After digesting the knowledge about Brewing Artisan in his mind, Qi Ping looked at the Gold Marrow Bees, which had just emerged from their special contractual state.
The Gold Marrow Bees had voluntarily become Qi Ping's Animal Companion, so after the contract was formed, Qi Ping and the Gold Marrow Bee Swarm became each other's most trusted partners.
At a glance, Qi Ping found that every Gold Marrow Bee in front of him had a very close connection with him!
Even with his eyes closed, Qi Ping could clearly sense the existence of this connection.
Moreover, communication between him and the Gold Marrow Bees became easy; they could even transmit information directly through this special connection without speaking.
"How do you all feel?" Qi Ping asked.
"Buzz buzz. (Boss, our bodies seem to have changed a lot, become much more transparent!)" The Bee Queen was the first to answer.
"Buzz buzz. (Comfortable! Comfortable!)"
"Buzz buzz. (Our perception has become stronger!)"
...
After some understanding, Qi Ping learned about some of the changes brought about by this contract.
Under the Beast King's Grace skill, the overall Talent of the Gold Marrow Bees had improved significantly.
For example, changes in their ability to circulate Spiritual Qi within their bodies and perceive Spiritual Qi.
On this basis, the difficulty for the Gold Marrow Bees to upgrade and undergo metamorphosis in the future would undoubtedly be much easier.
Thus, Qi Ping's promise to make the Gold Marrow Bee clan stronger was initially fulfilled in its most crucial step, as the improvement of Talent is the most difficult and fundamental.
Additionally, after the Gold Marrow Bees were contracted, the difficulty of communication between Qi Ping and the Gold Marrow Bees was greatly reduced.
However, Qi Ping was not sure if this was due to the special connection or if their intelligence had also improved.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"Now the Gold Marrow Bees already have the strength to threaten Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivators, and their strength is expected to increase rapidly in the future. As long as they are commanded properly, they can exert strength higher than what the Bee Swarm could achieve through spontaneous combat. In this case, they might even pose a certain threat to Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators."
"The improved communication efficiency also makes it easier to command the Bee Swarm in battle."
After understanding all the changes from this contract, Qi Ping felt very satisfied!
His own strength had not changed much, but having such extraordinary Animal Companions also gave Qi Ping more confidence in the Cultivation World.
"Are there any Spirit Flowers or Spirit Medicine nearby?" Qi Ping continued to ask the Gold Marrow Bees.
High-grade Spirit Flowers or Spirit Medicine are often found near Gold Marrow Bees.
"Buzz buzz. (Yes, about two li in that direction, there is a batch of blood ginseng. We collect some sap every once in a while without harming their plants.)"
"Buzz buzz. (We've hidden it with feces and leaves so other animals won't find it.)"
Indeed!
Qi Ping's heart filled with joy.
It was indeed correct to read more books with Old Zhou; otherwise, Qi Ping felt he might take a long time to discover this secret.
blood ginseng is a rather precious First Order Intermediate Spirit Medicine, which offers immense benefits for Body Refining and improving cultivation, and its market price is not low.
It could be said that as long as there was enough blood ginseng, even with Qi Ping's low-grade Talent, he could Breakthrough to Qi Refining Middle Stage within a few years!
So, it was understandable how excited Qi Ping was when he learned this news.
More importantly, Qi Ping had the Plant Growth skill, which could help him accelerate the growth and reproduction of blood ginseng!
This way, he could obtain more blood ginseng in a short period!
Moreover, the Gold Marrow Bees also had the Brewing Artisan Talent, and honey brewed from blood ginseng would retain or even enhance the special effects of blood ginseng.
"Next, I just need to be responsible for Birth with Plant Growth, and the Gold Marrow Bees will be responsible for brewing honey. Then, both I and the Gold Marrow Bees can have relatively abundant high-grade honey to improve our Physique and cultivation, while also increasing my Druid experience and Plant Growth experience."
Therefore, Qi Ping, from now on, just needed to quietly raise Bees and farm as before, and he would be able to slowly improve his strength, and his Lifespan would also increase significantly.
"Where is the blood ginseng? Take me to see it."
"Buzz buzz. (Okay!)"
"Buzz buzz. (Follow me, Boss!)"
Next, Qi Ping, led by the Honeybees, quickly arrived at the location of the blood ginseng.
This patch of blood ginseng was nestled among weeds, with its leaves blending in with the weeds, making it extremely difficult to distinguish.
If Qi Ping hadn't examined it carefully, even if he passed by ten times, he wouldn't have discovered the existence of this batch of blood ginseng.
Beneath the withered leaves in the grass, various insect and beast feces were also placed, continuously emitting an unusual smell.
This smell was not strong; it was just enough to mask the scent of the blood ginseng without being too prominent.
"The Gold Marrow Bees are quite clever... They know how to sustainably extract sap from the blood ginseng and how to protect it."
Qi Ping carefully parted the grass and examined it closely, finding sixteen blood ginseng plants inside.
Among them, three were seedlings, and the other thirteen were all about the size of a thumb, estimated to be between ten and forty years old.

Seeing so much blood ginseng, Qi Ping was undoubtedly pleasantly surprised.
One must know that his assets, even if he sold the Black Little Bees, might barely be enough to buy one or two blood ginsengs.
A sudden burst of wealth was nothing more than this.
However, a considerable doubt also arose in Qi Ping's heart.
The Spiritual Qi in this mountain forest was not dense, and the Spiritual Qi in the earth pulse was not high, so how could so much blood ginseng grow in this place?
The more Advanced the Spirit Plant, the higher the requirements for the Spirit Land. If the Spirit Land conditions were poor, the Spirit Plant would be malnourished or simply unable to grow.
But the growth state of the dozen or so blood ginseng plants in front of him was exceptionally good, which did not conform to the basic conditions of this mountain forest.
"Strange, the Spiritual Qi concentration in the air is no different from other places."
"So, the reason should be underground here."
Qi Ping stretched out his palm and pressed it against the soil where the blood ginseng was located, carefully investigating with his Divine Sense, and with the perception amplification of the Jungle Druid in the mountain forest, he finally discovered the anomaly.
Indeed, beneath this batch of blood ginseng, there was an extraordinary Spiritual Qi, but this Spiritual Qi was actively absorbed by the blood ginseng from underground, which is why other plants nearby showed no particular signs.
"Could it be that there is some secret hidden beneath this land?"
Qi Ping couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
After a long time, Qi Ping shook his head, temporarily suppressing his desire to delve deeper.
There was a high probability that something was under this land; it could be an Opportunity, or it could be a crisis.
After much deliberation, Qi Ping still felt that his strength was too weak and it was not advisable to touch such potentially dangerous matters.
The blood ginseng alone already made Qi Ping cautious enough; if whatever was below came into being and attracted an insurmountable danger, that would be truly troublesome.
"First, Birth a large batch of blood ginseng, and after both my and the Gold Marrow Bees' strength have increased, I will have enough strength to explore what is below."
Knowing when to stop and taking one step at a time was Qi Ping's style.
Moreover, the blood ginseng had been here for decades, and the Spiritual Qi below was still continuously being absorbed by the blood ginseng, so there was no rush to explore this thing.
Thus, Qi Ping took a deep breath to calm his restless mood.
"Hoo."
"Let's try the effect of Plant Growth first!"
After Qi Ping calmed his mind, following his understanding and knowledge of Plant Growth in his mind, he used his consciousness to stir the mysterious energy he perceived, and then gathered this energy in his hand.
After about ten breaths, a cluster of dark green energy gradually formed in Qi Ping's hand.
