“It turns out that there’s innate fire elents deep in the lava pool. No wonder the Scarlet Fla 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 elents 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 elents 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 ntion that once the golden lotus matured, the dical 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 ti; how would he possibly get his hands on the matured spiritual herb?
-One should know contentnt. Let’s just take a look at the Scarlet Fla Drake’s attributes...-

As Zhang Che expected, after the Scarlet Fla Drake’s level and quality rose by a tier, its strength grew imnsely.
First, its defense. This fellow used to be weak to both water and ice-attributed attacks. Now, it was only vulnerable to innate water elental attacks. Normal water elental 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 so ti to do so experints?
For now, he should think about what to do with the golden lotus.
Although Zhang Che wasn’t very knowledgeable, he knew that so spiritual herbs with unique attributes had to be used soon after being picked, or kept in so specially made container. Otherwise, the spiritual strength contained in the herb would quickly fade away, losing its dical efficacy and turning into sothing useless.
The golden lotus was exactly this kind of spiritual herb.
If the Scarlet Fla Drake wasn’t holding the herb’s stem in its mouth and used its innate fire elents to continue nourishing it, perhaps the spiritual herb would lose half of the spiritual strength contained inside it within three hours.
“Co on, Brother Liu, let’s return!” Zhang Che imdiately 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 so ways to handle it.
It wasn’t that Zhang Che never thought about letting one of his other subdued beasts or pets consu the golden lotus, but its attributes were too extre. It was debatable whether his subdued beasts or pets could even withstand the enormous dicinal 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 dicines, or having a fire-attributed subdued beast consu 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 as their successor, would they make marry into their family?¹
-Ugh, just thinking about it scares . I heard those who marry into the bride’s family are looked down upon the most!
-Since ancient tis, the only one who went on to beco successful as soone 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 ti and directly summoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. Everyone, including the Scarlet Fla 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 Fla Drake hopped on, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon obviously felt so uneasiness, showing fear towards the Scarlet Fla Drake’s aura.
It was only then that Zhang Che rembered this fellow’s weakness was innate fire elental attacks.
On the other hand, the Scarlet Fla Drake didn’t pay any heed to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s frozen aura. It seed that unless it was a pure innate water elental beast, nothing else would threaten the Scarlet Fla 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 ti 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 imdiately 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 ti 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 ho.
——
Huang Juyun personally ca to receive them at the aircraft parking ground. First, he looked at the Scarlet Fla Drake, a little stunned, then focused his gaze onto the golden lotus. After sensing it, he imdiately 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, soone brought a squarish fiery red stone box over, and carefully put the golden lotus inside.
“Xiaoche, I’ll take this golden lotus and do so research on its dical efficacy. Using this to raise a subdued beast’s level is too much of a waste. If it could be concocted into dicine, 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 sothing 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 rember 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 dicinal pills with the effects of extending one’s longevity. Even ordinary human can withstand the dicinal strength. Take one portion back with you; treat it as a present from us to your mother.”
