This Talent was formed two days ago after the Big Belly Bees reached a certain scale.
More accurately, it evolved from [Brewing Artisan] to [Grand Brewer].
Qi Ping hadn't expected that a shared Talent would actually improve as his Animal Companion's Talent improved.
Previously, in the game, there were no instances of Animal Companions advancing or evolving, because their Talents in the game were fixed.
Now, the shared Talent can also improve with the Animal Companion's Talent, which was an unexpected surprise for Qi Ping.
"Shared Talent... Thinking about it, it's quite reasonable. Originally, sharing was based on the Animal Companion's Talent. Since the Animal Companion's Talent has improved, it's understandable that the shared Talent would also improve."
"However, if that's the case, then the Gold Marrow Bees are even more worth continuing to Cultivate."
After experiencing the convenience that [Brewing Artisan] brought to alchemy, Qi Ping clearly understood the importance of this Talent for Cultivating Immortals.
With this Talent in hand, his path of Cultivating Immortals would be much smoother, especially when paired with the Druid skill [Plant Growth], it was simply a perfect match.
[Grand Brewer: You possess outstanding Talent in brewing honey and an extremely keen spiritual sense for Spirit Medicine. You can acutely blend Spirit Medicine and maximize their effects, then brew them into honey.]
After the Talent upgraded from [Brewing Artisan] to [Grand Brewer], Qi Ping could clearly feel that his sensitivity to Spirit Medicine was a notch higher than before.
For First Order Intermediate Spirit Medicine like blood ginseng, his sensitivity to its medicinal properties and Impurities was unparalleled.
Even regarding the Fusion of Spirit Medicine, Qi Ping no longer found it obscure and difficult to understand as before; instead, he had an intuitive feeling of being able to handle it with ease.
Qi Ping guessed that the Grand Brewer's Talent was exceptionally outstanding even among First-Order High-level Talents, so for him, as long as he treated the Fusion of First-Order Spirit Medicine with care, there shouldn't be too many problems.
This made Qi Ping full of confidence in the success rate of refining this batch of bloodline mutation potion.
However, Qi Ping still prepared the wooden table from before, and after dividing all the medicinal materials according to the previous proportions, he closed his eyes and rested.
Even with a stronger Talent, Qi Ping still felt that following the previous method would be more stable. It would ensure a consistent success rate while also providing more experience in the operation.
"Buzz buzz... (Boss, that two-legged beast who came to find you last time is here again.)"
"Buzz buzz... (She looks like this.)"
The Gold Marrow Bees suddenly buzzed in Qi Ping's ear, describing Nan Jie's appearance and actions.
"Nan Jie is here?" Qi Ping's brows furrowed, his rest interrupted.
Nan Jie herself was fine and had been quite good to him.
But Qi Ping had just told Nan Jie not long ago that if her Crisis Warning Talent sensed anything, she must come to him immediately.
So, this time, it was probably about that matter.
Therefore, Qi Ping didn't bother with refining medicine first and immediately rushed down the mountain.
At the foot of Peak Seven, Old Zhou's courtyard.
Qi Ping hadn't stayed here for half a month, and the courtyard was now covered in spiderwebs, with fallen leaves spread both inside and outside the courtyard.
Some of the delicate flowers and plants Old Zhou had kept had also withered due to neglect.
The entire courtyard gave the impression of being deserted.
Nan Jie, dressed in plain clothes, arrived in front of the courtyard, somewhat shocked to see the clearly long-abandoned residence.
She knew about Old Zhou returning to the mortal world, but what about Qi Ping? Shouldn't he still be here?
Could something have happened?
Thinking of this, a hint of worry rose in her heart. Qi Ping had been kind to her, and they had a friendship; naturally, she didn't want anything to happen to Qi Ping.
Just as Nan Jie was anxiously preparing to enter the courtyard to search, her eyes caught sight of a handsome young man running down the mountain.
