I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

After leaving the Zhou family's retail store, Lin Che walked slowly down the streets of Chuyang City, sending a wisp of his divine sense into the breeding manual that came with the purchase of the spirit beast.

This was a gift prepared by the Zhou family for purchasing spirit beast cubs. The thin booklet contained basic breeding methods for four common spirit beasts. The content was rudimentary and could only guarantee the health and survival of the spirit beasts. It was acceptable as a bonus.

Lin Che glanced at it casually a few times and then lost interest.

The beast-taming inheritance in his hands is all-encompassing, and the breeding methods recorded in it are profound and mysterious, far surpassing this rudimentary manual.

The text details various breeding methods, including a resource-saving basic breeding method.

There are accelerated methods that focus on ripening and aim for rapid market entry;

There is a bloodline cultivation method that focuses on stimulating bloodline potential and promoting advancement;

There is also the balanced feeding method, which combines both but is very expensive.

After some deliberation, Lin Che chose the second accelerated breeding method. Bloodline advancement wouldn't be as troublesome for him; right now, he needed to see results as soon as possible.

After choosing a method, he began to purchase materials from various sources.

The four types of spirit beasts have different requirements for their growth environment, and the spiritual materials needed to build their own sheds are different for each of them.

In addition, it is necessary to purchase the corresponding spirit beast food, matching spirit medicine seeds, and all the necessary materials for cultivating spirit fields.

When he actually started purchasing, Lin Che deeply realized how complicated and difficult it was to build a family from scratch. The variety of materials needed to be prepared far exceeded his previous estimates.

The breeding of these edible spirit beasts alone consumed a great deal of his energy, and he still couldn't purchase them all in the end.

Other materials were relatively easy to obtain, but the specific spirit fish and aquatic spirit insects required for the Blue-headed Duck were lacking.

The water veins in the Chuyang City area are not abundant to begin with. The Shattered Star Lake area, which has the most abundant water vapor, has a rare native fish species because the spiritual veins were previously hidden. Most of them only contain a little spiritual energy and their bloodlines are not even worthy of being classified as graded.

Furthermore, the hilly plains area where the Zhou family lives has absolutely no spirit fish farming industry.

This left Lin Che at a loss, without even a choice.

Left with no other choice, he had to return to Chuyang City again, intending to go to the City Lord's Mansion's Mission Hall to post an acquisition mission.

The Mission Hall is located in the area under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion in the north of the city. It is a magnificent stone palace.

Upon entering, a cacophony of noise greeted them, with a constant stream of people coming and going, mostly cultivators like Lin Che who had come to issue missions.

The main hall has a spacious interior, with several huge jade discs embedded in the walls, their surfaces shimmering with spiritual light and constantly displaying various mission information.

Many monks stopped in front of the jade wall, carefully searching for a suitable commission for themselves.

Lin Che's arrival immediately attracted the attention of many people in the hall.

The Lin family has recently been in the eye of the storm, and most of the people present are well-informed family cultivators, so they naturally recognize this newly rising head of the Lin family.

Various ambiguous gazes quietly gathered on him, mixed with low whispers.

Lin Che ignored this and made no attempt to exchange pleasantries with the others, heading straight to the work station responsible for reception and registration.

Several cultivators dressed in uniform robes sat behind the stage, busily processing jade slips and documents.

One of the staff members seemed to recognize Lin Che, and his attitude immediately became exceptionally respectful, without the slightest negligence, explaining to him in detail the various rules for issuing missions in Chuyang City.

There's only one key point: posting a task requires a fee. The first post costs ten low-grade spirit stones, and each subsequent post costs ten low-grade spirit stones for each week the task is posted.

Lin Che was already aware of this and had no objection.

After reading it, he took a blank jade slip from the staff member, put his divine sense into it, and entered the task requirements and rewards.

The task is simple: to purchase live aquatic creatures such as spirit fish, spirit shrimp, spirit snails, and water fleas on a long-term basis.

Anyone who captures an aquatic monster with at least a first-tier bloodline can go to the Lin family at Shattered Star Lake to settle accounts.

Lin Che intends to carry out large-scale breeding, and the first thing he needs to do is to select and breed superior breeds.

His ideal breed must meet the following conditions: easy to raise, fast-growing, and excellent taste.

Since he currently has no military achievements, he can only attract independent cultivators to pay more attention to such aquatic spiritual creatures during their daily activities by paying spirit stones at a price slightly higher than the market price.

