I don’t know what kind of news was received, but not long after the assessment, Xiao Zhiyan rushed in angrily, pointed one finger at Qi Fengyuan and called him a traitor, and pointed the other finger at Mrs. Xiao, saying that she was meddling in other people’s business.

Qi Fengyuan knew that he was called a traitor because he did not tell Mrs. Xiao in advance about his future meeting.

After all, they are partners, and Mrs. Xiao stepped in. In a sense, he did betray Xiao Zhiyan, his initial collaborator.

He has no choice but to cooperate with Mrs. Xiao. Not only can he achieve the greatest benefits and be most beneficial to Reba's development, but he can also keep secrets.

At least in the Xiao family, no one dares to disobey Mrs. Xiao. With the financial support of the Xiao family, it is much better and easier than fighting alone.

Therefore, Qi Fengyuan did not inform Xiao Zhiyan about the matter. He wanted to talk to her later and perform another scene to make her feel comfortable, but he did not expect that it would be exposed in advance.

As for Mrs. Xiao, when her youngest daughter accused her of being nosy, instead of getting angry, she patiently comforted her.

There is no better daughter than a mother. Although Xiao Zhiyan didn't say it, Mrs. Xiao also understood that she wanted to use Xinfeng Hall to carry out a reform of the Xiao family.

Mrs. Xiao stepped in. From Xiao Zhiyan's point of view, she doubted her ability, did not trust her, and still treated her as a child.

This is what makes her most angry.

In recent days, she has been so busy for Xinfeng Hall that she even put down her arrogance as the fourth lady and went to bargain with various halls, all because she wanted to achieve some results and make the Xiao family better.

It also lets everyone know that she, the young patriarch, not only knows how to practice, but also works seriously, inheriting all the advantages of Mrs. Xiao.

As a result, Mrs. Xiao and Qi Fengyuan did this behind their backs, and neither her mother nor her brother-in-law trusted her.

If it had been anyone else, she would have flipped the table over long ago.

In desperation, Mrs. Xiao promised her that she would not interfere with Xinfengtang's affairs and would no longer interfere with their cooperation, and would provide support if necessary.

Qi Fengyuan promised that he would do his best to supply elixirs to her and Xinfengtang, and he would inform her of any future cooperation issues as soon as possible.

With Mrs. Xiao's repeated promises and Qi Fengyuan's repeated assurances, Xiao Zhiyan calmed down and left in a hurry.

Before leaving, Qi Fengyuan gave Mrs. Xiao several jars of drunken jujube honey wine.

The first batch of Gu Xin was not brewed much, it was more of a trial nature and will be adjusted later. There is still a lot of room for improvement in quality.

These jars are the last ones in stock, and they were all requested by Qi Fengyuan as gifts to honor Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao happily accepted it, but this time she did not drink it on the spot, but put it in a storage bag, which made Qi Fengyuan a little disappointed.

I wonder if I will have the chance to watch the scene last night again in the future. If not, it would be a real pity.

He had no other thoughts, just appreciation, and just wanted to recreate a unique and charming picture.

Returning to Qi Mansion, Qi Fengyuan immediately locked himself in the beekeeping room and planned to do something big.

Whether you are practicing or improving higher-level elixirs, you cannot do without higher-quality honey crystals.

Ordinary honey can no longer meet the demand. It is time to work hard to increase the production of spiritual honey.

The current situation is that there is no shortage of spiritual honey flower sources, but there is a shortage of spiritual bees to harvest spiritual honey.

Qi Fengyuan has been asking Reba to refine the beneficial beast pills and feed them to the bees for a period of time. The effect is not bad. Some half-step spirit bees have completely evolved to first-level spirit bees after eating them.

Like the Qi Gathering Pill, Qi Fengyuan also used honey crystals to improve the Yishou Pills, and fed the best quality ones to Xiao Si and a group of queen bees to help them continue to evolve, hoping to reach the second level as soon as possible.

Of course, this cannot be accomplished overnight and must be done slowly.

With the supply of a large amount of improved Yishou pills, the spirit bee colony has grown day by day, from the original six thousand in two groups to thirty thousand in ten groups.

Not to mention anything else, this number alone, even if the individual strength is not strong, is enough to make any opponent under the foundation shy away and unwilling to confront them head-on.

These ten groups were all placed in the rapeseed fields of Butterfield Town, greatly increasing the output of spiritual honey, allowing Qi Fengyuan to accumulate several first-order honey crystals.

As for the Daiyin Flower in Pianshan County, it is a second-order spiritual plant and can theoretically produce second-order honey crystals.

It's a pity that Qi Fengyuan tried it with a swarm of spiritual bees. The real first-order spiritual bees were fine and could collect honey and make honey normally.

But the half-step spirit bees cannot do it. The second-level Daiyin flowers are very difficult for them. Some of them can't even penetrate the flower membrane that protects the nectar, so the brewing efficiency is very low.

The vast majority of the spirit bees in the colony are still half-step spirit bees, and there are not many first-order spirit bees.

Qi Fengyuan tried several methods, but failed to solve the problem and had to give up.

However, although he failed to collect the second-level honey source, he suddenly came up with a new direction for making honey during the experiment.

Although nectar is not available, you can always collect exposed pollen.

As we all know, honey is a mixture of nectar and pollen, mixed with some substances unique to the bee through an organ called the "nectar sac" in the bee's body, and is repeatedly swallowed and brewed.

The pollen nectar of first-order spiritual flowers can brew first-order spiritual honey, and the pollen nectar of second-order spiritual flowers can brew second-order spiritual honey.

So, what quality of spiritual honey can be brewed by mixing first-level nectar with second-level pollen?

Or, using ordinary nectar and mixing first- and second-order pollen, what quality of spiritual honey can be brewed?

Out of curiosity, Qi Fengyuan tried the combinations one by one. After many tests, the following conclusions can be drawn from the comparison:

In brewing honey, nectar has a higher proportion and importance than pollen. To measure it in terms of specific data, nectar generally accounts for 70% and pollen accounts for 30%.

In other words, the quality of the final spiritual honey depends to a large extent on the quality of the nectar. The better the quality of the nectar, the higher the quality of the spiritual honey.

Take the Daiyin flower as an example. Its nectar is a high-quality second-order nectar source. Whether it is mixed with its own second-order pollen, first-order rape flower pollen, or even ordinary pollen, the final product is still second-order spiritual nectar.

It's just that there is a big difference in quality.

Another example is the one in Butterland Town. The rapeseed fields now produce first-order spiritual honey of very ordinary quality, which has just reached the qualifying line.

But if you use first-order rape flower nectar and mix it with second-order Daiyin flower pollen, you can also brew first-order spiritual nectar, and the quality is obviously higher than using rape flower pollen.

Similarly, using ordinary nectar and mixing it with second-level Daiyin flower pollen, although the brewed honey is not first-level spiritual honey, the quality is much higher than that of ordinary honey, and can be close to the quality of drunken jujube honey.
