"Fellow Daoist Yun, it's me."
Hearing the familiar voice, Yun He breathed a sigh of relief.
'I went to the black market and was a little nervous. '
open the door.
Standing at the door was a skinny monk with sunken eye sockets and a typical overworked look.
"Fellow Daoist Li, what's wrong?" Yun He asked.
This person's name is Li Quanquan, and he is also one of the residents of this shantytown. Like Yunhe, he is also a smart beekeeper of the Wang family in Fangshi.
Li Quanquan kept wiping his sweat at the door and panting:
"Fellow Daoist Yun, you must have encountered a black-ringed wasp, right?"
Yun He was startled when he heard this and was a little confused, but he still nodded and said:
"Yes."
Upon seeing this, Li Quan immediately showed a bitter expression of sympathy.
"I don't know why, but black-ringed wasps are infested here. Many fellow beekeepers have encountered black-ringed wasps and suffered heavy losses."
But soon his expression changed, and he started to beam with excitement.
"I reported this matter to the Wang family, but no action was taken, so you fellow Taoists decided to solve it yourself!"
"Solve it yourself?"
Yun He had seen with his own eyes a large swarm of black-ringed wasps, even the monk surnamed Shi who was in the middle of Qi training was almost killed. How could they deal with it?
"That's right! Fellow Daoist Wei from Dongpeng District will take the lead and summon smart beekeepers to jointly form a 'Bee Exterminator Team' to deal with this black ring disaster!"
"But Fellow Taoist Wei Qingfei?"
Wei Qingfei is considered a semi-celebrity among the smart beekeepers in their shantytown in Hejianfang City.
There is no other reason. This person is a monk in the middle stage of Qi training.
There are not many people who are willing to be spiritual beekeepers in the middle stage of Qi training. Wei Qingfei is an anomaly.
Even he is not only in the middle stage of Qi refining, it is said that his cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi refining!
"It's none other than Fellow Daoist Wei!"
"Fellow Taoist Yun, please go ahead. Li will go and summon other fellow Taoists."
With that said, he put a wooden sign into Yun He's hand, then quickly walked to another house and knocked on the door.
'Looking at this posture, there is more than just a black-ringed wasp hive. '
Touching the wooden sign in his hand, Yun He hesitated slightly.
'Well, it doesn't hurt to go and have a look. '
If this so-called "bee extermination team" was really formed and successfully killed some black-ringed wasps, could he purchase the bodies of the black-ringed wasps from those monks?
Yun He's eyes lit up.
'Maybe it works. '
...
When Yun He came to the address written on the wooden sign, many monks had already gathered here.
"Fellow Daoist Yun."
"Fellow Daoist Yun is here too."
"Fellow Daoist Yun, I wonder how the recent harvest has been?"
"..."
Familiar and unfamiliar.
Those you know, those you don’t know.
Yun He all smiled and bowed to say hello.
At first glance, there were already no less than twenty people gathered.
There are also some smart beekeepers coming one after another after hearing the news.
Almost everyone present was wearing simple linen clothes, their faces were tanned, and they were carrying beehives of different shapes on their backs.
He doesn't look like a monk, but more like a farmer in the fields.
However, there is one person who seems to be a bit unique among the crowd.
This person was wearing a brand new robe, his hair, face, clothes, and accessories were all in order, and he had a bright smile.
Only from his calloused hands when he bowed, it could be seen that the other person had at least once lived a hard life.
And this person is the convener of this gathering, a mid-stage Qi Refining monk, Wei Qingfei!
"With Fellow Taoist Wei presiding over it, this matter will definitely be accomplished."
"Yes, I heard that Fellow Daoist Wei just broke through to the sixth level of Qi training not long ago, and there is hope for the future..."
"That's wrong. Not only is it expected in the later stages, I think Fellow Daoist Wei will definitely be able to build a foundation in the future!"
"..."
Wei Qingfei seemed to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by people. Hearing their words, his mouth almost reached his ears, but he still smiled and said:
"It's ridiculous, fellow Taoist. It's not easy to build a foundation. I don't know how many casual cultivators of our generation are stuck at this level. After hundreds of years of practice, they are no match for a handful of loess."
"Hey! Fellow Daoist Wei is so humble. Even if it is difficult to build the foundation, the later stages of Qi refining should be within Fellow Daoist's pocket."
