I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

The news that the Lin family had officially established their clan at Shattered Star Lake was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples that quickly spread to every corner of the Chuyang City's sphere of influence.

Countless independent cultivators and various powerful families were shaken upon hearing this news.

They never expected that this newcomer would be able to establish itself in the area at such an astonishing speed and demonstrate a formidable foundation.

Lin Che's previous actions in establishing his authority on the ring had already begun to spread the name of the "Lin family".

Now, the bright, ever-flowing spiritual light of the defensive array above Shattered Star Lake, and the spiritual energy environment in the area that is still several times richer and purer than the outside world even after the array locks the spirit, all unequivocally declare to everyone that the Lin family has completely established itself here!

For the next month, Lin Che did not leave Shattered Star Lake even for a moment.

Using the upgraded array's exquisite perception capabilities, he thoroughly surveyed the territory within a fifty-mile radius from top to bottom, inside and out.

His divine sense swept across the woods, lakebed, and rocks inch by inch, like a comb, ensuring that there were no hidden dangers within his territory, such as high-level demonic beasts lurking like the Crimson Flame Tiger.

At the same time, he also carefully investigated whether other forces had secretly set up surveillance arrays or spied on talismans.

This thorough purge was quite effective, and he actually managed to uncover some scattered spying methods from different forces, all of which he easily erased.

In addition, several low-quality Qi Refining stage demonic beasts with undeveloped intelligence were also cleared out. Although they were of little use, their flesh and blood contained spiritual power, which was perfect for taking back to Liu's siblings and Su Wanwan as a treat, making the best use of them.

As for naturally occurring medicinal herbs, their quantity is quite small.

In the past, Shattered Star Lake was only nourished by the faint spiritual energy naturally dissipating from the Hidden Spirit Vein, which could only nurture some low-level spiritual herbs. This was also the biggest shortcoming of this place - its innate resources were relatively scarce.

After a month of careful exploration, apart from the known volcanic branch that could serve as a stable fire source, no other valuable resource points were found.

The only mineral deposit is the moonstone found at the bottom of the lake, which emits a soft blue light under the moonlight.

This stone is only of medium grade one. Its main function is to help cultivators calm their minds and is often used to make jade pendants worn during cultivation. It is not very valuable.

Moreover, the distribution is sparse, making it difficult to form mineral veins with mining value; there is only a thin layer at the bottom of the lake.

After weighing the options, Lin Che decided not to mine them, leaving them in place as a unique night view of Shattered Star Lake.

As night falls and the moonlight shines down, the entire lake surface glows with a dreamy blue light, creating a stunningly beautiful scene. Cultivating here can also bring a sense of peace and tranquility to cultivators, which is itself an intangible value.

Since resources within the territory are limited, then we must create them with our own hands!

Lin Che spent two days drawing up a detailed development plan map for the Shattered Star Lake area, taking into account the terrain and future development needs.

The island in the center of the lake in the core area is designated as the core forbidden area of ​​the family. In the future, it will be the residence and cultivation place of Lin Che and his close relatives. The Nine Heavens Cloud Realm Array will be kept at full power all year round to cover the interior. No one is allowed to enter without permission.

The main lake of Shattered Star Lake, the core breeding area for spirit beasts, is used to breed aquatic and amphibious spirit beasts with large populations or high potential.

The alligator snapping turtle population will continue to inhabit this area, and other complementary aquatic creature populations will be introduced in the future.

The spirit beasts produced here will be given priority to supply the family's future offerings and retainers.

The six satellite lakes of the Spirit Fish Breeding Area: These are six small bodies of water surrounding the main lake. The water is clear and shallow, making them ideal for a dedicated Spirit Fish breeding farm. They will provide the family with a stable supply of meat and low-level resources in the future.

The western part is a comprehensive work area: established based on the earth's fire branch.

In the future, core functional buildings such as the weapon refining hall, alchemy hall, cultivation technique pavilion, and mission hall will be set up here, along with a number of cave dwellings for guest ministers and worshippers to reside in temporarily.

