Chapter 435: A Plan to Raise Bees

“Master…” Resentment could be seen on the elemental queen’s face when she heard her Master wanting to give her away.

As a powerful fire elemental creature, she would only submit to those who were truly strong, not to mention Zhang Che had planted a rune on her soul. It was impossible for her to acknowledge another as her master!

“Tch, you don’t mean what you say,” Huang Tielan pouted after hearing Zhang Che’s words. She laughed, “Do you really think I’d be jealous of an elemental creature? What a joke! But, Zhang Xiaoche, can she really refine some unique ingredients?”

Huang Tielan was naturally aware that the elemental queen was an extremely powerful creature. She would have no use for such a powerful pet when she stayed in the city all the time. Zhang Che, however, was always on the go. He’d be safer with more combat ability at his side.

-Is she really not jealous? Then was I imagining things or what?- Zhang Che was sure his sharp senses were right. Miss Tienan didn’t know the elemental queen wasn’t human at the start. It’d be strange if she wasn’t jealous!

He smiled awkwardly and said, “Since she’s not willing to, then forget it. But her control over the fire element is really high. Whenever I’m at home in the future, I can have her help you refine some ingredients and save you a lot of trouble.”

The cultivation fluid of low-tier exotic beast cards usually only required some bio-materials. The cultivation fluid of mid-tier or higher beast cards, however, started requiring all kinds of ingredients, including some that were very hard to obtain. It was very hard to refine them, and could only be done by relying on experimental apparatuses.

If the elemental queen helped out, naturally problems dealing with fire control would be solved!

Also, given Huang Tielan’s talent in beast card cultivation, it probably wouldn’t be long before she could start attempting to concoct the cultivation fluid for mid-tier beast cards!

“Right, there’s some good stuff you’ll surely like.”

Zhang Che suddenly remembered the spiritual honey he brought back this time. Although some of it would be used to produce medicine, there were close to five hundred kilograms of spiritual honey! Producing medicine would obviously not use up that much. Aside from keeping some for himself to eat with roasted exotic beast meat, he could give the rest to his mother, Miss Tienan, and the others for consumption.

Since even ordinary honey had the effect of beautification, the spiritual honey from the beast world naturally had better effects!

Huang Tielan was incredibly surprised when she saw the spiritual honey. Not only was it delicious, its effects were strong. Almost no woman would be able to resist its temptation. As such, the tiny bit of jealousy remaining in Miss Tienan’s heart immediately disappeared without a trace.

——–

The next morning, Zhang Che brought his things and followed Huang Juyun to the Huang family’s Herbal Research Institution once more.

Adding on the hundred ordinary spiritual herbs Zhang Che had obtained on this trip, the herbal field was expanded considerably.

As for the ginseng with strong spiritual power, some of its root hairs were taken to produce medicine, then transplanted onto the huge spiritual jade in the center of the herbal field, becoming a neighbor of the ice and fire lotuses.

After transplanting the ginseng, Zhang Che could clearly tell that the ginseng’s spiritual waves were even stronger than the ice and fire lotuses.

It was no wonder the frisky monkey had such a strong desire to consume it when Zhang Che first dug out the ginseng.

Without a doubt, the ginseng was definitely able to help the frisky monkey rank up and become a mid-tier pet!

-Looks like I have to find a spiritual herb potent enough to let the frisky monkey advance to mid-tier when I enter the beast world next time. Otherwise, his quality will forever be stuck at dark gold, unable to advance any further…- Zhang Che thought. This was a very important matter.

The frisky monkey’s search range was already this wide at dark gold-quality. If he could advance to legend-quality, let alone him becoming stronger and giving Zhang Che the option to order a super strong bow for him, even without using his daily skill, his passive search radius would be wide enough for them to go searching for spiritual herbs.

Zhang Che even thought that after the frisky money advanced to legend-quality, they would never miss another spiritual herb wherever they went. All of them would be discovered!

At that time, with the Huang family’s herbal research and medicine producing facilities behind him, the benefits he’d obtain would simply be unimaginable with him providing an endless supply of spiritual herbs for them.

“Hmm, at that time, perhaps we’ll have to continue expanding this herbal field!”

The corners of Zhang Che’s lips drew back in a faint smile as he looked at the blossoming flowers from some of the spiritual herbs in the field, an idea suddenly struck him.

He extended his palm. A bronze card with four hexagrams appeared on it. His data eyes swept across it, and Zhang Che’s smile grew even wider.

“Uncle Huang, I have an idea!”

Huang Juyun, who was giving instructions to the research personnel about cultivating the spiritual herbs at the side, stopped for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Che. He nodded, indicating Zhang Che should continue.

“I killed many bee exotic beasts while I was in the beast world trying to harvest that beehive, and obtained over eighty beast cards. So, I was thinking… if we can find some mid-tier beastmasters who no longer have much potential of developing further and have them employ the bees to gather the nectar of these spiritual herbs, producing more spiritual honey with even higher spiritual force?”

The spiritual honey Zhang Che obtained was produced from the nectar the bees gathered from ordinary flowers in the beast world, and already contained enormous spiritual force.

If they could gather the nectar of spiritual herbs to produce honey, wouldn’t they be able to produce top-grade spiritual honey?

Of course, with only several dozens bees, Zhang Che wasn’t too optimistic about how much honey they could produce.

However, there weren’t too many spiritual herbs in the field, either. Several dozen of them was enough for the job.

“Hmm?” Huang Juyun was simply blown away by Zhang Che’s idea. He stopped what he was doing and asked in a slightly suspicious tone, “Are you sure those fellows can still produce honey after turning into beast cards?”

“We won’t know until we try it,” Zhang Che smiled, “Maybe it really will work? If that is really the case, we’ll be able to get top-grade spiritual honey. No matter how little the amount, it’d be an extremely precious ingredient for producing medicine.”

In fact, Zhang Che knew these beast card bees were able to, because his data eyes saw the card’s attribute indicating they could still gather nectar to produce honey.

Of course, he would not say that directly, and chose to only bring up the idea to Huang Juyun.

Hearing Zhang Che’s proposal, Huang Juyun immediately grew interested. If Zhang Che’s idea could truly be realized, the value in doing so would be huge!

“Fine. We have many retired mid-tier beastmasters in the military department, who, for different reasons, can no longer step onto the battlefield. We’ll hire them to employ these bees. Not only can they continue playing a part, it’ll also solve our shortage of manpower in the short term.”

After all, ordinary mid-tier beastmasters usually already have a small fortune. It wasn’t realistic to hire them to raise bees.

The retired mid-tier beastmasters from the military department were mostly afflicted with disabilities in battle, and could no longer step onto the battlefield. Hiring them was a most suitable solution.

If the bees could really produce spiritual honey with even stronger spiritual power, the Huang family’s herbal research institute would gain another important ingredient.

At the same time, the spiritual honey could be directly absorbed by the human body. It was a rare good thing for both beastmasters and commoners.

Huang Juyun quickly treated this matter with utmost priority and began contacting the military department, hoping to recruit some mid-tier beastmasters retired due to disabilities and have them come over to the herbal research institute to employ the eighty-some exotic beast bees.

Zhang Che finally completed the tasks he had to take care of. He went home and spent a day with his family, ready to set off once more the next day to head to the next beast world, striving to advance to Tier Seven beastmaster as soon as possible.
