The three heroes in colors—Blood Armor Bee, Golden Armor Bee, and Jade Armor Bee—felt quite extraordinary at the second stage.

Qi Ping thought that if they could successfully transform, their talent traits should be impressive. If one or two of them could succeed, it would yield a remarkable bee species.

All three heroes successfully transformed, which Qi Ping never anticipated, and it was a complete surprise.

However, what delighted Qi Ping the most were the talents and traits of the three heroes in colors.

After days of testing and communicating with the bees, Qi Ping fully tested out the talents and traits of the three heroes in colors:

The first is the jade-green bee:

[Species: Apothecary Bee (Golden Marrow Bee variant)]

[Bloodline: Tier Two Low Level]

[Talent: Medicinal Intuition, Brewing Artisan, Honey Lover]

Medicinal Intuition: Has an exceptionally keen intuition for the properties of spiritual medicine, capable of easily extracting different properties from spiritual medicine and merging them with others.

Brewing Artisan: Has a natural talent in brewing honey, able to turn pollen into honey, and even brew honey from some spiritual medicines, effectively extracting and purifying medicinal properties.

Honey Lover: Has a strong interest in honey brewing, enjoys researching various types of honey brewing, and loves to try different types of honey.

[Evaluation: A born honey brewing expert, capable of creating honey with amazing effects! (Apothecary Bee: Leave the honey research to us!)]

Among the eight transformed bees, Qi Ping is most satisfied with the Apothecary Bee.

Although the Apothecary Bee's combat power is quite lacking, its functionality is incredibly strong!

Not only does it surpass the Brewing Big Belly Bee in medicinal fusion and honey brewing, but it also lacks the low intelligence drawback of the Brewing Big Belly Bee.

It even has a keen interest in researching the brewing of honey!

To describe the Apothecary Bee as a born honey brewing expert is an understatement.

"It seems I can save myself the trouble of researching honey formulas in the future; I just need to leave it to the Apothecary Bee."

"As long as there are enough varieties of spiritual medicine in my territory, I can surely develop some surprising honeys..."

Whether for cultivation, body refining, healing, spiritual power restoration, or enhancing the Bee King, Qi Ping doesn't mind any effect.

Perhaps it could even brew something with incredible effects.

Overall, the Apothecary Bee holds great value for Qi Ping.

The second is the dark golden bee.

At first, Qi Ping thought it was of the gold attribute, but after testing and communicating with the bee itself, it turned out to be of the earth attribute...

[Species: Earth Armor Bee (Golden Marrow Bee variant)]

[Bloodline: Tier Two Low Level]

[Talent: Earth Element Affinity, Thick Earth Armor, Blast Tail Spike]

Earth Element Affinity: Has a very high affinity for earth attribute power, capable of easily manipulating and exerting earth attribute spiritual power.

Thick Earth Armor: The body is covered in a layer of earth attribute armor, providing high defense and slightly enhancing physical strength.

Blast Tail Spike: The tail has transformed into a special earth spike condensation and launching mechanism, able to shoot spikes with armor-piercing power, and explode upon hitting the target.

[Evaluation: Don't underestimate the bee's small tail spike, for it carries special attribute power, capable of causing great damage and depletion to physical body and spiritual power.]

Initially, Qi Ping was curious about the power of the bees' explosive tail spike, and it wasn't until he experienced it personally that he realized its strength.

It shot out at great speed from a distance, causing considerable depletion of spiritual power upon explosion, with the special earth attribute power being quite daunting even for Qi Ping.

If there were few, it would be manageable, but if there were many, it would definitely be a nightmare-level existence.

So, the combat power of the Earth Armor Bee is quite commendable.

Qi Ping finally has a bee with magic talents for attacking.

"However, the best approach is to combine with an array formation, having the Earth Armor Bees form a large earth attribute formation, making their attacks and firepower much more fierce..."

A simple earth attribute joint array is not difficult for Qi Ping now.

He can't craft exquisite arrays yet, but setting up a battle formation where they can connect and support each other is not too hard, albeit less effective, but it can still boost the Earth Armor Bee swarm's combat power by twenty to thirty percent.

The last one is the Blood Armor Bee, which had appeared from the start.

[Species: Blood Armor Bee (Golden Marrow Bee variant)]

[Bloodline: Tier Two Low Level]

[Talent: Strong Body, Bloodthirst, Blood Armor]

Strong Body: Physical strength, speed, defense, and other attributes are greatly enhanced, along with decent self-healing capabilities.

