Chapter 251 Pollen and Nectar
I am not in a dead-end seclusion here. I can go out at any time. I can go out more often after practicing. If someone really comes, I can just deal with it myself.
Three years is a very long time. Qingyang is just sixteen years old now. In three years, he will be nineteen. If he were in the secular world, he should get married and have children at this age, but here in Qingfeng Palace, he is just doing a menial task. It is really touching.
If I were still in Yuling City, I could at most improve my cultivation from the seventh level of Kaimai Realm to the eighth level in three years. As for the ninth level, I dare not even think about it, because the environment and conditions in Yuling City cannot be compared with this place, not to mention that I have to take time out from time to time to earn cultivation resources.
However, here, there is no shortage of cultivation resources for the time being, and there is no interference from worldly affairs. Qingyang feels that after three years of continuous meditation, he should be able to improve his cultivation to the peak of the eighth level of Kaimai Realm, or just enter the ninth level, which is the current level of Lu Dingshan.
As for the peak of the ninth level or the Qi Refining Stage, Qingyang did hope for it, but looking at the current situation, the possibility is not too great. This speed is not slow among the menial disciples, but it is far behind those disciples assigned to the inner and outer courtyards. They have good qualifications and sufficient resources. Will I always lag behind them? Is there no shortcut?
Speaking of shortcuts, Qingyang thought of two. One is to use a large number of spirit stones to pile up. The cultivation level will definitely increase quickly, but this method is too extravagant and he can't afford it.
The other is related to alcoholic bees. I remember that there was a lot of honey in the beehive in the abandoned garden in the secret place. Qingyang and Master Songhe made great progress in martial arts by eating the honey in it. Ordinary alcoholic bee honey is so powerful. Now that alcoholic bees have advanced, the honey collected should be more powerful, right?
If I take more higher-level honey and other things, won't I be able to quickly improve my cultivation? More importantly, honey has no drug resistance and can be taken all the time, unlike the pills that increase cultivation such as Yangqi Pills, the effect will become smaller and smaller if used more.
There are too few spiritual flowers nearby, so the alcoholic bees can't collect much honey. There's no need to think about this, but isn't there a large area of spiritual valley in front of us? The pollen collected by the alcoholic bees should also have an effect, right? But this needs to be discussed with the alcoholic bee queen. It's not easy to snatch food from the bees.
Thinking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. If there were a lot of spiritual flowers to assist, he could improve his cultivation faster. Maybe he could reach the critical point of breaking through the Kaimai realm in these three years, and even become a Qi training cultivator.
Do it as soon as you think of it. Qingyang quickly stood up and came to the outside of the small hut. He waved his hand to call back a group of alcoholic bees, and then expressed his request with his mind.
This time it was not as smooth as last time. It was not easy to make the other party understand what he meant, but the alcoholic queen bee was immediately furious. What? To share his honey and pollen? Why? Why should I share the good things I worked so hard to get with others?
Of course, it was based on Qingyang's identity. He was the owner of the Drunken Immortal Gourd and the master of the Alcoholic Queen Bee. There were restrictions on the insect control technique, and the Alcoholic Queen Bee had to agree. Under Qingyang's coercion and inducement, and the promise of two jars of Baihua Wine every year and countless spiritual wines in the future, the Alcoholic Queen Bee reluctantly agreed to this request. They could share 30% of the pollen and nectar they collected in the future with Qingyang.
This condition was not a loss for the alcoholic bees. They could not use up the pollen and nectar they collected, so it was nothing to share some with Qingyang. Moreover, Qingyang was their master. Even if they were forced to take it away, they could not refuse, not to mention that the master had promised a lot of spiritual wine.
This condition was nothing to Qingyang. The Baihua Wine could buy ten jars with three spiritual stones, which was of low value. Although the spiritual energy increased greatly after being stored in the space of the Drunken Immortal Gourd, it did not cost much for Qingyang, and the price was not worth mentioning. As for the countless spiritual wines in the future, they were all things for the future. As long as the cultivation level was improved, it would be easier to earn spiritual stones to buy spiritual wine.
However, this condition almost drained Qingyang's collection of spiritual wine. The spiritual wine he bought from the old wine seller in Yuling City, now only has one jar of Wulingchun and six jars of Baihua wine. The jar of Wulingchun was intended to be used to break through the Qi Refining Stage. In the past three years, six jars of Baihua wine were given to the alcoholic bees, and he could not drink a drop.
It seems that this spiritual wine has become a must-have for me. I will buy more and store it when I encounter it in the future. Whether I drink it myself or feed the alcoholic bees, I will use it. The storage effect of the Zuixian Gourd space is so good, it can't be wasted, right?
After pacifying the alcoholic bees, Qingyang sent them out again, and then returned to the hut, calmed his mind, and began his days of seclusion and hard practice.
It is said to be seclusion and hard practice, but in fact it is similar to the days in the small courtyard of the errand yard. The door is closed and visitors are not welcome. Only when I feel hungry, I get up to make some food to replenish energy, and the rest of the time is spent on cultivation. With the improvement of his cultivation, Qingyang has now adapted to restoring his spirit and physical strength through meditation. Now he no longer needs to take a certain amount of time every day to restore his spirit and physical strength through sleep. He only needs to meditate and practice every day.
In addition to practicing, Qingyang will call back the alcoholic bees every once in a while, check the pollen and nectar they have collected during this period, and divide 30% for himself. Then he will take some of these pollen and nectar with the nourishing pill every once in a while.
This kind of hard training has a very good effect. Qingyang can clearly feel that his cultivation level is improving almost every day, and every month is stronger than before.
Unknowingly, more than two years have passed. In these two years, except for a disciple from the errand yard who comes to deliver daily necessities to Qingyang at the beginning of each month, no one else has disturbed him, and no birds, beasts, insects or birds have suddenly come. Everything is calm and peaceful. Qingyang lives even more comfortably than in the small courtyard of the errand yard.
The spiritual energy in the mountain behind Qingfeng Hall is rich, and there are sufficient nourishing pills and spiritual stones to use. In addition to the 30% pollen and nectar of the alcoholic bees, Qingyang's cultivation level has improved very quickly. Now he has reached the ninth level of Kaimai Realm, which is higher than his cultivation level when he met Lu Dingshan last time.
However, his current cultivation level is still a distance away from the peak of the ninth level of Kaimai Realm, and he has not yet reached the level where he can try to break through the Qi Refining Stage. But the distance is not far. Qingyang estimates that at the current speed, it will take at most another half a year for his cultivation to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Kaimai Realm, and he can try to break through the Qi Refining Stage.