Meanwhile, corresponding management houses will be built near the various spirit fields and animal gardens to facilitate daily care.

Northern Spirit Plant Area: Planned as a large area of ​​spirit fields for large-scale cultivation of spirit rice, spirit herbs and other crops to achieve self-sufficiency in basic resources.

The eastern and southern areas form a comprehensive spirit beast park: the largest area in the plan.

Lin Che's greatest asset is his complete beast taming heritage, and the way of beast taming will be the core pillar for the Lin family's future development.

This place will be used for the large-scale domestication and breeding of various terrestrial and flying mythical beasts.

Edible spirit beasts and spirit beasts that produce spirit items occupy different areas, and the habitats of different species of spirit beasts will also be different.

The blueprint was ready, but how to turn the drawings into reality was a problem that stumped Lin Che for a while.

Whether in his past life or this one, he knew absolutely nothing about civil engineering and architecture.

As he was pondering, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Isn't there a ready-made "professional talent" right in front of us?

With his earth elemental root, isn't Liu Yunzhou a natural expert at "dispelling dust"?

Thinking of this, Lin Che took off on his sword and landed in front of Liu Yunzhou's temporary cave in an instant.

Liu Yunzhou, who was cultivating, noticed someone's visit, immediately stopped his cultivation, got up, and quickly walked out of the cave.

Upon seeing Lin Che, he quickly bowed respectfully, his eyes filled with anticipation: "Patriarch, you've arrived! Is there any task you wish to assign me?"

Lin Che wore a warm smile and did not directly state his purpose. Instead, he took out an item from his beast-taming bag.

This is a spirit beast egg that is entirely earthy yellow in color and naturally covered with mysterious dark blue patterns. The eggshell exudes a steady and heavy earth-elemental spiritual energy fluctuation.

"You've mastered the basics of the 'Myriad Beasts Manual.' This is the natal spirit beast I promised to prepare for you." Lin Che handed over the spirit beast egg.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunzhou's face instantly lit up with undisguised joy. He quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the warm egg with both hands.

His voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Thank you so much for your kindness, Patriarch! Yunzhou will certainly nurture it well!"

"This egg comes from the Ironclad Alligator Turtle clan in the lake," Lin Che introduced with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of expectation. "But its bloodline has undergone a positive leap, making it the only Alligator Turtle in the clan to have advanced to the middle-grade third-tier bloodline."

I admire your character and potential, which is why I specially reserved it for you.

Treat it well, and it will surely become your strongest support on your journey in the future.

These words moved Liu Yunzhou to tears of gratitude. He hugged the spirit beast egg tightly and bowed deeply, saying, "I will never forget the kindness of the patriarch! I will certainly live up to the patriarch's expectations!"

He looked down at the egg in his arms, his eyes gentle yet firm.

With the rewards in place, it's time to assign tasks.

Lin Che looked at him with a smile: "Yun Zhou, you have an earth elemental root, are compatible with earth elements, and have a natural advantage in controlling earth and stone."

The important task of building up the family business, especially the construction of various houses and facilities, will now be entrusted to you.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunzhou was filled with boundless pride and, without hesitation, patted his chest and assured them, "Don't worry, Patriarch! Building our home is Yunzhou's duty; leave it to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he belatedly realized a crucial question.

Although he possessed the Earth Spirit Root, he had never learned how to build a house! The excitement on his face froze instantly, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

Lin Che took in all the subtle changes in his expression.

He couldn't help but smile and reassure her, "Don't worry, I will find you the relevant architectural blueprints, construction methods, and practical earth-based building spellbooks."

You just need to focus on your studies; with your aptitude, mastering these skills is only a matter of time.

"Yes, Patriarch!" Liu Yunzhou was finally relieved, regained his fighting spirit, and nodded vigorously.

After arranging Liu Yunzhou's future studies, Lin Che planned to personally go out to purchase various materials and books needed for the construction.

This time, however, his destination was not Chuyang City, but Tongxinfang City, which was located in another direction.
