Chapter 326 Explosive Development, How to Open the Beastmaster Druid
Seeing those bloody vines and the surrounding environment, Qi Ping's face instantly turned dark.

"Grand Elder Ling Qianjue!"

At this moment, Qi Ping finally developed the intention to kill Qingyuan Sect's Grand Elder Ling Qianjue.

Because if what Ling Qianjue did here completely broke out, it would not only be a matter of life and death for one clan, but would also cause huge damage to the veins of the Qingtian Domain, and might even cause the death of all living beings in an area!

Qi Ping is now in a lava crater filled with magma.

Countless terrifying magmas were boiling in it, and deafening sounds continued to come from under the magma. The terrifying waves coming from it made Qi Ping's scalp numb.

Lava explosion disaster!

The power of the volcanic eruption in the lava field before our eyes has accumulated to a terrifying and unstable level. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it will erupt completely in hundreds to a thousand years.

"Once this power explodes, the earth veins will be broken and all living things will be destroyed."

For Qi Ping, this was not only a disregard for the lives of the creatures in the Qingtian Realm, but also a blocking of his path to immortality. Just from his current identity as the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, Ling Qingjue's behavior had already put him in a life-and-death confrontation.

"But the most important thing now is to solve the problem at hand."

The reason why the lava crater in front of us looks like this is because a formation has been set up here.

This huge formation directly and frantically absorbed the fire spirit power of the underground magma world, but such crazy power extraction directly disrupted the normal power circulation of the underground magma world, causing a very terrifying and violent power to accumulate here.

Qi Ping estimated that this formation had lasted for at least a thousand years.

In addition, the power circulation and power level here are very high. With the current explosion power, the magma and shock wave produced are definitely much more terrifying than the self-detonation of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

The other Nascent Soul is the purpose of Qi Ping's coming here, which is the Earth Spirit Fire Lizard that is controlled by the formation and the [Parasitic Blood Species].

The Earth Spirit Fire Lizard is a creature that lives in magma like the Lava Beast. They like to roam freely in the magma layer to practice. They will clear blocked magma flows, take the initiative to solve the problem of local power riots, and ensure the normal state of the underground magma.

This dredging process can not only ensure the stability of the underground, but also ensure the stable birth of various spiritual creatures in the underground magma. This is also beneficial to the earth spirit fire lizards themselves. It is also an inheritance and instinct rooted in their blood, and they have a certain symbiotic relationship with the underground magma world.

Because it contains the blood of a dragon in its body, the blood level of the Earth Spirit Fire Lizard is higher than that of the Lava Beast.

Just like the group of trapped earth spirit fire lizards in front of Qi Ping, there are about a hundred of them, and there are actually three golden elixir-level earth spirit fire lizards among them! Even two of them are in the late third stage, that is, the late golden elixir stage!

At the moment they are trapped and confined here, naturally they can no longer continue to dredge and clean the underground magma world; the fire spirit power that the formation absorbs without restraint is also for the purpose of providing for the reproduction and cultivation of this group of earth spirit fire lizards.

The reason why this group of earth spirit fire lizards can be controlled and kept in captivity is mainly because of the [parasitic blood species] in their bodies.

Parasitic blood species is an extremely strange and vicious practice in the world of immortal cultivation, and is a variant of the mother-child practice.

The mother and child techniques are that the mother technique can devour the cultivation results of the child technique and use it for its own benefit, but this requires at least the practitioner of the child technique to take the initiative to practice it himself.

Parasitic blood species are much more domineering. They can directly plant parasitic blood species on spirit beasts, thereby affecting and controlling the spiritual behavior of spirit beasts.

Once the need arises, the parasitic blood species that has taken deep root in the body of the spirit beast will instantly devour all of the spirit beast's essence and then turn it into nourishment for the parasitic blood species' master.

Now this group of Earth Spirit Fire Lizards are covered with terrifying blood-colored vines, which is a sign that the parasitic blood species has taken deep roots. Under the control of the parasitic blood species, all the Earth Spirit Fire Lizards are in a state of frantically devouring the power of the Fire Spirit to strengthen themselves and continue to reproduce.

As Qi Ping perceived, the aura of Grand Elder Ling Qianjue was clearly evident on every blood-colored vine!
The reason why he could sense it was because the parasitic blood species was extremely difficult to cast, and it required the caster's essence, blood, and soul essence. The more powerful the spirit beast, the more essence, blood, and soul essence it needed.
"Let's investigate carefully first!"

