After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

At the edge of a vast red lake, a long staircase stretched from the shore all the way to the bottom of the water.

Figures periodically surfaced, Water Element Beasts emerging from the depths of the lake with chunks of grey-brown stones and placing them at the shore.

On the busy outskirts of the factory, numerous Beast Tamers were patrolling and keeping vigilant with their beasts.

Since several Mercenary Corps had launched attacks on Jiu Chi City's various Resource Points some time ago, the security at this Watercore Flame Mine Resource Point had more than doubled.

These stones appeared unique, grey-brown throughout, though some had crystal colors of red and blue at the edges of their surfaces.

The workers on the shore moved the ore into the factory sheds behind them for excavation and cleaning.

In the massive factory shed, a large number of workers carefully chiseled away at the ore with small knives, fearful of damaging the Watercore Flame Marrow inside.

At the edge of the shed, a worker carefully broke open the stone's skin, revealing a translucent ore inside, and within the ore, a magma-like marrow fluid flowed abundantly.

Overjoyed at the sight, the worker shouted loudly, "I've struck the marrow!"

The Beast Tamers stationed by the shed rushed over and praised the worker after confirmation, "Not bad, your salary this month is doubled. It's the marrow, Lao Zhang, come and extract it."

An experienced master came over to take over the following tasks.

Under the supervision of the Beast Tamer, the workers extracted the Watercore Flame Marrow internally, and after weighing, there was a total of three ounces.

Shortly after, a red-haired Beast Tamer rushed over upon hearing the news and stored the marrow in a storage ring.

He then hurried toward the depths of the camp.

Inside a stone hut deep within the camp, the red-haired Beast Tamer skillfully opened an underground cellar and then climbed down.

Beneath the cellar was another world, a vast underground cavern carved out.

The floor of the underground cavern was covered with thick carpets.

The surrounding walls were adorned with crystal and agate decorations.

Deeper within the cavern, a massive Medicine Pool had been built.

Faint white mist emanated from within the pool, and a muscular red-haired figure leaned on the edge of the pool, his eyes slightly closed.

Hearing approaching footsteps, the muscular man opened his eyes a sliver and asked, "What is it?"

Your journey continues on empire

Standing behind the steps of the Medicine Pool, the red-haired Beast Tamer spoke respectfully, "Seventh Uncle, the ten pounds of Watercore Flame Marrow for this month have been collected."

"Hmm, good, put it aside," Chi Xie responded calmly.

The red-haired Beast Tamer took off his shoes and carefully descended the ladder, took out a large bucket from his storage ring, and placed it at the edge of the Medicine Pool.

The placid Medicine Pool suddenly started to churn.

A bulge formed on the water's surface, and a Black Python as thick as a water barrel emerged from the depths.

With one eye red and the other blue, its forked tongue flicked in and out as it swam to the edge of the pool, opened its mouth wide, and enveloped the metal bucket, its throat muscles wriggling as the bucket slid down its gullet.

A vague outline of the bucket could be seen,

But as it slid down the body, the shape of the bucket grew smaller and smaller until it reached the belly, becoming flat— the bucket had been completely dissolved before it fully entered its stomach.

After consuming the Watercore Flame Marrow, the Black Python's eyes shone brightly with dual-colored light.

It was clear that the ten pounds of marrow were greatly beneficial to it.

The Black Python rose from the Medicine Pool and coiled into the shape of a mosquito coil on the shore.

Just as the red-haired Beast Tamer was about to speak, Chi Xie took a deep breath and then waved his arm impatiently, coldly spitting out a single word, "Leave."

The red-haired Beast Tamer could only nod and comply, saying "Yes," before quickly departing.

As his figure vanished from sight, the water began to roil once again.

Under Chi Xie's watchful gaze, a figure gradually emerged from the Medicine Pool.

It was a woman with long hair sticking to her skin, her complexion as white and smooth as creamy jade.

She rose gracefully from the Medicine Pool, her red lips parting slightly, her tongue delicately licking her lips, as if savoring the essence of the Medicine Pool.

Chi Xie closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

The woman stepped out of the pool, droplets of water slowly trickling down her snow-white body.

"Seventh Elder, it turns out you enjoy this kind of thrilling atmosphere," the woman said with a laugh, covering her mouth.

"Hmph," Chi Xie snorted lightly through his nose, too lazy to explain.

"The Seventh Elder has asked me to assist in defense; you didn't mean to have me defend like this, did you? Your stature is too imposing, Elder, I can barely hold myself," she said.

Chi Xie spoke indifferently, "Of course not, this Watercore Flame Mine is quite valuable, and the enemy might target it."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The woman took a snow silk long dress from her storage ring and wrapped her body in it, sitting on the stone chair beside her.

"Might? Just because of a 'might,' you've had me stay here for almost a month. How am I to explain to the other Elders when I return? As a Patrol Envoy, I'm supposed to oversee twenty-four Resource Points," the woman said as she leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand, her generous cleavage on display.

But at this moment, Chi Xie was as detached as a saint, and upon opening his eyes, he did not glance in her direction, "My Beast has now reached the peak of the Sixth Layers, just one step away from breaking through to the Transcendence Seventh Level."

The woman's eyes flashed with surprise at his words, "Seventh Elder, I recall that your Beast only broke through to the Sixth Layers of Transcendence thirty years ago. Is this Watercore Flame Mine truly so beneficial to your Beast?"

It becomes increasingly difficult to break through as a Beast advances.

Transcendence Seventh Level is a High Transcendence, and it's extremely challenging to make progress at this level, requiring a vast amount of resources.

Even more notably, the Transcendence Seventh Level could challenge for a position as a Supreme Elder within the clan!

"It just happens to be very compatible with my Black Dragon," Chi Xie said and then looked at the woman, "Cover for me for two more months. Within two months, I will surely break through to the Transcendence Seventh Level. If I succeed, I will owe you a great favor."
