Qi Ping has set up a total of fifty combinations for brewing Hundred Spirits Honey formulas.

"With so many combinations, we should be able to find one that completely masks the characteristics of Hundred Spirits Grass..."

After configuring these combinations and handing them over to the Brewer Big Belly Bee, Qi Ping began researching the problem of hive cultivation.

In this month, approximately two thousand new bees were cultivated by Qi Ping, which is still far from his goal of ten thousand combat bee types and three thousand Brewer Big Belly Bees.

The reason the hive cultivation speed is slower than expected is not because of Qi Ping's Blood Ginseng cultivation speed, but rather due to the limitations of the Bee King's strength.

With only a Tier One Intermediate-level Bee King, although its offspring can inherit a more powerful bloodline, its egg-laying speed is limited to seventy or eighty a day at most.

Previously, because Qi Ping's rate of cultivating Spiritual Medicine was limited, the egg-laying speed of the Bee King was still greater than Qi Ping's rate of cultivating Spiritual Medicine.

Moreover, considering the Bee King's significant role in the stability of the hive, and the hive had no intention of replacing the Bee King, Qi Ping did not consider replacing the Bee King either.

Additionally, Qi Ping had a thought that similar to bee-like insect races which have a queen, the Demon Insect Cultivation Manual records many cases, with specific explanations on matters like the replacement of the queen.

For insect race queens, the recommendation from the Demon Insect Cultivation Manual is usually not to replace them!

As the more powerful the Spirit Beast, the more challenging it is for a queen to be born, it plays an extremely important role in the stability of the insect race and holds extraordinary meaning.

However, once a male insect successfully mutates, the queen's strength often can't keep up with the males, which is a very common issue in insect race cultivation.

After all, no Insect-Controlling Cultivator would dare to gamble on the low mutation probability of an insect race queen, as the birth of a new queen is extremely difficult, and even if it is successful, integrating with the original hive would still be a tremendous challenge.

Therefore, in response to this situation, the best choice is to give the insect race queen the best resources and wait for the queen to realize its own autonomous mutation and advancement!

There are many successful cases of the queens carrying out autonomous mutation and advancement.

Moreover, such queens that independently complete their advancement can further elevate the overall bloodline of the whole insect race, which is far better than directly birthing a new insect race queen!

This is because, due to the special nature of the queens' bloodlines, their mutation success rate is inherently higher.

So once there are males in the insect race that mutate to a higher level, after these males with stronger bloodlines impregnate the insect race queen, the queen can absorb part of the advanced Power of Bloodline from the eggs as nutrients to nurture its own bloodline while gestating.

Under such circumstances, as long as the queen has sufficient quality and is provided with enough high-grade resources, there is a fair chance for the Bee King to achieve a mutation advancement.

Once such an insect race queen completes its advancement, it ensures the bloodline of the insect race remains at its highest stability.

Especially when there are multiple males in the insect race that have undergone mutation advancement, the queens of such insect races might become even stronger than Balanced Bees after advancing.

The offspring born from such insect race queens will have a mutation probability far higher than ordinary Balanced Insects, with much greater potential.

This is the most critical reason why Qi Ping has never considered replacing the Bee King!

He has continuously allowed the Brewer Big Belly Bees to produce the best royal jelly for the Bee King, hoping that the Bee King can quickly achieve bloodline mutation and advancement.

It's just that the constraint in soldier production speed this month has forced Qi Ping to consider the cultivation of a new Bee King...

But it was at this moment that something surprising happened to Qi Ping!

Currently, the Bee King quietly stands atop a rock, enveloped by dense Spiritual Qi, its aura and pressure continuously growing.

This is a unique pressure of the Bee King, incomparable to the advancement of ordinary male bees.

Around the Bee King, thousands of bees have surrounded the entire mountain, all entering the highest alert state.

Feeling the special pressure emanating from the Bee King, Qi Ping was secretly startled, as the pressure and momentum from the Bee King's advancement far exceeded what ordinary bee advancements could achieve.

However, more than startlement, what Qi Ping felt at this moment was immense joy!

Utterly immense surprise!

"Finally advanced!"

This signifies that the bloodline of this Bee King is definitely remarkable!

Furthermore, the Bee King's ability to advance once indicates that in the future, whenever male bees are successfully cultivated and provided with enough high-level resources, the probability of advancing again will be much greater than that of a Bee King that has never advanced.

This is also one of the reasons the Demon Insect Cultivation Manual highly emphasizes letting insect race queens advance on their own.

"After today, there's no need to worry about the speed of soldier production anymore..."

With the Bee King advancing to a Tier One high-level bloodline, increasing the soldier production speed by four to five times shouldn't be an issue.

And Qi Ping wasn't too worried about the Bee King's advancement.

Because this Bee King's physical quality, having been nurtured with the best royal jelly, reached a very solid and powerful level.

Coupled with the steady aura throughout the advancement process, and the extremely smooth mutation process, Qi Ping wasn't too concerned about whether the Bee King could successfully advance.

Now, Qi Ping is more interested in how much the Bee King will exceed the equilibrium after its mutation...

"Currently, the Bee King should be absorbing enough advanced Power of Bloodline during gestation, containing traits from the High-speed Ring-cutting Bee, Demon Armor Bee, Highly Poisonous Bee, Balanced Bee, and the Brewer Big Belly Bee..."

"Not sure how much of these five types of Power of Bloodline the Bee King can absorb..."

In fact, the amount of excellent traits from the bloodline that can be absorbed and integrated depends on the Bee King's own quality.

The better the quality of the Bee King, the stronger its ability to integrate excellent traits from the bloodline.

And the more excellent traits from the bloodline the Bee King integrates, the higher its own potential and that of its hive will be in the future.

Of course, it's not that the more exceptional bloodlines a Bee King absorbs, the better. According to data recorded in the Demon Insect Cultivation Manual, it is most suitable for an insect race queen to absorb between three to seven types of exceptional bloodlines, resulting in more excellent mutation conditions.

Thus, some Insect Cultivators, even when cultivating dozens of male bee varieties, will only choose to focus on three to seven for cultivation due to this reason.

Perhaps it's because of the Beast King's Blessing talent, Qi Ping's five mutated bee species; apart from the Balanced Bee being ordinary, their overall mutation conditions are quite excellent.

The Blade Wings of the High-speed Ring-cutting Bee.

The defense, strength, and biting power of the Ink Armor Bee.

The poison of the Highly Poisonous Bee.

The honey-making ability of the Brewer Big Belly Bee.

These four abilities are exceptionally outstanding.

"With the Beast King's Blessing, as a Bee King, you can't be worse than ordinary male bee mutations, can you?" Qi Ping mentally cheered on the Bee King.

"But no matter what, the honey-making ability must be retained!"

More than attack abilities, the honey-making ability is what Qi Ping anticipates the most.

Because there's a high probability of Qi Ping developing combat bee groups once more, but the probability of cultivating another Tier Two Brewer Big Belly Bee is very low.

Whether it's Blade Wings, Ink Armor, or poison, these attack traits are quite replaceable; they're excellent, but not indispensable.

However, there is no other trait Qi Ping can think of that could replace the honey-making ability of the Brewer Big Belly Bee.

Amidst Qi Ping's nervous anticipation, after a full six hours, the Bee King finally completed its final mutation... A uniquely powerful aura burst forth from the Bee King at this moment!
