The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2987: Many Gains
Looking at the area, which was over 400 meters wide and nearly 5 kilometers long, revealing dark soil, Chen Mo smiled happily. This was the result of tonight's work; it had been quite tiring. If only he had help, he could have collected all the beehives and the red spider mites in this area without leaving a trace.

Unfortunately, he had no help. Even with Ouyang Ruoxi and the others, they were only a burden, not an aid. So if there were similar situations later, he would have to take matters into his own hands. It was truly a bittersweet experience.

After sighing, Chen Mo darted towards the woods, covering five kilometers in just two minutes. If there were no restrictions on flying in the valley, the time would be even shorter.

However, when Chen Mo arrived at the edge of the woods, he did not immediately enter the bush passage, but instead slipped to the front of the nearest beehive.

Then, he took out several talismans and released them by channeling his true energy.

The effects of arrays and talismans are similar, but their coverage areas differ; arrays cover a much larger area, while talismans cover a much smaller one. However, Chen Mo only wants to extract some honey from this beehive and doesn't need to cover a large area, so using talismans will suffice.

After several talismans were released, the red line in the nearby area and the red bees in the hive stopped moving and remained in place, entering the illusion.

At this moment, Chen Mo took out a long knife, broke open the red bee hive, and began to collect honey. When breaking it open, he only made a small hole and preserved part of the hive so that he could use it later.

In addition, he took out several wine jars from his Qiankun bag. They were the same large wine jars that originally contained medicinal wine, each jar holding a hundred catties of wine.

The wine in the jar was left over from when Chen Mo collected the Yin Soul Water from the Yellow Springs Spider Lily. He had poured it out earlier, but hadn't used it all. Now it was convenient for him to use.

Harvesting the honey was also very simple. The bees in the vicinity were already in a dreamlike state, neither struggling nor moving around, and they wouldn't cause any trouble. So he used his divine sense to move all the red bees aside, and without damaging the newly opened honeycomb, he directly dug out the honeycomb inside. Then he used a long knife to cut off pieces of honeycomb, and then used his divine sense to squeeze them, and the honey flowed into the wine jar.

The honey is very viscous and amber in color, with a sweet floral aroma. In particular, the spiritual energy contained in the honey is also very high. This stuff looks pretty good.

While collecting the honey, Chen Mo couldn't resist taking a few bites. It was indeed very sweet and fragrant, and after entering his stomach, it gave him a warm feeling, which was very comfortable. It was truly worthy of being honey made by the Red Bees, a good thing indeed.

After collecting enough honey to fill five wine jars, Chen Mo took out some plastic water bottles and continued collecting honey into them. The method was simple: he used his divine sense to control the honeycomb, squeezing and cutting it out, and then controlling the honey to flow into the bottles.

The honey was collected in these bottles mainly to give to Ouyang Ruoxi and the others, since they had promised to collect some for them yesterday. Also, they needed to be wary of red bees if they wanted to pass through this area.

Red bees are highly venomous, and the honey they produce is the ultimate antidote. Therefore, filling several bottles will ensure that other martial artists passing through this area are unaffected by their venom. The antidote is administered both internally and externally.

After filling over a dozen bottles with honey, Chen Mo stopped. Then, using his divine sense, he controlled the soil on the ground and filled it directly into the areas he had damaged. This way, at least the bees wouldn't scatter once they regained their senses. As for the many red bees that were buried, there was nothing he could do about it. Finally, he reinstalled the piece of honeycomb shell that he had initially cut off.

In this way, if you look from the outside, you really can't see any traces that the beehive has been harvested.

After examining his masterpiece, Chen Mo casually collected some of the nearby Acerola Fiery Crosses into the cloth bag. However, since there were quite a few Acerola Fiery Crosses in the bag, it wasn't suitable to hang them on the back of his backpack, so he simply put them into his Qiankun Bag.

After clearing away all the footprints and other traces in the vicinity, and finding no extra traces after scanning with his divine sense, he flashed into the forest and bush passage and quickly headed towards the canyon.

Upon reaching the edge of the canyon, Chen Mo first inquired with the mythical beast whether anyone had come by during the time he was gone. The answer was no. Chen Mo was relieved; no one had come, meaning his actions wouldn't be exposed.

Then let this king-like beast continue to guard the rock base and carry out its previous mission: if a male appears, send him to his death; if a female appears, expel her.

After giving his instructions, Chen Mo rushed down into the canyon. If he didn't hurry, it might be dawn before he could complete his mission.

