Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 638: Chapter 365: Hive_2

Li Yuanba, seeing that the situation was dire, immediately took out a Third Grade Detoxification Pill and placed it in Brother Qi’s mouth.

This was a Spirit Pill prepared by Li Shiming’s original self for his clone. The Third Grade Detoxification Pill, being a top-grade Third-Grade Spirit Pill, naturally achieved the pinnacle of detoxification effects for its grade.

In theory, as long as the poison was of the third grade, this top detoxification pill would eradicate the poison upon contact.

Brother Qi spit out several mouthfuls of black blood. His complexion quickly began to recover, and the wound on his right arm also stabilized.

Once the poison had dissipated, such injury was insignificant for a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator.

While Li Yuanba was treating Brother Qi, he also kept an eye on the beehive.

The attack had been too fast, even he, unprepared for such an abrupt assault, would have found it difficult to dodge.

Just as he had taken out the top-grade detoxification pill for Brother Qi to ingest, a gap appeared in part of the beehive within the formation, and a Muyang Bee about the size of a palm flew out and charged toward him.

“The Muyang Bee King has advanced to the third grade!” With no obstruction from the beehive, Li Yuanba sensed the aura of the Muyang Bee King—it was a third-grade Muyang Bee King.

Brother Qi had said that the Muyang Bee King was only second-grade. It was not easy for spiritual bees to break through the constraints of their species; who knew what kind of opportunity this Muyang Bee King had encountered to advance to the third grade.

“Take Brother Qi and leave first!” Li Yuanba said to Jiang Pu as he tossed Brother Qi toward him.

At the same time, a Third Grade Sword Base appeared in his hands, which he positioned in front of him. Almost simultaneously, the Muyang Bee King’s tail stinger shot out.

Had he not used “Divine Sight Skill” and “Telepathy” in advance to detect the attack direction of the Muyang Bee King, this sting might have hit him as well.

“Divine Sight Skill” allowed him to clearly see the Muyang Bee King’s swift flight, and “Telepathy” was even more useful. The Muyang Bee King had almost no defense against “Telepathy”, allowing him to sense the Muyang Bee King’s intention to attack through it.

Just when Li Yuanba thought he had blocked the attack of the Muyang Bee King, he saw the tail needle pierce the Third Grade Sword Base, creating a small hole in it.

The Third Grade Sword Base had actually been pierced. It should be noted that the Third Grade Sword Base, having been fortified by the influence of Li Yuanba’s Body Refinement and the Sword Demon Secret Manual, had been strengthened to the limit of a Third Grade Top-Grade Magical Treasure.

Although the Third Grade Sword Base was not a defensive treasure, as a close combat magical treasure, its robustness was comparable to defensive treasures of the same grade.

Fortunately, with the Third Grade Sword Base blocking, although the tail needle of the Muyang Bee King pierced through it, it did not continue to reach Li Yuanba’s body.

Jiang Pu, while escaping with Brother Qi, also sensed the battle between Li Yuanba and the Muyang Bee King.

Seeing that the Muyang Bee King’s stinger had pierced through Li Yuanba’s longsword treasure in one strike, he completely lost any idea of staying to help.

He knew very well that staying would only add trouble for Li Yuanba.

The attack of the Muyang Bee King was too terrifying; he had no capability to survive an attack from it.

Li Yuanba was shocked. He looked at the small hole in the Third Grade Sword Base in his hand but was not worried about it being damaged.

The Third Grade Sword Base existed in the form of energy within his body. This damage would be repaired by returning inside his body and undergoing the restoration by the Sword Demon Secret Manual, after which it would emerge as a perfect Third Grade Sword Base again.

He was concerned that his defenses might not withstand the attack of the Muyang Bee King’s stinger. Even if his “Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique” had nearly reached the perfect level in the Golden Core chapter, he was not certain it would block a strike from the Muyang Bee King’s stinger.

No matter how powerful his “Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique” was, it could not compare to the Third Grade Sword Base in hardness, at least not during the Golden Core Stage.

Li Yuanba roared loudly, his Supreme Yang Sword Intent erupting, transforming into countless needle-like Sword Intent swords that shot toward the Muyang Bee King.

The defensive power of the Muyang Bee King was obviously not as strong as its offensive power. Upon encountering the countless attacks of Supreme Yang Sword Intent, it exhibited extreme speed and dodged all of Li Yuanba’s attacks.

