When the Brewer Big Belly Bee began making honey using the fifty combinations of Spiritual Medicine that Qi Ping had set up, Qi Ping started studying the liquid version of the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill.

Without any delay, after adjusting his state, Qi Ping began the extraction of Spirit Medicine Essence according to the Spiritual Medicines on the Pill Formula.

However, after starting the extraction of Spirit Medicine Essence, Qi Ping quickly discovered something different from before.

"The extraction of Spirit Medicine Essence seems to be easier, and the speed has increased quite a bit..."

After extracting the essence of multiple Spiritual Medicines, Qi Ping could basically confirm that, for extracting Spirit Medicine Essence, the extraction ability of the Wood Flame Technique's spiritual power was higher than that of the Wood Shield Technique's spiritual power. It was not only easier, but also faster, and it consumed less spiritual power.

Gradually, Qi Ping began to notice the different effects of various spiritual powers during the extraction of medicinal properties.

"Wood Attribute Spiritual Power improved the precision during Spirit Medicine Essence extraction..."

"Fire Attribute Spiritual Power, on the other hand, enhanced the speed of Spirit Medicine Essence extraction and reduced the difficulty of extracting medicinal properties..."

"No wonder they say that having both Wood and Fire Spirit Roots is the best qualification for becoming an Alchemist. Even just in the extraction of Spirit Medicine Essence, there are so many advantages over other spiritual powers, not to mention the more difficult fusion of medicinal liquids, fire refining, and Condensing Pill..."

"Other Spirit Roots, if they want to follow the path of Alchemy, must put in even more effort, whereas Wood and Fire Spirit Roots have quite a bit of an innate advantage..."

"It's no surprise that Alchemists have special cultivation techniques and comprehensive alchemical methods like fire refining and fusion..."

However, Qi Ping was not very interested in the cultivation techniques specifically created for Alchemy. He valued his own cultivation foundation more.

Only by establishing a solid, stable, and rapid improvement in his cultivation can he have a better chance of reaching higher realms.

"I don't aspire for alchemical methods; I just need the fusion method for medicinal properties and more Pill Formulas to determine more suitable plans for the Brewer Big Belly Bee to try..."

Due to the reduced difficulty of extracting Spirit Medicine Essence, Qi Ping quickly completed the extraction of twenty portions of Spiritual Medicine.

However, the subsequent fusion of Spirit Medicine Essence was the most difficult.

Due to the fusion process of fire refining and Condensing Pill being vastly different from ordinary Spirit Medicine Essence fusion, Qi Ping, with his limited knowledge, could only rack his brains to set up multiple fusion plans for Spirit Medicine Essence.

Unfortunately, luck did not favor Qi Ping this time.

In the subsequent fusions...

The first attempt... failed!

The second attempt... failed!

...

The fifteenth attempt... failed!

The sixteenth attempt... succeeded!

...

The twentieth attempt... failed!

After the twentieth failure, Qi Ping's face looked almost as dark as a coal ball.

"****!"

Although not all twenty attempts failed, it was close to total failure.

Because the only successful fusion product, when Qi Ping eagerly tested its effect, was found to be less than 20% of the normal efficacy of a Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill!

Qi Ping initially thought that even 40% or 50% could barely be acceptable, but what can 20% efficacy do?

It's better to directly refine the Fire Spirit Grass!

"Alas... I overestimated myself!"

After trying, Qi Ping realized just how difficult it was to create a medicinal liquid formula. It was something that a novice like him in Alchemy couldn't concoct.

Even sharing the Great Brewmaster's talent did not make a difference.

Qi Ping even felt that the one time he succeeded was because the Great Brewmaster's talent enhanced his acuity in spirit medicine fusion; otherwise, he wouldn't have succeeded even once.

"But thinking about it, this makes sense... Almost every Pill Formula and medicinal liquid formula is the result of countless Alchemists' and Pharmacists' trials and efforts, and not something I could easily modify."

