Putting away the book, just as a Gold-Devouring Spirit Bee flew past him, he caught it with a swift motion.

"Hmm? It seems to have grown larger?"

Zhou Changwang examined the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bee in his hand. It was chubby; even though its shell was still very hard, it had a robust and plump appearance.

Not only was it plumper, but vaguely, he could also sense its aura was much stronger than before.

He casually cast a Calming Technique.

Amidst the haze, he perceived some thoughts from the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bee.

’So full, I need to digest, still want to eat, must eat...’

He let the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bee fly free and looked towards the beehive.

He immediately noticed there were more offspring bees.

Originally, there were only twenty-four young Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees left after the last Insect King attack. Including the one just now, there were exactly forty, nearly double the previous number.

Moreover, many of the young bees were much plumper than before, and one or two of them were even one or two times larger.

Have they advanced?

From ordinary Spirit Bees, did they evolve into Initial-Tier First Grade Spirit Bees?

He quickly approached.

On the ground were piles of various Spirit Insect corpses, leftovers from the last battle.

He used them as food for these Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees, and now, half had already been devoured. In addition, he had many more preserved specially inside his Spirit Beast Bag.

He estimated it was enough food for these Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees for half a year.

Then, he focused on the beehive.

First, the mother bee, which had nearly doubled in size, yet had not advanced, still equivalent to the First-Layer Qi Cultivation.

But those two young bees, which had grown more than double in size, had indeed advanced to the Initial First Grade Level, equivalent to the First-Layer Qi Cultivation.

As for the other young bees, although they hadn’t reached the Initial First Grade Level, each one’s aura was more fierce and turbulent than before, and their combat effectiveness had greatly increased.

"This batch of Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees now possesses initial combat capabilities."

Zhou Changwang was pleased and did not disturb their feeding.

He returned to the pavilion to start cultivating various spells.

Spirit Eye Technique, Flying Body Technique, Insect Attraction Technique, Insect Extermination Technique, Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon...

Besides spells, there was also the Body Cultivation Technique.

When the time was about right, he once again summoned his spiritual power and cut through it once.

Regular and yet numb.

In fact, he wasn’t sure if some spells would work, but following the ethos that having more skills never hurts, he practiced them all.

Anyway, as long as he was willing to invest time, these low-tier techniques improved quickly.

Additionally noteworthy was the significant effect of the Insect Attraction Technique.

After casting this spell, even Spirit Insects more than a meter deep underground, which were in deep slumber, were lured out and then conveniently dealt with by the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees.

"This Insect Attraction Technique and Insect Extermination Technique are quite useful to Spirit Farmers and Spirit Plant Masters. If cultivated to Small Success or Great Success, I could truly consider going to the Spirit Plant Hall for an evaluation to see if I could qualify as a Spirit Plant Master."

While cultivating spells, Zhou Changwang’s mind was also turning.

After all, in the Cultivation Realm, strength is certainly the most important, but status is equally significant.

Take Qian Xiaoyue for example. Previously chosen as the target by that Innate Couple for a robbery, she suddenly became an apprentice Alchemy Master at the Hexagonal Pavilion, and they immediately abandoned their intention.

This is the change in perception following a change in status.

The same applies to Zhou Changwang.

If he held the status of a Spirit Plant Master at the Spirit Plant Hall, others would give him more respect when he traveled.

Spirit Farmer?

Of course, it’s not as prestigious as a Spirit Plant Master.

Especially since he heard from Shen Xinyue that with his Spiritual Root Talent, he almost has no chance to enter the sect, even with the Water Cloud Order given by the other party.

Only with the added status of a Middle-Grade Spirit Plant Master...

Regardless of whether he wants to enter the sect or not, obtaining the qualification of a Spirit Plant Master only has benefits and no harm for him.

In the afternoon.

After eating a lunch of Thunder Spirit Rice, he went into the Cultivation Secret Room and cultivated the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique for two whole hours.

When he emerged from the Cultivation Secret Room.

The Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique had finally changed.

Spells: Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique (Mastery 1/200)

"Mastery level of the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique now truly surpasses the Geng Metal Finger in terms of power.

It can definitely be considered my most powerful technique."

Zhou Changwang was very delighted.

In his opinion, the Dharma Seed level of Geng Metal Finger was already very high in terms of power, comparable to a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer practitioner exerting full power with a Middle-Grade Magical Artifact.

Yet now, his Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique exceeded this level, truly reaching the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer level.

The power of his strike was already enough to threaten a Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer practitioner.

"However, there’s still that issue.

The casting time is too long.

Although the Mastery level of the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique has reduced the casting time from the previous fifteen breaths to now ten breaths.

It still cannot play a significant role in combat."

Zhou Changwang lamented, then went to the backyard and started irrigating the five acres of Spirit Field.

Fertilization Technique, Spirit Rain Skill, Thousand Thunder Flashes... striving to make each Spirit Plant, whether it be Spirit Gathering Grass or Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, reach its growth limit and mature as soon as possible.
