A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 434: Chapter 373: The Way of Honey, Turmoil in the Forest Sea Demon Realm (2)

"Buzz buzz... (Alright, boss!)"

The thirty-six Divinity Transformation Bees below responded, then began to test their transformed powers:

The Spatial Attribute bees stirred up the Power of Void and flapped their wings to create Spatial Blades in front of them. Following that, they tore open a space rift and darted inside...

The Life Attribute bees emanated a mysterious and vast life aura, coupled with terrifying Divine Soul and physical defense, making it impossible for any ordinary enemy to kill bees with such overwhelming life force.

The Fire Attribute bees also erupted, unleashing flames fierce enough to distort the void!

.....

Each Divinity Transformation Bee displayed a staggering power, except for the five Balanced Bees that preserved the purest bloodline of the Golden Marrow Bee, whose overall enhancement was considerably lower compared to bees of other attributes. Nevertheless, their strength was still significantly elevated compared to the Nascent Soul level Balanced Bees.

This was within Qi Ping’s expectations, as the Balanced Bees’ greatest advantage lies in their ever-growing Power of Bloodline.

"Very good!"

"With five Balanced Bees, once they devour the Power of Bloodline from other attributes, and the Golden Marrow Bee King advances to late-stage Divinity Transformation, the true potential of the Balanced Bees will explode..."

As the Balanced Bees completely fuse with the Yin Yang Five Elements Attribute, then use this as a foundation to merge with space, life, death...

Qi Ping found it hard to imagine what degree of might the Balanced Bees in their state of great success would achieve.

Moreover, once they reach this state, the Balanced Bees would find it much easier to devour Void Refining level bloodlines.

In the following time, Qi Ping carefully studied the state and abilities of each Divinity Transformation Bee, discovering that their transformation states and abilities were indeed excellent. Although a few were not particularly outstanding overall, they were still quite good.

Subsequently, using his current cultivation knowledge and previous suggestions from the Eight-winged Pi Immortal predecessor, along with these Divinity Transformation Bees’ own characteristics and their fusion compatibility with other bees’ abilities, he eliminated most and ultimately decided on nine bloodlines for fusion.

These included one from each attribute: yin and yang, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, space, life, death.

Namely, the Profound Yang Bee, Profound Yin Bee, Red Gold Bee, Cyan Emperor Bee, Jade Sea Bee, Heaven-Burning Bee, Dragon Vein Bee, Void Bee, Creation Spirit Bee, Bone-Eroding Bee!

The ten Divinity Transformation level Spirit Bees were all meticulously selected by Qi Ping, with each possessing astonishing power!

Even a single one would be enough to make a legendary Insect-Controlling Cultivator renowned in the Immortal Cultivation Realm!

"Next, we’ll wait for the Balanced Bees to completely merge with these ten bloodlines!"

It’s not that Qi Ping didn’t want to merge more; individual strength is limited, and merging too many and too varied bloodlines may not necessarily be beneficial for the Balanced Bees.

Among these ten bloodlines, Qi Ping planned for the Balanced Bees to primarily merge with the Yin Yang Five Elements Attribute and Spatial Attribute early on. The Life Attribute would follow later, and the Death Attribute would be saved for last. If the merging shows signs of being unfavorable, Qi Ping would immediately cease the process.

His confidence lies only in the Yin Yang Five Elements and Space Attribute, as these are already part of his cultivation.

The Life Attribute, serving as the foundation for the flesh and Divine Soul, has a natural affinity with all blood and flesh beings.

Only the last Death Attribute is something Qi Ping has no assurance in; it’s merely an experiment. Failure would not matter much, but if successful, having this attribute would elevate the bees’ bloodline maximum to a horrifying level.

.....

After confirming the direction of the Balanced Bee’s bloodline transformation, Qi Ping was in good spirits.

However, he had a more important task to complete: army buildup!

"I’m placing the resources here. We will soon face a tough battle. We must cultivate these nine kinds of Divinity Transformation Spirit Bees at the fastest speed, and I leave this hard task to you!"

Qi Ping looked at the Golden Marrow Bee King, pointing to the mountain of various rare resources beside him.

