Chapter 89: Ten thousand! Can I kill the foundation-building ones?

"There are now more than 500 larkspur plants planted here. Normally, a first-level spiritual land will mature once a season."

"In places with more spiritual energy, it can mature in just over two months, and in places with less spiritual energy, it will take about four months. In general, it matures about once every three months or more."

Qi Ping is currently calculating the specific carrying capacity of his spiritual land.

He took two mature larkspurs and tried to let the bees make honey. After testing, he found that the honey made from one lark could support the consumption of about fifty fighting bees for a month.

This means that the honey produced from one hundred stalks of lark grass can support the consumption of five thousand fighting bees for one month, and three hundred stalks are needed for three months.

"However, since we have planted more than 10,000 ordinary flowers, and more than 100 Moon Sleeping Flowers and Sun Essence Flowers, when combined with the Lark Grass, it will not be a problem for the Lark Grass's carrying capacity to be doubled."

"That means that three hundred larkspurs and the flowers on the mountain can support the consumption of nearly ten thousand fighting bees in three months at their limit, which is exactly 60% of the number of larkspurs."

"Then the other two hundred larkspurs plus the morning dew collected by the bees and the honey brewed by spiritual creatures are the net income."

"So how many bee species should I breed?"

Qi Ping was a little hesitant about the number of bee colonies to be bred.

If you cultivate more bee colonies, their combat effectiveness will be higher, but you will earn less spirit stones.

After thinking for a long time, Qi Ping finally made a decision:

Ten thousand!

He wants to breed 10,000 fighting bees!

Four thousand high-speed ring-cutting bees!
Two thousand black-armored bees!

Two thousand highly poisonous bees!

Two thousand balanced bees!

Three thousand brewer bees!

Eight thousand purely fighting bee species, three thousand purely honey-making bee species, and two thousand bee species that can both fight and make honey!
Ten thousand fighting bees are the number Qi Ping wants. They can be responsible for collecting pollen and elixirs for the brewing bees.

There are five thousand honey-making bee species, which are usually responsible for making honey. This number is more than enough to brew spiritual medicines and nectar for Spiritual Land No. 29.

However, if the nearby spiritual land No. 28 is included, there must be more than 5,000 bee-brewing species to produce the lark grass that is produced in large quantities in both places.

Once he takes over the spiritual land No. 28, the honey produced by the lark grass grown there will be pure profit for Qi Ping!

Because Qi Ping currently has more than 10,000 bee species of various types, plus the initial 1,000 ordinary golden marrow bees, daily needs will consume about 80% of the output of Spiritual Land No. 29.

Therefore, Qi Ping must own both the 28th and 29th spiritual lands at the same time to ensure that the benefits of the bee colony are maximized!
"It's decided, this is the number! Thirteen thousand first-level advanced bees!"

Among them, there are 10,000 bee species with powerful combat capabilities!

"I just don't know if I can kill 10,000 of them in a formation to build my foundation?"

This doubt arose in Qi Ping's mind.
Among these ten thousand fighting bee species, there are high-speed cutting bees with super-strong cutting blade wings. Their speed is no less than that of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and may even be faster.

There are also black-armored bees with super strong physical defense and powerful bite force. There are also poisonous bees with super strong toxicity!
The Balance Bee's attributes in all aspects are also not bad, and its combat power is no less than that of other first-level advanced spirit insects.

"Judging from the current battle results, whether it is the Qi Refining Level 7 Black Robe Tribulation Cultivator who used the sword formation, or the Qi Refining Level 8 Black Robe Talisman Cultivator, neither of them has a strong ability to resist the bee swarm's battle formation siege. They can only kill dozens to a hundred bees. The gap between them at the Qi Refining Level 9 will not be particularly large."

"Although the Foundation Establishment Stage is much stronger than the Qi Refining Stage, it is still not to the point where it can ignore the ninth level of Qi Refining cultivators. In other words, ten thousand fighting bees theoretically have a chance to kill an ordinary Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator."

Then Qi Ping made another careful comparison and found that there was a high probability that 10,000 special combat bees would fight to the death to build the foundation, but in this case, the loss of the bee colony would definitely be enormous.

Depending on the strength of the foundation-building cultivator, it is possible that thousands or even tens of thousands of bee swarms would be killed.

It would take Qi Ping at least several months to breed so many fighting bee species.

Therefore, unless fighting with a Foundation Establishment cultivator can bring huge benefits that can cover the losses of the bee colony, it is better not to get into a conflict. Moreover, there is the risk of not being able to kill a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"But you don't have to use the trump card, but you definitely can't have it!"

"With 10,000 fighting bees, I can not only compete with the foundation-building warriors, but also ordinary foundation-building warriors will not be able to stop me if I want to escape."

After making up his mind, Qi Ping focused his main energy on blood ginseng.

In the cultivation of Fire Spirit Grass, Qi Ping only plans to cultivate enough Fire Ginseng Honey and Fire Spirit Body Tempering Honey for his own use, and use the rest of his energy to support the bee army explosion for the time being.

After completing the explosion of troops, Qi Ping estimated that he would have reached the late stage of Qi Refining. With the improvement of his cultivation, his speed in cultivating spiritual medicines would be much faster.

After that, you can slowly consider letting the bees transform into the second level or letting the crows break through to the second level.

But these are not things that can be accomplished in a short period of time, otherwise there would not be so few foundation-building cultivators and second-level spirit beasts in Qingshi County.

Therefore, increasing the number of bee colonies is the fastest way for Qi Ping to have the strength to compete with the foundation-building cultivators within a few months.

The number of bee colonies he has set now is also the number that Qi Ping thinks is most suitable for the 28th and 29th territories. It can not only ensure strong combat power, but also allow Qi Ping to earn abundant spirit stones.

As for how many spirit stones can be earned, it depends on the brewer Big-Belly Bee's brewing results with the Lark Grass.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the moon sets and the sun rises.

There is no time in cultivation. In the blink of an eye, day after day has passed.

Peak No. 29 is also changing day by day.

First, all the trees and bushes on the mountain, except for the ones that Qi Ping had instructed to be left behind, were cleared away by the bees, and then burned into ashes by the crows and mixed into the soil.

Except for the trees and bushes, the entire mountain is covered with soft black and yellow soil, without any green at all.

But it does not seem desolate. Instead, it contains endless hope like the seeding season.

On the black and yellow land, there are always many bees working hard, weeding, sowing and watering.
Gradually, as the days passed, dots of green began to grow on the dark and yellow land, covering the entire mountain.

Then, the tiny sprouts turned into lush green seedlings.

After that, the seedlings grew rapidly.

Some of the common flowers that grow fast, under the nourishment of the rich spiritual energy, quickly grow luxuriant branches and leaves, and bloom colorful flowers.
While Qi Ping was practicing and cultivating spiritual medicine, he was also carefully observing and feeling every change on the mountain, and experiencing the rules of heaven and earth contained therein.
On the twentieth day after entering the No. 15 mountain, Qi Ping finally confirmed that the black-robed talisman cultivator he had killed did not pose any danger or strong enemy, and asked the bees to take back the storage bag.