Wei Qingfei did not deny this, and seemed to feel that he had hope in the future.
The atmosphere was fiery.
As for these pursuits, Yunhe neither joined in nor sang against them. He just stood silently in the corner, like an outsider.
'This is a person who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. '
He seemed to understand why Wei Qingfei was still willing to be a spiritual beekeeper despite his cultivation reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Excessive pursuit of something can sometimes lead to addiction unknowingly.
Not long after.
There are already more than 30 smart beekeepers gathered here!
"Thank you all fellow Taoists for your respect and willingness to come and listen to what Wei has to say."
When the crowd was almost gathered, Wei Qingfei, who was the convener this time, walked up to the crowd, pressed his hands down, and said with a smile.
After another round of pursuit, he finally got to the point of this rally.
"Recently, Mr. Wei heard about the scourge of black rings from many fellow Taoists. Mr. Wei also came from the bottom of the spiritual beekeepers, and he is well aware of the harm of black ring wasps to us beekeepers, but the Wang family in Fang City did not hear about it. Without asking or helping, Wei was very worried, and after thinking hard for a while, he decided!"
Confident eyes scanned the entire audience.
"We, the smart beekeepers, will form our own 'Bee Exterminator Team'! Since there is no one to help, we will have to rely on our own strength."
Immediately the whole audience burst into exciting cheers.
Wei Qingfei pressed his hands again and said solemnly:
"Fellow Taoists here, if you want to join the 'Bee Exterminator Team', you can sign up with Mr. Wei. If you encounter the disaster of the black ring, you can also tell the address, and Mr. Wei will definitely help you!"
Yun He, who was watching silently, raised his ears.
Soon, several smart beekeepers eagerly stated the locations and sizes of several black-ringed wasp hives.
The number of bees in the largest hive is unknown, but it is estimated to be upwards of fifty.
The number of black-ringed wasps in the smaller hive is no less than twenty.
Yun He frowned slightly.
'How come so many black-ringed wasp nests appeared all at once? '
According to the memory of the original owner, even if black-ringed wasps appeared in previous years, there would only be one or two hives at most.
Spring has only started for just over a month this year, but so many people have appeared?
Time passes unconsciously.
When Yun He left, the "Bee Killing Team" added three more members in addition to Wei Qingfei himself.
Judging from the confident looks on their faces, they all seemed to think that the disaster of the black ring was no longer a concern.
...
That night.
'Whether he is really greedy for vanity or not, if bee extermination can really be organized, this person has done a good thing. '
Yunhe, who was in a good mood, took out the spiritual rice and mixed it with some honey residue to make a delicious dinner.
After eating and drinking enough.
He spent some time to refine the remaining six red-striped spirit bees using the method in the "Blood Refining Insect Sacrifice Technique" and control them one by one.
"The minimum requirement for the 'Insect Fighting Array' is ten spiritual insects. It seems that we have to find a way to hunt down a few black-ringed wasps tomorrow. At least we can make up the prototype of the 'Insect Fighting Array' first and practice our skills."
Sitting on the futon, Yun He was about to use his spiritual power to familiarize himself with the Golden Evil Sword again and try the "Gold Control Technique" to control the power of the Golden Evil Sword, when the door was knocked again.
'It's never been this lively. '
Cursing in my heart.
Get up and open the door.
"Fellow Daoist Wei?"
Yun He was a little surprised when he saw the person standing outside the door.
The person who came was unexpectedly Wei Qingfei, a mid-stage Qi-refining monk who organized the "bee extermination" during the day!
And three or four monks who seemed to have joined the "Bee Exterminator Team".
"Fellow Daoist Yun, I'm here late at night and I'm disturbing you."
Wei Qingfei's smile was as gentle as ever and he bowed.
Yun He came back to his senses, waved his hands repeatedly, and turned sideways.
"No, no, fellow Taoists, please come in."
"No."
But Wei Qingfei refused.
Yun He didn't force anything, but just asked doubtfully:
"I wonder what you fellow Taoists are doing?"
Wei Qingfei smiled again.
"It's not a big deal. It's a bit embarrassing to say...Hey, Wei, it's better to tell fellow Taoist directly."
