Soul Chasing Bee Shows Its Might

Now that Uncle Twelve and the others are out there, their fate unknown, the Soul Chasing Bees can be sent out to find them.

From the Spirit Taming Secret Codex, he found the method for Spirit Bee-type Spirit Insects to recognize a master. Controlling Spirit Bees only required the Bee King to recognize a master, and the method was simple: capture the Bee King, subdue it, and then there were various ways to make it obedient.

Wang Daoyuan was too lazy to waste time building a relationship. His Spiritual Sense entered the space, forcibly pulling the Bee King out of the hive, and then he directly suppressed it with his Spiritual Sense, which was comparable to a cultivator at the Qi Refining Peak.

Most Spirit Insects maintained their combat effectiveness through sheer numbers; individually, both their Spiritual Sense and Spiritual Power were very weak. A mid-grade, first-tier Bee King had no power to resist Wang Daoyuan at all.

The Bee King was stunned. If its intelligence were any higher, it might have had some questions: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Anyone would be stunned. It was eating honey and singing songs in its hive, and suddenly it was snatched away by a force, dragged to this strange place, and faced a person so powerful that it had no desire to resist.

Before Wang Daoyuan could even launch a soul attack, the Bee King surrendered.

Wang Daoyuan followed the steps of the master recognition secret technique, forced out a drop of Essence Blood, dripped it onto the Bee King's head, and then used a secret method to establish a master-servant relationship.

The secret method was successfully cast. A Spiritual Sense connection was established between Wang Daoyuan and the Bee King. Through Spiritual Sense, he could issue commands to the Bee King. After recognizing him as master, the Bee King could understand Wang Daoyuan's commands.

Furthermore, as long as Wang Daoyuan wished, with a mere thought, he could make the Bee King suffer excruciating pain. If Wang Daoyuan were to die, the Bee King would also surely die, but if the Bee King died, Wang Daoyuan would not be affected in any way.

With all preparations made, Wang Daoyuan volunteered to Elder Wang Zhiren to go out and search for Uncle Twelve.

During this critical time, Wang Zhiren was worried about him encountering danger. However, after a moment's thought about his combat record, he knew that Wang Daoyuan could protect himself against any opponent below the Foundation Establishment stage, so he was no longer concerned.

Wang Daoyuan had no duties on Jade Spring Peak, and going out to help would also increase the hope of finding Wang Shouye. Thus, he agreed to Wang Daoyuan's request.

Wang Daoyuan left Jade Spring Peak, traveled a thousand miles northwest, and entered Return Goose Mountain. He found a cave and hid inside.

He sent his Spiritual Sense into the Spirit Pearl Space, took out a jar of Crimson Blood Brew, brought out a hundred ordinary Soul Chasing Bees, had them sniff the scent of the Crimson Blood Brew, and then, through the Bee King, commanded them to search within a thousand-mile radius for anyone with the scent of Crimson Blood Brew. Once found, they were not to attack but to report the location.

The hundred Soul Chasing Bees dispersed in all directions, their speed comparable to a Foundation Establishment, first-tier cultivator flying on a sword. They truly lived up to their name as Soul Chasing Bees; even with only a low-grade, first-tier cultivation, they possessed such terrifying speed.

Two hours later, all the Soul Chasing Bees returned. One Soul Chasing Bee reported that eight hundred miles to the north, there was the scent of Crimson Blood Brew, but no one was found nearby.

Wang Daoyuan recalled the other Soul Chasing Bees into the space to rest and rewarded the bee that brought back the news with some Spirit Honey. He ordered it to lead the way to the location where the scent of Crimson Blood Brew was detected.

The Soul Chasing Bees were incredibly fast. Wang Daoyuan applied a Divine Movement Talisman to himself, but he still couldn't keep up. He fully activated the Wind-Treading Boots on his feet, and the Soul Chasing Bees slowed down slightly, allowing him to barely keep pace.

Two hours later, Wang Daoyuan finally arrived at the location where the scent of Crimson Blood Brew had been detected. Even with Wang Daoyuan's sense of smell, he couldn't detect any scent at all.

He released another hundred Soul Chasing Bees from the space and ordered them to search within a thousand-mile radius, centered on this location, for anyone with the scent of Crimson Blood Brew.

