Chapter 13 Little Alchemist: Golden Bee
After Qi Ping acquired the talent of [Brewing Craftsman], he could clearly feel that the effects of the golden marrow honey and the blood ginseng in strengthening the body and enhancing spiritual power had been purified and enhanced.

The reason why the Golden Marrow Bee can do this is not only because it has removed the impure elements in the blood ginseng, but also because it has integrated spiritual materials with special functions such as hundred-year-old pine oil and Chuyang Spirit Dew.

The Golden Marrow Bee has the talent of [Brewing Craftsman]. Its essence is to absorb the strengths of all spiritual medicines and materials and avoid their weaknesses. Through clever fusion, it creates the Golden Marrow Honey with the best effect.

"According to this principle, it should be no problem to use other spiritual herbs besides blood ginseng as the main material."

"The Golden Marrow Bee is simply a miniature version of an alchemist!"

After gaining a deeper understanding of the brewing capabilities of the Golden Marrow Bees, Qi Ping looked at these bees with dazzling golden color and admired them from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps there is still a big gap compared to those real alchemists, and the upper limit is probably within the Qi Refining Stage, but for Qi Ping, this is already very good.

Those precious elixirs, especially those that can improve physical fitness and cultivation, are all ridiculously expensive.

Even if Qi Ping sold the batch of blood ginseng he found, he probably wouldn't be able to fetch much.

Therefore, one can imagine the importance and value of a little alchemist, the Golden Marrow Bee, who can continuously brew honey to Qi Ping.

"But the Golden Marrow Bees also have limitations. They can only rely on their instincts to brew the best honey for their own group. If there are other spiritual medicines or spiritual flowers nearby, the effect of the honey they brew will also change."

"So if I want to brew honey with other special effects, I have to study them first."

At this time, the usefulness of Qi Ping's [Brewing Craftsman] talent was reflected. With this talent, Qi Ping could fully understand the principles and steps of the Golden Marrow Bees in brewing honey, because this talent was originally shared from the Golden Marrow Bees.

Therefore, as long as he takes the lead in researching and experimenting with the golden marrow bees, he can proactively produce honey with various special effects.

You can also try to research how to maximize and enhance the effects of a certain elixir.

"Perhaps I can also use the ability of the golden marrow bees and my talent as a brewing craftsman, and with the help of some alchemy knowledge, try to develop various honeys with special effects. As long as the development is successful, the golden marrow bees can slowly become my royal alchemists."

The only trouble is that the inheritance of alchemy knowledge is too precious. This top skill in the world of immortal cultivation is not something Qi Ping can access now.

What Qi Ping can do now is to get some general knowledge about elixirs and spiritual medicines.

In addition to alchemy knowledge, there may be another problem in the future, which is the bloodline restriction of the first-level intermediate Golden Marrow Bee.

This first-level intermediate bloodline is very powerful for Qi Ping now, but it is foreseeable that it will definitely become a shackle for the Golden Marrow Bee to continue to break through in the future.

With sufficient resources and the skill [Beast King's Blessing], it is not difficult for the Golden Marrow Bee to reach the late first stage, but it is more difficult to break through to the second stage.

If the Golden Marrow Bee cannot break through to the second level in the future, the effect of brewing honey will remain at the Qi Refining Stage. In this case, the role of the Golden Marrow Bee will be very small during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Although at that time, it was possible to use the honey-making ability of the golden marrow bees to earn spirit stones without worrying about being coveted.

However, Qi Ping is very optimistic about the future development potential of the Golden Marrow Bee's ability, so he still hopes that the Golden Marrow Bee can continue to grow.

The golden marrow bee is also Qi Ping’s first animal companion, so Qi Ping naturally wants them to go further with him.

"I'll think of a way to improve the bloodline level of the Golden Marrow Bee colony later!"

"Buzz buzz. (Boss, why are you looking at us like that?)"

"Buzz. (Is honey bad?)"

"Buzz. (No way, the boss's aura has clearly become stronger!)"

The Golden Marrow Bee saw Qi Ping looking at it so strangely that its little brain began to be confused.

"No, honey is good. I was wondering why you guys are so awesome!"

Qi Ping saw this group of lively little ones and praised them sincerely. "Buzz buzz. (Oh, boss, if you praise us like this, we will be shy!)"

"Buzz buzz. (As long as the boss likes it!)"

Hearing Qi Ping's praise, some golden marrow bees happily circled in the air.

After this episode, Qi Ping slowly began to enter a new life of cultivating immortals.

Every day, I raise bees, plant flowers, practice cultivation, and grow blood ginseng.
The pace of my life and practice is similar to before.

A bigger change is that before it was enough to keep a box of black bees, but now more advanced golden bees have been added.

Qi Ping therefore also needs to plant more flowers.

It also takes time and energy to cultivate blood ginseng, which consumes a lot of Qi Ping's mental and spiritual energy.

However, every time he saw news like [Druid Level Experience +1] and [Plant Growth Skill Experience +1], Qi Ping felt that the effort was worth it.

Not only are there gains from blood ginseng, but the druid's level and skill experience are also growing steadily.

This feeling of rewarding one's efforts is very satisfying to Qi Ping. It is much better than the previous situation where he worked hard but did not get much in return.

In addition to the increase in druid level experience and plant growth skill experience, [Beast King's Blessing Experience +1] will occasionally appear.

The increase in the experience of the Beast King's Grace is because after Qi Ping cultivated relatively sufficient blood ginseng, the effect of the golden marrow honey was continuously enhanced. With sufficient high-level spiritual medicines, the overall strength of the golden marrow bee colony was also gradually improved.

This is true whether it is individual strength or the number of bee colonies. The Golden Marrow Bees adore Qi Ping as their boss!

The enhancement of the overall strength of the bee colony is their greatest wish. Now this wish is being realized with the help of the boss Qi Ping!

"Buzz Buzz. (Boss, you are so talented!)"

This is what the Golden Marrow Bees have said most often.

However, even though the overall strength of the bee colony is constantly improving, the speed at which the Beast King's Blessing is increased is too slow compared to the speed at which level experience is gained, more than ten times slower.

……

Compared to blood ginseng, it is much easier to cultivate it on ordinary flowers.

Because it is spring, the humidity, soil and spiritual energy in the Yunwu Mountains are all quite good. It is an excellent living environment for ordinary flowers. They can basically grow as long as the seeds are sown, and there is no need to use plant growth skills.

The only thing you have to worry about is dealing with pests from time to time. Some insects, such as flower-eating insects and compound-eyed moths, can cause serious damage to flowers.

For these common pests, one only needs to manipulate the spiritual energy to kill them when they are discovered. Qi Ping is already very familiar with this.

Unless there is a large-scale insect infestation, all the flowers will be destroyed before Qi Ping has time to discover it.

This kind of large-scale insect pest is rare. Qi Ping has only seen it once in more than five years since he came here. When he discovered this situation, most of the flowers on the mountain had been eaten, and Old Man Zhou had to spend a lot of effort to save just a little bit.

The loss that time was quite large.

But now Qi Ping has the ability to communicate with bees. He has already told the bees that as long as there is an insect pest, they must find him first and notify other golden marrow bees to kill the pest together.

But compared to ordinary flowers, cultivating spiritual flowers is much more difficult...
