It was already deep into the night, but Zhang Che still hadn’t recovered from the joy of advancing to Tier Seven. He lay in his sleeping bag, his eyes open, his head filled with all kinds of complicated thoughts.
“Tsk, tsk! If this is an immortal cultivation world, obviously my temperament is lacking, and I would be easily influenced by stray thoughts and suffer from qi deviation…”
Zhang Che really wanted to force himself to fall asleep as soon as possible, so that he could continue on his way early tomorrow morning and return to Mercury. Alas, it was like that sometimes. The more you wanted to fall asleep, the more your sleepiness slipped away.
After tossing and turning for some time, Zhang Che grew frustrated. As such, he crawled out from his sleeping bag and said to the elemental queen at the side, “Come, come, let’s play chess!”
The elemental queen’s eyes shot open, not a hint of sleepiness visible in her eyes. As a fire elemental creature, naturally the elemental queen didn’t need to sleep. It was just that she had followed Zhang Che for a long time and learned the “skill” of sleeping, although she would never actually fall asleep.
No matter what was moving outside, she could easily sense it. Zhang Che’s actions had actually surprised her greatly. She remembered how Zhang Che was no longer willing to play chess with her after being tormented a few times some time ago, leaving her incredibly bored during the nights in the beast worlds. She could only play by herself, pitting her left hand against her right, playing as both white and black in the game.
-Why did Master take the initiative to ask to play chess with me tonight all of a sudden? Could it be that Master’s chess skills has increased along with his advancement to high-tier beastmaster?-
Although she had a very good understanding of the human world by now, the elemental queen wasn’t a real human, after all. As such, she didn’t know whether Zhang Che had really grown smarter after breaking through to a high-tier beastmaster, perhaps improving his chess skills.
However, this didn’t stop the elemental queen from being happy. “Hah, that’s great!”
The elemental queen immediately crawled out from her sleeping bag. Meanwhile, Zhang Che had already taken out a chess set from his spatial storage, and put it on the empty ground between their sleeping bags.
—
After a quick game of rock, paper, scissors, it was decided that Zhang Che went first as black.
As the game went on, the elemental queen felt something wasn’t quite right. The skills displayed by Zhang Che were just like the past. Not only that, he even made more mistakes in certain minor areas.
“Hmm? This isn’t right… Master’s chess skills didn’t improve at all. Rather, it seems to have grown a little worse?”
As a result, the game quickly ended after it progressed to the mid-game and a big area of Zhang Che’s pieces were killed.
The elemental queen looked at Zhang Che with a doubtful gaze. Just as she was about to ask the questions gnawing at her, Zhang Che suddenly pushed the chess board forward and made his way back into his sleeping bag, closing his eyes.
“Alright, time to sleep!”
Soon, Zhang Che’s breathing gradually calmed down and stabilized. He actually fell asleep.
The elemental queen was stunned. She gradually understood the situation. It turned out her master didn’t look for her to play chess with and see if his intelligence had increased after advancing to high-tier beastmaster. Instead, he was too excited and couldn’t sleep. So, he looked to get tortured by the elemental queen in a game of chess to get rid of his excitement so he could fall asleep?
“Master is really… too strange!”
The elemental queen was at a loss for words. She felt like she couldn’t keep up with her master’s thoughts.
—
The next morning, Zhang Che had totally forgotten about his depression from losing the chess match. He was back to feeling the excitement from his advancement to high-tier beastmaster. After a quick breakfast, he continued on his way with the elemental queen, flying out on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon sped across the land. Before noon, they had returned to the safety zone. Shortly afterwards, Dijiang-hao slowly rose from the ground at an empty space in the military camp near the spatial gateway. It suddenly accelerated, whistling through the air to the northeast.

At about 4 PM, Zhang Che arrived back in Bei Du.
Liu Gang had come to receive them. When he first laid eyes on Zhang Che, his expression froze for a moment, then he smiled faintly and said, “Congratulations, Zhang-shao!”