As for whether this king-like beast in the canyon would make a mistake in the task he was given, that was absolutely impossible. This creature was called a king-like beast because its intelligence was quite high, so Chen Mo's orders were very clear.

Upon reaching the canyon floor, all I could see was that same dense cluster of cave entrances. After a quick glance, I chose one and plunged right in, rapidly heading towards the space below the passage.

Since there were several other king-level beasts present in the area, the direction was easy to determine; he simply headed in the direction he sensed the king-level beasts. He sped along, without worrying about anything else or any beasts attacking him, so the journey didn't take much time—less than an hour—before arriving at the underground space. The environment inside was unchanged, nothing special to describe, except perhaps for the few king-level beasts guarding the Yellow Springs Spider Lily flowers.

Of course, there are also the long, sharp thorns stuck in the flowers of the underworld. Chen Mo didn't take the thorns back when he left, so they are still stuck in the petals.

However, the Lycoris radiata of the underworld still blooms despite such damage, without being affected in the slightest, which truly shows its extraordinary vitality.

Chen Mo didn't delay. He immediately took out a set of 108 array bases, set them up with the help of his true essence, and activated the array to completely envelop the underground space. Then he released various talismans around him before taking out the Qiankun Pearl and using his divine sense to find a suitable location within it.

The Yellow Springs Spider Lily requires a dense concentration of Yin energy and abundant spiritual energy in its underground space to grow and condense Yin Soul Water. If the environment is unsuitable, it may cause the Yellow Springs Spider Lily to die.

After searching for a while, it didn't take much time, and they decided to create a cave space next to the original Lingxiao Ghost Mist Flower Cave to grow the Yellow Springs Spider Lily.

The planting space for the Ghost Mist Flower is filled not only with a large amount of Yin energy, but also with a large number of Yin spirits, so creating a space next to it would be perfect for the Yellow Springs Spider Lily.

After expanding the cave, it was connected to the adjacent space, but the connecting passage couldn't be enlarged; it had to be a narrow one. Otherwise, the spiky monsters from the Lingxiao Ghost Mist Flower space would enter, and it would be bad if they damaged the Yellow Springs Spider Lily.

Currently, there is only one Yellow Springs Spider Lily. Only after it produces seeds can it be planted on a larger scale.

However, because Qingxuan Zhenren needed to soak his own soul essence in a large amount of Yin Soul Water during the cultivation period, the flower kept blooming but did not produce seeds.

Chen Mo has now collected a considerable amount of Yin Soul Water, so he has decided to let the Yellow Springs Spider Lily begin to bear fruit later, so that he can harvest the seeds at that time.

The overall layout of the space remains largely the same as before. The only difference is the absence of the passageways leading to the canyon floor, replaced by just a few ventilation shafts. In the center of the space, there is still a pool of water, and in the center of the pool, there is still a platform.

Then, Chen Mo used the array and his divine sense to collect the entire Yellow Springs Spider Lily into the Qiankun Pearl and sent it to this newly created space, where it was planted on the platform in the center of the pool as it was originally.

Nothing was damaged during the transplantation into the Qiankun Pearl; the Yellow Springs Spider Lily remained completely unharmed. To ensure its vitality and adaptation to the new environment, the water from the original pool in the new space was moved to the new pool. A considerable amount of spiritual liquid was also added to the pool.

In an instant, the entire space was filled with spiritual energy and also with a strong yin energy. After the Yellow Springs Spider Lily was transplanted into this space, its branches and leaves stretched out considerably.

Of course, Chen Mo also removed the thorns from the flowers. Now that the plant was his own, he naturally wanted to cherish it.

To ensure the safety and survival of the Yellow Springs Spider Lily, he also put the original guardian beast that had protected the plant back into the cave to keep it safe.

Because the King Beasts are generated from Yin Soul power, they do not need to eat. As long as they have Yin Soul power or Yin Soul Pearls, they can survive. Apart from the King Beast guarding the rock base in the sky above the canyon, the other eight King Beasts were assigned by him to protect the Yellow Springs Spider Lily in the cave.

After scanning the area with his divine sense and finding nothing amiss, Chen Mo withdrew his consciousness and stored the Qiankun Pearl in his dantian.

Looking at the time, it was almost dawn, so he didn't delay any longer. He retrieved the array base and then quickly ran towards the canyon floor.

By the time we reached the top of the canyon, the sky was beginning to lighten.

Chen Mo immediately caused the king-level beast guarding the base to transform into black mist once more, protecting the sky above the canyon.

After all, it's not appropriate to expose what's below the canyon yet. Chen Mo will retrieve the king-like beast after the main force crosses the canyon.
