"With the growth rate of hundred spirit grass, as long as I rent a larger place and plant a large amount of hundred spirit grass."
"In that case, not only will I no longer need to worry about the Bees' food supply, but I won't even need to worry about exploding their numbers several times over."
Qi Ping hadn't expected that a common Spirit Medicine would directly solve his problems of Bee food supply and exploding numbers!
"Indeed, one cannot underestimate any seemingly insignificant thing."
Who would have thought that the fellow who was initially like a useless Big Belly Bee had actually transformed into a Brewer Big Belly Bee with a rare Talent? If it were a typical Insect Controller, they might have directly crushed it.
And this hundred spirit grass, which was tasteless to eat and a pity to discard, actually directly solved Qi Ping's troubling problems of Bee food supply and exploding numbers!
"The remaining question now is whether the Brewer Big Belly Bee can purify and fuse the medicinal properties of the hundred spirit grass."
"And how to test out the Bailing Honey formula suitable for sale."
"If this Bailing Honey can successfully produce a formula, earning Spirit Stone with it would truly make me rich."
The Bailing Honey doesn't need to be exceptionally effective; as long as it reaches the standard of a normal First Order Low-grade or close to a normal First Order Intermediate Spirit Medicine, it would be entirely sufficient.
The key is that hundred spirit grass grows quickly and has low cost; essentially, selling it would be pure profit.
Moreover, there's another benefit: no need to worry about being coveted for it. After all, which Foundation Establishment or power would target this kind of honey that might not even reach First Order Intermediate grade?
As for those below Foundation Establishment, Qi Ping was willing to call them Money-Giving Children, especially after he completed his explosion of numbers. Below Foundation Establishment, basically whoever came would die. At worst, Qi Ping could escape without any problem.
"Furthermore, there's the sole risk to try and avoid: being seen that the Bailing Honey's raw material is hundred spirit grass. As long as the formula reaches a level where even my Grand Brewer Talent cannot discern it, the risk can be eliminated."
As long as this risk can be avoided, even if the effect is a little lower, it doesn't matter.
After determining his future path of exploding numbers and making money, Qi Ping felt refreshed.
Half of the most troublesome problem at hand was solved. Now, all that was left was to rent a good Spiritual Land.
"Once I earn Spirit Stone, I can consider purchasing a third Animal Companion."
"If I can get the Soul Nourishing Pill formula and corresponding Spirit Medicine, purchasing a Phantom Moon White Fox with Divine Soul, Comprehension Ability, and Illusion Talent would also be good."
"Divine Soul Spirit Beast are quite rare. In the entire Qing Shi County, apart from the Magic Insect King, this might be the only one that can be found. As long as a suitable Soul Nourishing Pill-related Soul Nourishing Honey is tested, it's not impossible to use it as the third Animal Companion."
This would help him strengthen his Divine Soul, reduce the difficulty of Breakthrough, and compensate for the Bee Swarm's Divine Soul weakness.
However, Qi Ping might not necessarily purchase and contract a Phantom Moon White Fox. It still depends on future needs and Opportunity. If there are more suitable and powerful Spirit Beast, Qi Ping would also consider other Spirit Beast.
Anyway, the next steps are to make money and explode numbers first.
And to quickly promote one of the Bee Swarm and Crow to Second Order.
"As for the mysterious Alchemist mentioned by Boss Gao, if she targets me and harbors ill intentions, then I will temporarily avoid her sharp edge, use the spirit origin stone pillar to let my Animal Companion Breakthrough to Second Order, and then find an Opportunity to kill her."
"Anyway, as long as she's not from the Qingyuan Sect, there's no need to worry so much. I just happen to be missing an Alchemist Legacy. At worst, I'll let the Bees who took action escape the Qingtian Domain, and it won't be traced back to me."
If Boss Gao knew Qi Ping's current thoughts, he would definitely be shocked.
The Three Great Families dared not touch her, yet Qi Ping actually wanted to kill her directly?
