The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3037 Using the Spirit-Guiding Pill

The valley fell silent again at night, and the entire lake appeared even more gloomy under the cover of darkness.

Of course, if an ordinary person stood by the lake, they wouldn't be able to see the water at all; all they would see would be darkness.
In the dim light, Ouyang Nan and the others were naturally able to see some things clearly.

The lake was as still as if it didn't exist, and the beehive opposite it was also completely silent, except for the occasional rustling of a red line crawling or the sound of a snake flicking its tongue.

Anyway, the entire valley falls into silence after nightfall. If a person lived in such a place for a long time, they would definitely suffer from mental breakdown.

Of course, this doesn't include Chen Mo, who quite likes this place. It's perfect for his cultivation, and not only is he undisturbed, but it also has many precious resources, essential for cultivators—truly a blessed land for them.

However, Chen Mo knew nothing about teleportation arrays. His master Ye Shang's transmission jade talisman didn't include any information on teleportation arrays in the section on array teaching. Therefore, he lacked knowledge about teleportation arrays.

If he could understand teleportation arrays, he would definitely build one here. Then, when he went out, he could be teleported directly here, and all the resources in the valley would belong to him alone.

Looking at the beehive in the distance and the lake behind him, Chen Mo was filled with emotion.

He sensed there was something good in the lake, but there was no time to go in now.

"Amo, it's time to go." Ouyang Ruoxi walked to Chen Mo's side and tugged at his sleeve.

“Okay.” He turned around, grasped Ouyang Ruoxi’s soft hand, and together they entered the defensive body.

Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Nana, along with Qian Zhenghao, were already in place, waiting for the two of them to come in so they could set off.

"Captain, since we're passing by the beehive this time, shouldn't we take this opportunity to get some more honey?"

Because Qian Zhenghao was present, Ouyang Nana didn't call her "Auntie," but addressed her by Ouyang Nan's title. These past few days, she'd been drinking honey during her cultivation sessions to aid her progress. As a result, her cultivation had accelerated dramatically, almost like riding a rocket, and her strength was visibly increasing rapidly.

She was originally at the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm, but after drinking three bottles of honey, her strength had advanced to the late stage. If she continued to use honey to aid her cultivation, her strength might reach the peak of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm in a short period of time.

This cultivation speed is several times, even ten times, faster than before; the effects of honey are truly amazing.

Upon hearing Ouyang Nana's words, everyone except Chen Mo looked at Ouyang Nana with burning eyes. Ouyang Ruoxi was no exception; her cultivation progress was the same as Ouyang Nana's, and perhaps even surpassed hers.

Because Ouyang Ruoxi's cultivation aptitude surpasses that of Ouyang Nana, her cultivation results over the past few days have naturally been much better. Hearing about making more honey, she was naturally eager to try.

Although Qian Zhenghao didn't say anything, his eyes were also shining; more honey would certainly be a good thing.

Ouyang Nan was speechless. If honey were so easy to obtain, why didn't those two old men, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing, collect it themselves? They only managed to get over a hundred bottles of honey by relying on the defensive structure and the cooperation of various personnel.

“You guys, honey harvesting is extremely dangerous. It’s absolutely impossible for just the few of us to harvest honey.” Although Ouyang Nan knew Chen Mo’s true strength, it was indeed impossible for the five of them to harvest honey.

There were simply too many red bees, especially when collecting honey. If they disturbed the red bees, none of the five of them could get back.

In truth, Ouyang Nan also coveted the Red Bee honey; its effects were simply too good. However, her strength didn't allow it, so she remained quite clear-headed.

After looking up at everyone, he finally looked at Chen Mo, thought for a moment, and then came to his side, asking in a low voice, "Amo, do you have any way to collect some honey? We've been consuming honey these past few days, and we're running low on it. If you have any good ideas or methods, please help us get some more honey."

Previously, Chen Mo had privately given some honey to the three of them to use, but there were only so many honey bottles, so Ouyang Nan thought that Chen Mo didn't have much either, which is why she had the idea of ​​collecting some more honey.

"Captain, this won't do, it's too dangerous, let's forget about it." Ouyang Ruoxi immediately shook her head and refused after hearing Ouyang Nan's words.

Ouyang Ruoxi had originally intended to get some honey, but considering the number and danger of the Red Bees and the First-Line Bees, she immediately became unwilling to let Chen Mo be put in danger.

Upon seeing this, Ouyang Nan could only shake her head with a smile, abandoning her desire to obtain some honey. However, Chen Mo patted Ouyang Ruoxi's soft back and said, "Captain, if you really want to collect some honey, it's simple. I have some things here that might come in handy."