Bloodthirst: Enters a frenzy when injured, causing energy and blood within to launch a vicious attack.

Blood Armor: The body is covered in a layer of earth attribute armor, providing high defense and greatly enhancing physical strength.

In terms of combat capability, the Blood Armor Bee slightly disappointed Qi Ping.

It's not that the Blood Armor Bee is weak; rather, upon advancing to Tier Two, close combat has its disadvantages compared to ranged attacks for battles among Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"However, the Blood Armor Bee's strength is not bad; as a supplement to the Earth Armor Bee combat swarm, it adds diversity to their attacks."

"Moreover, the greater role of the Blood Armor Bee is in aiding the transformation of the Bee King. Once the Bee King inherits the bloodline power of the Blood Armor Bee, its physical quality will significantly improve..."

This holds great significance for the future.

Enhancing the foundational quality of the Bee King not only boosts the swarm's combat power but also increases its transformation potential, especially when assimilating the Demon Insect King's bloodline, greatly raising the success rate.

Overall, the transformation status of the Apothecary Bee, Earth Armor Bee, and Blood Armor Bee among the three heroes in colors has left Qi Ping very satisfied.

"For the future, I'll primarily focus on cultivating the Apothecary Bee, Earth Armor Bee, Blood Armor Bee, and Highly Poisonous Bee, using them as the main bloodline for absorption and transformation, while scout bees and balanced bees will be rotated in support."

This combination can maximize the transformation potential of the Bee King.

Overall, Qi Ping is very satisfied with this cultivation effort, and the entire swarm has been particularly excited these past few days.

"However, for now, the primary focus should be on cultivating the Earth Armor Bee, with Blood Armor Bee, Apothecary Bee, Highly Poisonous Bee, and Scout Bee being cultivated in small numbers for the time being..."

Qi Ping's four Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars have almost depleted their spiritual energy after prolonged use, likely able to cultivate at most two to three hundred Tier Two bee species.

The spiritual energy provided by the Star Spirit Wood (Spirit Gathering Technique) is relatively limited, and it's challenging to support large-scale bee swarm and spiritual medicine cultivation.

Therefore, once the spiritual energy from the four Spiritual Essence Stone Pillars is exhausted, Qi Ping needs to either find a cheap but high spiritual energy alternative for making spiritual fertilizer, or find a suitable Micro Spirit Vein Essence for personal cultivator use.

The Spirit Vein Essence is the core of medium to small-sized spirit veins, allowing the earth vein to continuously generate spiritual energy, guarded by major sects with array formations.

For instance, the Spirit Vein Essence of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is guarded by a Golden Core level array of the Cyan Origin Sect.

However, Spirit Vein Essences occasionally appear on the market, with the Micro Spirit Vein Essence corresponding to the Qi Refining stage spiritual energy, some even only at the mid-stage Qi Refining level.

The cultivation and promotion difficulty of the Spirit Vein Essence is extremely high, requiring substantial resource investment, making the price of Micro Spirit Vein Essence not particularly high.

Of course, it's also not cheap, with market value ranging from thirty thousand to two hundred thousand spirit stones.

With Qi Ping's current financial capability, if he sells all the honey accumulated during this period, along with his spirit stones and the spoils from Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he can afford the lowest grade of Spirit Vein Essence.

Previously, Qi Ping hesitated to purchase a Spirit Vein Essence due to insufficient power and spirit stones, and the cultivation difficulty of the Spirit Vein Essence being extremely high.

In terms of value, it might even be more convenient and easy to make spiritual fertilizer.

However, Qi Ping suddenly realized that the Druid skills [Tree Spirit Contract] and [Natural Sanctuary] seemed to accelerate the growth of the Spirit Vein Essence.

Because just after Qi Ping had the bee swarm complete their transformation, the abundant Druid experience fed back from the transformed swarm was enough for Qi Ping to advance to Level 6 Druid.

Upon advancing to Level 6 Druid, in the Tree Shepherd profession side, he could choose a skill called [Natural Sanctuary].

Qi Ping had long decided to select this skill, but didn't realize until now that the combination of [Tree Spirit Contract] and [Natural Sanctuary] could accelerate the growth of the Spirit Vein Essence!
