I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Lin Che's figure flew through the high sky of the southern region of the secret realm, heading towards the open valley below the mountains.

That was a breeding area he had specially created for carnivorous spirit beasts.

Unlike combat spirit beasts, these little guys don't need steep cliffs or vast airspace; all they need is fertile land, abundant spiritual springs, and... enough food.

From afar, Lin Che could see the area shrouded by the spirit array.

The four neatly arranged territories were built along the mountainside, separated from each other by streams and low hills.

Each territory is meticulously designed according to the habits of different spirit beasts.

There are tuber fields for the Solomon's Seal Chicken to peck at, shallow ponds for the Yunmeng Marsh Ducks to frolic in, bushes and bamboo groves for the Bright Moon Rabbit to roost in, and mudflats for the Earth Spirit Pig to wallow in.

Now that the situation in Chuyang City has been settled, the Zhao family has become a hidden pawn, and various other families are submitting to them. This is the best time to expand industries.

It's time to put the Zhou family's long-established high-end spirit beast meat sales channel to good use.

Lin Che landed at the edge of the territory of the Golden-feathered Chicken, his gaze sweeping over the dense flock of chickens.

Five thousand.

This was the size he determined after precise calculations.

In these breeding farms, each of the four carnivorous spirit beasts is kept to a population of around five thousand.

These are carefully selected "core populations" with the highest bloodline concentration, best growth conditions, and the best appearance.

For long-term cultivation.

The rest were released into various parts of the secret realm, allowing them to reproduce and live freely.

The free-roaming spirit beasts serve to construct the ecosystem of the secret realm.

They will become a food source for other spirit beasts, and through natural competition, the weak will be weeded out, providing Lin Che with more breeding material.

But these five thousand are the true "core of the industry".

Lin Che's gaze swept across the flock of chickens.

The Huangjing Jinyu chickens of today are completely different from the original batch.

Their bodies are fuller, and their feathers have changed from the original off-white to a pale golden yellow, gleaming with a warm luster in the sunlight.

The rooster's comb is brighter red, and its eyes are more lively.

Upon seeing Lin Che's arrival, he stood tall and proud, showing no fear whatsoever!

What pleased Lin Che the most were the individuals in the clan who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

At a glance, there are already several hundred second-tier Huangjing Brocade Feathered Chickens.

Not only the Huangjing Jinyu Chicken, but also the Yunmengze Duck, Haoyue Ling Rabbit, and Wutu Ling Pig have a considerable number of second-tier individuals.

It seems that their strength is improving very quickly.

But Lin Che knew that this was just a facade.

These four types of carnivorous spirit beasts all grow at an extremely fast rate.

Their bloodline characteristics determine their foundation.

They will prioritize using the absorbed spiritual energy for growth rather than for combat.

Unlike those battle spirit beasts, which require a long period of accumulation and arduous training to advance to each level, this one is different.

These little guys are great; all they need to do is eat well, sleep well, and grow well, and they'll naturally break through to new heights.

Their supernatural abilities are mostly passive, involving absorbing spiritual energy to purify their physical bodies and improve the quality of their flesh.

Therefore, its advancement speed is much faster than that of a normal spirit beast.

This is definitely a good thing for the Lin family.

This means that their flesh will become better and better, and the spiritual essence contained within their flesh and blood will become stronger and stronger.

The spiritual energy contained in the meat of a second-tier Huangjing Brocade Feathered Chicken is enough to benefit a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

What about the third order?

Lin Che's gaze passed over the ordinary flock of chickens and landed on the area at the very center of the territory.

It was built with exceptional care.

It has exquisite perches, a special feeding trough, a separate water source, and even a small garden planted with special spiritual plants.

That is the habitat of the Golden-eared Pheasant.

Golden Spike Spirit Chicken with a third-tier, low-grade bloodline.

These were selected by Lin Che from among five thousand golden-feathered chickens.

He personally performed bloodline upgrades on two hundred individuals with the strongest bloodlines.

Compared to their ancestors, the Golden-eared Chicken has undergone a complete transformation.

It is more robust in size and stands much taller than the ordinary Solomon's seal pheasant.

Its feathers evolved from off-white with gold edges to a pure pale gold, appearing as if draped in gold leaf in the sunlight.

The wheat-ear-like patterns on the tips of their feathers sway gently as they move, which is quite beautiful.

The comb turned golden-red, more vibrant and fuller than that of a regular golden pheasant.

Its beak and claws turned a pale gold color, with a metallic sheen.

Their habits have also undergone subtle changes.

It still retains the habit of pecking at tubers, but has begun to show a clear preference for spiritual plants rich in earth and metal elements.

The reason is their newly awakened supernatural powers:

Low-grade supernatural power - Golden Ear of Spirit.

This supernatural power is passive; it requires no activation or consumption.

It allows the Golden Spike Spirit Chicken to automatically absorb the sparse metallic spiritual energy in the environment during its growth process, which then merges with the earth element essence absorbed within its body and settles into its flesh and blood.

The end result is that their meat develops a unique sweet and fresh flavor, while also containing a subtle nourishing effect on the meridians.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, long-term consumption of this spiritual meat has a nourishing effect on the meridians that is no less than taking certain mid- to high-level elixirs.

For Golden Core cultivators, tasting it occasionally is a rare treat.

The Lin family plans to pursue a high-end meat-producing strategy in the future.

It's not just for cultivators who practice Qi Refining.

It should be geared towards Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They even aim to target Golden Core cultivators.

To achieve this goal, we need these "cute" little guys.

Of course, Lin Che does not intend to sell these two hundred Golden Spike Chickens for the time being.

They must continue to preserve their lineage, continue to breed, and continue to select the individuals with the strongest bloodlines to advance to the next rank.

As for those who were eliminated...

A smile appeared on Lin Che's lips.

Of course, it's for myself and my family to enjoy.

The Golden Spikes in the distance seemed to sense Lin Che's gaze, raising their heads and making "clucking" sounds, clearly unaware of his thoughts.

Lin Che smiled and shook his head, then turned and flew towards the next territory.

He personally inspected every territory, including the Yunmengze Duck, the Haoyue Spirit Rabbit, and the Wutu Spirit Pig.

After all, this is one of the most important sources of spirit stones for the Lin family in the future.

What the Lin family needs most right now is spirit stones!
