Chapter 42
Half a day later.
After personally escorting Old Man Zhou to the Fortune Trade Guild to reunite with Wang Shan and Fatty Zhou, Qi Ping finally set aside this lingering concern.
In the current climate, rogue cultivators were as expendable as weeds—returning to the mortal world was far safer.
Now, with no more worries holding him back, Qi Ping could fully focus on cultivating spirit herbs and raising his army of High-Speed Cutter Bees.
“Though Qing Stone County is dangerous now, with caution and a strong enough swarm, this could also be an opportunity—whether against demonic insects or rogue cultivators.”
“My advantage lies in insect control and rapid army-building through herb cultivation. High-Speed Cutter Bees are fast and can relay information from afar. I can always send a scouting party ahead to assess threats before deciding whether to fight or flee.”
Strike when possible, retreat when necessary!
“And if I prepare escape routes in advance, I’ll be even more secure.”
Though Qi Ping preferred a peaceful life of farming, he wouldn’t hesitate when pushed to the brink.