"What is it?" Ouyang Nan asked in surprise. She really hadn't expected things to take such a turn for the better.

Chen Mo took out a porcelain bottle and said, "There are a few 'Attracting Beast Pills' in here, which can attract poisonous insects. I obtained them by chance. But I don't know if these 'Attracting Beast Pills' will work on the 'One-Line Red'. If they do, we can put the 'Attracting Beast Pills' aside and attract the 'One-Line Red' while we can collect some honey. But there are only a few 'Attracting Beast Pills', so it's impossible to collect more honey. We also need to see if the 'One-Line Red' will be attracted away."

The "Enticing Beast Pill" was an early type of elixir refined by Chen Mo, used to attract insects from the vegetable gardens in Calabash Valley, and of course, also many poisonous snakes. So, it was brought out this time so that Ouyang Nan and his group could get some more honey.

As for saying that their skills are limited, it's because they don't want to offer more and make people greedy.

After all, he couldn't easily produce more honey here, so he had to resort to this method, thinking that the Yinzhi Dan should also be able to attract Yixianhong away, so that he could collect some honey and help the women improve their strength.

As for the future, once he gets out, he can use the red bee honey inside the Qiankun Pearl to refine some pills and give them to Ouyang Ruoxi. This will also improve her strength, and no one will know that they are made from honey.

Chen Mo explained some of the characteristics of the Yinzhi Dan, and then talked to Ouyang Nan and others about how to attract the Yixianhong and how to take advantage of the gaps in the harvest to collect honey, etc.

Qian Zhenghao, who was among them, listened with his eyes shining. Fortunately, Chen Mo didn't mind the guy. Sharing some of the collected honey with him was no big deal; in his opinion, the honey wasn't that valuable anyway.

After discussing it, the group started collecting empty bottles to fill with honey later. Of course, this was all predicated on the luring pills working; otherwise, if the red spider lily wasn't attracted away, the honey wouldn't be collected.

Of course, an essential honey collector is also necessary. However, you can simply use whatever wood you have to make a simple separator. This way, you can quickly separate the honey during collection and bottle it.

The attracting pills couldn't be thrown out directly to lure the First-Line Red, since they would be devoured in a few bites and wouldn't take long. Therefore, Chen Mo found a relatively thick piece of wood, hollowed it out with his weapon, put in the attracting pills, and then made a few small holes for the pills to release their scent. Thus, something that could lure the First-Line Red was made.

Chen Mo also took the opportunity to hand some empty bottles he had to Ouyang Ruoxi. The group collected about thirty empty bottles, which meant each person received six bottles, a decent amount.

The defense system activated again, targeting the nearest hive.

Before even reaching the black soil area, when they were still several hundred meters away, they were attacked by the outer line of red projectiles. Fortunately, their numbers were relatively small, and the defensive structures were quite effective, so the losses were not significant.

But as they continued forward, the number of red lines surrounding the defensive structure increased. A constant crackling sound came from outside, the echoes of these red lines attacking.

"Continue." Following the agreement they had just discussed, Ouyang Nan continued heading towards the hive.

When they were about several dozen meters away, the defensive structure became parallel to the hive and began to move forward. They hadn't gone far when the line of red light outside increased. At this moment, Chen Mo spoke up, instructing everyone to activate their own blood and qi defenses. Then, Chen Mo opened the rear of the defensive structure and rushed out.

However, he carefully used his divine sense to move all the rushing red streaks aside, preventing them from entering the defensive structure.

Immediately, he threw several wooden balls containing the attracting spirit pills several dozen meters ahead. Then, he turned around and re-entered the defensive structure, heading back to the vicinity of the initial beehive to observe the situation of the red line outside.

The attractant pill was quite effective; the scent it emitted immediately drew all the nearby red bees away. If the red bees in the hive hadn't been resting, they might have been attracted as well.

Of course, because of the small number, Chen Mo didn't throw them too far, otherwise he wouldn't have attracted the red line near the defensive body.

"It worked!" Ouyang Nan and the others said happily as they heard the sounds of attacks outside the defense gradually disappear.

"Then let's do as we agreed before, hurry up and go to the beehive we planned to go, dig it up and collect the honey."

Immediately, the defensive structure moved forward again, charging towards the nearest beehive. Upon reaching it, it opened its rear again, revealing no red lines around the structure, prompting a collective cheer from the group.

"Quickly, collect the honey!"

After emerging from the defensive structure, Ouyang Nan stood guard nearby and whispered a warning. Chen Mo also stood on the other side as a guard. This was a decision made after prior discussion; the two of them, being the most capable, were assigned to guard against the Red Bee and the First Line of Defense.
