You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 411 Honey's Ambitions (Thanks for the monthly tickets, everyone!)
A sky full of cyan, gold, and purple lightning flashed, unleashing the most terrifying lightning tribulation storm in the Nine Realms of the Star Sea.

Without a doubt, this was a terrifying tribulation that even a Void Refinement expert would frown upon. If an ordinary cultivator's Nascent Soul Transformation tribulation had such intensity, they would probably die instantly.

However, such powerful lightning did not kill the azure dragon in the sky. As the lightning tribulation neared its end, the azure dragon, having completely absorbed and refined the power of the three-colored lightning tribulation, was no longer afraid of the lightning tribulation's damage. The powerful lightning tribulation struck its azure dragon scales, like a cheer celebrating the birth of a world-shaking powerhouse!

"Has the tribulation of three colors passed?"

"The azure dragon actually survived! Moreover, its physical body seems to have fully awakened and mastered a certain power under the stimulation of the lightning tribulation!"

"May the stars be blessed!"

The cultivators below, who had been feeling down due to the pressure of the tribulation, completely erupted at this moment.

At this point, the Star Sea Continent truly cannot bear the fall of a powerful being, especially a Four Symbols Divine Beast with extraordinary talent!
Fortunately, the crisis has passed, and the azure dragon even benefited from the misfortune, fully awakening its physical power.

Although no one knows what kind of power the azure dragon has awakened, just looking at the azure dragon's naturally formed protective dragon scales and power field, which even the three-colored lightning tribulation cannot harm, is enough to tell that the power of this dragon is definitely not something that ordinary people can easily imagine.

From being severely injured by the three-colored lightning tribulation to now being completely fearless of it, the azure dragon's struggle to withstand the heavenly might step by step and awaken its physique and power step by step not only proves the azure dragon's powerful talent, but also gives the cultivators of the Nine Domains of the Star Sea greater confidence.

The Nine Realms of the Star Sea are thriving, and their overall strength is increasing dramatically. The Azure God Army is growing stronger day by day. In addition, Qi Ping and the Azure Dragon have awakened powerful physiques and strength one after another, all of which are gradually increasing the courage and confidence of every cultivator to fight against powerful enemies.

The Star Sea Continent is not weak either!

I will diligently cultivate and train to protect the starry sea and bless my family!
This belief also arose in everyone's heart at this moment.

At the same time, they also had another idea in mind: they had to hurry up and get some honey from the Bee Dao Ren!
Besides the cyan dragon stealing the show during this tribulation, Qi Ping's honey also achieved the best advertising effect of the year.

Because it had just begun, the azure dragon clearly had difficulty enduring this tribulation of lightning. Even with its terrifying regenerative abilities, the azure dragon was suppressed by this tri-colored lightning tribulation, and its regenerative abilities were greatly reduced.

Because the destructive aura carried by the lightning tribulation was so terrifying that everyone could clearly feel it.

However, this predicament was broken by Qi Ping's honey!
Both the medicinal effects displayed by the blue dragon and the aroma emanating from the honey reached an astonishing level.

"People used to say that Senior Bee's honey was more powerful than any elixir, but I thought they were just bragging. After all, how could our alchemy techniques, passed down for countless years, be defeated by a bunch of spirit beasts? But after seeing it today, I realize how shallow I was!"

"Yes, it truly lives up to its reputation as a natal spirit beast nurtured by Senior Bee. Its honey is probably even better than the legendary fifth-tier elixir."

"There was a rumor in the market that Senior Bee's spirit bees were the strongest alchemists. I didn't believe it before, but now I'm convinced!"

"I was almost ready to collect enough contribution points to exchange for Senior Bee's honey, but this whole mess has ruined it. I'm afraid I won't be able to get it!"

It is foreseeable that after this incident, the honey produced by the Golden Marrow Bees will completely open up the market on the Star Sea Continent, and even the concept of the supremacy of elixirs will be completely shaken.

A type of honey has become even more sought-after than elixirs.

And this incident will bring about an interesting thing: all the alchemists in the entire Star Sea Continent will lose face!

Their respect for Bee Daoist was absolutely heartfelt. If it weren't for Bee Daoist's existence, they would never have been able to acquire so much knowledge and know the hope of continuing to improve.

However, this does not mean that we can just stand by and watch the alchemists of the entire Star Sea Continent be overwhelmed by a swarm of bees!
"What a shame!"

"Are there no alchemists left? The pills we make are not even as good as honey?"

