Eternal Beast Taming Family

In the afterglow of the sun, wisps of smoke drifted from the Chu family's courtyard into the air.

The aroma of the food at the Chu family's house tonight seemed particularly strong, enticing the small animals in the surrounding woods to stand not far from the yard and sniff it intently.

When the last bowl of meat soup was served on the dining table in the main room, drool was dripping from his mouth.

"This is the meat of the alien-level source beast, the Frost Howl Bird. It's very beneficial for your growth, so eat up."

At Chu Jingyu's command, several pairs of chopsticks quickly picked up meat from the bowl in the middle.

Seeing his family enjoying their meal, Chu Jingyu smiled, his eyes crinkling with delight.

Chu Mu, who was placed on the Eight Immortals table, felt annoyed watching them eat so heartily, so he simply shut out the outside world and focused his attention on the "Nameless Book".

Focus on checking the information that has changed.

First, thanks to the support of the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast", Chu Jingyu finally reached the level of a higher-ranking alien.

Chu Mu didn't quite understand how big the gap was between the alien rank and the spirit rank, how difficult it would be for Chu Jingyu to break through now, whether it would take several years or more than ten years, or whether he could only stop here.

However, Chu Mu already had his own plans. Even if the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" could only go so far, Chu Mu would let him contract a new source beast. He didn't believe that he couldn't help Chu Jingyu advance to the Spirit Rank with his own abilities.

No wonder Chu Mu cares so much about Chu Jingyu. So far, Chu Jingyu, the head of the family, has gotten along quite well. He is steady in his work, ruthless towards enemies, and respectful to himself.

With Chu Jingyu in charge of the Chu family, Chu Mu felt very reassured.

In Chu Mu's view, Chu Qinhui was not yet capable of shouldering the responsibility of this family. Chu Shengfan did resemble Chu Jingyu somewhat, but he was still young and needed to grow up for a few more years.

Chu Mu continued reading the information about the family members. Chu Qinhui's cultivation level was still the same as before, at the lower level of the mortal realm. After all, they had only been in a contract for a few days, so it was understandable that he was still at this level.

Chu Shengfan was unaware that he had already advanced to the middle level of the mortal realm, and Chu Mu showed some satisfaction.

Jiang Nian contracted with the "Pink Rock Crystal Python" and Chu Shengyuan contracted with the "Aomori Giant Python". Both of them had contracted with it for a shorter period of time, so they were both in the lower mortal rank.

Family member: Chu Shenghan

Position: Regular Member

Rank: Lower rank of ordinary rank

Age: nine years old

Contracted Source Beast: Emerald Bird

Status: Healthy, rapidly absorbing energy.

Family Relationships: Daughter of Chu Qinhui and Jiang Nian, granddaughter of Chu Jingyu…

Race Name: Kingfisher

Rank: Lower rank of ordinary rank

Qualification: Ordinary

Status: Normal

Attribute Tendency: Sound

Skill: 1. Emerald Sound Wave: The Emerald Bird emits a clear chirp, generating a ring-shaped sound wave that impacts nearby targets.

2. Emerald Sound - Rhythm: The Emerald Bird emits a melodious song, slightly shortening the skill charging time for targets affected by the sound waves.

Evolution path: 1. Emerald Bird → Two-Headed Whispering Bird (30 Source Spirits)

2. Emerald Bird → Emerald Long-feathered Bird (Thirty-five Source Spirits)

3. Emerald Bird → Phantom Feathered Sparrow (One Hundred and Thirty Source Spirits)

Chu Mu now has a slight understanding of the evolution of Source Beasts. Through the consumption of Source Spirits, Chu Mu can roughly guess that the consumption of different Source Spirits may correspond to Source Beasts with different racial aptitudes.

Just like the first two evolutionary paths, both are around thirty, which means that the source beasts they evolve can reach the upper limit of racial rank through normal growth, which is the alternate rank.

