Ch 150: The Queen Bee On The Verge Of Transforming Into A Spirit Insect
Ordinary bees’ wings are transparent, with some black grid-like veins on them.
This Queen Bee’s size alone looks unusual; her wings also have specks of reddish gold, particularly beautiful.
It’s estimated that after this winter, it will be able to transform into a Spirit Insect.
Spirit Insects are a type of Spiritual Beast, and don’t underestimate bees because of their small size; their abilities are considerable.
One point is very good for Shen Zhiyin: the Spirit Honey brewed by Spirit Bees is also a kind of treasure.
The honey harvested now relies on the spiritual energy in plants mixed in; it’s just that the grade is much higher than ordinary honey, but it doesn’t count as Spirit Honey.
Only honey brewed by Spirit Bees truly counts as Spirit Honey.
Moreover, bees have a characteristic: after the Queen Bee transforms into a Spirit Insect, all the bees in the entire beehive will be affected and gradually transform into ordinary Spirit Insects.
This Queen Bee truly gave Shen Zhiyin a surprise.
She took out some Spirit Nourishing Pills and gave them to it.
And Qingyu Pills refined from Green Jade Lotus, which helps its bloodline improve and its transformation become more perfect.
“Whether we can eat Spirit Honey in the future depends on you, come on.”
After circulating a small cycle of spiritual energy in its body, the Queen Bee circled Shen Zhiyin, buzzing as if in gratitude.
After the two of them climbed down the tree, Shen Muyan asked her, “Is there anything different about Grandaunt’s bee?”
Shen Zhiyin told them about the Queen Bee’s imminent transformation into a Spirit Insect.
At the same time, she also explained the benefits of Spirit Honey. Spirit Wine brewed with Spirit Honey can prolong life, although for cultivators, that life-extending function is negligible.
But for ordinary people, even a little will be wildly sought after.
Once, when she went to the human world, she saw an auction where a little Spirit Honey was fiercely competed for by wealthy and powerful people from all over the world, and even several robbery murder cases occurred because of it.
This world is lacking in spiritual energy; since she was reborn into this world, the total number of Spiritual Beasts she has seen is only a handful.
I heard that the Special Management Bureau and those Cultivator Sects are also searching the world for Spiritual Beasts.
Qin Zhen’s contracted Elder Rat was also coveted by a Cultivator Sect before, who wanted to buy it at a high price.
Fortunately, Qin Zhen entered the Special Management Bureau and was protected, so those Cultivator Sects gave up their covetous intentions.
If they knew that there were two Spiritual Beasts around them now, the Shen Family wouldn’t have peace.
Tsk… I need to set up a formation in the Shen Family.
The three of them carried a large bucket of beehives back to the villa and started to get busy.
First, get the honey out; the beehives won’t be wasted either; making them into beeswax also has many uses.
Not to mention, adding a little to candles will make even ghosts smell dizzy.
The transparent amber color has the unique fragrance of various flowers.
Although the beehives took up most of the space, the honey squeezed out also filled a small half bucket.
Honey is heavier than water; it’s estimated to be about sixty kilograms.
“It smells so good.”
Shen Muyan couldn’t wait to scoop some with a spoon and put it in his mouth.
Although this honey is very sweet, it’s a kind of light sweetness with the fragrance of herbs and trees.
When these bees collected honey, they mixed it with the nectar of Spirit Plants, so the brewed honey also retains some spiritual energy.
Shen Zhiyin slapped away the spoon that her nephew reached out again.
“Bottle it first, then use the rest to make honey water; you’ll be full for several meals if you eat like this.”
They filled about twelve 5-jin bottles, and about three jin remained.
Shen Zhiyin planned to use some to brew wine, and divide the rest fairly, lest some people be greedy and don’t know moderation.
The butler used the remaining honey to make a lot of honey water, without adding anything else.
Unexpectedly, this simple honey water received unanimous praise.
After drinking a large mouthful, Shen Muyan sighed, “I will never dislike those bees being noisy again.”
Then, hugging his own bottle of honey, he had to save this little jar.
The butler also received a jar; his good mood was visible.
This honey is indeed a good thing.
Including those for Master and Qin Zhen’s family, a total of eight jars of honey were distributed; Shen Zhiyin planned to use the remaining four jars to brew wine.
Giving some to Qin Zhen’s family was mainly because their relationship was good, and they had bought many things from her, so it was also considered a gift for the Elder Rat.
Anyway, they would definitely give some to the Elder Rat after taking it back.
After the distribution, Shen Zhiyin sent them to brew wine.
The ingredients were those grapes and honey; they were all fresh.
…………
Shen Kuan carried a basket of fruit to the company. After the meeting, he was tired and wanted to drink coffee, but seeing the fruit, he hesitated; he’d eat fruit instead.
As soon as he opened the fruit basket, there was a knock on the door.
“Boss, the clients from Europe are here.”
Shen Kuan: “Let them in.”
Several foreigners walked in, greeted Shen Kuan with smiles, and after a short chat, they began to discuss the cooperation project.
During this time, Shen Kuan also asked the secretary to arrange the fruit on the table to entertain these clients.
Let’s say, the freshly picked fruit was very appetizing just by looking at it.
Shen Kuan’s business partner was easygoing; he picked a grape and started to eat it.
Then he was truly amazed by the taste of the grape.
Felks’s eyes widened instantly: “Shen, your grapes not only look delicious, but taste even better!”
He was a foodie, and his requirements for food were rather strict; the vegetables and fruits he usually ate were specially supplied.
He had eaten many expensive fruits, but these grapes truly amazed him today.
So he forgot about discussing the cooperation and tasted a strawberry, a blueberry, and even a cherry tomato.
Each one was delicious.
Shen Kuan smiled: “The taste is pretty good, right? An elder in my family grew them.”
“Too delicious! Every taste exceeded my expectations. Shen, that elder in your family is amazing.”
The topic immediately shifted to food; his secretary coughed several times.
Felks shrugged: “Okay, before we talk business, I want to ask, Shen, do you have more of these fruits? Please, I have no resistance to delicious things.”
Shen Kuan didn’t immediately agree: “If Mr. Felks likes them, I will ask the elder.”
Felks exclaimed joyfully: “That’s great, Shen! I wish us a pleasant cooperation in the future.”
Secretary: “…Sir, you haven’t gone to discuss with the He family yet.”
Felks said: “The Shen Family’s reputation in the business world is very good, and I think the plans and materials they prepared are quite good; other things can be discussed slowly.”
In the following discussion, most of the fruits went into Felks’s mouth, and the cooperation proceeded smoothly.
After sending Felks away, Shen Kuan twitched his mouth.
The Special Assistant was also speechless: “Boss, I didn’t expect Mr. Felks to be a foodie.”
Shen Kuan felt both amused and helpless, and said: “That’s because he has the capital to be capricious.”
Felks’s family has a profound background; he himself is a much-loved young master; making concessions in this cooperation project with the Shen Family is harmless to him; moreover, the plans they presented are beneficial to both sides.
Felks, although somewhat willful, is not stupid; how could he really have reached a tens of billions cooperation because of some fruit?
The fruit simply added some goodwill.
But don’t underestimate this goodwill; in the business world, sometimes a person’s senses can also play a crucial role.
