A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 450 - 381: Gift

"What should we do? Stay here or escape? Or gather others for self-protection?" Ji Qingyue found herself unable to decide momentarily.

...

On the other side, within the Qingtian Realm, a smile appeared on the little Immortal Tiger’s face.

"Awoo... (Boss, I did it!)"

The little Immortal Tiger looked at Qi Ping with some pride.

"Are you okay?"

Qi Ping didn’t immediately care about the result of the calculation; instead, he looked at the little Immortal Tiger, whose eyes were red and whose breath was somewhat weak, with a hint of worry in his heart.

He had just seen the little Immortal Tiger go from a peak in momentum to this state in an instant.

But with the luck he manipulated for shelter and its own bloodline power, it shouldn’t have become like this. Could it be that the enemy was too powerful?

"Awoo... (I’m fine, boss, just a big consumption of bloodline. I’ll recover soon!)"

"Awoo... (Hehe, that Ji Qingyue got tricked by me and is now suffering from a significant celestial secret retribution and luck backlash!)"

Although the little Immortal Tiger’s momentum was a bit weak now, it couldn’t hide the excitement in its eyes.

This woman, Ji Qingyue, actually dared to help the Outer Domain Cultivator against the boss!

Betraying the Star Sea Continent was one thing, but dealing with its boss was an absolute no!

After all, the boss had been so good to it, so how could it not help the boss with what it did best today?

The tiger decided not to act, after all, it’s no sick cat!

"Awoo... (Now Ji Qingyue’s strength has dropped by at least ten to twenty percent... Here’s how it happened...)"

As the little Immortal Tiger recounted the events, Qi Ping understood what had happened.

Even though the little Immortal Tiger spoke lightly, Qi Ping could feel the thrilling and difficult nature of them.

To reduce the strength of Ji Qingyue, the true number one cultivator of the Star Sea Continent, by ten to twenty percent, how could it be easy?

This made Qi Ping feel a bit touched.

After all, the title of the number one cultivator on the Star Sea Continent was too resonant, yet the little Immortal Tiger tried its best to help him in its own way...

After finishing the situation of the celestial secret battle, the little Immortal Tiger also began to tell him about Ji Qingyue’s situation.

And the more he listened about Ji Qingyue, the more alarmed Qi Ping felt.

Ji Qingyue, a monster over thirty thousand years old!

Also the longest living cultivator currently on the Star Sea Continent.

Her current cultivation had reached Void Refining Perfection for many years.

But because of the limitations of the Star Sea Continent, she had yet to find the opportunity for breakthrough to Integration and had even ventured into the Sea of Realms to explore and battle...

Her cultivation, except for not reaching Integration, had already become incredibly profound, and she mastered many Void Refining level cultivation techniques and magic....

Besides, Ji Qingyue also had a very deep foundation and strategies against enemies at her base...

...

After hearing these things, Qi Ping couldn’t help but frown.

There was no doubt; this was a formidable enemy!

If this person came to Qingtian Realm, it was fine; Qi Ping could easily kill her here. But if it were somewhere else, with their current combat power, dealing with this person still had a certain amount of risk.

But in this situation, they had no choice but to face a head-on confrontation... because if they don’t take control of the entire Star Sea Continent, many of Qi Ping’s plans can’t be initiated, and hastily facing those even more terrifying foreign cultivators in the future, his odds would greatly decrease.

Although now Qi Ping also had a Spatial Secret Realm gradually built by the Void Fish, which allowed for an escape at any time, doing so would also forfeit the Earth Immortal Druid and Qingtian Realm’s strongest foundation.

"If I could comprehend a Void Refining level Spatial Array now, that would be great..."

Qi Ping couldn’t help but sigh, but the time was too short; it was simply impossible for him to comprehend such an advanced level of array right now.

Fortunately, this time the little Immortal Tiger took the opportunity during the celestial secret calculation to heavily wound Ji Qingyue; otherwise, the upcoming battle would have been much harder.