While Boss Gao went to help Qi Ping purchase Moon Sleep Flower, Sun Essence Flower, and hundred spirit grass seeds, Qi Ping quietly waited at Boss Gao's Zhishi Trading Company.
And with Boss Gao's familiarity with Qing Shi Market, it wasn't long before he collected all the items for Qi Ping.
It cost a total of thirty-seven Spirit Stone, and he obtained a large pile of Spirit Medicine seeds for Qi Ping.
Moon Sleep Flower, Sun Essence Flower, and hundred spirit grass these items were not worth much money. It was just that Qi Ping wanted a relatively large quantity, otherwise, a few Spirit Stone could buy a lot.
In addition, Boss Gao also bought three of the most ordinary Storage Pouch for Qi Ping. Boss Gao got a discount, forty Spirit Stone each, costing Qi Ping a total of one hundred twenty Spirit Stone.
At this point, Qi Ping only had five hundred forty-odd Spirit Stone left on him.
The rent for Area B Spiritual Land usually cost around three hundred to five hundred Spirit Stone, plus the three-tenths increase in rent, five hundred forty-odd Spirit Stone might even be a bit tight.
Thus, Qi Ping again thought of the Black Little Bee honey he had collected during this period.
After selling these to Boss Gao, Qi Ping sold them for fifty-odd Spirit Stone, just enough to bring his Spirit Stone to six hundred seven.
In this way, Qi Ping finally had enough rent for the Area B Spiritual Land.
After purchasing the necessary Materials, Qi Ping bade farewell to Boss Gao.
And Boss Gao, looking at Qi Ping's departing back, his kind face also fell into contemplation.
He also didn't know if Qi Ping could survive this storm, only hoping that the Facial Disguise and Bone Shrinking Technique could give Qi Ping some help.
He felt that if Qi Ping survived, he could also bring him considerable benefits.
Boss Gao also knew that Qi Ping was not the kind of person who liked to dwell on small matters. If Qi Ping truly became a powerful figure in the future, he would also have the Opportunity to serve him.
Befriending people with potential and not being evil towards others was Boss Gao's philosophy of survival.
These brought him considerable benefits, otherwise, with his Talent, it would be impossible for him to Cultivate to Qi Refining Sixth Layer, and even Qi Refining Ninth Layer might not be out of reach.
After leaving the Zhishi Trading Company, Qi Ping indeed found that Qing Shi Market was much livelier than before.
It was just that there were many more unfamiliar faces among them.
Qi Ping could also easily distinguish these foreign Cultivator who did not belong to Qing Shi County. This difference could be felt after living in Qing Shi County for a long time.
"It seems that Qing Shi Market might no longer be safe."
"A mysterious Alchemist made Meng Yan, the iron tower man who is an Elder Disciple of the Qingyuan Sect, quite wary, let alone the other people in Qing Shi County."
"Troubles are truly increasing. I must be even more cautious from now on."
Thinking of this, Qi Ping only wanted to quicken his steps and leave this place. It would be better to come here less often in the future, and even if he had to come, he would have to have mastered the Facial Disguise and Bone Shrinking Technique first.
However, he still restrained this urge to leave quickly and tried to walk out of Qing Shi Market in a normal manner.
After all, being overly anxious might also attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
Only after leaving Qing Shi Market for more than ten li, Qi Ping still sighed helplessly.
According to the bad news transmitted by the surrounding Bee Swarm: an enemy had followed him.
He changed his route several times, but the enemy still followed him, and the Bees also sensed a hostile and murderous intent.
However, the good news was: there was only one enemy, whose aura was initially estimated to be around Qi Refining Eighth Layer.
Final assessment: Money-Giving Child.
But even with such a seemingly certain victory, Qi Ping still made thorough battle plans and escape plans.
And once the enemy was killed, Qi Ping planned to transform into a High-Speed Ring-Cutting Bee and escape via an unconventional route, and he also needed to have some Bees carry the Storage Pouch and escape separately, confirming safety before returning them to Qi Ping's hands, to avoid this being a bait.
