A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 408 - 358: Cyan Thunder Bamboo (Part 2)
This is the dilemma of Spirit Wood cultivation; perhaps the reason why few in the Immortal Cultivation Realm choose to spend significant effort in nurturing Spirit Wood is because of this—rather than slowly selecting through immense effort and resources, it is far better to directly purchase a Spirit Wood of the same level.
How could anyone be like Qi Ping, who could cultivate any sufficiently spiritual one into a Tree-man Warrior, or even potentially into a Spirit Monster?
When the strongest and most promising ones are chosen, Qi Ping then selects them to contract as his Lifebound Spirit Wood.
"Cyan Thunder Bamboo is of the Thunder Attribute; based on its growth direction, in the future it should follow the path of controlling Thunder, entities like Purple Thunder, Golden Thunder, or even the terrifying Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and Seven-Colored Divine Thunder..."
"Well, that’s not bad!"
The power of Thunder is something Qi Ping doesn’t have, and perhaps this power could be useful in the future.
While thinking, Qi Ping quietly left a mark and imbued some power into this Cyan Thunder Bamboo.
Since it’s confirmed that this Cyan Thunder Bamboo has a chance to grow to the Immortal Level, he naturally wouldn’t allow any accidents to happen.
"Then I should take this opportunity to travel across the entire Qingtian Realm, and for every Spirit Wood that’s marked as spiritual, let Lin Yue handle it and move them all to the Cyan Origin Mountain Range for cultivation!"
After making the decision, Qi Ping’s figure disappeared from there.
As for the siblings Chang Qing and Chang’e, after informing Lin Yue, he would naturally know what to do.
In the Skill of Controlling People, Lin Yue’s methods are currently the best known to Qi Ping in the Qingtian Realm!
Previously, when Lin Yue was at the Cyan Origin Sect, even while appearing laid-back and taking both sides, he quietly controlled the entire Qingtian Realm, and under him were numerous cultivators loyal as Death Warriors, an ability that is simply outrageous.
The only issue is that Chang’e’s physical condition seems very poor, as she started coughing uncontrollably just after using her talent for a short while.
...
After Qi Ping left, Chang’e couldn’t control her violent coughing even more.
"Sister, go rest! I will handle the rest!" Chang Qing looked at his sister with utmost empathy.
Although he is still quite young, he already bears the responsibilities of an elder brother, and his sister is his only relative.
He couldn’t stop his sister from helping him, but he would never let her exhaust herself to the point of collapse.
"Okay, then I will rest! I still have some of the Spiritual Medicine that predecessor gave, it’s okay!"
Chang’e knew her body needed rest, so she obediently sat down and began to channel a Wood Attribute Technique with nurturing and healing effects.
She couldn’t force herself to the point of exhaustion and cause her brother to worry.
This Cultivation Technique she had practiced to Perfection, and under the influence of this healing power, her physical condition gradually recovered.
Unfortunately, the origin of her body was damaged too severely, beyond what ordinary Spiritual Medicine and Cultivation Techniques could heal.
After a while, once her body calmed down, Chang’e adjusted her physical state back to normal; she was already accustomed to this occasional bodily malfunction.
Over the years, her body frequently endured pain akin to being gnawed by countless insects, but by now she had already adapted.
"Brother, when do you think Bee Daoist will start searching for those special Spirit Woods?"
"Hmm... It should be soon, right? The policy says it will be checked every five or six years, I think it should be about time!"
"How many Spirit Woods do you think Bee Daoist will select from us? If the chance is three to four times higher than the announced policy, we will be rich! Contribution Points can be exchanged for so many things!"
Thinking of this, Chang’e couldn’t help but look forward to the arrival of that day.
As long as they receive enough rewards, they won’t have to struggle so much.
Especially Chang Qing, the burden and pressure he has carried over the years she has always seen with her own eyes.
"There should be quite a few! Our abilities can certainly cultivate more high-quality Spirit Woods!"
Thinking of this, Chang Qing’s eyes also couldn’t help but glimmer with hope; this day he had waited too long for, and he wouldn’t mind exposing his abilities just to seize this opportunity to acquire something to heal Chang’e!
