[Master, I can easily guess why you're so delighted at this moment. It must be due to the Ling Wood Tree]
Sheng made her guess, although she's about 80-90% sure about the treasure that made her master happy. Of course, one might think that his smile is caused by the matured and collected Warrior Qi Nectar Grains.
But only Sheng, the controller of this System Realm and the spirit ball belonged to the Jade Lord knows, that, the preciousness of the Ling Wood Tree is an entire tier above the Warrior Qi Nectar Grains.
The seven Silver-Coin Panthers followed Zhang Wu Ji as the latter moves closer to the spot where the trees are planted. With Zhan Yu already standing at where he's going to stop, Zhang Wu Ji gave the Servant Puppet his next instruction.
"Cut off one of the trees and split it evenly to Wooden Universal Plate's size. I will have something to do soon. As for the remaining trees, replant seeds so the next batch will grow up quickly." he ordered and took his time to inspect the Ling Wood Tree Forest.
"Sheng, do you know how to process the trees?" Zhang Wu Ji turned to Sheng and asked.
[If Sheng is being positive, I can confirm at least twenty to twenty-five successful pieces of the processed treasure]
She replied.
"Very good." Zhang Wu Ji smiled. Without other matter to say, Zhang Wu Ji continues with his inspection. He only needs to take another hundred steps to reach the Nest of his precious Silver Carapace Bees.
The last time of his visit, the nest was only a meter to two meters in diameter. But now, it was a gigantic 7x7 meter nest. Their number increases from 200 previously to about 500, with one-fifth of them are all elites.
It seems that there's a ritual process for them to go through before becoming one of the so-called elites. But Zhang Wu Ji wasn't bothered by that fact.
He entered their nest to look for the Silver Carapace Queen to deliver a piece of treasure he found from the Treasure Vault belonged to the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress. When his hand touched the item, a description box appears.

Yewberry Matured Flower +9
-Usage (1): When consumed by Wild Beast below 19th Stage of Inner Qi Warrior, increases their possibility of evolution by 3.9% (Effect only applied on the first Flower taken)
-Usage (2): Improve the lifeforce when consumed. Efficient increase by 1.9% for every stage consumer lacks
-Durability: 19/19
-Special (+5): If the consumer of this treasure is a leader, the effectiveness of the Yewberry Matured Flower is doubled. (effect applicable to Wild Beast only)
= = = = = = = = = =

Looking at the treasure, the Silver Carapace Queen starts to drool. The attraction given by the Yewberry Matured Flower overcomes all the high-quality Warrior Qi Nectar Grains inside the core of her nest.
Zhang Wu Ji smiled. He extends his hand so the Silver Carapace Queen can take a bite. While the Queen is eating the flower ferociously, Zhang Wu Ji smiled bitterly, as it was only himself know how precious is the flower.
There was only a total of fifteen of them. To increase the potency, Zhang Wu Ji struggles in his heart while upgrading them. The results are fourteen failure, with one remained at +9, which already counted as the best he could do after so long.
With 570 strands of Warrior Qi, Zhang Wu Ji knows.
The expenses to upgrade the fifteen Yewberry Matured Flower cost him 110 strands of Warrior Qi, where he can only replenish them after a night of meditation.
These results are after he added the Baixue Jade Mat and Compassionate Meditation Manual. Now, with proper maturity, Zhang Wu Ji finally understands the reason why the people in this Ping An Continent behaves.
But as a transmigrator, his mindset is different from the others.
Zhang Wu Ji's knowledge is not restricted to only within this world, but outside of this. Since he possessed knowledge from two worlds, why not use them for his own benefits?
"They put pride in their cultivation, but not in management. I might be a librarian in my past, but I am a cultivator when transmigrated here. With Sheng, I managed to change my ill fate of a trash Martial Body into The Tyrant Martial Body."
This is why Zhang Wu Ji did not even blink when he ordered the Wild Beast to slaughter the attackers from the Alliance. When he was meditating on the Iron Kong-Que on his way back, many things went through inside his mind.
He felt... Stupid and immature.
This is also why Zhang Wu Ji becomes much more decisive, from the moment he returned to the Seven Star Master Hall, he shed his formed immature skin, into a more decisive Hall Master.
Once the Silver Carapace Queen finishes the flower, it falls into slumber to refine the energy she just consumed. He went to the other Tamed Beast in his control and gave them his attention. After everything was done, Zhang Wu Ji proceeds with the refining process of the Blood Nourishing Pill and Spiritual Rebirth Pills.
Same like how the masters said. The more practice, the better you fare. Zhang Wu Ji's Pill Forging is at least comparable to a 2nd-Tier Advance Pill Master. Plus, the natural ingredients are grown by the meticulous care from Sheng, Zhan Yu, and Jade Lord.
After he left the System Realm, Zhang Wu Ji returned to meditates.

