"Huh... My body's fire spiritual power affinity has increased?"

Feeling the increasingly active Wood Flame Spiritual Power within him and the fire attribute spiritual qi in the air, Qi Ping was full of surprise.

He originally thought that the Li Fire Crow would need to consume fire spirit honey made from centennial fire spirit grass and other herbs to complete the enhancement of its bloodline!

Unexpectedly, Yaya's bloodline has already improved upon just regaining Tier One late-stage power.

"It's probably just the finishing touch!" Qi Ping speculated.

The Li Fire Crow has been accumulating the Power of the Great Sun over time, and recently mentioned its bloodline seemed enhanced. Now, with the power of fire spirit honey and the recovery of Tier One late-stage power, some enhancement in the bloodline is achieved naturally and isn't that surprising.

This breakthrough by the Li Fire Crow didn't take long; in just a quarter of an hour, it completely refined the fire spirit honey and restored its strength to the late stage of Tier One.

After the power was restored, a stream of gold-red Fire of Separation burned fiercely on the surface of the Li Fire Crow, emitting an intense heat and dangerous aura.

Qi Ping had no doubt that this flame could directly burn him to ashes.

Because the Li Fire Crow originally fell from Qi Refining Perfection, its peak power was considerably stronger than typical Qi Refining Perfection.

So now, with the recovery to the late stage of Tier One power, the potential energy it can release is far beyond a Li Fire Crow just breaking into the late stage of Tier One.

Not to mention, Qi Ping's Li Fire Crow has had a significant enhancement in its bloodline.

"But the feeling of Yaya's lifebound spiritual fire and aura seems somewhat unstable; it looks like it's hard to unleash the true power of the Fire of Separation until fully recovered..."

After Qi Ping waited briefly on the side, the Li Fire Crow restrained the gold-red flame on its body and flapped its wings back to Qi Ping's shoulder.

"Caw caw... (Boss! I successfully restored my Tier One late-stage power!)"

Upon returning to Qi Ping's shoulder, the Li Fire Crow excitedly spoke, eyes filled with intense joy.

It had been waiting for this day for quite a while. It absorbed the Power of the Great Sun every day, aiming to swiftly restore its bloodline and power, and now finally regained some of it!

And Qi Ping looked at the excited Yaya and the more mystical flame mark on its forehead:

"Not bad! Yaya, has your bloodline also improved a bit?"

Upon hearing this, the Li Fire Crow widened its eyes:

"Caw caw... (Boss, how did you know? It has strengthened a bit, but not much; true transformation may have to wait until the bloodline is fully restored...)"

"Well, that won't be long; in about seven days, the centennial fire spirit grass can be brewed into centennial fire spirit honey. You continue cultivating and prepare well!"

"Caw caw... (Yes, Boss!)"

Yaya responded and quickly returned to the sunlight to perceive the Power of the Great Sun.

...

After the Li Fire Crow successfully broke through to Tier One late-stage, Qi Ping's worries lessened.

Next, with consuming the fire spirit honey brewed from centennial fire spirit grass, the Li Fire Crow should be able to recover to its peak condition.

The Li Fire Crow, with its restored peak condition and bloodline enhancement, would undoubtedly unleash exceptionally powerful combat strength.

"There's still a week, enough to stabilize Yaya's realm and adjust it to optimal condition..."

By then, with the Li Fire Crow and the bee swarm joining forces, Qi Ping estimated that not many cultivators in the Qi Refining stage could withstand them.

Returning to the Blood Ginseng growing ground, after cultivating a batch of Fire Spirit Grass, Qi Ping also began to take stock of his current possessions.

After a week, once the Li Fire Crow completes its breakthrough, it will be the time for him to excavate the secrets beneath the Blood Ginseng growing ground. Before that, all planning must be thoroughly prepared.

Such as battle preparations, inventorying and packing valuable items, planning escape routes in case of danger, and gathering the spirit stones needed for renting Zone B... and so on.

Qi Ping does not want to entrust his life and fortune to luck.

