Immortal Cultivation Realm, Qi Ping’s state of mind began to gradually elevate.
"From the current findings, exploring the underworld is still very worthwhile, but to explore larger areas, a substantial army of exploring animal companions capable of traveling through the underworld is needed!"
"The underworld now seems like a treasure vault not completely uncovered due to its high development difficulty. If I have enough strength, I could even set my sights beyond the Qingtian Realm to other neighboring Great Realms, even the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm!"
Given the vastness of the underworld, continuous exploration will undoubtedly lead to finding high-value items, even rare and unique Spiritual Objects!
...
With this mindset and thoughts, Qi Ping continued his exploration.
In the following explorations, much like before, there were also considerable gains.
After continuing like this for another two weeks, Qi Ping finally encountered something that might bring a surprise.
At this moment, Qi Ping, along with the Stone Spirit and Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger, was in a magma world located in a very deep part of the underworld.
Here, the magma rolled like waves, and the temperature was terrifyingly high. Qi Ping estimated that an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator probably wouldn’t survive long here.
Beside Qi Ping was a group of creatures exuding magma, resembling the Fire Cloud Lion. These creatures were the relatively rare Molten Beasts in the Immortal Cultivation Realm!
Molten Beasts are underground beings that at most can grow to Tier Three, but currently, the ones beside Qi Ping were only at Tier Two Mid Stage.
Qi Ping was being led by several Molten Beasts to their home territory.
The reason was that these simple-minded Molten Beasts, upon seeing Qi Ping, due to the Beast King Druid’s influence, felt particularly fond of him. After some communication, they revealed their current predicament.
The land where their spiritual object, the Magma Heart, was birthed, was invaded by a strangely cold entity that descended suddenly several hundred years ago. Ever since, the land has ceased to produce new Magma Hearts, and even the pure Fire Spirit Qi stopped being generated, causing their tribe’s power to diminish.
However, that strangely cold entity was too strong, and they couldn’t expel it despite losing many tribe members.
"Woo woo... (Honoured friend, follow me, we’re almost there!)"
Following alongside the Molten Beasts, Qi Ping soon arrived at a place resembling a magma vortex.
"Woo woo... (That’s the place!)"
"Magma Spiritual Spring?" Qi Ping looked at the vortex not far away and instantly recognized this Spiritual Land, indeed the birthplace of the Magma Heart.
However, the Magma Spiritual Spring was nearly extinguished now, with dense Extreme Yin Qi continuously emanating.
"Extreme Yin Qi? How could there be Extreme Yin Qi coming out of the Magma Spiritual Spring? And it can even extinguish the spring itself..."
Watching this scene, Qi Ping was filled with confusion.
But recalling the little Immortal Tiger’s reading, Qi Ping’s interest surged enormously.
"The omens are auspicious, and Extreme Yin Qi is just what I currently need to cultivate the Yellow Springs Tree with, but I wonder what it is!"
Carrying this curiosity, Qi Ping unhesitatingly flew towards it. As he approached the Spiritual Spring, the Fire Attribute Spiritual Power on him suddenly transformed into Yin Attribute Spiritual Power.
"Woo woo... (Be extra careful! If there’s danger, get out immediately!)"
Seeing Qi Ping enter, the Molten Beasts that came with him called out to his back. Their eyes carried both anticipation and a sense of worry for Qi Ping...
