"With the growth speed of Hundred Spirits Grass, as long as I rent a large enough place to plant a large amount of Hundred Spirits Grass..."

"In that case... not only will I no longer have to worry about the bee's food supply, but even if the soldier count increases several times, it won't be a concern..."

Qi Ping didn't expect that an ordinary spiritual medicine would directly solve the problem of his bee's food and military buildup!

"Indeed, you can't underestimate anything that seems insignificant..."

Who would have thought that the seemingly useless Big Belly Bee back then would turn into a rare talented Brewmaster Big Belly Bee? Had it been an ordinary Insect Master, they'd probably have crushed it immediately.

And this Hundred Spirits Grass, which was tasteless and seemingly useless, actually directly solved Qi Ping's dilemma of bee food and military buildup!

"Now the remaining question is whether the Brewmaster Big Belly Bee can purify and fuse the properties of Hundred Spirits Grass..."

"And how to test the best formula for sellable Hundred Spirits Honey..."

"If this Hundred Spirits Honey can be successfully tested and a formula is developed, I can truly make a fortune by selling spirit stones...."

The effect of the Hundred Spirits Honey doesn't need to be that great, as long as it can reach the normal Tier One low-level or approach normal Tier One intermediate spiritual medicine standards, it's more than enough.

The key is that Hundred Spirits Grass grows fast and is low-cost, so selling it is almost pure profit.

Moreover, there's an advantage that I don't need to worry about it being coveted. After all, what Foundation Establishment or faction would target such honey that might not even reach Tier One intermediate level?

As for those below Foundation Establishment, Qi Ping is willing to call them Gods of Wealth, especially after he completes the military buildup. Anyone below Foundation Establishment would die, and at worst, Qi Ping can escape without any problem.

"Moreover, the only risk is to avoid getting found out that the raw material of Hundred Spirits Honey is brewed from Hundred Spirits Grass. As long as the formula reaches a level where even my Great Brewmaster talent can't identify it, the risk can be eliminated..."

As long as this risk can be avoided, even if the effect is slightly lower, it doesn't matter.

...

After determining the path for future military buildup and making money, Qi Ping felt a sense of ease.

Now that half of the most troublesome problems are solved, what's left is to rent a good piece of spiritual land.

"Once I earn enough spirit stones, I can consider purchasing a third animal companion..."

"If I can acquire the formula for the Soul Nourishing Pill and the corresponding spiritual medicine, purchasing an Illusory Moon White Fox with divine soul, comprehension, and illusion talent would be good too..."

"Divine Soul Spirit Beasts are quite rare, and besides the Demon Insect King, this might be the only one I can find in Qingshi County. As long as I experiment with a suitable Soul Nourishing Pill related Soul Nourishing Honey, it wouldn't be impossible to consider it as the third animal companion..."

This would help enhance his divine soul, reduce breakthrough difficulty, and compensate for the bees' divine soul weakness.

However, Qi Ping might not necessarily purchase and contract the Illusory Moon White Fox. It still depends on future needs and opportunities. If there are more suitable and powerful spirit beasts, Qi Ping would also consider other options.

Anyway, the next tasks are to make money, build up forces...

And quickly promote either the bee colony or Yaya to Tier Two.

"As for that mysterious Alchemist mentioned by Boss Gao, if they have bad intentions towards me, then I'll avoid them for now, and use the Spiritual Origin Stone Pillar to push my animal companions to Tier Two, then find an opportunity to eliminate her..."

"Anyway, as long as she's not from the Cyan Origin Sect, there's no need to worry too much. Besides, I lack a legacy from an alchemist, and in the worst case, let the bees involved escape from the Qingtian Realm, which won't link back to me..."

If Boss Gao knew Qi Ping's current thoughts, he'd definitely be shocked out of his wits.

Even people from the three major families wouldn't dare make a move, but Qi Ping actually plans to directly kill her?

...

