I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Liu Qingxue was extremely efficient; within seven days, a detailed investigation report on the Wang family was presented to Lin Che.

The report was well-organized, listing not only the various spirit wines mainly produced by the Wang family, their flavors and effects, and the locations of their shops, but also tracing the family's origins and detailing the cultivation levels of the nine cultivators within the clan.

The document also identifies several of the Wang family's competitors in the spirit wine business in Chuyang City, and explicitly states that the Wang family has always acted discreetly and cautiously, and has not made any enemies with any forces.

The most powerful cultivator in the clan is none other than the clan leader, Wang Yanchi, who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

After reading the entire report, Lin Che tapped it lightly and nodded in satisfaction: "Qingxue, you've done a good job. Based on the current information, the Wang family is indeed sincerely submitting. In that case, let's accept them for now."

He looked up at the girl standing to the side and instructed, "Alright, go back and continue your cultivation. Now that the matter of acquiring the spirit fish is temporarily concluded, you need to devote yourself to cultivation for the next period of time and strive to achieve..."

At this point, Lin Che suddenly paused, recalling the "Nine Refinements Golden Body" technique he had cultivated during his Qi Refining stage.

With Liu Qingxue's solid spiritual foundation and increasingly enhanced divine sense, if she could supplement it with body refinement, she might be able to break through the bottleneck during the Foundation Establishment stage, just like him, without needing Foundation Establishment Pills.

But after thinking about it again, I gave up the idea, mainly because body training is too arduous and time-consuming.

Body refinement doesn't depend on talent; it's something you build up over time.

If it weren't for choosing body refinement to solidify his foundation, Lin Che, with his talent, might have been able to establish his foundation in just three years after restarting his training.

Given a young girl's temperament, she could probably endure that hardship, but it would take too long.

What the Lin family lacks most right now is time. They urgently need new Foundation Establishment combat power and simply cannot afford to wait for such a long period of accumulation.

In a flash, Lin Che made his decision and continued, "Break through to the second level of the 'Myriad Beasts Technique' as soon as possible. Once you form a natal spirit contract with the Xuanbing Cangyu Falcon, the ice-attribute spiritual energy it feeds back during its cultivation will greatly enhance your cultivation speed."

"Yes, Patriarch!" Liu Qingxue's eyes shone brightly, her tone resolute: "Qingxue will break through to the second level of the cultivation technique as quickly as possible!"

After dealing with the Wang family's affairs, Lin Che did not immediately return to the island in the middle of the lake to cultivate, but instead went to the spirit herb garden in the northern district.

The first batch of crops in the garden was nearing maturity, and he wanted to go and see them for himself.

Compared to the desolate scene three months ago, the medicinal herb garden now has a completely new look.

The once undulating, shrub-covered woodland has been leveled and compacted, and dozens of neat, square spiritual fields have been planned out. These fields are carefully cultivated with a mixture of wood ash containing trace amounts of spiritual energy and spirit beast excrement. The field ridges are straight, and the ditches are clearly defined, subtly forming a simple spiritual energy gathering network.

The five spiritual fields at the very front of the garden are already covered in green, full of vitality.

In the two fields on the left, golden light flowed, and the heavy ears of rice bent the stalks.

A piece of land planted with first-grade low-level Green Sprout Spirit Rice, the rice grains are green and the spiritual energy is mild, making it the staple food for many spirit beasts;

Next to it was a first-grade jade marrow spirit rice, the grains of which were plump and crystal clear, just like jade marrow, and the pure spiritual power contained within was more suitable for cultivators to eat.

Whether it's spirit rice, spirit beast meat, or spirit fruit, they all contain gentle and easily absorbed essences of heaven and earth.

Although not as potent as elixirs, it is free of toxins and impurities. Long-term consumption can not only steadily improve one's cultivation level, but also subtly nourish one's blood and qi, and temper one's bones and muscles, laying a solid foundation for one's path to enlightenment.

This is why the Spirit Cuisine Restaurant has always been prosperous in the cultivation city.

Shifting my gaze to the right, I saw three other spiritual fields planted with different crops.

The leaves of the Tier 1 low-grade Moongrass are long and narrow, shimmering with a faint silver glow in the sunlight. This is the favorite food of the Moongrass Rabbit.

In the adjacent field ridges, the vines of the Solomon's Seal Root creep along the ground, their tubers hidden deep beneath the spiritual soil, awaiting harvest. This is the staple food of the Xuanqiu Thick Earth Pig.

In the last field, the plants stand tall and straight, bearing pods of Iron-Shelled Spirit Beans. These beans can be cooked and eaten directly, or pressed for oil. The bean meal is rich in protein and is an excellent supplementary feed for spirit beasts.

Soybean meal is included in the daily feed prepared for the four types of raised spirit beasts.

Apart from moonflower grass, the two types of spirit rice, along with Solomon's seal yam and iron-shelled spirit bean, were originally crops that ripened once every six months.

However, under the daily, uninterrupted "Life Bloom" supernatural power catalyzed by Su Wanwan and the spirit beast Senyu Linglu, the growth cycle was shortened to three months.

After this batch of crops is harvested, there will be no need to buy feed for the next batch of birds. The feed can be replenished by sowing again during the breeding period, thus enabling them to be self-sufficient.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Lin Che was in a good mood as he walked along the cobblestone path beside the spirit field.

The warm sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, making the leaves of the spiritual plants appear lush and vibrant, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the soil and the unique fresh scent of various spiritual plants.

