I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

"Alright, that's all for now. You can all go about your business. Restoring the clan's territory is the most important thing right now."

Lin Che waved his hand, his tone returning to its usual calm.

"As the head of the family, I also need to go and check on the situation in various places and do my part."

"Yes, Father!" the children answered in unison.

They all turned and left the courtyard to continue their respective tasks related to the aftermath.

Especially Lin Xuanqi, whose figure remained plump, was the first to twist his agile body and quickly walk out of the courtyard gate upon hearing this, muttering to himself:

"Oh no! My 'Eight Treasures Braised Pork Trotters' are still simmering on the stove! I hope they don't burn!"

For him, the kitchen that survived the great battle and the pot of carefully stewed spiritual food were also important assets that needed to be "saved".

Lin Xuanjing, who is usually talkative and outspoken, was unusually silent today.

He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

He strode out of the yard, completely different from his usual noisy self.

The youngest daughter, Lin Xuanjing, rolled up her sleeves and walked towards her older sister, Lin Xuanqing:

"Big sister, we haven't finished cleaning up the damaged 'Moonlight Orchids' and 'Star-Patterned Grass' in the backyard yet. Shall we go together?"

Lin Xuanqing nodded gently.

The two girls, with contrasting temperaments yet equally beautiful, walked side by side toward the garden behind the main house, which was shrouded in spiritual mist, relatively lightly damaged but still messy.

……

Seeing that the children had all obeyed and left, Lin Che was about to ascend into the sky on his sword to personally inspect and participate in the restoration of the clan's territory when a figure blocked his way.

It was Wang Lingsu.

She held a jade slip in her hand that recorded the loss of supplies, and her face showed an unquestionable expression.

"My lord, the specific repair work on the clan's land can be handled by the three of us overseeing and coordinating. The list, manpower, and materials have all been arranged, and with everyone fulfilling their responsibilities, there won't be any problems."

She paused, then looked at Lin Che with concern:

"Your most important task right now is to solidify your newly achieved Golden Core realm. This matter concerns your foundation and cannot be delayed."

Liu Qingxue's cool and tired face showed agreement.

"Sister Lingsu is right."

"My lord, you have just engaged in a fierce battle and unleashed your supernatural powers. You most need to rest and consolidate your cultivation. Familiarizing yourself with your new power is your top priority right now. We will take care of the affairs of the clan."

Su Wanwan nodded vigorously:

"Husband, just listen to your sisters. You've done enough for the family; now it's time to think about yourself and your future. Leave these trivial matters to us."

The three Daoist partners were adamant and did not give Lin Che a chance to refuse.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Lingsu nodded slightly to Liu Qingxue and Su Wanwan, and the three of them took off on their swords again.

Transforming into three streams of light of different colors, they flew towards the clan's main area, the spirit beast garden, and the spirit herb garden respectively, their figures quickly blending into the busy crowd.

Watching their departing figures, Lin Che felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He stopped insisting and turned back to his secluded meditation room in the main house.

He took out the token that controlled the Azure Profound Realm and his mind stirred slightly.

The next moment, the space shifted, and the familiar rich spiritual energy and the fresh scent of grass and trees wafted over.

He was now on the central island of the Qingxuan Secret Realm.

"Boss! You're back! Congratulations on achieving the Golden Core stage! Hehehe, I knew you could do it! You're invincible!"

A voice filled with flattery and excitement was the first to ring out.

Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, the slender and graceful azure body of the Azure Scaled Flood Dragon emerged from the spiritual lake beside the island.

It flew over quickly, its dragon head approaching Lin Che, its big eyes blinking and its whiskers swaying happily.

"Hmph, it's just that they were one step ahead."

A clear, slightly arrogant female voice came from the air.

The Heavenly Sacred Sparrow folded its magnificent wings and landed lightly on a warm, smooth jade stone beside Lin Che.

With her head held high, she glanced at Lin Che with her molten gold eyes.

"You can be arrogant for a while. Just wait and see, it won't be long before I successfully form my core!"

Not only the two of them, but also Lin Che's other natal spirit beasts quickly gathered around upon sensing his return.

The Dragon Turtle carrying the mountain moved with steady steps, like a small mountain in motion. Its clear golden vertical pupils looked at Lin Che, conveying joy.

The old patriarch of the Cangming Jiao clan rose from the depths of the lake and glared at his youngest son.

You've already said everything, what am I supposed to say?

The Hellfire Tiger let out a low growl, nuzzled Lin Che's leg, and its eyes were full of congratulations.

The old patriarch of the River Crocodile Turtle clan, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, still came over to join in the fun, his eyes filled with emotion.

Even the Yaren Dragon Beast and the Qingxuan Realm Spirit, who had just completed their secret mission, have returned.

They quietly appeared not far away, looked at Lin Che, and nodded slightly.

What warmed Lin Che's heart even more was that most of the leaders of the various spirit beast clans in the secret realm had gathered on the island in the middle of the lake!

The Azure-Eyed Eagle leader preened its feathers on an ancient tree branch, the Golden Lion Beast leader lay on the grass yawning, and there was also its old companion, the Wind-Stepping Spirit Steed.

When Lin Che appeared, everyone congratulated him.

A stream of gazes, filled with joy, reverence, and blessings, converged upon them.

Looking at his old buddies, the last trace of gloom and resentment in Lin Che's heart caused by the damage to his family finally vanished completely.

Instead, there is the exhilaration of breaking through.

Lin Che smiled broadly and sincerely, and said loudly:

"I'm so happy today! Pass on my message: all the spirit beast tribes in the secret realm will have an extra feast tonight! Spirit fruits, fresh meat, and fine feed will be plentiful, so everyone can enjoy themselves!"

"Roar!" "Awooo!" "Screech—!"

Suddenly, a jubilant roar of beasts and chirping of birds resounded from the island in the middle of the lake!

The Azure Scaled Dragon excitedly somersaulted in the air, and although the Burning Heaven Sacred Sparrow still held its head high, a hint of a smile flashed in its eyes.

The other spirit beast leaders responded with delight.

For the spirit beasts in the secret realm, a sumptuous meal, especially a reward promised by their master, is undoubtedly one of their greatest joys.

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse and go about your business." Lin Che waved his hand with a smile.

After the cheers subsided, he said seriously, "I also need to hurry up and consolidate my cultivation level."

Of course, he didn't forget his promise and communicated with the Azure Profound Realm Spirit who had been quietly guarding him.

The specific details of "preparing additional meals" were entrusted to it for coordination and arrangement.

With the Azure Profound Realm Spirit's control over the secret realm, allocating resources and notifying various races is a simple matter.

However, tonight, some low-level herbivorous or small monster groups in the secret realm that reproduce faster will probably have to "voluntarily contribute" some of their members.

However, this is also part of the ecological balance of the secret realm.

After ten years of recuperation, with abundant spiritual energy and careful management, the number of various spirit beast groups in the secret realm has multiplied, forming a relatively stable and abundant food chain.

An occasional "celebration feast" on a scale that spans the entire secret region is entirely within the bounds of sustainability and will not affect the fundamental nature of the community.

After the clan leaders offered their congratulations to Lin Che, they dispersed in twos and threes, some returning to their territories, others continuing to play, filled with satisfaction and anticipation.

The island in the middle of the lake has regained its former tranquility.

Lin Che took a deep breath, sat cross-legged under the Misty Heart-Clearing Tea Tree, and slowly closed his eyes.

The ten-patterned golden elixir slowly rotated in the dantian, emitting a soft yet vast golden light.
