Originally, before leaving Cyan Stone Marketplace, Qi Ping had considered selling everything he had to buy the Illusory Moon White Fox.

Because talents related to Divine Soul Comprehension and illusion-type spirit beasts are quite rare, it would indeed be a pity to miss out on them.

However, after weighing the risks, Qi Ping decided to give up.

Firstly, to gather two thousand Spirit Stones, he would have to bring out the four sword array spiritual artifacts from the late-stage Qi Refining black-robed Tribulation Cultivator and the high-age Blood Ginseng he cultivated.

The risks contained in these two items are extremely high.

Another reason is that he would be spending over four thousand Spirit Stones in Cyan Stone Marketplace at once, which would certainly not escape the notice of some influential figures.

Such a large amount of Spirit Stones could arouse the covetous interest of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

With these three risks in mind, Qi Ping decisively abandoned the idea of purchasing the Illusory Moon White Fox, as he currently did not have the extra resources to cultivate it.

At this stage, he should focus on utilizing the talents of the Li Fire Crow, concentrate his resources on improving his cultivation realm, and avoid such significant risks.

Besides, the bees can sustain themselves, and the Li Fire Crow can get full just by basking in the sun. Apart from enhancing his cultivation, Qi Ping only needs to cultivate enough Blood Ginseng and Fire Spirit Grass.

Aside from these, it's also important to research things like the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill (honey version)...

As for the Illusory Moon White Fox, he can only see if there will be another opportunity to obtain it later.

Moreover, there are four even rarer and stronger spirit beasts in Qingshi County, and Qi Ping believes that once his power grows, there will be more choices available.

The future might bring even more surprising spirit beasts.

...

Peak Seven of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, within the dense forest.

A large number of High-speed Ring-cutting Bees and Golden Marrow Bees were distributed all over the mountain peak, firmly surrounding a youthful, stern-looking boy in the forest.

And in front of this youthful boy was a black crow with feathers as black as ink.

A ray of sunlight penetrated the treetops and fell upon the black crow, highlighting the flame mark on its head with an extraordinary brilliance.

Occasionally, a strand of the Power of the Great Sun would seep into the black crow's body from the flame mark.

Naturally, this human and crow duo was Qi Ping and the Li Fire Crow, who had just returned to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range from Cyan Stone Marketplace.

"About to form the contract, I wonder which talent I will gain?"

A hint of anticipation rose in Qi Ping's heart.

Isn't the pursuit of powerful spirit beasts largely for this very moment?

As long as he acquires a suitable cultivation talent, breaking through to Foundation Establishment would be almost certain!

Anyway, the three talents of the Li Fire Crow are quite good, and no matter which one he gets, it would significantly aid in cultivating the "Wood Flame Technique."

Li Fire Body, Li Fire Flame, and Perceiving the Great Sun are all rare aptitudes for cultivating fire attribute techniques.

"There's an 80% chance of getting the main talent, as long as I don't unluckily get the other traits of the Li Fire Crow…"

With a bit of apprehension, Qi Ping summoned the Druid's Animal Companion exclusive contract array. In a surge of mysterious power, a dark green, human-sized mystical array slowly formed between Qi Ping and the Li Fire Crow.

Next, Qi Ping controlled the mystical array to merge into the black crow's body.

As the array energy entered the body, a dark green light erupted from the Li Fire Crow, and the same light arose from Qi Ping.

This process took longer than the previous contract with the Golden Marrow Bee, actually lasting over half an hour before the Animal Companion contract ceremony was formally completed.

After more than half an hour.

Qi Ping, who had been deeply immersed in talent comprehension, finally opened his eyes after the contract ceremony was complete.

When Qi Ping opened his eyes, they were already filled with delight.

"It succeeded!"

"Li Fire Body!"

This time, his luck finally took a turn for the better, not only dodging the 20% chance trap of random traits but also gaining the Li Fire Body he most desired!

