Seeing Zhang Che absorbing the incomplete medicinal pill’s energy fully without any complications, Huang Juyun’s eyes immediately shone brightly. “Good. I knew this kid’s physique was not bad. It went just as I expected!”
This kid’s spiritual strength was indeed extraordinarily high!
However, when Zhang Che walked out of the lab, the group of researchers quickly gathered around him to check on his vital signs. Although it seemed like he was fine on the outside, this matter was related to his well being. It was better to do a proper check up.
The results were naturally all normal. As of now, Zhang Che’s physique was so good it was terrifying. All vital signs were at peak values.
The researchers who helped Zhang Che with the check-up even thought to themselves, -Is this kid a freak? Which mid-tier beastmaster have physiques this insanely tough? Even many Tier Seven beastmasters have inferior physiques to him!-
They weren’t aware of Zhang Che’s past, but Huang Juyun was. As such, naturally he didn’t feel strange about it, only surprised that Zhang Che’s spiritual strength was that strong, too.
“How is it? Do you want to consume the complete pill right away?”
Zhang Che smiled faintly, his face filled with confidence. He replied, “Yes I can, Uncle Huang!”
“Good!” Huang Juyun clapped. He nodded heavily, “Pay close attention to yourself. If anything feels off, shout out immediately.”
Zhang Che returned to the lab once more. After the preparations were done, he took out a complete ice and fire pill.
The complete ice and fire pill was as large as a longan fruit. It emitted a thicker medical fragrance, much better than the incomplete pill from before.
Zhang Che blinked a few times, then opened his mouth and threw the pill in.
As the pill entered his stomach, a surge of medicinal strength immediately erupted. Zhang Che didn’t dare to be careless. He used his strong spiritual sense to guide the energy, spreading it to every corner of his body, slowly strengthening the toughness of his muscles and the hardness of his bones.
Huang Juyun and the researchers stood outside, watching the situation in the lab through the glass wall. They saw a heat wave rolling on Zhang Che’s body, as if countless ferocious beasts were rampaging inside him. His veins swelled up like huge earthworms.
However, none of them showed any signs of worry on their faces.
They had checked on Zhang Che’s physique earlier. They knew this kid’s physique had reached such a superhuman level that an energy rush of this degree shouldn’t be a problem.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Zhang Che opened his eyes. He felt like he was in his best condition ever, as if every cell was under his control.
He sniffed at a sudden foul odor. Zhang Che furrowed his brow slightly. He lowered his eyes, and saw that his skin was actually covered in a layer of reddish-black filth.
“Is this the impurities and dirty blood excreted after absorbing the ice and fire body tempering pill?” Zhang Che didn’t expect the effects to be this good. Even the impurities in his body were expelled from his body.
“A pity that the sap produced by the ice and fire lotuses is too little, in addition to the fact that the pills aren’t being supplied to only me. It won’t be so easy for me to gain a body as tough as diamond…”
In truth, Zhang Che had two legend-quality armors with different defensive properties. Whether he was facing physical or elemental attacks, he had the appropriate solution for them. It was impossible to penetrate his armors’ defenses without an attack from a divine-quality beast or higher.
However, Zhang Che was too weak himself. Even though he had superb armors, if his body was unable to withstand the shock of the attacks, his bones would break easily, and his organs might even be damaged.
If he had enough ice and fire body tempering pills, however, everything would be different. Zhang Che only had to keep tempering his body, and a day could finally come where his body was strong enough to withstand the residual effects of those powerful attacks.
Not only that, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to receive an attack directly from an epic-quality exotic beast, either!
In the end, the crux of the matter was that the ingredients for producing the ice and fire body tempering pills were too rare. It was impossible to mass produce them.
“Forget it. Thinking too much about it doesn’t help at all. Getting a dozen or so pills every month or two is enough. Although I won’t reach the level of invulnerability, it shouldn’t be a problem to temper my body to the extent of being able to withstand shots from small caliber firearms.”
As long as his body became tougher, in addition to his tough beast card armors, what was there for Zhang Che to fear?
The ice and fire body tempering pills could only be taken once a day at most. Otherwise, it would cause irreversible hidden injuries to his body. As such, Zhang Che didn’t continue with another pill.
After walking out from the lab, a little suet jade bottle was added to his spatial storage equipment. There were seven ice and fire body tempering pills contained in the bottle, which was pretty much all the stock remaining in the lab.
“Going forward, I’ll have someone send you the pills every month. Although it is definitely not enough for you, it’s better than nothing.”

Once they were back in the car, Huang Juyun asked Zhang Che, “What are your future plans?
“At present, although the demonic armies have withdrawn from every invasion point, their comeback is guaranteed to happen, only it is unknown when that will be. I feel like it is necessary for you to raise your beastmaster tier to high-tier.
“Mhm, I will have my subordinates sort out the information about the beast worlds across Hua Xia. I’ll find you a few suitable places for training. Otherwise, who knows how long you’ll take to get to Tier Seven?”
Zhang Che was overjoyed when he heard this.
Of course he wanted to advance to a high-tier beastmaster as soon as possible! But, just thinking about it was useless. He couldn’t find some suitable leveling areas; either there were too few mid-tier exotic beasts, or there would be powerful existences around. It was too dangerous.
If he slowly ground his level up like ordinary beastmasters, heavens knew how long it would take him to achieve high-tier beastmaster. Half a year, or perhaps even a whole year, wouldn’t be an exaggeration!
“Hah, in that case, thank you, Uncle Huang! I was just fretting over being unable to find places with many mid-tier exotic beasts!”
Huang Juyun chuckled. He continued, “Alright, you rest up for a few days first. When my men are done sorting the information, I’ll have them send it to you.”
There were countless spatial gateways within the borders of Hua Xia. Huang Juyun could only obtain the information by using his connections in the military. Afterwards, he had to consolidate them and sort them accordingly, and from there, find out places suitable for Zhang Che to go to.
With all these miscellaneous matters added together, how could it be done without a few days’ time?
Zhang Che was happy to rest a few days at home, too. He’d take an ice and fire body tempering pill every other day to refine his body, and at the same time, help Huang Tielan obtain a large amount of low-tier beast cards. He’d use his data eyes to look up and write down the most optimal beast card cultivation fluid’s concoction recipe for her.
Now that Huang Tielan had become an official beast card cultivator, she had to keep practicing. So, whenever she had no classes, or during the nights, she’d return to the lab and carry out her experiments enthusiastically.
Mhm, with that passion, Zhang Che believed she would get better and develop into an experienced beast card cultivator in a very short amount of time!
