Now, the medicinal aura emanating from this ancient banyan tree was

extremely terrifying.

Even if he absorbed it with all his might, it was equivalent to scooping a bucket

of water from the ocean. It didn’t affect it in the slightest.

“Since cultivating the Medicine King Sutra takes away its medicinal aura, wouldn’t my usual practice of the Everlasting Spring Technique under its tree be of great benefit to it?”

Qin Niu thought of this and subconsciously looked up at the canopy of the

ancient banyan tree.

It always looked the same.

Under its tree, Qin Niu was like an ant. It seemed that no matter what he did, it

had as little impact as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

He subconsciously checked his own attributes.

There were some new entries in the properties.

Such as the profession of Beast Tamer.

This might have something to do with his contracts with a turtle and a calf.

To become an Insect Master, one simply needs to contract an insect. To become

a Beast Tamer, one just needs to contract a beast or a bird.

The experience value of Insect Master increased by 2 points because Fourth and the Grade Two Tiger Striped Iron Armor Ghost Ant advanced to Grade Three, resulting in increased experience.

From this, one can determine that breeding insects must reach Grade Three in order to improve the master’s insect control experience.

There is also another method, which is to contract insects.

Every successful contract with an insect adds 1 point to the insect control

experience.

But no one would probably level up this way.

Because there’s a limit to the number of insects one can contract.

Even if someone had the crooked idea of contracting an insect, and then killing

it, the cost would still be terrifying.

Qin Niu had a profound experience with this.

The two termites he had tamed before had both died.

When they died, as their master, he was greatly affected. He would have a headache for a long time, and in the first two or three days after the pets’ death, he even suffered from memory blur and cognitive problems.

Therefore, no Insect Master or Beast Tamer wished for their insects to die.

If it happened too often and too frequently, the master could easily become insane or imbecilic.

In his cultivation technique column, there was the addition of the Medicine

King Sutra.

His cultivation level had now become two types.

Also, he found that the increase in cultivation technique experience was not directly equivalent to the increase in cultivation level.

Every time he practiced the Everlasting Spring Technique, the experience of the cultivation technique increased, but the amount varied.

That time he understood the method of cultivating in the rain, however, resulted in a rapid increase in the experience of the Everlasting Spring

Technique.

It seems that the increase in cultivation technique experience is related to the comprehension and proficiency of the cultivation technique during practice.

There was another small discovery.

His farmer experience had increased a little bit, not much, just 0.31.

This was probably related to him planting those medicinal herbs.

It unwittingly revealed to him another method of increasing farmer experience.

After checking his personal attributes, Qin Niu did not leave the place.

He had only practiced for three hours, and it was still a long time before dark.

After a brief rest, he continued to practice with his eyes closed.

But this time, he practiced the Everlasting Spring Technique.

It was also a form of compensation for the ancient banyan tree.

Having taken its blood and absorbed its medicinal aura, he couldn’t always just

take, could he?

A sitting goose never lays golden eggs.

Even if it was extremely powerful, if he plundered it like this every day, sooner

or later he would wither it to death.

After drawing the banyan tree blood, he cultivated the Everlasting Spring Technique to help it recover from the depletion of its vitality. That’d be perfect. It could achieve a constant flow.

He cultivated until it was nearly dusk.

Qin Niu reluctantly stopped cultivating, took the tree blood on his back, and hurriedly left the place.

Outside under the pine tree, the eight worker bees from yesterday were still evolving.

There was nothing to be done; each species’ evolution time varied.

Even for powerful termites, it generally took two to three days to complete

their evolution.

Qin Niu was not in a hurry, he simply needed to wait patiently.

Upon his call, the ten newly hatched worker bees flew over to him.

They were again bestowed with an opportunity.

in the sky, Qin Niu heard once more the bombing-plane-like buzzing of wings.

Those damn hornets really are everywhere!

Here they come again!

He had just eradicated a nest of them last time.

It was unexpected that the hornets would reappear so quickly.

In these deep mountains, with abundant resources, there were many wild bees and small insects.

Hornets are omnivorous creatures that, when persuaded, would even dare to kill mantises, known as the king of insects.

As long as there was food suitable for them, one could always see their presence.

This also indicated the strong survival capabilities of hornets.

Since they did not produce honey themselves, to propagate and strengthen their hive, their favorite thing to do was to plunder others’ homes.

Bees were their preferred target.

Because to them, bee honey, larvae, and eggs were considered high-quality nutrition. And since bees are very weak, just a few dozen hornets could annihilate a hive housing tens of thousands.

Low risk, high reward; not just hornets, but even humans would scramble to do

it.

The buzzing sound above Qin Niu’s head didn’t disappear quickly like before but continued to persist.

He looked up towards the sky.

There he saw a little black shadow, much bigger than a bee, hovering at low altitude, circling constantly.

“Damn it, the beehive is exposed again!”

Qin Niu sometimes really felt sorry for these hardworking littles bees.

All they did was diligently gather nectar and never paid attention to whether there were hornets or other predators lurking in the shadows.

This could easily bring disaster upon their entire colony.

The hornet had definitely noticed this hive of bees.

It was very cunning, not venturing in alone, but instead circling in the air,

leaving behind a strong trail of pheromones.

This was a call for reinforcements.

Qin Niu did not bring any tools with him, and although he had admirable insect-catching skills, they were not enough to capture this ‘scout’ hornet.

“Then, today’s breeding plan will have to be adjusted!

After some thought, Qin Niu ultimately fed a small amount of banyan tree blood to five of the newly emerged worker bees, while the remaining five were cultivated normally, following the usual process.

Termites fed with a bit of banyan tree blood would evolve into Swift Ants. He wondered what the worker bees would turn into after consuming it.

Today’s luck wasn’t too bad; all ten worker bees survived after being fed the banyan tree blood.

After Qin Niu placed them back in the hive, he didn’t rush to leave.

Instead, he quietly waited for the hornet’s next move.

Hornets generally liked to attack beehives at dusk or in the afternoon.

There was still some time before nightfall, so he had to wait.

“Fourth, lead a few termites with Spirit Control ability to the tree for surveillance. Grade Three Tiger Striped Iron Armor Ghost Ant, you take a few Soldier Ants to the tree for surveillance as well. If the hornet gets within your attack range, knock it down for me.”

Qin Niu didn’t bring many termites this time, only about twenty.

But they were all elites, extremely powerful in combat.

They were capable of both close combat and ranged attacks.

After circling high in the air for a while, the hornet began to fly down towards the pine tree.

Qin Niu felt secretly delighted; he was worried it wouldn’t come down. As long as it did, he could handle it.

In his hand, he already held a wooden stick nearly two meters long.

If the termites couldn’t deal with it, and it came close to the tree, Qin Niu would seize the moment and knock it down with a swing of his stick.

It was a pity that the old worker bees wouldn’t follow Qin Niu’s commands. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a chance for this hornet to strut around; it would have been overwhelmed by a swarm of bees in the sky that would then take it down.
