After consuming honey, the aura of the Golden Marrow Bees gradually revived.

The first-generation High-speed Ring-cutting Bee, due to not having the Beast's Heart drain, only suffered from physical exhaustion due to continuous killing, but after a short rest, it was fine.

This made Qi Ping secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, there were less than two hundred Golden Marrow Bees that could maintain their peak condition, and the combat power of the entire swarm drastically reduced. However, as long as the first-generation High-speed Ring-cutting Bee was there, it was like having a small trump card in hand.

The recent performance of the first-generation High-speed Ring-cutting Bee was enough to demonstrate its formidable power.

With only one day remaining, Qi Ping had to be especially cautious, repeatedly instructing the Golden Marrow Bees and the Black Small Bees to monitor every corner of the entire mountain without omission.

On the final day, Qi Ping spent the entire day in anxiety.

To ease his inner worries and tension, Qi Ping could only try to distract himself by immersing his mind in the comprehension of the Plant Growth Skill. Although Plant Growth was a skill, this special law of accelerating plant growth truly existed in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. The improvement of the skill required Qi Ping to genuinely comprehend this law, and this state of understanding the rules allowed Qi Ping to feel somewhat at ease...

It's often the moment closest to success when one fears unexpected incidents the most.

Because failure at this point is the most regrettable; encountering such situations at the beginning or middle would be easier to accept.

Fortunately, after one day... nothing unexpected happened...

This made Qi Ping breathe a huge sigh of relief and feel extremely fortunate!

He finally made it through this period.

"The High-speed Ring-cutting Bee is formed!"

Looking at the batch of High-speed Ring-cutting Bees in front of him, with wings like sharp blades, Qi Ping's heart surged with intense joy and a feeling of bittersweet success.

Today, a total of thirty-two mature High-speed Ring-cutting Bees emerged, and in the following week, roughly thirty High-speed Ring-cutting Bees would form each day.

Starting from the second week, more than fifty High-speed Ring-cutting Bees would form each day, as Qi Ping decided to carry out the ring-cutting bee blast soldier strategy from the second week of the High-speed Ring-cutting Bee's cultivation. Before this, quite a number of Big Belly Bees and Balanced Bees were also being cultivated.

At this moment, every High-speed Ring-cutting Bee in front of Qi Ping exuded a powerful and dangerous aura!

Although their strength seemed slightly weaker compared to the first generation of High-speed Ring-cutting Bees, being only the second generation, the difference wasn't significant. They could basically replicate the combat power of the first generation High-speed Ring-cutting Bees entirely.

This was why Qi Ping had always been protecting the first-generation High-speed Ring-cutting Bees.

"With thirty-two second-generation High-speed Ring-cutting Bees born, plus one stronger High-speed Ring-cutting Bee, there's no need to worry about the Demonic Insect attacks for now..."

"Considering the previous strength of the Demonic Insects, such a number of High-speed Ring-cutting Bees, along with some Golden Marrow Bees, would be enough to easily kill all the incoming Demonic Insects..."

"Now let the other Golden Marrow Bees take the High-speed Ring-cutting Bees for battle array training. The combat power exerted by forming a battle array is much stronger than fighting chaotically..."

"Next, I can finally focus on cultivating Spiritual Medicine peacefully!"

This point was what made Qi Ping happiest, being able to steadily cultivate Spiritual Medicine and enhance his strength was wonderful!

During this period, he only managed to sleep during short breaks to recover his Spiritual Power; his mind was exceptionally exhausted from the intensive use of the Plant Growth skill. If he weren't a Cultivator, he'd likely have collapsed from exhaustion already!

This lifestyle is bearable for a while, like grinding in a game, but over time it becomes true torture.

If this went on for too long, Qi Ping suspected that even as a Cultivator, he wouldn't survive.

Persevering till now was due to the survival instinct in his mind, and the desire to become stronger.

...

Beside the Blood Ginseng cultivation site, Qi Ping was carefully inventorying the items in his Storage Bag, occasionally communicating with the large golden bee next to him...

"Currently, there's a considerable accumulation of Blood Ginseng, so for at least half a month, even if the blast soldier strategy continues, it can be supported..."

"So next, I'll cultivate a fifty-year-old Flowing Light Grass, then refine the Bloodline Mutation Potion to nurture the mutated bee swarm, and concurrently raise the Druid Level to Level Three..."

Reaching this step, Qi Ping felt much more at ease, as the steps of cultivating Spiritual Medicine gradually returned to a state that didn't harm his body.

Because when refining the Bloodline Mutation Potion, Qi Ping must maintain his peak condition.

Otherwise, in his current state of exhaustion, the probability of failure in alchemy would be over fifty percent.

And if he failed, even working tirelessly, it would take almost half a month to gather the necessary materials again.

This was something Qi Ping absolutely could not afford to let happen; delaying for so much time in such a situation would result in irreparable consequences, possibly costing him his life!

It's worth mentioning that the other ordinary ingredients needed for refining the Bloodline Mutation Potion were found by the Golden Marrow Bees, saving Qi Ping considerable effort. This was one of the advantages of having contracted bee animal companions.

"Well done!"

Taking the last ordinary ingredient from a Golden Marrow Bee's clasp, Qi Ping couldn't help but praise.

"Buzz buzz... (As long as the boss is happy!)"

....

After obtaining the last ordinary ingredient, Qi Ping lay down on the grass, guarded by the High-speed Ring-cutting Bees, and fell asleep. He hadn't had a proper rest for almost half a month.

Thus, even on the cold, hard ground, Qi Ping quickly slipped into dreamland.

However, Qi Ping didn't sleep soundly in his dream; he dreamt of being overrun by overwhelming Demonic Insects and elusive Tribulation Cultivators. Behind them were multiple Foundation Establishment Golden Core experts, disregarding the lives of ordinary Loose Cultivators in the Qingtian Realm, slaughtering until mountains of corpses and rivers of blood appeared.....and Elder Zhou, Sister Nan, Wang Mountain, the chubby Zhou, the skinny Li Peng...even Boss Gao, Meng Shanshan and others all lay in the blood pool with tragic appearances...

This despairing scene and the deaths of his friends jolted Qi Ping awake from his dream.

"Huff..."

Awakening to find it was all a dream, Qi Ping gradually relaxed his tense mood.

"Has my mind been too tense during this time? Why would I have such a dream..."

"Fortunately, my Spiritual Power has recovered quite a bit, so let's continue cultivating the Flowing Light Grass. Bringing it to its fifty-year stage is the priority!"

Immediately, Qi Ping skillfully used the Plant Growth Skill, injecting a stream of special energy that accelerated plant growth into the Flowing Light Grass.

Watching the Flowing Light Grass grow visibly, Qi Ping's heart gradually settled.

Nothing else mattered; the real task was to accumulate resources and enhance his strength, which was what Qi Ping was most willing to focus on.

Steadily farming and accumulating over time, he could gradually become a long-lived Great Cultivator!

Roughly during the next week, the Demonic Insects continued to appear every three days, but none could stir up trouble under the slaughter of the trained High-speed Ring-cutting Bees in battle formation. Instead, Qi Ping harvested quite a few Demonic Insect corpses.

This gave Qi Ping more confidence to purchase High Level Spirit Beasts.

A week later...

As Qi Ping infused the energy of the Plant Growth Skill into the Flowing Light Grass, and after a series of changes, strands of dark golden light appeared on the grass leaves... the Flowing Light Grass was ready!

The ingredients needed for the Bloodline Mutation Potion were finally gathered once again!

"Now it's time to see if the newly acquired talent from the mutation is impressive..."
