I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 222: Queen Bee Foundation Building and Elder Meng

Ordinary bees have a lifespan of about one to two years, while these spirit bees have a lifespan of over ten years on average. If they reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining, their lifespan can reach twenty years. As for the late stage of Qi Refining, no bee colony of this kind has ever been born.

Of course, the queen bee is not included in this calculation.

In Lin Qing's view, although the queen bee is the leader of this group of bees, it seems to have become another species and cannot be compared.

After taming it, Lin Qing had the queen bee command a group of bees to bring him some honey.

Looking at this crystal-clear honey that exuded a faint spiritual aura, Lin Qing tasted it. Although it was useless to him now, if a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage ate it, its effect would be comparable to a top-grade first-tier pill, a good thing indeed.

However, Lin Qing didn't have the intention of taking this honey. It would be better to leave it here. He wanted the bee colony.

Now that he had gained control of the queen bee, these spirit bees could be said to obey his commands. After arranging these spirit bees on the Lin family mountain, if there were any disturbances, he could be informed through the queen bee. It could be considered an imperceptible barrier, making the Lin family mountain safer.

After receiving Lin Qing's command, the queen bee immediately had dozens of spirit bees and a large number of ordinary bees disperse to the Lin family mountain. Lin Qing was very satisfied.

Just as Lin Qing was about to leave after finishing everything, the queen bee tried to keep him.

Lin Qing was puzzled, not understanding its intentions.

Then, to Lin Qing's surprise, the queen bee was about to break through. It was about to break through to the Foundation Building stage.

It's hard to say that this has nothing to do with Lin Qing. Perhaps it was the benefit of becoming Lin Qing's spirit beast. Perhaps it had already been able to break through but had been worried about safety. Lin Qing's powerful strength made it let go of its guard.

Regardless of the relationship, Lin Qing was happy to see it happen. If a queen bee at the peak of Qi Refining had these spirit bees, the number would probably increase several times when it reached the Foundation Building stage.

The next day, Lin Qing stayed in place, waiting for the queen bee to break through. Of course, it was also a form of protection.

Late at night, the queen bee successfully broke through to the Foundation Building stage.

Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a bit tired. For some reason, this breakthrough by the queen bee worried him more than the Purple Gold Toad back then. Fortunately, there were no accidents.

The queen bee was extremely happy at this moment. Lin Qing stayed with it for a while longer before leaving.

In Lin Qing's mind, after a period of time, he would come again to see the changes in the queen bee after breaking through to the Foundation Building stage.

Returning to the Lin family mountain, Lin Qing felt like he had forgotten something.

When he thought about today's events, he suddenly smiled.

It was about the queen bee, which made him forget about his agreement with Xiao Wei.

Entering Xiao Wei's room, although it was late at night, Xiao Wei had not yet gone to sleep and was waiting for Lin Qing. Seeing Lin Qing coming, she showed a happy expression, and their figures appeared as shadows in the candlelight.

Lin Qing didn't explain too much and the two continued their affectionate moments from the day.

On the second day, Lin Qing first went to see the Lin family mountain.

The entire Lin family mountain was already filled with bees, including spirit bees and ordinary bees. They were small in size but could enter every nook and cranny. With these bees in the Lin family mountain, it would only become safer in the future.

And then half a month passed. Lin Qing reached out and the water curtain appeared again. Lin Qing's figure went deep into it and used the water escape technique.

After a few uses of the water escape technique, he arrived in front of the rock wall.

The scene at this time surprised him greatly. After the Queen Bee reached the Foundation Building stage, the number of bees inside had not just doubled, but had explosively increased.

Half a month ago, the bee nest, which had appeared spacious, was now overcrowded.

Seeing this, Lin Qing communicated with the Queen Bee to see if it was willing to move to another place. However, the Queen Bee had a special attachment to this rock wall and was unwilling to leave. Lin Qing did not force it.

However, he used a spell to hollow out a nearby rock wall, so that the extra bees in the future would have more space.

The Queen Bee was extremely grateful to Lin Qing. Its weak thoughts had become stronger with the advancement to the Foundation Building stage, and its intelligence had reached a higher level.

While Lin Qing was trying to communicate with the Queen Bee, the communication talisman in his hand suddenly lit up. Lin Qing was startled. With his current strength as a member of the Lin family, the only person who could make the communication talisman light up was a Purple Mansion cultivator. Could there be something unexpected?

Thinking of this, Lin Qing immediately used the water escape technique and returned to the Lin family's mountain in an instant.

Lin Qing's thoughts were correct. A Purple Mansion cultivator had indeed come to the Lin family's mountain, but it was not an accident. He had come to find Lin Qing for something.

"Elder Meng, you usually preside over the Bai Bao Tower. Why do you have the time to visit my Lin family today?" Lin Qing smiled and said.

The person who came was Elder Meng from the Bai Bao Tower. His strength was still at the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

Elder Meng smiled and said, "Master Lin, I am not one to visit without reason. I have come today to bother Master Lin. I hope Master Lin can forgive me."

"No, no, Elder, please speak if you have something." Although Lin Qing said this, he thought to himself that the Lin family and the Bai Bao Tower seemed to have no connection.

Elder Meng spoke, "I wonder if Master Lin is aware of the Xuan Yu Market."

"Of course I know." How could Lin Qing not know about the Xuan Yu Market? This market held great significance for him. He had spent a long time there in the past. Elder Meng from the Bai Bao Tower wouldn't be unaware of this. He was deliberately asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Lin Qing looked at Elder Meng, who now had a very friendly smile on his face, and said, "Master Lin, I believe you are also aware that the Xuan Yu Market is now owned by our Bai Bao Tower."

"Naturally, how could I not know about the division of the harvest back then." Lin Qing became even more puzzled. Elder Meng seemed to have a plan in mind.

Elder Meng continued, "Master Lin, to be honest, since we took over the Xuan Yu Market, the business has not improved even for a day. Compared to the Lin family's collection, let alone one-tenth, even if it were halved, we still wouldn't be able to reach it."

Lin Qing did not answer. Although he had not been to the current Xuan Yu Market, he knew that what Elder Meng said was true. The business in the Xuan Yu Market was indeed very poor.

As for the reasons, one was naturally related to the Lin family's collection. The other reason was that the Xuan Yu Market used to be a place favored by many disciples of the Wu Ji Sect. Now that the Wu Ji Sect had been destroyed, how could the Xuan Yu Market still be thriving? Only a few scattered cultivators were willing to go there. How could the business be good?

Seeing that Lin Qing did not answer, Elder Meng sighed, "Ah!"

After sighing, he began to talk about the Bai Bao Tower, "Master Lin, you may not know that the reason our Bai Bao Tower was willing to join forces with the Chi Yang Immortal City to attack the Wu Ji Sect was because some of the elders in our tower felt that we should make some changes. However, now we have suffered heavy losses from attacking the Wu Ji Sect, and the benefits we imagined are not as many as we thought. Those elders who had changed their minds now feel that our Bai Bao Tower should still focus on being a business association and not engage in activities such as opening markets or mining."

"Oh." Lin Qing's heart moved and he sensed something.
