After bringing Sister Nan under the Ancient Fir Wood, Qi Ping returned to the Blood Ginseng field where he had prepared his herbs.

Now, the entire No. 7 peak was filled with his eyes and hidden power, so Qi Ping wasn't worried about being ambushed or encountering unexpected issues.

Unless the enemy's strength far surpasses his, this place is his main battlefield.

After taking three deep breaths, Qi Ping felt ready and began the crafting of the Bloodline Mutation Potion.

Qi Ping first started with the extraction of essences from common herbs.

He hadn't practiced alchemy in a long time, so he had prepared more than enough common herbs; starting here to regain his touch was most appropriate.

This step, he completed with ease.

"Not a single mistake?"

Qi Ping was somewhat surprised; he thought a lapse from not doing alchemy for a while was to be expected.

After completing the essence extraction of common herbs, it was time for the Spiritual Medicines...

To be on the safe side, Qi Ping decided to extract essence from some ordinary Blood Ginseng to familiarize himself with the process again.

After experimenting three or four times, every extraction was completely successful.

So Qi Ping didn't hesitate anymore and began extracting essence from the Centennial Blood Ginseng and the 50-year Flowing Light Grass.

In one smooth motion, he finally extracted all ten portions of herbs!

"Success rate reached 90%, and if it weren't for the sudden lack of Spiritual Power during the last herb's essence extraction, it would have been 100% success..."

"The Great Brewmaster's talent is unbelievably strong!"

"With my experience in Spirit Medicine Essence extraction, the probability of failure is almost negligible...."

This made Qi Ping somewhat regret the low intelligence of the Big Belly Bee, which could only instinctively brew honey and couldn't even communicate with him.

Otherwise, cultivating the Big Belly Bee into small alchemists would definitely earn him plenty of Spirit Stones.

"After this is over, I have to quickly improve my cultivation realm as well. Being at the Third-Layer of Qi Refining is still too low; even extracting Spirit Medicine Essential requires more Spiritual Power than I can sustain..."

"Hopefully, after contracting an animal companion, I can share some cultivation talent, or else I'll have to slowly grind to reach Foundation Establishment..."

...

After completing the Spirit Medicine Essence extraction, Qi Ping began absorbing Spiritual Power from Spirit Stones to speed up its recovery.

Once his Spiritual Power was fully recovered, Qi Ping immediately began the fusion work of the potions.

Perhaps Qi Ping was in a good state, or perhaps due to the Great Brewmaster talent, Qi Ping was seemingly divinely assisted in the fusion of Spirit Medicine Essences.

The fusion process was not only fast and smooth, but without any errors!

Qi Ping directly succeeded in fusing nine portions of Spirit Medicine Essence, achieving a 100% success rate!

Compared to the last time when he barely succeeded with five portions, the difference was huge.

"So powerful!"

Having experienced both talents, Qi Ping was now utterly clear about the gap between a Brewing Artisan and a Great Brewmaster.

Simply put, without the Brewing Artisan talent and without large batches of Spiritual Medicines to practice on, Qi Ping couldn't raise his skill to the level required to successfully craft the Bloodline Mutation Potion.

But with the Brewing Artisan talent, Qi Ping only needed a bit of training to achieve a decent success rate in potion-making.

The Great Brewmaster directly increased Qi Ping's alchemy success rate to near perfection. Qi Ping estimated that not just the Bloodline Mutation Potion, but for any Tier One potion recipe, as long as he familiarized himself with it for a while, he could likely achieve this result!

...

"Bloodline Mutation Potion is successfully crafted, the next step is the Metamorphosis Golden Marrow Bee + obtaining Druid experience..."

[Druid Level: lv2 (138/200)] → [Druid Level: lv2 (179/200)].

In the past week, Qi Ping had gained 41 Druid experience points, now only needing 21 more points to level up.

"Last time, the metamorphosed bee swarm gained 47 Druid experience points, so this time, the experience gained should be enough for a Druid level up..."

The only thing surprising Qi Ping was the high success rate of this alchemy, resulting in enough Bloodline Mutation Potion for over ninety male bees to consume.

And among the male bees in Qi Ping's Golden Marrow Bee swarm, excluding the mutated ones, only seventy-eight survived.

So Qi Ping chose seventy-five male bees as the targets for this mutation, leaving three male bees to continue the purest bloodline of the Golden Marrow Bees.

After selecting seventy-five male bees, Qi Ping didn't delay and immediately had them start consuming the Bloodline Mutation Potion.

"Begin!"

"Buzz buzz... (Yes, Boss!)" The male bees said excitedly in unison, missing the chance to consume the Bloodline Mutation Potion last time, but this time was finally their turn!

After witnessing the power of the successfully metamorphosed High-speed Ring-cutting Bees and Balanced Bees, they were even more eager for this opportunity.

If a new powerful bee species evolves, the swarm will certainly become even stronger!

"It has begun!"

Qi Ping watched as the seventy-five male bees consumed the Bloodline Mutation Potion and dispersed across the clearing.

As the intense blood-red and golden light began to appear on the male bees, Qi Ping's heart filled with a strong sense of anticipation.

Even more exciting than the previous bee metamorphosis.

Because this time, it not only concerned how powerful the mutated bee species would become, but also whether Qi Ping could gain enough level experience to awaken as a Tier Three Druid, and access the skill Wilderness Transformation.

Phase one, potion entering the body, enduring the violent medicinal power of the Bloodline Mutation Potion.

During this phase, thirty male bees burst from failing to withstand the medicinal power, while forty-five male bees successfully endured this stage.

"Death rate in the first phase turned out to be nearly half more than last time, is it because the relatively stronger male bees were already chosen last time?"

This inevitably made Qi Ping somewhat worried; this wasn't a very promising start!

Phase two, bodily mutation, to mutate complete aberrant organs or bodies.

In the last second phase, of the thirty-six male bees that passed phase one, twenty-three died in this stage, with a much higher mortality rate than phase one.

So when it came to the second phase, Qi Ping was even more worried.

"Thirty down! Only fifteen endured the second phase!"

Upon hearing the result, Qi Ping's face went dark.

The mortality rate was still higher than the last time!

Is this the outcome due to the relatively weaker bodies of male bees?

Phase three, merging the mutated part with the entire body and successfully advancing.

This step directly determined the final result.

How many male bees will successfully metamorphose will be decided here!

"Last time, of the thirteen male bees that reached the second phase, four survived the final stage. Hopefully, at least four of these fifteen also make it past this stage..."

After a period of anxious waiting, four auras of later Tier One successfully stabilized.

"Four successfully metamorphed, not bad!"

Qi Ping now had an urge to cry with joy.

Even if only four finally succeeded in metamorphosing, it was a success for Qi Ping!

Among these four successfully metamorphosed male bees, two were familiar to Qi Ping, remaining Balanced Bees.

This mutation could only be described as fairly standard, but as a fundamental bee species for future metamorphoses, having more Balanced Bees also had its advantages, offering more options.

Real delight was found in the last two males.

One, with a slender body and a sharp, powerful tail needle, was undoubtedly the Highly Poisonous Bee that Qi Ping had longed for!

"The Highly Poisonous Bee is finally here!"

The other one, however, was entirely enveloped in a layer of black...