Although Li Fire Body, Li Fire Flame, and Perceiving the Great Sun could all enhance Qi Ping's fire attribute cultivation aptitude, the enhancement from Li Fire Flame and Perceiving the Great Sun is not as direct as that of the Li Fire Body, making it the most straightforwardly effective for cultivation.

Because Li Fire Flame requires learning how to utilize Lifebound Fire for cultivation, Perceiving the Great Sun requires sunlight, while Li Fire Body simply requires existence!

[Li Fire Body: A trace of True Sun Fire has merged in your blood, granting you a high talent for fire attribute cultivation, allowing the rapid enhancement of strength by refining fire attribute spiritual objects.]

"Compared to the Li Fire Crow's talent, there is a notable change…"

Gaining insight into the talent information in his mind, Qi Ping quickly discovered that the shared Li Fire Body talent had undergone considerable alteration.

The original information of the Li Fire Body was as follows:

[Li Fire Body: A trace of diluted bloodline from the ancient Golden Crow flows within you, possessing a high talent for fire attribute cultivation, enabling the rapid enhancement of strength by devouring fire attribute spiritual objects.]

"Perhaps the human form is the reason behind the trace of diluted Golden Crow bloodline becoming a trace of True Sun Fire?"

"Well, it's not bad since having the Demon Race bloodline in a human body can always be a bit troublesome…"

"Nevertheless, the effect remains quite similar, as both offer a high talent for fire attribute cultivation, allowing the rapid enhancement of strength through the refinement of fire attribute spiritual objects…"

Qi Ping was quite satisfied with this change, as the applicability of True Sun Fire was broader for him than the Golden Crow bloodline.

Then Qi Ping checked his Druid attribute panel:

[Name: Qi Ping]

[Level: lv3 (33/400)]

[Professions: Beast King Druid (Primary), Jungle Druid (Secondary)]

[Talents: Animal Companion, Natural Affinity]

[Animal Companions: (2/3) Golden Marrow Bee, Li Fire Crow]

[Wilderness Transformation: (1/1) Golden Marrow Bee (Golden Marrow Bee, High-speed Ring-cutting Bee, Big Belly Bee, Balanced Bee, Highly Poisonous Bee, Ink Armor Bee)]

[Shared Talents: Great Brewmaster, Li Fire Body]

[Skills: lv2 Plant Growth (86/200), lv1 Beast King's Blessing (17/100), lv3 Tree Skin Technique (312/400), lv1 Healing Technique (2/100)]

[Constant Skills: Animal Communication, Beast Friend, Wild Heart]

(Level Experience +25, Plant Growth Experience +19, Beast King's Blessing Experience +2, Tree Skin Technique Experience +44, Healing Technique Experience +2)

"Level experience and skill experience are steadily increasing, not bad!"

Seeing the attribute panel, with an additional animal companion and a shared talent, as well as level and skill experiences steadily increasing, Qi Ping couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Watching his attributes continuously improve is a joyful thing.

After completing the contract and acquiring a shared talent, Qi Ping resisted the urge to immediately cultivate the "Wood Flame Technique," and first checked the state of the Li Fire Crow.

After confirming that the Li Fire Crow was fine, Qi Ping proceeded to plant the two newly acquired Fire Spirit Grass and five seeds, each using the [Plant Growth] skill four times, and then began to study the "Wood Flame Technique."

The reason Qi Ping did so was to ensure that he could cultivate the "Wood Flame Technique" with sufficient spiritual focus, while simultaneously nurturing Blood Ginseng and Fire Spirit Grass.

Currently, the Golden Marrow Bee's blast soldier and the Li Fire Crow's bloodline power recovery both require a large amount of Spiritual Medicine, and Qi Ping's own cultivation also has considerable demands for Spiritual Medicine.

Thus, being rather impoverished, Qi Ping can only meticulously plan to maximize the efficiency of his Spiritual Power.
