After buying clothes, Xiao Haixia took Jun Wangchen around for some more sightseeing, only calling it a day as dusk approached.
Early the next morning, Jun Wangchen bid farewell to the Xiao Family and boarded a helicopter, arriving at the Cloudrise Tribe that afternoon.
It was a tribe nestled among the mountains, devoted primarily to raising Demon Beasts.
Jun Wangchen's main task was to investigate Gao Leizhen, the Pill Sect traitor. After some thought, he decided to join the Cloudrise Tribe temporarily. Outsiders were barred from many places, but becoming a member would make his investigation easier.
After asking around, he learned that joining the Cloudrise Tribe required a one- to two-day assessment period. In other words, he had to help raise Demon Beasts for the tribe. If the beasts he raised met their standards, he would be allowed to join.
For Jun Wangchen, an Alchemist at the peak of Celestial Master Rank, this was far too easy. The Alchemy Art contained many pills for Demon Beasts, more than enough to raise them to the required standard.
With that decided, he completed the formalities and followed a staff member into the Cloudrise Tribe.
The Cloudrise Tribe covered an enormous area, equivalent to two Silent Cities.
Along the way, Jun Wangchen saw plenty of strange plants and beasts.
Soon, the staff member brought him to a place in the Cloudrise Tribe where Demon Beasts were raised.
It was called the Candidate Assessment Area, a place the tribe's elders had set aside specifically to determine whether applicants qualified to join the Cloudrise Tribe.
The moment Jun Wangchen stepped into the Candidate Assessment Area, he frowned.
The air here was foul, thick with the sweaty stench of various beasts.
Fortunately, Jun Wangchen could use his Soul Power to keep the stench at bay.
