I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

"These will be the high-end meats that our Lin family will sell to the public in the future."

Lin Che withdrew his gaze from the four pools and placed it on Wang Lingsu.

"Include all eight of these spirit beasts in our chamber of commerce's spirit beast sales catalog."

He paused, then added, "Not only adults, but also cubs can be sold now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lingsu's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression before she nodded in agreement: "Okay."

She quickly made notes on the jade slip in her hand.

Golden Spike Spirit Chicken, Cloud Dream Spirit Duck, Bright Moon Jade Rabbit, Earth Mother Spirit Pig.

In addition, there are these four kinds of spirit fish: Jade Shrimp, Silver Thread Spirit Stream Fish, Golden Scale Red-Eyed Trout, and Ironhead Fish.

Eight kinds of spirit beasts, eight product lines, each of which is enough to become the guild's flagship product.

Just then, Liu Yunzhou suddenly spoke up and asked a crucial question:

"Patriarch, what if other families buy our cubs and breed them themselves? Wouldn't all your efforts be wasted?"

That's a very good question.

The three of them looked at Lin Che at the same time, all with the same doubt in their eyes.

Lin Che laughed.

He raised his hand and waved, and a jade slip flew out from his sleeve and hovered in front of everyone.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about this issue." Lin Che's voice revealed a sense of composure, as if he had been prepared all along.

"This is a secret technique for castrating spirit beasts. The adult spirit beasts or cubs we sell must undergo this secret technique before they are sold to the public."

Lin Che's beast-taming inheritance naturally contains the corresponding records, which is the most crucial issue in the art of beast-taming and breeding.

How to prevent our superior varieties from being lost to others and copied by them.

"In this way, the spirit beasts bought by outsiders will not be able to reproduce on their own. If they want to eat meat, they can only continue to buy from our Lin family. As for cultivating their own breed, that's just wishful thinking."

"The patriarch has foresight!"

Liu Yunzhou accepted the secret technique with both hands and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

He looked down at the jade slip in his hand, as if he could already see the future prosperity of the Lin family business.

Lin Che waved his hand, his gaze sweeping across the water and towards the deeper part of the area.

"Alright, let's continue. The real fun is yet to come."

Upon hearing this, the three of them perked up once again.

……

After crossing a low hillside, the scenery suddenly changed.

A faint metallic scent permeated the air, mixed with an indescribable, sharp, and menacing aura.

Scattered on the ground were ores of all sizes, some gleaming silver, some reddish, and some as black as ink.

In the distance, a peculiar cluster of buildings is built against the mountain, constructed entirely of a metallic material that gleams with a cold, hard luster in the sunlight.

"Buzzing—"

A series of rapid, dense flapping sounds of wings approached from afar.

The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw dozens of spirit bees, each about the size of a fist, rapidly gathering from the direction of the building complex.

Their bodies have a metallic texture, their wings are transparent yet shimmer with a faint golden light, and the spikes on their tails gleam dangerously in the sunlight.

It is a soldier bee of the Gold-Eating Bee clan.

They circled several feet away from the group, seemingly on guard, or perhaps trying to identify the newcomers.

With a slight thought, Lin Che unleashed a faint aura of pressure from his body.

The soldier bees seemed to sense the familiar pheromones. After circling a few times, they stopped being wary and turned around, flying back to the nest they had come from.

The three of them looked at the strange bees with curiosity, while also taking in the unusual environment.

The air was metallic, the air sharp and menacing, and the ground was covered with minerals.

Everything here was completely different from the spirit beast park they had seen before.

"This is a spirit beast I obtained in the Burial Valley Secret Realm years ago, called the Gold-Eating Bee."

Lin Che strode forward, explaining as he went.

I passed by worker bees diligently munching on the ore.

They are slightly smaller than soldier bees, and they constantly chew hard minerals, making a soft cracking sound.

"Unlike ordinary bees, they are quite special; they don't eat nectar, but rather metals."

Upon hearing this, all three were slightly taken aback.

A metal-feeding bee? That's unheard of.

Just as Lin Che was introducing the situation, a huge figure flew out from the depths of the nest and rapidly approached the direction where everyone was.

It was a huge bee, its entire body a pure gold color, with a faint golden shimmer as its wings flapped.

Her aura was far stronger than that of the worker bees and soldier bees around her.

The queen bee flew to Lin Che, hovered in mid-air, and respectfully lowered her huge head to bow to him.

Then, she turned to Wang Lingsu and the other two, nodded slightly as a greeting.

