Chapter 2020: Bee General Transforms
The most amazing among the Nascent Soul cultivators is Gu Mufeng. In just over 60 years, he has broken through three major bottlenecks in succession and become a senior cultivator of the fifth level of the Nascent Soul. He is not too far from the sixth level of the Nascent Soul. He has the style of Qingyang in the past. Now Gu Mufeng is less than 300 years old. It should not be difficult for him to break through the realm of transformation in the future. The human race in Cangmu City can be regarded as having successors.
Of course, there are also regrets. Qiu Wuyu's cultivation has long been broken through from the seventh level of the Nascent Soul to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul, but because he has not much life left, his physical fitness has begun to decline. In addition, with the limitation of qualifications, it is no problem to break through the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, but it is unlikely to achieve transformation.
As for Qingyang himself, he has been refining the Concentrating God Pill for so many years, and his alchemy skills have long reached the level of senior alchemy masters. The success rate of refining a single Concentrating God Pill is as high as 40% to 50%. Even if it is refined in batches, the success rate is more than 30%. He even tried to refine dozens of materials in batches each time. Although it was a bit hard and his mind could not support it, the success rate of the pill has never been lower than 30%.
Qingyang is indeed gifted in alchemy, and his speed of improvement is amazing. Now, he has no problem refining the elixir of the God-transforming level, and he can even try the elixir of the Void-refining level. He has already left the so-called Blood Moon in Chiyan City far behind. It is because he is relatively low-key and has never shown his alchemy skills outside, otherwise, all kinds of people seeking elixirs would have stepped through the door.
Gu Lieyang can improve his cultivation by two levels, and he has no shortage of elixirs. Qingyang, who has an extraordinary talent, is no exception. More than 40 years ago, he broke through to the third level of the God-transforming level. Now he has successfully advanced to the middle stage of the God-transforming level and become a fourth-level cultivator of the God-transforming level. Qingyang's current cultivation speed, if he relies solely on taking elixirs, can basically improve his cultivation by one level in about 40 years, a speed that others envy.
After so many years, the Drunken Immortal Gourd has changed a lot. As the space is getting bigger and bigger, Qingyang has rarely paid attention to the things inside. It is completely up to the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey and his descendants to take care of it. The low-level spiritual herbs and fruits he planted before have grown extremely lush. Although Qingyang himself can no longer use them, they have become the main source of low-level spiritual monkeys and spiritual bees to improve their cultivation.
The original four spiritual plants in the gourd are getting taller and redder. The grapes on the vines are getting bigger and bigger, and the spiritual wine brewed is getting better and better. The golden gourd on the gourd vine has matured. After maturity, the gourd has restrained its dazzling sharpness and looks ordinary. However, Qingyang has not found a suitable refiner yet, so he has not picked it yet. Moreover, the fifth flower has bloomed on the gourd vine. I don’t know what fruit it will bear.
Seven or eight fruits on the peach tree have now grown to the size of a fist, and their color has changed from green to white, and there is a hint of red in some places. It seems that they are not far from maturity. These fruits are what Qingyang is most looking forward to. After growing for so many years, the effect must be good.
The two fruits on the God-Pregnant Fruit Tree, one has grown to 900 years old, and the other has grown to 400 years old. They are also the focus of Qingyang in the Drunken Immortal Gourd. If they grow up, even if they are not used to refine the God-Pregnant Pill, simply taking them can greatly improve their cultivation.
The alcohol-loving bee colony has been growing over the years, and the number has exceeded 200,000. Among them, there are more than 5,000 purple-backed alcohol-loving bees equivalent to Qi-refining cultivators, about 400 blue-backed alcohol-loving bees equivalent to foundation-building cultivators, and nearly 400 green-backed alcohol-loving bees equivalent to Jindan cultivators. Although the entire colony looks large, it is not very conspicuous in the entire Drunken Immortal Gourd space.
When Qingyang first arrived in the spirit world, he was already over 370 years old. The six bee generals who followed him at first were only at the Jindan stage, and their life span was not long. So after Qingyang repaired his meridians, he asked someone to find a connection to gather the materials for the infant-forming pill and refined six infant-forming pills for them to break through.
Perhaps it was because these bee generals had a short life span and reduced their potential, or perhaps these six bee generals had poor qualifications and the success rate of breakthrough was frighteningly low. In the end, only one of the six bee generals successfully broke through and turned into a round-faced girl. Although she was not as charming as the alcoholic queen bee, she had a cheerful personality and a sweet mouth, and was very likable. Another one's breakthrough could not be considered a success, nor a complete failure. Her spiritual intelligence was shattered during the transformation calamity. Although she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she became a demon insect without much spiritual intelligence. She could only understand a few simple commands from the alcoholic queen bee, and the rest was all based on instinct, like a fool.
Fortunately, the alcoholic queen bee was able to control her from causing trouble. Qingyang was reluctant to part with such a Nascent Soul fighter, so he allocated a separate area for her in the Drunken Immortal Gourd space, including some Jindan-level alcoholic bees that had not passed the spiritual wisdom tribulation before. As for the remaining four, they all fell in the transformation tribulation, which made Qingyang see how difficult it was for ordinary grassroots cultivators to break through the Nascent Soul.
But there is no need to worry. Some of the remaining Jindan alcoholic bees have reached the perfect Jindan realm. Qingyang will find an opportunity to refine some more Nascent Soul pills, and there will always be some that can break through to the Nascent Soul. As long as the base number of Jindan alcoholic bees is large enough, the number of Nascent Soul alcoholic bees will only increase.
After so many years of reproduction, the alcoholic bee colony has been divided into many small groups. Each small group has a queen bee, who is responsible for producing low-level alcoholic bees and taking over the task of the alcoholic queen bee. In fact, the alcoholic queen bee will still give birth, and because of her level, the alcoholic bees produced by the alcoholic queen bee are not only of excellent qualifications and are born at the purple-back level, but also have huge potential for the future and can grow to a higher level. However, every time she gives birth, the alcoholic queen bee's vitality will be damaged, so the alcoholic queen bee spends most of her energy on cultivation and rarely gives birth.
The Iron Arm Monkeys have also grown a bit, with the number increasing to more than 500. The conditions of the Drunken Immortal Gourd are so good, and the monkeys have been selected from generation to generation, and their qualifications are getting higher and higher. As the tribe grows, the strongest has reached the seventh level, which is equivalent to the early stage of the Golden Core among human cultivators. However, they are not very useful and can't help in the battle. They just take care of the Drunken Immortal Gourd space.
Special mention should be made of the Iron Arm Monkeys and the Alcoholic Queen Bee. When Qingyang first came to the spirit world, they were already at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul. After decades of seclusion, they had raised their cultivation to the perfection of the Nascent Soul more than ten years ago. After that, Qingyang forced them to refine their true essence, consolidate their cultivation, and condense their souls. Under the guidance of Qingyang, a cultivator of the Transformation of the Soul, the Iron Arm Monkeys and the Alcoholic Queen Bee were already ready and could try to break through the Transformation of the Soul. So after this retreat, his most important task was to assist the Alcoholic Queen Bee and the Iron Arm Monkey to break through to the Transformation of the Soul.
