A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 384 - 345: Great Spirit Insect King Body

Above a stretch of Spiritual Land in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range’s Zone A.

Because Qi Ping had already completed the restructuring of the spirit veins throughout the Qingtian Realm, under the powerful influence of the earth veins, the spirit veins of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range had also evolved into Tier Two spirit veins, and they were among the better ones at that.

The areas considered Spirit Fields within the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range had increased tenfold.

The leasing rights to these spirit veins had long since been reclaimed by Cyan Origin Academy, where Lin Yue rearranged and re-priced them more reasonably, with all proceeds naturally going back to Cyan Origin Academy.

During this process, Qi Ping secured two fine Tier Two Spirit Fields for Old Man Zhou and Sister Nan, boasting first-rate size and richness of Spiritual Qi.

Currently, Old Man Zhou was raising a swarm of high-level Tier Two Tri-Colored Bees and had already formed a pact with the Bee King. This species of bee was outstanding in both honey production and combat power. Coupled with the old black bees and green Nu bees that Old Man Zhou had always raised, his hill had now become the premium site for beekeeping in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Old Man Zhou was now one of the preeminent beekeepers in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

The only thing that made Qi Ping feel a bit melancholic was that the original swarm of small black bees that had been with him since he entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm no longer contained any bees he recognized. Those familiar small black bees that once knew him had died of old age long ago.

In a certain sense, Immortal Cultivation is a process where family, friends, and confidants gradually vanish.

Fortunately, Qi Ping was lucky. The Druid granted him the ability to transform and enhance his home, and the capacity to produce resources in abundance. Especially with the Animal Companions, the Golden Marrow Bees, which enabled Qi Ping to create countless honey formulas. With these assets, many of Qi Ping’s friends could follow in his footsteps.

Old Man Zhou, Sister Nan, Meng Yan, Zhang Daniu, Han Li... all those who had assisted Qi Ping during his growth had, with his aid, pushed past their original limits to reach greater heights.

The saying "When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" found its best illustration at this moment.

However, many old friends had already passed away, such as Brother Wang Mountain, Fatty Zhou... who had long turned to dust under the passage of time.

...

What pleased Qi Ping the most was that while Old Man Zhou’s talent in Spirit Root wasn’t exceptional, his Comprehension Talent was really remarkable.

Not only did he attain Dao Heart, but his progress beyond Dao Heart insight was swift, and his speed of understanding Cultivation Techniques was also quite commendable. It was no wonder that when Qi Ping first entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm, he found Qi Ping’s comprehension so disappointing, because compared to his own comprehension, Qi Ping’s could be considered as dense as wood.

Thanks to this foundation and the aid of various Spiritual Medicines that enhanced physical and soul talents, Old Man Zhou had now broken through to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

With the breakthrough in cultivation and the replenishment of his body’s deficiencies, Old Man Zhou’s physical vitality gradually restored, even though he appeared just as aged outwardly.

Having regained lifespan and physical health, Old Man Zhou returned to the world with a broad-minded attitude, and his interpersonal skills had once again connected him with many friends. His honey business was booming, and he was considered one of the well-known figures in Qingshi County.

In this aspect, Qi Ping provided little assistance; it was all Old Man Zhou’s own doing.

Qi Ping watched as Old Man Zhou engaged with the world anew, establishing his own career and friendships, with his state of mind continually improving...

Qi Ping was genuinely gratified to see this, for Old Man Zhou’s exceptional comprehension in Dao Heart essentially meant that his path of cultivation would be much smoother. While Qi Ping could aid in Spirit, Comprehension, and Cultivation Techniques, Dao Heart was something Old Man Zhou had to cultivate alone; even if Qi Ping reached Mahayana, he could not assist him in cultivating Dao Heart.

Additionally, Old Man Zhou forming his own circle meant Qi Ping was more at ease, considering he now might seclude himself for decades, having less time and energy to accompany Old Man Zhou. In an arrangement like this, things were very well.

What surprised Qi Ping a bit was that after so much time, despite becoming the master of the Qingtian Realm, he still had not found any information about Old Man Zhou’s former disciple. Even with Lin Yue’s intelligence-gathering prowess, no relevant information had been uncovered, as if the person had vanished from the world.

Qi Ping also inquired with Old Man Zhou, who said he hadn’t received any news of that disciple for a long time.

However, Qi Ping wasn’t concerned about this; Old Man Zhou was doing well now and was not bothered by it anymore. Moreover, within the Qingtian Realm, unless an extremely powerful cultivator descended, Qi Ping was practically invincible.

It’s also worth noting that the old spirit animal Qi Ping obtained in Starfall City had long since become Old Man Zhou’s Pet Beast after dissolving the pact with Qi Ping. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

When Qi Ping suggested that Old Man Zhou may form a pact with a spirit beast, Old Man Zhou agreed without much thought.

Yet when Qi Ping released the Golden Core Level old spirit animal, Old Man Zhou was utterly bewildered. What’s this? A Golden Core Level spirit beast!

You’re saying the spirit beast is Golden Core Level?

Only after seeing Qi Ping’s affirming nod did he have to accept this was the reality.

For in Old Man Zhou’s worldview, Foundation Establishment was already quite accomplished, and suddenly encountering a Golden Core Level beast, not fainting was already an achievement.