"That's incredibly insulting!"

The fact that their side had given birth to a Four-Phase Divine Beast with unparalleled talent and combat prowess, and that it was the spirit beast of the most respected Bee Daoist, should have been a happy thing. The only ones who felt aggrieved were the group of alchemists!
"Damn it! I, Xiao Feng, hereby swear that I will never surpass Senior Bee's spirit beast in alchemy, and I will never touch a woman again in my life! I will absolutely not allow a spirit beast to dare to trample us underfoot in alchemy!"

"Me too! I won't drink the Seven Deadly Wine anymore, even if I don't regain my dignity as an alchemist!"

"Count me in! Alchemy has always been the glory of human cultivators; how can it be surpassed by a bunch of spirit beasts?"

At this moment, many alchemists also expressed their determination.

Then they seemed to suddenly realize something, and this time they surprisingly became united against a common enemy, despite their previous mutual distrust of each other.

After they realized what had happened, they felt a little strange for a moment, but that was all.

Soon someone else made a suggestion:

"The position of the Pill Pavilion Master is still undecided, and neither of us is willing to concede to the other. How about we make a bet? Whoever can surpass Senior Bee's spirit pet in alchemy will become the Pill Pavilion Master."

"can!"

"Hmph, whoever can reclaim the honor that belongs to the human alchemists, what harm is there in me acknowledging him as my master?"

"Danqizi, are you ready to become my junior apprentice?"

"Pah! With your level of skill, if you actually did that, I'd acknowledge you as my father!"

"I don't have a son as stupid as you!" It was this wager, recognized by alchemists across the Star Sea Continent, that created a spectacle and legend for a long time to come.

Under pressure and driven by motivation, the world-renowned Dan Pavilion produced a succession of powerful alchemists, reaching its most prosperous level in the entire history. However, none of them were ever qualified to become the head of the Dan Pavilion.
Such a heated discussion and dialogue was naturally overheard by Qi Ping, who was cultivating the Way of Heaven and Earth and all living beings.

These words left Qi Ping both amused and exasperated.

This act of using honey to help the little green dragon overcome its tribulation not only unexpectedly generated free advertising, but also inspired the fighting spirit of the alchemists.

Qi Ping had a premonition that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, driven by this fighting spirit and this goal, genius alchemists and alchemy masters from the Nine Realms of the Star Sea would emerge at an extraordinary pace.

"But surpassing the Bees won't be an easy task for them."

It wasn't that Qi Ping looked down on these alchemists, but rather that the Golden Marrow Bee Swarm's talent in honey production had truly reached an astonishing level. As the overall strength, attributes, and spiritual power of the bee swarm continued to increase, the upper limit of the bee swarm's honey production was also constantly being raised.

Most importantly, these bees are not individuals; they are a vast collective. Countless alchemy techniques and knowledge have been fused together by them in an incredibly unique way, becoming the inherited memory of the entire colony.

With a massive number of experiments conducted daily, various types of honey are produced almost every so often. All the experimental data is quickly integrated and utilized, becoming part of a vast brewing experience.

Today's bee colonies have accumulated the best honey-making experience and are able to work closely together to produce honey that is difficult to make.

Basically, as long as there is no large-scale death of bee colonies, these honey-making experiences will be updated and continuously improved at an extremely fast pace!
The Golden Marrow Bee Swarm is now a group of monster "alchemists" that even Qi Ping finds terrifying. Their experience, case studies, and knowledge are enough to crush any alchemist!

This is also Qi Ping's greatest achievement in cultivating animal companions, having trained a group of monster alchemists who can crush everything!

Qi Ping was very proud of this. He even felt that the honey-making ability of the Golden Marrow Bees was more important and outstanding than the bee colony's ability to fight insect swarms and natural disasters. This kind of production and creation ability was what Qi Ping valued more. Fighting was just a means of protecting himself!
"Perhaps one day, the honey from the Golden Marrow Bees can be sold throughout the myriad worlds, allowing me to collect precious resources and wealth from all of them!"

This is one of Qi Ping's greatest wishes.

All talk of conquering the myriad realms is just empty rhetoric. Qi Ping doesn't want to slaughter the myriad realms like an invader. Although building a super power that makes all the myriad realms submit is impressive, it's just an illusion.

Because who knows what kind of ancient monsters and terrifying beings are hidden in these myriad worlds? You might not encounter them even after several attempts, but doing this will probably lead to your death sooner or later.

