The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3009 has its own little schemes

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around them, Han Chengye then explained the situation to Han Chengwen.

“Brother, that honey must be extremely useful. Otherwise, Qian Ying wouldn’t have been so careful, even stopping you to hand over all the honey he collected. The honey probably has other effects that he chose to conceal. Otherwise, that honey shouldn’t have needed to be handed over; it should have been directly distributed to the Han family for use as an antidote,” Han Chengwen said.

Han Chengye nodded and said, "That's what I thought too. After I drank it, not only did the honey taste good, but I also felt refreshed after taking it. However, because I didn't have time to savor it properly and was in a hurry to retreat, I didn't experience much after drinking it."

Nobody's a fool. Han Chengye had already tasted the honey and could naturally tell the difference. Even Han Chengwen, who hadn't tasted it, had made inferences based on Qian Ying's actions.

“However, what Qian Ying didn’t expect was that I still had some honeycomb left here, hehe.” After Han Chengye finished speaking, he took out the honeycomb that he had squeezed and consumed earlier from his backpack.

This honeycomb is quite large; when it was taken out earlier, it could be squeezed and filled into two bottles of honey.

When he was injured, he drank quite a lot in his haste, but there was still a lot left, at least a third of it.

"Haha, that's impressive, brother! I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve. I'm impressed!" Han Chengwen exclaimed upon seeing the honeycomb he had produced.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. If Qian Ying hears us, we're in big trouble." Han Chengye quickly gestured for Han Chengwen to speak more quietly.

"Yes, yes, you're right." Han Chengwen said in a low voice, and even stood up to look around.

After all, this is not the family's residence, but in a valley. Besides, although there are their own martial artists around, who can say for sure whether these martial artists will have some inappropriate thoughts?
Besides, it was pitch black all around. Who could guarantee that someone from the Qian family might be hiding in the darkness?

In addition, as a master of innate skill, Qian Ying's hearing is much more sensitive than that of martial artists who have acquired their skills, so it's always better to be cautious.

Han Chengye tore the honeycomb in his hand in half, handed one piece to Han Chengwen, and said, "Here, try this honey. The taste will definitely exceed your expectations."

Then, he started eating the honeycomb in his hand.

In fact, honeycomb is composed of lipids and minerals secreted by red bees. Although its taste is somewhat inferior to honey, it is much more nutritious.

The two of them ate the honeycomb, and at the same time, they felt that the honeycomb in their hands tasted really good.

Especially the honey from the honeycomb, dripping onto that swollen palm, instantly felt cool.

"Huh?" Han Chengye exclaimed softly.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Han Chengwen immediately stopped what he was doing and asked.

"Look!" Han Chengye stretched out his swollen hand in front of Han Chengwen and asked, "Take a look, what's different from before?"

"Let me see." Han Chengwen immediately examined it carefully and found that his older brother's swollen palm had recovered a lot. He said happily, "Brother, the swelling in your sting site has gone down a lot."

Han Chengye looked at the beehive, then at his stung palm, and then applied the honey that had flowed from the beehive to the swollen area, especially to the sting wound.

Sure enough, he felt that the previously dry and swollen area had become cool, and the swelling was visibly subsiding.

"Damn it, that old bastard Qian Ying actually concealed the antidote. After being poisoned by red bee venom, you not only need to drink honey, but also apply honey externally to quickly relieve the venom," Han Chengye said.

Seeing his elder brother's condition, Han Chengwen said, "Brother, let's keep some of this honey. We can't eat any more of it. In case we get stung later, we can apply it externally."

"Hmm, not bad!" Han Chengye nodded in agreement, but this honey tastes really good. It would be great if there were more of it.

Thinking of the vast sea of ​​flowers and the numerous beehives, a little thought suddenly came to mind. Perhaps he and Han Chengwen could also get some more honey.

However, the red bees in the hive are not a major concern. After all, Qian Ying had told them before they set off that the red bees are safer at night and will not attack unless disturbed. The main thing to guard against is the red horns around the hive.

But thinking about the large number of frontline workers is also a real headache.

He was only a martial artist at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm, and even with his brothers, there were only two at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm. It was really not safe for them to collect honey.

Just then, while he was still thinking about the issue of strength, he heard Han Chengwen say, "Big brother, have you felt it?"

"What do you feel?" Han Chengye asked, somewhat puzzled. But before Han Chengwen could answer, he also felt a warm current flowing through his body, starting from his stomach and spreading to his limbs.

Then, the energy previously depleted began to recover at a faster pace. And the bottleneck that had plagued his cultivation for many years seemed to be showing signs of loosening.

Holy crap, this honey is just too good!

Thinking of this, disregarding her physical sensations, she quickly asked Han Chengwen to find a water bottle so she could put the honey in her hand into a container before discussing anything else.

