When Qi Ping purchased the Three-colored Deer, it was already at Tier Three Low Level.
The Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger, on the other hand, had a higher demonic level, with its bloodline at Tier Three High Level.
As for the Little Stone Spirit, Qi Ping currently couldn't judge its bloodline level, but judging by the strength of its Golden Stone Body, it wasn't inferior to the Golden Flame Body provided by Yaya and the Water Zeal True Lord provided by the Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger.
Moreover, as a special type of innate being, the Little Stone Spirit could continuously enhance its abilities as long as there were enough minerals. When Qi Ping goes out this time and lets it devour all the minerals from the loot, both its strength and bloodline should make considerable progress.
"Oh right, can I let the Little Stone Spirit devour all the spiritual artifacts from the loot?"
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, except for a small number, most spiritual artifacts are made of metal, which shouldn't be a big problem for the Little Stone Spirit to consume.
"Furthermore, the materials used to create spiritual artifacts are invaluable minerals, tempered with various spiritual objects and special techniques. Their spirituality and value far surpass ordinary minerals!"
"Moreover, the spirituality unique to spiritual artifacts, the aura of slaughter, and the Dao essence might make the bloodline transformation of the Little Stone Spirit even more unique and powerful..."
After some careful consideration, Qi Ping found the idea quite feasible and worth trying.
Most records in ancient texts depict Stone Spirits being crafted into spiritual artifacts, with no indications of what happens when a Stone Spirit consumes a large quantity of weapons.
Being a race that generally dislikes conflict, Stone Spirits typically don't enhance their power through large-scale weapon consumption.
Moreover, the exorbitant cost of spiritual artifacts makes it impractical for the average person to enhance power through their consumption.
"It's totally worth trying!"
After some contemplation, Qi Ping decided to give it a try.
With the unique spirituality of the spiritual artifacts, it might truly cultivate an extremely formidable Stone Spirit; the possibility is very high for innate beings like the Stone Spirit.
Moreover, Qi Ping would only be using up part of the loot, and he currently had enough Spirit Stones.
As Qi Ping didn't have a large amount of resources to cultivate the Little Stone Spirit at the moment,
he decided to call the Little Immortal Tiger over to help make a rough assessment of the fortunes and misfortunes of letting the Stone Spirit devour the spiritual artifacts.
Given the high price of spiritual artifacts and their relation to the future development of the Stone Spirit, Qi Ping decided an evaluation would put his mind at ease.
"Just a quick assessment will do, no need for a detailed test, as long as it doesn't damage your lifespan and essence..." Qi Ping instructed.
"Awoo... (Got it, Boss, don't worry, with the Bai Ze Bloodline, occasional simple divinations won't suffer from Celestial Secret retribution!)"
The Little Immortal Tiger patted his chest, reassuring Qi Ping.
Soon, as a golden light flashed in the Little Immortal Tiger's eyes, he made a rough assessment.
"Awoo... (Great Fortune!)"
Great Fortune!
Seeing the results, a genuine smile appeared on Qi Ping's face.
Is there any hesitation needed?
At the same time, an anticipation arose in Qi Ping's heart, wondering how far the Little Stone Spirit could grow and transform after consuming a large quantity of spiritual artifacts.
...
"Now, most issues regarding the short-term cultivation of all animal companions have been resolved, leaving only the bees..."
The Golden Marrow Bees, long-time companions of Qi Ping, are also a signature of the Bee Daoist.
Yet at Tier Two Low Level now, they find it difficult to offer much help to Qi Ping in high-end battles.
Currently, in battles, the bees mainly assist Qi Ping by clearing ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators and concealing loot, as well as locating enemies.
Their role within the territory now largely revolves around Farming, and their reconnaissance and warning roles have diminished significantly.
"Next, it's crucial to cultivate the bees!"
In Qi Ping's heart, the bees' utility is the greatest, encompassing not only battles but also Farming and mechanisms.
Their roles in reconnaissance, transformation stealth, and loot concealment are all substantial when used well.
"Once I head out, I'll first see if the loot can assemble the ingredients for a Tier Two Metamorphosis Potion. If not, I'll procure some more from the Mysterious Black Market..."
By the Tier Two stage, transformation isn't as simple as it was at Tier One anymore.
To metamorphose the bees to Mid or Late Tier Two, their bodies must initially be nurtured using the "Insect Nurturing Potion." Once their bodies have preliminarily transformed and absorbed sufficient resources, the "Blood Spirit Dew Potion" can be used to induce mutation, enabling the bees to metamorphose to Mid or Late Tier Two.
However, Qi Ping remains quite confident about this.
The Golden Marrow Bee King successfully advanced to Tier Two Early Stage a few years ago, and has long since cultivated the Balanced Bee for transformation.
Now it's just about gathering the Spiritual Medicine for refining the Metamorphosis Potion.
With the Beast King's Blessing enhancing the success rate of metamorphosis, and Potential Activation invigorating the bees' potential, their chances of successful metamorphosis are significantly higher than normal.
Once the Bee King and its swarm advance to Late Tier Two and produce the highest quality Balanced Bees, it will be a true leap for the bee swarm!
Successfully devouring the Demon Insect King's corpse will elevate the bloodline of the bee swarm to an unimaginable level!
...
After concluding matters regarding the Demon Eyes Demon Realm, Qi Ping started planning to reclaim loot from the annihilated subsidiary forces of the Immortal Alliance.
Since Qi Ping needs cultivation techniques with dual water and fire attributes for developing new techniques, weapons and minerals for the Little Stone Spirit, spiritual medicines for bee metamorphosis...
And he can also acquire the eighth animal companion now.
To enhance the Natural Sanctuary, Qi Ping also needs to purchase and contract new Spirit Trees...
"After seven to eight years, there shouldn't be any danger!"
With enhanced means to eliminate and prevent tracking, Qi Ping was confident that encountering problems was improbable.
For prudence, Qi Ping still set up a Tier Two High Level Array of water and fire compatibility and developed contingency plans before commencing to reclaim this large trove of loot.
Perhaps due to considerable progress in his techniques to eliminate and prevent tracking, this time, Qi Ping's process of reclaiming the loot went comparatively smoothly, without encountering any pursuing late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Given the vast amount of loot, it took Qi Ping over two months to inventory everything and sell unnecessary items at the Mysterious Black Market.
Even the two-tenths of the loot unfinished from last time, and the loot from several Foundation Establishment Cultivators, had been fully processed by Qi Ping and exchanged for captivating Spirit Stones!
