Zhang Che was sitting on the chair by the bedside, a crude table in front of him with a stack of one-star black iron cards laid on it in a horizontal line. He was wearing an eager smile as he looked them over.

These one-star black iron Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly cards were his gains from today.

At first, he had suddenly saw a huge swarm of butterflies about the size of a palm-leaf fan with flowery patterns on them that made him shiver. Zhang Che was even frightened at the sight, afraid that this flying mob would be powerful. Even if he had four beasts at his command, it was impossible to handle them.

Even after he saw the garbage attributes of the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterflies, he was still worried. That was because they were actually beasts that used poison attacks to cause hallucinations. Who knows if his beasts could withstand it?

Fortunately, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterflies were very low level and quality. Although their poison powder caused some troubles for his Fiery Scorpion and other beasts, they were still unable to avoid the fate of being hunted by Zhang Che’s beasts.

Of course, Zhang Che was hiding a distance away during the entire process. He was at the limits of the distance where he could still effectively control his beasts, issuing orders remotely to his four beasts to kill all of the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterflies.

The swarm of Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterflies numbered several dozen, and in the end, contributed a total of eighteen beast cards to Zhang Che!

According to Zhang Che’s original plans, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly cards were supposed to be sold.

However, after considering the unique attack method of this beast, his heart was swayed into keeping them.

Although the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s strength was a little weak, he had the heaven-defying fusion skill!

The most important factor was the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s potential. They were the highest Zhang Che had seen thus far, at a terrifying B rank, which could be upgraded four times!

In other words, in terms of its level, as long as Zhang Che’s fusion skill continued to advance, he could obtain a five-star mid-tier beast card in the end!

When it reached that level, would the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s hallucination-inducing attack still be weak?

The answer was, obviously not!

With such expectations in his heart, Zhang Che picked up two Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly cards from the table and activated the fusion skill. In the next moment, he saw the two beast cards being shrouded in a mysterious energy, suddenly turning into rays of light and quickly fusing into one.

In just the time it took for a few breaths, the light faded, leaving a brand new beast card in Zhang Che’s palm.

Seeing as there were some changes on the beast card, Zhang Che felt some slight joy in his heart.

Sure enough, it works!

Compared to a one-star Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly, there was the additional word ‘strong’ on the two-star Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s attributes. Obviously the effects of the hallucination-inducing powder had become more potent.

As long as he fused a five-star Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly in the future, the effects of its poison powder would definitely rise to an unimaginable level.

But what a pity; in order to advance the fusion skill to level 2, a lot more experience points were needed.

Looking at the fusion skill, it had become Level 1 (Experience 1/100).

-As expected, I still need to fuse 99 more times to increase its level. In other words, I still need 198 one-star or two-star cards at the very least.-

Such a number didn’t seem like much, but still required a certain amount of time to accumulate that many beast cards.

The key was that it would only get much harder in order to further increase its level.

After all, a one-star beast was easy to kill, but the same couldn’t be said for three-star beasts.

When the time came that a large amount of four-star beast cards were needed, the difficulty would shoot through the skies.

However, these were all matters to be taken into consideration in the future. Zhang Che continued fusing the remaining one-star Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly cards. In the end, he got a total of nine two-star black iron cards.

“Such a pity that the fusion skill could only raise the level of a beast card, and not its quality. Otherwise, with the superb potential of the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly, it could be upgraded into a tier even higher than gold quality. How strong would that be? I don’t even dare to imagine…”

A beast’s strength was not only determined by its level. The more important factor was its quality.

From what Zhang Che currently knew, a beast’s quality in ascending order was as follows: black iron, bronze, silver, gold…

As for higher tiers than gold, they were something Zhang Che had no idea about.

However, based on his current understanding, a one-star bronze beast’s strength was comparable to a two-star black iron beast.

As for a one-star gold beast, its strength was even higher than a three-star bronze beast!

If it wasn’t for the fact that a beast’s strength would experience a great leap every three ranks, a one-star gold beast would be much stronger than a four-star black iron beast.

From this, one could see that the quality of a beast had a decisive influence on its strength.

Zhang Che’s gaze was locked onto a beast card. Looking at the Cultivating Directions attribute, it was followed by a string of ellipsis. He couldn’t help but think, -What does a string of dots mean? Since there is such an attribute, why doesn’t it show the details of a beast’s cultivating directions?-

Just as such thoughts entered Zhang Che’s mind, the ellipsis after Cultivating Directions actually started fading away from his vision, and a string of words took its place.

Zhang Che first felt ecstatic, but when he saw the required materials, his eyes dimmed.

Ghost Grass, Yin Condensing Water, Spirit Clouding Mushroom……

Alright, Zhang Che had never heard of any of the materials listed there, let alone seen them.

Although humans had started venturing into the beast worlds over thirty years ago, and scientists and botanists had also gradually started researching the vegetation found in there, the plants belonged to a completely different system from Mercury. How hard was it to actually yield results from their research?

This was also why, although the occupation beast cultivator already existed, with restrictions on all fronts, there were very few beast cultivators who could raise the quality of a beast card.

With a success rate of 1%, one could already be counted an official beast cultivator. When their success rate reached 5%, they could be considered as slightly reputable beast cultivators.

After all, in order to become a beast cultivator, not only do they have to be well versed in the characteristics of many plants from beast worlds, they also need to know the attributes of most beasts to make an educated guess on the materials they needed to increase their quality!
