After walking out of the airport, Zhang Che made a call to his mother, and learned that his great-aunt and the others had gone back to Tian Xing City.

This left him with no choice but to hold off on telling his mother about his plan. It was better to talk to her in person about such an important matter after returning home, then have her contact Sun Shaoying to ask about her opinion.

Even after they agreed to it, Zhang Che still had to scout for a shop, renovate it, register the business, and a bunch of other administrative work to take care of.

Zhang Che proceeded to call Huang Tielan. Now that the school term had officially started, she was at her busiest. Even her meals and accomodations were at school. She probably wouldn’t have the time to come back except on weekends.

What Zhang Che felt the most gratified about was that during this period of time, her hard work had led to a tremendous improvement in her studies of beast card concoction fluid recipes. She could now correctly point out at least two ingredients from the recipes Zhang Che left behind for those low-tier exotic beast cards. Her best result was getting five ingredients correct for a rather ordinary beast card.

If she continued improving at this pace, Huang Tielan would become an official elementary beast card cultivator within a year.

Not only that, but with Zhang Che’s help, Miss Tienan’s improvement would only get faster and faster.

Perhaps one day she just might become the best beast card cultivator in the world!

Who knows? Maybe she would even reach that height before Zhang Che became the strongest beastmaster!

At that time, their family would consist of the strongest beastmaster, and the most outstanding beast card cultivator. They would simply be the most perfect couple!

Thinking of that, Zhang Che couldn’t resist showing a wistful smile on his face.

When Zhang Che got home, he told Sun Lan about his idea.

“You’re saying you want to open a beast card shop in Bei Du, and have your great-aunt’s family help manage it?” Sun Lan’s eyes shone excitedly after hearing what Zhang Che said.

She immediately understood her son’s intentions.

First, he could help their family and provide them with a better life. Second, when they came to Bei Du, Sun Lan wouldn’t have to stay at home alone all the time. With friends and family around, she could go out more often. Naturally it would be much better than her current situation.

“Sure, I’ll contact your great-aunt right away, and see what they think of it.”

Seeing her son being so sensible and thinking of her well-being, Sun Lan felt very gratified. She immediately opened her personal terminal and called Sun Shaoying.

After hearing Sun Lan’s proposal, Sun Shaoying was excited too!

However, this matter concerned her family’s living environment in the future. She couldn’t possibly make a decision right then. Therefore, she stated that she’d have a discussion with her family that night before giving Sun Lan an answer.

“Xiaoche, your great-aunt will discuss the matter tonight before deciding whether to come over or not. But I think they will probably agree to it. Your aunt and the others are only working ordinary jobs. It’s nothing much for them to change jobs. The main thing is your Uncle Wenshan’s girlfriend. Her family had been against their relationship from the start. Perhaps this opportunity might loosen them up!” Sun Lan was very optimistic about this.

Zhang Che nodded, not saying a word. This was only a little kind intention from him. If they were truly unwilling to migrate here, it was nothing to him.

Given his fortune, if his mother was sick of staying here, she could totally take a sky shuttle flight to Tian Xing City to have fun for a few days whenever she wanted to.

After eating lunch at home with his mother, Zhang Che contacted his future father-in-law. Huang Juyun happened to be in Bei Du for some matter, and Zhang Che immediately drove over to the Huang’s ancestral home.

Keeping the spiritual jade with him would be a waste of its value. It was better to let them handle it to maximize its worth.

Moreover, there was that snow lotus, too. Zhang Che didn’t understand its properties at all. It would be too much of a waste if he just fed it to his babies like that. GIving it to his father-in-law to have his men research it and hopefully concoct some pills would be for the best.

When he arrived at the Huang family’s ancestral home, Zhang Che first greeted the two Huang elders, then followed Huang Juyun to the front hall.

“You’re acting all mysterious. Did you obtain something good in the beast world again and want to show off?” Huang Juyun had already guessed Zhang Che had discovered some treasure which he didn’t really understand and wanted him to take a look at it, and so teased him about it.

“Hehe, I really did obtain two items, and wanted to have Uncle Huang help take a look at them.” Zhang Che didn’t put on airs. With a chuckle, he waved his hand and brought out the spiritual jade and the snow lotus growing on top of it.

Huang Juyun’s attention was drawn to the snow lotus the moment it appeared. He walked up to it to take a closer look, and even took a whiff at it. He exclaimed, “Hmm? This flower is extraordinary!”

“What do you think about the flower, Uncle Huang? How does it compare to the scarlet lotus from last time?” Zhang Che asked with an anticipatory look.

However, Huang Juyun shook his head slightly and said, “Not quite as good. That fire lotus grew by absorbing the essence of innate fire elements. It was a top-tier spiritual herb. Although this snow lotus doesn’t look simple either, it is just a little worse.”

After a short pause, a hint of doubt showed on his face. He asked, “Right, didn’t you say you got two items? Where’s the other? Quickly take it out, don’t leave me hanging!”

At present, the roots of the snow lotus had grown so dense that the entire spiritual jade was covered by them. Huang Juyun didn’t notice the priceless treasure hidden right under his nose at all!

Zhang Che’s lips drew back into a smile. He didn’t say anything and took two steps forward, reaching out for the snow lotus and parted the roots, revealing a gap below. The translucent, beautiful spiritual jade was immediately revealed.

“Eh? This…”

In the instant the small corner of the spiritual jade was revealed, Huang Juyun’s eyes immediately went wide. He crouched down in disbelief and took a closer look. Afterwards, his whole body started trembling.

Huang Juyun had an agitated expression. He turned around to look at Zhang Che, asking him with great anticipation, “Th-this, this… the whole chunk underneath is the same?”

Zhang Che nodded, “Of course. If it wasn’t, why would I bring it along?”

“Attaboy, you’re really something!” Huang Juyun slapped down hard on Zhang Che’s shoulder excitedly. He said excitedly, “Xiaoche, Uncle has something to discuss with you. Can you loan this thing to me for a period of time? There are some immature spiritual herbs at the herbal research institute. The researchers have spent countless efforts on them, but the spiritual herbs are barely growing in the lab, with no hopes of maturing at all. If we have this spiritual jade, we’ll surely be able to concoct much better pills!”

Zhang Che shook his head slightly. He chuckled, “Look what you’re saying! What do you mean by renting? Just use it as you want. There’s no way for me to bring out a greater value of it other than selling it off. But, I only hope that if the lab produces any pills that is beneficial for ordinary people, like extending their lifespan or whatever, please do keep a portion for me.”

“Hahaha, great! I wasn’t wrong about you!” Huang Juyun patted Zhang Che’s shoulder again, saying with a bright expression, “Take it as our Huang family borrowing the spiritual jade from you. If there’s any new products at the lab, just take however many you want. Treat it as rent! Hahahaha!…”
