A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 406 - 357: Qingtian’s Transformation (Part 2)
At the Cloud Mist Marketplace, Qi Ping seemed to see a reflection of his past self in this group of people.
On a whim, Qi Ping considered himself a Spirit Farmer, purchasing many things he once wanted but couldn’t afford due to financial constraints.
Such as those seemingly odd yet potentially mystical items with possible mysterious inheritances.
After all, who doesn’t dream of stumbling upon a Supreme Treasure by sheer luck?
However, Qi Ping naturally no longer harbors such unrealistic thoughts; now, he merely wants to do what he longed for in his youth but never did.
"This behavior feels somewhat like being trapped for a lifetime by what was unattainable in one’s youth?"
Though Qi Ping no longer felt that youthful yearning, an indescribable feeling and pleasure seemed to arise within him.
Amid this transformation in mindset, he appeared to grasp a hint of the Divinity Transformation...
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, to increase the probability of reaching Divinity Transformation, one must elevate their Dao Heart to the Fourth Realm, or risk being overwhelmed or dying during the breakthrough by the Extraordinary Power of the Divinity Transformation Level.
Qi Ping’s Dao Heart First Realm is the Farming Realm, aimed at peacefully cultivating to immortality.
The Second Realm is the Power of Slaughter, born out of his zealous defense of home against the Immortal Alliance.
The Third Realm, Eternal Time, emerged from Qi Ping’s insights through memories of the Spirit of Mountains and Rivers, witnessing countless rises and falls of beings.
Now, after more than a century, Qi Ping finally, through this journey as a Loose Cultivator, traversed his old paths again and vaguely captured insights into the Fourth Realm.
The Divinity Transformation Dao Heart is not far off!
However, there remains a gap; what is Divinity Transformation?
Upon entering Divinity Transformation, one’s Dao Fruit undergoes transformation, and all past accumulations of rise and fall will fully blossom at this moment...
"I’ll reconsider after reaching Nascent Soul Perfection and completing the Five Elements Body!"
"Only by achieving Perfection can one forge a true path to Divinity Transformation..."
Yet, reaching this point today, Qi Ping has gained greater confidence in his path to Divinity Transformation and sensed that his journey might be much more unique than the usual cultivator...
...
"Hmm? What’s this?"
While experiencing his youthful mindset, Qi Ping was suddenly struck by an item at a stall.
"Isn’t this similar to the cloth wrapping of the Yellow Springs Wood seed back then?"
Qi Ping picked up a piece of tattered cloth from the stall and carefully examined it to discern its peculiarities.
Had he not seen such special fabric before, it might have gone unnoticed by him too!
This was indeed alarming!
You must know that he is now an Earth Immortal Druid!
Yet something was still able to hide from his perception under his very feet?
"Could the appearance of the Yellow Springs Tree, this Marvelous Wood of Heaven and Earth, not be a mere coincidence? Is there another hidden story?"
After a moment of contemplation, Qi Ping still couldn’t figure out an answer.
Nevertheless, as the Yellow Springs Tree is now his Lifebound Spirit Tree through a Life Contract, it concerns his very life, leaving him no choice but to pay heed.
"It seems I should pay more attention to news regarding the Yellow Springs Tree in the future!"
Such a special existence rumored to connect with the Netherworld may still hide undisclosed secrets.
Just then, a particular Spiritual Mechanism arose within Qi Ping’s heart, a sensation seemingly connecting him to heaven and earth—Yellow Springs Tree completed, Netherworld reopened...
Perhaps it might not be such a bad thing...
"Young hero? Have you found something you like?" the stall owner asked expectantly, seeing Qi Ping ponder over their goods for quite some time.
"Hmm... how much are these?"
After a pause, Qi Ping pointed to seven or so items, including the piece of tattered cloth, and asked.
"Young hero, you have a keen eye! These items all originate from various ruins. If you take them all, how about seventy-nine lower-grade Spirit Stones?"
