Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 341: Chapter 186: [Beehive: Level 2]

[Beehive: Level 2 (Upgradable)]

[Spirit Effect 1: +40% Bee Swarm Reproduction Speed; +30% Bee Swarm Recovery Speed; +10% Bee Swarm Advancement Probability.]

[Spirit Effect 2 (No Poison No Bee): Adds ”Bee Wax Corrosion” poison to bee swarm attacks, capable of corroding the opponent’s spiritual power operation, causing immense pain.]

[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×100; Bee King Cultivation reaches Tier Two; Bee Swarm Quantity reaches 10,000; Mid-stage Second Rank Demon Pills ×2; Bloodthirsty Poison Bee Corpse ×1. (Fulfilled)]

Ji Yuan glanced at the panel, his heart immediately settled.

Indeed, it can be upgraded.

Previously, even the most difficult-to-acquire Bloodthirsty Poison Bee corpse, Ji Yuan had obtained at great expense.

What remained was the Bee King’s cultivation and the swarm’s numbers.

Spirit Stones were the least of Ji Yuan’s concerns, as were the mid-stage second rank demon pills. The ten Phoenix Peaches he received before had not been used up.

Now, after working outside for over half a year, waiting patiently, the moment for an upgrade has finally come.

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but feel somewhat pleased.

After all, once these Spirit-Devouring Bees level up to Level 2, they can form combat power, which would be beneficial for him.

Thus, with this thought, Ji Yuan arrived in front of the dense forest on the west side of Mist Island.

Before even getting close, he could hear the buzzing sound emanating from deep within the forest.

Unlike before, hearing this sound now, his eardrums felt a bit pained, and his chest felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Over ten thousand Spirit-Devouring Bees, together with a Tier Two Bee King, what a formidable force.

Ji Yuan released a slight trace of his aura, and instantly, a large swarm of Spirit-Devouring Bees flew out from the dense forest.

Thick and vast, covering the sky and the earth.

When they got close to Ji Yuan, they circled around him continuously.

Even the Bee King flew out.

Ji Yuan’s heart thought moved, urging the Bee King, and immediately all the buzzing Spirit-Devouring Bees became silent.

Only the rustling sound of their wings remained.

”Come, come, come.”

Ji Yuan generously tossed out 50 pieces of mid-grade Spirit Stones, and the swarm swept them away.

Among them, 10 pieces were devoured completely before even hitting the ground.

Witnessing this, a bold idea popped into Ji Yuan’s mind.

If he were to throw them into a Spirit Vein and cultivate for decades, or even a hundred years.

By then... what kind of strength would these Spirit-Devouring Bees have?

Even a Nascent Soul might have to make a detour upon seeing them!

It’s a pity though, without power, there’s no way to seize a few Spirit Veins.

Ji Yuan stepped forward to disperse the bee swarm and threw the Bloodthirsty Poison Bee corpse obtained earlier into the dense forest, without even removing the demon pill inside, ensuring nothing goes wrong.

Two mid-stage second rank demon pills were thrown in, followed by 100 mid-grade Spirit Stones, generously scattered.

With everything prepared.

Ji Yuan’s heart moved, and he chose to upgrade.

In an instant, it seemed as if a blue light flashed deep within the dense forest, flickering in and out, then disappearing.

After that, no other strange phenomenon occurred.

Among the thousands of bee swarms in front of Ji Yuan, suddenly four or five Spirit-Devouring Bees began to change.

First, their bodies grew at a visibly rapid pace and then even their auras increased significantly.

Clearly evolving from a mid-stage first rank demon beast to a late-stage first rank demon beast.

If all Spirit-Devouring Bees became Tier Two demon beasts, what kind of scene would that be?

As Ji Yuan thought, he saw the originally large Bee King suddenly flap its wings, its body shrinking smaller and smaller until it became finger-sized, stopping on a late-stage first rank Spirit-Devouring Bee.

”This is...”

Shape-shifting is a skill of the Bee King, or is it a skill of the Tier Two Spirit-Devouring Bees?

Upon closer thought, this should be a skill possessed by Tier Two Spirit-Devouring Bees.

Essentially, there’s no difference between the Bee King and Spirit-Devouring Bees.

They’re all bees, just a leader, that’s all.

When all the bee swarm grows into Tier Two demon beasts, that would be even more interesting... finger-sized Tier Two demon beasts, swarming all over, who could withstand them?

In just this brief moment, Ji Yuan noticed that from deep within the dense forest, over a hundred Spirit-Devouring Bees had flown out again.

All were in the early stage of the first rank, very small, with some even stumbling as they flew, appearing as if they had just crawled out of the [Beehive].

Ji Yuan glanced at the panel.

The reproductive speed of a Level 2 [Beehive] has increased by 40%, so it’s only natural for more Spirit-Devouring Bees to emerge.

What about a Level 3 [Beehive]?

Ji Yuan looked further down.

[Beehive: Level 3 (Not Upgradable)]

[Spirit Effect 1: +50% Bee Swarm Reproduction Speed; +40% Bee Swarm Recovery Speed; +15% Bee Swarm Advancement Probability.]

[Spirit Effect 2 (Spirit Devouring Armor): Spirit-Devouring Bees can transform into armor, devouring all Spiritual Qi around, unnoticed by cultivators.]

[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×900; Bee King Cultivation reaches Tier Three; Bee Swarm Quantity reaches 80,000; Tier Three Demon Pills ×3; Demon Spirit Bee Corpse ×1. (Not Fulfilled)]

Spirit Effect 1 is still a regular upgrade.

Spirit Effect 2... definitely a crafty tool!

The armor formed by Spirit-Devouring Bees can devour all surrounding Spiritual Qi, creating a Qi-less body, right?

Paired with the Concealing Breath Spell, the opponent won’t be able to find you no matter what.

Simply a must-have when going out!

It’s a pity, now it’s still a Level 2 [Beehive].

The upgrade conditions, to be honest, are somewhat challenging.

The Spirit Stones aren’t difficult, but getting the Bee King’s cultivation to Tier Three, and the swarm quantity to 80,000 is tough.

It takes slow nurturing.

The swarm is still manageable; with a 40% reproductive speed increase, the numbers will naturally rise.

But getting the Bee King’s cultivation to Tier Three, that’s challenging.

Despite the difficulty, it has to be done slowly.