More importantly, Qi Ping felt that most living beings were living individuals, just like when he was a junior cultivator and his companions who fought alongside him. They all had their own pursuits in life, and he respected these states. If Qi Ping were to kill and enslave these beings one by one, he would be unwilling from the bottom of his heart, even though it would conform to the rule of the survival of the fittest.

But Qi Ping really didn't like it!
As for why it's the majority, it's because some people, some creatures, truly deserve to die!

Qi Ping had no interest in talking to these people. He could just grind the damned guys to dust and deal with them without hesitation. He had never been lenient in this regard. In addition, in terms of the number of lives and blood feuds he had committed, he was one of the top figures on the Star Sea Continent.

But most importantly, compared to invasion, Qi Ping preferred farming, development, and making money!

And what's the best way to make money? It's honey, with its various magical properties. Human elixirs are renowned throughout the heavens and the myriad worlds, so you can imagine how much money honey, which is no less effective than elixirs, can generate.

The most remarkable thing is that the number of bees can be increased on a large scale as long as resources are sufficient, so as to stably produce a large amount of honey.

Once the farming and medicinal herb cultivation industries in the Nine Realms of the Star Sea develop, coupled with a powerful group of bees, their earning power will probably be even more terrifying than a money-printing machine!
As a druid, he can seriously study farming.

As long as the market in all the heavens and myriad worlds opens up, he can continuously collect all kinds of rare spiritual herbs, pill formulas, and knowledge about pills. The honey-making ability of the bee colony will also continue to improve, thus further increasing his ability to accumulate wealth.

With enough money, there's no resource in the myriad realms that can't be obtained. This allows him to continuously strengthen the Star Sea Continent and enhance his power as an Earthly Immortal Druid, laying the foundation for his exploration of the world and his pursuit of true immortality.
This kind of cultivation life is what Qi Ping enjoys most! He also feels it's much more comfortable and safer than those guys who invade and plunder at the drop of a hat.

This is Qi Ping's vision for the future, but it's only a temporary idea and plan. There are still many problems to solve, such as how to build trading channels, whether there is the strength to deal with those who covet the market, and how to find those worlds that need to trade, etc.
There are just too many problems to solve.

Moreover, the most important thing now is to resolve the crisis between Tianlong Continent and the Demon Clan. Otherwise, if he can't even get through this hurdle, he will have to wander the heavens. Before he finds a world that is willing to recognize and accept him, he won't even be able to farm properly.

Those incomplete small worlds don't even have the ability to generate high-level resources. Even if Qi Ping is a druid, he still needs to rely on the natural power of the world itself, and cannot generate the power to cultivate high-level spiritual herbs out of thin air.

Therefore, the only way to protect the Star Sea Continent, where he has gained sufficient recognition and achieved the status of a terrestrial immortal, is to first preserve it. Then, he can slowly develop and accumulate power.

When the development and accumulated power of the Star Sea Continent reach a bottleneck, and he needs more knowledge and resources to seek the next breakthrough, he will begin to exchange resources from all realms for resources honey, once he has the ability to protect himself.

Step by step, slowly conquering all the worlds with honey!

Qi Ping's greatest reliance in achieving all this was naturally the honey-making ability of the Golden Marrow Bees.

So, looking back, some of the alchemists on the Star Sea Continent who wanted to refrain from touching women and fine wine before surpassing the Golden Marrow Bee, and who even declared they wouldn't become the head of the Pill Pavilion before that, are likely to regret it later.

Qi Ping could only shake his head helplessly at this; the oath had already been made, and it was too late to remind him!
However, this is a good thing for both the Nine Realms of the Star Sea and Qi Ping.

Qi Ping wasn't afraid of these promising people; he was afraid of them being unambitious. After all, it wasn't him who didn't touch women or drink fine wine.

Qi Ping shifted his gaze from the group of alchemists back to the little azure dragon that had just completed its breakthrough, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

An unexpectedly powerful lightning tribulation, but it also created the strongest animal companion of all!
Because Qi Ping could clearly sense that the azure dragon in front of him, although not yet at the Void Refinement stage, already possessed power comparable to the Void Refinement stage!

What's even more enviable is that this powerful, legendary azure dragon, after completing its breakthrough, lowered its head to Qi Ping's front and affectionately nuzzled his arm.
(Thanks to all the big shots for the monthly tickets!!! You guys are even more handsome than Daniel Wu!!!)