As a veteran high-tier beastmaster, naturally he was able to clearly sense that the current Zhang Che was also a Tier Seven beastmaster like himself!
It was terrifying when he thought about it. Zhang Che hadn’t even passed his nineteenth birthday, right? Also, he had only become a beastmaster a little more than half a year ago. In less than a year, he had grown into a high-tier beastmaster from an ordinary person! It truly was incredible!
Liu Gang was certain he wouldn’t have believed it if someone had told him such a genius actually existed in this world if it wasn’t for him witnessing it for himself!
This was simply beyond common sense!
—
After returning to the villa, Sun Lan was also very surprised to learn that Zhang Che had advanced to Tier Seven. She knew that her son would be much safer when he went out in the future.
Well, as a mother, Sun Lan didn’t think of how talented Zhang Che was as a beastmaster. She only felt gratified at the fact that he would be safer.
Zhang Che was like a child who had just gotten a new toy. He couldn’t wait to tell all his close friends and family that he had advanced to Tier Seven!
Although Miss Tienan wasn’t at home, it was like she was the one who made the breakthrough after hearing the news. She was incredibly excited, saying that she would come back from school immediately to cook a few dishes to reward him.
Actually, Miss Tienan had a little bit of talent in cooking. Usually, she would personally go into the kitchen to make a few dishes, no matter if she was at the villa or at her own home. Her skills were totally presentable.

Afterwards, Zhang Che gave a call to his father-in-law, informing him that he had advanced to Tier Seven, and had also returned to Bei Du.
Unsurprisingly, Huang Juyun was also a little shocked to learn that Zhang Che had advanced to Tier Seven, despite having some understanding of his strength.
After congratulating Zhang Che, Huang Juyun took the initiation to bring up the matter about the herbal research institute’s relocation. After all, this project was was Zhang Che’s suggestion. He had to inform Zhang Che about the progress.
“Oh, right, Xiaoche, the relocation of the herbal research institute is complete. It’s been moved to Xinjing City in Jingzhou. You rest at home tonight. Make a trip here tomorrow and see our new herbal field.”
“Ah, the relocation is complete? Alright, then. I’ll make my way over first thing in the morning tomorrow.” Zhang Che was very surprised, too. He had thought Huang Juyun would discuss with him about where to relocate the herbal research institute after he came back from the beast world. He didn’t expect everything to be done already.
This was fine, however. It saved Zhang Che from thinking about all this. Going forward, he only had to transplant a batch of spiritual herbs to the herbal research institute every once in a while.
-Jingzhou, huh? It’s a good place, indeed. Even though the climate has been affected by the invasion of the demon world’s energy, making the winter colder than before, Jingzhou is in the tropical zone, after all. It won’t be too cold even if the temperature is lower.
-With that, the production of spiritual honey will definitely break through a critical point, reaching a terrifying degree. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before me and the Huang family will be earning over ten thousand purple crystal points a day…-
Ten thousand purple crystal points a day could be achieved with only one thousand grams of spiritual honey. Zhang Che had the secret plane to produce spiritual herbs for him. It really wouldn’t be difficult to achieve this target.
In the future, as the scale of the herbal field continued to expand, perhaps it wouldn’t be a problem to produce ten thousand grams of spiritual honey a day!
Zhang Che wouldn’t let the time drag on for too long. At the most, he’d achieve this target before the arrival of the fifth beast swarm. At that time, a portion of spiritual honey would be sold as luxury item, earning him and the Huang family a great fortune, while another portion of it would be used as materials, producing large amounts of medicine to prepare for the fifth beast swarm.
Zhang Che was thinking of discussing this matter with Huang Juyun. At that time, they’d sell the medicine at a low profit margin to strengthen all the beastmasters, giving them a better chance at surviving.
That way, during the fifth beast swarm, as well as the possible invasion of the demonic army, the beastmaster’s casualties would be greatly reduced, preserving much of Hua Xia’s strength!
