Old Man Zhou looked at Qi Ping unhappily. He dared to run into the forest of Yunwu Mountain alone!
The Black-armored Killer Bees and the Crypt Golden Marrow Bees have a large number of murder records. Many cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining have died at the hands of these two bee colonies.
They even have records of killing cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining!
Qi Ping was only a cultivator in the first stage of Qi Refining, but he dared to run into the forest rashly.
Although he also knew that Qi Ping could not be blamed—after all, the Black-armored Killer Bees and the Crypt Golden Marrow Bees were relatively rare. He had never seen a black bee in his half-life.
After listening to Old Man Zhou's explanation, Qi Ping suddenly realized it.
No wonder Old Man Zhou was so anxious!
Under normal circumstances, ordinary cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining would basically have no way to survive if attacked by the Black-armored Killer Bees and the Crypt Golden Marrow Bees.
Qi Ping looked at the ordinary sword in the hands of this old man, who was not ranked, and the clothes that had no defensive power, and his heart could not help but warm up.
This Old Man Zhou said that he didn't care about anything, but in fact, he passed on almost all the valuable things on his body—the beekeeping technology he had been thinking about for half his life since he was a novice, and the box of black bees that made him live—to Qi Ping.
This time, Old Man Zhou knew that there was a high probability that there would be Black-armored Killer Bees and Golden Marrow Bees in the forest, but he still dared to rush into the forest with an ordinary knife to find Qi Ping. It was obviously Old Man Zhou who was the bravest.
After talking about the possible existence of Black-armored Killer Bees and Golden Marrow Bees, Old Man Zhou said seriously:
"Qi boy, don't go up the mountain during this period. Leave the beekeeping to me first. Wait until I solve this hidden danger, and then you can go up the mountain to raise bees."
Faced with the huge crisis that may exist in the forest, Old Man Zhou took on the beekeeping without hesitation.
He was an old man and he would die, but Qi Ping was his only disciple now, so he naturally didn't want Qi Ping to get into trouble.
"Old Man Zhou, it's okay, I..."
However, before Qi Ping finished speaking, he was interrupted by Old Man Zhou.
"What do you mean it doesn't matter? I don't think you know the seriousness of the situation. If you encounter two types of bee swarms, people will die. You know that! Your cultivation level is not enough to fill their teeth."
This was the first time Qi Ping saw Old Man Zhou angry.
Faced with this situation, Qi Ping had to call out the Golden Marrow Bees hidden in his clothes.
Qi Ping originally planned to cultivate them for a period of time and then tell Old Man Zhou.
But looking at the current situation, if he doesn't solve this problem, it will be a problem for Old Man Zhou to worry about. The bigger problem is that Old Man Zhou will never let him go up the mountain again, so he won't be able to cultivate blood ginseng.
And for Qi Ping, Old Man Zhou is completely trustworthy. If it weren't for Old Man Zhou, Qi Ping would have died long ago.
In addition, the risk of exposing the Golden Marrow Bees is also within the controllable range.
But when Old Man Zhou saw the Golden Marrow Bees flying out of Qi Ping's sleeves, his angry words suddenly stopped.
He stared at the golden bees that exuded a strong and dangerous aura, and his heart almost stopped.
"Golden Marrow Bees in the crypt!" Old Man Zhou exclaimed.
What happened?
The underground Golden Marrow Bee flew out from Qi Ping's sleeve?
This is an extremely dangerous and shy underground Golden Marrow Bee! Why did it fly out from Qi Ping's sleeve? And Qi Ping was still fine!
Old Man Zhou didn't dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing the Golden Marrow Bee, and then it would hit Qi Ping once or twice, and then Qi Ping might not be saved.
It was not until he saw the Golden Marrow Bee land steadily on Qi Ping's arm and shoulder, and even act a little intimate with Qi Ping, that he gradually let go of his hanging heart.
Wait, intimate?
No way!
Old Man Zhou seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes widened suddenly.
Could Qi Ping have contracted this group of Golden Marrow Bees?
"What's the situation with these golden bees?" Old Zhou asked anxiously and expectantly.
"I have contracted the queen of the golden bees." Seeing Old Man Zhou's loss of composure, Qi Ping answered with some laughter and tears.
Hearing Qi Ping's words, Old Zhou's heart was instantly in turmoil.
Qi Ping really contracted with this group of golden bees!
As a beekeeper, Old Zhou naturally understood what this meant.
With the combat effectiveness and honey-making ability of the golden bees, the benefits after the contract do not need to be explained!
But Qi Ping is obviously only a cultivator of the first level of Qi Refining. It's lucky that he didn't get stung to death when he saw the queen of the golden bees. Why did he contract the queen?
It's too outrageous!
This is really beyond the cognition of Old Zhou.
"How did you do it?" Old Zhou asked in disbelief.
He did not doubt the truthfulness of Qi Ping's words. In the past five years, he had already had enough trust in Qi Ping.
Since Qi Ping has said it, it must be true.
"Because I couldn't find the reason for the swarm's agitation near the beehive, I went deep into the Yunwu Mountains to search. After searching for a long time, I met the queen of the Golden Marrow Bees."
"Then the queen of the Golden Marrow Bees also found me, but it didn't show any hostility to me, so I tried to use the blood contract method you taught me to make a contract with the queen bee, and the queen bee didn't resist."
"Then I successfully made the contract."
Qi Ping adjusted the process of contracting the Golden Marrow Bees and explained it in a way that Old Man Zhou could understand.
Although bee colonies that are friendly to humans are not common, they are not nonexistent. Although Golden Marrow Bees are precious, the risks are also within control.
Druids and time travel are too shocking, and Qi Ping will never tell them even if he is beaten to death.
Even Qi Ping's most trusted animal companions will not be told, because the more people know, the higher the risk.
Magical spells like illusions and dreams can obtain secrets.
"It's that simple? Qi boy, you are too lucky!"
"Golden Marrow Bees that are not hostile to humans are rare, and they often need to be cultivated from childhood. You actually ran into one, and they actually agreed to make a contract with you. You are really lucky!"
After listening to Qi Ping's explanation, Old Man Zhou looked at Qi Ping with some surprise.
Qi Ping had only been in beekeeping for a few years and had already contracted a Golden Marrow Bee. He was a natural beekeeper!
He really made the right choice to pass on the beekeeping industry to Qi Ping.
And Qi Ping did not dislike the beekeeping business.
Old Man Zhou felt that the disciple he had once accepted with extraordinary talent probably felt ashamed to have an ordinary beekeeper master who raised black bees. After going to the big sect and seeing the vast world, he began to dislike his experience as a small person.
"This is all thanks to the blood contract method you taught me, Old Man Zhou, otherwise I would have missed this opportunity!"
"This is your fate method. If you want to thank me, don't forget to bring me a pot of good wine next time you go to Qingshi Market!"
"One pot is not enough? At least ten pots!"
"That's fine. Contracting the Golden Marrow Bees is a great event. Ten pots is ten pots. I'm going to be extravagant this time!" Old Man Zhou laughed happily.
However, after a burst of laughter, Old Man Zhou's face suddenly became serious again, and he said solemnly:
"Qi boy, you must not reveal the matter of the Golden Marrow Bees. Wang Shan just came to see me not long ago. Recently, there have been many traces of robbery cultivators in Qingshi County. If they know about the Golden Marrow Bees, you will be in danger."