The current situation is extremely tricky, and even with Qi Ping's current strength, he dare not act rashly.

Especially when the true strength of the Supreme Elder is still unclear, any rash action will only bring worse consequences.

Qi Ping used his [Natural Perception] talent to predict the results of several actions, and they were basically [Cruel] or [Slightly Cruel].
"Trouble!"

After a period of confirmation and thinking, Qi Ping had to admit that he had no way to solve all the problems before the Supreme Elder Ling Qingjue arrived.

Moreover, after a period of observation, Qi Ping made another discovery. Based on the arrangement of the formation, Qi Ping was completely certain that the person who was extracting the power of the earth veins in Qingtian Realm was none other than Ling Qianjue!

"Ignoring the natural disaster of lava explosions, using parasitic blood species to raise earth spirit fire lizards, and extracting the power of the earth veins of the entire Qingtian region."

"What on earth does Ling Qianjue want to do? Could it be..."

Then, a possibility arose in Qi Ping's mind:
God!

There hasn't been a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage in the Qingtian Domain for at least tens of thousands of years.

This is not only because the difficulty of breaking through the Spirit Transformation Realm is higher than the difficulty of breaking through all the previous realms combined, but more importantly, the total amount of resources in the Qingtian Realm has long been insufficient to support the emergence of a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

There are only two third-level spiritual veins, which are simply not enough to support the emergence of a divine cultivator.

Even if all resources were exchanged, it might not be possible to exchange for enough elixirs and pills needed to break through to the God Transformation Realm. What's more, the Qingtian Domain does not only belong to Ling Qianjue.

You have to know that the immortal Lin Wuji, who can constantly devour blood and is supported by the Immortal Alliance, is only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. "If that's the case, then it makes sense. Only a spirit transformation can explain Ling Qianjue's behavior."

The more Qi Ping thought about it, the more he was convinced of this possibility. Only the transformation into a spirit was worth all the trouble.

"Earth Spirit Fire Lizard. In addition to these, Ling Qianjue seems to have set his sights on me. However, this is just what I discovered."

Qi Ping had a hunch, or he could infer based on Ling Qianjue's survival time and various behaviors, that these behaviors were definitely not all, and even these were just a small part of them!

"Those spiritual beasts underground that Qi Ping has not yet discovered, and the cultivators of the same human race."

“Perhaps Ling Qianjue’s cave or secret base still has more important spiritual beasts and human cultivators.”

Qi Ping felt that this was definitely not a groundless guess. If it were him, he would definitely place the most important resources and things in his own territory.

A creature like the Earth Spirit Fire Lizard is probably just a small head, and it is estimated that it is willing to be placed here. There is probably a reason why the Earth Spirit Fire Lizard must rely on the magma world to practice.

"There are also two third-level spirit veins and even some strong second-level spirit veins, which may also be planned."

Based on Qi Ping's understanding of the known information about the Grand Elder Ling Qianjue, the layout of this old monster may be far beyond his imagination.

It is also entirely possible to use all the resources and lives available in the Qingtian Realm to achieve his path to becoming a god!

"Wait, could it be that even most of the high-level creatures in the Qingtian Realm will be included in his plan?"

Qi Ping suddenly felt more and more terrified the more he thought about it, and even felt a chill down his spine.

The last time he discussed Ling Qianjue with Wang He, he felt that he had already imagined him to be terrifying enough, but now it seems that even though they had thought of the worst, they had only seen the tip of the iceberg.

After all, before seeing many things, one's thinking is limited, such as the captive earth spirit fire lizards and the entire Qingtian domain's earth veins that were extracted. How much else is there that one has not thought of?
The planning has lasted for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and the depth and terror of its strategy is absolutely unfathomable.

"And the prediction result of [Natural Perception] just now also proves one thing, that is, even if I carry all the fourth-level bee swarms with me, with the power of [Beast King's True Body] and [Lord of Mountains and Rivers], once we fight, the result will still be [Violent] or [Less Vicious]."

"So Ling Qianjue's fighting power and terror level are definitely beyond mine!"

"But since quite a few of them turned out to be [Minor Evil], it also proves that my current strength can barely contend with Ling Qianjue, or there is still a chance for me to escape, so I am not without a chance to deal with Ling Qianjue."

"So what I have to do now is to enhance my strength and weaken Ling Qianjue's power, especially the two talents [Lord of Mountains and Rivers] and [True Body of the Beast King], which are the easiest to improve my personal strength!"