Stepping cautiously is the key to everlasting life!

"The bee swarm is now fully nurtured to the planned scale..."

"There are a thousand High-speed Ring-cutting Bees, five hundred each of Ink Armor Bees, Highly Poisonous Bees, Balanced Bees, and Brewer Big Belly Bees, plus another thousand ordinary Golden Marrow Bees..."

Among these bee swarms, because of its speed and attack advantages, the High-speed Ring-cutting Bee is the main force for reconnaissance and offense, hence its large numbers. This is Qi Ping's absolute mainstay.

Ink Armor Bees and Highly Poisonous Bees, with one boasting super high defense and the other possessing high venom, are used as supportive bee swarms.

Ink Armor Bees attract the enemy's primary attack, earning combat opportunities for High-speed Ring-cutting Bees and Highly Poisonous Bees.

The Highly Poisonous Bee, lacking clear speed and defense advantages, stands out for its tail needle's exceptional piercing armor-piercing power and venom.

Thus, Qi Ping plans to deploy Highly Poisonous Bees for a deadly strike when the enemy is distracted by Ink Armor Bees and High-speed Ring-cutting Bees, especially against larger enemies, where its attack effectiveness surpasses High-speed Ring-cutting Bees.

In fact, these three combat bee swarms each have strengths and weaknesses, their combined combat power vastly outstripping that of any single type, allowing for strategic combat tactics tailored to enemy characteristics.

Now, Qi Ping meticulously researched and trained these battle bee swarms for battle arrays, compared to mere untrained soldiers, their combat power is altogether different.

The five hundred Brewer Big Belly Bees were specifically prepared for brewing advanced honey like fire spirit honey, fire ginseng honey, or other high-level spiritual medicine.

The Balanced Bees and ordinary Golden Marrow Bees are currently primarily responsible for pollen and spiritual medicine collection, as well as brewing the bee swarm's daily dietary needs, ensuring survival and basic combat power support.

These living conditions are austere for the bee swarm, but it is unavoidable.

Because the current number of bee swarms has already reached the ecological land's carrying capacity on Seventh Peak, and may even slightly exceed it.

If Qi Ping does not utilize plant growth to cultivate food for the bee swarm, the ecology of Seventh Peak would gradually collapse within three months.

Thus, moving to a larger area with more spiritual land is urgent, only then can the bee swarm represent not a liability, but generate substantial benefits for Qi Ping.

"Before digging out the secrets underground, the small black bees and all spiritual medicine must be stored in the Spirit Beast Bag..."

The small black bees are the legacy of old man Zhou, having followed Qi Ping for many years, he naturally would not abandon them. Taking them to the new location poses no loss to him; instead, he can regularly collect ordinary honey from them.

"After these preparations are done, we'll see if I can find something good under the Blood Ginseng growing ground; if encountering overwhelming danger, I'll escape immediately..."

...

After completing these plans, Qi Ping settled down to cultivate the Wood Flame Technique and nurture Fire Spirit Grass, steadily enhancing his cultivation, the medicinal effect longevity of Fire Spirit Grass, and Druid level experience.

If the Li Fire Crow does not successfully recover in a week, there could be higher-year Fire Spirit Grass directly available for the Li Fire Crow to consume.

Qi Ping was quite pleasantly surprised that a slight enhancement in the Li Fire Crow's bloodline had already brought him substantial experience growth.

[Druid Level Experience +16]!

This time merely a slight transformation garnered 16 experience points; when the Li Fire Crow completes its true transformation, it's bound to earn an exceptionally abundant experience reward.

Now, half a month has passed since the day he contracted the Li Fire Crow, Qi Ping's Druid Level Experience also increased by 79 points.

[Level: lv3 (33/400)] → [Level: lv3 (112/400)]

Qi Ping estimates if the Li Fire Crow's bloodline transformation yields generous experience, then in two months, he could promptly upgrade to Level 4 Druid.

In Level 4 Druid, there is a skill Qi Ping is very eager for...