"Seventy-nine lower-grade Spirit Stones?" Qi Ping pretended to ponder.
"Young hero, seventy-nine Spirit Stones is already quite reasonable. I guarantee that these items are worth it..." the stall owner rambled on.
"Alright then, sounds good!"
Seeing the stall owner’s mouth getting dry, Qi Ping finally took out seventy-nine lower-grade Spirit Stones, completing the transaction.
Watching Qi Ping leave with the White Tiger, the stall owner secretly rejoiced, knowing he had made enough to last a while!
Also, he had saved a bit more for the child in his wife’s womb!
However, he indeed did honest business; these items truly came from various-sized ruins, and people have indeed discovered treasures from them, though the probability was far below one in a thousand...
"Young and inexperienced lad, I wish you good fortune!" The stall owner inwardly blessed this young lad with the White Tiger.
He really wasn’t a swindler, just making a living with hard-earned money!
"With Heaven as my witness and Bee Daoist senior watching over, please don’t diminish my child’s fortune and blessings!"
Unbeknownst to him, after the seemingly naive young lad left, favor from the Mountain and River’s Favor fell upon him...
...
Leaving the Cloud Mist Marketplace, trekking along a forest path in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Qi Ping glanced at the rag associated with the Yellow Springs Wood in his hand, a faint trace of joy on his face.
Such a huge stroke of luck!
"Who would have thought that a whimsical outing would lead to such a lucky find, yielding something extraordinary!"
An item of Marvelous Wood of Heaven and Earth level, something even Qi Ping’s current status would need fortune to obtain, unlike typical Golden Core or Nascent Soul Treasures.
Does it make up for a youthful regret?
"Once I tell Old Zhou about this, it’ll be a solid slap in his face, haha!"
Qi Ping vividly remembered Old Zhou teasing him back in the day.
After storing the piece of tattered cloth, Qi Ping refocused his attention on the Spirit Woods that had developed Spirituality.
Many Spirit Woods possessing Spirituality have indeed emerged over the past five years.
On this journey alone, he’d seen no less than twenty!
The area Qi Ping traveled is far less than one percent!
In just five years, the potential of Qi Ping’s Spirit Wood industry development plan began to show, yielding countless Spirit Woods with tremendous potential.
Such Spirit Woods hosting Spirituality, all of which hold the potential to become Tree-men Warriors!
Given enough time and Spiritual Qi, there is even a chance of becoming Spirit Monsters!
Currently, the Qingtian Realm’s special Spiritual Woods certainly hold the Star Sea Continent’s utmost prominence!
"Little Immortal Tiger, is the Spirit Wood with the highest potential located on that mountain ahead?"
Qi Ping pointed at a peak filled with various Spirit Woods. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Awoo... (Yes boss, and it has quite a background!)"
"Awoo... (If not for the boss’s protective fortune, without malice, the Celestial Secret Retribution alone would be too much for me!)"
Recalling its previous divination and calculations, Little Immortal Tiger couldn’t help feeling a lingering fear.
It rivaled seeing Yaya sitting majestically on her throne!
Had these calculations not been related to Qi Ping, even the Celestial Secret Retribution would have been beyond its endurance.
It’s not because the tiger isn’t formidable, but rather Qi Ping-related matters are overwhelmingly unique!
In contrast, determining information on the group of Nascent Soul Golden Core cultivators was a walk in the park back then!
"Awoo... (Boss, what do you think could provoke such a strong Celestial Secret Retribution?)"
Little Immortal Tiger’s chubby face was full of curiosity.
"Let’s go see it to find out!" Qi Ping appeared composed in response.
This scale of Spirit Wood industry development inherently made the emergence of some Spirit Woods with tremendous potential a high-likelihood occurrence.
Yet, as he approached that mountain peak, a look of surprise emerged on Qi Ping’s face; the busy silhouette on the mountain was someone he recognized.
"Isn’t this the little guy Old Zhou picked up a few years ago?"
Could Old Zhou be exclusively picking those favored by fortune?
