29. Enter the beehive
The beehive of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is built on the halfway of a peak attached to the Liuyun Peak of the outer gate, a large open field, divided into pieces of medicine fields, which are planted with all kinds of flowering elixirs, and a row of more than a dozen houses is built on one side of the medicine field, walking into the deacon office of the beehive, there is a deacon disciple in his forties who practices qi on the eighth floor, and when he saw Lin Xi, he asked: "Little junior sister, I am Pan Cheng, the deacon disciple of the beehive, and my senior sister has taken over the task of beekeeping." ”
"yes. Lin Xi replied and handed the identity jade plate to the deacon disciple.
Pan Cheng took the jade card and looked at it and said: "Senior Sister Lin, you must also know that there are three main kinds of spirit bees raised by our outer disciples, and the number and reward of each type of spirit honey are different, this is the specific task number and reward method, Senior Sister will take a look at it first, and decide what kind of spirit bee to raise before buying young bees." Of course, there is also the fact that in the first year, since the spirit bees have a young bee stage, the task is halved. ”
"Thank you, brother. Lin Xi took the jade slip.
Pan Cheng nodded and said: "Of course, the amount above is the minimum amount to be handed in, if the junior sister has a lot of spiritual honey, it can also be handed over to the sect, and the sect also has a reward for overcompleting the task." There are also royal jelly, beeswax, pollen, etc., which are also purchased by the sect, and the prices are marked in the deacon hall of the outer gate. ”
Lin Xi nodded to show that he understood, picked up the jade slip and pasted it on his forehead, and penetrated his mind into it, and saw that it was written the number of three kinds of spirit bees to hand over spiritual honey: the green wing bee is the lowest grade, the easiest to feed, the amount of honey is also more, and the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual honey is also the least, one hundred and fifty catties of spiritual honey must be handed over in a year, and the reward is three pieces of low-grade spirit stones per catty plus a bottle of medium-grade Qi Gathering Pill with fifty grains.
The iron-winged bee is not too difficult to raise, and the aura in the spiritual honey produced is much better than that of the green-winged bee, but the honey production is much less, so the iron-winged bee only needs to hand over one hundred catties a year, and the reward is five low-grade spirit stones per catty plus a bottle of fifty high-grade qi gathering pills.
And the king bee is the most difficult of the three kinds of spirit bees to feed, the spirit honey contains the most aura, although the amount of honey is a lot, but due to the difficulty of breeding, so only 50 catties of spirit honey need to be handed over a year, the reward of the task is 10 pieces per catty of lower grade spirit stones plus 50 grains of a bottle of medium-grade qi pill.
The following is the price of each type of young bee, with ten young bees as a unit, the green-winged bee has five lower-grade spirit stones for every ten of them, the iron-winged bee has ten lower-grade spirit stones for every ten of them, and the king bee has twenty lower-grade spirit stones for every ten of them. There are also hives, nectar for feeding young bees, pollen, beekeeping tools, etc., all with prices marked.
After reading it roughly, this is really not a simple matter to raise spirit bees? Lin Xi pulled his mind back and asked Pan Cheng: "Senior Brother Pan, this is the first time I have raised spirit bees, what tools do I usually have to buy, and how many young bees do I have to buy?"
Seeing Lin Xi asking, Pan Cheng also replied with a smile: "Senior Sister Lin, that's the case, generally a set of tools will be issued in the door of the first beekeeping, a hive, and ten green-winged bee larvae, these are all provided for free, and the others have to be purchased by themselves." ”
Lin Xi nodded in understanding, thought for a while and asked, "Then how many young bees are usually raised for the first time?"
"Senior Sister Lin, this spirit bee is not a universal bee, in addition to the nectar and pollen and other ordinary bees to eat, but also regularly feed some spirit stones, spiritual springs and other things containing spiritual energy, so the cost of breeding is not low, and this green-winged bee reproduces very quickly, most of the outer disciples are only raising ten young bees issued by the sect for the first time, of course, there are some good conditions at home, and they will buy another ten iron-winged bees to raise. ”
"In this case, no one buys king bees?" Lin Xi noticed that Pan Cheng was just talking about iron-winged bees, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Senior Sister Lin is joking, how can this king bee be so easy to raise? Pan Cheng replied with a smile.