An hour and a half later, one Soul Chasing Bee returned, reporting that seven hundred miles to the east, a person with the scent of Crimson Blood Brew was hiding in a rock crevice.

Wang Daoyuan quickly asked the Bee King to inquire if the person was alive or dead. Upon receiving the reply that the person was still alive, Wang Daoyuan was overjoyed and told it to lead the way immediately.

In less than two hours, Wang Daoyuan arrived in front of the rock crevice. His Spiritual Sense probed inside, and he found Wang Shouye still hiding there. He recalled the Soul Chasing Bee that found Wang Shouye into the space and rewarded it with a tael of Spirit Honey. The bee, carrying a large clump of Spirit Honey much bigger than its body, happily darted around the space.

He shouted into the crevice, "Uncle Twelve, it's Daoyuan, I've come to find you."

Wang Shouye did not lower his guard and replied, "How can you prove you are Daoyuan?"

Wang Daoyuan directly took out a jar of Crimson Blood Brew, opened the lid, and fanned the air towards the rock crevice, "If you don't come out soon, I'm going to drink this whole jar myself."

Upon smelling the aroma of the Crimson Blood Brew, Wang Shouye immediately recognized that it was brewed using his own recipe and that the person was indeed Wang Daoyuan.

He shouted back in his still somewhat weak voice, "You brat, daring to tease your old uncle! Save this jar of Crimson Blood Brew for me. If you drink even a drop less, I'll deal with you."

Wang Shouye crawled out of the crevice. His Daoist robe was tattered and stained with blood, and his hair was disheveled... though he always seemed a bit disheveled. Except for his pale complexion, devoid of any color, Wang Daoyuan couldn't tell the difference from his usual messy appearance.

As soon as he crawled out, he snatched the wine jar and let out a series of gulping sounds. He looked like a Russian who hadn't had a drink in a year seeing a bottle of vodka in his past life.

The five pounds of wine were gone in a flash. Whether it was the healing effect of the Crimson Blood Brew or a psychological effect, Wang Shouye's complexion instantly returned to normal, and his entire demeanor revived. It turned out his previous state wasn't due to serious injuries, but a lack of alcohol!

Wang Shouye chuckled sinisterly, "Good nephew, give your old uncle another jar. After drinking one more jar, I'll be able to recover my peak condition, cough cough."

Wang Daoyuan said with a helpless expression, "Just calm down, old man. We're escaping for our lives, not out for a leisurely stroll. Getting home is the priority. Everyone at home is worried sick, like ants on a hot pan. I'll give you ten jars of Crimson Blood Brew when we get back if you want."

Wang Shouye remembered the important matter and said, "Then let's go home. And don't forget to give me ten jars of Crimson Blood Brew."

Wang Daoyuan muttered to himself: Is the Crimson Blood Brew the main point of my words?

The journey home was uneventful. Upon returning to Jade Spring Peak, Wang Jize had already returned. Because Wang Shouye hadn't been found, he and the elders had been looking glum.

Seeing Wang Daoyuan and Wang Shouye walk in, everyone was a bit stunned. They were about to hold a memorial service, and here they were, back in one piece.

Once they recovered, their sad faces instantly turned into smiles. Several pairs of eyes stared intently at Wang Shouye, bombarding him with questions.

Wang Jize cleared his throat and inquired, "Shouye, tell us how you escaped."

Wang Shouye felt Wang Jize's imposing aura and was greatly surprised, "Great Uncle, have you recovered?"

"After I left the battlefield, I used an Earth Escape Talisman to flee hundreds of miles. I only dared to come out after the talisman was used up. Unexpectedly, the moment I surfaced, I ran into a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He chased me for hundreds of miles, and in the end, I had to use all my trump cards to kill that guy.

That guy was only at the first level of Foundation Establishment. Even a sword strike from his sword control technique couldn't break my defense. If he had been an established Foundation Establishment cultivator, I truly wouldn't have made it back.

After killing that Foundation Establishment cultivator, I was also seriously injured. I hid in a rock crevice to heal for three days, and finally, Daoyuan found me."

"Heaven truly blesses our Wang Family! Two Foundation Establishment cultivators were killed in counterattacks," Wang Jize said with relief.

"Who else counter-killed Foundation Establishment cultivators?" Wang Shouye asked.
