Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 132: Demon Plants Forest 11

After Shen Xu advanced to the foundation establishment realm, the Chaos Flame Space expanded from one thousand acres to two thousand acres.

Since then, Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, and Xiaoren had planted and transplanted many spirit grasses, spiritual fruits, and poisonous herbs.

Looking around, the space no longer looked empty and uncared for.

It now had thousands of spirit grasses and spiritual fruit trees.

"Not bad." Shen Xu nodded but soon continued.

"It’s too bad the space didn’t upgrade when I advanced to the golden core ream."

"I think the first time was a coincidence." Zhen Yuan said.

Back then, he desperately fed the space because Shen Xu was in retreat and the egg was about to hatch.

As a result, Shen Xu, Yang Shi, and the Chaos Flame space advanced at the same time.

"We need to actively upgrade the space since we plan to breed and raise ten-element honey bees." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"There is no hurry though. It won’t be easy to breed ten-element honey bees using the current honey bees."

"I wish there was a way to hurry the process." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but frown.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" He asked.

"I..." Shen Xu lowered his head.

"What’s wrong?"

"Brother Yuan, I noticed."

"Noticed? Noticed what?"

"If you and I simultaneously take a qi replenishing pill, I can replenish half my qi in one hour. However, you can barely replenish ten per cent in one hour. Pills are not as effective on you as on ordinary cultivators." Shen Xu said, his eyes glistening with tears.

"Even perfect-grade pills are only a little better. Brother Yuan..."

Shen Xu had not been at ease since he discovered this matter.

In the Canglan continent, Zhen Yuan was a top-tier cultivator and few could harm him.

However, this would not be the case when they went to the Tianqi continent and other higher-level continents.

When Shen Xu thought that Zhen Yuan could not count on pills when he was in trouble, he felt suffocated and desperate.

Because of this, he couldn’t calm down when he discovered the descendants of the ten-element honey bees.

From ancient records, the honey and royal jelly of ten-element honey bees were priceless treasures.

When brewed into a spiritual wine, the honey was more than ten times better than a perfect-grade qi replenishing pill.

Most importantly, its qi replenishing effect was instantaneous.

Just one mouthful of level three ten-element honey wine was enough to fully replenish the qi of a golden core realm cultivator.

The royal jelly was even more outrageous!

From what Shen Xu knew, frequently taking the royal jelly could cleanse the body, and widen and strengthen a cultivator’s dantian and meridians.

Although the effect wasn’t as dramatic as chaos water, the royal jelly helped to gradually enhance a cultivator’s talent.

"I am sorry I didn’t say anything." Zhen Yuan said, pulling the double into his arms.

Hearing this, Shen Xu burst into tears.

"Brother Yuan, you must always be careful."

"I will. Don’t worry."

When Zhen Yuan first met Shen Xu, pills were still useful.

However, the more powerful he became, the less effect they had on him. Even soul-nourishing and soul-replenishing pills were slowly losing their effect.

"Xiaoxu..."

"Mmh."

"Thank you for noticing."

"How can I not notice?" Shen Xu pinched the man’s waist.

’Brother Yuan, you are everything to me. How can I miss a thing about you?’ He thought.

"Brother Yuan, do you think the ten-element spiritual honey wine will work on you?"

"It should." Zhen Yuan said in a confident voice.

"The honey and royal jelly of ten-element honey bees are natural treasures; very in line with nature’s laws. But Xiaoxu..."

"What’s the matter?"

"From what I have read, a colony of one hundred thousand ten-element bees can barely produce one hundred grams of honey and ten grams of royal jelly in a year. You are going to lose a lot of spirit stones."

"Who cares about spirit stones? I certainly don’t." Shen Xu snorted.

"You are right. No one cares about spirit stones." Zhen Yuan agreed with a doting smile.

After that, the two continued to look around the space.

An hour later, they returned to the sitting room of the bamboo hut.

"We have enough plants to raise fifty thousand honey bees." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"Brother Yuan, should I contract one or more of the bees?"

"Not yet."

"What do you mean?"

"The current bees are ordinary and their potential is limited. They will die in a few years even if we carefully cultivate them."

"What we should do is bring a small colony into the space. With the spiritual water, spiritual flowers, and other resources, each generation of bees will be better than the previous. When the time comes, you can contract a queen with the best bloodline."

"Alright, let’s do that." Shen Xu nodded.

For three weeks, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu observed the bees’ colony.

From this observation, they learned the bees’ habits.

First, the queen laid ten thousand to thirty thousand eggs each week.

The eggs would hatch after three days and the new larvae would be raised for one week.

After one week, each of the new queens would migrate with a small colony of bees. Additionally, half the main colony would leave to collect nectar and pollen.

On the fourth week, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu waited for the new queens to leave the hive.

Soon after, they followed the queen with the best bloodline and put her colony in the space.

Following that, they returned to the beehive and found most of the bees had already gone out to collect pollen and nectar.

Seeing this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan didn’t waste time.

They trapped the remaining bees in a formation disk and began stealing honey.

When collecting honey, Zhen Yuan suddenly stopped.

"Xiaoxu, let me collect that one." He said, pointing at the place Shen Xu was collecting.

"What’s wrong?" The double asked.