The last one, "Phantom Sound Sparrow," which consumed over a hundred Source Spirits, is likely a relatively strong alien-level Source Beast, or a Spirit-level Source Beast, the kind of Source Beast that can normally grow to the Spirit level.

The consumption of 130 Source Spirits is not unacceptable for Chu Mu at present, but if he wants to check, the current total of 125 Source Spirits is not enough, and he will have to wait another day.

Although he could have viewed the first two evolution paths at once, Chu Mu held back. This time, he wanted to check the most expensive one.

Family Chronology

……

10 month 10 day.

The last member of the family, Chu Shenghan, successfully contracted the source beast, the Emerald Bird, making the entire Chu family true contract masters.

Chu Jingyu, the patriarch of the Chu family, executed Chen Chengwen, the village chief under his jurisdiction, thus winning the hearts of all four subordinate villages. This boosted the family's prestige and fortune, and earned him a reward of 30 Source Spirits.

"Chu Family"

Rank: Ninth Grade Poor Family

Family members: ...

Family businesses: Fuhe Village, Tuwo Village, Qingsha Village, Chenjia Village. Thirty Source Pattern Stones, one courtyard, and other items.

Family location:…

Family Reputation: 30 (between villages)

After reading all the updated information, Chu Mu closed the "Nameless Book" with some satisfaction. Under his witness, the Chu family was moving step by step towards a better future.

……

The next day, early in the morning, the newly appointed village chief of Chenjia Village waited outside the door with the clan elders.

Seeing the overly simple courtyard in front of them, the village chief and several elders were a little surprised, wondering if they had come to the wrong place. But when they saw Chu Jingyu's calm and composed face, they put all their worries aside.

After giving a brief report, Chu Jingyu announced the current arrangements for Chenjia Village, and then sent them back without even letting them stay for lunch. This was a stark contrast to the treatment they received in the previous three villages.

However, Chen Yuwen, the new village chief of Chenjia Village, and several clan elders dared not utter any complaints. They now only hoped that Chenjia Village could quickly erase the bad impression left in the hearts of the host family.

Otherwise, having lost a different-level contract master and being disliked by their master, Chen Family Village would find it difficult to retain its position as a superior village.

Two days after the people from Chenjia Village arrived, Bai Liangshu, along with a group of gifts and his twelve-year-old son, came to visit.

As agreed at the banquet, Chu Jingyu requested Chu Mu to awaken the spirit of Bai Liangshu's son, enabling him to contract source beasts and become a contract master.

For the next seven days, the Chu family was finally able to have some peace and quiet.

Chu Jingyu was busy consolidating his newly advanced realm to the upper level of the alien rank, while the rest of the Chu family members were either cultivating their relationships with their source beasts or quietly improving their realms.

It wasn't until one morning seven days later that Chu Jingyu took Chu Qinhui out to head to town.

October 19th is the day of the Treasure Pavilion's auction.

The observant Chu Qinhui noticed that there were many more high-level contract masters on the street, most of whom were heading towards the street where the Treasure Pavilion was located.

Concealing their presence, Chu Jingyu and Chu Qinhui blended into the crowd without any sense of incongruity.

However, once inside the Treasure Pavilion, when Chu Jingyu produced the contract, the father and son received a completely different arrangement from everyone else.

"We have prepared a private room for our two distinguished guests. Please follow me."

The entire Treasure Pavilion is said to have four floors, but in Chu Jingyu's opinion, it is more like four and a half floors, because in addition to the hundreds of seats in the main hall, there is a half-floor protruding near the outer side.

The dozen or so private rooms are arranged in an arc shape and are built above the seats in the main hall.

Following the maid's steps, Chu Jingyu and Chu Qinhui arrived at room B of the Earth section. It was a pretty good location, neither the central room A of the Heaven section nor room C of the Human section, which didn't offer a great view.

Just as the two were about to enter the private room, a disgruntled voice came from the side.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? How did he get assigned to the box next to ours?"
