Chapter 13 Soul-Eating Bee

One day, Shi Yue lifted the gauze covering the jar, and six yellow bees the size of fingernails flew out of it and landed in the palm of Shi Yue's hand.

Shi Yue could feel the connection between the six soul-eating bees and himself. With a thought, the six soul-eating bees flew out of his palm.

There was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy on the six soul-eating bees. They were undoubtedly spiritual insects. They could inhale and exhale spiritual energy to practice.

Scale insects have little attack ability, and Shi Yue was not worried that scale insects could hurt the six soul-eating bees.

"Go! Eliminate all those scale insects," Shi Yue pointed lightly at the spiritual field, and the six soul-eating bees flapped their wings and flew towards the spiritual field.

It was impossible for six soul-eating bees to kill all the scale insects in the three-acre spiritual field, but the time loss speed in the mysterious space was ten times that of the outside world, and the reproduction speed of soul-eating bees was also ten times that of the outside world.

Shi Yue walked to a tobacco plant and saw a soul-eating bee landing on the root of the tobacco plant. It pulled out a transparent scale insect from the root of the tobacco plant and ate it in no time. Then the soul-eating bee flew to another tobacco plant.

Seeing this, Shi Yue nodded with satisfaction and exited the mysterious space.

After walking out of the basement, Shi Yue applied rain to the water moon flower, returned to his residence, applied rain to the spiritual rice in the spiritual field before leaving.

Shi Yue's life was very fulfilling. Whenever he had time, he would enter the mysterious space to find scale insects and kill them.

With Shi Yue's efforts, the number of scale insects became fewer and fewer, the tobacco plant and the scorching sun grass grew better and better, and the vacant one-acre spiritual field was also planted with spiritual rice. In addition, he also planted five blood fruit trees and five purple apricot trees.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Half a month had passed in the outside world, and half a year had passed in the mysterious space. The blood-qi fruit tree and the purple apricot tree had grown to more than two meters high, with luxuriant branches and leaves.

The six soul-eating bees had no natural enemies in the mysterious space, and with a large number of scale insects for them to eat, they soon grew larger. They built a beehive on a blood-qi fruit tree, and the area of ​​the beehive continued to expand.

What made Shi Yue most happy was that the soul-eating bees began to lay eggs. The six soul-eating bees became hundreds, and the number increased by nearly a hundred times.

Shi Yue did not need to recognize the newly born soul-eating bees as masters. He only needed to control the queen bee to control the other soul-eating bees.

Although the soul-eating bees were spiritual insects, except for their longer lifespan, they were not much different from ordinary bees. They were also divided into three types: queen bees, worker bees, and drones.

In addition to eating, the queen bee's main responsibility is to lay eggs and give birth to more offspring for the entire hive. The drone is responsible for mating with the queen bee and reproducing offspring. The drone only mates with the queen bee once in its life and dies soon after mating. The worker bees are female bees that lack reproductive ability. They are responsible for collecting food, feeding larvae, secreting nectar to clean the nest, building the hive, protecting the nest and attacking the enemy. The number of worker bees in a bee colony determines the rise and fall of the bee colony.

Hundreds of soul-eating bees danced in the spiritual field, collecting nectar or looking for scale insects to kill them, and they were busy all the time.

As the number of soul-eating bees increased, the scale insects in the spiritual field became fewer and fewer, almost extinct, which made Shi Yue very happy.

One day, when Shi Yue came back from applying rain to his own spiritual field, he found that the young woman who came to find Uncle Zhou Hong last time appeared outside the yard, looking quite anxious.

"Disciple Shi Yue meets Uncle Murong." Shi Yue bowed respectfully.

Taixu Sect has a strict hierarchy. Qi Refining disciples must salute when they meet cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Well, Brother Zhou hasn't come back yet?" Murong Xiaoxiao nodded and asked with a frown.

"No." Shi Yue shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Murong Xiaoxiao looked a little disappointed. She suddenly remembered something, looked at Shi Yue carefully, and asked, "Besides helping Brother Zhou to look after the cave, what else do you need to do?"

"Raining on the spiritual field?" Shi Yue answered truthfully.

"Raining? So, you know how to plant?" Murong Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked with expectation.

"Know a little bit!" Shi Yue said with a hard head, with a bad feeling in his heart.

"Great, there is a problem with the spiritual medicine I planted. Can you help me take a look? If you can help me solve the problem, you will definitely be rewarded." Murong Xiaoxiao said with joy.

After hearing this, Shi Yue's mouth twitched, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. He wanted to slap himself twice. How could he know how to grow spiritual medicine? The Ningyan Tobacco and Lieyang Grass he planted had problems, and they were solved only after reading the classics of Uncle Zhou Hong.

"What? You don't want to go? Or do you not know how to grow anything at all, and you just lied to me?" Seeing this, Murong Xiaoxiao's face suddenly sank, and she said in a cold voice.

After hearing this, Shi Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he said he didn't want to go, he would definitely offend Uncle Murong. If he said he didn't know how to grow, he would be deceiving his elders, which would be a greater sin.

