Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Plant Monarch! Level 8 Druid!
[Species: Wind Blade Bee]
[Bloodline: Tier Two High Level]
[Talents: Wind Armor, Wind Blade, Storm Gathering]
Wind Armor: Forms a gale-like flowing wind attribute Spiritual Power armor on the surface, significantly reducing the damage received.
Wind Blade: Condenses a sharp wind attribute Spiritual Power blade to strike at enemies.
Storm Gathering: Can connect with other Wind Blade Bees to form a united entity, greatly enhancing the strength of Wind Armor and Wind Blade through the convergence of Spiritual Power.
[Evaluation: It’s easy to deal with a single Wind Blade Bee, but be careful if there’s a large swarm.]
Though Qi Ping was not very excited about the perfect metamorphosis of the Wind Blade Bee,
because at the late stage of Tier Two, the bloodline power of the Golden Marrow Bee was quite ordinary. Compared to Yaya, the Flower Demon, and the Immortal Tiger, they held no particular advantage and could only rely on vast numbers and battle arrays to restrain enemies.
Even with perfect metamorphosis, this was the situation for the Wind Blade Bees.
However, the situation changed with Storm Gathering. The power produced by a large gathering of Wind Blade Bees surprised Qi Ping.
Thus, from many strategies and techniques related to battle arrays, Qi Ping developed a battle array technique that genuinely capitalizes on the Storm Gathering traits of the Wind Blade Bees.
In this array, the Wind Blade Bees unite completely into a massive whole, allowing them to rapidly transform into various shapes with their agile speed!
Such as the super defensive Wind Armor Array and the highly offensive Super Wind Blade Array! They can also split into various battle formations as needed!
To counter different types of attacks, be they concentrated Sword Cultivator strikes or dispersed attacks, different formations can be adopted accordingly, choosing either to dodge or sacrifice some bees against overwhelming attacks, while against dispersed attacks, they can form a massive Wind Armor Grand Array!
With the speed and agility advantage of the Wind Blade Bees, there are many ways to play with them.
After fully optimizing the battle array of the Wind Blade Bees, Qi Ping was very satisfied with it.
"With the Wind Blade Bees in hand, the Bee Daoist’s reputation is finally well-deserved!"
"Now it’s just about fully cultivating the scale of the bee swarm..."
Looking at the vast patch of Tier Two Spiritual Medicines overflowing with Spiritual Qi and aromatic fragrance in his territory, Qi Ping was filled with confidence.
Under the management of the Golden Marrow Bee King and the blessing of the Natural Sanctuary, the state of the Spiritual Medicine industry was excellent.
With this industry, it was more than sufficient for Qi Ping to forge a terrifyingly numerous bee army.
"Perhaps soon, the Wind Blade Bees will bring a great surprise to the Qingtian Realm!"
...
After the completion of the swarm’s metamorphosis and entering the late-stage Foundation Establishment, Qi Ping focused more on studying array integration, Water and Fire Techniques, and increasing his Druid level.
Through Qi Ping’s efforts, in less than a year, he managed to grind his Druid Level to eight!
[Druid Level: lv7 (1/6400)] → [Druid Level: lv8 (1/12800)]
"After elevating my cultivation to the late-stage Foundation Establishment, the speed of acquiring Druid Experience indeed increased significantly!"
Qi Ping could fully ascertain that the enhancement of the cultivation realm would indeed accelerate the acquisition of Druid Experience, and the speed of gaining Druid Experience was never constant.
"Perhaps it’s because, after the realm enhancement, comprehending the Path of Law and magic becomes somewhat easier?"
Qi Ping was uncertain about this, but the realm enhancement accelerating Druid Experience acquisition was undeniably beneficial to him.
Currently, what Qi Ping was most focused on were the four skills brought by the eighth Druid Level.
The two skills brought by the Tree Shepherd were [Plant Monarch] and [Plant Cage]; the Beast King Druid’s skills were [Wilderness True Form] and [Beast King Destruction].
After glancing over these four skills, Qi Ping immediately chose [Plant Monarch] and [Wilderness True Form].
These two skills were indispensable for Qi Ping, whereas [Plant Cage] and [Beast King Destruction], though decent offensive skills, lacked substantial appeal to Qi Ping, who had countless magic spells at hand.
However, the significance of [Plant Monarch] and [Wilderness True Form] to Qi Ping was irreplaceable!
In particular, in the game, [Plant Monarch] was merely a skill that increased the acquisition rate of experience. Though its effect seemed unremarkable in the game, Qi Ping believed that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, its strength could be elevated by at least three levels!
[Plant Monarch: The Plant Monarch can continuously acquire the power perceptions from Contracted Trees! Periodically, experience from the Contracted Trees can be obtained. The more Contracted Trees there are, the faster the experience acquisition rate.]
This effect was akin to a passive experience gain, greatly enhancing Qi Ping’s acquisition rate of Druid Experience — a nice little passive boost for Qi Ping. The more Spirit Wood he contracted, the better the experience acquisition effect would be.
This alone, however, wasn’t enough to genuinely excite Qi Ping, since he felt that the current speed of Druid Level advancement was satisfactory, not especially slow, falling well within the acceptable range for a long-lived Cultivator.
What truly stirred Qi Ping was the first line of this skill: The Plant Monarch can continuously acquire power perceptions from Contracted Trees!
This could potentially mean Qi Ping might continually gain power insights from Contracted Trees, like the Power of the Scorching Sun from the Scorching Sun Wood!
"If this effect can truly be realized, my speed in comprehending the Power of the Five Elements Law will greatly increase, possibly even allowing a glimpse into other Law Powers!"
Qi Ping could very well plant Spirit Plants associated with the Five Elements or even Space-Time, Illusion Techniques, Dream Dao, etc. Using these Contracted Spirit Woods, Qi Ping could continually gain insights into these Laws!
Grasping the difficult Path of the Five Elements, if he could use more Five Elements Spirit Woods to accelerate his comprehension of the Power of the Five Elements, the [Plant Monarch] skill could indeed become a true Divine Skill!
Moreover, as Qi Ping’s cultivation level and Power of Divine Soul steadily increased, he could contract more Spirit Woods, and the benefits brought by the Plant Monarch skill would continually rise!
"This outcome will reveal itself soon enough!"
Anticipating the tremendous potential of this skill, Qi Ping’s heart was filled with expectation.
The [Wilderness True Form] is the evolved form of the skill [Wilderness Transformation].
If Wilderness Transformation is simply a mechanical feature, then Wilderness True Form is a genuine complete transformation form!
Upon advancing the Wilderness Transformation form to Wilderness True Form, the Wilderness Transformation form will ultimately become a free cultivation form without any limitations!
