“It turns out that there’s innate fire elements deep in the lava pool. No wonder the Scarlet Flame Drake would give up on the golden lotus above!” Zhang Che finally understood what happened via their spiritual link.

In addition, the golden lotus was most likely growing thanks to the innate fire elements underneath it.

What a pity, however. The golden lotus was not fully matured. If a lotus seed head was grown and produced lotus seeds, the seeds’ effect would surely be higher than the innate fire elements in the lava pool.

Alas, it was impossible for Zhang Che to keep waiting here. The golden lotus had yet to mature; how long would it take to produce seeds? Not to mention that once the golden lotus matured, the medical effects would spread out definitely lure all the surrounding ferocious beasts here. Zhang Che would be lucky to get away with his life intact at that time; how would he possibly get his hands on the matured spiritual herb?

-One should know contentment. Let’s just take a look at the Scarlet Flame Drake’s attributes…-

As Zhang Che expected, after the Scarlet Flame Drake’s level and quality rose by a tier, its strength grew immensely.

First, its defense. This fellow used to be weak to both water and ice-attributed attacks. Now, it was only vulnerable to innate water elemental attacks. Normal water elemental attacks were no longer very effective against it.

Although… he didn’t know if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s darkfiend frozen air could threaten it. Perhaps he could find some time to do some experiments?

For now, he should think about what to do with the golden lotus.

Although Zhang Che wasn’t very knowledgeable, he knew that some spiritual herbs with unique attributes had to be used soon after being picked, or kept in some specially made container. Otherwise, the spiritual strength contained in the herb would quickly fade away, losing its medical efficacy and turning into something useless.

The golden lotus was exactly this kind of spiritual herb.

If the Scarlet Flame Drake wasn’t holding the herb’s stem in its mouth and used its innate fire elements to continue nourishing it, perhaps the spiritual herb would lose half of the spiritual strength contained inside it within three hours.

“Come on, Brother Liu, let’s return!” Zhang Che immediately made his decision.

To prevent further complications, it was better to bring the golden lotus back as soon as possible. The Huang family was sure to have some ways to handle it.

It wasn’t that Zhang Che never thought about letting one of his other subdued beasts or pets consume the golden lotus, but its attributes were too extreme. It was debatable whether his subdued beasts or pets could even withstand the enormous medicinal strength, and even if they could, they wouldn’t be able to absorb much, wasting the treasure.

With the Huang family’s enormous influence, such a treasure would be best put to use in their hands, no matter if it was used to concoct medicines, or having a fire-attributed subdued beast consume it to raise its level and quality. In any case, they wouldn’t shortchange him.

He was the only son-in-law of the Huang family’s third generation!

Thinking of that, Zhang Che’s heart thumped. -Shit, if the Huang family really nurtures me as their successor, would they make me marry into their family?¹

-Ugh, just thinking about it scares me. I heard those who marry into the bride’s family are looked down upon the most!

-Since ancient times, the only one who went on to become successful as someone who married into the bride’s family was the Blood Hand Slaughterer, Old Demon Ning. Do I have to walk his path?²

-But the era and setting is completely different…-

———

After exiting the cave, Zhang Che didn’t waste any time and directly summoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. Everyone, including the Scarlet Flame Drake who was holding the golden lotus in its mouth, and Liu Gang’s pet black tiger, jumped onto the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, and flew back towards the safety zone.

What surprised Zhang Che was that when the Scarlet Flame Drake hopped on, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon obviously felt some uneasiness, showing fear towards the Scarlet Flame Drake’s aura.

It was only then that Zhang Che remembered this fellow’s weakness was innate fire elemental attacks.

On the other hand, the Scarlet Flame Drake didn’t pay any heed to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s frozen aura. It seemed that unless it was a pure innate water elemental beast, nothing else would threaten the Scarlet Flame Drake.

Due to the surprising discovery of the top grade spiritual herb, the original plan of having Zhang Che train in this area for a period of time to raise his close combat skills to a certain level was cut short after just a day and night.

After Zhang Che crossed the spatial gateway, he immediately opened up his personal terminal and contacted his future father-in-law. He explained the circumstances to Huang Juyun, greatly shocking him.

-This kid really has miraculous encounters wherever he goes!-

Huang Juyun didn’t waste any time either, and directly arranged for a helicopter from the nearby military camp to fetch them, including the subdued beast and pet, taking them straight to the Huang family’s ancestral home.

——

Huang Juyun personally came to receive them at the aircraft parking ground. First, he looked at the Scarlet Flame Drake, a little stunned, then focused his gaze onto the golden lotus. After sensing it, he immediately showed a surprised face, “This is a top-grade spiritual herb of the fire attribute! In all my years, I haven’t seen more than ten of such high grade spiritual herbs!”

The Huang family’s background was deep, indeed. Following Huang Juyun’s order, someone brought a squarish fiery red stone box over, and carefully put the golden lotus inside.

“Xiaoche, I’ll take this golden lotus and do some research on its medical efficacy. Using this to raise a subdued beast’s level is too much of a waste. If it could be concocted into medicine, the benefits it would bring to a high-tier beastmaster is unimaginable. It’s worth would rise several fold!”

Huang Juyun waved his hand. The attendant quickly retreated, holding the red stone container carefully.

“Whatever Uncle Huang says,” Zhang Che nodded. Of course he knew that putting the golden lotus in the Huang family’s hand would bring forth its greatest value.

“Oh, right. Wait a second, Xiaoli.” Huang Juyun suddenly recalled something and hurriedly stopped the attendant from before. He instructed, “Bring a portion of the finished pills over.”

“Yes, general!” the attendant replied, nodding, and left with quick steps again.

“Xiaoche, do you remember those red exotic fruits you gave Lanlan’s grandparents before?” Huang Juyun said, smiling, “The research institute used those exotic fruits as the main ingredients and concocted a batch of medicinal pills with the effects of extending one’s longevity. Even ordinary human can withstand the medicinal strength. Take one portion back with you; treat it as a present from us to your mother.”
