Countless strands of fibers extended out from the root of the stem, enveloping the whole of the crystal object.

A spiritual herb grew out of a crystal object, just like that. Who would believe it if Zhang Che talked about it?

If he didn’t see it for himself, Zhang Che was sure that he wouldn’t believe it, either.

So, he immediately started searching through the memories of his predecessor. After about a quarter of an hour, he finally recalled the name of this crystal, as well as its effects.

Spiritual Jade was the name given to this mysterious crystal by the humans on Mercury.

The name didn’t sound like anything special, but its effects were especially heaven-defying.

It was just like how Zhang Che discovered it. By burying the spiritual jade in the earth, then planting a spiritual herb with its roots intact above it, it would allow the immature spiritual herbs to continue growing, until it was fully matured.

Not only that, according to the information in his memories, the publicly known biggest spiritual jade in the world was only about a cubic foot in size, said to be owned by a large faction in the Ou Lu region. Its estimated value was over a hundred million… in purple crystal points, to boot!

The spiritual jade Zhang Che discovered was in an uneven oval shape. The widest section was over a meter across, and the narrowest area was also over half a meter across!

“How many purple crystal points is this worth!?”

Once again, Zhang Che really hated his poor math skills. Even with the golden vortex greatly improving his thinking skills, these things that involved general knowledge weren’t something he could understand by having faster thinking.

He could make a rough estimation. At the very least, this spiritual jade was worth over a billion purple crystal points!

It sounded like a huge fortune, but it wouldn’t be easy to convert it into liquid assets. Moreover, his father-in-law’s family seemed to be well-versed in this area. If he were to find out Zhang Che sold off such a treasure, he might beat Zhang Che to death in a fit of anger!

-Hmm, when I return to Hua Xia, I’ll rent this out to father-in-law. The amount of rent I can earn a year would be astronomical! Hehehe…-

“Shit!” Zhang Che suddenly thought of something, and his face immediately sank.

That snow lotus seemed to have yet to fully mature, but he had cut it off from the stem down. There was no chance to continue nurturing it anymore.

A spiritual herb of this level would be at least twice as effective if it was fully matured!

Zhang Che felt his heart ache, and felt as if he couldn’t breathe. But, no one could have thought that such a big piece of spiritual jade would be underneath, right?

Zhang Che could only console himself that way in the end. Afterwards, he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise dig out the spiritual jade and stored it in its spatial pocket.

Not only that, after digging out the spiritual jade, Zhang Che didn’t leave it at that. He directly had the Purple Crystal Tortoise enter the body of this mountain to search carefully, hoping to find more treasures.

Alas, the results were disappointing.

The spiritual qi on this mountain, or perhaps even this entire area, must have gathered onto that large spiritual jade. How could there be any other precious minerals nearby?

“One mustn’t be too greedy…” Zhang Che sighed, shaking his head. He summoned the Purple Jade Condor, flying deeper into the beast world.

His harvests on this trip were already surprisingly plentiful.

Originally, he only thought he found a spiritual herb. In the end, it came together with a unique type of exotic beast, giving the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon a sumptuous meal. The biggest surprise was the discovery of that piece of spiritual jade. This wasn’t only an astronomical amount of purple crystal points. It would also be an extraordinary driving factor for the Huang family’s rise in strength in the future.

Zhang Che even fantasized about his future father-in-law possibly marrying Miss Tienan off to him when he brought out the spiritual jade, to fully secure Zhang Che to the Huang family’s train!

In that case, there was a chance of seeing what Miss Tienan would look like after putting on that soft armor.

-Tsk, I can’t continue thinking like that, or I’ll get a nosebleed…-

The Purple Jade Condor sped along in the sky, passing by countless mountains and rivers.

Finally… hah, of course he hadn’t reached where the giant stone man was. Zhang Che was still close to ten thousand kilometers away from that area. How could he possibly reached there so quickly?

Finally, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was done digesting his food.

Zhang Che looked around below him. There were barely any traces of beastmasters in his surroundings. He decided to have the Purple Jade Condor land in a dense mountain forest and summoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

Looking at the dragon, Zhang Che’s lips immediately spread, and he laughed out loud.

After fully digesting the exotic snake’s energy, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had risen from five stars to six stars. Not only did his basic combat strength double, the power of his abyssal cold air had increased significantly, too!

As for his quality… forget about it. With just that little snake, Zhang Che would be happy enough to see an increase in star tier; why even think about an increase in quality?

Even the rainbow crystal wasn’t able to bring about an increase in quality directly for any beast. It could be well imagined what an enormous amount of energy was required to achieve it.

So, Zhang Che was already very satisfied with what he got.

“With that, Hanming has finally become the strongest of my pets. His question-mark potential attribute wasn’t in vain. It seems like his future development is very worth looking forward to!”

Although Zhang Che didn’t know how far the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon could develop, but it should be above divine-quality at the very least, right?

After all, he had a question mark for his potential attribute. Zhang Che had only seen that one other time, on that exotic beast the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon consumed back then. Even the Umbra Wind God Leopard, who similarly had an extraordinarily high potential, was within the normal limits.

It was a pity, however. Only the heavens knew how long it would take for those two babies to evolve to above divine-quality.

The rise from gold-quality to dark gold-quality alone took three whole months. As for the amount of time needed for the upgrades further down, just thinking about it left his scalp feeling numb.

Since there were hardly any traces of beastmasters’ activity in the area, Zhang Che no longer cared much and directly rode on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, flying off towards his destination.

The Purple Jade Condor was a little too slow for him, not to mention Zhang Che couldn’t really handle the strong wind resistance when it flew at top speed. The comfort level was far from comparable to riding on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon…

——

Time passed quickly. By the afternoon, Zhang Che had advanced over a thousand kilometers, and this was under the premise of him carefully avoiding the more dangerous areas. Otherwise, with the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s speed, they would have reached the area where the giant stone man was in a day and a half.

“Hmm? That is…”

When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew pass a large canyon, Zhang Che suddenly discovered an extremely familiar object in his peripheral vision.

He immediately had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon turn back. Looking down with a focused gaze, huge waves instantly rose in his heart.
