Under Qi Ping's careful observation, he found that this Big Belly Bee was indeed somewhat different from what was recorded.
"According to records, the Big Belly demonic insect's abdomen expands and strengthens due to the stimulating, violent power of the potion, preventing the power from bursting its body..."
"But this reinforcement is a local deformity, forming no combat power and unable to achieve a Breakthrough in Rank."
These characteristics in the records were the same as those Big Belly Bees that died during their metamorphosis.
"While this Big Belly Bee in front of him looks similar to other Big Belly Bees at first glance, both having large abdomens and appearing quite deformed, upon closer inspection, this Big Belly Bee's body possesses an inexplicable sense of coordination and fluidity."
"More importantly, it succeeded in its metamorphosis!"
And there is basically no possibility of a Big Belly demonic insect succeeding in its metamorphosis...
"Perhaps there will be some surprising changes," Qi Ping thought.
...
The failure of the Poisonous Bee and the mysterious Bloodline Bee to metamorphose left Qi Ping very regretful. These Bee species could only be sought again when he next refined the bloodline mutation potion.
Now that the Equilibrium Bees have completed their metamorphosis, the next time, he can use the Equilibrium Bees as a foundation for a second metamorphosis.
However, the second metamorphosis of demonic insects requires a bloodline mutation potion with at least five hundred years of efficacy.
Setting aside how much time this would take, more importantly, Qi Ping could clearly feel that the limit of Plant Growth was around one or two hundred years, and the older the year, the harder it was to accelerate growth.
If he wanted to cultivate five-hundred-year-old blood ginseng, Qi Ping estimated that the Plant Growth skill would need to be raised several Ranks higher.
"But no matter what, at least four Bee Kings successfully metamorphosed, which is quite fortunate."
"The High-Speed Bee with Blade Wings is probably the strongest in combat, the Equilibrium Bees are the foundational Bee species for future metamorphoses, and the only uncertainty is whether the Big Belly Bee can bring a surprise."
"Let's wait until these four Bee Kings adapt to this change before asking them."
Qi Ping estimated that in another hour or two, these four Bee Kings would be able to fully digest and adapt to this metamorphosis.
At this point, Qi Ping was no longer anxious. From the perspective of metamorphosis probability, just having High-Speed Bee and Equilibrium Bees metamorphose was already very good.
Especially the High-Speed Bee, which clearly showed super organ enhancement; usually, such a demonic insect only appears with great Opportunity.
Qi Ping was also fortunate at this moment that he had slightly more bloodline mutation potion reserved before, and it was through this series of coincidences that this High-Speed Bee came into being.
Soon after, the four successfully metamorphosed Bee Kings adapted to and digested the power gained from their metamorphosis.
"Can you feel the new power obtained after this metamorphosis?"
Qi Ping first looked at the Bee King that had completed its wing metamorphosis.
"Buzz. (Boss, my Talent is extreme speed flight... and High-Speed Cutting!)"
"Extreme speed flight? High-Speed Cutting?"
"Buzz. (Yes, Boss, I'll show you!)"
After the High-Speed Bee finished speaking, its figure instantly appeared in the distance, leaving only blurred afterimages in its wake.
And Qi Ping looked at the constantly turning and darting figure in the sky, his heart filled with extreme shock.
"So fast!"
"This speed is much faster than Nan Jie, who is at the Qi Refining Middle Stage, so much so that there's not much comparability."
Immediately after, the High-Speed Bee began to fly around a hard boulder.
With a series of piercing cutting sounds, in less than a breath's time, the hard boulder had a series of smooth, flat cuts, each wider than a finger!
And conversely, the High-Speed Bee's Blade Wings showed no damage whatsoever, despite such high-intensity vibration cutting.
Such terrifying speed and cutting effect left Qi Ping's heart extremely shocked.
"Awesome!"
Even the destructive power displayed by just one High-Speed Bee made Qi Ping's scalp tingle.
