Huang Tielan stared at Zhang Che for quite a while. In the end, she shook her head, not feeling any obvious changes after he advanced to Tier Seven beastmaster.

“Nothing seems to be different..?”

Of course, her beastmaster tier was only at Tier Three. It was only natural that she couldn’t tell the difference.

“Really, nothing changed?” Zhang Che rolled his eyes. An idea came to mind. The Berserker Bear card was already in effect, and he activated its skill as well. An aura that seemed to come from a wild exotic beast suddenly rose from Zhang Che. A faint pressure spread out.

This time, Huang Tielan’s expression changed instantly. “Zhang Che, yo-you… you’re not possessed by an exotic beast, are you? Why is the aura of an exotic beast on you?”

If it wasn’t for the fact that she could feel the affection Zhang Che had for her from his eyes, Miss Tienan would probably have turned around and fled without hesitation.

Zhang Che laughed. He immediately contained his aura and told Huang Tielan about the Berserker Bear card and its attributes. Her mouth opened wide from shock, unable to recover for some time.

“There’s actually such a powerful Fusion Transformation-type beast card?” Huang Tielan mumbled to herself. Afterwards, she immediately grew excited and asked, “Then, Zhang Xiaoche, is it possible that a Fusion Transformation-type beast card that keeps one energized exists? After becoming an intermediate beast card cultivator, I realized there’s actually a whole lot of things that I still don’t know. I really want to use the time for sleep to study instead!”

After hearing this, Zhang Che felt ashamed. If he had to study and research like that, he’d probably find that there was no meaning in living any longer.

However, Miss Tienan looked like she would endure the hardship gladly, wanting to use the time for sleep to study instead. That was probably the biggest difference between a straight-A student and a failing student, right?

Zhang Che rubbed Huang Tielan’s head, replying to her in a tone that was both amused and irritated. “What are you thinking? How can such a beast card exist?”

Given Zhang Che’s current height, rubbing Huang Tielan’s head was now something very natural for him. In the past, Miss Tienan was half a head taller than him. He’d have to raise his arm to rub her head; that was too awkward.

“No? Then forget it. I’m going to the kitchen to cook!” Huang Tielan said, sounding a little disappointed. She turned around and walked into the kitchen, preparing to personally whip up a few dishes to reward Zhang Che and celebrate his advancement to Tier Seven beastmaster.

After dinner, the couple went to the villa next door together to check on some ingredients in stock.

Zhang Che had decided to configure the Purple Jade Condor and the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander’s cultivation fluid. Although their levels weren’t high, their quality wasn’t low. Many ingredients were needed. Zhang Che and Huang Tielan had to confirm whether the ingredients in stock were complete. If not, they’d have to go around buying ingredients from tomorrow on.

At the same time, Huang Tielan needed to get familiar with the recipe for the two beast cards’ cultivation fluid. After all, she had never concocted such a high level cultivation fluid before. She had to mentally prepare herself first, so that she wouldn’t mess up during the actual procedure and was confident about it. That way, she wouldn’t make a minor mistake and fail in making the concoction.

As expected, after checking through the inventory, they found out they didn’t have a few ingredients from the recipe in stock, and they needed to buy them outside.

After they were done with the proper business, the two suddenly fell silent, staring at each other. There seemed to be flames burning in their eyes.

Zhang Che had gone into the beast worlds for more than ten days this time. Naturally he would miss Huang Tielan after not seeing her for so long.

As the two locked gazes, they slowly got into an embrace. Afterwards, their heads came together and started twisting about. Their lips and tongues interlocked, the temperature between them quickly shot up, like the lightning of the heavens striking and causing a fire. It nearly couldn’t be stopped.

Of course, it was impossible for a real lightning fire to occur. The almighty god of harmony was looking on coldly from the side.

After a short moment of intimacy, the two returned to their home. Zhang Che stayed in his own room, not sleepy in the slightest. In his heart, he was thinking whether he should ask his mother to find a day and make a trip to the Huang mansion to talk about marriage properly, finally settling their affairs?

They couldn’t possibly wait until the fifth beast swarm was over before taking care of their marriage, right? But, would it be too soon now? He and Miss Tienan weren’t even nineteen yet.

His mind wandered for some time. Zhang Che suddenly remembered he had to go to Jingzhou tomorrow. At that time, he couldn’t possibly go empty handed to the huge herbal field planned out by his father-in-law and the others, right?

However, during this period of time Zhang Che had been fully focused on hunting exotic beasts. Other than gathering a few spiritual herbs on the way, he didn’t get the frisky monkey to deliberately look for spiritual herbs. That tiny amount of spiritual herbs was surely too embarrassing to bring out. Even so, this wasn’t a problem for him.

With a casual thought, a faint ripple spread from the rainbow crystal in his spiritual sea. A tiny purple gap suddenly opened in the space in his room, drawing Zhang Che in before quickly disappearing.

After the secret plane was taken over by the rainbow crystal, it became extremely easy to open it. There was no need to open the whole spatial gateway. All that was needed was a tiny crack in space big enough to let Zhang Che in!

Entering the secret plane once more, Zhang Che directly appeared at the floating mountain range he was at just before he exited the last time.

There was obviously not a very strong connection between the secret plane and Mercury. It was around 10 PM in Hua Xia, Mercury, but inside the secret plane, it was still daytime. The whole world was bright.

Although this floating mountain range wasn’t as big as the one Zhang Che had first entered, which housed the control center of the secret plane, it was the largest floating mountain he could see.

-Let’s see if there are some spiritual herbs here.- At that thought, Zhang Che immediately summoned the frisky monkey out. He didn’t order the monkey to activate his skill. Instead, they sensed their surroundings with his innate ability.

The frisky monkey was obviously very excited to come to the secret plane again. He could remember that spiritual herbs were everywhere in here, with many fruits, too!

Although the frisky monkey loved roasted meat, he still had a liking for spiritual fruits as well. However, seeing as his master daddy wanted him to check the situation of the spiritual herbs around them, he wasn’t in a hurry to go searching for spiritual fruits. Instead, he used his innate ability to scan the surrounding three thousand meters. Afterwards, he cried out loud, “Daddy, spiritual herbs, so many spiritual herbs!”

Zhang Che’s face lit up. As he had expected, the secret plane’s floating mountain range was filled with spiritual herbs everywhere!

With this, there would be no problem expanding the spiritual honey business to a larger scale.

“Come, we’ll go gather herbs first, then look for spiritual fruits for you afterwards!” Zhang Che waved his hand, mounting the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon together with the frisky monkey. They flew around as they wished above this floating mountain range, landing from time to time at various places, be it mountain ridges or valleys, and swinging the herbal hoe earnestly.

All kinds of spiritual herbs were quickly harvested by Zhang Che, stowing them all into his spatial storage.

Although the spiritual herbs here weren’t at a high grade, they were abundant. Zhang Che made some rough calculations. He realized he would find a spiritual herb about every hundred meters. Sometimes, he would even find a few of them growing in the same area.

After working for over an hour, Zhang Che gathered more than a hundred spiritual herbs before stopping. Afterwards, he found a spiritual fruit tree with the frisky monkey and they stuffed their faces, covering their hands and faces with fragrant fruit juice.

It wasn’t that Zhang Che didn’t want to dig out more spiritual herbs, but he truly couldn’t take out too many herbs in front of others in one go, or he would draw attention.

Although Huang Juyun knew Zhang Che had a subdued beast with the ability to sense spiritual herbs, his main objective in the beast worlds this time was to advance to Tier Seven beastmaster. He couldn’t possibly have spent much time on gathering spiritual herbs. Some things needed to be done in moderation…
