Soul Chasing Bee

If Wang Shouye doesn't return, the hope for the family's revival will be gone. Although Wang Daochang's talent is also very good, his main Spiritual Root is fire, which prevents him from cultivating the water-attribute cultivation methods and spells left by Wang Chengzhu.

The Wang Family also doesn't have any top-tier fire-attribute cultivation methods. Wang Daochang's potential and his contribution to the family are far inferior to Wang Shouye's.

The Elders were all regretting why they hadn't opposed the Patriarch bringing Wang Shouye out back then. Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret in the world.

"How about a few of us go to meet and support Shouye?" one Elder inquired.

The other Elders echoed his sentiment.

Wang Jize waved his hand and said, "Someone needs to go and support him, but it won't be of much use if you go. I'll make the trip myself. After I leave, you all stabilize the clansmen. Don't let the Patriarch and Shouye be fine, but have chaos erupt within the clan."

The Elders all agreed in unison.

Wang Jize flew his sword towards the northwest.

Wang Daoyuan and Wang Daoxing, having just narrowly escaped death, were not assigned any tasks by the Elders and returned to their respective cave dwellings to rest.

Upon returning to his cave dwelling, Wang Daoyuan sent his Spiritual Sense into the Spirit Pearl Space to carefully examine the Storage Bags and Spirit Beast Bags left by Zhang Dacheng.

After Zhang Dacheng's death, he left behind three Storage Bags. Wang Daoyuan had thrown two of them to him. This miser truly valued his wealth over his life.

In the Spirit Beast Bag, there was only a dead mouse, which Wang Daoyuan casually tossed into the pond to feed the fish.

Zhang Dacheng's own Storage Bag contained only a beast skin book, three jade slips, and a few Spirit Stones. It was truly pathetic, lacking any semblance of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's dignity. He could only hope that these three jade slips would bring some surprise.

The first jade slip recorded a second-order spell – the Earthquake Art, which was the spell Zhang Dacheng used to block Wang Daoyuan's earth escape technique.

This spell could not only break earth escape techniques but also had a certain impact on all spells cast with the aid of the earth. Earth-attribute spells, in particular, gained more power when cast by borrowing from the earth. The Earthquake Art could be considered the bane of earth-attribute cultivators. This spell was quite practical, but unfortunately, it was an earth-attribute spell, which Wang Daoyuan couldn't learn for the time being.

The second jade slip recorded an earth-attribute cultivation method called the Earth Origin Art. It was likely Zhang Dacheng's main cultivation method, capable of cultivating to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Wang Daoyuan had already reached the late stage of Qi Condensation. Switching cultivation methods before Foundation Establishment would be disadvantageous. Moreover, Wang Daoyuan had a balanced Five-element Spiritual Root, making the cultivation of a single-attribute method not very meaningful. After Foundation Establishment, he would choose a multi-attribute cultivation method if he were to change his cultivation method.

Keeping this Earth Origin Art would be of no use. It would be more appropriate to hand it over to the family along with the Earthquake Art in exchange for contribution points. A cultivation method that could cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment was quite valuable in a small family like the Wang Family.

The third jade slip instantly energized Wang Daoyuan. This jade slip recorded the Spirit Taming Secret Codex.

This secret codex did not contain any cultivation methods or spells. The entire text was about spirit beasts, including their breeding, taming, and recognition of masters. This was practically a beast tamer's inheritance!

The so-called spirit beasts were tamed demonic beasts. Both flying and ground beasts could be called spirit beasts.

Unfortunately, the beast taming methods recorded in the jade slip were only up to the second-order level. More advanced content was the core secret of the Myriad Spirit Sect, something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could not possess.

However, it was extremely suitable for the Wang Family, as they didn't have the strength to capture third-order demonic beasts.

This item could not be revealed now; it was an inheritance from the Myriad Spirit Sect. Wang Daoyuan might not be held accountable for killing a Myriad Spirit Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator, but if he dared to openly flaunt the Myriad Spirit Sect's inheritance, it would be an insult to the Myriad Spirit Sect.

For Wang Daoyuan, this secret codex was a timely arrival. The Long-tailed Bees in the Spirit Pearl Space had not yet recognized him as their master.