At this moment, Li Yuanba sensed that Jiang Pu had taken Brother Qi out of the path and had exited the formation of the valley.

He could not help but relax, a white lotus rising under his feet, subsequently, his figure disappeared, and when he appeared again, he was already at the breach in the beehive.

A Divine Thought entered, digging out a large chunk of bee royal jelly. He did not take all of it but left a portion behind.

The Muyang Bee King, upon noticing Li Yuanba’s actions, emitted a piercing buzzing sound. Its speed increased once again, making it almost impossible to see its figure as it flew towards Li Yuanba.

Unfortunately, in the face of the unreasonable Divine Skill “Step by Step Lotus”, even the fastest speed could not match the space movement of the Divine Foot Skill.

Li Yuanba’s figure flashed continuously, widening the distance from the Muyang Bee King.

As he was about to leave the valley’s Formation, he switched to Sword Escape.

The Muyang Bee King flew to the edge of the valley’s Formation and did not chase out of the Formation. Clearly, the importance of the bee royal jelly was secondary to the Muyang Bee Colony. It would not stray too far from the Muyang Bees.

In fact, over the years, the Muyang Bee King had gotten used to having its bee royal jelly stolen.

However, this time, after advancing to a Third Grade, its wisdom had greatly improved and it discovered the flaw within the beehive.

Furthermore, Brother Qi Jin’s actions were not at all concealed. Brother Qi Jin had placed too much trust in the Formation previously set by the sect. The Formation, which targeted the Second Grade Muyang Bee King, was far less effective on the Third Grade Muyang Bee King.

Seeing that the Muyang Bee King did not chase after him, Li Yuanba breathed a sigh of relief.

Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to reveal that he had mastered the basics of the Divine Skill “Step by Step Lotus”.

“How is Brother Qi doing?” Li Yuanba asked as he saw Jiang Pu still supporting Brother Qi Jin.

Jiang Pu took out a defensive magical treasure and placed it in front of him, carefully observing the valley. He believed in Li Yuanba’s strength. Plus, considering Brother Qi Jin’s condition, he thought it safer to wait and leave with Li Yuanba than to go ahead on his own.

“Brother Qi’s poison has been cured, but the poison has significantly affected his soul, and he hasn’t woken up yet!” Jiang Pu had already checked Brother Qi Jin’s injuries and immediately replied to Li Yuanba’s question.

At this moment, the Golden Moon Fierce Bear appeared and, seeing Brother Qi Jin’s miserable state, could not help but burst out laughing.

The Golden Moon Fierce Bear looked just like a giant bear, and such human-like laughter always seemed odd.

It did not attack Jiang Pu and Brother Qi Jin. Its earlier concession meant it could not interfere with the Senluo Sect Golden Core cultivators’ resource gathering this time.

The relationships between the Senluo Sect and the Spirit Beast Clan were very special; they coexisted in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, sharing the abundant resources of the mountains.

“Move aside, or I’ll beat you up again!” Li Yuanba glared and said sternly.

The laughter of the Golden Moon Fierce Bear faltered, and it looked at Li Yuanba with some fear before retreating as a streak of golden light.

The Great Demon did not take being defeated too seriously, as human cultivators always relied on external objects to fight, so the Great Demon could always convince itself.

Yet, Li Yuanba’s fight with the Golden Moon Fierce Bear was different. Li Yuanba endured the onslaught with his body, which caused the Golden Moon Fierce Bear to hold him in awe.

“Phew!” Brother Qi Jin exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes.

In fact, he had not been deeply unconscious; the effect of Li Yuanba’s Third-Grade Top Detoxification Pill was too potent, having cured the deadly poison before it could completely ravage his soul.

“Junior Li, thank you!” Brother Qi Jin struggled free from Jiang Pu’s support and bowed deeply to Li Yuanba.

He was keenly aware of the value of the Third Grade Detoxification Pill Li Yuanba had used to save him.

That Third-Grade Top Detoxification Pill alone was worth almost as much as a hundred pills of the same tier, an exchange no cultivator would make.

Such a Third-Grade Top Detoxification Pill was so rare that even an Alchemy Master might not be able to produce a few in a lifetime, with even fewer falling into the hands of cultivators.