"The only drawback is that the cuts are too shallow; the size issue is a fundamental flaw."
"However, one High-Speed Bee might not be enough, but what about one hundred... or one thousand? Cultivators with insufficient strength would probably be cut into pieces in a few breaths."
"Even for those with high strength, if High-Speed Bees are combined with Bee venom or other poisons, they would be a trump card level existence!"
After learning about the High-Speed Bee's combat power, Qi Ping's heart was filled with immense joy.
It truly lived up to the description in the bloodline mutation potion as an extremely rare demonic insect that gained super organ enhancement through mutation; its combat power was indeed terrifying.
In fact, if those who had used the bloodline mutation potion knew that Qi Ping only used fifty-one demonic insects and this small amount of bloodline mutation potion to cultivate a rare demonic insect with super organ enhancement, they would definitely be consumed by jealousy.

To be able to cultivate such a rare Gold Marrow Bee, just be secretly happy; what else is there to regret?
Because even if they spent five or ten times the amount of potion, they might not be able to cultivate such a rare demonic insect!
Not to mention that Qi Ping also successfully nurtured two Equilibrium Bees, and an even more peculiar Big Belly Bee; his luck could already be described as overflowing.
After a series of tests, Qi Ping finally obtained the specific attributes of the High-Speed Bee:
[Species: High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee (Gold Marrow Bee Mutation)]
[Bloodline: First-Order High-level]
[Talent: Blade Wings, High-Speed Cutting, Wind Speed]
Blade Wings: Wings possess super toughness and extremely high sharpness.
High-Speed Cutting: Can cause terrifying cutting effects by rapidly flapping its Blade Wings.
Wind Speed: During the mutation, it shed the original wood attribute of the Gold Marrow Bee, retaining and strengthening only the Wind attribute. Under the effect of the Wind attribute mutated Blade Wings, its speed is incredibly fast.
[Evaluation: The High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee lost the original venom and honey-making abilities of the Gold Marrow Bee, gaining super speed Talent and Blade Wings Talent.]
"Although the High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee lost its Brewing Artisan and Poisonous Stinger Talents, its combat power is more than just one level higher under the effect of Blade Wings, High-Speed Cutting, and the enhanced Wind Speed."
"Next, as long as the Gold Marrow Bee Swarm creates a High-Speed Ring-Cutting legion, with the speed and effect of the High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee, even when facing enemies at the Qi Refining Late Stage, it is enough to cause powerful lethality, and its effect as a surprise attack will likely be even more significant."
Moreover, before the battle begins, other Gold Marrow Bees can apply venom to the wings of the High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee, which will undoubtedly make the effect even more explosive!
The surprise brought by the High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee completely exceeded Qi Ping's expectations.
After testing the attributes of the High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee, Qi Ping turned his attention to the two Equilibrium Bees.
After careful observation and testing, he found that the overall attributes of the Equilibrium Bees did not undergo significant mutation; they were simply a 'plus' version of the Gold Marrow Bee, similar to a Gold Marrow Bee that had gradually broken through and evolved to the First-Order Late Stage after normal accumulation.
Their Physical Body and size were enhanced in all aspects, and their honey-making and poisonous Talents were also higher than before, but there was no qualitative change like that of the High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee.
From a combat power perspective, the High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee could easily crush the Equilibrium Bees; it is estimated that it could cut the Equilibrium Bees into several pieces in just one encounter.
But this does not mean that the Equilibrium Bees are not strong; it's just that the High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee's combat power is too abnormal...
"Equilibrium Bees must also be cultivated; they are useful for collecting honey, making honey, and even for the second metamorphosis."
For a High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee, its combat power is indeed extraordinary among First-Order Late Stage demonic insects, but if it undergoes a second metamorphosis, because its physical state is already extreme, not only will the success rate of metamorphosis plummet, but the possible directions of metamorphosis will also be much fewer.
"With the Equilibrium Bees tested, only the last Big Belly Bee remains."