Moreover, over the years, as he has become more familiar with the Qingtian Realm and Bee Daoist, his trust and reverence for Bee Daoist have grown deeper...
...
The developments that followed did not disappoint the siblings Chang Qing and Chang’e.
With Qi Ping’s abilities, he quickly completed the inspection of all Spirit Woods, marking those with spirituality, and handed this marked map over to Lin Yue.
At the same time, Qi Ping instructed to reasonably gather the siblings Chang Qing and Chang’e into the Cyan Origin Academy, assigning them specifically to the selection and cultivation of spirit species.
After receiving Qi Ping’s instructions, Lin Yue naturally treated it as a decree, immediately dropping some of his current tasks to focus entirely on this work.
Soon, a grand decree for Spirit Wood collection was announced.
Subsequently, one Spirit Wood after another was bought at generous prices and transplanted onto the Cyan Origin Mountain Range.
Meanwhile, the rewards promised in the policy were distributed, instantly sparking an unprecedented festivity and climax in the Qingtian Realm.
"I casually planted ten Tier One Lower Grade Spirit Woods in front of my house, and two were actually selected!"
"Me too, I just planted some around my Spirit Medicine Field and three got selected! Now I have resources to cultivate to Mid-stage Qi Refining!"
"Damn, I regret it, my yard is so empty, I didn’t plant anything! I feel like I missed out on ten thousand Spirit Stones!"
"No, I must start planting right away! Anyway, selling them when they’re grown won’t be a loss!"
...
Encouraged by these rewards, a new wave of Spirit Wood planting surged through the Qingtian Realm.
The wave of tree planting that had gradually calmed down was once again ignited!
Countless spirit fertilizers and spirit seeds began to pour in from outside the Qingtian Realm.
This time, almost every available nook and cranny was utilized for planting!
Renting a Spirit Field for planting required consideration, but if it’s just utilizing corners and edges, it’s definitely a guaranteed profit!
For a time, the number of Spirit Woods in the Qingtian Realm surged again!
Seeing this, Qi Ping was naturally pleased, not to mention that more Spirit Woods increase the chance of birthing Immortal-grade potential Spirit Woods; Spirit Woods themselves can give a positive feedback to the world, absorbing the essence of sun and moon, nurturing special spiritual powers beneficial to the world itself.
These would also accelerate the growth and strength of the Qingtian Realm!
It can be said that these years, under the thriving prosperity, the Spirit Vein, stability, and strength of the Qingtian Realm have been increasing at a terrifying speed.
Even the Loose Cultivators at the base level could clearly perceive that the Spiritual Qi has become much richer, and they seemed to cultivate a tiny bit more easily.
Such is the place of outstanding talents!
...
In this Spirit Wood collecting action, the most astonished were naturally the siblings Chang Qing and Chang’e.
As they listened to the personnel from Cyan Origin Academy tallying up the Spiritual Woods one by one, their hearts were filled with extreme nervousness and anxiety!
They weren’t sure how many there would be!
Until the final result was revealed, even the senior from Cyan Origin Academy responsible for the tally was dumbfounded, thirteen times!
Thirteen times higher than the normal probability!
"Thirteen times!?"
Chang Qing and Chang’e exchanged a look, both seeing endless joy in each other’s eyes!
Finally, their hard work has paid off!
But soon, they were greeted with even more shocking news, as the senior from Cyan Origin Academy came back to her senses and said:
"Your talent in Spirit Plant cultivation is exceptional, now our Cyan Origin Academy invites you to become our internal Spirit Wood cultivation experts. Your achievements will be announced throughout the entire Cyan Origin Academy, and you will also receive corresponding level permissions and resources, monthly salaries..."
"Do you accept?"
An unexpected windfall descended, leaving the siblings dizzy with delight—they never expected to receive the kind of treatment only those renowned geniuses in the Qingtian Realm could earn!
But after coming to their senses, they were filled with uncontrollable joy!
"We accept! We accept!" Chang Qing and Chang’e exclaimed excitedly in unison.