However, even so, Qi Ping had some confidence in his heart...

But just as Qi Ping was carefully thinking about how to better deal with Ji Qingyue, the little Immortal Tiger’s face suddenly showed a strange look, then looked at Qi Ping with an odd expression:

"Awoo... (Boss, we don’t have to think about how to deal with Ji Qingyue now...)"

"Hmm? What’s going on?"

Qi Ping looked at the little Immortal Tiger with full confusion.

"Awoo... (She ran away! She’s currently escaping the Star Sea Continent at an incredible speed, as if she’s very afraid we’ll chase her...)"

"What? Ran away?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ping’s face stiffened for a moment.

Well, after all that, she just ran away?

"Awoo... (Yes, boss... I just calculated that she seems to be escaping to a very far place, so far that I can’t even measure it... probably across the world barrier to some small world.)"

Qi Ping:....

...

While the little Immortal Tiger was saying these things, Ji Qingyue had already packed her things and, without caring about the consumption, continuously used the Great Transposition Technique to rush out of the Star Sea Continent.

Once she was far away from the Star Sea Continent, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Outside the Star Sea Continent, there shouldn’t be any Spatial Array set by that Bee Daoist, so there’s no way they can catch up to me..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Long Xing, you were not benevolent by keeping some cards up your sleeve, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Long Xing was the cultivator from the Celestial Dragon Continent.

When Long Xing made a contract with her, although he promised and guaranteed many things, he still left some room, such as assurances of her absolute safety.

So regarding this issue, Ji Qingyue also put forth her demands, which was that she had the right to escape in unfavorable battle circumstances; otherwise, if she had to fight to the death no matter the situation, what would she be helping for?

"Luckily, this old lady kept a reserve back then; now with the Bee Daoist prepared to attack early, the divination showed ominous; I’m not sticking around for that!"

When she was initially torn between staying and escaping, she decided to sacrifice some lifespan to calculate for herself, and she only dared to involve herself, nothing more, yet she still calculated a sign of great misfortune!

So Ji Qingyue immediately decided not to stick around, taking valuable possessions and preparing to escape to a small world she had previously suppressed. With the world barrier’s obstruction, neither Bee Daoist nor Long Xing could find her, and most importantly, she had planned to leave this war entirely; they would have to be overly idle to come after her.

However, to leave a bit of goodwill and consideration for the Star Sea Continent, she only took the most precious and high-level Spiritual Medicines, leaving many Spiritual Objects and Medicines behind.

She contemplated taking them but figured they weren’t super beneficial to her and thought leaving some help and leeway for the Star Sea Continent might be the final act of kindness.

As for who would discover these resources and where they would be used, it was beyond her control.

"This old lady swore a Heavenly Dao Oath to not assist Bee Daoist against Long Xing, but if I flee in panic and leave some irrelevant resources behind, that’s reasonable, right?"

"After all, even a breath’s time could endanger this old lady’s life!"

The more Ji Qingyue thought, the more she found no fault, and her Dao Heart didn’t shift in the least.

Yet she estimated that if Long Xing learned of her actions, he would probably want to kill her.

After confirming no issues or omissions, Ji Qingyue left the Star Sea Continent without looking back...

...

"Though it’s a bit baffling, it’s a good thing regardless, given that dealing with Ji Qingyue carried risks...."

Since Qi Ping’s real objective was never about killing for treasure but merely to gain control over the entire Star Sea Continent, allowing for the full play of Earth Immortal Druid’s power.

Now that Ji Qingyue had left, with the Star Sea Continent free of threats, he could proceed with his plans much more conveniently.

Just a period of smooth development ahead, and even if Ji Qingyue reaches Integration, she wouldn’t be feared.

Yet just as Qi Ping was nodding silently, the little Immortal Tiger suddenly said something that left him somewhat speechless...

"Awoo... (Boss, it seems Ji Qingyue left us a gift, a real gift... nearly the entire foundation on that Tier Six Spirit Vein is left behind...)"
