Calabash Fairy

Fang Yan slowly walked to the crystal yellow beehive placed under the Phoenix Spirit Pear Spirit Root, but the spirit bees that used to diligently collect honey were nowhere to be seen.

The beehive was now open, and a fist-sized ball of peculiar honey, resembling a grayish-white cloud, was placed inside.

【Cloud Mist Spirit Honey: A unique spiritual ingredient brewed by spirit bees using the nectar of Cloud Mist Flower, which blooms from the spiritual roots of Cloud Mist Fruit. It is full of spiritual energy, has a sweet taste, and a unique texture like cotton】

Several years have passed since Fang Yan restored the Queen Bee to life and placed the beehives here. The Queen Bee has also produced a second type of spirit honey besides the amethyst honey.

Fang Yan could sense that at this moment, the spirit bees and the spirit queen in the deepest part of the beehive were falling into a deep sleep, their bodies shimmering with spiritual light, and their aura was slowly and steadily increasing.

Nourished by the spiritual energy of the Qingfeng Secret Realm, and fed on the abundant pollen and nectar of the spiritual flowers in the spiritual fields, this group of spirit bees, led by their queen, is beginning to undergo a transformation.

Once successful, the quality of the honey produced by the spirit bees will surely be further improved.

"Previously, the Queen Bee, who possessed spirit, was not very intelligent. Although she could understand simple commands, she was unable to communicate. Hopefully, this transformation will bring some change..."

Fang Yan took out an empty jade bottle, and with a wave of his hand, the cloud-like spirit honey in the beehive flew out quickly and poured into the jade bottle. The spirit-containing beehive also slowly closed up amidst flashes of spiritual light.

He glanced at the jade bottle in his hand, which resembled a cloud of gray-white mist, and gently lifted it towards a row of neatly arranged medicine cabinets not far away. The jade bottle flew quickly and landed in the medicine cabinets just like the other spiritual honeys.

More than two years have passed. As the incense offerings at the Mountain God Temple continue to accumulate, the area of ​​the Qingfeng Secret Realm has expanded outwards again, reaching a radius of 380 feet, and the spiritual energy has become increasingly abundant.

The extra several dozen feet of space made the Qingfeng Secret Realm appear even more spacious.

The previous layout of the secret realm was simple, and Fang Yan had placed the spirit field in the center simply to save trouble.

However, if the current layout is maintained, as the secret realm continues to expand, there will be more and more empty spaces, wasting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the secret realm that is almost as dense as spiritual mist.

Furthermore, when Fang Yan was selecting spirit seeds, he also discovered that many spirit seeds have unique growth conditions and the spiritual power they contain after they mature, so they cannot be planted in the same spiritual field indiscriminately.

If the spiritual field is divided into multiple sections like a garden, and various spiritual roots are cultivated separately, the area of ​​the spiritual field will not only expand significantly, but also cultivate more spiritual roots.

That was his original plan, and he had a rough outline, but there was another, more important matter at hand, which is why it was delayed.

Fang Yan opened his palm, and a small golden seal fell into his hand in mid-air, while streams of divine incense continuously flowed in from all directions.

The Mountain God Seal appeared to be unchanged from before, but Fang Yan knew that its power had increased immeasurably compared to two years ago.

Moreover, this seal now possesses sufficient foundation, and is drawing ever closer to its transformation...

Xiahe Village, Yang Family.

Yang Xiaochuan stood in front of Yang Sheng and Xu Hu, and said somewhat helplessly:

"Father, Brother Xu Hu, just as Third Brother predicted, this is the fourth dispute this month, and they almost came to blows. Those hooligans must be involved in this too."

Now that the villages have been merged, these scoundrels have also been gathered together. Unexpectedly, these lazy good-for-nothings have started to form gangs and cause trouble behind the scenes. Relying on the fact that they have gathered more than twenty people, they are trying to "show off" to Yang Sheng, as if they want to dominate the village.

Upon hearing this, Yang Sheng and Xu Hu both sighed helplessly.

Although most of the villagers in Xiahe Village are kind, there are bound to be all sorts of strange birds in a big forest.

Although these people's behavior seemed so foolish, it did cause a lot of trouble for the villagers. The fact that more than twenty hooligans got together really emboldened them.

Xu Hu stood up and faced the two men, saying:

"Village Chief, Xiao Chuan, it looks like I'll have to go and have a good 'talk' with them again. You can't reason with these guys."

Yang Sheng nodded slowly, stood up together, and said to Xu Hu:

"Thank you for your help."

Although he came from a Confucian background, neither his ancestors nor he himself were pedantic scholars. In Yang Sheng's view, principles should be explained to those who can understand them, and there is no need to explain principles to those who cannot understand them.

Xu Hu nodded emphatically, determined to make these scoundrels stay at home for a year and a half to teach them a lesson!

But just then, a panicked cry suddenly came from outside!

"Something terrible has happened! Village Chief!! Brother Xu Hu!!! Someone's going to die!!"

The three people in the courtyard were taken aback upon hearing this and all came out of the courtyard.

......................................

East of Xiahe Village, outside a small courtyard with a bamboo fence, came continuous, heart-wrenching wails.

*Smack!*

"Ah!!! My arm is broken!! My arm!"

"Grandma! Please! Please stop!!"

"ah---"

Before the courtyard gate, Qiu'er's face was full of anger. She held a long purple whip in her hand and lashed it at the group of men in front of the gate.

More than twenty men were whipped by a long whip, screaming and rolling on the ground begging for mercy!

The villagers who were still in the village nearby were attracted by this scene. They gathered in twos and threes and watched the scene with surprise. The bloody scene they had expected did not appear. Although the whip cracked loudly, it did not leave a single mark.

But the men's pitiful wails didn't seem fake; they sounded very strange...

In the fenced yard, Grandma Qiu watched this scene with some helplessness, but she never stopped her and let Qiu do as she pleased.

She still remembered what the immortal master said when he left.

Although Qiu'er was her closest relative, the child's future was beyond her imagination, and she should not and could not use her own ideas to restrict or interfere with Qiu'er.

And these scoundrels actually said such offensive things to her granddaughter; they really deserved to be beaten!

When Yang Sheng and Xu Hu arrived, they saw more than twenty ruffians lying on the ground, convulsing in pain, but they didn't even have the strength to howl. Only groans echoed in the same spot.

Xu Hu looked at Qiu'er, who was still furious and had put away her whip. Qiu'er noticed their arrival and her face lit up with a delighted smile. She quickly ran over and said:

"Uncle Xu Hu, Uncle Xiao Chuan, Grandpa Village Chief, what brings you all here?"

The three of them looked at Qiu'er, whose face was beaming with an innocent smile, and for a moment their expressions became somewhat strange, as if they were seeing this girl they had watched grow up for the first time...