Watching the honey dripping from the honeycomb onto the ground, a pang of heartache shot through her. She quickly opened her mouth to catch the dripping honey. Han Chengwen obediently got up and soon returned with two plastic water bottles.

The two carefully squeezed the honey from the honeycomb into a bottle, and even licked off the honey stuck to their hands. This honey was precious and couldn't be wasted.

Seeing that their water bottles were about half full of honey, they immediately smiled happily.

"We can't waste this honeycomb, let's eat it quickly," Han Chengye said to Han Chengwen.

Moreover, he noticed that the swelling in his previously swollen hand had completely subsided. The detoxifying properties of this honey are simply amazing.

Without delay, the two devoured the honeycomb. Although it didn't taste as good as honey, it was still quite nice.

After finishing their meal, the two immediately sat cross-legged and began meditating and circulating their internal energy, trying to feel whether they could truly break through to the next level.

Of course, it's not about breaking through to the first level of the Innate Realm, but rather breaking through from the initial level of the tenth level of the Acquired Realm to the middle level of the tenth level of the Acquired Realm.

Han Chengye has been cultivating for many years, but he is stuck at this stage and has not made any progress for many years. Now that there is some progress, how could he not be excited?

Unfortunately, perhaps because the amount of honey consumed was too small, the bottleneck only felt loosened.

"Big brother, how are you feeling?"

"Hmm, I didn't expect this honey to be so effective. It seems that old man Qian Ying must know something, which is why he made us hand over all the honey, saying that it would be distributed according to need. I think he wants to keep all the extra honey for himself." Han Chengye suppressed his excitement and felt even more resentful towards that old man Qian Ying.

“Brother, if Qian Ying tries to take it all for herself, there’s nothing we can do to stop her,” Han Chengwen said.

For a moment, both of them felt somewhat discouraged. Alas, Qian Ying was a master of innate cultivation; if the two of them wanted to jump up, he could easily suppress them with a flick of his wrist. He could even easily suppress the Han family members as well.

Sure enough, the powerful reap all the benefits wherever they go, while the weak can only get the meager sustenance. In fact, they might not even get to drink that.

Hey!
Han Chengye and Han Chengwen both sighed at the same time and then fell silent. Even though they still had delicious honey in their hands, they had lost their interest at this moment.

After a moment of silence, Han Chengye suddenly remembered that he had approached Ouyang Min a few days ago, hoping to join forces with him. This would not only allow them to help each other in this valley, but also help them compensate for their lack of military strength.

Besides, only by uniting can we have the strength to resist the suppression of Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing, two innate masters.

So now that we've seen the benefits of honey, shouldn't we go find Ouyang Min and team up with him to see if we can collect some more honey?

Although there are a lot of those narrow gorges, if you act quickly, you should be able to collect some honey.

Considering the benefits of honey, he felt that taking the risk was worthwhile.

"Chengwen, you stay here for now. I'm going to the Ouyang family to discuss this with Ouyang Min," Han Chengye said.

“Okay, go ahead,” Han Chengwen said. He knew that his elder brother was in contact with Ouyang Min, and that collecting honey was dangerous now, so perhaps by finding someone to join forces with, they could get some honey.

Han Chengye hadn't gone far when he turned back and said to Han Chengwen, "Chengwen, give me the bottle of honey you filled earlier."

Han Chengwen didn't say anything, but took out the bottle of honey and handed it to his older brother.

Previously, neither of them had filled their honey jars completely, but they were already more than half full. After taking the jars, they took out their own jars, poured the honey into another jar, and filled it to the brim. They now had about half the honey left in their hands.

He handed the bottle filled with honey back to Han Chengwen, saying, "Take it, but don't drink it. You might need it if you go to collect honey later."

Han Chengwen nodded in agreement, took the bottle, and put it into his backpack.

Looking at the half-full bottle of honey in his hand, Han Chengye found another cup, poured out half of the honey, drank half of it in one gulp, and handed the rest to Han Chengwen, saying, "Drink this."

"Okay, big brother." Han Chengwen immediately took the honey happily, drank it down in one gulp, and then made a comfortable smacking sound.

Han Chengye took the remaining half-bottle of honey and headed to the Ouyang family's temporary camp.

Sometimes, if you want help, you have to make sacrifices. After all, you have to give to receive, and this half-bottle of honey is the price you have to pay.

Previously, Ouyang Min and others went to collect honey, but when they were divided into teams, Ouyang Min was assigned to the team that collected red thread fruit.

Han Chengye was overjoyed at this thought; perhaps this was a sign.

After all, whoever collects the red thread fruit will definitely keep some for themselves, so that if they are attacked by a red thread fruit, they can use the red thread fruit to remove the snake venom.