"So, then I'll buy ten iron-winged bees to keep them. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Buy another beehive, and a bottle of nectar." "It's impossible to keep both the iron-winged bee and the green-winged bee distributed by the door in the same hive.
Pan Cheng nodded understandingly, took out the tools distributed by the door and Lin Xi's own purchase, young bees and other things and put them on the table, Lin Xi accepted the things and paid the spirit stones.
Pan Cheng introduced to Lin Xi again: "Senior Sister Lin, there is a bamboo hut in the bamboo forest behind here, and Senior Sister can find a room to live there to take care of the spirit bees." After all, the outer dormitory is still quite far from here, and it is a waste of time to go back and forth. ”
"Thank you, brother. Lin Xi also felt that it was better to live here, so he thanked Pan Cheng and left the deacon's office and walked to the back.
Bypassing the house, I saw a large bamboo forest, and when I walked into the bamboo forest, I saw some beehives hanging in the forest, and there were also swarms of flying bees in and out of the ** honey making ......
Go further and see the bamboo house that Pan Cheng said, a large area of dozens of rooms, not exquisite, two bamboo houses for the first one, a small yard with a bamboo fence in front of the door, the distance between the two buildings is not too close, to ensure that the private space is not disturbed. It looks very quiet, Lin Xi approached and saw that every bamboo house was engraved with a prohibition, some bamboo houses had closed doors, and through the bamboo fence, you could also see some spiritual plants planted in the small courtyard, which was obviously inhabited. Secretly swept it with his divine sense, most of the houses were empty, and now it is the flowering period of the purple locust flowers, presumably they all went to the purple locust forest in the back mountain to release bees.
Lin Xi turned around, and found that there were really few people in this beehive, dozens of bamboo houses, and only a dozen were inhabited, and the rest were all empty, and the few people made Lin Xi very satisfied, and she was a little less dangerous in the space in and out of the space in the future, so she casually found a remote empty house and walked in, there was only a table, a chair and a bamboo couch in the main house, which was very simple, and the other room was completely vacant, and the house was carved with a dust-proof array, and it was spotless everywhere, Lin Xi took out the bedding and other supplies brought from Cangzhou City from the storage bracelet and laid it first.
Seeing that there was no one around, he closed the door of the house and opened the prohibition, set up the defensive formation, thought for a while and took out his father's high-level defensive array to set it up, and then entered the space with confidence, Lin Xi walked straight into Meilin, came to the Qingyu Spring, and looked at the spirit beast eggs that were soaked in the spring water without any movement.
sighed helplessly, took out the jade bottle and beat a few bottles of spiritual spring water. Without stopping any longer, he went directly through the cave to the osmanthus forest in the back mountain, and installed the two hives containing the larvae of the green-winged bee and the iron-winged bee in the osmanthus forest, took out the nectar and fed it a little, filled a small bowl with a little spiritual spring, and took out a few spiritual stones and put them together in the hive.
Then Lin Xi cut down some spiritual bamboo in the bamboo forest and put it in a storage bag, and returned to the bamboo house by the stream, the five jade bamboos that were planted at the beginning have grown to more than a thousand years after more than three years, with the blessing of space one day and one year, each one has grown nearly five meters high, and they have grown more than a dozen seeds, looking at the seeds that are surging with green aura all over the body, Lin Xi's heart is happy, these ten seeds each, five is fifty seeds, and planting is fifty jade bamboos......
Taking a deep breath to calm his excitement, Lin Xi picked all the seeds, leaving only ten to be planted by the stream, and the rest were put into a jade box and put into a storage bracelet.
took out a small bottle of poplar branch dew and poured it on the stream, and then took care of the medicine field on one side, put away the mature and low-grade elixir, and planted some more in the open field.
