Chapter 182
Qi Ping had considered the codename “Bee Daoist” for a long time before finally deciding on it. Because in the future, when he accepts and participates in Mysterious Black Market missions, his use of the swarm would inevitably be exposed.
If that was the case, he might as well directly use the bees as his ability’s codename, thereby downplaying his other characteristics and hiding his true strength.
[You think I’m only good at controlling bees? That’s just the tip of the iceberg! You’re not even qualified to see how many bees I have or how many types there are.]
Anyway, Qi Ping would never truly reveal the actual number of bees in his swarm or the variety of species. His other powerful animal companions, like the Stone Essence and Crow, or his own personal strength, were his real trump cards.
Later on, after Qi Ping successfully transitioned to cultivating the Five Elements techniques and completed the Five Elements Scale Armor plus formation inscription, that would be his greatest source of confidence.
Of course, a key factor was that currently, no one knew Qi Ping had the ability to control a second-level swarm. Only a few people closest to him knew he possessed Gold-Marrow Bees.
But Gold-Marrow Bees were incredibly common in the cultivation world, and there were countless ordinary Black Little Bee keepers. So no matter what, it couldn’t be traced back to him.
Unless someone investigated every single beekeeper across the entire Qingtian Domain. If such a widespread manhunt were to happen, it would cause too much chaos, and the orthodox sects would probably intervene directly.
“But most importantly, my territory has long been hidden away. Even if someone wanted to investigate, they wouldn’t be able to find me.”
