Divine Beast Adventures - Chapter 572

Edited by Aelryinth

Seeing the rainbow spiritual fruit on the table, Huang Juyun thought to himself, –Looks like Zhang Che that brat isn’t the only one with ridiculous luck. Our Lanlan isn’t any worse!-

In the past, although Zhang Che would always bring back shocking rewards from the beast world, it had never been something this astonishing.

However, the last time he had only stayed in the beast world for a few days with their precious Lanlan, and they brought back pieces of spiritual crystals, their value immeasurable.

This time wasn’t any worse, either!

Although Huang Juyun had no idea exactly what herb this spiritual fruit was, he was in charge of the Huang family’s herbal research institute. He was a great authority in judging the grades of spiritual herbs.

Taking into account the delicate fragrance and the color of the spiritual fruit, he was sure the fruit’s grade was extremely high. He had never seen a spiritual herb of this grade in his life before.

“Daddy, do you know what this spiritual fruit is?” Huang Tielan hurriedly asked when she saw the astonishment on Huang Juyun’s face.

Although she and Zhang Che knew this thing wasn’t simple, given their knowledge, they simply had no idea exactly what this fruit was.

Huang Juyun stared at the rainbow spiritual fruit once more at her questioning. After some time, he shook his head slightly, saying, “I don’t know. I have never seen this kind of spiritual fruit in the information database of any spiritual herbs. But, I’m sure that this is definitely the highest grade of all of the spiritual herbs I have ever seen.

“You said there was an epic-quality exotic beast guarding this herb when you found it. So, we can be sure that it had an extremely high chance of advancing to divine-quality if it consumed this spiritual fruit!”

“What? It’s actually that amazing!?” Huang Tielan’s mouth went wide from shock when she heard that. The exotic beast meat she had just stuffed into her mouth even fell out.

It was actually able to let an epic-quality exotic beast advance to divine-quality! Although it only granted a chance, the efficacy of the rainbow spiritual fruit was already extremely shocking.

“Then, Uncle Huang, if we can use this spiritual fruit as the main ingredient and pair it with some other spiritual herbs, wouldn’t we be able to concoct pills with incredible efficacy?”

Zhang Che immediately realized the worth of this spiritual fruit. Letting his subdued beasts or pets directly consume them would be the most primitive method of using the fruit.

After all, success wasn’t guaranteed. If the beast failed to advance, they would have completely wasted the efficacy of the spiritual fruit.

Facing such an invaluable spiritual herb, they couldn’t afford the tiniest risk!

Huang Juyun cast a glance at Zhang Che in admiration. He nodded, saying, “That’s right, but before that we have to study and understand the attributes of this spiritual fruit first. Only then can we use it in the concoction of pills.

“How about this? Since the matters in Bei Du are pretty much done, we’ll head to Xinjing tomorrow and let the herbal research institute staff immediately start researching and experimenting on the fruit. If everything goes well, I estimate we’ll find out everything about the fruit’s attributes in a month at the most.”

The three started looking forward to this.

If they succeeded in concocting pills with the rainbow spiritual fruit as the main ingredient, no matter if the end product was meant for beasts or beastmasters, it’d have incredible effects in raising the Huang family’s strength!

Sighing, Zhang Che suddenly thought of another matter. He quickly took out the spiritual fruit’s base plant from his spatial storage and said, “Oh, right, Uncle Huang. This is the spiritual fruit’s plant. It didn’t wither away when it bore the rainbow fruit, so I dug it out and brought it back to see if we can grow it when we return to the herbal field. It’ll be incredibly beneficial to us if we can reproduce this kind of spiritual fruit.”

However, Huang Juyun shook his head slightly when he heard that. He said, “It’s not so simple. Even if heavenly treasures like this didn’t wither away immediately after bearing fruit, all of its essence will have been transferred into the fruit. Even if we can keep it alive and regrow it, I’m afraid it would be very difficult for it to bear fruit again.

“But, that is not a certainty. We have spiritual crystals, after all. Those things are the best tonics for spiritual herbs. Perhaps they might really be able to make this spiritual herb bear fruit again.”

After a short pause, Huang Juyun showed a hint of hope and continued, “When we arrive at Xinjing tomorrow, we’ll immediately transplant this spiritual herb onto the largest spiritual crystal. Whether it’ll bloom and bear fruit in the end will depend on fate.”

——

That night, Zhang Che didn’t stay at the Huang family’s ancestral house. He was afraid he couldn’t endure it and would sneak into Huang Tielan’s room. It’d be bad if his father-in-law learned of that. After all, they weren’t married.

Since that was so, he decided to return home, in case he couldn’t resist the temptation.

The next day, Zhang Che piloted Dijiang-hao and headed straight to Jingzhou with Huang Juyun.

They couldn’t delay the matter regarding the spiritual fruit for even a moment. It was better the earlier they started research on it.

As for Huang Tielan, it was already the school holidays since she had taken such a long absence. She needed to get back to take a make-up exam, and thus didn’t follow Zhang Che and Huang Juyun to Xinjing.

She was extremely unwilling about that. Theywere right in their honeymoon period. They didn’t want to be apart for even a moment, not to mention they wouldn’t be able to meet one another for the next few days.

However, she didn’t dare to show anything in front of her dad, and went to Bei Du University quietly.

—

On the way to Jingzhou Island, Zhang Che chatted with his father-in-law from time to time, recounting the rewards he had gained on his trip to the beast world.

Speaking of which, it was truly a bountiful trip. First, Huang Tielan advanced to Tier Six beastmaster as she had wished, achieving her goal. Second, they also found her a mid-tier legend-quality weapon. It was extremely helpful in increasing her fighting strength.

Last but not least, they were unexpected surprises. The epic-quality subdued beast could no longer be considered a huge surprise. The rainbow spiritual fruit, however, left him unusually excited.

Even so, Zhang Che didn’t feel like there were no regrets on this trip. Exactly why was that?

After pondering for a while with a furrowed brow, he suddenly realized he didn’t obtain a decent armor-type beast card, despite killing so many exotic beasts.

At present, Huang Tielan’s defensive equipment was still the Maneater Leech King leather armor from way back. Although it wasn’t bad, it didn’t match her current strength.

“Looks like I have to think of a way to help get her a good beast card armor, though the Seven Star Silver Beetle armor I put aside previously is barely suitable for her now. It had fulfilled the time requirement for upgrading, but because of its low level, could not do so.

“Hmm, when I’m done with the matters on this side in a few days, I’ll immediately prepare things for concocting cultivation fluid for the Seven Star Silver Beetle when I return to Bei Du. That way, Tielan will immediately have a mid-tier legend-quality beast card armor.”

Of course, this could only be considered as transition equipment.

Given Zhang Che’s standards, he had to get Huang Tielan an epic-quality beast card armor! Legend-quality stuff couldn’t really enter his eyes now…