This one is not the one Lin Che rescued in the Burial Valley Secret Realm; that one had already reached the third-tier bloodline.

This Gold-Eating Bee swarm was separated and prepared by Lin Che for his family.

"This is the queen bee of the gold-devouring bees; she is a member of my Lin family."

When the Southern District Spirit Beast Garden opens in the future, these spirit beasts will live here.

It's necessary to introduce both sides now.

The queen bee seemed to understand Lin Che's words. A hint of humanity flashed in her compound eyes, and she nodded slightly to the three of them again.

Wang Lingsu and the other two quickly returned the greeting.

After the introduction, Lin Che gestured for the Queen Bee to continue with her own business.

The queen bee understood, bowed again, and then flew back to the depths of her nest.

After the queen bee had gone, Lin Che continued his introduction:

"This Gold-Eating Bee is an extremely rare spirit beast, known as the 'walking spirit stone'."

"The queen bee has a peculiar 'gold-melting stomach'."

Worker bees collect various mixed metal ores to feed the queen bee.

These ores undergo a rigorous process of purification and refinement within the queen bee's body, ultimately secreting a special substance from her abdomen—

He paused, then said, word by word:

"This substance is called Royal Jelly."

"This is a liquid spiritual metal that is extremely spiritual, highly malleable, and can perfectly conduct spiritual energy. Once solidified, it is indestructible and is a top-grade material for refining natal magic weapons, high-level flying swords, and the core of sophisticated puppets."

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

In an instant, they understood the value of this spirit bee.

A spirit beast capable of producing top-tier refining materials.

For any cultivation family, this is the most crucial resource!

They are ten or even a hundred times more precious than those carnivorous spirit beasts!

Wang Lingsu was writing rapidly on the jade slip in her hand, her eyes filled with excitement.

As the family's head steward, she knew all too well what this core resource of "sustainable output" meant to the family.

Liu Qingxue maintained her aloof demeanor, but a hint of surprise flashed deep in her eyes.

Liu Yunzhou gasped in shock.

Lin Che waved his hand, interrupting their sighs.

"Alright, don't be so quick to exclaim. There's more to come."

He turned and continued walking forward.

……

Over the next period of time, Lin Che led the three of them to visit the living areas of the Wind-Treading Steed, the Petrified Lizard, and the Azure-Eyed Eagle.

Along the way, there were a total of twelve kinds of spirit beasts.

Each one filled the three of them with a mixture of surprise and delight.

They understood from the start that the majority of the money in the Chamber of Commerce came from the head of the family.

But when they saw it with their own eyes, they were shocked to realize that their previous predictions were too conservative.

Next time I must be bolder.

This was a shared thought in the minds of the three.

……

After the tour, everyone returned to a wide-open flat area.

Lin Che took out several jade slips and distributed them to the three people.

"These are the detailed rules, precautions, and recipes for raising various spirit beasts."

He looked at Wang Lingsu: "I was busy with matters related to pills last night and couldn't come. The Northern District Spirit Herb Garden needs to be expanded to grow more spirit beast food. You will be in charge of coordinating this matter."

The family's spiritual vein has now been upgraded to the third level, so even if the planting area is increased, the spiritual energy can be supplied in sufficient quantities.

Wang Lingsu took the jade slip and nodded solemnly: "Understood."

I've pretty much finished explaining everything.

Wang Lingsu put away the jade slip, suddenly remembering something:

"By the way, my husband, when do you plan to hold your Golden Elixir Banquet?"

Lin Che was taken aback.

He was so busy lately that he completely forgot about it.

The Golden Core Banquet is a celebratory banquet held according to tradition after a Golden Core cultivator is promoted to the Golden Core stage.

It is not only a way to demonstrate strength and build connections, but also a formal ceremony to announce the family's status to the outside world.

Given his personality, it doesn't really matter to him whether the event is held or not.

I'm used to keeping a low profile and don't like those pretentious events.

But the Chamber of Commerce is about to open...

Lin Che pondered for a moment, and a plan gradually formed in his eyes.

"Let's set it for a month from now," he said slowly, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Our chamber of commerce will be opening in a few days, so let's take this opportunity to promote it."

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a glance, and a smile flashed in their eyes.

The Golden Elixir Banquet serves as a warm-up for the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce then capitalizes on the momentum of the Golden Elixir Banquet.

Doing two things together will definitely double the effect.

"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away," Wang Lingsu said with a smile.
