The taste of the True Meaning of Fire!
Qi Ping was absolutely not mistaken!
This means that the creator of this Cultivation Technique must have comprehended the True Meaning of Fire, and some of their insights are incorporated into this Magic!
With this, the value of this Magic to Qi Ping is immeasurable.
Moreover, this Flame Burst Technique, without Meng Yanâs explanation, Qi Ping knew he couldnât possibly afford it right now.
However, Qi Ping did not refuse or decline this Daoist Technique but solemnly accepted it instead!
"Thank you, Brother Meng, for the gift!"
Of course, he also understood that following these gifts, there would inevitably be battles requiring his participation.
He might even need to engage in life-and-death battles with the mysterious Evil Lovers Alliance, the Celestial Fire Pavilion, or even some people within the Cyan Origin Sect.
Yet, Qi Ping still chose to accept!
Through Meng Yan, whether obtaining a powerful Spirit Beast or acquiring these powerful and rare Daoist Techniques, they are crucial for Qi Pingâs journey on the Path of Immortality and acquiring comprehensive knowledge of Immortal Cultivation!
Although Qi Ping doesnât like doing dangerous things and doesnât want to fight easily, if thereâs a compelling reason, he isnât afraid to engage in battle.
If he feared all battles, why would he cultivate to be an Immortal?
Either he would one day be backfired by a Heart Demon, or his Cultivation and Laws would backfire on him. Does one think that becoming an Immortal is so easy?
Qi Ping also took this as an opportunity to hone his combat will and mindset.
Especially since Meng Yanâs conditions were impossible for Qi Ping to refuse! If he lost this chance, Qi Ping couldnât think of a better way to obtain these rare Cultivation Techniques and resources.
Most importantly, Qi Ping still held the initiative, much better than the involuntary state of a Sect Disciple, and Qi Ping was confident in his ability to escape.
Even when facing a Foundation Establishment, as long as Qi Ping used the Beast Kingâs Flame, Flame Burst Net, and Wood Shield Technique to withstand the first wave of attacks, a swarm of tens of thousands of bees could allow Qi Ping to regain the initiative and immediately Transform into a Bee and retreat.
The strength of the defenses depends on Qi Pingâs understanding of the True Meaning of Fire and how well he could cultivate these three methods.
...
When Meng Yan saw Qi Ping accepting the Jade Slip of the Flame Burst Technique, a slight smile appeared on his face.
What he feared was Qi Ping not accepting it.
Now that Qi Ping had accepted it, he was relieved.
He then took out a Spirit Fruit and two seeds from his Storage Bag, saying:
"This is a Tier One High-Level Spirit Fruit, the Red Dragon Fruit, which pairs well with this Flame Burst Technique, and these two seeds are of the Fire Rain Flower. These are the only things I have on me for now..."
Faced with these two items, Qi Ping also did not hesitate to accept them.
After handing the two items to Qi Ping, Meng Yan slowly spoke about what he wanted Qi Ping to do next.
"Recently, the Sect assigned me a mission: a pair of Demon Cultivators, known as the Black and White Double Assassins, have entered Qingshi County, and I must find their tracks and eliminate them."
"These two are twin sisters, both at the Ninth-Layer of Qi Refining, with highly refined combined battle techniques and extraordinary skills. I once fought against them and almost fell into their trap, but they ultimately escaped..."
"Due to pressure on the Cyan Origin Sectâs high officials from various forces, the higher-ups are now mostly in a state of silence. Currently, in Qingshi County, only I can take action."
"Recently, I have traced a hint of their tracks, but I am not very confident, and they may have teamed up with some others, so I hope Brother Qi can assist then!"
In the face of Meng Yanâs request, Qi Ping didnât hesitate at all and agreed.
"Two at the Ninth-Layer of Qi Refining? No problem! Just notify me in advance with the Communication Jade Talisman!"
Having already promised, he would naturally do his best.
In battle alliances, often, itâs not about right or wrong, but about life and death. Moreover, the Cyan Origin Sect is currently on the invaded side, the strong preying on the weak is also the Path of Nature.
"Good! With Brother Qiâs assistance, this battle will surely be a victory!"
Seeing Qi Pingâs expression, Meng Yan knew that the twin female Demon Cultivators he just mentioned did not bring much pressure to Qi Ping.
Meng Yan was certain that Qi Ping, apart from Yaya, must have extraordinary combat power!
...
After discussing the enemyâs specific situation and the current state of Qingshi County with Meng Yan, Qi Ping bid goodbye.
From Meng Yan, Qi Ping learned that the current situation in the Qingtian Realm is that the Cyan Origin Sect is being pressured by multiple major forces for some profound reasons.
Currently, multiple forces, including the Celestial Fire Pavilion and the Evil Lovers Alliance, are united in pressuring the Cyan Origin Sect.
The result is that the Cyan Origin Sect has strictly limited Golden Core Stage cultivators from taking action, and even Foundation Establishment Level cultivators face certain battlefield restrictions, a status quo tacitly acknowledged by high-level leaders on both sides.
Now, many disciples have entered the Qingtian Realm, engaging in slaughter and contention under the command of various high-ranking officials.
But what exactly theyâre contending for, even Meng Yan doesnât know. His master also keeps silent about it.
He only knows that all factionsâ disciples entering are pawns, following the orders and commands of the Sectâs high-level officials.
Even Meng Yan suspects that the high levels of each faction may not have consistent goals, not baseless speculation but a hypothesis drawn from summarizing complex information.
Amidst such a backdrop, Meng Yan sensed a strong crisis, prompting him to consider forming an alliance with someone not on any factionâs chessboardâQi Ping.
Itâs the only way he could think of protecting himself.
Discovering Qi Pingâs Talent and hidden strength, he was overjoyed.
He didnât expect Qi Ping to have any significant impact on this situation or earn him any great merit; he just needed someone in the shadows to help him through survival crises.
Meng Yan had little interest in such disputes and, if possible, would prefer to smith quietly and pursue his own Path of Immortality!
Even finding that Qi Pingâs Talent might surpass his, Meng Yan didnât mind, or rather, he was quite happy. What he needed now was a powerful ally not on the chessboard! To jointly confront various dangers! If the high-level officials are playing a big game, why canât he play a small one?
Geniuses in the world are many, mediocrities even more so, comparing talents is meaningless.
What truly matters is to walk well on oneâs own Path of Immortality!
Enlighten the Dao Heart! Tread to the pinnacle!
...
After parting from Meng Yan, Qi Ping quietly Transformed into a Bee, secretly rushing back to the twenty-ninth peak.
Everything on the peak was as usual, the bees were busy as ever, collecting nectar, making honey, clearing weeds...
It seemed they were more like pure Spirit Farmers than Qi Ping...
As Qi Ping sat under the ancient pine, looking at the Jade Slip in his hand, a smile he couldnât suppress spread across his face.
"The gains from this trip are truly beyond expectations..."
