After making up his mind, Qi Ping hurried back to the Blood Ginseng growing area and took out the Fire Spirit Grass, Blood Ginseng, and Flowing Light Grass, all collected with soil and stored in the Storage Bag.
This place has undergone a significant transformation compared to before.
One by one, the flowers were planted here by Qi Ping.
Similar places with the same layout can be found hundreds of times in the dense forest. Without Spiritual Medicine actively absorbing Spiritual Qi, the Blood Ginseng growing area visually looks no different from other places.
This is also why the woman in green couldn't find anything unusual even after many trips through the forest.
After confirming that the woman in green hadn't returned to monitor, Qi Ping started planting again without worry.
"One Flowing Light Grass..."
"Seventeen Blood Ginsengs..."
Now, Qi Ping has seventeen Blood Ginsengs, with medicinal efficacy ranging from a few years to decades.
Thanks to these Blood Ginsengs being able to self-propagate, despite prolonged consumption, the number of Blood Ginsengs has not decreased but increased. Although the rate of nurturing new Blood Ginseng is not fast, it is sufficient to ensure stable output.
The Flowing Light Grass has also produced quite a few seeds. Since there's no need, Qi Ping hasn't cultivated them yet; using one for the Golden Marrow Bee to produce honey is enough.
"One Fire Spirit Grass with sixty years of medicinal efficacy, one with twenty years, and five with three to four years..."
The only pity for Qi Ping is that fifty years of medicinal efficacy is not the transformation point for Fire Spirit Grass's medicinal power.
Qi Ping estimates that, like Blood Ginseng, the transformation point may be at the hundred-year medicinal efficacy mark.
To restore the Li Fire Crow's bloodline, ordinary Tier One Intermediate Fire Spirit Grass is difficult to achieve unless in great quantities.
To improve efficiency, Qi Ping plans to let the Fire Spirit Medicine's efficacy reach a hundred years and transform once before proceeding.
Then, the Fire Spirit Grass with twenty years of efficacy will be used to test the liquid version of the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill and to experiment with which combination of spiritual medicines can best exert the Fire Spirit Grass's fire attribute efficacy.
As for the first approach, because there's a specific pill formula, Qi Ping will attempt it himself.
The second approach, without a pill formula as a basis, will be left to the Brewer Big Belly Bee to concoct.
[The Brewer Big Belly Bee possesses extremely keen Spiritual Sense on spiritual medicines, able to keenly blend spiritual medicines and maximize their effects, then turn them into honey.]
As long as Qi Ping tries different combinations of spiritual medicines, the Brewer Big Belly Bee can blend the appropriate ratios to brew honey based on these combinations.
The Brewer Big Belly Bee's intelligence seems reduced, perhaps entirely honed for its keen Spiritual Sense on spiritual medicines.
An increase and a decrease, for the Golden Marrow Bee, this might be the limit of their bodies, unless like the Balance Bee, all aspects of their bodies enhance comprehensively to withstand a new round of transformation, transforming into an even stronger state.
After planting all the spiritual medicines, Qi Ping applied the Plant Growth Skill four times, all used to accelerate the Fire Spirit Grass with sixty years of medicinal efficacy.
Looking at the Fire Spirit Grass that had grown significantly, a happy smile appeared on Qi Ping's face.
The feeling of effort leading to rewards is truly wonderful.
"Almost there, when the Fire Spirit Grass's efficacy reaches a hundred years, I should also be able to discover the optimal combination to exert its effect. By then, it will be time for you to restore your Power of Bloodline!"
Qi Ping looked at the Li Fire Crow, whose eyes showed longing, and patted its little head to comfort it.
"Caw caw... (Listen to the boss!)"
During this period, Qi Ping gradually understood the character of the Li Fire Crow.
Not only is its intelligence high, but it is also especially diligent in cultivation.
Before the first ray of sunlight appears in the morning, the Li Fire Crow would fly to the treetop, waiting for the first ray of sunlight to descend.
After beginning to bask in the sunlight, it makes an effort to absorb the Power of the Great Sun.
And it continues until the evening, stopping only after the last ray of sunlight has fallen to rest.
Often, by the end of the day, the Li Fire Crow is utterly exhausted.
But regardless of how tired it was the previous day, the Li Fire Crow would get up on time from rest, never missing a single ray of sunlight.
This spirit makes Qi Ping feel somewhat shameful by comparison.
Although Qi Ping himself likes Spiritual Medicine farming and cultivation, he prefers a rhythm that allows for a balance of work and rest, living comfortably.
Now, engaging in such meticulous farming and cultivation is more out of concern for external crises, fearing a sudden formidable enemy might appear one day, causing him to perish in disaster. If that were to happen, he would surely regret not utilizing such favorable conditions properly.
So his effort stems from crisis rather than belief in himself.
But the Li Fire Crow is different. Qi Ping can perceive a strong belief within the Li Fire Crow that supports its actions.
And it is not due to hatred or anything, just a belief in becoming stronger.
This continual, never-stopping absorption of the Power of the Great Sun each day did not make the Li Fire Crow feel fatigued but rather extremely satisfied and full of fighting spirit.
Qi Ping was quite delighted by this.
It's definitely a perfect candidate to become a strong crow!
For a Spirit Beast to break through its bloodline limitation, two critical factors are required: a lot of high-level resources and powerful belief and will.
Because only a sufficiently strong will can better enable a Spirit Beast to break through the shackles and limits of its bloodline, reaching a higher level.
When Qi Ping first saw the Li Fire Crow and chose it, its indomitable spirit was an important reason for his choice.
Now that they have spent time together, it proves that Qi Ping was not mistaken in his initial judgment.
Even more, the spirit of the Li Fire Crow is stronger and more surprising than Qi Ping had anticipated.
According to the Li Fire Crow, its power once plummeted almost to the Tier One beginning stage due to damaged bloodline. However, now with continual absorption and repair through the Power of the Great Sun, its strength has almost recovered to the Tier One advanced stage.
More surprisingly for Qi Ping, the Li Fire Crow claims to faintly feel that its restored bloodline seems to have become stronger.
Upon learning this news, Qi Ping's first thought was four words:
Breaking to Establish!
If the Breaking to Establish occurs, the probability of the Li Fire Crow's bloodline advance is very high.
Qi Ping realized he truly picked a treasure.
It might be that the Li Fire Crow's further advanced bloodline could rival Spirit Beasts worth six or seven thousand, or even seven to eight thousand Spirit Stones, whereas Qi Ping purchased the Li Fire Crow for only fifteen hundred Spirit Stones, and it came with a Storage Bag he had always wanted to continue using.
This move certainly was a massive profit!
Sometimes when seeing the Li Fire Crow, Qi Ping wanted to say: Yaya awesome!
...
After planting all the spiritual medicines and completing the cultivation, Qi Ping started cultivating the Wood Flame Technique.
His talent now was incomparable to before; one day of cultivation is much more efficient than ten days previously.
With such talent, Qi Ping naturally would not waste time.
Plus, this cultivation speed is truly exhilarating!
Qi Ping managed to persevere even at the previous snail-like pace, not to mention now.
After maintaining this state for two days, the Golden Marrow Bee helped him find two plants as ordinary medicinal materials for the formula. The reason for not purchasing them at the Market was to avoid anyone noticing his intention to prepare the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill—a cautious approach is still Qi Ping's style.
Once these two medicinal materials are gathered, Qi Ping will need only the final Spirit-Storage Fruit to proceed with the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill formula's modification experiment...