"This time, I was truly bold due to ignorance! It seems I need to be more cautious in the future, not be blindly confident, especially in matters involving personal safety, which should never be taken for granted!"

"There are so many mysterious and powerful things in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and I am probably far from being able to protect myself. Caution and prudence are necessary to survive..."

This attempt served as a wake-up call for Qi Ping.

After this experience, any pride that had arisen in Qi Ping's heart was thoroughly suppressed.

The loss of twenty portions of Spiritual Medicine was a small matter; each portion was small in quantity, so the loss was minimal.

What Qi Ping truly feared was losing his life in the future due to overestimating himself!

In the time that followed, Qi Ping adjusted his mindset, no longer focusing on modifying Pill Formulas, but instead concentrating on cultivating Fire Spirit Medicine and practicing the Wood Flame Technique.

The most important things were to cultivate the Fire Spirit Grass to a hundred years of efficacy and to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

With an improvement in the Cultivation Realm, the enhanced synchrony of spiritual power and Divine Soul would allow him to use the Plant Growth Skill more frequently, thus accelerating the cultivation of Spiritual Medicines.

As for the experiments in medicine fusion, Qi Ping decided to leave them to the Brewer Big Belly Bee.

"Let professionals handle specialized tasks, leave specialized matters to the expert bees!"

The honey produced by ordinary Golden Marrow Bees is not bad, and honey brewed from Blood Ginseng is much more effective than directly refining Blood Ginseng. With multiple spiritual objects fused, the quantity of the brewed product will also increase.

Moreover, the Brewer Big Belly Bee is an enhanced version of the Golden Marrow Bee's honey-making ability, much more outstanding in honey production than ordinary Golden Marrow Bees.

The effect of honey made by the Brewer Big Belly Bee, using the same raw materials, can sometimes be several levels higher than that produced by the Golden Marrow Bee.

It's worth noting that honey brewed by a Golden Marrow Bee already significantly boosts performance, and the effect of Brewer Big Belly Bee honey, further improved from that baseline, indicates its powerful honey-making capability.

So Qi Ping had considerable confidence in the Brewer Big Belly Bee; even the worst outcome would be much better than directly refining the Fire Spirit Grass.

Thus, with expectations for the final results from the Brewer Big Belly Bee, Qi Ping patiently spent the next week or so dedicated to cultivating Fire Spirit Grass and practicing the Wood Flame Technique, his cultivation steadily improving during this time...

...

A little over a week later, the Brewer Big Belly Bee finally brewed all of the fifty combinations of Spiritual Medicine set by Qi Ping into honey!

"Finally all done!"

Looking at the neatly arranged hundred portions of honey in the honeycomb, Qi Ping couldn't help but feel a bit excited. The true honey-making capability of the Brewer Big Belly Bee was about to be revealed at this moment.

This was Qi Ping's first real test of the Brewer Big Belly Bee's honey-making ability.

"A hundred portions of honey, just right!"

Qi Ping had prepared fifty sets of Spiritual Medicine combinations for testing, and each was being tried by two Brewer Big Belly Bees to minimize the possibility of individual variation.

As of now, each set was successfully brewed, which was a rare achievement.

Such a success rate was far higher than that of Alchemists.

But now that the success rate was established, the next step was to evaluate the overall effect.

"Yaya..."

Upon hearing Qi Ping's voice, Li Fire Crow quickly flew down from the treetop, looking curiously at Qi Ping.

Its master rarely called for it without reason, so there must be something important happening.

"Try this hundred portions of honey and see what's different!"

Qi Ping said, placing all hundred portions of honey, divided into two, before Li Fire Crow.

"Honey?"

Li Fire Crow's eyes showed a puzzled expression.

Since when do crows like honey?

But it obediently listened to Qi Ping and began tasting it.

Yet, before trying a few portions, its eyes suddenly lit up.

"Caw caw... (What's with this rich Fire Attribute Spiritual Power?!)"