"Xiao Qi?"
"Nan Jie! Long time no see!"
"Are you living on the mountain now?" Nan Jie pointed to the long-abandoned courtyard, looking at Qi Ping with some shock.
However, more than that, she was relieved to see that Qi Ping was fine.
"Yes, since Old Zhou returned to the mortal world, it's more convenient and safer for me to raise Bees on the mountain."
"So that's how it is. I thought you scared me!" Nan Jie said with lingering fear.
"How could that be? If anything happens, I'll definitely send a Gold Marrow Bee to remind you. Nan Jie, why are you here this time?"
Qi Ping had previously discussed with Nan Jie that in case of an emergency, he would send a Gold Marrow Bee to fly and stop about ten feet in front of Nan Jie.
"My Crisis Warning has sensed something again."
Mentioning this, Nan Jie's expression became extremely solemn, clearly, this Crisis Warning made her particularly uneasy.
"Sensed something again?"
"And it's stronger than any previous time!" Nan Jie affirmed.
Upon receiving this answer, Qi Ping's heart also sank slightly.
It could affect Nan Jie, and it was an unprecedentedly strong Crisis Warning.
Thus, the danger faced this time was definitely not comparable to those ordinary Demon Insects from before.
Thinking of this, Qi Ping became even more urgent about refining the mutated potion to Cultivate Gold Marrow Bees and advancing to a Level Three Druid.
"I need to refine the bloodline mutation potion as soon as possible. My current state should not have too many problems," Qi Ping thought to himself.
Therefore, Qi Ping did not say any more superfluous words, but directly said:
"Nan Jie, come up the mountain with me. I've made arrangements there. Even an ordinary Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator who comes there will die!"
"Can it deal with Qi Refining Late Stage?"
"Yes!" Qi Ping nodded affirmatively.
"Good! Then I'll supplement the arrangements with some poison arrays and traps."
Nan Jie agreed without hesitation. She knew that Qi Ping would never say something he couldn't do.
If Qi Ping said it, he would definitely be able to do it!
Although Qi Ping possessing such strength greatly shocked her.
A moment later, Qi Ping led Nan Jie to the ancient fir tree where he used to Cultivate.
"Nan Jie, you can make some arrangements here. I still have some things to do and will be back later!"
"Okay! You go, don't worry about me," Nan Jie replied with a smile.
She knew that Qi Ping definitely had secrets, but she had no desire to explore them.
For Qi Ping, what she wanted to do was to help if she could, and also, after this crisis, she planned to tell Qi Ping the source of [Insect Beast Cultivation: Demon Insect Chapter].
During this time, she had seen the shadow of a strong person in Qi Ping.
She felt that, without any unexpected circumstances, Qi Ping was very likely to become a strong person renowned throughout the region.
Anyway, she had enough trust in Qi Ping. As long as she could provide help to Qi Ping in the early stages, she believed that she wouldn't need to make any demands, and Qi Ping would give her sufficient returns.
Perhaps Qi Ping was her best chance to monetize the secrets she held. Compared to those unfamiliar, greedy, or high-and-mighty Sect and Family Cultivators, Qi Ping was clearly much more trustworthy.
The last time Qi Ping voluntarily gave her golden marrow honey was excellent proof; he was definitely not a greedy person.
"Perhaps Xiao Qi will become my greatest help on the path to achieving my goal," Nan Jie thought to herself.
Of course, everything would be discussed after this crisis was over, so to cope with the danger, she also took out her treasured, terrifying highly toxic poison, capable of poisoning even Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators to death!
"Mm!"
After Qi Ping responded, he left directly to refine the bloodline mutation potion.
He also had selfish motives regarding Nan Jie. After this crisis, he could also take this opportunity to exchange golden marrow honey for information on the source of [Ling Beast Cultivation: Demon Insect Chapter]. After all, for such a valuable item, without the right timing, a rash request could easily backfire.
