I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Above the Golden Core, the newly inscribed "Wind Eye Break" divine power trembled slightly, emitting a soft cyan light.

The light, though not dazzling, contained a mysterious rhythm, like the breath of the wind or the movement of the clouds.

A powerful wind-attribute spiritual energy surged from Lin Che's body and spread in all directions.

The Azure-Eyed Eagles patrolling around the cliff all stopped abruptly.

They raised their heads, their pair of emerald green eagle eyes gazing in the same direction.

That place, a mountain peak at the heart of their tribe's territory, is where that great man resides.

A peculiar scent wafted in the wind.

That aura had a certain similarity to the divine power "Azure Eye" inherited in their bloodline.

It can see through illusions and perceive the hidden, but it is more profound and mysterious.

The Azure-Eyed Eagle leader was the first to react.

It was patrolling the edge of its territory on the western side of the cliff when it sensed that aura, and its pair of emerald green eagle eyes lit up instantly.

The master has made another breakthrough!

Its eyes darted around, and it immediately changed direction, flapping its broad wings and flying swiftly towards Lin Che's location.

……

Lin Che stood with his hands behind his back on the mountaintop, immersed in the subtle insights gained from the initial formation of his supernatural powers.

Suddenly, a rapid whooshing sound came from behind, followed by a fawning divine thought entering his mind:

"Congratulations on mastering this supernatural power! You are truly a celestial being descended to earth!"

The voice was forceful and the tone was crisp and clear, yet it revealed the intention to flatter without reservation.

The newcomer was none other than the leader of the Azure-Eyed Eagles.

Lin Che turned his head and looked at the big face that was so close to him, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

When he first subdued this guy, he was known for his rigid and stubborn personality.

Those emerald green eagle eyes were always filled with vigilance, and they only showed him, their "master," a respectful but businesslike demeanor, never uttering a single unnecessary word.

What about now?

Look at that face.

That fawning expression, that sycophantic tone, that familiar manner of trying to get close to him—he was the epitome of a seasoned sly fox.

They were definitely corrupted by that old bastard Cangmingjiao.

Lin Che silently complained to himself.

That old dragon usually didn't have any serious business. He spent his days wandering between different tribes, always smiling at everyone he met, and he could talk the dead back to life with his words.

Over the years, almost every spirit beast with some status in the secret realm has been influenced by it to some extent.

"Alright, stop joking around." Lin Che was too lazy to listen to his continued flattery and interrupted him directly.

"Speak, what do you need from me?"

"Hehe, you can't hide it from the boss after all." The Azure-Eyed Eagle leader's big face was plastered with an even more fawning smile, and he leaned his head even closer.

"Boss, I just had a daughter born, what do you think..."

It didn't finish its sentence, but its expectant eyes said it all.

Lin Che rolled his eyes at it again.

So they came here to pull strings.

The daughter the Azure-Eyed Eagle leader mentioned should refer to one of its recently born cubs.

As soon as this little guy was born, the leader of the Azure-Eyed Eagles discovered that his bloodline was exceptionally pure and his talent far surpassed that of the other cubs in the same litter.

If one can obtain the opportunity to advance their bloodline, their future prospects are limitless.

The problem is that Lin Che adjusted the rules for enhancing the bloodlines of spirit beasts in the secret realm.

As the number of spirit beasts in the secret realm increases and their numbers grow larger, Lin Che's advancement system only allows three uses per day, which is simply not enough.

So he devised a "contribution ranking" system.

For older spirit beasts, "merit points" are accumulated based on their contributions to the clan and the Lin family. Once a certain number are reached, they can apply for bloodline advancement.

As for the newly born young spirit beasts, Lin Che selects the best targets from each clan to advance their ranks based on their bloodline concentration and talent potential.

The Azure-Eyed Eagle leader's newborn daughter is indeed exceptionally talented; according to the rules, she will be his turn sooner or later.

But this old man couldn't wait. He was afraid that his daughter would be outshone by other families, so he took advantage of Lin Che's good mood after learning supernatural powers and shamelessly tried to pull strings.

Lin Che remained silent for a few seconds.

The Azure-Eyed Eagle leader stared at him expectantly, its emerald green eyes filled with anticipation.

"Alright then." Lin Che finally nodded.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll make an exception for you."

This guy is considered an old-timer in the secret realm.

Ever since Lin Che subdued the Azure-Eyed Eagle clan, it has been diligently managing the clan's affairs.

Over the years, it has produced several litters of offspring, making a real contribution to the growth and expansion of the species.

Their hard work and great achievements deserve an exception.

"Hehe, thanks, boss!" The Azure-Eyed Eagle leader's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded repeatedly. "Then I'll go on patrol!"

Before the words were even finished, it had already flapped its wings and flown away as if fleeing.

They acted as if they were afraid Lin Che would change his mind.

Lin Che watched its departing figure and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

……

Turning his gaze away, Lin Che looked at the cliff face not far from the mountain he was on.

There, nests were densely packed together.

That was the core settlement of the Azure-Eyed Eagle clan.

Over the years, Lin Che's spirit beast breeding program has achieved remarkable results.

His initial strategy was:

First, allow the first-tier Azure-Eyed Eagles to multiply in large numbers to expand the population base. Then, select the best among them and upgrade the bloodline of those individuals with outstanding talents.

Currently, the number of first-tier Azure-Eyed Eagles has reached more than 1,700.

These are mostly adults and form the backbone of the community.

There are also more than 300 cubs, which are growing up healthily.

The number of second-tier Azure-Eyed Eagles has reached around four hundred.

They are the core fighting force of the clan, responsible for patrolling, guarding, and cooperating with the Lin family in various tasks.

The number of third-tier Azure Cloud Eagles has reached forty.

These spirit beasts, possessing even stronger bloodlines than the former, are among the Lin family's most valuable assets and the cornerstone for the Lin family's future growth.

As for why the Azure Eagle clan has been able to develop so well...

the reason is simple.

There are no natural enemies here.

They don't need to worry about food.

In Lin Che's secret realm, there are special areas for raising spirit beasts as a food source, and there are also enough spirit plants for them to eat.

They don't need to worry about the survival rate of their offspring.

Unlike in the wild, where a storm, an ambush, or a food shortage can wipe out an entire litter of cubs.

In the secret realm, each cub receives meticulous care and protection.

Furthermore, the presence of Lin Che, a master beast tamer, ensured that they would not contract the disease.

Due to a combination of factors, the growth rate of the Azure-Eyed Eagle clan far exceeded Lin Che's initial expectations.

Lin Che stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the cliff face densely covered with nests, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The matter in Chuyang City has come to an end.

With the Chen family destroyed, the Zhou, Li, and Sun families submitted to the Zhao family, making them a hidden pawn.

On the surface, the Lin family is already the true power holders in Chuyang City.

Next, it's time to consider how to expand the Lin family's businesses.

In the past, the Lin family had only dabbled in the spirit beast business.

It was small in scale, had limited influence, and never truly entered the mainstream market.

It's different now.

However, Lin Che did not intend to open a beast-taming shop that specialized in selling spirit beasts, as originally planned.

He wants to get it done in one go.

They should directly open a trading company belonging to the Lin family.

Centered on spirit beasts, it also takes into account various resources such as magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans, and spiritual materials.

A truly comprehensive commercial firm.

In this way, the Lin family's "preconceived notion" in the eyes of the world can be completely reversed.

This would also open up a stable and lucrative source of income for the Lin family.
