That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

Lin Zhifeng stood in an inconspicuous corner, holding the Spirit Pet Pill in his hand, intending to feed it to the Queen Bee at any time.

The queen bee was quite strong; she was able to fight Ding Mo to a draw.

Ding Mo didn't actually perform at his best, for no other reason than that he wanted to reap the rewards later—honey, royal jelly, and the like.

If he goes all out and shreds the hive to pieces, then he can win.

But if all they wanted was to win, they could have just set a fire and been done with it. Why did they even bother coming in?

Ding Mo had reservations, and so did the queen bee—after all, fighting in its own lair, others might not care, but it certainly would.

The two fought for several rounds without a clear winner, and Lin Zhifeng, who was watching from the sidelines, also failed to find an opportunity to intervene.

During a break in the battle, Ding Mo glanced at Lin Zhifeng, wondering what the young man was doing there.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Mo's Dragon Roar Sword clashed with the Queen Bee's stinger several more times, which made Lin Zhifeng very anxious—if the stinger fell off, the Queen Bee wouldn't live much longer.

As the queen bee once again met Ding Mo's dragon roar with her stinger, she slightly turned her body towards Lin Zhifeng. Without hesitation, Lin Zhifeng took advantage of the queen bee's focus on Ding Mo and risked stepping forward to stuff the spirit pet pill into the queen bee's mouthparts.

If he had only intended to ambush, that would have been easier, at least. Unfortunately, he wanted to feed him, which made things much more difficult.

Another point is that he thought the Queen Bee was too busy fighting Ding Mo to notice him. Little did he know that the Queen Bee had compound eyes, which were incredibly powerful, allowing her to monitor the surroundings from every angle.

Therefore, Lin Zhifeng's little movement was immediately noticed by the Queen Bee. Without any politeness, the Queen Bee flapped her wing at his face, sending Lin Zhifeng flying into the air, crashing directly into the hive and falling to the ground. The spirit pet pill worth one luck point in his hand also flew out of his hand, rolling onto the ground in front of the Queen Bee.

Ding Mo was worried about Lin Zhifeng's safety, after all, his task as the team leader was to protect the safety of these young disciples. He left the queen bee behind and flew over to check on Lin Zhifeng's condition.

Lin Zhifeng was fine. He dodged in time and was only hit on the left cheek by the wing wind, which is now a little swollen. He also fell and his butt hurts a bit, but otherwise he's okay.

Seeing that he was alright, Ding Mo turned around and prepared to continue dealing with the queen bee.

Lin Zhifeng also stood up, intending to continue watching.

But the queen bee is acting very strangely now.

The fact that it didn't take the opportunity to ambush Ding Mo and Lin Zhifeng can be attributed to the low intelligence of lower organisms.

But its current behavior is very strange: it is flying in the air, but its head is close to the pill.

Could there be some ingredient in this Spirit Pet Pill that attracts the queen bee and tempts her?

As Lin Zhifeng was thinking this, the queen bee made another move.

No one knows how it sucked, but the spirit pet pill that had fallen to the ground was sucked into its mouth with a "whoosh".

Lin Zhifeng was dumbfounded. This actually works?

After a while, the queen bee flapped her wings again and flew towards the two of them.

Ding Mo quickly pulled Lin Zhifeng behind him, and then brandished his Dragon Roar Sword, preparing to fight the Queen Bee once again.

Lin Zhifeng exclaimed with delight, "Uncle-Master, wait a minute! This queen bee is mine!"

Why did he say that? Of course, it's because the Spirit Pet Pill had already taken effect, and the system notified him that he had gained ten points of luck. Otherwise, why would he dare to take the risk?

Ding Mo, unaware of the situation, looked at Lin Zhifeng with suspicion.

Lin Zhifeng quickly explained, "That pill was a spirit pet pill. As long as you feed it to a beast, you can turn it into a spirit pet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the queen bee flew to them and stopped. Not only did she stop attacking them, she also gently flapped her wings at them.

Since they haven't yet undergone the blood oath ceremony, the two people here have been regarded as masters by the queen bee.

Seeing that Lin Zhifeng's words were true, Ding Mo was relieved. He put away the dragon's roar and earnestly instructed Lin Zhifeng: "This queen bee's cultivation is far superior to yours. You need to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise the spirit pet contract may not be able to restrain it, and it will be detrimental to you as its master."

