Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 123 The Secret of the Spirit Bees, Cleverly Obtaining the Honeycomb

The two entered the huge bear den. Although the area was spacious, the smell was so strong that it was unbearable.

Chen Qian cast several breathing spells in succession, which dissipated most of the pungent smell in the air, making the two of them feel much better.

First-tier demonic beasts have not completely broken away from the ranks of wild beasts. Although they are a little smarter than ordinary wild beasts, their intelligence is still limited.

They don't have the habit of cleaning or tidying up their houses.

Therefore, there is no decoration or layout in the cave; it is just like an ordinary wild animal den.

The two searched the place thoroughly but found little of value, only a few first-tier spiritual materials and a few herbs that shimmered with spiritual light.

These are all varieties that don't exist in the Grey Pearl world, so it's better than nothing.

"Brother Chen, come and see what this is!" Yan Ran suddenly poked her little head out from behind a boulder and called out to Chen Qian.

"Hmm?!" Chen Qian was overjoyed. Could it be that he had made an unexpected discovery?
He put away the spiritual materials and herbs and walked over quickly.

Behind the boulder, there was a narrow path that seemed quite secluded, its destination unknown.

Chen Qian activated his Divine Eye Technique to the fullest extent and looked into the path, but it was already late and the cave was poorly lit, so he couldn't see anything.

He silently sensed for a moment and noticed a faint airflow passing through the path, indicating that it was not a closed path.

His innate divine soul did not sense any danger.

"Come on, let's go inside and take a look." Chen Qian reached out and took Yan Ran's hand, the warmth of his palm making her cheeks flush.

Chen Qian raised his hand and cast a spell to illuminate the path ahead, and the two of them ventured into the path.

After walking a few steps and turning a few corners, the light became brighter and brighter. After walking a while longer, the view opened up and we arrived at a small valley.

Surprisingly, this place is a hidden paradise, with lush green grass and blooming flowers everywhere, making for a beautiful and pleasant landscape.

They could faintly hear a buzzing sound in their ears, as if a swarm of insects was appearing.

"Be careful!" Chen Qian raised his hand and cast a golden light spell on Yan Ran.

Although he did not sense any danger, Yanran was far stronger than him, posing no danger to him, but perhaps not to Yanran.

The golden light technique circulated around Yan Ran, and a buzzing sound surged like a tide.

Countless tiny bees, no bigger than a thumb, rose from the flowers, their wings fluttering and creating tiny golden specks of light, like disturbed quicksand churning in the air.

These bees were crystal clear, with their abdomens swollen with translucent honey sacs, and their stingers gleamed with a faint silver light. Although they were densely packed, they did not seem to be highly aggressive.

"It's the Jade Dew Spirit Bee!" Yan Ran suddenly grabbed Chen Qian's sleeve, her eyes filled with surprise.

"According to the 'Hundred Insects Classic,' they are a precious bee species among first-tier spirit insects! The jade marrow spirit honey they produce can not only help demonic beasts temper their bodies and stimulate their bloodlines, but also help cultivators repair hidden injuries and stabilize their body cultivation foundation. It is quite valuable in the market!"

She pointed to the honeycomb in the distance, which was stacked like a pagoda. The honeycomb was made of beeswax with a pearly luster, and its surface was covered with round honey beads that reflected a soft halo in the night.

Chen Qian scanned the swarm of bees with his divine eye technique and found that they were merely circling the hive and had not launched an attack. His anxiety eased slightly.

“No wonder the Earthshaker Bear built its nest here; the real treasure is here,” he murmured, his gaze falling on the jade-colored stone pool beneath the beehive.

There was a thin layer of golden honey in the pool, faintly emitting an enticing sweet fragrance. Even the surrounding flowers and plants grew exceptionally lushly, nourished by the honey's aroma.

Yan Ran tiptoed and observed for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Chen, the Jade Dew Spirit Bees are gentle in nature. As long as we subdue the queen bee, we can try to take the entire swarm away!"

“The chalcedony beeswax they use to build their nests has the property of isolating spiritual energy. If we could remove the nest intact…” She suddenly paused, her cheeks slightly flushed, “Uh, such a big nest would really be difficult to remove.”

"If there is a suitable place with abundant spiritual energy, the spirit bees can continue to produce honey."

"Watch me!" Chen Qian rubbed his chin, his gaze sweeping over several larger worker bees at the edge of the swarm. Their stingers were thicker, and they were watching the outsider warily.