These were the resources he had recently collected; those collected earlier had long been brewed into honey suitable for nurturing bee colonies, so the preliminary work for army buildup had already been thoroughly prepared.

"Buzz buzz... (Leave it to me, boss! I’ll deliver you the strongest troop in the shortest time possible!)"

"I trust you to handle it!"

Qi Ping was highly impressed with the capabilities of the Golden Marrow Bee King, effectively his chief steward of the territory.

After instructing over all matters, Qi Ping tore open a space rift, leaving the Natural Sanctuary and returning to the Cyan Origin Mountain Range. The Spiritual Qi generated within the sanctuary was all being used to explode resources; his own cultivation and spiritual medicine cultivation absorbed from the Spirit Vein in the Qingtian Realm, which was about to advance to Tier Five, converging the will and spirituality of all beings.

.....

Upon returning to the Cyan Origin Mountain Range, Lin Yue immediately approached Qi Ping to report the recent situation.

"Dean, that mysterious person who hoped to defect to us contacted me again and delivered the resources and Cultivation Techniques and Spells promised last time..."

Lin Yue said as he respectfully handed Qi Ping a high-grade Storage Ring.

The Storage Ring even had Void Refining level restrictions, which couldn’t be opened without Void Refining level strength.

Qi Ping said nothing about this, lightly tapped his finger, and the Void Refining level restriction broke like a bubble.

Seeing this, Lin Yue’s pupils shrunk, his heart wildly shaken!

This was a Void Refining level restriction! How could it break like piercing a bubble in this bee dean’s hands? It’s ridiculously perverse!

"The dean’s strength is growing increasingly unfathomable!" Lin Yue praised internally.

Once Qi Ping opened the Storage Ring, his Divine Sense swept across, and the dazzling array of rare treasures and exceptional Cultivation Techniques filled Qi Ping’s view.

"That’s quite a grand gesture!" Even Qi Ping, considering his wealth and composure, couldn’t help being shocked by the lavishness on display.

Inside, there were even two Void Refining level demon insect corpses!

The various types of Magic knowledge, Spatial Techniques, Alchemy Knowledge... were too numerous to count, including Divinity Transformation level ones and Void Refining level ones!

As the saying goes, accepting gifts obliges one. With these vast resources delivered, all matching his current needs, Qi Ping’s impression of these people improved significantly.

This generous gift indeed reached his heart!

Considering Qi Ping’s expression, Lin Yue quickly realized the value of the items inside. Since anything that moved the dean must be extraordinary.

Qi Ping wasn’t secretive. He directly tossed the ring to Lin Yue, suggesting he take a look.

As Lin Yue’s Divine Sense entered, his expression instantly froze, eyes widening like brass bells.

Despite his vast knowledge, he was struck speechless.

Qi Ping ignored Lin Yue’s lapse and asked:

"Did they say anything when delivering it?"

Hearing Qi Ping’s inquiry, Lin Yue quickly recovered from his shock and replied:

"To the dean, they mentioned the recent movements of those outside the domain, stating they’ve mostly completed combat preparations, including formations and elixir readiness."

"Additionally, the mysterious cultivator from Celestial Dragon Continent recently demanded control rights over the Profound Celestial Array held by the Star Sea Alliance. However, the Profound Celestial Array is the final foundation of the Star Sea Continent, raising opposition from most of its factions. Yet, recently, some individuals have been persuaded by unknown means..."

"Lastly, some people detected aberrations in demonic qi, with suspicious movements occurring in the Forest Sea Demon Realm lately. Thus, they suspect actions from the Celestial Dragon Continent cultivator may be quite substantial..."

.....

"Demon race aside, even the monster tribe has involved themselves?" Upon hearing this, Qi Ping couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

The strength of the Forest Sea Demon Realm now far exceeds that of Star Sea Continent. Should they involve themselves, the consequences would be unpredictable.

With so many enemies, Qi Ping worried that even with his cultivated bee colony, it might not suffice.

"Yes, that’s what they said, also mentioning some confidential matters they only wish to discuss with you, dean..."

"Then arrange a meeting opportunity with them, just so I can judge what medicine they prescribe; whether they truly aim to protect their homeland or are playing some deceitful game!"