Lin Zhifeng knew Ding Mo meant well, so he quickly thanked him, "I understand, thank you for reminding me, Uncle. I will definitely work hard."

Seeing that he was obedient, Ding Mo nodded and said, "Since you have already taken it as your spirit pet, hurry up and perform the blood oath ceremony." After saying that, she asked considerately, "Did you bring a storage device that can hold living creatures?"

Lin Zhifeng scratched his head and said, "No. I didn't expect to have such a wonderful encounter before I came."

Ding Mo took off a storage ring from her left hand, wiped off the restriction on it, and handed it to him, saying, "Here, take it and use it."

Lin Zhifeng was a little embarrassed to accept it. These storage rings, capable of holding living beings, were expensive, unlike those for inanimate objects. He had considered buying one before entering the secret realm, but the cheapest one cost a hundred high-grade spirit stones. He simply couldn't afford it!

Now that Ding Mo is being so generous as to offer it to him, how could he possibly accept it? He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Uncle-Master! But this storage ring is too expensive, and I dare not accept it for nothing. How about lending it to me temporarily? I will return it to you once I have settled the Queen Bee in a suitable place back at the sect."

Ding Mo casually replied, "Whatever you want," and went out of the beehive to check on the disciples outside.

Lin Zhifeng didn't dare to delay and quickly signed a spirit pet contract with the queen bee, then put it into the ring.

After he finished dealing with everything, he turned the storage ring on his left hand and chuckled, "Hehe, this trip to the secret realm has been incredibly fruitful!"

When Ding Mo arrived outside the beehive, he saw that everyone had worked together to take care of the queen bees. Now they were all obediently waiting for him outside.

It seems these kids are quite well-behaved. Thinking of this, Ding Mo couldn't help but smile. Hmm, except for the one inside. But the kid inside isn't bad either; he knows his limits.

Ding Mo briefly explained the situation inside to the disciples of the Sword Sect. Next, the disciples of the Sword Sect lined up to go in and collect the honey and royal jelly from the beehive.

Ding Mo naturally wouldn't compete with these Nascent Soul stage disciples for resources.

The hive is now empty, so there's no need to worry about their safety.

Ding Mo walked to a tree and stood there, intending to wait for them to finish before continuing their journey.

Lin Zhifeng had just put the queen bee away when the Sword Sect members came in.

When Lin Jun saw Lin Zhifeng, he couldn't help but tease him: "Tell us honestly, have you been hiding something good from us?"

Lin Zhifeng laughed and said, "You really did hide some good stuff! I captured the queen bee to keep as a spirit pet, so there will be plenty of honey and royal jelly from now on!"

Lin Jun retorted, "Pah! You? I think you should see Elder Jiu to check your head after you leave the secret realm, or you might have developed delusions."

Lin Zhifeng didn't argue with the scolding; he focused his attention on collecting honey and royal jelly. After all, returning to beekeeping would take time, so he'd do what he could for now.

After they had looted the hive, everyone had gotten quite a bit of honey. The royal jelly was the most precious, and everyone politely shared it, each taking some.

After Lin Zhifeng came out, he handed his bottle of royal jelly to Ding Mo as a thank-you gift.

Ding Mo thought that he had already taken the queen bee as his spirit pet, and that in time he would definitely not lack this thing, so he accepted it without further hesitation.

It was getting late, and everyone had a fruitful day of picking flowers and collecting honey. Now it was time to find a place to spend the night.

The terrain here is flat, making it unlikely that there are any caves. Besides, they've already traveled a long way today, so going back to yesterday's cave is impractical.

At this point, we might as well spend the night in the woods.

Ding Mo shared his thoughts with his disciples, and they all said, "We will follow our Uncle's arrangements."

With that in mind, Ding Mo instructed his disciples to divide the work—some would scout out the surrounding area to see if it was safe; others would set up camp. After all, everyone had storage space and had brought tents and such, so they wouldn't have to sleep outdoors.

When the patrol team returned, the camp had already been set up.

Ding Mo also set up some simple formations around the camp, mainly to guard against wild animals. After all, people would definitely need to be on guard at night.

Lin Zhifeng was among those who went out on patrol; he walked with Lin Jun and the other impatient guys.

They searched the entire grove and caught quite a few three-legged pheasants.

The few members of Lin Jun's group who remained at the camp burst into laughter and asked Lin Jun, "Boss, are you planning to raise a spirit pet?"

Lin Jun pointed at Lin Zhifeng and said, "Ask him. He insisted on being arrested."