"Unfilial son Wu Ji pay his respect to dear father." Zhang Wu Ji kneeled on both knees to pay respect to his father. Although Zhang Qing Feng wasn't his real father because he's a transmigrator, paying filial piety to the parents is still a must, especially after he replaced the former as the Zhang Wu Ji inside of this world.
"Stand up and come to my side. You're a Hall Master now. You shouldn't kneel before the sight of your subordinates and attendants." Zhang Qing Feng had him stand up quickly to preserve Zhang Wu Ji's reputation as a Hall Master.
"Father, you must be joking. Wu Ji is your son, I am paying respect to my father, the person that brings me into this world, and not some puny kings or lord outside. I don't see the problem here." Zhang Wu Ji stands up and replies to his father's word.
"You... Still that rebellious as before..." Zhang Qing Feng clicked his tongue when his words are retorted by his son, but deep inside, he's laughing.
"If my son fears even his father, then at what height can he soar? A child can only surpass his father if he dares to voice his opinion." Zhang Qing Feng smiled.
"Father, you should instruct an attendant to summon me next time. I'll make my way to Li Jiang City instead." Zhang Wu Ji said. Although it was normal for a subordinate to make his way to their master, this person is still his father.
"It is fine. We should get to the proper discussion before its too late. Can father ask you a question?" Zhang Qing Feng waved his hand to stop their meaningless conversation and focused on an important matter.
As to suit his father's seriousness, Zhang Wu Ji waved his hand at the subordinates so they'll leave the two alone. Now, its only two of them inside this Meeting Hall.
"Father, please go ahead." Zhang Wu Ji said.
"Do you want to return to the Core Zhang Family?" unexpectedly, Zhang Qing Feng's question is too direct, but it allows him to obtain the answer he wanted to hear.
"Father... Forgive Wu Ji for his insolence." Zhang Wu Ji stands up from his chair and kneels before his father.
"I don't want to go back. I have an entire County here, what can the Core Zhang Family gives me?" Zhang Wu Ji replied. Additionally, he questioned his father on what the family can give him.
"The Core Zhang Family is one of the royal family of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom you dumb child. You're going to be at least a Duke when you're older." Zhang Qing Feng replied.
"Father, even yourself said, one of the royal family. Do you think that I'll get more than my County here when I went there?" Zhang Wu Ji interrupted. His word is accurate depending on how a person views this matter.
"Your talents will give you more than expected." Zhang Qing Feng convinced him once more.
"And I will have to follow orders from those above me. Do you think those that grow up in the Eastern Imperial Kingdom will let me obtain the benefits so easily? Father, you should stop lying to yourself." Zhang Wu Ji added.
This time, his reply received no answer from his father. The latter only closed his eyes and went into deep thinking. Zhang Wu Ji knows that there's nothing more to discuss, and excused himself.
"Take care of my father." Zhang Wu Ji said to Tang Yuan before he left.
.
.
.
His return proved to be effective. A spiritual leader watching behind the members is always the best motivation for them to challenge themselves. Production increases, with more products, Plantation, and commodities are introduced.
This improvement of lifestyle gives people a reason to fight for. In his opinion, Zhang Wu Ji believes that nobody will fight for nothing, but when they're showered with all of these comforts, everyone will think about the consequences if they were ruled by outsiders.
Zhang Wu Ji introduces them to the knowledge of having a Servant Puppet. While the mass-produced Servant Puppets are not as flexible as Zhan Yu, Zhang Wu Ji's can expect them to become an indispensable commodity that can be used as long they're capable of supporting their cost.
His return to the Seven Star Country comes with many living Fighter Qi Eater Bugs, which is the crucial ingredient to creates the replacement for the Fighter Qi Weaving Stone. Although the Treasure Vault of Master Hall now possessed over ten of them, their tiny amount cannot be compared with the mass-producible Partial Fighter Qi Weaving Stone.
Zhang Wu Ji allowed Li Yin, the smartest of the three disciples of his to handle their production. Not too long after, Li Yin returned to his Meeting Hall and suggested that they should cultivate the bugs underground.
Reason?
It was because they flourish when the Fighter Qi Eater Bugs survive underground. The living condition for them is better, which means, they could produce matured Partial Fighter Qi Weaving Stone faster.
Furthermore, Zhang Wu Ji decides to put the Celestial Designers Department into this team of production to produce a simplified, workable, mass-production efficiency product. This means it was a product made from the effort of two departments.
Their research took another seven days to make sure that all of their steps are simplified. But this day after their study is also a meaningful day for Zhang Wu Ji.
He's finally a 17th Stage Inner Qi Warrior, with 601 strands of Warrior Qi. Today is also the day that marks his time here inside of this world. A total of 540 days or18 months in this world.
But... While he's still putting his effort into consolidating his cultivation, a disturbance came from the outside.
"Master, I've come with some updated information brought back by our merchants." Li Jing bowed outside and reported the first sentence.
"Continue." Zhang Wu Ji said and opened the door. The merchants did a reliable job in his opinion, especially when his motive is only to obtain the hint of his opponent's action before it was too late to act.
"We're sure that the Upper South Merchant Corporation is gathering people and resources to conduct another attack on the Seven Star County. It seems that they're inclined to obtain our nearest Fool Silver Mineral Vein no matter at what cost." Li Jing reported.
"Oh... So what happened to the border?" Zhang Wu Ji asked.
"I think except some scouts and guards taking care of their borders, most of the workers, slaves, and residents are summoned back to the Capital to be reassigned." Li Jing reported.
"That's means... Their Mining Veins, Plantation, and factories scattered along the border is unguarded?" Zhang Wu Ji continues.
"Disciple doesn't dare to say unguarded, but lack of guards." Li Jing replied.
"That's good enough. Gathers the Hunter Department and Martial Art Department's members in our Master Hall Square. Tell all of them, Seven Star Martial Hall is going to attack Crystalline River County!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