"Of course not, it's just that my experience in growing spiritual medicine is not very rich, and I'm afraid I can't cure Uncle Murong's spiritual medicine." Shi Yue thought for a while and explained carefully.

"Whether it is good or not, we will know after seeing it. Since Senior Brother Zhou is confident to let you take care of the cave, it means that you still have some ability. Don't refuse, come with me!" After saying that, Murong Xiaoxiao released the lotus magic weapon and jumped up.

"Ability? It's obviously because the reward given by Senior Brother Zhou is too little, no one is willing to take it, so it's my turn." After hearing this, Shi Yue's mouth twitched and thought to himself in his heart.

After listening to Murong Xiaoxiao's words, Shi Yue could only release the leaf magic weapon and jump up no matter how reluctant he was.

Not long after, Shi Yue followed Murong Xiaoxiao and came to a wide valley.

Outside the valley stood a stone tablet about ten feet high, engraved with three silver characters "Peach Blossom Valley".

In the valley, there was a large piece of white fog, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly, but the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, as if there were many flowers and plants planted inside.

"Follow me. If you trigger the ban, you will be in trouble." Murong Xiaoxiao told Shi Yue.

"Disciple understands." Shi Yue nodded.

Murong Xiaoxiao took out a white square token and shook it gently towards the valley. A white light flew out of it and sank into the mist.

The mist rolled and surged, dissipated and disappeared, and a large area of ​​peach blossoms appeared in Shi Yue's eyes.

The peach blossom forest was very dense, and there was no end at all. Along the way, wherever Murong Xiaoxiao walked, the peach blossoms would automatically separate and make a passage. After Shi Yue walked past, they would automatically move back to their original position, as if someone was controlling it.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the two walked out of the peach blossom forest, and a gorgeously decorated courtyard appeared in front of them.

This courtyard covers a large area, with pavilions, towers, gardens and corridors everywhere.

Shi Yue was stunned for a moment. He took a deep breath and was surprised to find that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was even richer than that of Uncle Zhou's residence.

Uncle Murong had successfully built his foundation at a young age. Not only was his cave decorated gorgeously, but it was also very large. He must be a person with a background.

Thinking of this, Shi Yue's face showed a solemn expression. He could not afford to offend such a person of noble birth.

Under the leadership of Murong Xiaoxiao, Shi Yue walked through corridors, passed three small courtyards, and walked across five circular arch bridges made of white marble before arriving at his destination, the Lingtian Cave.

According to Shi Yue's estimation, the spiritual field in front of him was at least ten acres.

According to the classification of spiritual medicine types, the spiritual field is divided into three parts. On the left is a large area of ​​green grass about a foot high, covered by a huge transparent light curtain. In the middle is a large area of ​​blue flowers several inches long, covered by a huge blue light curtain. On the right is a field of golden flowers, most of which have withered.

It seems that the problem is the golden flowers.

"Junior Brother Shi, the Jinluo flower has withered inexplicably since a month ago. Take a look at what happened. If you cure it, you will get a reward." Murong Xiaoxiao pointed at the golden flowers and introduced slowly.

Shi Yue nodded and walked towards the golden flowers.

He came to a withered Jinluo flower and squatted down. He found that there were traces of insect bites on the surface of this Jinluo flower.

Seven or eight black beetles the size of fingernails flew past Shi Yue unscrupulously, landed on a Jinluo flower, opened their mouths and bit it, and soon, a petal of the Jinluo flower was eaten by the black beetles.

Shi Yue walked around the spiritual field where the golden flowers were planted and found that many of them had signs of being bitten by insects.

He returned to Murong Xiaoxiao, thought for a moment, and asked, "Uncle Murong, is this field of golden flowers usually not protected by formations?"

"That's not the case. Except when it rains, it is usually protected by formations." Murong Xiaoxiao shook her head and said.

"I have carefully checked. There are signs of being bitten by insects on the golden flowers. There are many black beetles in the spiritual field. I guess these insects took the opportunity to fly in when you removed the formation to rain." Shi Yue analyzed.

"I also know that it is those black beetles that are causing trouble, but do you have any solution? These black beetles are too small, and some even burrow into the soil. I can't kill them all. Uncle Shi, do you have any solution?" Murong Xiaoxiao nodded and said with a frown.

"I have a kind of spirit insect in my hand, which may be able to deal with these black beetles." Shi Yue heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly.

To be honest, Shi Yue had no idea whether the spirit-eating bees could deal with these black beetles.

"Oh, great, let your spirit insect out and try it." Murong Xiaoxiao heard this, her eyes lit up, and urged.

Shi Yue nodded and put his right hand into his arms, but at this moment, he thought of one thing, he did not have a spirit beast bag, and the spirit-eating bees were usually placed in the mysterious space.

Now in front of Murong Xiaoxiao, he certainly could not enter the mysterious space, let alone take out the blue bead, otherwise the secret of the blue bead would be exposed, which was not what Shi Yue wanted to see.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me that you don't have your spirit beast bag with you!" Seeing this, Murong Xiaoxiao frowned and said with some displeasure.

"Um, that's right. I stayed in Uncle Zhou's cave." Shi Yue nodded and said with some guilt.
