There wasn't much pale purple honey in the entire hive. Shi Wen checked several honeycombs and found that only two of them had pale purple honey; the other honeycombs were a mixture of pale purple and yellowish-brown.

The two carefully shaved the pale purple honey into one bucket and put the yellowish-brown honey into another.

Shi Wen also tasted the yellowish-brown honey.

The yellowish-brown honey smelled nice, but he didn't feel anything special after eating it, and didn't find it particularly nourishing.

The difference between fritillaria honey and regular honey is quite obvious.

The two of them worked for most of the day.

Shi Wen didn't even bother to eat lunch. He immediately took out the scale and weighed the two kinds of honey.

After removing the weight of the iron bucket, the pale purple fritillary honey weighed only 15.3 jin (7.5 catties), a pitifully small quantity.

The normal yield was 133 jin (approximately 61.5 kg), but this Shi Wen only because the number of bees was higher and they were larger during the summer, so extra food was reserved for them. Otherwise, another 20 or 30 jin (approximately 10-15 kg) could have been harvested.

The pale purple fritillary honey is extremely rare; this is the first time it has been harvested on the ranch.

After lunch, Shi Wen, disregarding everything else, immediately pulled Yan Kexing and took the two kinds of honey to Zhu Ji's place for testing.

They had already told Zhu Ji about this on the way. When they arrived at the destination, they didn't exchange pleasantries and immediately took out the honey, asking him to test it first.

The testing instruments are all fully automatic; you just need to set the parameters.

Zhu Ji first tested the fritillaria honey. After the machine started running, he brewed tea and served the two. "It will take about half an hour for the results to come out. Please try our lotus tea first; it's newly made this year and tastes especially fragrant."

Shi Wen they've gotten so used to drinking milk tea that they no longer experience insomnia from drinking tea.

He looked at the lotus pond. "Was it made with lotuses from here?"

Zhu Ji: "No. We don't have that skill. It was made by a master craftsman in City B, using lotus flowers from the headquarters of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau. Those lotus flowers are considered Variant Ingredients, and they're especially rare."

At this point, Zhu Ji added, "Of course, it can't compare to your family's ingredients. That lotus flower is rare, has a long history, and its Abilities is quite good, making it rather famous."

Shi Wen smiled and said, "It's fine."

Zhu Ji's lotus tea was indeed fragrant, with the aroma of tea and flowers intertwined, and the taste was also smooth.

Shi Wen took a sip and, after savoring it carefully, found it quite delicious.

They were chatting over there.

Half an hour later, a notification popped up on Zhu Ji's phone indicating that the test was complete.

He stood up. "I'll go get the test results."

Today is Saturday, and most of the people in the Anomaly Management Office are off work, so no one is running errands for Zhu Ji. He has to go there himself.

Shi Wen him running back and forth, Shi Wen felt it was a waste of time, so he stood up as well. "Let's go together, so you don't have to come back to announce the results."

Zhu Ji: "Okay, then don't wander off when you get there."

Shi Wen, "We can wait at the door."

Yan Kexing nothing and followed behind with his long strides.

Everyone here is an old acquaintance, and Shi Wen and Yan Kexing are both exceptionally high-level Abilities, Zhu Ji has nothing to worry about.

Zhu Ji led them directly to the entrance of the testing room, told them to wait there, changed his clothes briefly, and went inside.

Less than three seconds after entering, Zhu Ji's shocked Mandarin profanity came from inside.

He cursed, then grabbed the documents and ran out, waving his hand at them. "515!!! Shi Wen! Old Yan! Your family's Fritillaria Honey's Abilities value is 515!!!"

Shi Wen had expected this, but seeing the official test results still brought a slight surprise. He looked at Yan Kexing, "Really? What does this number mean?"

Zhu Ji: "I don't know about anything else, but I do know that this is the ingredient with the highest Abilities I've ever seen, bar none!"

Shi Wen Yan Kexing stood behind him and looked at it together.

Zhu Ji: "Our test results absolutely cannot be wrong, and I didn't misread them, right? It's 515!"

Yan Kexing: "That's right."

Shi Wen stared at the test results and said, "Wow, all that hard work really paid off."

Everyone was quite excited.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing carefully read the test report from beginning to end, and then read it a second time.

Zhu Ji wanted to speak several times, but as soon as he opened his mouth, seeing their focused expressions, he had no choice but to swallow his words.

Unable to join in the atmosphere between the couple, Zhu Ji had no choice but to take their relatively ordinary honey to the testing lab for analysis.

Shi Wen Zhu Ji came out, Shi Wen had finally calmed down a bit.

Zhu Ji asked, "How much fritillaria honey do you have in total?"

Shi Wen, "About fifteen jin (2.5 kg)."

Zhu Ji sighed, "That's not much."

Shi Wen at him and said, "That's right, the fritillaria flowers are only a little bit big. We don't grow a lot of fritillaria, so no matter how hard the bees work, they can't collect enough fritillaria honey."

"So, will your family be planting more fritillaria bulbs from now on?" Zhu Ji couldn't help but ask again, recalling the terrifyingly high value, "515 in Abilities!"

Shi Wen moment. "I'm afraid this is quite difficult. We are currently simulating the wild state of fritillaria. If we were to cultivate it, it would be the same as cultivating fritillaria, and the effects would be completely different."

Zhu Ji: "Then let's expand the ranch—"

Shi Wen immediately refused. "That won't work, we're too busy. Besides, the influence of Qilin and Yinglong is limited; expanding it might lower the quality of the ranch."

"That's not necessarily true," Zhu Ji said, but then met Yan Kexing's gaze and added, "Alright, if your ranch expands too much, it might dilute the quality of its produce."

Shi Wen, "That's what I think too. We can't be too greedy. We've already achieved a great result."

Zhu Ji nodded. "That's good, that's reassuring."

Shi Wen smiled and said, "We originally planned to dig for fritillaria this year, but given the current situation, we shouldn't. Let it stay there to reproduce. Next year, there will be more fritillaria flowers and fritillaria honey. Maybe our bees will grow even better next year, and the honey they produce will be of even higher quality."
