I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Before long, the group arrived at the southern part of Shattered Star Lake, an area perpetually shrouded in thick spiritual mist.

This place is shrouded in mist all day long. The thick spiritual fog acts as a natural barrier, isolating everything inside from the outside world.

Even on a clear midday, all you can see from outside is a vast expanse of white nothingness.

When divine sense probes in, it's like a mud ox entering the sea—weakened and distorted layer by layer, eventually dissipating into nothingness.

To conceal the existence of the secret realm, Lin Che had completely sealed off this area years ago.

It has only been open to the public once in more than a decade.

It was only a very small area, just to cover up the truth.

Not to mention the family's guest elders, even Wang Lingsu and the others had never truly set foot in the depths of this mist.

Lin Che stopped and took out the ancient-looking token from his waist.

The token flickered slightly, and a beam of light shot into the thick fog ahead.

The next moment, the dense fog that had been obstructing sight and consciousness seemed to come alive as it rolled and receded to both sides, revealing a clear and stable passage.

On both sides of the passage, the clouds and mist lingered and did not disperse, like two tall white walls that stretched straight into the depths.

Lin Che stepped in first.

Wang Lingsu, Liu Qingxue, and Liu Yunzhou exchanged glances, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation, before following closely behind and stepping into the passage.

After passing through a not-too-long passage through the clouds, the view suddenly opened up before us.

A well-planned, well-equipped, and vibrant spirit beast breeding farm unfolded before the three of them like a scroll painting.

A refreshing spiritual energy wafts over, mingled with the unique vitality of spiritual herbs, flowers, soil, and beasts.

The aroma wasn't pungent; instead, it had a certain indescribable sweetness that made you want to take a deep breath.

The three of them turned their gazes in unison to the direction they remembered.

That was the place where Lin Che first settled his spirit beasts.

The first thing that catches the eye is a lush bamboo grove closest to the entrance.

The bamboo shadows sway, and sunlight filters through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground.

A flock of vibrant yellow-feathered pheasants, their feathers as beautiful as moving brocade, were leisurely strolling and foraging in a forest clearing, occasionally emitting clear, melodious calls.

They either lower their heads to peck at food, chase and play, or flap their wings and leap onto low bamboo branches, completely at ease.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Wang Lingsu possessed exceptional eyesight and immediately recognized the difference between these spirit chickens.

She had seen many ordinary Huangjing Brocade Chickens, but the ones in front of her were clearly much stronger.

With a quick glance, she spotted over fifty second-tier Golden-feathered Chickens!

Those second-tier individuals were more robust, had brighter feathers, and more lively eyes, making them stand out among the chickens.

But what really catches the eye are the dozen or so chickens in the center of the flock.

They are much more robust in size, and are significantly larger than their companions.

The feathers changed from off-white to pale gold, with wheat-ear-shaped patterns on the tips, shimmering with a soft golden halo in the sunlight.

The rooster's comb is a pure, vibrant golden-red, and its beak and claws have turned a pale gold. Standing there, it exudes an air of distinction.

"Husband, what are these...?" Wang Lingsu asked uncertainly, though she already had a guess in her heart.

Lin Che smiled and nodded: "That's right, these are the Golden Spike Spirit Chickens whose bloodline has advanced to the third tier."

He stood with his hands behind his back, his tone carrying a hint of satisfaction:

"Their newly awakened supernatural power is called Golden Spike Spirit, which can passively absorb the sparse metallic spiritual energy in the environment, merge it with the earth element essence, and settle into the flesh and blood."

Ultimately, this will give their meat a unique sweet and savory flavor, while also providing a subtle nourishing effect on the meridians.

As he spoke, he pointed to the pond on the other side.

It was a shallow pond dug by hand, with clear water and a bottom covered with fine pebbles.

The pond is lined with reeds and calamus. A gentle breeze blows, and the reeds ripple and rustle.

Flocks of Yunmengze ducks are frolicking in the water, sometimes dipping their heads into the water to forage for food, and sometimes flapping their wings to preen their feathers, stirring up splashes of water.

The three of them looked in the direction he was pointing.

The most eye-catching were the dozen or so graceful ducks in the flock, their bodies surrounded by a light mist.

Where they swim, a thin layer of mist rises from the water, refracting a rainbow of colors in the sunlight, creating a dreamlike scene.

"Those are the Cloud Dream Spirit Ducks whose bloodline has advanced to the third tier."

