You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 118: Super swarm takes shape!

"Let's see how this Fire Glitter Honey recipe, which is modeled after the Fire Glitter Pill recipe, can achieve the same efficacy as the Fire Glitter Pill, with the help of spiritual medicine knowledge and the alchemist's pill notes."

Qi Ping really wanted to see if he had made any progress in setting up the honey formula with the help of his knowledge of elixirs.

The Fire Spirit Honey brewed based on the previous Fire Spirit Tempering Pill has more than 50% and less than 60% of the efficacy of the original pill.

The reason for pursuing this kind of medicinal effect is sometimes not only related to the issue of cultivation efficiency, but also to the issue of the upper limit of tempering.

The main reasons why elixirs are so precious in the world of immortal cultivation include the following:

The medicinal effect of elixirs can far exceed that of the spiritual medicine itself, and sometimes can even reach several times that of the spiritual medicine itself.

Pills can purify some of the messy and useless medicinal properties of the elixir itself, making it easier for practitioners to absorb directly, such as retaining only the medicinal properties of the fire flower that strengthen the physical body.

Pills can neutralize some highly toxic or violent medicinal properties and turn them into medicinal properties that can be absorbed by practitioners.

For example, although the Soul-Ferrying Flower can strengthen the soul, it contains terrible resentment, and the consequences of directly refining it would be disastrous.

The Soul-Ferrying Flower can only become a suitable pill for consumption after it is fused with the Buddha Heart Lotus and refined into the Buddha Heart Soul-Ferrying Pill.

The Buddha's Heart Soul-Transferring Pill not only inherits the effect of the Soul-Transferring Flower in strengthening the soul, but also has the effect of the Buddha's Heart Lotus in enhancing comprehension, and may even bring about an epiphany.

This is the true charm of elixir, one of the four arts of cultivating immortals.

So last time, the Fire Spirit Honey seemed to be able to retain about 60% of the efficacy of the Fire Spirit Tempering Pill, and it only needed to be taken one or two more times to make up for it.

But from the perspective of the upper limit, there is still a big gap.

In particular, some pills that contain special effects may disappear directly because their efficacy does not meet the standards.

However, honey brewed by bees also has a benefit that elixirs cannot match:

There is no erysipelas!

No erysipelas!

This effect is the key to Qi Ping's ability to refine honey in large quantities. As long as he solves the problems of superficial spiritual power and weak foundation, Qi Ping can consume honey without restriction!
This is an incomparable advantage.

You should know that most elixirs will produce elixir poison during the refining process. Once this elixir poison accumulates too much, it will cause hidden dangers in practice and it will take a lot of time to eliminate.

Therefore, even if some people have a lot of spirit stones and can buy a lot of pills, they cannot use them without limit. Otherwise, it will not speed up cultivation, but will destroy their own future.

This is one reason why Qi Ping is so obsessed with researching honey brewing recipes.

With his druid ability to grow plants, he could naturally have a large amount of elixirs to take. As long as he could research the best honey formula, he could take them in large quantities with basically no limit. It would also save a lot of time on alchemy, allowing him to have more time to practice and comprehend the true meaning of fire.

You have to know that alchemy is an extremely energy-consuming job. The reason why many alchemists have average combat effectiveness is that matters related to alchemy take up 50%, 60% or even more of their energy.

But Qi Ping's ultimate goal is to pursue immortality and make sure that no one in the world can threaten him. This conflicts with the alchemy technology that requires a lot of energy.

Therefore, if he could continue to cultivate the bees and let them make elixirs for Qi Ping, it would be the best option for him.

Compared with alchemists, formations are about studying and borrowing the power and laws of heaven and earth. The same is true for druids and cultivation. They are more similar in essence and more suitable for Qi Ping.

In addition, the powerful combat power and auxiliary capabilities that the formation master possesses with the help of formations, such as defensive formations and spirit gathering formations, are the most suitable for druids who need to build their homes.

"Let's try the honey brewed by directly copying the recipe of Huoyingdan first."

Qi Ping was the first to try the most authentic combination.

However, the final result disappointed Qi Ping. "It only achieved a little more than 50% of the normal efficacy, which is worse than the last time I used the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Honey."

"Sure enough, there are differences in the refining methods, and the formula must be changed accordingly. It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results by following the steps."

"It seems that if we want to create the most suitable honey formula in the future, we still need to combine spiritual medicine and alchemy knowledge, as well as the honey-making characteristics of the bee species."

But the second one soon gave Qi Ping a surprise!
"About 67% of the drug's effectiveness!"

"Sure enough! After adjusting the two spiritual medicines based on the knowledge of spiritual medicine neutralization and the experience of alchemy, the effect is indeed much stronger!"

This success directly gave Qi Ping great hope.

"There are still eight doses left. I hope a formula with better efficacy can emerge!"

With such anticipation, Qi Ping couldn't wait to try it carefully.

"The third dose, 61% of the efficacy is still okay!"

"The fourth dose is only 30% effective. It's too bad!"

"The fifth dose, 10% efficacy? But it seems to have some special effects, my lower abdomen is a little on fire."

After trying eight recipes, the best one was still the second one, which had the highest efficacy of Level 6.7 of the Huoying Pill.

“Although it’s a little disappointing, it’s actually not bad!”

"After all, I have just started to learn about elixirs, and I am limited by the scarcity of spiritual medicines. It is already very good to be able to reach this level!"

"As my knowledge of elixirs increases and spiritual medicines become more abundant, I will be able to slowly improve the effect of the honey formula!"

“This is a good start!”

Overall, this experiment has met Qi Ping's psychological expectations.

After determining the formula for the 67% honey, Qi Ping immediately arranged for the large-scale refining of the Fire Honey.

Improving physical strength also needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

As long as his physical body is strong enough, Qi Ping's cultivation will not only be more worry-free, but the upper limit of his Flame Explosion Body Technique will also be higher.

This type of physical skill requires too much from the body, but the advantage is that the upper limit is also very high, especially for Qi Ping.

Just when Qi Ping was cultivating a large number of spiritual medicines, something happened that made Qi Ping quite excited.

The number of fighting bees in the bee colony has reached ten thousand!
Four thousand high-speed ring-cutting bees!
Two thousand black-armored bees!

Two thousand highly poisonous bees!

Two thousand balanced bees!

And thanks to the advancement of the queen bee, the combat effectiveness of all bees bred later has almost increased by 20% to 30% due to the improvement of their overall physical fitness!
This is already stronger than the first generation of mutant bee swarms.

"The queen bee is indeed the core of the hive's battle. Its enhancement has brought about a significant qualitative change in the hive's combat power!"

With this queen bee, the future of Qi Ping's bee colony is very promising!

When Qi Ping looked at the 10,000 bees in the forest that were only slightly smaller than a fist, a smile of great satisfaction appeared on his face.