Thinking of this, Qi Ping quietly left here to avoid alerting the enemy by staying for too long.

After returning to the territory, Qi Ping began to think seriously about the matter of the Grand Elder.

Qi Ping did not dare to be careless about this matter. The pressure brought to him by this old monster was too great, which made Qi Ping feel uneasy all the time. Fortunately, he chose to break through in the Bichuan Domain, otherwise no one could be sure whether unpredictable dangers would occur here.

After thinking for a while, Qi Ping quickly identified two main response methods.

One is on the [True Form of the Beast King]. This is the improvement that requires the least hesitation at the moment. Just madly improve the strength of the little stone elves, crows and bee colonies. The strength of these animal companions is currently the easiest to improve.

Especially the bee colonies, as long as the number of Nether Bees and Sky Bees is sufficient, they can directly give Qi Ping combat power equivalent to their own realm!

As for the Nether Bees and Sky Bees with king-level bloodlines, it is entirely possible for them to reach the late fourth stage, which is the late Nascent Soul stage. In addition, as long as the number of these two king-level bee colonies is sufficient, it will definitely be at the super disaster level.

To put it in an exaggerated way, with a formation composed of millions of Tianhuang Bees and Netherworld Bees, not to mention killing as many as there are in the Nascent Soul stage, even those in the Spiritualization stage may be able to fight. It's just that Qi Ping does not have so many resources to cultivate so many bees now.

"So from now on, we must fully cultivate all levels of resources in the territory!"

"First, we need to increase the number of second-order earth vein ants. We need to start exploring the Qingtian Domain and several nearby large domains as quickly as possible. We need to bring back all the resources that can be used to cultivate bee colonies and Bixia Earth Dragons, as well as any places where Ling Qianjue may have a backup plan!"

"The second thing is to increase the number of Bixia Earth Dragons as quickly as possible, and then use the [Wood Spiritual Energy] generated by the Bixia Earth Dragons to accelerate the cultivation of territory resources!"

After confirming, Qi Ping immediately assigned the task, and the mighty army of earth ants immediately began to sweep the entire underground world from all directions!

With the help of the high-speed movement of the underground vein ants, the sweep of the underground vein ants quickly spread, and with the continuous generation of new underground vein ants, the speed of exploration of the underground world increased rapidly!
Some of the waste materials brought back by the earth vein ants that are suitable for the Bixia Earth Dragon make the reproduction speed of the Bixia Earth Dragon and the production speed of [Wood Spiritual Energy] increase exponentially!

The increase in wood spiritual energy also led to a rapid increase in the cultivation and output of spiritual medicines in the territory, and it soon even surpassed Qi Ping's [plant growth] upper limit. The benefits of large-scale production and cultivation were also revealed at this moment, and Qi Ping exclaimed that it was awesome!
As the spiritual plants grew rapidly, Qi Ping continued to absorb the essence of the wood to speed up the growth of the spiritual veins. In addition, with the help of the earth vein ants, the spiritual veins were also rapidly strengthened!
Everything in Qi Ping's territory was developing at an ultra-high speed. Under this condition, the explosion speed of the Nether Bee and Sky Bee, which had originally slowed down a lot, increased rapidly, and the blessing of [True Body of the Beast King] brought to Qi Ping became higher and higher!
"This is the real awesomeness of Beastmaster Druid!"

Qi Ping looked at the thriving territory and felt deeply moved.

Without the various restrictions in the game, after contracting so many animal partners, there are so many ways to explore development. There are so many ways to play by combining the earth ants responsible for exploration, the bee colonies responsible for fighting, farming and making honey, the Bixia earth dragons responsible for generating [wood aura], and the little fairy tigers responsible for fortune calculation and protection.

The combination of Beastmaster Druid and Tree Shepherd's ability to produce resources is an even more powerful combination. Qi Ping is now extremely glad that he had chosen the Beastmaster Druid and Jungle Druid directions, which are so suitable for the development of the immortal cultivation world.

In addition, Qi Ping also has a hunch that the druid profession, which is about to awaken, is likely to form a super king bomb with the current two druid professions.

After the plans for animal companion training and the Beast King's true form were carried out smoothly, Qi Ping began to busy himself with the arrangements for the [Lord of Mountains and Rivers].

Even in Qi Ping's plan, the arrangement and development of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers is the key to truly fighting against the Supreme Elder.
