Shortly after Dijiang-hao entered Jingzhou’s borders, it was picked up by the military’s radar. Huang Juyun contacted Zhang Che through the military’s communication system, telling him that two jets would immediately come guide him to Xinjing City.

“I knew it…”

Zhang Che couldn’t help but curse silently inside. Unsurprisingly, the stealth upgrades on Dijiang-hao couldn’t hide from the military’s radar. Dijiang-hao’s information must have been entered into the military’s database, and as long as he was still within Hua Xia’s territory, he wouldn’t be able to hide from them.

Although he felt a little dissatisfied about that, Zhang Che didn’t care. Naturally the military wouldn’t allow any aircraft to fly Hua Xia’s skies without eyes on them. It would be too naive of Zhang Che to think he could ignore everything just because Dijiang-hao had two layers of stealth systems installed.

Even if the Huang family was a faction from the military, they had to obey the rules!

Since Jingzhou’s military would send jets to guide him, Zhang Che had Dijiang-hao slow down. After waiting a few minutes, two of the latest jets came flying in at high speed, appearing on the horizon and sending a signal to Zhang Che. Afterwards, they drew an arc in the sky and flew southwest.

Dijiang-hao followed closely behind. After another half hour of flying, a huge city entered Zhang Che’s sight, surrounded by mountains.

This was most likely Xinjing City.

Indeed, the two guiding jets slowly decelerated and lost altitude, descending towards a corner of the city.

Dijiang-hao landed in Xinjing City’s military airport. Zhang Che walked out of the cabin. A beast-armored military vehicle was already waiting outside, together with a young officer with a captain’s insignia on his shoulders.

Seeing Zhang Che coming out, the captain immediately stood at attention and saluted, “Sir, please get in the car. Commander Huang is waiting for you at the new herbal research institute.”

-Hmm? He’s calling me sir? I don’t remember serving time in the military before..?- Zhang Che found it strange. He didn’t expect to be called that.

Although it was strange, Zhang Che didn’t feel he wasn’t worthy of being addressed like that. Given his strength, he was totally comparable to other powerful high-tier beastmasters.

In a world where strength was above all, like the new age, becoming an honorary colonel was nothing if Zhang Che wanted to develop in the military.

What surprised him even more was how the Captain addressed Huang Juyun.

-Commander Huang? Since when did father-in-law become a commanding officer?-

—

Half an hour later, Zhang Che met Huang Juyun at the new herbal research institute, and finally learned that his father-in-law had applied to be transferred to Xinjing City’s military to be in a position to take care of their herbal field, which was bound to be expanded to a massive scale in the future. He had taken on the position as the commanding officer.

In other words, hadn’t his father-in-law received a promotion?

“Congratulations, Uncle Huang. When you formally take office, you should be a Lieutenant General then, right?”

Xinjing City was currently the second largest city in all of Jingzhou. There were a dozen smaller cities and towns in its surrounding area. The military divisions here would naturally have different specifications, and thus a Lieutenant General or higher would hold the position of commanding officer.

Huang Juyun smiled, not speaking about this topic.

Ultimately, his promotion to Lieutenant General was, to a very large extent, thanks to the merits of this prospective son-in-law!

Previously, when Zhang Che had submitted the relevant information regarding exotic beast genetic evolution fluid, although he was the one entered into the list of protected people in Hua Xia, from another perspective, it was the Huang family’s merits as well!

It was only that Huang Juyun’s seniority at that time was a little low, and he wasn’t promoted immediately. However, just recently, the Huang family developed a new series of medicinal pills using spiritual honey as the catalyst, together with dozens of spiritual herbs and some materials gathered from exotic beasts. The higher-ups immediately attached importance to this matter.

Using the matter of the Huang family’s relocation of the herbal research institute, in addition to Huang Juyun himself asking to be transferred, the higher-ups of the military decided to go along with it and promoted him to the position of division commander of Xinjing’s military forces.

During the past few days, Huang Juyun had been busy with the relocation of the herbal research institute, and had yet to take office. When he was done with the matters here in a few days, he’d receive his promotion to Lieutenant General formally and settle into his new position as the commanding officer.

“Come, come! A large piece of the land for the new herbal field has been dug already. We’re just waiting for your spiritual herbs now.” Huang Juyun said with a smile, pulling Zhang Che over to the edge of the uncultivated land, pointing to a corner of dug soil.

The spiritual herbs from Bei Du had all been transplanted to that corner. Although their environment had suddenly changed, with the spiritual jade buried in the soil, the herbs showed no signs of withering. Instead, due to the improved weather, they seemed even livelier.

In this corner of the herbal field, about seven hundred square meters of soil had been dug up. It was prepared for the spiritual herbs Zhang Che brought back from the beast world, ready to be transplanted the moment he took them out.

Zhang Che’s mouth opened slightly in surprise at the sight. -Damn. Father-in-law is really confident of me! About seven hundred square meters of land is prepared; how many spiritual herbs does it take to fill that up?-

Fortunately, he had gotten control of a secret plane by chance, and could obtain countless spiritual herbs from it. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have so many spiritual herbs laying in his spatial storage after only about two weeks’ time in the beast world.

It was precisely because Zhang Che spent almost all his time hunting exotic beasts that he managed to advance to Tier Seven beastmaster so quickly. Heavens knew when he’d achieve that goal otherwise…

“Uncle Huang, where do I find so many spiritual herbs to fill such a big plot of land?” Zhang Che showed a bitter expression. With a wave of his hand, he took out every spiritual herb he dug out last night from the secret plane from his spatial storage, forming a small pile on the ground.

“Look, I only got this much this time. I’m afraid it’s impossible to fill up seven hundred square meters of land.”

Seeing Zhang Che bringing out a pile of spiritual herbs at one go, although they were all low-grade stuff, Huang Juyun smiled brightly nonetheless, laughing, “Not bad, not bad! Although it’s not enough to fill the land, we have plenty of time ahead! We can slowly fill it up going forward!”

Huang Juyun knew Zhang Che had a subdued beast with the ability to sense spiritual herbs. As long as he travelled around in the beast worlds, would he need to worry about not finding enough spiritual herbs?

Zhang Che was directly left speechless. -It’s all my fault for being a loudmouth Why did I have to say it is easy for me to find spiritual herbs?

-Although it is indeed very easy for me to obtain spiritual herbs now, I cannot let anyone else find out about this, or I’ll have to change my occupation to herb digger…-

It went without saying that Huang Juyun and Zhang Che didn’t have to do the transplanting of the spiritual herbs themselves. At their command, the staff waiting at the side immediately went to work with various equipment, sweating it out on the seven hundred square meters of cultivated land.

“Come with me. The herbal research institute had used spiritual honey as a catalytic agent and developed a new body tempering pill. After conducting tests, it was found that their effects are really decent. You’ve entered the ranks of high-tier beastmaster, as well; from now on, you can use this type of body tempering pill in conjunction with your spiritual force to temper your body. The results will surely be much better.”

Huang Juyun brought Zhang Che into the research institute, leading him through a secret room with tight security. He took out a fist-sized white jade bottle from a huge safe made from metals from the beast worlds, then put it in Zhang Che’s hand.

-A new body tempering pill, huh?- Zhang Che’s eyes lit up. After receiving the bottle, he directly twisted the stopper open. The faint fragrance of medicine immediately spread from the bottle.