"Now that the 'Bee Exterminator Team' has been established, tomorrow we will solve the black ring disaster for today's Taoist friends. But we know that this black ring wasp is difficult to deal with. Although Wei has little magic power, he still feels that it is not enough. I just thought...if we and I could get a little help from all of you Taoist friends, we would definitely..."
After hearing this, Yun He finally understood the meaning of his words.
This is... for money!
Talking about forming a "bee extermination team", even if you haven't killed a single black-ringed wasp, are you going to collect money from your own people first?
Yunhe felt that he seemed to understand Wei Qingfei's true purpose of organizing this gathering.
"Fellow Taoist, don't worry. Wei knows that your life is not easy, so you don't need much..."
"How many?"
Yun He asked, suppressing his unhappiness.
"One low-grade spiritual stone is enough!"
Yun He's eyes widened.
A low-grade spiritual stone?
Is that enough? !
At least there were nearly forty smart beekeepers gathered today, right?
Each person receives one low-grade spirit, and there are forty in a circle!
Even if he collects it once a year... No, looking at his posture, it doesn't look like he collects it once a year.
'What a good idea, a good means, what a scheming idea! '
He looked at the people behind Wei Qingfei.
Those who dare to choose to join the "Bee Exterminator Team" must be those with higher cultivation and strength among the spiritual beekeepers present at the time.
Wei Qingfei understood that even if he had a high level of cultivation, he would not be able to overpower all the spiritual beekeepers.
But if he recruits a group of people and suppresses a group of people, it will be much easier to do it.
To be honest, Yun He actually admired Wei Qingfei's methods, but...
As if he saw the embarrassment on Yun He's face, Wei Qingfei raised the corner of his eye.
"Fellow Taoist, are you in trouble?"
Yun He took a breath, bowed again, and said apologetically:
"To be honest, I can't get a single low-grade spiritual stone from my hands..."
"oh?"
Wei Qingfei looked him up and down and pursed his lips.
"It doesn't matter. Taoist friends can use items to offset the problem, such as spiritual honey, spiritual talismans, or even spiritual rice."
"this......"
Yun He laughed twice.
"Due to the disaster of the Black Ring, my spiritual honey harvest is seriously under harvested. In addition, the city's tax rate is very high. It's really, really...sigh."
"Fellow Daoist Yun's life is quite difficult." Wei Qingfei's tone became dull, and the gentle smile on his face gradually disappeared.
But Yunhe really had no choice.
His spiritual stones were all used up due to a trip to the black market today, and he really couldn't get a single low-grade spiritual stone.
Otherwise, he might actually hand over a low-grade spiritual stone in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In any case, Wei Qingfei is also a mid-level monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, so it is better not to offend him.
"I hope fellow Taoist people will understand."
"Understood, understood."
Wei Qingfei nodded and glanced at him again.
"But it was Wei who was abrupt. In this way, I won't talk about Fellow Taoist Nao Yun anymore."
After saying that, he casually bowed his hands, turned around and left with the rest of the people.
Watching their departing figures, Yun He rubbed his forehead.
"It's not a good time to come, but now..."
...
"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you sure you saw it with your own eyes when Daoist friend Yun received the gift that day?"
"Yes." Chen Zhiping responded hurriedly.
"Well... Fellow Daoist Wei, I, Fellow Daoist Guanyun, don't seem to be lying. I guess I must have encountered some difficulties."
It was obvious that Wei Qingfei was a little unhappy. They were both honest and diligent spiritual farmers. Someone tried to explain to Yun He.
"Hahaha——" Wei Qingfei laughed twice, his smile returned to his face again, he patted the man on the shoulder and said:
"Is Mr. Wei such a small-minded person?"
Before a few people could breathe a sigh of relief.
Listen to him speak again.
"only......"
The faint voice dragged on for a long time.
"Wei is confident in dealing with the black-ringed wasp. I wonder how sure these Taoist friends will be when facing the black-ringed wasp without the help of many fellow Taoists?"
Several people who heard this were shocked.
After looking at each other for a few times, they immediately understood the pros and cons.
It is better to embarrass others than to embarrass yourself.
They all bowed and said:
"Only follow the guidance of fellow Taoist!"
Will they still have their seemingly simple hearts when they are about to taste the sweetness?
Wei Qingfei chuckled.
After all.
In the world of immortality, profit comes first!