Although there are no major rivers around Chuyang City, there are plenty of streams and pools.

Even deep within the perilous and poisonous Black Tooth Swamp, there are lakes, which must be home to many spirit fish. However, the environment is too dangerous for ordinary cultivators to venture into.

After completing the formalities and paying the spirit stones, Lin Che watched as the mission information was entered into the core array of Chuyang City and displayed on the mission jade wall, then prepared to leave.

Just as I turned around, the staff member called me back.

"Senior Lin, please wait." The staff member said respectfully, "I've heard that your Lin family has completed the development of Shattered Star Lake, but it seems you haven't yet formally registered your territory with the Spirit Vein Management Office?"

These staff members would exchange information in their spare time. He was acquainted with Fang Yu from the Spirit Vein Management Office, and they happened to have talked about this matter.

According to Fang Yu, after the Lin family completed the land reclamation, they never came to complete the final registration of land ownership.

After this reminder, Lin Che suddenly realized.

He had only applied for the right to develop the land, and had completely forgotten to complete the final confirmation of ownership.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist." Lin Che bowed in thanks, then turned and headed towards the Spirit Vein Management Office.

Compared to the bustling mission hall, the Spirit Vein Management Office appeared much quieter.

Now, there are very few undeveloped areas left in Chuyang City, and with the land tax still within the five-year tax exemption period, this place is naturally deserted.

In a side hall of the management office, Wang Miaoxue and Fang Yu were leisurely sipping spiritual tea and reading an unknown book.

Noticing someone enter, the two looked up and saw Lin Che; their eyes lit up.

Wang Miaoxue immediately put down the book in her hand, hurried forward, and greeted him with a warm smile: "So it's Fellow Daoist Lin who has graced us with his presence. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you sooner. Please have a seat!"

Today she wore a light blue dress, which added to her composed demeanor as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Fang Yu also quickly got up and deftly poured Lin Che a steaming cup of spiritual tea, with a perfectly respectful smile on her face.

Whether it was the staff from the Mission Hall or the two from the Spirit Vein Management Office, their attitudes were unusually friendly, demonstrating the effectiveness of Lin Che's previous efforts to establish his authority.

After taking his seat, Lin Che sipped his spiritual tea and got straight to the point: "I've come today to formally register the Shattered Star Lake area under my Lin family's name and complete the land ownership procedures."

Once the registration is completed, Shattered Star Lake will officially fall under the Lin family's control. Consequently, after the five-year tax exemption period, the Lin family will be required to pay a fixed amount of tax to Chuyang City every year.

After hearing Lin Che's purpose, Wang Miaoxue smiled and said, "I guessed it was about this matter as well. I was just chatting with Xiaoyu, and we were talking about how you must be very busy with the development of your territory lately. We were just thinking about whether we should pay a visit to Shattered Star Lake and take care of this matter for you on the spot!"

"You two are too kind. However, if you have free time in the future, you are welcome to visit my Lin family often. I will certainly welcome you with open arms," ​​Lin Che replied politely.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Wang Miaoxue began processing Lin Che's registration.

The process is not complicated; it mainly involves verifying information, entering it into the core jade register of the City Lord's Mansion, and imprinting the exclusive spirit runes of the Shattered Star Lake territory.

After the formalities were completed, Lin Che was about to take his leave when Wang Miaoxue gestured for him to wait a moment.

She cautiously used her divine sense to scan her surroundings, and after confirming that no one was listening, she lowered her voice and told Lin Che some news:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, as far as I know, the Zhao family seems to have given up the idea of ​​continuing to compete since they see that you have already established a foothold in Shattered Star Lake."

They are currently joining forces with the Zhou family of Beast Tamers to develop the Black Tooth Swamp area.

Now, the development rights for that area have been officially transferred to the Zhao family.

Upon hearing this, Lin Che was slightly puzzled as to why the Zhao family had suddenly become interested in the dangerous Black Tooth Swamp. However, the fact that the Zhao family had temporarily shifted their focus was undoubtedly good news for the Lin family.

This means he will have more time to develop his family business.

As for the matter of the Zhao family hiring assassins to intercept and kill him?

Lin Che sneered inwardly. He always had one advantage: he held grudges.

If a suitable opportunity arises in the future, I will repay them tenfold and show no mercy.
