Because there are a large number of spiritual flowers to feed on, the abilities of the alcoholic bees are released to the greatest extent. In addition, Qingyang occasionally feeds them some monkey spirit wine, and the strength of the six purple-backed alcoholic bees is improved. A lot. Judging from the breath of the alcoholic bees, if the alcoholic bees in the past were equivalent to monks in the early stage of Qi refining, they are now almost equivalent to monks in the middle stage of Qi refining.
As the king of the alcoholic bee colony, the blue-backed alcoholic bee is indispensable for spiritual pollen and spiritual nectar. Even though the alcoholic queen bee rarely goes out, she consumes the most spiritual pollen, spiritual nectar and even monkey spirit wine. However, the blue-backed alcoholic bee is already equivalent to a foundation-building monk, and it is not that easy to advance. Although it eats a lot, the changes are not that obvious. Qingyang felt it carefully and found out that the queen bee's aura was equivalent to rising from the first level to the second level of foundation building.
The biggest change is the entire alcoholic bee colony. Because of the large supply of spiritual pollen and spiritual flower nectar, the entire bee colony has grown a lot. Now the number of alcoholic bees has exceeded one hundred, and their strength varies. , among which there are several alcoholic bees that have experienced the battle in Nanling Village. After recovering from their injuries, their strength has been rapidly improved. Although they are still in the category of ordinary alcoholic bees, it is foreseeable that they will evolve in a short time. A purple-backed alcoholic bee.
The honeycomb under the wine pavilion in the Drunken Immortal Gourd has also grown several times, making the wine pavilion a bit small. In order to avoid future trouble, Qingyang cooperated with the alcoholic bees and moved the hive to a nearby one. On the spiritual fruit tree in the mountains.
This fruit tree is the largest one among the Zuixian Gourds transplanted by Qingyang in the back hill of Yehou Slope. Perhaps because the Monkey King often watered it with water from the pool next to it, this spiritual fruit tree is more lush than the ones growing outside, with more fruit. The fruit produced is also much larger than before.
Not only this one, but also several other transplanted spiritual fruit trees grew more and more vigorously and produced a lot of wild spiritual fruits. Not only that, some of the seeds of the spiritual fruit trees that were planted here have also come alive. After the iron-armed spiritual monkeys have carefully taken care of them in the past few years, the fruit trees have grown to be as tall as a person, but they have not yet reached the stage of blooming and bearing fruit. However, it is foreseeable that before long, after these spiritual fruit trees grow up, this place will become a spiritual fruit orchard.
A lot of spiritual fruits have been produced, and the Iron-armed Monkey has already tried to use the spiritual fruits to brew Monkey Spirit Wine. In the past, the Monkey King brewed Monkey Spirit Wine because his parents had seen Wuyou San people brewing spirit wine. They simply relied on the instinct of the demon monkey to imitate the spirit wine, and the spirit wine they produced was predictable.
Now Qingyang has obtained the true teaching of Wuyou Sanren's brewing skills. Under Qingyang's guidance, the Iron Arm Monkey's technique of brewing spirit wine has been greatly improved, and the quality of the monkey spirit wine brewed is also much higher. It's just that the output is a bit small, only enough for Qingyang to try it occasionally.
The Iron-Armed Monkey's injury has long since healed, but Qingyang couldn't let him out conveniently, so he has been living in the Drunk Immortal Gourd. The food basically consists of wild fruits and spiritual fruits transplanted into the Drunken Immortal Gourd. Occasionally Qingyang will give him some spiritual pollen or spiritual flower nectar, and sometimes miscellaneous pills that Qingyang himself does not like. Medicine will also be given to him.
Perhaps because of the limited qualifications of this iron-armed monkey, or perhaps because of its age which affects its ability to absorb spiritual materials, a few years have passed and the strength of the iron-armed monkey has not improved much.
The spiritual materials and spiritual flowers that Qingyang planted in the Drunken Immortal Gourd five years ago have now grown to two or three feet tall. Although they are still early to mature, some have already reached the time of flowering. There are large areas of green mixed with There are a few budding flowers, which add a lot of color to the entire Drunken Fairy Gourd space.
The smaller changes are in the four seeds Qingyang planted very early. Five years later, they have only grown from more than three feet tall to nearly five feet tall.
The branches of Ten Thousand Years of Red are getting thicker, and the red flowers on the tree are blooming more and more luxuriantly. Over the past few years, Qingyang has collected a lot of petals and nectar of Ten Thousand Years of Red.
When he was free, Qingyang went to the alchemy academy of the sect and found out the formula of Yishou Dan. He also tried to refine the elixir using eternal red petals and nectar. Perhaps because the level of Yishou Dan is relatively high, Qingyang failed many times during his attempts and wasted a lot of materials.
But it finally succeeded. Although the success rate is still less than half, but if you try more in the future, the elixir success rate will gradually improve. After that, Qingyang worked hard and refined all the remaining materials into elixirs, and finally obtained a total of more than a dozen longevity elixirs.
Qingyang gave the longevity pills to the Iron-armed Monkey to try, and it seemed to have some effect, so Qingyang solemnly kept the remaining longevity pills. These pills have greater uses.
The peach tree is also much taller than before, and the branches are thicker. There are not many leaves on the peach tree, but every leaf is green and full of spirituality.
Qingyang has seen a lot of spiritual trees in the Farming Garden over the years, with high and low grades. The low ones can only be used as fire-burning materials for the sect's internal elixirs and weapon refining, while the high ones can be refined into magic weapons and spiritual weapons. Then This kind of tree is particularly precious, even prepared for the new golden elixir elders in the sect to refine magic weapons in the future, but looking around, it seems that it is not as high as the peach tree in the Drunken Immortal Gourd.
Sometimes Qingyang couldn't help but wonder, will such a good peach tree be used as a magic weapon material in the future, or will he be raised as a spiritual fruit tree so that he can pick peaches to eat when he grows up? Maybe both are possible. The level of this peach tree is so high. Maybe just cutting off a branch can be used to make a magic weapon, and the rest can continue to grow?
Then Qingyang shook his head and stopped his random thoughts. The road to becoming an immortal was so difficult, and he didn't know if he could reach that point. The peach tree grows so slowly. Maybe when you die of old age, you won't be able to see the day it blooms and bears fruit, so don't think too much about it.
Next to the grapevine, Qingyang built a shelf with slender bamboo poles. The five-foot-tall grapevine could no longer support his body and was now wrapped around the bamboo pole and climbing up.
There were less than twenty leaves on the slender grape vine. Qingyang picked a grape leaf and put it into his mouth to taste. It tasted sweet and sour and delicious. After reaching the mouth, a clear stream oozed from the leaves, with a trace of spiritual energy. I didn't expect that these grape leaves are also good things, but it's a pity that I can't eat too much, otherwise the grape vines will be bald.
Finally, Qingyang came to the edge of the gourd vine again. After not seeing him for a while, two flower buds grew on the gourd vine. They were white and tender, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Looking at this bud, Qingyang couldn't help but feel happy. The energy he spent on the four seeds over the years was finally not in vain. Today he finally saw the results. He just didn't know what kind of gourd could grow from it and whether he could make money. Pay back your own efforts.
