Chapter 287 A fleeting thought
In order to avoid running into those people on their way back, Lin Changqing took out three hidden spirit masks from his storage bag, and the three of them put them on.

Then the three of them split into two groups to avoid being too conspicuous. My sister and Lin Changlian walked in front, and Lin Changqing followed behind them.

I walked about fifty feet away, making sure that no one was following me, and finally returned to the rented yard safely.

When entering the yard, Lin Changqing took a look at the room of Lin Changjie and the other two and found that they had not returned yet, so the three of them rested in the living room.

"Brother, how did you know that we were being targeted at the street stall square just now?" Lin Changling asked curiously.

Lin Changqing glanced at the two of them and explained, "I can already guess this!
Do you know how many spirit stones the members of the family's hunting team can earn after working hard for a year?

It's probably around eight hundred to one thousand. After deducting various expenses, it's not easy to save half of it!
Then think about it yourself, how much spiritual stones did we spend just now? At least 7,000 or 8,000 spiritual stones, right? So in the eyes of those robbery cultivators, if you are not a fat sheep, who is the fat sheep?
Now you know how dangerous it is out there! These are just the obvious ones, there are many more unspeakable means!"

"Brother, do you often encounter this kind of thing when you are out there?" Lin Changling asked a little worriedly.

"However, it's not that exaggerated all the time! I just occasionally meet a few ignorant Tribulation Cultivators who give me some spirit stones, spiritual objects, magical tools and other things." Lin Changqing explained.

Hearing Lin Changqing's answer, the younger sister and Lin Changlian looked at each other, a thought flashed through their minds, and they both saw the little stars in each other's eyes.

Lin Changqing didn’t guess what the two of them were thinking, but continued, “You are wearing a Hidden Spirit Mask on your face, I have tried it.

It can completely hide from the consciousness of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, but it won’t work when facing the Purple Mansion Stage cultivator!

I once wore this mask and was found by my great grandmother's apprentice, Senior Kit Chan, so you should be careful when using it. Now I give it to you, and you can make good use of it in the future."

The younger sister and Lin Changlian were overjoyed when they heard this and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, brother. You are so kind! Thank you, ninth brother!"

Lin Changqing nodded and said to Lin Changlian, "That lightning leopard was only born about half a month ago.
Although its eyes have opened, we may still need to feed it with some animal milk or something like that. Only when it grows a little bigger can we feed it monster meat!

Lin Changling has the master-servant contract, ask her to teach you!"

Lin Changlian nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Jiu! But the question now is, where can I get the animal milk?"

Lin Changqing smiled and said, "In such a big market, there must be animal milk. I don't know.

You can go ask the hotel waiter, if he can help you get it, then give him one or two spirit stones, this can save you a lot of trouble, it couldn't be better!

Of course, if you really can't get it, you can go ask Uncle Qi directly, but if you want to leave the hotel, you must tell me! Do you two understand?"

The two nodded, and seemed eager to try. Lin Changqing waved his hand and asked them to get the animal milk first.

After the two of them left, Lin Changqing returned to his room, activated the maze formation, and then took out the net bag-shaped magic weapon covering the nest of spirit bees from the spirit beast bag.

After observing for a while, he found that most of the bees outside were worker bees, with only a few drones. He then probed his spiritual sense into the hive.

It was like a maze inside, with many paths leading to all directions. Lin Changqing also spent a little time to find the way.
It took time to find the queen bee.

While searching for the queen bee, Lin Changqing also roughly counted the number of mutant topaz bees in this nest, which was about 500.
Among them are one first-stage mid-stage queen bee, about twenty first-stage mid-stage drones, and the rest are first-stage early-stage worker bees.

After carefully observing this nest of mutated topaz bees, we found some irregular golden spots on their foreheads, bodies, and wings.

An ordinary topaz queen bee could only possibly reach the top of the first level of great perfection, while a mutated topaz queen bee had a great chance of breaking through to the second level.

One ounce of honey produced by ordinary topaz bees is equivalent to one top-grade Qi-gathering pill, which is about ten spirit stones. However, because honey is a natural spirit object without pill poison, the price has to be doubled, that is, one ounce of honey is worth about twenty spirit stones.

If a nest of topaz bees can collect enough pollen every year, they can produce about two to three kilograms of honey in addition to the part they consume.

That's 500 spirit stones here. If ordinary topaz bees cost more than 2,000, or a nest of 3,000 spirit stones, it may take only five or six years to get your money back.

Because these are mutated spirit bees, it cost five thousand spirit stones to buy them, and it will take ten years to get your money back.

But if one day, the queen bee can be promoted to the second level, it will be different. One or two ounces of second-level honey will cost fifty or sixty spirit stones at the cheapest, and hundreds of spirit stones for the better ones.

In fact, the stall owner seized on the selling point of the mutant spirit bee, and his main selling point was the future, that this mutant queen bee might be able to advance to the second level.

Therefore, they dared to double the price. This was also the reason why those people had been trying to bargain down the price. Finally, Lin Changqing found an opportunity and decisively took action to pick up a small bargain.

The reason for taking out this nest of topaz bees now is to first contract the queen bee and let it control its worker bees and drones, so that Lin Changqing will dare to put them into the inner space.

Otherwise, without the restraint of the queen bee, the people and spirit beasts in the inner space would probably be in trouble soon.

He began to refine the net bag-shaped magic weapon. Now that Lin Changqing's spiritual awareness was strong, he finished refining the magic weapon in a short while.

After some consideration, I realized that it would not be easy to get the queen bee out alone since she was hiding inside the hive, so I simply put it into the spirit beast bracelet together with the refined net bag magic weapon.

Then he took the net bag back inside, and all of a sudden the whole space of the spirit beast bracelet was filled with bees flying around.

However, Lin Changqing didn't care about them. He sent a flying sword in directly, carefully cut the beehive in half, and then took out the queen bee.

Although the queen bee also has a stinger, it does not have much attack power in Lin Changqing's hands.

Moreover, this time the queen bee is left alone and can’t cause any trouble!
Looking closely at this little guy, it is about three times the size of an ordinary worker bee, with relatively short wings and a relatively large abdomen that accounts for about three-fifths of its body. There are golden spots in many places on its body.

As the queen of the entire colony, the queen bee is very spiritual. Lin Changqing knew that it would definitely understand, so he communicated with it directly using his spiritual consciousness. Without much resistance, the queen bee was subdued smoothly.

He simply chanted the spell of the master-servant contract, then pierced his finger with the golden light needle, forcing out a tiny drop of blood essence containing his own spiritual energy, and dotted it on the queen bee's forehead.

He was quickly absorbed into the queen bee's sea of ​​consciousness. He could immediately sense the queen bee's presence in his mind, and through the contract, he could also feel the queen bee's message of submission.

I held this little guy in my palm and decided to give it a name. I saw that its body was mainly yellow, dotted with many golden spots.

So, we decided to name it Jinyun. There is no special meaning. I just hope that she will lay more eggs and the bee colony will be as numerous as clouds in the future.

Then he told it the name he gave it through the contract. Unexpectedly, the little guy was quite happy and danced in Lin Changqing's palm.

Lin Changqing took a look and found it quite interesting, but he still asked it to perform again next time and once again conveyed new commands to Jin Yun through the contract.

After letting it enter the inner space, be sure to control all the worker bees and drones, and never let them attack the people and spirit beasts inside.

Queen Bee Jin Yun is very smart and the feedback she gives back is very clear, so Lin Changqing feels relieved.
