Chapter 349 The Hive
Wu Shaogan's gaze immediately fell on the "precious ginseng".
Zhong Cai raised the Qilin Nourishing Ginseng and placed it next to the beast fetus, then said with a smile, "Now things are great! Senior Blazing Sky Qilin will definitely be willing to buy it too, and we can make a fortune together."
Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "Then... congratulations to us?"
Zhong Caichao bowed to Wu Shaogan and said, "Congratulations!"
Then, the two looked at each other and laughed even more heartily.
·
Now, there is only one last guaranteed resource option left.
Four illusory figures, lined up in a row.
The resources in the three phantoms were all very ordinary, but there was one that made Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan fall silent.
It is a small and exquisite beehive.
Zhong Cai squatted down.
Wu Shaogan couldn't help but chuckle: "Ah Cai, were you spying?"
Zhong Cai pulled Wu Shaogan down and squatted down with him, both of them looking at the entrance to the honeycomb in the illusory image.
Because of the shadowy image blocking their view, they could only see with their naked eyes.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were no real bees inside, but rather what appeared to be bee eggs.
We just don't know how many bee eggs there are, or what kind of bees they are.
In any case, these bee eggs are definitely descendants of ninth-tier spirit bees, and their potential will inevitably be considerable.
After getting a clear look at the bee eggs, Zhong Cai rubbed his arms, which were now covered in goosebumps... It wasn't anything else, but the fact that he could vaguely see the larvae inside the bee eggs made him a little uneasy.
Wu Shaogan understood and helped Zhong Cai rub her arms, saying, "If you like this, have the puppets harvest the honey when it's ready, and let them feed and nurture it regularly."
Zhong Cai turned her head: "So you'll keep an eye on things for me all the time?"
Actually, he simply found those fleshy, wriggling insects disgusting, and seeing them unexpectedly was bound to make him feel a little uneasy. But having been in this fantasy world for so long, and even having killed living beings, he wasn't incapable of overcoming this discomfort.
However, with Lao Wu around, he doesn't necessarily have to overcome it!
Wu Shaogan rubbed his cheek and laughed, "Of course." He then pinched Zhong Cai's cheek and said, "The other three items are too ordinary, but the spirit bees can be raised to collect honey, which can be taken orally and often used in medicine."
Zhong Cai took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "Then let's choose it." He thought for a moment and added, "Later, you take out the bee eggs, and we'll take a look at them and see if we should raise them and how."
Wu Shaogan nodded and said, "Leave it to me."
·
The two agreed, and Zhong Cai indeed chose the beehive.
The beehive suddenly flew in.
Zhong Cai subconsciously took a step back.
Wu Shaogan couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to pluck the beehive off.
He didn't feel anything about the bee eggs, so he simply stuck his finger into the hive and took out one bee egg.
Just as he picked it up, Zhong Cai hurriedly said, "Old Wu, hurry! Put it here!"
Wu Shaogan looked over and saw that Zhong Cai had taken out a jade box and placed it on the stone bed.
Zhong Cai herself had already gotten off the stone bed and was standing to the side.
Wu Shaogan held back his laughter, and quickly placed the bee eggs into the box.
Then, he took out one, two more...
Zhong Cai secretly glanced at the box; there were seven bee eggs inside.
The number is actually not large, but that refers to ordinary bees and low-level bees.
These are the offspring of a ninth-order queen bee, and having seven of them is already a very large number!
only……
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan looked at each other, neither of them recognizing what kind of bee it was.
Wu Shaogan thought for a moment and said, "Shall we look through the classics and traditions we haven't finished reading yet?"
Zhong Cai nodded in agreement.
After all, the future use of these bee eggs needs to be carefully considered, so caution is necessary.
Before they figured out what it was, they dared not make any rash moves.
·
Now that the six attempts at the Golden Flame Pool for ten consecutive times were over, there was no need to choose anything else, so the two of them simply began to carefully browse through the remaining items.
The main source of information is information about rare animals, as well as some travelogues and secret stories.
As Zhong Cai flipped through the pages, she came across a tattered fragment of an ancient book—one of the level-nine resources that had been extracted in the past.
