I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Jiang He focused all her attention on cultivation. She glanced at her temporary teammate and then at the Big Tail Bee that had returned. A plan slowly took shape in her mind.

They encountered the overlapping secret realm with a 30% probability. Now that the secret realm's duration has been extended by three days, Jiang He is a little unsure whether she can make it in time for the college entrance examination. Although she cannot kill the queen bee, she is eager to explore the beehive.

"honeycomb?"

Long Aotian was somewhat puzzled.

The hive is always very well hidden. If you are not a cultivator at the Golden Core stage or above, you may not even be able to find the way to the hive. Even if you do find it, the giant bees inside are all D-level demonic creatures. Their sheer number is enough to completely overwhelm the two of them. There was a time when a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage found the hive and was beaten to death by a swarm of giant bees.

Jiang He naturally knew this, but even the royal jelly inside the queen bee's body could sell for 1g/100 star coins, let alone the large amount of royal jelly in the beehive.

"The giant hornets will attack, but they won't actually hurt us. They mostly just want to lure us to the queen. If we go in other directions and they attack, the stronger the attack, the less they want us to go in that direction. As long as you and I keep trying, there's a good chance we'll find the entrance to the hive."

Long Aotian fell silent after hearing this.

“This girl is right. I told you long ago that Shangguan Ningxue is not a good man. You can’t beat Xie Xing either, so you might as well go straight for the hive. You might even make some money. Royal jelly is a good thing.”

Long Aotian pondered for a moment and then nodded:

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Jiang He's swordsmanship is lacking, so they have to rely on Long Aotian to lead the charge.

Jiang He randomly chose a direction and then observed the reaction of the giant hornet.

Seeing that the two of them left, the giant hornet did not chase after them, so Jiang He returned to the area where the giant hornet was.

Perhaps Jiang He was unlucky, as she searched several directions without attracting the attention of the Big-tailed Bee, until Jiang He asked Long Aotian to choose a direction.

"The giant hornet is moving! Run!"

Seeing that the giant bee was finally making a move, Jiang He quickly ran in the direction that Long Aotian had chosen.

The faster they ran, the more ferocious the attacks from the giant hornets became; some even launched their stingers directly.

"Be careful, the stinger of the giant hornet is highly venomous!"

Long Aotian reminded him.

Once the stinger leaves the body of the giant wasp, it will die.

They've resorted to such desperate measures, so it seems they've chosen the right path.

The Queen Bee is a B-rank monster, which is why Jiang He didn't intend to join in the fun.

She has to slowly grind down even D-rank monsters, let alone B-rank monsters.

Xie Xing and his group were at the Golden Core stage, which was just right for fighting B-level monsters, but Jiang He wasn't; she hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet.

The main reason for wanting to go to the hive this time was that some of the giant bees were scattered outside, luring other cultivators to their queen.

Some of the giant bees went to help the queen bee, making the hive more secluded and reducing the number of giant bees guarding it.

Therefore, Jiang He decided to risk going to find the beehive.

The two were attacked by giant hornets as they walked.

It has to be said that the stinger of the giant bee is indeed powerful. Jiang He burned some of the talismans for defense and even used the magic vine to block them from time to time.

Fortunately, there weren't many giant wasps.

Before long, Jiang He spotted a flat patch of ground. If Jiang He hadn't sensed the plants beforehand, she probably would have been fooled by the ground.

"The beehive isn't in the tree, it's underground!"

Jiang He drew her sword without hesitation and began digging, with Long Aotian following behind.

When these giant hornets saw that someone was trying to destroy their nest, they became even more frantic.

More and more giant hornets are dying.

Meanwhile, the queen bee also sensed something was wrong. A large-tailed hornet transmitted a signal, which the queen bee received immediately but did not rush back. After all, she was surrounded by several groups of hornets and could not escape.

Jiang He and Long Aotian broke through the ground, and soon a bottomless passage appeared in front of them.

But Jiang He didn't rush in; instead, she turned and ran.

Seeing that their home was almost gone, the giant hornet naturally had no interest in Jiang He.

After running for a long time without seeing the giant bee come looking for her, Jiang He quickly used a cleansing talisman to wash away the scent markings of the giant bee on her body.

Having a magical artifact in his hand, Long Aotian was not afraid of these giant bees. He slowly probed into the cave until his hands touched the sticky liquid.

He took a look using the light from the computer and was immediately overjoyed.

"Stop looking, it's just royal jelly. Hurry up and get some, that little girl is still waiting."

Upon hearing the old man's words, Long Aotian quickly grabbed a lot of royal jelly and applied it to his body.

When the giant bees saw that someone had stolen so much royal jelly and ordinary honey, they chased after Long Aotian like madmen.

The scent emanating from Long Aotian was far too strong.

Wherever he ran, the giant bee followed. Although the giant bee was a D-level monster, it was still an insect and had little intelligence. It just foolishly chased after Long Aotian, who had the most concentrated royal jelly.

Jiang He, hiding in the distance, saw Long Aotian leave and then slipped into her lair.

Jiang He's plan to obtain the royal jelly was for Long Aotian, with his superior combat skills, to enter the hive first, attract away most of the giant bees, and then for her to enter the hive.

At this moment, Jiang He took out another talisman, which was effective against monsters below rank D.

The main function of this talisman is to conceal scents, thereby achieving the effect of concealment.

Jiang He easily reached the deepest part of the beehive with the help of the talisman. Royal jelly flowed in the stone pool, and the walls of the beehive were covered with honey.

Jiang He showed no mercy and quickly started digging while the giant bee was away. She had put many pots and jars in her ring pouch, which she originally intended to use to dig up some spiritual plants to try cultivating outside her space.

These potted ginger plants weren't bought in special growing pots; instead, they were placed in water tanks or basins, so they don't have the drainage holes that flower pots have.

If you were to ask Jiang He why she doesn't buy specialized flower pots and planting pots...

That's because she's poor, both poor and stingy, and she simply can't bear to spend a few dozen star coins to buy a special planting pot.

However, this also made it easier for her to store royal jelly.

Jiang He worked like crazy until she was halfway through digging when she accidentally discovered that her digging scoop had dug up some stone-like objects. She picked up these stones.

A dozen or so crystal cores lay there, plump and glistening, on Jiang He's spoon.

It's the crystal core of a C-rank monster!

Do you know how much of an impact this has on a poor person?

Jiang He almost couldn't help but scream.

It’s been done.

She accelerated the pace of accumulating wealth.

However, Jiang He suddenly noticed a blockage.

She looked into the stone pool with a puzzled expression, and with a flick of her hand, a strange light suddenly shone from the area on the edge of the pool that had been covered by royal jelly.

I am!