The two guest cultivators responsible for daily care noticed someone's arrival. When they looked up and saw that it was the head of the family, they immediately bowed respectfully.

He then continued to focus on his work, using the Spirit Rain Technique to summon spiritual rain that evenly sprinkled onto the vines of the Solomon's Seal.

At this moment, Su Wanwan, who was squatting by the moon grass field, gently touching the leaves with her palm and carefully sensing their growth, was gently touched by the Forest Spirit Deer beside her with its antlers.

The girl immediately understood, patted her hands which were covered in a little spiritual soil, and stood up.

"Master!" She turned around, her pretty face radiating youthful energy, her bright eyes looking at Lin Che with anticipation, "Praise me!"

Since settling in the Lin family home, life has become more comfortable. In addition, after her spirit awakened, Su Wanwan's personality became more cheerful and lively, which is in line with the personality of a nineteen-year-old girl.

Seeing that she had managed the spirit field in an orderly manner and that all kinds of crops were growing well, Lin Che, even though he didn't know much about spirit plants, understood that this was a sign of a bountiful harvest and naturally praised her.

"You've worked hard, Wanwan," he said with a gentle smile, his gaze sweeping over the vibrant field ridges. "You've taken excellent care of this spiritual field, far exceeding my expectations."

Upon receiving affirmation, a bright smile immediately bloomed on the girl's face, like a blossoming fairy flower.

Lin Che's gaze then fell on the Forest Whispering Deer beside her.

In just three months, the little deer that could only curl up in the girl's arms like an emerald doll has grown to almost reach the girl's waist, with a graceful and elegant figure.

Its fur has a deeper, more lustrous emerald color, shimmering with a soft glow in the sunlight.

The antlers on its head, resembling ancient trees, were already taking shape, with strong branches and lush, vibrant green leaves, clearly well cared for by the young girl.

"The forest deer has grown even more magnificent under your care."

Lin Che first praised him, then switched to telepathy, his voice urging, "However, you must not slack off in your own cultivation."

I need to improve my cultivation level as soon as possible and form a life contract with the Forest Spirit Deer.

The wood-elemental spiritual energy it generates during its cultivation will be of great benefit to you, allowing you to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

In fact, after awakening her affinity with herbs, Su Wanwan's cultivation speed in places rich in plant spiritual energy was no less than that of Liu Qingxue, who had a superior spiritual root.

But Lin Che's expectations for her were naturally even higher.

"Yes, Patriarch! Wanwan has remembered and will definitely work harder!" Su Wanwan nodded vigorously, clenching her little fists, her eyes full of seriousness.

After giving a few more instructions on proper storage of the harvested crops, Lin Che turned and left the herb garden, returning to his own courtyard on the island in the middle of the lake.

With a slight thought, the secret realm token glowed, and his figure appeared in the Azure Profound Secret Realm.

The Azure Profound Realm Spirit, who had been keeping a close eye on the changes in the secret realm, quietly appeared behind Lin Che the moment he appeared, and reported in a clear voice: "Master, the Golden Scaled Fish that you specifically instructed us to keep an eye on have successfully bred."

Upon hearing this, Lin Che's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Take me to see it immediately!"

This patrolling golden-scaled fish is the product of his upgrading the original first-tier patrolling spirit fish using the power of the system.

The reason for choosing this fish to build the ecosystem was its strong reproductive capacity and short cycle.

It's worth noting that the water-climbing fish can reproduce once a month, laying over a hundred eggs each time, demonstrating its rapid reproduction rate.

The only drawback is that the fish meat is too dry and doesn't taste good, which is why Lin Che didn't select it as an edible spirit beast.

The stronger the bloodline of a spirit beast, the lower its reproductive capacity and the longer its reproductive cycle.

The fact that the golden-scaled fish that patrolled the water were the first to reproduce was exactly what was expected.

The batch of meat-eating spirit beast cubs that Lin Che brought into the secret realm and underwent an upgrade have just reached adulthood and are estimated to be some time away from breeding.

Following the Azure Profound Realm Spirit, we arrived at a dense thicket of sword-leaf water caltrops. Through the clear lake water, we could see two patrolling golden-scaled fish, their bodies now yellowish-brown, vigilantly guarding a dozen large fish eggs attached to the roots of the water caltrops.

Compared to the eggs of the water-patterned fish, the eggs are larger, but the yield is much lower.

With a thought, Lin Che's divine sense, like an invisible hand, carefully enveloped a fish egg and lifted it to the surface of the water.

The pair of golden-scaled fish, using their keen sense of water waves, immediately sensed something amiss and began to swim rapidly around the eggs, searching for the non-existent "enemy."

Lin Che's full attention was focused on the fish egg in his palm that contained a faint life force.

He silently recited in his heart:

"System, upgrade the fish eggs."

The next moment, a familiar golden halo emerged from nothingness, completely enveloping the fish eggs.

Lin Che couldn't help but smile – this method really works!

As the golden light faded, the fish eggs in my palm visibly swelled up a size, their shells gleaming with an even more resilient sheen.

The system's detection information then appeared:

【Golden Scales Chasing Waves Fish】(Fish egg stage)

Level: Unhatched

Bloodline Rank: Tier 3, Low Grade

……

Success! The life essence within the fish egg has undergone a leap, transforming into a Tier 3 Low-Grade Golden Scale Wave Chaser!

This successful experiment is of great significance.

This means that, with proper planning, the Lin family will not lack a source of high-level bloodline spirit beasts in the future!

A grand and magnificent blueprint for a family of beast tamers seems to have begun to emerge from that tiny fish egg.
