After taking Nan Jie to the ancient fir tree, Qi Ping returned to the Blood Ginseng Growing Area, where the medicinal Materials he had just prepared were placed.
Now that Peak Seven was full of his scouts and hidden combat power, Qi Ping wasn't worried about ambushes or any accidents.
Unless the enemy's strength far exceeded his, this would be his main battlefield.
After taking three deep breaths, Qi Ping felt his state was about right and began refining the bloodline mutation potion.
Qi Ping still started with the extraction of essences from ordinary medicinal Materials.
He hadn't refined medicine for a long time, and he had prepared more than enough ordinary medicinal Materials, so starting here was the most suitable way to regain his touch.
He completed this step very easily.
"There wasn't a single mistake?"
Qi Ping was a little surprised; he had thought he would be a bit rusty after not refining medicine for a while.
After completing the essence extraction step for ordinary medicinal Materials, the next step was the Spirit Medicine...
To be safe, Qi Ping decided to extract some ordinary blood ginseng to get a feel for it.
As a result, after three or four attempts, every extraction was completely successful.
So Qi Ping no longer hesitated and immediately began extracting the hundred-year blood ginseng and fifty-year flowing light grass.
After a series of smooth movements, all ten portions of medicinal Materials were finally extracted!
"The success rate reached ninety percent, and if it weren't for my spiritual power suddenly being unable to keep up during the final essence extraction, the success rate would probably have been one hundred percent."
"The Grand Brewer Talent is truly incredibly powerful!"
"With my experience in Spirit Medicine essence extraction, the probability of extraction failure is simply as small as it can get."
This also made Qi Ping secretly regret the Brewer Big Belly Bee; its intelligence was too low, it only instinctively brewed honey, and he couldn't even communicate with it.
Otherwise, if the Big Belly Bee could be cultivated into little alchemists, it would surely earn a lot of Spirit Stones.
"My Cultivation Realm must also be improved as soon as possible after this matter is over; the Qi Refining third-level Cultivation is still too low, and my spiritual power can't even keep up with the demands of extracting Spirit Medicine essences."
"I hope that the Animal Companion I contract soon can share some Cultivation Talents; otherwise, breaking through to Foundation Establishment can only be a slow grind."
After completing the Spirit Medicine essence extraction work, Qi Ping began absorbing spiritual power from Spirit Stones to accelerate the recovery of his spiritual power.
Once his spiritual power was fully recovered, Qi Ping immediately began the potion Fusion work.
Perhaps it was Qi Ping's good condition, or perhaps it was due to the Grand Brewer Talent, but Qi Ping felt as if he had divine assistance during the Spirit Medicine essence Fusion process.
The Fusion process was not only fast and smooth but also completely free of any errors!
Qi Ping successfully fused nine out of nine Spirit Medicine essences, a hundred percent success rate!
Last time, he only barely succeeded with five portions; compared to this time, the difference was simply too great.
"Too strong!"
Having experienced both Talents, Qi Ping was now clearer than ever about the difference between the Brewing Artisan and the Grand Brewer.
It could be said that without the Brewing Artisan Talent, and without large quantities of Spirit Medicine as practice Materials, Qi Ping would simply be unable to raise his skill to the level required to successfully refine the bloodline mutation potion.
But with the Brewing Artisan Talent, Qi Ping only needed a little training to achieve a decent success rate in refining potions.
The Grand Brewer, on the other hand, directly elevated Qi Ping's alchemy success rate to near perfection. Qi Ping estimated that not only the bloodline mutation potion, but other first-Rank potion formulas, as long as he familiarized himself with them for a period, could also basically achieve this result!
"The bloodline mutation potion has been successfully refined. Next is the transformation of the Gold Marrow Bee + gaining Druid experience."
Druid Level: Lv2 (138/200) → Druid Level: Lv2 (179/200).
Over the past week, Qi Ping had gained 41 Druid experience points, and now he only needed 21 more experience points to level up.
"Last time, transforming the Bee Swarm yielded 47 Druid experience points, so the experience gained this time should definitely be enough for the Druid to level up."
The only thing that surprised Qi Ping was the high success rate of this refining session; the bloodline mutation potion produced was enough for over ninety Bee Kings to consume.
However, among Qi Ping's Gold Marrow Bee Bee Swarm, excluding the mutated varieties, only seventy-eight Bee Kings were still alive.
So Qi Ping selected seventy-five Bee Kings as the subjects for this mutation, leaving three Bee Kings as the purest Bloodline of the Gold Marrow Bee to continue breeding.
After selecting the seventy-five Bee Kings, Qi Ping didn't delay and immediately had them begin consuming the bloodline mutation potion.
"Begin!"
"Buzz... (Yes, Boss!)" The Bee Kings excitedly exclaimed in unison. Last time, they missed the opportunity to consume the bloodline mutation potion, and now it was finally their turn!
After witnessing the power of the High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee and Equilibrium Bees that successfully transformed, they yearned even more for this opportunity.
If new powerful Bee species could be transformed, the Bee Swarm would undoubtedly become even stronger!
"It has begun!"
Qi Ping watched as the seventy-five Bee Kings consumed the bloodline mutation potion and then dispersed across the open ground.
As dense crimson and golden light began to appear on the Bee Kings, a strong sense of anticipation rose within Qi Ping.
He was even more excited than during the last Bee transformation.
Because this time not only concerned how powerful the mutated Bee species would be after transformation, but also whether Qi Ping could gain enough Rank experience to Awaken as a Level 3 Druid and gain the option to choose the Wilderness Transformation skill.

First stage: The potion enters the body, enduring the violent medicinal power of the bloodline mutation potion.
During this process, thirty Bee Kings exploded due to being unable to withstand the medicinal power, while forty-five Bee Kings successfully passed this stage.
"The mortality rate in the first stage was nearly fifty percent higher than last time. Is it because the relatively stronger Bee Kings were already selected last time?"
This made Qi Ping a little worried; this beginning wasn't very good!
Second stage: Body mutation, mutating complete mutated organs or bodies.
In the second stage last time, out of thirty-six Bee Kings that passed the first stage, twenty-three died in this stage, with a mortality rate far higher than the first stage.
So by the second stage, Qi Ping's concern grew even stronger.
"Thirty died! Only fifteen made it through the second stage!"
Upon receiving the result, Qi Ping's face immediately darkened.
The mortality rate was still higher than the last time!
Was this the result of the Bee Kings' relatively weaker bodies?
Third stage: Fusing the mutated body parts with the entire body and successfully advancing.
This step directly determined the final outcome.
How many Bee Kings would successfully transform would be decided in this one go!
"Last time, out of thirteen second-stage Bee Kings, four made it through the final stage. I hope at least four of these fifteen can make it through this stage as well."
After a period of anxious waiting, four auras of the first-Rank Late Stage successfully stabilized.
"Four successfully transformed, that's not bad!"
Qi Ping now had an urge to cry tears of joy.
Even if only four successfully transformed in the end, it was still a success for Qi Ping!
Among these four successfully transformed Bee Kings, Qi Ping was very familiar with two; they were still Equilibrium Bees.
This kind of transformation could only be described as decent, but as a basic Bee species for future transformations, Equilibrium Bees also had their pros and cons. Having two more was a good thing, offering more choices.
The last two were what truly surprised Qi Ping.
One Bee had a slender body and a sharp, powerful stinger. Without a doubt, this was the Poisonous Bee Qi Ping had been longing for!
"The Poisonous Bee is finally here!"
As for the other one, its entire body was enveloped in a layer of pitch-black color.
