"Let’s see how effective this Fire Glow Honey formula, modeled after the Fire Crystal Pill’s pill formula, can be with the support of spiritual dicine knowledge and the Alchemist’s Pill Notes..."
Qi Ping was eager to see if he had made any progress in setting the honey formula with his knowledge of elixirs.
The last Fire Spirit Honey brewed using the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill as a prototype had more than fifty percent, but less than sixty percent efficacy of the original elixir.
The pursuit of this efficacy sotis relates not only to cultivation efficiency but also to the tempering limit.
Elixirs are so precious in the Immortal Cultivation Realm for these reasons:
Elixirs can exert effects far exceeding the spiritual dicine itself, sotis even reaching multiple tis the effect of the spiritual dicine.
Elixirs can purify so chaotic and useless properties of the spiritual dicine, making it easier for cultivators to absorb directly, such as retaining only the body-enhancing property of the Fire Crystal Flower.
Elixirs can neutralize so highly poisonous or violent properties, transforming them into properties absorbable by cultivators.
For example, while the Soul Crossing Flower can enhance the Divine Soul, its terrifying resentnt contained within makes direct refining unimaginable.
The Soul Crossing Flower can only be made into an elixir suitable for consumption after being refined with the Buddha Heart Lotus to beco the Buddha’s Heart Soul Crossing Pill.
The Buddha’s Heart Soul Crossing Pill not only inherits the effect of enhancing the Divine Soul from the Soul Crossing Flower but also adds the comprehension-enhancing effect of the Buddha Heart Lotus, possibly bringing about a sudden enlightennt.
This is the true allure of elixirs, one of the four arts of immortal cultivation.
Therefore, although the last Fire Spirit Honey seed to retain about sixty percent of the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill’s efficacy, taking it a few more tis could make up for it.
However, from the perspective of the limit, there was still a significant gap.
Especially so elixirs with special effects might directly lose their efficacy due to insufficient effectiveness.
But honey brewed by bees has an advantage that elixirs cannot compare:
There’s no elixir poison!
No elixir poison!
This effect is the key for Qi Ping to refine honey in large quantities. As long as the problem of floating spiritual power and unstable foundation is solved, Qi Ping can consu honey without limit!
This is an unparalleled advantage.
It’s well-known that most elixirs produce elixir poison during refinent. Once accumulated excessively, it can lead to hidden dangers in cultivation, requiring a considerable amount of ti to clear.
Even if so people have many spirit stones and can purchase many elixirs, they can’t use them without limit, or it wouldn’t be accelerating cultivation, but self-sabotage.
This is one reason Qi Ping is so committed to researching honey-making formulas.
With his Druid plant growth ability, he can naturally consu a large amount of spiritual dicine. As long as the best honey formula is developed, it can be consud in large quantities almost without limit, saving a lot of alchemy ti and allowing more ti for cultivation and understanding of the True aning of Fire.
Alchemy is a highly energy-consuming task. Many alchemists have average combat power because related matters of alchemy occupy fifty, sixty... or even more of their energy.
But Qi Ping’s ultimate goal is to pursue the Immortal Dao for longevity, so no one in the world can threaten him, which conflicts with ti-consuming alchemy techniques.
Thus, if the bees can keep being cultivated to refine elixirs for Qi Ping, it’s the best choice for him.
Compared to alchemists, the path of arrays involves researching and utilizing the power of heaven and earth, heaven and earth laws. Druidism and cultivation are essentially more similar and more suitable for Qi Ping.
Moreover, the formidable combat power and support ability that array masters obtain through arrays, such as defense arrays and spirit gathering arrays, are most compatible with druids needing to establish hos.

"Let’s first try directly replicating the honey made with the Fire Crystal Pill formula..."
Qi Ping initially tried the most authentic combination.
However, the final result left Qi Ping a bit disappointed.
"It only reached slightly above fifty percent of the normal efficacy, even worse than last ti’s Fire Spirit Body Tempering Honey."
"Indeed, there is a gap in the refining thod, and the formula also needs corresponding changes; simply following the steps isn’t likely to lead to satisfying results."
"It seems that to create the most suitable honey formula in the future, it’s necessary to combine knowledge of spiritual dicine and alchemy with the honey-making traits of different bee species..."
But the second batch soon brought Qi Ping a surprise!
"About sixty-seven percent efficacy!"
"As expected! After adjusting a couple of spiritual dicines based on the knowledge of spiritual dicine neutralization and alchemy experience, the effect indeed improved significantly!"
This success gave Qi Ping enormous hope directly.
"There are eight batches left; hopefully, a formula with better efficacy will erge!"
Excited with anticipation, Qi Ping eagerly and carefully continued experinting.
"The third batch, sixty-one percent efficacy...not bad!"
"The fourth batch, only thirty percent efficacy, that’s too poor!"
"The fifth batch, ten percent efficacy? But it seems to have so special effect, a slight ignition in the abdon..."
...
After trying eight batches, the highest efficacy was still from the second formula, with sixty-seven percent of the Fire Crystal Pill’s efficacy.
"Although a bit disappointed, it’s actually quite good!"
"After all, I’ve only just started learning elixir knowledge, and I’m limited by the scarcity of spiritual dicine. Reaching this level is already very impressive!"
"As my knowledge of elixirs increases and there’s more abundance of spiritual dicine in the future, I will surely enhance the effectiveness of the honey formula gradually!"
"This is indeed a promising beginning!"
On the whole, this experint has already t Qi Ping’s psychological expectations.
Having confird the honey formula with sixty-seven percent efficacy, Qi Ping imdiately arranged for large-scale refining of the Fire Glow Honey.
Enhancing physical strength also needs to be brought up on the schedule soon.
With sufficient physical strength, Qi Ping’s cultivation improvent can be more unrestrained, and the limit of the Fla Burst Body Technique will be higher.
This type of body technique demands high physical requirents, but the advantage is also a high limit, especially for Qi Ping.
...
While Qi Ping was cultivating spiritual dicine extensively, sothing occurred that made him quite excited.
The number of battle bees in the swarm reached ten thousand!
Four thousand High-speed Ring-cutting Bees!
Two thousand Ink Armor Bees!
Two thousand Highly Poisonous Bees!
Two thousand Balanced Bees!
Moreover, thanks to the Bee King’s advancent, the combat power of all the newly nurtured bees also increased by almost twenty to thirty percent due to the overall improvent in physique!
This was already stronger than the original mutant bee swarm.
"The Bee King truly is the battle core of the swarm, and its enhancent has brought a notable qualitative change in the swarm’s combat power!"
With this Bee King, the future of Qi Ping’s bee swarm is very promising!
As Qi Ping gazed at the ten thousand bees in the forest, which were just slightly smaller than a fist, a highly satisfied smile appeared on his face...
