Chapter 20: Silver Leaf Honeybee Hive
Hed cleaned up most of the mess at the bottom of the canyon, but now it was all inside the storage ring and there was plenty of organizing to do. The most he could do inside the ring was moving things around so he couldnt really put the shelves back together, but he was free to sort through the mess. He hadnt had the chance to go through everything yet, having only done a cursory sweep when he first got the ring. Those three months in the ancestors tomb were spent studying the true Insect Immortal Index.
The Silverbee continued its flight while Sage sorted the large pile, having just stacked up the whole mess when cleaning up the canyon bottom. As he picked things up, hed sort it to new piles and as he did he started to learn just what sorts of things were in this collection he had been gifted. For the most part, he realized the pill cabinet was a good indicator of the objects in this storage ring. It seemed set up for a new cultivator specifically, like the Great Ancestor had planned for just this sort of thing.
Books. Tons of them, and they were all introductory books and they seemed aimed towards the many side jobs that cultivators had. Reading the titles he sorted them into stacks based on each profession. Alchemists, the pill refiners. Blacksmiths, the ones that forge weapons and tools. Formation Masters, they create and work with array formations. Weavers and Tailors, create textiles and other soft goods. Chefs, that work with Spirit Plants, Spirit Animals, and Demonic Beasts to cook their parts into special foods. Minstrels, that use their voice or instruments infused with qi to affect people. This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
Those were the main paths, there was also another book that listed a bunch of supporting professions. Like Farmers, Miners, Butchers, Scribes, Hunters, Tamers, and many others. Mostly consisting of a handful of specialized techniques rather than things that whole sects and clans would dedicate themselves too like the main professions. For example an Alchemy Sect would also have Farmers among their disciples to rapidly grow Spirit Plants for their pill making.
Unfortunately, for the native Queen, the battle was over quickly. Sages Silverbee had been matured to a higher quality of Spirit Insect than the native bee and its venom was much stronger. The Silverbee also had a much tougher exoskeleton and only half of the original Queens stings were successful in penetrating it. With the battle over, the Silverbee began to emit different scent signals, establishing itself as the new ruler. Wow, and just like that, Ive got a whole Silverbee colony.
Surprised at the simplicity of things, Sage had the Silverbee fly back out of the hive and land on a large branch of the tree. Very carefully, he exited the Silverbees internal space and with its help he drew in the whole beehive into his own internal space. Some damage being done, but they would repair it in time. Sages dantian and meridians now getting partially filled with Silverbees. After finding a good spot in the shade, he let the new Queen have some time to head inside and make sure everything was under control. Taking the opportunity to learn more about how the bees operated and what his Silverbee Queen did to control and organize them all.
Pulling out a material identifying book, Sage looked up the effects of the Moon Honey and smiled with satisfaction. Even happy enough to talk to himself, Seems I chose right. This stuff is a treasure, I just have to figure out how to grow moon flowers now.
Moon Honey. It looks like translucent mercury. A silver honey that is refined by the Silver Leaf Honeybee. They collect the nectar of Spirit Plants that bloom under the moonlight, most notably the Silver Leaf Flower. Moon Honey is very malleable and changeable, and besides being used in many pill formulas and magic tools, it has its own special unique property. It can absorb the qualities of any qi it remains in contact with for a long period. Leave it near a volcano and it will slowly transform to contain a fire based qi. The other major property is the ease of use, merely consuming it will transfer over the qi just like a pill requiring no refining, much more convenient than a Spirit Stone or Spirit Jade.
Sage already had the true version of Qi Feeding, so he didnt really need the Moon Honey to infuse elemental, or other special, qi into his Spirit Insects. The main reason he was so excited is with the Moon Honey being within his meridians he had many ideas on how it might be used. Would there be a way for him to change his Qi into different elements whenever he liked? Hah, probably just a pipe dream but one worth exploring. When I saw the power of the true Merge I had so many ideas. I cant wait to try them all out. The power of a whole colony working inside the meridians has got to be amazing, I just have to figure out how to use them properly.
