A batch of Hundred Spirits Grass was planted by Qi Ping in an area with spiritual qi concentration close to Tier One Intermediate, and their growth cycle is about two months.
Now, one month has already passed.
Therefore, Qi Ping must research a way to completely remove the shadow of the Hundred Spirits Grass from the Hundred Spirits Honey within a month to confidently sell this type of honey.
Otherwise, if some family cultivators learn that Hundred Spirits Honey can be cultivated at such a low cost and with good effects, it may attract covetousness.
Given Qi Ping's current abilities in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, even if facing the three great families, he only has the chance to escape, at most retaliate, unable to guard his industry.
So, it's better to avoid trouble when possible.
...
After returning to the mountain peak, Qi Ping took out some Hundred Spirits Honey and carefully brewed it.
"This Hundred Spirits Honey, brewed solely from Hundred Spirits Grass, has removed the mixed chaotic medicinal properties and disordered spiritual qi, basically becoming pure spiritual power, retaining only a trait of cultivating spiritual power, somewhat similar to the Spirit-Storage Fruit..."
"In terms of effect, this purification level is estimated to be on par with some ordinary Tier One alchemists or pharmacists..."
"Now, this pure Hundred Spirits Honey, a bottle condensed from a plant, is estimated to be worth five to six spirit stones in the market..."
Recently matured Hundred Spirits Grass costs about half a spirit stone per plant in the market.
And Qi Ping's Twenty-Ninth Spiritual Land can only produce less than two thousand plants of Hundred Spirits Grass a year, meaning the value from the Hundred Spirits Grass itself is less than a thousand spirit stones.
Excluding rental costs, just from the Hundred Spirits Grass, Qi Ping could only earn around three hundred spirit stones, and that's without considering labor, seed costs, and planting risks.
This shows the low planting value of Hundred Spirits Grass.
If market prices fluctuate and a plant drops below half a spirit stone, I'm afraid even the rent can't be covered, and only the small Tier One Intermediate spiritual land can earn money.
"However, with the Brewer Big Belly Bee, it's estimated that an annual output of about 1,800 plants would be valued at nine thousand to ten thousand eight hundred spirit stones...."
"Now that I've rented both the Twenty-Eighth and Twenty-Ninth Spiritual Lands, if I plant all of the Twenty-Eighth plot with Hundred Spirits Grass, it's estimated that more than two thousand plants could be produced annually, adding up to four thousand plants from the two lands..."
"Among these, twelve hundred plants must be used as food for the bee colony, and the remaining twenty-eight hundred plants can be sold, all brewed into Hundred Spirits Honey, valued between fourteen thousand spirit stones to sixteen thousand eight hundred spirit stones..."
Calculating conservatively, that's fifteen thousand spirit stones!
Even when considering rent and other miscellaneous costs at a high estimate of two thousand spirit stones, Qi Ping can earn a profit of thirteen thousand spirit stones!
"Thirteen thousand spirit stones in a year! In a year! Just thirteen thousand spirit stones!"
"That's more comfortable than money made from robbery, isn't it?"
Qi Ping truly hadn't realized until he did the math, startled by the numbers!
It's indeed more comfortable than robbery!
Talking about his recent counter-attacks and getting spoils, which one didn't keep him on edge?
The black-robed insect-controlling cultivator provoked the green-clothed woman, along with the unknown risks of the Evil Lovers Alliance behind her; the black-robed talisman cultivator has the Celestial Fire Pavilion behind them, comparable to Cyan Origin Sect.
Any of them could leave Qi Ping on tenterhooks.
Compared to such nerve-wracking scenarios, just staying on my spiritual land farming and beekeeping, earning over a thousand spirit stones a month is simply delightful for Qi Ping!
Is there anything more enjoyable than lying down and earning over a thousand spirit stones a month?
Thinking of this, Qi Ping could only say one thing: Brewer Big Belly Bee is awesome!
Though the Brewer Big Belly Bee looks a bit silly, its money-making ability is truly incomparable.
"After all, low-end products are the best way to utilize the Brewer Big Belly Bee!"
In terms of purifying Hundred Spirits Grass, an ordinary Tier One alchemist can do it, but no alchemist would do it this way.
Because Hundred Spirits Grass, given its very fast growth and short cycle, has mixed and non-prominent medicinal properties and impure spiritual power, making purification highly difficult.
Purifying one plant of Hundred Spirits Grass requires a lot of effort, and no alchemist would be foolish enough to make money this way, isn't alchemy more appealing?
But the Brewer Big Belly Bee is different; while it can't compete with alchemists in high-end products, it's not inferior at low-end operations.
The most important is the number of Brewer Big Belly Bees, unmatched by alchemists! The crucial point is Qi Ping doesn't need to pay them!
All profit goes straight to him!
"This is what I call real bee-based profit!"
"The low-end industry others look down upon is precisely where stealthy big fortunes are easiest to make."
On this point, Qi Ping really should thank Boss Gao, if it hadn't been for his mention of Hundred Spirits Grass, Qi Ping wouldn't have thought of the money-making tool of combining Hundred Spirits Grass with Brewer Big Belly Bee!
Moreover, the key is that thirteen thousand spirit stones aren't the limit for the bee colony, but merely the limit of these two spiritual lands.
If Qi Ping could lease more spiritual lands, or even the whole Cloud Mist Mountain Range, the amount he could earn annually could reach a terrifyingly high figure!
It's just that doing so would be too conspicuous, it would simply be earning with life but not having the life to spend!
Thirteen thousand spirit stones should be just the right amount for Qi Ping, as long as he can completely hide the traces of Hundred Spirits Grass to avoid provoking overly strong enemies.
For now, slowly developing and improving his strength is the way, waiting until he needs more spirit stones in the future to lease more spiritual lands to earn and grow isn't too late.
The level of strength should earn the corresponding level of spirit stones, Qi Ping at least understands this much.
Sometimes greed is the most deadly.
"With this, some of the upcoming plans can be altered..."
"Especially in the selection of the third animal companion..."
"This is my strongest support in immortal cultivation, and next, I can definitely look at the best spiritual beasts in Qingshi County..."
The higher the Druid Level, the greater the difficulty in advancing, so each animal companion slot is precious, and if there's a chance to choose a better spirit beast, one must not settle.
Currently, Qi Ping is quite satisfied with the two animal companions.
The bee colony has both excellent combat and production capabilities, and Yaya also has the potential to become a super raptor...
...
"However, how many spirit stones can truly be earned will have to wait until the Hundred Spirits Honey that can remove the shadow of the Hundred Spirits Grass is tested out to determine..."
"But overall, it should not be much different, since the foundation is with Hundred Spirits Grass as the main material, whether the final result is better or worse doesn't affect me much..."
With the expectation of the large amount of spirit stones to be pocketed in the future, Qi Ping began researching enthusiastically.
"Firstly, I can try some assorted formulas, combining all types of flower nectar together, some can also add some common herbs, masking the medicinal components without affecting the basic effect of Hundred Spirits Honey..."
"Then, add a piece of Spirit-Storage Fruit in the assorted formulas, concealing the effect of nourishing the body with mixed Hundred Spirits Honey..."
"Also, Killing Grass is nicknamed the polluter of medicine, might as well add it in and try..."
