Chapter 329

After giving the jade slip, Lin Zhangqing ignored them; he still had to go see his three little Earth Armored Beasts!

Half a year later, the three little Earth Armored Beasts had grown quite a bit, and they were incredibly excited when they saw Lin Zhangqing.

They immediately surrounded him and made their unique calls at him. As soon as he heard this sound, he knew they were still the same as before, wanting to ask him for food.

Seeing them like this, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but laugh, but he still found a suitable place, took out demon beast meat, cut it into small pieces, and fed it to them.

Then he communicated with Lin Zhangliu in his mind, telling him he wanted to go to the mine cave and asking him to help send him over.

He had to send these three little guys back to the mine cave; he had already seen it just now! The pile of Yellow Earth Crystal ore he had prepared for the future Purple Crystal Scorpion larvae had already decreased by about a third in half a year.

Earth Armored Beasts were indeed not something ordinary cultivators could afford to raise; it was better to put them back in the mine cave and let them wreak havoc there!

He wouldn't feel heartache if they wreaked havoc on a mine vein that hadn't been brought into the inner space, but he couldn't allow it for the ones he had specially brought in! This time, Lin Zhangqing's advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage also fed back a portion of magical power to Lin Zhangliu, but this amount was better than nothing for him.

Soon, Lin Zhangqing received a response in his mind, knowing he had arrived at the mine cave. Afterward, he fed each of the three little guys a Spirit Nurturing Pill and then put them into the spirit beast bracelet.

Then he exited the inner space and appeared directly in the mine cave.

He hadn't been here for more than half a year, and he didn't know if any new demon beasts had broken in, so just in case.

Lin Zhangqing checked the entire mine cave with his divine sense again, and after confirming it was safe, he released the three little guys.

Suddenly back in a familiar place, they were still very excited and immediately ran to the mine wall and started digging.

Lin Zhangqing stood behind them, watching them perform. With one claw, a piece of ore fell off, and then three clear claw marks were left on the mine wall.

It felt like they were digging for ore just like cutting vegetables; in a short while, they had dug out quite a bit of ore.

Then they stopped, dug out the parts containing Yellow Earth Crystals with their claws, and then with a flick of their tongues, the Yellow Earth Crystals disappeared.

The whole process was very skillful and fast; no wonder they could consume so much ore in his inner space in a short time.

After watching for a while, Lin Zhangqing communicated with them through the contract, telling them to stay here, and after getting a positive response from the three little guys.

He left some demon beast meat for them in a corner of the mine cave so he could come back after a longer time, and then Lin Zhangqing returned to the inner space.

He hadn't seen the bee queen for so long, so he had to go see her to be at ease.

Walking to the tree where the beehive used to hang, Lin Zhangqing was given a big fright; the beehive had expanded by four or five times, and looking at the diameter, it was over four feet, close to five feet.

It was a proper giant nest; one could see that just near the entrance and exit of the beehive, there were already one or two hundred Yellow Jade Bees going in and out.

With a thought, he hurriedly summoned the bee queen, and soon this guy with short wings and a big butt came out in front of Lin Zhangqing and started dancing the bee dance.

However, Lin Zhangqing didn't like watching her act weird; what was there to see about flying around? He directly stretched out his hand to let her land on his palm.

He discovered that after half a year, the bee queen seemed to have grown a bit, but after sensing it slightly, she was still at the late stage of the first rank. He started communicating with the bee queen, asking her why the beehive had become so big.

The meaning the bee queen conveyed back was that the scale of the bee colony had expanded several times compared to before, and now the colony had nearly a thousand Yellow Jade Bees.

Lin Zhangqing was a bit surprised; could the flowers opened by the spirit medicines and spirit plants in the inner space, plus those fifty mu of flowers, really support so many Yellow Jade Bees? He conveyed this question in his heart through the runes in his sea of consciousness to Zhao Liyu.

Soon, Zhao Liyu and Xu Meiniang both rushed over, and Zhao Liyu spoke to resolve Lin Zhangqing's doubt: "Master, the situation is like this."

"We saw that there was still a lot of wasteland in the inner space, and we didn't have the ability to plant spirit plants on them."

"So we simply scattered the collected flower seeds randomly in a general area to see if they could survive."

"Unexpectedly, not long after, they sprouted everywhere. I estimate that area has at least two or three hundred mu, and now it is full of flowers, which is also the main reason that can support the expansion of the bee colony."

Hearing this, he knew what was going on, but this could also be considered a happy accident. Lin Zhangqing even specially flew over there to take a look.

Because the flower seeds were scattered randomly, the growth was also in clusters here and there, but walking through it, it still had quite a mood, but it was still far worse than the Heavenly Fragrance Valley in the Ziyang Secret Realm.

However, Lin Zhangqing was already very satisfied; anyway, leaving these wastelands empty was a waste, so it was just making use of waste.

Besides, if he wanted to plant spirit medicines or spirit plants in the future, he could move these flowers away or even pull them out.

Lin Zhangqing specially instructed Zhao Liyu and the other to do the same in the future, and along this area, create a large flower field of about a thousand mu.

Seeing that Lin Zhangqing liked it, Zhao Liyu and Xu Meiniang hurriedly agreed, promising to collect flower seeds whenever they had time and complete the task Lin Zhangqing had given them as soon as possible.

Afterward, Lin Zhangqing returned to the bee queen's place and gave her the order to cultivate a new generation of bee queens and prepare to split the nest.

After receiving the order, the bee queen was very reluctant, but she still had no way to disobey Lin Zhangqing's order.

In the end, she agreed and fed back to Lin Zhangqing that cultivating a new generation of bee queens would take about a month.

Lin Zhangqing agreed immediately; at the time he bought the Yellow Jade Bees, his younger sister and Lin Changlian knew about it.

Now that the Yellow Jade Bee colony was so large, it was just right to split off two or three hundred spirit bees to take to Aoyun Peak to raise, so he could get some honey for his younger sister in the future.

Seeing that there was nothing else, he was just about to exit the inner space when he suddenly remembered that he didn't have a single hundred-year vermilion fruit in his storage bag.

So he returned to the courtyard, to the room where the spoils and spirit fruits were stored, and specially counted the inventory of vermilion fruits, finding that there were 1,260 in total.

Thinking for a moment, he took out a jade box and put 36 in it.

He also separated 600, found five large jade boxes, put 120 vermilion fruits in each box, and then specially pasted spirit-sealing talismans on them, which could preserve them for a while.
