CHAPTER 146: CHAPTER 146 BEE SPIRIT POWDER

"Chu Kingdom Spirit Insect Breeding Method."

This book comes from the Gu Daoist, obtained from his Storage Bag.

The book records various methods for breeding and taming spirit insects and gu insects.

When breeding the Golden Silk Silkworms, Lu Yuanshan had also browsed through this book.

Currently, those three Golden Silk Silkworms have been bred by Lu Yuanshan, and their condition is quite good.

After long-term cultivation and breeding, the silk produced by these three little fellows is not much.

The length of the silk combined is less than one zhang, all temporarily stored, waiting to accumulate more before refining it into a powerful magical artifact of Tier Three grade.

This process will take one or two years, but won’t take too long.

"In this book, I remember there is a Chapter on the breeding and taming of the White Jade Bee, the content is quite detailed and might be helpful for your capture mission this time."

The two of them flipped through the book and quickly found the pages on the White Jade Bee.

The record is quite comprehensive, not only including methods of breeding and taming.

But also the White Jade Bee’s living habits, its natural enemies, and even how to properly capture the White Jade Bee are detailed in the record.

"Tier One Middle Grade Spirit Pill, Bee Spirit Powder."

The two of them found a method for capturing the White Jade Bee.

The White Jade Bee has a wild nature and is extremely difficult to capture, but the Cultivation Realm never lacks clever people.

Since Ancient Times, when ancient spirit insect races were large and complex, a Great Divine Power User passed down a wonderful method to capture the White Jade Bee.

By refining a Spirit Pill called Bee Spirit Powder and triggering the rich scent in the pill, it can break the control of the White Jade Bee King over the swarm, causing the swarm to lose their ability to move and fall into a confused state.

They won’t attack people nor fight among themselves, becoming very manageable.

Gathering the herbs needed to refine the Bee Spirit Powder is not difficult, a trip to Qinghe Market will suffice, costing around three hundred Spirit Stones.

Then handing it over to She Qingqing for refining, refining a Tier One Middle Grade Bee Spirit Powder would be quite easy.

"Sect Leader, let’s use this Bee Spirit Powder to assist in the capture. After capturing them, I’ll do my best to take care of the White Jade Bees."

With this "Chu Kingdom Spirit Insect Breeding Method," Lu Xuelian gradually gained confidence.

"Then this task of capturing the White Jade Bee, you’ll be part of it. I’ll have Elder Zhiwei accompany you for support."

The Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer White Jade Bee King is still somewhat dangerous for Lu Xuelian to handle alone, the disciple’s safety must be ensured.

Even with the use of Bee Spirit Powder, Lu Yuanshan worries that the White Jade Bee King’s strength being the strongest might reduce the effectiveness of such a Spirit Pill, precautions must be taken, and Lu Zhiwei must accompany.

"I’ll take care of the Bee Spirit Powder matter. She Qingqing can refine this Spirit Pill, and the herbs aren’t hard to find."

After the instructions, Lu Yuanshan immediately got busy with this matter, with no habit of delaying.

He communicated with Xu Yecheng at Qinghe Market, after purchasing all the herbs needed for refining Bee Spirit Powder, Lu Yuanshan received the herbs the same day and handed them to She Qingqing for refining.

It took half a day for She Qingqing to refine the Bee Spirit Powder, a total of three portions, enough for use.

Just before Lu Xuelian accepted the task and prepared to set out, Chu Qin learned of the news and proactively sought out Lu Yuanshan to volunteer, expressing the desire to assist Lu Xuelian on this mission.

"You’ve now reached Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer and recently won fourth place in the sect’s competition, your strength is already quite good among your fellow senior brothers, with great potential in the future."

"Although Elder Zhiwei and Lu Xuelian will ensure her safety this time, since you’re eager to help, you can go out for experience."

Lu Yuanshan was unaware of the subtle relationship between Lu Xuelian and Chu Qin, only seeing Chu Qin’s sincerity in assisting the sect and agreed.

Lu Zhiwei, Lu Xuelian, and Chu Qin left Cyan Mountain Sect and headed north, taking half a day to reach the northern part of Lushan County, where Hundred Flowers Valley is located.

Lu Ping was accompanying them.

Without Reputation Points, staying within the sect, he could do nothing but wander around, it was better to go out for a walk.

In the Hundred Flowers Valley, flowers bloom everywhere of various kinds, with the fragrance of flowers spreading all around, rich and refreshing.

Walking among the flowers, the three felt extremely pleasant and comfortable, even having the urge to admire the flowers, often stopping and lingering along the way.

After all, the team had two girls, who are naturally fond of beauty, and their appreciation for the surrounding flowers was only natural.

Chu Qin saw that Lu Xuelian also wished to admire the flowers, and promptly accompanied her, enjoying themselves greatly.

Seeing them happy like this, Lu Ping did not urge them forward.

A break for relaxation is necessary apart from cultivation.

The scenery in the Hundred Flowers Valley is lovely, with fresh air, indeed an excellent place.

The White Jade Bees have fixed nests; they won’t fly away, so there was no need to rush at the moment.

After resting and lingering for a while in the Hundred Flowers Valley, Lu Ping then continued guiding.

"It’s just ahead, in the area where there are more than ten Ginkgo trees, on the tallest one among them is where the White Jade Bee’s nest is placed."

Based on system markings, Lu Ping could see details and find the specific location of the White Jade Bee’s nest.

It’s just like setting navigation directly to the White Jade Bee’s nest.

He only communicated this to Lu Zhiwei alone, who nodded slightly and led Chu Qin and Lu Xuelian toward the bee nest.

Soon, making progress through the Ginkgo grove, Lu Zhiwei found the bee nest.

The bee nest is about the size of a face basin, shaped like a regular honeybee hive but slightly yellowish, with more than ten White Jade Bees flying around it.

The White Jade Bee is not entirely white, as jade-like, rather it’s named for its honey production.

The White Jade Honey is a crystal clear pure white, similar to white jade, hence the name White Jade Bee.

The White Jade Bee itself is mostly off-white, and its size and state aren’t much different from regular bees.

"There really is a White Jade Bee nest here, it seems we’ve really struck gold this time."

Lu Zhiwei showed interest in her eyes.

It was her first time seeing such a spirit insect, with more interest than when she first saw the Golden Silk Silkworm.

"Yes, Second Elder, according to regional records, the White Jade Bee shows up rarely, mostly only in the deep southern wilderness of Lingxi State southwest, with the rest bred by major Cultivation Sects."

Before setting out, Lu Xuelian thoroughly researched and investigated the White Jade Bee, reading various ancient texts and was quite knowledgeable about this spirit insect.

"Throughout the Chu Kingdom, only Heaven-Facing Sect breeds a few White Jade Bees, capable of refining a batch of Jade Bee Pill every five years, never sold outside, only supplied to core disciples and high-level sect descendants."

"This time, as long as we capture these little fellows well, we can try making Jade Bee Pill ourselves in the future, comparable to the elixir from Heaven-Facing Sect, and it will be easier for allocation within our sect."

Gazing at the bee nest, Lu Xuelian was eager to get started.
