Chapter 328: Swarm of Bees
After giving them the jade slips of the martial arts technique, Lin Changqing ignored them. He still had to go see his three little earth armor beasts!
The three little ground beetles had grown a lot after not seeing them for half a year. When they saw Lin Changqing, they were extremely excited.
They immediately surrounded Lin Changqing and made their unique calls to him. When he heard the calls, he knew that they wanted to ask him for food just like before.
When Lin Changqing saw them like this, he couldn't help laughing, but he still found a suitable place, took out the monster meat, cut it into small pieces, and fed it to them.
Then he communicated with Lin Changliu in his mind, told it that he was going to Kuangdong, and asked it to help take him there.
These three little guys must be sent back to the cave. He has just seen it all!
The pile of loess crystal ore he prepared for the future purple crystal scorpion cubs had been reduced by about one third in half a year.
The Earth Armor Beasts are indeed not something that ordinary cultivators can afford to raise, so it is better to put them back into the mine and let them do whatever they want there!
He wouldn't feel bad if he let them build the mineral veins that were not taken into the inner space, but he couldn't do that with these that he had specially brought in!
This time when Lin Changqing advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he also gave back a portion of his magic power to Lin Changliu. However, this amount was better than nothing for it.
Soon, Lin Changqing received a sense in his heart and knew that he had arrived at the mine. He then fed each of the three little guys a soul-nourishing pill and put them into the spirit beast bracelet.
Then he exited the inner space and appeared directly in the mine.
I haven't been here for more than half a year. I don't know if there are any new monsters breaking in, so I'm here to prepare for any possible situation.
Lin Changqing used his spiritual sense to check the entire mine again, and only after confirming that there were no problems and it was safe did he let the three little guys out.
They were very excited to be suddenly back in a familiar place. They immediately ran to the open wall and started digging.
Lin Changqing stood behind them and watched their performance. With each claw, a piece of ore fell off, and three clear claw marks were left on the wall.
It feels like mining is similar to cutting vegetables. In a short while, they have dug out a lot of ore.
Then they stopped, dug out the part containing loess crystals with their claws, and then rolled their tongues, and the loess crystals disappeared.
The whole process was very skillful and quick. No wonder he was able to consume so much ore in his inner space in such a short time.
After watching for a while, Lin Changqing communicated with them through the contract and asked them to stay here, after receiving affirmative responses from the three little guys.
He also left some monster meat for them in a corner of the cave so that he could come back after a while. Then Lin Changqing returned to the inner space.
He hadn't seen the queen bee for such a long time, so he had to go and see her just to feel at ease.
When Lin Changqing walked to the tree where the beehive used to hang, he was shocked. The beehive had expanded four or five times. Its diameter was more than four feet and almost five feet.
It is definitely a giant nest. You can see one or two hundred topaz bees coming in and out just near the entrance of the hive.
With a thought, he quickly summoned the queen bee. Soon, this creature with short wings and a big butt appeared in front of Lin Changqing and started dancing the bee dance.
But Lin Changqing didn't like to see it acting weird. What was so interesting about flying around? He just stretched out his hand and let it land in his palm.
I found that the queen bee seemed to have grown a little after not seeing her for half a year, but after a little sensing, I found that she was still at the late stage of the first stage. I started to communicate with the queen bee and asked her why the hive had become so big.
What the queen bee conveyed was that the size of the bee colony had expanded several times compared to before, and now there were almost more than a thousand topaz bees in the colony.
Lin Changqing was a little surprised. Could the spiritual medicines and flowers of the spiritual plants in the inner space, as well as the fifty acres of flowers, really feed so many topaz bees?
He conveyed the question in his mind to Zhao Liyu through the runes in his sea of consciousness.
Soon, Zhao Liyu and Xu Meiniang came over together, and Zhao Liyu spoke to Lin Changqing and said, "Master, this is what happened.
We see that there are still many wastelands in the inner space, but we don’t have the ability to plant spiritual plants on them.
So I just randomly scattered the collected flower seeds in a rough area to see if they could survive.
Unexpectedly, not long after, flowers sprouted everywhere. I estimate that the area is at least two to three hundred acres, and now it is full of flowers. This is also the main reason for supporting the expansion of the bee colony."
After hearing this, he knew what was going on. However, this was also a blessing in disguise. Lin Changqing even flew over there specially to take a look.
Because the flower seeds were scattered randomly, the flowers that grew were scattered in clusters here and there. But walking among them, it was still quite artistic. However, it was still far inferior to the Tianxiang Valley in the Ziyang Secret Realm.
However, Lin Changqing was already very satisfied. It would be a waste to leave these wastelands empty anyway, so he might as well make use of them.
Besides, if you want to plant spiritual medicine or plants in the future, you can move these flowers away or even pull them out.
Lin Changqing specifically instructed Zhao Liyu and the other person to do the same in the future and build a large flower farm of about a thousand acres along this area.
Seeing that Lin Changqing liked it, Zhao Liyu and Xu Meiniang quickly agreed and promised to collect flower seeds when they were free and complete the task given by Lin Changqing as soon as possible.
Then Lin Changqing returned to the queen bee spirit and gave it the order to train a new generation of queen bees and prepare for the division of the nest.
After receiving the order, the queen bee was very reluctant, but she had no choice but to disobey Lin Changqing's order.
Finally, they agreed and gave feedback to Lin Changqing, telling him that it would take about a month to cultivate a new generation of queen bees.
Lin Changqing agreed immediately. His sister and Lin Changlian knew about the purchase of the topaz bee.
Now that the colony of topaz bees is so large, it is just right to separate out two or three hundred spirit bees and bring them to Ao Yun Peak to raise them. I can also make some honey for my sister in the future.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, he was about to exit the inner space, when he suddenly remembered that there was not a single Hundred-Year-Old Red Fruit in his storage bag.
So he went back to the yard, to the room where the spoils and spiritual fruits were stored, and specifically counted Zhu Guoran's inventory, and found that there were a total of 1,260 pieces.
After thinking for a while, he took out a jade box and put thirty-six pieces in it.
Another 600 pieces were separated out and five large jade boxes were found. Each box contained 120 red fruits, and then spirit-sealing talismans were specially affixed on them so that some of them could be preserved.
