Given the Huang familys strength, it wasnt like they couldnt hunt a high-tier epic-quality exotic beast by themselves. However, they needed to gather many high-tier beastmasters for an operation like this, and it was likely casualties would appear among them, too.

Moreover, epic-quality exotic beasts were usually very good at escaping. Once they realized the situation wasnt going well for them, theyd run for their lives. Without overwhelming power, it was very difficult to kill such an exotic beast.

The two generations of the Huang family had been sympathetic to their subordinates. Naturally they werent willing to risk sacrificing their people just to hunt an epic-quality exotic beast.

If one of their own had the ability to hunt high-quality exotic beasts, however, that was another story! However, in all these years, only Grandpa Huang had killed an epic-quality exotic beast by chance and obtained an epic-quality beast card.

That beast card had always been with Grandpa Huang as he kept watch in Bei Du, ensuring the Huang family wasnt provoked by others.

Since Zhang Che had the ability to hunt epic-quality exotic beasts, although Huang Juyun was embarrassed to directly ask for his help, once he expressed his meaning, naturally Zhang Che agreed to help.

Truthfully speaking, even before advancing to Tier Seven beastmaster, Zhang Che totally had the ability to hunt epic-quality exotic beasts, especially after the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragons flight speed rose to Mach 2. Most epic-quality exotic beasts wouldnt have a chance of escaping.

Now that Zhang Che had risen to Tier Seven and grown even stronger, he was even more confident in doing so. Of course, epic-quality exotic beasts werent so easily found. This matter had to be put on hold until Huang Juyun gathered information and picked out a suitable target for him. Only then would Zhang Che enter the beast world and help his father-in-law get what was needed to put up appearances in front of others.

But, the Huang familys reserves on high-end combat forces is really a little too low. They are reluctant to even take the risk to hunt epic-quality exotic beasts; theyre a little too kind

Although Zhang Che didnt agree with their way of doing things, he was rather impressed by how the Huang family adhered to the principle of human lives being more important than everything else.

Only this kind of clan could nurture someone as approachable and gentle as Huang Tielan, not showing any of the arrogance common to nobles.

Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, this virtue of hers really didnt have much connection to that. At the very least, Miss Tienan had two good-for-nothing male cousins from the main house. Their talents were ordinary, unable to become high-tier beastmasters even though they were already in their twenties. Not only that, they were extremely cowardly, not daring to venture into the depths of the beast worlds.

If Zhang Che hadnt gotten together with Huang Tielan, the Huang family was destined to gradually decline. At the very least, Huang Juyun wouldnt have been promoted to lieutenant general!

After dinner, Zhang Che came to the herbal field once more, and was strolling through the faint aroma of the herbs when Huang Tielan gave him a call.

Zhang Xiaoche, Ive gathered all the ingredients! Huang Tielan sounded very excited and proud of herself.

Although the Purple Jade Condor and the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commanders levels werent high, and their qualities werent at the highest, the two beast cards required a few very rare ingredients in their recipes.

Huang Tielan had travelled around the whole Bei Du market over the past two days, spending a ton of effort before finally gathering all the necessary ingredients, and immediately calling Zhang Che to be praised for her work.

Youve found all the ingredients? Alright, then! Ill rush back first thing tomorrow morning. You study the two beast cards recipe first and memorize the steps so you wont make a mistake tomorrow!

Zhang Che was very excited to learn that Huang Tielan had gathered all the ingredients needed, and was greatly looking forward to tomorrow.

The significance of concocting the cultivation fluid was very different this time.

If she succeeded, it meant that Huang Tielans skills in concocting cultivation fluids had greatly improved again, and she had become an experienced intermediate beast card cultivator. Also, Zhang Che could then start to slowly gather the ingredients in the cultivation fluid recipes for his legend-quality subdued beasts!

When Huang Tielans skills improved even further, and his legend-quality subdued beasts were at that quality for a long enough time, he could proceed to improve those subdued beasts strength at the same time!

Zhang Ches plan was to not delay the upgrade of any of his high-quality beast cards, and keep improving them to their peak!

As for his pets, although they couldnt use this method to increase their levels, Zhang Che wasnt in a hurry. With the exception of the Umbra Wind God Leopard, who was too picky of an eater, the rest of his pets could advance through consuming high-grade spiritual herbs. In the future, he only needed to spend time in the secret plane to search for the herbs; hed definitely find suitable high-grade spiritual herbs for them!

The next morning, Huang Juyun was in his uniform, bearing two stars on his shoulder as he headed to Xinjing Citys military headquarters to officially take up his post, becoming the commanding officer and entering the ranks of the upper echelon of the military.

In this chaotic age, a major general was a little lacking. It could hardly be considered a high-ranking officer.

After all, among the military factions, as long as ones strength reached a certain standard, they could obtain the honorary rank of major general. As a result, it made the rank less impressive.

Take Zhang Che, for example. With his current strength, if he was willing to enter any department of the military, hed definitely be able to obtain the honorary rank of major general.

Alas, Zhang Ches ambition lay elsewhere. He couldnt stand the restrictions, not to mention he had too many secrets of his own. It wasnt a good idea to reveal his strength in front of others. It would be too easy to expose some of his secrets!

Huang Juyun went off to the military in Xinjing City early in the morning. When Zhang Che woke up, he went to the canteen at the herbal research institute, ate a simple breakfast, then packed up his belongings and returned to Bei Du.

What surprised him was that before he left, some of the herbal research institute staff actually came to see him off very warmly.

It was most likely because of the seafood feast yesterday, which had greatly improved their opinion of Zhang Che.

After all, the ingredients for the feast yesterday really were not cheap! Zhang Che would surely be a very generous and amiable boss in the future if he was willing to share with the staff without hesitation!

After thanking the staff who came to send him off, Zhang Che got into the staff car and sped off to Xinjing Citys military base.

The Xinjing City military base was on high alert today. All the soldiers on duty stood at attention like statues, and there were even some high-tier beastmasters on standby in the dark. If any unexpected situations occurred, theyd immediately summon out their powerful subdued beasts to deal with any possible dangers.

Today was their commanding officers first day at his new position, after all. Naturally the soldiers had to put on their best display.

It went without saying Zhang Che wasnt interested in any of this. After passing through three checkpoints, he directly entered Dijiang-hao and started its engine. The private sky shuttle slowly gained altitude. After reaching a certain height, it suddenly accelerated, piercing further into the skies diagonally, heading off in Bei Dus direction.
