The process of blood and Divine Soul transfer lasted for quite a while.

It wasn't until more than a day later that Qi Ping weakly stopped.

"Goodness! No wonder the Life Contract allows the Fiery Sun Wood to be the basis for my revival. Isn't this directly sculpting a new body and Divine Soul for me?"

Now Qi Ping could clearly feel that there was a body belonging to him inside the Fiery Sun Wood, and with just a thought, he could awaken and control that body.

However, this body hadn't been fully nurtured yet, like a blank sheet of paper; it would only trigger the contract and awaken with Qi Ping's consciousness if his current body perished.

"Moreover, every time my strength increases in the future, I'll have to renew the contract, otherwise, even if I revive, I won't be able to restore to my peak state..."

Qi Ping, sensing his weakened body, realized the side effect of the Life Contract: his current body and Divine Soul felt hollowed out, leaving him extremely frail.

In his current state, he estimated it would take about a month to fully recover.

"No matter what, this is equivalent to having an extra life, and one that can be re-consolidated after use!"

This is great!

After all, who could hide their inner joy at the prospect of having an extra life that can be continuously re-consolidated?

"I'll wait until I've completely recovered to consolidate the Tree-man Avatar!"

Qi Ping was uncertain about how much it would cost him to consolidate the Tree-man Avatar; at least in his current weakened state, it seemed difficult to sustain its consolidation.

So Qi Ping had to restrain his thoughts and focus on recovery.

...

A month later, just when Qi Ping was almost fully recovered, the Bee King suddenly flew onto his shoulder.

"Buzz buzz... (Boss, the honey you assigned has been fully researched. A total of 372 kinds have been developed. Take a look at which types of honey would be most suitable for refining next...)" The Bee King stood on Qi Ping's shoulder, reporting their success during this period.

"372 kinds? That many?"

"Buzz buzz... (Yes, those Apothecary Bees love tinkering with this kind of strange stuff. However, some of the honey seems particularly potent, promising good effects upon use.)"

"Alright, let's go take a look now!"

Qi Ping was now eager to see what kind of effects the Apothecary Bees' honey had produced.

Not long after, Qi Ping arrived at the Golden Marrow Bees' hive, where the 372 types of honey were neatly arrayed before him.

At the first sight of this honey, Qi Ping was shocked by some of them.

Some honey was exuding a strong sun-like aura and Spiritual Medicine aura; just by looking, Qi Ping could guess that the Sun Essence and Spirit Medicine Essence within must have achieved a perfect balance and fusion to emit such a harmonious yet immensely profound aura.

This was definitely the highlight of today!

Qi Ping then conducted a detailed test, and with his Artisan talent, he could distinctly distinguish the medicinal properties of each type of honey.

He spent quite a while before completing the test of all honeys.

After the tests, a broad smile almost reached the back of Qi Ping's ears.

These Apothecary Bees really produced something special!

"You did quite well!" Qi Ping sincerely praised.

"Buzz buzz... (Hehe! As long as the boss is satisfied!)"

"Buzz buzz... (We'll keep trying harder!)"

"Buzz buzz... (Leave the honey matters to us in the future!)"

...

Upon hearing Qi Ping's praise, the Apothecary Bees buzzed with joy.

The Golden Marrow Bee King didn't say anything upon witnessing this, merely watched quietly, but was deeply content with this increasingly mighty Bee Kingdom.

Ever since joining Qi Ping, the growth speed of its clan was beyond its previous imagination.

Thinking of this, its heart was filled with admiration for Qi Ping.

Qi Ping, at this moment, was carefully comparing the 372 types of honey he just tested. After some verification, he picked out a few particularly excellent kinds.

The primary honey was brewed using a small amount of Sun Essence, Cyan Moon Fruit, Fire Spirit Grass, and Fire Crystal Fruit, blended and enhanced with eleven other Spiritual Medicines. Its effect on increasing Fire Attribute Spiritual Power was unbelievably good, along with very strong refining and physical enhancement effects.

This honey was the best among them! Without exception!

Qi Ping named this honey [Fiery Sun Cyan Spirit Honey]!

"The effect after successfully brewing this honey is countless times better than directly consuming these spiritual objects!"

"The art of Alchemy is indeed endlessly fascinating!"

Being a pharmacist in the Immortal Cultivation Realm is not without reason as the most popular and indispensable profession.

Besides the Fiery Sun Cyan Spirit Honey, there were several other impactful honeys.

Such as [Cyan Moon Spirit Reviving Honey], with an exceptionally good effect on Spiritual Qi recovery.

And [Cyan Spirit Honey], neutral and balanced, quickly enhancing spiritual power and nurturing the body, which is more suitable for small Spirit Foxes and Three-colored Deers to consume.

As for the honeys suited for cultivating each bee species, Qi Ping left it to the bees themselves to arrange. Since the honey was brewed by themselves, they understood better than Qi Ping which honey best suited them.

"Focus primarily on brewing the Fiery Sun Cyan Spirit Honey, then the honeys suitable for cultivating young bees, and brew a small portion of the Cyan Moon Spirit Reviving Honey and Cyan Spirit Honey..."

"Buzz buzz... (Yes boss! Will ensure to complete the task!)"

...

Once the honey brewing arrangements were made, Qi Ping proceeded to cultivate the Cyan Moon Fruits.

The Cyan Moon Fruit Tree had passed its initial fruiting stage once, and henceforth, it would take about three to four months to mature.

Thus, Qi Ping, Yaya, and the bee colony would enter a period of rapid growth!

A few days later, after Qi Ping's body and Divine Soul had completely recovered, he immediately began to consolidate the Tree-man Avatar!

At this moment, Qi Ping's fiery sun-glowing Fiery Sun Wood was nurturing a body almost matching his current aura, which was Qi Ping's other life.

From now on, every substantial boost in Qi Ping's strength would require a new contract, but future contracts wouldn't require as much energy as the first one due to the existing foundation.

"Let's begin!"

"I hope the strength of this Tree-man Avatar is substantial, and its freedom of action significantly high as well!"

With this, Qi Ping's main body could stay home increasing its strength, while the avatar could earn Spirit Stones and gather resources outside.

It would be ideal to develop a Self-Destruction Technique thoroughly consuming energy and body in flames, to injure himself while eradicating all traces of the Tree-man Avatar upon encountering overwhelming foes.

After all, the Tree-man Avatar could be re-consolidated once gone...
