"I've been grinding for so long, and finally, my Druid Level has reached level four!"

It's been almost four months since the last time my Druid Level increased!

Nearly a hundred days!

If it were a game where you only leveled up once in a hundred days, you'd probably rage quit.

"But it's still pretty good if you're in the Immortal Cultivation World!"

In the Immortal Cultivation World, reaching Foundation Establishment can give you a lifespan of three to five hundred years, and Golden Core Stage Cultivators can enjoy a lifespan of almost a thousand years.

Even though Qi Ping is only at the Seventh-Layer of Qi Refining now, as long as he doesn't get severely injured and injure his foundation, he can live to at least two hundred years old.

In just over a hundred days, he can get two special nature-based skills, one animal companion contract slot per level, and once he contracts an animal companion, he can share one of its talents.

If other cultivators knew this, they'd probably be jealous enough to dissect Qi Ping, examine his Divine Soul inch by inch, just to see if they could find any inheritance...

That's why Qi Ping chooses to remain low-key; showing off is fine, but you have to bear the great risk of exposing your abilities.

Qi Ping feels that his current state is pretty good; even if someone knows he's not simple, they would at most think he has hidden strength not exceeding the Qi Refining Stage, and the people sent to deal with or investigate him would at most be Late-stage Qi Refining...

But in reality, Qi Ping has the ability to escape even when facing Foundation Establishment, and unless they're a genius like Lin Qingshu who has comprehended Sword Intent, Qi Refining Stage cultivators would find it hard to pose a threat to him.

This is the confidence Qi Ping has to protect himself in the chaotic Qingtian Realm!

Who would go out of their way to deal with an insignificant, unknown ant underground?

...

"Actually, going from level three to level four is still okay; going from level four to level five will take much longer, probably half a year to a year..."

"But by then, it will also mark the first professional advancement, which is definitely something to look forward to!"

After the Druid profession completes its advancement, there will be a significant qualitative change, which Qi Ping is very much looking forward to.

After all, what professional wouldn't look forward to advancement?

And at this moment, the level four Druid skills are about to be generated, and Qi Ping turns his attention to his Druid panel.

[Druid Level: lv3 (205/400)] → [Druid Level: lv4 (1/800)].

[Generating level 4 Druid skills...]

[Please select profession skills...]

[Beast King Druid (choose one): Beast King's Flame, Beast Timidity]

lv1 Beast King's Flame: A powerful flame is nurtured within you, with strong destructive power, especially effective against all types of defenses like energy defense and physical defense (Passive, Upgradable) (You can upgrade Beast King's Flame by comprehending the Power of Flame)

lv1 Beast Timidity: As a Beast King Druid, you can perform magic to significantly reduce hostile animals' aggression towards you, significantly reducing their desire to attack you. (Active, Upgradable)

[Jungle Druid (choose one): Poison Extinguishing Technique, Natural Perception]

lv1 Poison Extinguishing Technique: You can consume energy to expel toxins from your body, reducing or neutralizing the harm of toxins to yourself. (Active, Upgradable)

lv1 Natural Perception: You have a keen sense of the natural environment, able to detect hidden dangers and have a premonition of fortune or disaster on the horizon. (Passive, Non-upgradable)

It looks like another choose-two-from-four option, but in fact, previously shown skills can also be actively displayed and chosen, such as Beast Mastery and Greed Vine can be actively displayed and selected.

However, Qi Ping would naturally never actively choose the previously shown skills again, because two of the level four skills are ones he must choose, making it impossible to consider previously shown skills.

So this time, Qi Ping's choice is very decisive, without any hesitation.

"Beast King's Flame, Beast Timidity, Poison Extinguishing Technique, Natural Perception... choose two from four..."

"For the Beast King Druid, choose the skill Beast King's Flame!"

"For the Jungle Druid, choose the skill Natural Perception!"

First, the comparison between Beast King's Flame and Beast Timidity.

If Qi Ping were in the Beast Realm or places with many Beast Taming Cultivators, Beast Timidity would be a divine skill, avoiding lots of unnecessary danger.

But currently, Qi Ping doesn't really have many opportunities to use this skill, so there's no need to hesitate in its choice unless one day he falls into the Beast Realm.

As for the Beast King's Flame, if Qi Ping were purely cultivating Wood Attribute Techniques, the Beast King's Flame wouldn't be of much value to him, even if chosen, it'd just add a common method, requiring time to comprehend the Power of Flame to increase its level.

But now it's completely different!

Qi Ping is Dual Cultivating Wood and Fire, making Beast King's Flame very significant to him!

Especially as Qi Ping currently has the Yang Fire Body talent and is actively working on comprehending the True Meaning of Fire.

Beast King's Flame can not only help Qi Ping better comprehend the True Meaning of Fire but also passively absorb various Fire Attribute Energies to upgrade its level and power as Qi Ping comprehends them!

It's practically a two-for-one deal for Qi Ping!

"Comprehending the True Meaning of Fire should be a lot easier now!"

During this time, Qi Ping has truly felt the difficulty of comprehending the True Meaning of Fire, even with so many talents and conditions, progress was extremely slow.

This threshold holds back so many people for a reason.

Therefore, Qi Ping is extremely happy to obtain his own Lifebound Fire at this moment.

"There's hope in comprehending the True Meaning of Fire!"

"And in the future, when the Beast King's Flame level is raised, I'll finally have an effective offensive means at my disposal..."

Otherwise, in the past, Qi Ping could only rely on animal companions to attack enemies, making his methods seem too thin.

"In the future, when enemies attack me, I can simultaneously cast Tree Skin Technique and a Defense Technique, immediately sending out my Lifebound Fire, giving me triple defense..."

Upon gaining this ability, Qi Ping's first thought was to use it as a life-saving measure.

Moreover, the Beast King's Flame's special effects on destroying physical and energy defenses should be quite useful in certain situations.

Next, there's no need for hesitation in the choice between Poison Extinguishing Technique and Natural Perception.

While Poison Extinguishing Technique is good and could avoid many situations, it falls far short when compared to Natural Perception.

In games, Natural Perception's role is often limited, and Poison Extinguishing Technique can handle various quest situations, having high usage frequency.

But now, this is the Immortal Cultivation World!

In the Immortal Cultivation World, Natural Perception is truly a divine skill for Qi Ping!
