Six-Colored Bee Queen
The sky was already beginning to brighten, with the clear moon and vast stars appearing and disappearing in the pale light.
With a flash of light from the Spirit Beast pouch, a Six-Color Poison Bee, as thick as three fingers held together, appeared before Ye Jingcheng.
The poisonous bee had gained an extra pair of wings, and at the same time, its strange abdominal sac was covered with rings of Spirit Patterns, alternating in six colors.
Of course, don't be fooled by the six colors; they represent even more toxins, and the extra color matches the color of Ye Jingcheng's Jade-Scale Snake.
In addition, perhaps due to its larger size, other parts of the Six-Color Bee King also appear more ferocious.
Its compound eyes all appear quite large.
The Deadly Poison stinger was a full five inches long, and the tip of the Poison Needle became extremely black, making it look as if it might drip Deadly Poison venom at any moment.
As for its aura, it was comparable to Spirit Beast that had just advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Clearly, the Five Poison Bee's advancement went very smoothly this time, and it became Six-Color Bee King.
"Buzz!" The Six-Color Bee King seemed particularly excited, and her intelligence had increased considerably.
It even knows to use the bee dance that Ye Jingcheng taught it to express its goodwill.
They kept jumping around Ye Jingcheng.
However, while the Five Poison Bees perform a beautiful bee dance, the Six-Color Bee King's dance appears somewhat clumsy and bulky.
Ye Jingcheng continued looking at the Treasure Book and found that the page with the Five Poison Bees was completely lit up, with no more Pill Formulas or additional illustrations.
Clearly, advancing to the sixth color level has reached its limit, and it is impossible to go any further.
It's as if the encyclopedia has been lit up.
This represents the end of the potential of the Six-Color Bee King.
In other words, the ultimate level of the Six-Color Bee King is estimated to be capped at the mid-stage of the second tier of Demon Beasts.
This can actually be roughly determined from the Jade Ring Rat.
Even so, Ye Jingcheng's fondness for the Six-Color Bee King only increased.
With this Six-Color Bee King, they can produce second-tier spirit honey. Unlike other Spirit Beasts that only consume their spirit resources, the Six-Color Bee King can produce additional spirit resources.
Moreover, even in combat, it can lead hundreds of Five Poison Bees, and its combat power is by no means weak.
Even disregarding the potential losses, these Five Poison Bees would be enough to make even Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators flee in terror and keep their distance.
In addition, Ye Jingcheng also looked forward to the magnificent scene that would unfold when the Six-Color Bee King became a second-tier Spirit Insect.
Perhaps we'll see even more talented Five Poison Bees among the new Spirit Insects.
Ye Jingcheng took out some spirit honey and gave it to the Six-Color Bee King to drink.
This spiritual honey was what he had saved up. He was now giving some to the Six-Color Bee King to consume, and at the same time, he mixed a few Spirit Nurturing Pills into the honey.
For the Five Poison Bee, it must maintain a sufficient intake of spiritual nectar to ensure that it is sensitive enough to spiritual flowers, but consuming too much will also lead to a situation where its spiritual nectar intake is insufficient and the gains do not outweigh the losses.
This is the balance that beekeepers need to maintain.
Fortunately, Ye Jingcheng used the magical light of the Treasure Book to improve the absorption rate of the Six-Color Bee King, and also had the Spirit Nurturing Pill, plus some ordinary honey.
That's enough to support the consumption of the Six-Color Bee King.
Otherwise, other cultivators might not have any spiritual honey left over during the honeycomb's growth period.
After feeding them, Ye Jingcheng released the remaining hundred-plus Five Poison Bees. The bee colony is a whole, and the strength of the whole is stronger. The queen bee has been promoted, and it is more important for the queen bee to continue to familiarize herself with the whole group.
As this familiarity grew, the sky became increasingly bright.
Ye Jingcheng only put them away when the Spirit Insects showed signs of fatigue.
The surrounding Spirit Beast Cubs were collected along with the Five Poison Bees.
It didn't seem so nervous anymore, and instead called out softly to Ye Jingcheng, as if it wanted Ye Jingcheng to feed it and share the Treasure Radiance.
However, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't easily unleash his Treasure Radiance on them, since they weren't injured or dying and couldn't be sold.
After all, these cubs are all going to be sold. His Treasure Radiance is very precious right now, so there's no need to waste it on these cubs.
"Jingcheng, good morning!" Just then, Ye Xinghe also walked out from the side.
"Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng replied repeatedly.
Although he had already Foundation Establishment, far surpassing Ye Xinghe in cultivation, he could not forget family ties and gratitude.
"The auction is today, and the grand finale is a second-tier mid-grade Pill Furnace released by the sect, the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace!" Ye Xinghe said, introducing it to Ye Jingcheng.
This Pill Furnace was the very treasure that had been rumored to exist before Ye Jingcheng even came to the market.
Now it's finally going to be auctioned off.
Ye Jingcheng was also very concerned about this, since a good Pill Furnace could improve Alchemist's strength by at least 30%.
The array patterns inscribed within can prevent the furnace from exploding if the furnace is activated properly, not to mention other bonuses.
Take the Jade Soul Pill as an example. If we had a second-tier Pill Furnace, it would have been much easier, and we might even have been able to refine one or two more pills.
However, Ye Jingcheng estimated that the Li Family would likely spare no effort this time as well.
But after being sanctioned by the Ye Family and Chu Families, the Li Family is having a tough time.
It will be difficult to gather enough Spirit Stones.
The days when the Li Family wealthy are gone forever.
"The Chen Family might also join forces with the Li Family this time!" Ye Xinghe reminded him from the side.
The Ye Family is good at alchemy, but they are slightly inferior in making Spirit Talisman, so they cannot punish the Chen Family.
Even the Chu Family couldn't restrict the Chen Family in this regard.
At the same time, the Chen Family's influence within the Taiyi Sect is also deeply entrenched, making them not so easily suppressed.
After all, its foundation is much stronger than that of the Li Family.
After chatting with Ye Xinghe for a while, the two took Ye Jingyun to the auction.
The auction is still held in the auction hall, once a year, and is considered quite grand.
There were quite a few Rogue Cultivators participating, and the number of cultivators in the market has also increased recently.
With more Rogue Cultivators, the Ye Family can issue more Ban Li Order on cultivation.
Don't underestimate this Ban Li Order. In the past three months, the Ye Family's profits from alchemy have been almost as much as their profits from Spirit Beasts.
Ye Jingcheng even obtained several more Pill Formulas.
These are all rewards for achieving the goal of promoting the fifty-piece Ban Li Order, and for helping to refine elixirs free of charge.
Because the cultivators who could promote it so many times must have extraordinary strength and the elixirs they wanted to refine were not ordinary, it actually increased Ye Jingcheng's Pill Formula reserves.
For example, the Azure Cloud Pill was of great help to Ye Jingcheng. This pill is a spiritual pill that can improve the cultivation level of Wood Attribute cultivators.
First-Tier Superior-Grade. Once the Three-Color Cloud Deer emerges from its seclusion, it can take the Azure Cloud Pill.
Now, Ye Jingcheng felt that helping with alchemy was already an unexpected bonus.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng also intended to use this auction to deliver another heavy blow to the Li Family.
The three arrived at the private room early, and there were already quite a few cultivators in the main hall.
Most of them wore the Spirit-Isolating Robes preferred by Rogue Cultivator, and a few of them also appeared to be impoverished.
As expected, the Li Family was waiting in the separate room early on. This time, in addition to Li Mutian, Li Yufu was also there.