"Removing the hive directly will definitely disturb the bees, so we need to think of a way to distract them."

He took out several incense pills from his storage bag; they were the insect-repelling incense he had previously purchased from the Hundred Storage Pavilion. "Use the incense pills to disrupt their senses, and you take the opportunity to use your spirit communication technique to soothe the bees while I go retrieve the hive, how about that?" Chen Qian asked thoughtfully.

Yan Ran pondered for a while, feeling there was a certain chance of success, and nodded in agreement. He then made a hand seal with his fingertips, and a soft emerald light emanated from his body.

Chen Qian lit the incense pill, and a wisp of smoke slowly spread out, drifting towards the Jade Dew Spirit Bee swarm.

The swarm of bees gradually became restless, but then quieted down amidst Yanran's soft chirping.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Qian used his lightness technique to approach the beehive like a ghost. The moment his palm touched the beeswax, he felt a warm and gentle spiritual energy fluctuation.

He held his breath and exerted his strength, and the entire beehive slowly detached from the rock wall as if it were alive. A few drops of beeswax dripped down and rippled in the stone pool below, but did not disturb the bees.

"It's a success!" Yanran exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

Chen Qian quickly brought the beehive into the Gray Pearl World.

The swarm of bees instantly sensed the disappearance of the queen bee's presence and immediately erupted into chaos.

Chen Qian remained calm and composed, extending his divine sense as far as possible to continuously send the swarming bees into the gray bead world.

After collecting the bees, Chen Qian also dug out the small stone pool under the original beehive and collected it as well.

There's still a lot of spiritual honey inside; we can't waste it.

Yan Ran stared at Chen Qian in astonishment, wondering where Chen Qian had taken the beehive and so many spirit bees.

Storage bags cannot hold spirit bees, and although Chen Qian has a spirit beast bag hanging on his waist, it cannot hold a large number of individual creatures.

To raise spirit insects, one must have a special insect bag or spirit feeding ring. Yanran was not lacking in knowledge and experience in this regard, which is why she found it strange.

Then I thought again, Brother Chen is so powerful and mysterious, it's normal that he has methods I don't understand, so I stopped worrying about it.

"Brother Chen, this is an incredible opportunity! The Jade Marrow Spirit Honey will greatly help your body tempering."

She smiled sweetly, "Besides, this beehive is so big that we won't be able to use up all the spirit honey. We can become a millionaire just by selling spirit stones."

"Thanks to you this time." Chen Qian was extremely pleased with the great harvest and couldn't help but walk over to Yan Ran and pinch her delicate cheek.

"Huh? You bad guy! You're just bullying me!" Yan Ran turned around, and Chen Qian's sudden escalation of intimacy left her at a loss.

"Haha, sorry, Ran-meimei." Chen Qian had already included this little girl in his mind as one of his wives and concubines, and he couldn't control himself when he was happy.

“Sister Ran, it’s getting late. The scenery here is beautiful, so let’s stay here for the night,” Chen Qian quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, Brother Chen, please make the arrangements." Although Yanran is young, she has a wealth of experience and a good ability to regulate her emotions.

She was just embarrassed for a moment, and quickly returned to normal.

Chen Qian took out the table, chairs, and benches he carried with him, and also took out a barbecue grill. He cut off some of the fattest and most tender parts of "Big Bear" and started grilling the meat.

"It's a pity that my relationship with Yanran is still a step too far. Otherwise, I would go back to Xuanshu Villa now, which would be so comfortable."

With a sizzling sound, the bear meat dripped oil continuously, and a special aroma slowly wafted through the small valley, whetting the appetite.

Chen Qian then took out the Jade Dew Spirit Honey he had just obtained, picked out a thinly sliced, tender piece of bear meat, brushed it with the spirit honey, and handed it to Yan Ran.

The fire used to start these barbecues was made of highly flammable spiritual wood, and with the help of Chen Qian's magical power, the bear meat could be easily cooked.

Even if you use ordinary fire, you won't be able to cook the bear meat properly, no matter how long you roast it.

"Mmm! It's so delicious."

The moment the tender and juicy bear meat enters your mouth, the rich aroma of meat explodes on your tongue, accompanied by the sweet taste of honey, making even the most discerning gourmand want to swallow their tongue.

Yanran felt that she had never eaten such delicious meat in her life, and her satisfied eyes narrowed into slits.
