Chapter 300 - Chapter 300: Chapter 293 Feeding Bees with Blood_1 (2/2)

The fate of Elder Jiu Yin’s master, who for a moment’s pleasure brought calamity upon his disciple’s wife, ended up extremely wretched.

Through reading “Breeding Insects Secrets,” Qin Niu had gained some insights into cultivating Green Demon Bees.

Being able to hatch Green Demon Bee eggs with fresh blood suggested that it was also possible to feed the larvae with fresh blood.

The day he slaughtered Elder Jiu Yin, Qin Niu obtained a large amount of fresh blood, which came in handy for feeding the larvae.

He tried using a small wooden stick to scoop up a bit of coagulated blood and then placed it near the larvae’s mouth.

No use.

It couldn’t move at the moment and, although its mouthparts kept opening and closing, it couldn’t reach the blood.

This didn’t stump Qin Niu; he had a swarm of bees and could order a couple of Worker Bees to come and feed this larva.

He directly summoned two powerful War Bees over.

After consuming the coagulated blood, they began to feed the young Green Demon Bee.

Hey, this trick indeed worked.

It fed happily, with the two War Bees bustling about joyfully.

“Not bad, not bad. Hopefully, this larva will turn into a pupa soon.”

He tried checking the larva’s properties.

Green Demon Bee (Larva)

Grade: Grade Four Hymenopteran insects, experience needed for leveling up 10021/100000

Lifespan: 1000 years

Energy: 10070

Skills: None.

Talents: None.

Its skills and talents were not visible for the time being.

It might be necessary to wait for it to pupate and hatch before being able to see its skills and talents as a mature larva.

Being just a larva, it already had a lifespan of a thousand years, and it was a Grade Four insect.

Its innate conditions were even better than those of the Green Silk Worm.

This was the famous insect that brought renown to the Green Demon, and once it matured, Qin Niu was certain it would bring him pleasant surprises.

What he needed to do now was to nurture it with great care and wait patiently.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out the egg of a Corpse Bee and placed it beside the larva.

Then, following the Secret Technique described in the “Spider Technique Scroll,” he used human blood as a catalyst to induce mutual consumption and fusion between them.

This was going to be a lengthy process.

“Master Qin, are you home?”

It was the voice of the matchmaker, Madam Hua.

“I am home. Let me change my clothes, and I shall accompany you to the Tang family to propose marriage.”

Qin Niu took this matter very seriously.

After all, it was a significant event in his life.

After changing his clothes, he and Madam Hua, carrying the betrothal gifts, set off for Tang Wenhаn’s residence.

In the backyard, Tang Fang was already busy with the craftsmen.

Qin Niu naturally wouldn’t bother with these trifles, leaving it to the craftsmen to get on with their tasks.

They needed to boil sticky rice juice, mix it with five-colored mud, and the firewood in the backyard was at their disposal.

In this world, there was no cement, but there were five-colored muds, which, as legend had it, were passed down by Nüwa when she mended the sky. However, Nüwa’s creation was the Five-Colored Yuhua Stones.

In folk burials or for constructing the foundations of houses, five-colored paste was often used.

It was made by mixing sticky rice juice, lime, sand paste, and other materials.

Impervious to soaking, resistant to corrosion, it could last a thousand years without damage.

Pool edges constructed with stones and green bricks along with this mud would be incredibly sturdy.

Because producing five-colored mud required the use of sticky rice, ordinary poor families would be reluctant to waste food. Thus, it was only the rich and powerful who would use it extravagantly.