As Zhong Cai gradually turned to the later chapters, her fingers paused, and she poked Wu Shaogan again.
"Old Wu, look at this."
Wu Shaogan looked over.
Zhong Cai said, "Go and compare them. Are the bee eggs on these the same as those in the box?"
Wu Shaogan readily accepted the book.
·
The records in ancient books are somewhat disorganized and lack a clear pattern, but they are mostly ancient legends or detailed descriptions of ancient artifacts, which can greatly broaden one's knowledge.
The Zhong and Wu couple had so many valuable things and classic texts at their disposal, and they were usually too busy, so even though they spent a lot of time studying, there were still many things they couldn't learn in time. They could only gradually increase their knowledge and improve their understanding over the years.
This chapter records the secrets, while also explaining the treasures involved.
That treasure was honey from a kind of spirit bee...
The secret is:
In ancient times, a member of a small family accidentally obtained a bee egg from an ancient cave.
He was not valued in the family. This time, he and other members of the clan were asked by the family to go to a certain mountain range to find a contracted rare beast. Regardless of its level, if he could not gain the approval of any rare beast, he would be relegated to a side branch and his monthly allowance would be greatly reduced.
This young man's surname was Liang, and he was later known as "Young Master Liang." The highest level of cultivation in his family was related to beast taming, hence the requirement.
Young Master Liang was weak and was originally destined to fall into the side branches, but he happened to see the bee eggs, and with a determined heart, he directly made a contract with them.
After the bee eggs hatched, they were quite ugly, but Young Master Liang did not mind. These bees had saved his monthly allowance, so he treated them well in every way he could.
Later, the bee eggs grew, raised more bees, and produced a type of honey.
After consuming honey, Young Master Liang could feel that his strength was improving faster, and after consuming royal jelly, he even felt that his aptitude had improved slightly.
From then on, Young Master Liang continued to consume honey, and his strength grew day by day. He first received preferential treatment from the family's resources, then became the heir, and later the head of the family. At that time, he used the honey to cultivate his clansmen.
Later, Young Master Liang discovered even more wonderful uses for honey—if the collected honey is added to wine infused with tartrate, it will create a honey-infused beverage.
Different grades of honey correspond to different grades of alcoholic beverages.
Different grades of fermented wine are consumed by cultivators of the same level over a long period of time. After being refined, it can enhance the cultivator's profound power. Although the efficiency is not high, and the medicinal effect of a jar of wine is only two or three tenths of that of a pill, the taste is extremely delicious and much more enjoyable than a pill.
In addition, if it is mead made from royal jelly, there is a certain chance of enlightenment in a dream after consuming it. Some cultivators believe that this wine tastes better. After drinking too much, one person slept for three days and three nights and woke up to find that the bottleneck that had been hindering him for many days had suddenly been broken, and his strength was able to advance further.
Young Master Liang managed to find the wine stone and brewed countless wines, which he first sold through small channels and later turned into a family business.
As the Liang family grew and prospered, its social standing rose steadily, and talented descendants emerged in an endless stream.
As for Young Master Liang himself, he actually reached the Nirvana Realm because he made a contract with this bee!
This is because his innate aptitude was too poor, and no matter how much he tried to make up for it later, he could not reach his full potential.
After Young Master Liang's lifespan comes to an end, the bee's contract will be transferred to Young Master Liang's descendants, and it will continue to reside in the Liang family.
The Liang family has continued for generations, but as the family has lasted for so long, it is inevitable that some of its members will eventually become incompetent.
Later, a spoiled brat from the Liang family offended a prodigy who was in the late stages of his life. No one knows how this prodigy managed to secretly abduct the queen bee, causing the Liang family to lose its pillar industry.
Later, this queen bee accompanied the chosen one of heaven all the way up and down, and completed its final evolution, becoming a ninth-order queen bee!
The queen bee stayed with him for as long as that proud man lived.
After Tianjiao died, the queen bee also disappeared without a trace.
Occasionally, you might hear of someone finding the queen bee's offspring, but these stories are later proven to be false.
