Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 639: Chapter 366 Intelligence

“Brother Qi, you must not take action in the short term; the potent venom of the Muyang Bee King has done considerable harm to your body!” Li Yuanba supported Brother Qi Jin and cautioned.

When Brother Qi Jin was poisoned, he had examined his injuries with Divine Thought.

“I will do my best to repay the Detoxification Pill!” Brother Qi Jin earnestly promised.

He knew the difficulty of obtaining a Third-Grade Top Detoxification Pill, but he still made the promise.

If he had any intention of attempting to ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage, then he must ensure his mindset was pure before the ascension. Owing Li Yuanba such a massive favor, although his life-saving grace could be remembered, the clearly life-saving Third-Grade Top Detoxification Pill must be repaid.

“Alas, our mission has failed!” Jiang Pu, unaware of the pill’s grade, wasn’t concerned about the Detoxification Pill mentioned by Brother Qi Jin and spoke with regret.

In his view, repaying a Third Grade Detoxification Pill wasn’t much of a challenge for Brother Qi Jin.

“Although the mission has failed, we have obtained intelligence on the appearance of a Third Grade Bee Queen among the Muyang Bee swarm. The reward for the information will not be less than what would have been awarded for completing the mission!” Brother Qi Jin shook his head as he spoke.

He felt extremely regretful; having just overcome the Golden Moon Fierce Bear that had reached the prowess of a Late Stage Demon and secured the rights to the Third Grade Bee Royal Jelly, he missed out on the jelly due to the unexpected appearance of the Third Grade Bee Queen.

As for the appearance of the Third Grade Muyang Bee King, the Senluo Sect would definitely handle the matter well.

Despite the formidable attack power of the Third Grade Muyang Bee King, after all, it was just a Third Grade realm. Based on the intelligence they brought back, the Senluo Sect could re-arrange this Third Grade resource site.

The more pressing concern was whether, without Li Yuanba’s assistance next time, how would he be able to defeat the Golden Moon Fierce Bear?

“The mission hasn’t failed; I snatched the Third Grade Bee Royal Jelly from the beehive when I left!” Li Yuanba smiled as he produced a jade box.

Although the Third Grade Bee Royal Jelly was precious, since it was a resource of the sect, he would not, and could not, keep it for personal use.

Afterwards, the sect would undoubtedly send cultivators to investigate, and they would learn that the Third Grade Bee Royal Jelly had been harvested.

“Junior Li, what a move!” Brother Qi Jin genuinely admired.

Under the attack of the Muyang Bee King, still managing to calmly take the Third Grade Bee Royal Jelly was a feat beyond his ability.

“Brother, please keep the Bee Royal Jelly!” Li Yuanba passed it over as he said.

“All of the mission rewards belong to Junior Li, Jiang and I accept this with some embarrassment!” Brother Qi Jin received the jade box and replied.

“Yes, Junior Li, I’m too ashamed to partake in the division of the mission rewards!” Jiang Pu added, nodding in agreement.

Brother Qi Jin was better off; at least he had taken action, whereas Jiang Pu’s only contribution was guiding Li Yuanba.

If it weren’t for Li Yuanba blocking the Muyang Bee King’s attack and staying behind to cover Jiang Pu’s retreat, he might well have perished in the valley.

Li Yuanba didn’t try to argue; since both brothers had expressed their wishes, he simply went along with them.

“Indeed, the quality of this Bee Royal Jelly is approaching the Fourth Grade; it seems that this resource site may no longer be within the reach of Golden Core cultivators!” Brother Qi Jin opened the jade box and, after inspecting the Third Grade Bee Royal Jelly, commented.

Although the Bee Royal Jelly was still Third Grade, its quality was nearing Fourth Grade.

Should the Muyang Bee King’s strength increase a bit more, there was a high probability it could refine the honey into Fourth Grade Bee Royal Jelly.

This piece of intelligence alone made their gains surpass the mission’s initial rewards.

“A Fourth Grade resource site; seems like the sect will have to renegotiate with the Spirit Beast Clan!” Jiang Pu exclaimed in awe.

“It’s out of our hands; the output of a Fourth Grade resource will take longer and requires long-term observation to confirm. Given the strength of the Muyang Bee King, it’s likely that one of the sect’s Nascent Soul Ancestors will need to personally intervene!” Brother Qi Jin shook his head and stated.

Neither of them had expected that a simple collection mission would end up revealing a site potentially harboring Fourth Grade resources.

Ignoring his own injuries, Brother Qi Jin accelerated his flying speed.

He wasn’t worried about his safety; with a cultivator of Li Yuanba’s strength accompanying him, as long as there were no appearances by beings of the Great Elder Level or Nascent Soul Stage, he would be safe.

Once they reached the Zheng’an Mountain Range, they could directly contact the sect from there.

Although they couldn’t use the Senluo Sect’s Identity Jade Disc to communicate in the area around the valley, they were able to use the Beishu Trading Company’s communication plaques to contact the sect.

But Brother Qi Jin hadn’t done so; using the Beishu Trading Company’s plaque was not confidential.

The discovery of a Fourth Grade resource site, once leaked, might draw covetous eyes from other large sects and forces possessing Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Brother Qi Jin took out his Identity Jade Disc and reported their findings to the sect.

“Junior Li, Jiang, please rest here for a while. The sect has been notified and is informing the Ancestor. We might need to wait for the Ancestor’s summons!” After ending the communication, Brother Qi Jin spoke to Li Yuanba and Jiang Pu.

“Then we’ll be troubling you, Brother Qi!” Jiang Pu said with a smile, and Li Yuanba also nodded in agreement without any objection.

The exterior of Brother Qi Jin’s cave dwelling appeared quite ordinary, carved out from a cliff face.

Upon entering the main hall of the dwelling, Li Yuanba sensed the richness of the Spiritual Energy, which was close to that of a Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein.

If not for the close proximity of the Zheng’an Mountain Range to the territory of the Spirit Beast Clan, the Spirit Vein alone would attract a large number of Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators.
