"Ding ding... (Such pure spiritual energy!)" exclaimed the little stone spirit upon waking up.

Then it followed the spiritual energy to Qi Ping's side.

"Ding ding... (Boss! You actually brought back a spirit vein!)"

After seeing clearly what it was, the little stone spirit was shocked.

This is a spirit vein, after all, and in its inherited memory, spirit veins are rare in the current Immortal Cultivation Realm. Before having enough power, one absolutely cannot approach the core of a spirit vein.

Because almost all spirit veins are controlled, approaching them will attract enemies and lead to certain death!

The little stone spirit always remembered these things. It knew the benefits of being near a spirit vein were many, but for safety, it actively chose areas with thin spiritual energy. Yet, even in such a situation, it was found by an enemy, almost leading to its demise.

So, Qi Ping bringing back a spirit vein was naturally shocking for it!

"It was brought back not long ago, and it's still weak. I'll enhance it with heavenly and earthly spiritual objects over time..." Qi Ping replied.

"Ding ding... (Boss, you're amazing!)"

"Ding ding... (Can I sleep next to the spirit vein?)"

"Of course you can!" Qi Ping nodded affirmatively.

Once affirmed, the little stone spirit made no fuss and plopped down beside Qi Ping to sleep again.

Just as it was about to fall asleep, Qi Ping suddenly took out a seed and planted it next to it.

Originally, it didn't care, thinking Qi Ping was busy as usual. But then it suddenly sensed a fragrance from the Dark Iron Tree seed that was particularly alluring to it.

"Ding ding... (Boss, what's this thing?)"

"This is a seed of a Tier Three Intermediate Dark Iron Tree!"

"The Dark Iron Tree is a gold attribute iron tree-type spirit wood. During its growth, it emits a special force to convert surrounding soil and ore into Dark Iron, which should be quite beneficial to you!"

"Ding ding... (Then this Dark Iron must be delicious, right?)" Hearing Qi Ping's words, it suddenly became unusually excited.

So it's a foodie! Seeing this appearance of the little stone spirit, Qi Ping suddenly found it amusing.

It seemed this little guy didn't just like sleeping!

"You'll know after you try it, go on and sleep. I'll wake you when the Dark Iron Tree matures!"

"Ding ding... (Okay, boss! I'm going to sleep then!)"

Hearing Qi Ping's words, the little stone spirit contentedly fell asleep, quickly entering a slumbering state.

Seeing the little stone spirit asleep, Qi Ping planted the Dark Iron Tree seed beside it.

"I wonder if the intertwining forces of the Dark Iron Tree and the stone spirit, both producing unique ores, will create some unexpected effects?"

One is a Tier Three spiritual object, Dark Iron, and the other is the stone spirit's companion ore. Given the stone spirit's recent joyful state, there's a high likelihood of some favorable changes.

After planting the Dark Iron Tree, Qi Ping found places to plant the Fiery Sun Wood, Moonlight Tree, and Star Wood.

Having planted the seeds of four Tier Three spirit woods, Qi Ping used plant growth acceleration to hasten their growth.

[Druid Level Experience +1]

[Druid Level Experience +1]

"It's been a while since cultivating spirit plants, now the slowly increasing Druid Level experience can finally start moving!"

During this time, Qi Ping had been enhancing his Druid Level experience through comprehending nature and understanding the true meaning of the laws, but the growth rate was not as fast as cultivating and planting spirit trees.

Seeing the Druid Level experience accumulate rapidly, Qi Ping was very happy.

After cultivating for quite some time, and with the depletion of his power of divine soul and perception almost complete, Qi Ping moved on to other matters.

...

"The main goals coming up are to research spells suitable to imprint on the Tree Spirit Mark and continue studying arrays."

"Only by establishing the spirit vein and territory first can we support the nurturing of animal companions and the enhancement of my cultivation."

However, before that, Qi Ping had another important task to focus on, which was researching the methodology for nurturing pet beasts.

The little spirit fox and the three-colored deer are crucial for his enhancement in divine soul and comprehension talent, so training must start early.

Thus, Qi Ping immediately delved into the beast taming techniques and books obtained earlier.

This research didn't take Qi Ping much time; in just a couple of days, he had grasped most of the beast taming knowledge contained within.

Because the methods of establishing contracts weren't important to Qi Ping, he was more interested in the nurturing methods for pet beasts, particularly how to help them break through the barriers of the great realm.

"It turns out that the method for spirit beasts to break through is quite similar to that of humans. Besides ample and compatible resources, what matters most is the spirit beast's own comprehension and training."

"However, spirit beasts have a relatively certain method, which is to activate their bloodline power!"

According to the books, there are two ways for spirit beasts to activate their bloodline power: one is to activate it independently, and the other is to activate it using external items, with each spirit beast's needs for activation varying.

In terms of potential, at least half of the bloodline power activation should depend on the spirit beast itself. Overreliance on external items could deplete the spirit beast's inherent potential.

"So essentially, it still relies on the pet beast's own training and willpower, though there are many support methods, like using appropriate illusion techniques to train a spirit beast's will... but fundamentally, it depends on the pet beast itself."

After thinking this through, Qi Ping knew what to do next.

Among his animal companions, Yaya was the best template.

"Yaya's continuous comprehension and absorption of the Power of the Great Sun is essentially about accumulating power, awakening bloodline power, enhancing bloodline potential, comprehending and strengthening bloodline power, all while training to master these abilities..."

Qi Ping suddenly realized how Yaya was able to upgrade its bloodline grade and break through realms.

He now just needed to tailor the training plans based on the characteristics of the little flower demon, the little spirit fox, and the three-colored deer. He would then have the little spirit fox and the little flower demon use illusion techniques to train each other, as well as train the willpower of other animal companions.

The little spirit fox and the little flower demon training as opponents was most suitable, and Qi Ping could assist the three-colored deer with its comprehension of the Power of the Forest, or they could learn from each other.

Thus, Qi Ping formulated tailored training and growth plans for each animal companion based on his acquired beast taming knowledge.

He also taught Yaya the principles and some theoretical knowledge of these training methods, allowing Yaya to have a breakthrough realization, finding clearer direction and focus for future training and enhancement, and better understanding how to train to awaken and boost its bloodline power quickly.

[Boss! Yaya, I get it!]

Qi Ping didn't expect this action to significantly accelerate Yaya's promotion and transformation!
