Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 24 Honey Gatherer

Luo Qingli was quite surprised when he heard that. Forget about other things, suppressing inner demons, there is such a good thing?
You must know that when high-level monks advance, inner demons can be regarded as the biggest obstacles!
Yan Chao glanced at her and said coolly: "Don't think too much, that is not something that ordinary people can get, not to mention that the Jade Toad Sect regards that tree as a precious eyeball, which is the refining of the wooden sign. The craftsmanship is also a secret that is not passed down. Except for the Jindan Yuanying monks in the sect, only some elite disciples who have entered the house can get one after building the foundation. And the wooden tablet needs to be shed with blood to identify the owner. If it is not its owner, even if you get it, It’s just a broken piece of wood.”

Luo Qingli blinked, she had indeed never heard of these things.

Na Zhao said that even Xue Ce, whom he met in Xingshui City last time, did not have such a wooden sign. Even if his status in the Jade Toad Sect was not low, he had only reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and had not yet established the foundation.

Luo Qingli would not ask for unrealistic things. She could just listen to this kind of thing casually. But now she was a little curious, "How could Boss Yan know such details?"

Yan Chao glanced at her sideways and chuckled, "I have lived for many more years than you. Of course, my knowledge and experience are not comparable to those of a little girl like you. Besides, that wooden tablet can be regarded as a magic weapon, and the refining techniques are perfect." Mystery, as a weapon refiner, is it not normal to pay more attention to something?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and took another sip of wine, "You were delayed for a total of five days this time. I'll mark it down for you. Now that you're fine, it's almost time to go to work. Seeing as you are so poor, the store is not busy. When the time comes, you can go out and take some outside jobs and pay off your debts as soon as possible. If you are as open-minded as I am, I will definitely turn a blind eye."

The corner of Luo Qingli's mouth twitched slightly, and she replied vaguely, and was about to go back to continue blacksmithing. Yan Chao stopped her again: "Wait a minute, I've finished drinking the wine, you can buy it for me at Zuixian Winery in the west. Come back with a few jars of wine, tell me my name and tell people the same old thing."

Yan Chao threw a storage bag to her. Luo Qingli looked inside and counted about three hundred spirit stones. "Is it all used to buy wine?"

"Well, let's go."

Luo Qingli took the spirit stone and went out.

She had also run errands for Yan Chao before, so she was basically familiar with the shops in Fang City. The Zuixian Wine Shop sold spiritual wine and had always been very popular in Fang City. Many monks who loved wine went there. Buy wine there.

As soon as Luo Qingli walked into the store, a waiter in the Qi refining stage came up to him, "What do you want to buy, sir?"

"I'm a guy from Bailianju. Boss Yan asked me to buy wine. Just keep doing the same thing."

She handed the spirit stone to the clerk, who looked at it and nodded, "Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll pack it up and bring it to you."

Luo Qingli nodded slightly, looked around, and saw a notice in front of the winery saying that he was purchasing spiritual honey. One pound of wild spiritual honey cost twenty spiritual stones. If it were queen honey, the price would triple.

This price is already quite high.

Luo Qingli's heart moved slightly. The waiter had already taken out the wine and put it in a storage bag. Luo Qingli glanced at it and saw that there were only five jars.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, "The price of this wine is a bit high..."

There are three hundred spirit stones in the storage bag. After calculation, a jar of wine actually costs sixty spirit stones.

"This is our specialty cold wine. It is brewed with Lingxiao fruit. The price is indeed higher than other wines. Most people can't afford it. Only people like Boss Yan who are strong and strong will buy it." The waiter laughed. He explained, "Don't worry, little brother, we are a time-honored brand, and Boss Yan is our regular customer. We will definitely not let you suffer." Luo Qingli said nothing more and pointed at the door. The notice said: "Do you still accept spiritual honey?"

"Yes, the signature of our winery is mead, which requires a large amount of spiritual honey, and it must be brewed from wild spiritual bees. The mead made from artificially cultivated spiritual honey does not have the right taste."

The clerk patted his chest and said: "After watching for a long time, the clerks in our store have developed a pair of sharp eyes. They can tell at a glance whether the spiritual honey is produced by wild or domestic spiritual bees. Just two days ago, there was a practitioner The casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi took spiritual honey in exchange for spiritual stones. It was a mixture of wild spiritual honey and domestic honey. I only tasted it and found something was wrong. I drove him away and never did it again. business!"

The waiter was very proud when he talked about this, and Luo Qingli also smiled slightly. Seeing her expression, the waiter asked tentatively: "Why is my little brother interested in collecting honey?"

"I'm a little interested..."

Luo Qingli paused, looking a bit speechless, "To be honest, I can hardly earn any wages from Boss Yan, so I want to go somewhere else to earn some extra money."

The clerk was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter the next moment, "Hey, little brother, I can understand you very well. Really, our Daqu City is only so big, and Bailian Juyan Papi is famous far and wide... eh , don’t say this to Boss Yan!”

Swallow skin?
Hearing this name, Luo Qingli felt it was very appropriate and couldn't help but laugh. The wine shop clerk said again: "Little brother, if you want to collect honey, just go to the woods to the west outside the city and look for it anywhere in the area. You can find wild beehives, and many honey collectors go there to collect honey.”

"But I have to remind my little brother, the fresher this spiritual honey is picked, the better. However, spiritual bees are social monsters. Even if a lot of protective measures are taken, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed. There is also the king who specializes in producing queen honey. The mouthparts of a bee are comparable to the finest magic weapons. Not only are they poisonous, but a bite can even tear off a piece of flesh alive."

The guy knows the honey collecting thing in detail. There are many casual cultivators in the city who go to collect honey and come to the wine shop to exchange for spiritual stones. The attack power of spiritual bees is not high, but it is better in numbers. No matter how careful you are, you will always be defeated. There will be injuries, so the price of Lingmi has always been relatively high.

"And there has always been a common rule among honey collectors. Honey must be harvested. It doesn't matter if you kill a few bees, but you can't catch them all in one go. Otherwise, the honey bees will be gone and you will no longer be able to collect honey there."

This is the principle of keeping a thin line in everything and a steady flow of water will last forever.

Luo Qingli wrote them down one by one. The clerk was also very talkative and chatted with her some more. Finally, he talked about the secret of collecting honey: "There is a magical herb called purple vine leaf sold in the drug store. Spiritual bees hate its smell. Before going to collect honey, many people will crush the juice from wisteria leaves and apply it on their exposed skin, or they will dry it in the sun and light it, and smoke it to drive away the bees. These are both very effective methods."

Luo Qingli nodded, thanked the man again, and returned to Bailian Residence with the wine.

Yan Chao was addicted to alcohol, and when he saw her coming back, he didn't have a good tone, "Why have you been gone for so long?"

"I saw a notice at the door of the winery that spiritual honey was collected, so I chatted with the winery's clerk for a while."

Yan Chao laughed "ha", "You move very quickly. I just said you could go out to make extra money, and you found a job for yourself?"