Besides producing honey, he wanted the Long-tailed Bees to be able to help him in combat. Unfortunately, without a method for them to recognize him as their master, these Long-tailed Bees wouldn't obey him. If he released them, it would be good enough if they didn't attack him.

Now that he had the Spirit Taming Secret Codex, he could have the Bee King recognize him as its master.

There was too little nectar source in the space, severely limiting the population of the Long-tailed Bees. If the Bee King could recognize him as its master, he could release the swarm and let them gather nectar in the outside world to expand their population. The terrifying aspect of spirit insects was their sheer numbers.

In the future, if he obtained a new Bee King, he could also divide the swarm, and the divided swarms could be handed over to the family...

There was also a beast skin book. Upon opening it, the first page had the words "Myriad Spirits Compendium" written in large characters. Judging by the name, it was also something from the Myriad Spirit Sect, another hot potato.

This beast skin book was only two to three inches thick, but it contained a vast amount of information. This information was not written on the beast skin but imprinted on it using Spiritual Sense. Each page was equivalent to a jade slip.

This Myriad Spirits Compendium recorded information about various spirit beasts, including their appearance, habits, and talents. The entire book was divided into four sections: Ground Beasts, Flying Beasts, Spirit Insects, and Water Spirits, respectively explaining ground beasts, flying beasts, spirit insects, and aquatic demonic beasts.

Wang Daoyuan flipped open the Water Spirits section and quickly found information about the Clear River Carp. It even mentioned his catching of the Clear River Carp. This book was updated in real-time, suddenly giving him a feeling of being on television or in a newspaper from his past life.

Afterward, he opened the Spirit Insects section, wanting to find records about the Long-tailed Bees. He only found them after flipping to the end.

These bees were not called Long-tailed Bees, but "Soul Chasing Bees." These spirit bees were only discovered about a hundred years ago when a Golden Core Elder of the Myriad Spirit Sect found them deep within the Skyrend Mountain Range during his travels.

Because these spirit bees were discovered not long ago, there was not much information about their habits and potential. It could only be confirmed that these spirit bees were related to Spirit Seeking Bees, possibly a mutated form of them.

Spirit Seeking Bees, as their name suggests, liked to seek out spiritual objects with rich spiritual energy, including spiritual herbs and materials, and could help their masters find treasures, hence they were jokingly called treasure-seeking bees. These bees were slender and flew very fast, excelling at finding high-grade spiritual herbs, thus their honey was of high quality.

Soul Chasing Bees were similar in appearance to Spirit Seeking Bees, only slightly larger. Their bodies and wings were more slender, and their flight speed was faster. They still retained their preference for seeking spiritual objects, but the quality of the spirit honey they produced was far inferior to that of Spirit Seeking Bees, ranking only as average among spirit honey of the same tier.

Spirit Seeking Bees disliked conflict and would not actively attack humans except near their nests. Soul Chasing Bees, however, were completely belligerent, frequently attacking humans and demonic beasts. Their teeth and stingers were very sharp, and their venom was quite potent.

Once attacked, an entire swarm of Soul Chasing Bees would relentlessly pursue the attacker until one side was dead. Coupled with their ability to seek out spiritual objects, remember the scent of their attackers, and their extremely high flight speed, they earned the name "Soul Chasing Bees."

These Soul Chasing Bees were discovered only in the last century and were so valuable. Why would the Myriad Spirit Sect let them roam freely? Killing an assassin just like that yielded such a good item. Could that assassin also be from the Myriad Spirit Sect? Perhaps even a descendant of that Myriad Spirit Sect Elder.

Wang Daoyuan was somewhat speechless. He had clashed with the Myriad Spirit Sect again.

He had originally planned to hand over the Soul Chasing Bees to the family after they had divided into swarms, but now it seemed they were once again connected to the Myriad Spirit Sect. It would be better not to bring them out to avoid any misunderstandings about his relationship with the Myriad Spirit Sect.

After reading the introduction to the Soul Chasing Bees, he noticed a major characteristic of the Soul Chasing Bees: their ability to track people and objects by scent.