When Boss Gao went to get the Moon Sleep Flower, Sun Essence Flower, and Hundred Spirits Grass Seeds for Qi Ping, Qi Ping quietly waited in Boss Gao's Zhiyuan Trade Association.

And given Boss Gao's familiarity with the Cyan Stone Marketplace, it didn't take long before he collected everything for Qi Ping.

He spent a total of thirty-seven spirit stones and gathered a large batch of spiritual medicine seeds for Qi Ping.

The Moon Sleep Flower, Sun Essence Flower, and Hundred Spirits Grass are really not worth much money, only that Qi Ping wanted a large amount. Otherwise, a few spirit stones could buy plenty.

In addition, Boss Gao bought Qi Ping three of the most ordinary storage bags, at a discount of forty spirit stones each, costing Qi Ping a total of one hundred twenty spirit stones.

Now, Qi Ping has only a little over five hundred forty spirit stones left.

The rent for Zone B spiritual land usually ranges from three hundred to five hundred spirit stones, and with an added thirty percent to the rent, five hundred forty spirit stones might be a bit tight.

Thus, Qi Ping thought of the Black Bee Honey he had collected recently.

After selling these to Boss Gao, Qi Ping earned over fifty spirit stones, bringing his total to six hundred seven spirit stones.

In this way, Qi Ping is basically prepared to cover the rent needed for Zone B spiritual land.

After purchasing the necessary supplies, Qi Ping bid farewell to Boss Gao.

And as Boss Gao watched Qi Ping's departing figure, his gentle face also fell into contemplation.

He didn't know if Qi Ping could survive this turmoil, only hoping that the Disguise and Bone Shrinking Technique could be of some help to Qi Ping.

He believed that if Qi Ping survived, he could bring him considerable profits.

Boss Gao also knew that Qi Ping wasn't the type to get caught up in small matters. If Qi Ping truly becomes a powerful figure in the future, he could have the chance to follow and serve such a big shot.

Making allies with promising individuals and avoiding antagonism is Boss Gao's survival philosophy.

This has brought him considerable benefits. Otherwise, with his talent, it would have been impossible to cultivate to the Sixth-Layer of Qi Refining, and the Ninth-Layer might not be out of reach.

...

After leaving Zhiyuan Trade Association, Qi Ping did find the Cyan Stone Marketplace much busier than before.

Only there were many more unfamiliar faces among the crowd.

Qi Ping could easily discern these were cultivators from outside Qingshi County. This difference is something you can sense after living in Qingshi County for a while.

"It seems the Cyan Stone Marketplace might no longer be safe..."

"A mysterious alchemist alone has made the disciple of Cyan Origin Sect Elder, Meng Yan, quite apprehensive, let alone the other people of Qingshi County..."

"The trouble is indeed increasing, so I must be ever more cautious in the future..."

Thinking about this, Qi Ping just wanted to speed up and stay away from here for good measure. Even if I have to come, it must be after mastering the Disguise and Bone Shrinking Technique.

However, he restrained the urge to leave quickly, opting to depart the Cyan Stone Marketplace in a normal manner instead.

After all, appearing overly anxious might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

But when he was over ten miles away from the Cyan Stone Marketplace, Qi Ping sighed helplessly.

According to the bad news transmitted by the surrounding bee swarm: an enemy had followed him.

No matter how many times he changed course, they still pursued him, and the bees sensed a malicious and murderous intent.

The good news, however, was: the enemy was alone, with an aura estimated to be around the Eighth-Layer of Qi Refining.

Ultimately assessed as: a God of Wealth...

But even with such an apparently secure arrangement, Qi Ping still made comprehensive plans for combat and escape.

And once the enemy was dealt with, Qi Ping planned to transform into a High-speed Ring-cutting Bee to escape through unconventional routes and also have some bees carrying the storage bags escape separately, returning them to Qi Ping only after confirming safety, to avoid falling for a trap.
