As the special energy for plant growth slowly entered the body of the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon, Qi Ping's heart also grew a bit apprehensive.

"I hope it works!"

If plant growth can accelerate the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon's development, it will be much simpler to cultivate it in the future.

Otherwise, if relying solely on those precious divine soul spiritual objects, the difficulty of cultivation will rise by more than one level.

The main concern is that the spiritual intelligence of the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon doesn't seem to be fully awakened yet. Before it truly awakens, Qi Ping cannot complete the contract ritual with it.

"But the awakening of its spiritual intelligence should be soon... Now I just hope that plant growth can speed up the formation of the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon..."

Under Qi Ping's expectant gaze, the body of the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon noticeably strengthened under the influence of the special energy from plant growth.

"It works!"

Seeing this scene, Qi Ping felt a rush of joy.

After confirming that plant growth was beneficial to the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon, Qi Ping continued to employ plant growth, constantly channeling the special energy into the flower demon's body.

The Hundred Eyes Flower Demon, upon sensing the energy from plant growth, also began to actively absorb it.

With the help of this special energy, it started to grow rapidly.

Seeing this, Qi Ping did not stop for a moment, continuously implementing plant growth.

"After sharing the Enchantment God Seal talent from the little spirit fox, the number of times I can perform plant growth has more than doubled..."

"And as I continue to hone it, I'm sure it can improve significantly further."

"It's such a pity that without a divine soul type cultivation technique, I can't fully unleash the gift of the Enchantment God Seal..."

...

The path of the Immortal Dao is not easy. For now, what Qi Ping can do is try to make the best use of the resources he has, elevate his strength first, and then gradually find ways to obtain the necessary cultivation techniques and resources.

Over this period, as he came into contact with more advanced elements, Qi Ping gradually figured out a crucial point.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, cultivation techniques, resources, spiritual land, or treasures to enhance spiritual land are all controlled by the top powers. Cyan Origin Sect is merely the beginning.

In seeking these resources, Qi Ping slowly realized that what he needs to do is manage his spiritual land low-key and earn spirit stones steadily.

He must find ways to procure the resources and cultivation knowledge he needs without drawing attention.

Killing and looting, secret realm ruins and such are ultimately not the right path and bear too much risk.

Maintaining low-key management of his own domain, quietly exchanging with various sects and individuals in the Immortal Cultivation Realm for the resources and cultivation techniques he needs is the best choice for Qi Ping.

During this time of understanding the Sect, Qi Ping increasingly felt that the Sect is not something he can maneuver around, and the risk is exceedingly high.

Because, in each long-standing Sect, the internal factions are entangled, much like the current situation in Cyan Origin Sect. Without any background, disciples are typically sent to the most dangerous areas to carry out tasks...

According to Meng Yan, the number of disciples who died in Cyan Origin Sect in the past half a year is enormous, and if it weren't for the protection of a master, he could also have fallen.

For instance, the senior brother who sold the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon was forced to sell it and other precious items for survival.

Why join a sect like that!

Qi Ping estimated that other sects are probably similar to this.

Remember how well Cyan Origin Sect managed its industries before, and now it's being slowly edged into a corner, unable to even protect its own disciples.

Qi Ping doesn't want to join a sect only to become a discardable piece, unable to even protect his own life.

Of course, during this time, Qi Ping figured out an even more important issue—the secrets and anomalies on his body are too numerous!

Once he joins a sect, can he confidently practice and work under the eyes of cultivators at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages?

No!

Not a bit of confidence!

If those Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivators harbored ill intent, Qi Ping might have a chance to escape in the woods, but within the sect, he would have no choice but to wait for death!

There's no chance of escape!

Qi Ping has read multiple examples of similar cases in various Chronicles of Strange Cultivation Affairs, where great cultivators secretly plundered their disciples' fortunes. It was not uncommon, just done very discreetly!

Some sects even specifically target disciples with low talent but rapidly advancing cultivation.

If there is no reasonable explanation, they simply seize those individuals!

After all, if a disciple with poor talent can soar after getting a fortunate opportunity, wouldn't it be better for this opportunity to benefit themselves or a talented younger disciple?

Every time Qi Ping reads such stories, he recalls those novel scenes in sects where characters overcome adversity and face slaps, feeling so awkward he wants to dig a hole and hide.

It seems cool, but it's a sure path to self-destruction!

Really think the high ranks of the sect will say: "This disciple has extraordinary talent and fortune, we must pour resources into them and cultivate them vigorously!"

In reality, many sect leaders would think: "How did this rubbish talent disciple cultivate to this stage? Could it be an incredible opportunity? Heaven indeed assists me! This opportunity was meant to be discovered by me..."

The more arrogance is displayed, the quicker the demise!

Really think those old fellows who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years are fools!?

Some of these old folks particularly enjoy observing disciples' fortunes; disciples are merely fortune harvesting devices to them.

Sure, there are definitely good sects and good masters, but Cyan Origin Sect clearly isn't one, and Qi Ping isn't confident he can avoid the cunning traps of those sly foxes...

Especially for someone like Qi Ping, whose talent often changes—it's simply a walking target of envy, showing even slight anormaly is the path to doom!

Can those old monsters limited by their talent but unable to advance further resist when they see Qi Ping's ever-increasing talent?

Not to exaggerate, but at least half would secretly want to capture and dissect Qi Ping for research...

Qi Ping admits some sects aren't bad, but that's aimed at normally talented disciples. For someone like Qi Ping, most old monsters might as well intend to soul search or dissect him.

After figuring out these issues, Qi Ping resolved to live in the forest to survive in the future.

Here, he can flee at any time, and if aided by arrays, it would be even better...

The forest domain is the most suitable path for him!

And he plans to only get acquainted with those he can handle during external trades...

...

With Qi Ping's continuous full-force cultivation over two days, the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon finally reached the critical point of its transformation: a green energy cocoon, marked with peculiar eye-like patterns, gradually enveloped the flower demon...

The Hundred Eyes Flower Demon no longer absorbed Qi Ping's plant growth energy.

Two days later, Qi Ping, immersed in his cultivation, was awoken by a burst of noise.

Soon after, Qi Ping saw a sprite-like figure emerging from the energy cocoon...
