Yang Yao hurriedly took out ten spirit-gathering pills and said, "Uncle, these are ten spirit-gathering pills. They are given to you, the old man, for your health. I refined them myself."
Hou Shunshan's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh? You made it yourself? You can make medicine now. It seems that you are no longer the lonely and autistic boy you used to be."
Yang Yao said: "Thank you, uncle. The effect is not bad. You can try one first."
Hou Shunshan picked up one and put it into his mouth, swallowed it, and after a while, he said: "Yes, it is much better than the Spirit-Gathering Pill I bought before. But these ten Spirit-Gathering Pills cannot be exchanged for me. Beekeeping Secrets.”
Yang Yaodao: "What does uncle want? Is the secret book you are talking about a book?"
Hou Shunshan said: "Yes, I have written many years of beekeeping experience into a book called Beekeeping Secrets. You came to me to ask about beekeeping knowledge. This is fate. I intend to give the secrets to you. But I need you to agree to a few conditions."
Yang Yaodao: "Uncle said, as long as I can meet your conditions, I will agree to it."
Hou Shunshan said: "It's easy to do, and you don't have to do it now."
Yang Yaodao: "What is it specifically?"
Hou Shunshan said: "My two sons are both doing business in Ice Horse City. They both have wasps in captivity, but they are ordinary wasps. After I give you the beekeeping secrets, if you can cultivate a large number of Jin Zhe , after arriving in Ice Horse City, I need to give each of my two sons a box of gold. How about it?"
Yang Yaodao: "Sure, but what are their names, where do they live, and how can I find them when I arrive in Ice Horse City?"
Hou Shunsheng said: "Hou Junyuan and Hou Junxia, they breed wasps and sell honey in the city. I don't know where they live specifically. It should be easy to find them when you arrive."
Yang Yao said: "I promise you, uncle, if I can really breed a large amount of Jinzhe, I will not only give my two brothers a box of Jinzhe, but I will also give my uncle a box. What a big deal."
Hou Shunsheng smiled slightly and said: "You are a very virtuous boy. Anyway, it seems that you and my beekeeping secret book are really destined, so I gave it to you. By the way, if you meet them, separate the copies of this secret book. Give them a share so that you can help them keep it in captivity.”
Yang Yao said: "Okay, uncle, it's a small matter. I will personally make two copies and give them to my two brothers."
Hou Shunsheng nodded and said: "He has a clear distinction between good and evil, knows how to repay kindness, and has a flexible mind. He is indeed a talent that can be made."
Yang Yao said: "Uncle, are you praising me? Thank you, uncle."
Hou Shunsheng said: "Haha, okay, okay." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house tremblingly. After a while, he took out a fine and clean silk package.
He placed the package on the stone table of the small pavilion and slowly opened it, revealing a yellowed book with four large characters written in the middle of the cover, which was "Beekeeping Secrets".
Hou Shunsheng pushed the package to Yang Yao and said, "This is yours. You suffered many hardships in the past ten years, and now you have become famous in one fell swoop. This is riding a dragon and your achievements may be limitless in the future. What you promised me, Don’t forget it.”
Yang Yao carefully took the secret book and said: "Uncle, don't worry, if I raise Jin Zhequn, I will definitely not forget you, and what I promised you will definitely come true."
Hou Shunsheng said: "Okay, I'll thank you first. Do you have anything else to do?"
Yang Yao said: "It's okay. I'm leaving then. Uncle, those spirit-gathering pills will honor you. I'm leaving. Goodbye."
Hou Shunsheng said: "Okay, go ahead and don't close the door."
Yang Yao wondered: "Uncle, why do you want the door open? You don't have to go out, so why do you have the door open?"
Hou Shunsheng said: "Welcome guests and observe the local customs." After speaking, he took a slow sip of water, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and rested.
Yang Yao nodded and said to himself: "Although Uncle Shunsheng is not very advanced, he is unique in thinking about problems and is a man full of wisdom." After saying that, he turned around and left, quickly arriving home.
He read through the secret book. There were not many words in the secret book and it was not difficult to understand, but the content was very detailed and the insights were quite unique.
Yang Yao quickly understood and planned to start cultivating Jin Zhequn, but he did not have enough hives. If he wanted to cultivate them, he would need to bring over the hives of Zhang Zhimeng, Hou Yifei, and Zhang Yuee.
This way you will be foolproof.
Thinking of Hou Yifei, Yang Yao shook his head. He loved to eat, but he didn't know if there were any hives left.
He left the house and first went to Hou Yifei's house. As expected, he didn't ask for the beehive. Then he went to Zhang Yuee's and Zhang Zhimeng's homes and took their beehives. He also brought some spirit-gathering pills to the three of them, and then gave them to the three of them. It shows that he has been able to make elixirs and needs a large amount of herbs. The three people were naturally happy and surprised, and they all expressed that they wanted to get the herbal medicine as soon as possible.
Yang Yao returned home, made a simple beehive out of wood, and placed the honeycomb inside. Then he went to Lao Li Pharmacy and bought some honey to feed the bee pupae.
After finishing, Yang Yao went back to his mother Song Qingyue's room and took a look. Seeing that her mother was sleeping, she planned to return to her room and start practicing.
Song Qingyue was actually closing her eyes to rest. After hearing the noise, she sat up and said, "Yaowa, how are you busy with the hive? Do you need my help?"
Yang Yao said: "You're done, Mom, you look much better."
Song Qingyue said: "Your father won't be back for a while. I can't always be immersed in pain and leave all the problems to you to fight. You are only more than ten years old, you can't bear it."
Yang Yao's nose felt sore and she said, "Mom, it's okay. I can't stand it anymore. I'm going back to the house first."
Song Qingyue nodded: "Okay, you go."
Yang Yao returned to the house and began to think. He knew that his father Yang Pingwei would not be able to come back in the short term at least, and he might even have died at sea.
If he wants to survive, he can't rely on his mother. Her mother's cultivation is only at the level of Qi training. In this world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong, it is almost impossible to move forward. She is either eaten by monsters or bullied by the strong.
If you want to survive, you must become stronger, otherwise you may not survive even if you rely on hard work, fishing at sea, planting, breeding, or hunting in the mountains.
There are not many ways for him to become stronger. One is martial arts and the other is refining medicine.
In terms of martial arts, his three-in-one spear technique has reached proficiency level three. Although the progress is rapid, it is still far from enough.
In terms of refining medicine, he can refine the Spirit Gathering Pill, which is quite effective, but it cannot be used to kill enemies.
He didn't know how to refine the medicine that could be used to kill enemies.
Yang Yao took out the poison pill recipe he asked for from Lao Li and started reading it. There were not many poison recipes. He counted them and found only ten.
He read it one by one and quickly got a general idea. Then he took out the poisonous spiritual materials given by Lao Li and pondered them. He had never tasted the toxicity of these spiritual materials, so he didn't know their specific properties. If you want to refine poison or even modify the prescription, you need to first understand the toxicity of various medicinal materials.
Good thing he's not afraid to try poison.
Yang Yao tasted various poisonous spiritual materials and got a rough idea, then selected a poisonous recipe called Smiling Three Steps Dian and began to ponder it.