Lin Che continued his introduction:

"Their supernatural power is called Yunmengze, which can passively gather water spiritual energy, giving their flesh the effect of nourishing the internal organs and calming the heart fire. It is especially suitable for cultivators who practice fire-type techniques, or for alchemists who refine pills for a long time."

He paused, then concluded, "Besides those that have already reached the second tier, these two types of third-tier bloodline spirit beasts will become the main force of the Lin family's high-end carnivorous spirit beasts in the future."

Even before tasting them, the three of them, having dealt with spirit beasts for many years, could immediately tell that these spirit beasts were extraordinary.

Their glossy feathers, plump bodies, lively eyes, and the subtle aura emanating from them all testify to their value and suggest that they are delicious.

Liu Qingxue's gaze was cold as she swept over the patch of moonlight grass in the distance.

That was an area specially created for the Bright Moon Rabbit, planted with Moon Shadow Grass, whose leaves shimmered with a faint silver light in the sunlight.

In the grass, the snow-white Moon Rabbits appeared and disappeared, some with their heads down nibbling, some with their ears pricked up on alert, and some hopping and playing.

Her gaze was quickly drawn to several particularly striking figures.

They were several snow-white rabbits, their fur so pure and unblemished that it shimmered with a soft, silvery-white moonlight under the sun, as if enveloped in a hazy glow.

They crouched quietly deep in the grass, almost blending into the moonlight were it not for their occasional twitching ears.

Liu Yunzhou stared wide-eyed at the muddy area on the other side.

In the mud, robust Earth Spirit Pigs were rolling around comfortably, covering their entire bodies in mud, with only their two small eyes and constantly flapping ears showing.

Some of them lay on the edge of the mud pit basking in the sun, while others rubbed against each other in groups of three or five, making satisfied humming sounds.

In the deepest part of the mud, several giant pigs, more than twice the size of the other spirit pigs, stood out conspicuously.

They lay there like small hills, and with each breath, a yellowish-brown halo could be seen flowing around them.

"I have also cultivated individuals with third-tier bloodlines from both of these spirit beasts," Lin Che's voice rang out.

He first pointed to the few snow-white figures in the moonlight grass:

"They are called the Jade Rabbit of the Bright Moon. Their awakened supernatural power is called the Jade Rabbit Brings Auspiciousness. When consumed under a specific lunar phase, they can slightly enhance a cultivator's comprehension and the depth of their meditation, indirectly helping them break through minor bottlenecks."

Then he pointed to the giant pigs in the mud:

"That one over there, which is a size larger, is called the Earth Mother Spirit Pig."

"Their supernatural power is called Thick Earth Returns to Origin, which can continuously absorb the essence of Earth and settle it in the flesh and blood. Their flesh has special value for body cultivation. Long-term consumption can help temper the bones and muscles and accelerate the progress of body refining techniques."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the three of them, a slight smile playing on his lips: "The value it contains is self-evident; you should understand it without me having to elaborate."

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately brightened up.

The former is a spiritual object that can enhance a cultivator's comprehension, and it is sought after everywhere.

Comprehension is a mysterious thing; sometimes it's just a tiny spark of inspiration that you can't quite grasp.

Spiritual objects that can increase comprehension are naturally rare.

The latter is even more remarkable.

Why don't most cultivators choose to cultivate both Qi and body?

It's not because I don't want to, but because I don't have the time.

Body tempering takes an extremely long time, requiring decades of consistent practice; it cannot be rushed or hasty.

The Earth Mother Spirit Pig can accelerate this process, even if it's only by one or two percent, which is of immeasurable value to those cultivators who aspire to refine their bodies.

Wang Lingsu, Liu Qingxue, and Liu Yunzhou gazed at the well-planned spirit beast park before them, and at the spirit beasts whose bloodlines had advanced and whose value was extraordinary. Their hearts were filled with shock and amazement.

Liu Yunzhou withdrew his gaze from the Earth Mother Spirit Pig and landed on Lin Che's calm and composed face.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the patriarch in a golden halo, making his tall figure appear exceptionally imposing amidst the surrounding spirit beasts.

A wave of emotion welled up in his heart:

As expected of the patriarch... he's incredibly strong.

From nothing to something, from weak to strong, from a small Foundation Establishment family to a Golden Core power with third-tier spiritual veins, a third-tier clan protection array, and third-tier spirit beasts.

Along the way, every step has been taken steadily and meticulously, with plans made in an orderly manner.

Liu Yunzhou suddenly felt a sense of anticipation, wondering what the entire Chuyang City would think when the value of these spirit beasts was truly revealed to the world on the day the Chamber of Commerce opened!
