I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

"Cangming Jiao, shall we begin?"

In the secluded meditation room, Lin Xuanqi, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

A gentle smile appeared on his round face, his eyebrows and eyes curved, as kind and approachable as ever.

But at this moment, there was a hint of solemnity and determination in those eyes that was rarely seen on ordinary days.

He took a deep breath, feeling the surging true energy within his body.

That power flowed slowly through the meridians, as if it could break through some invisible barrier at any moment.

At this moment, he felt that he had reached the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

That boundary was so close, almost within reach.

The creature hovering opposite him was his natal spirit beast, the Cangming Jiao.

The giant dragon that had followed him for many years was now coiled up, its snake eyes filled with solemnity, and its body was faintly surrounded by water vapor, radiating a soft light.

It nodded slowly, letting out a low, powerful hiss:

"good!"

Lin Xuanqi closed his eyes, made hand seals, and began to slowly circulate his internal energy according to the route of the "Ten Thousand Beasts Paying Homage to the Ancestor Technique".

Foundation building begins.

……

Outside, the Lin family members were gathered.

Wang Lingsu stood at the front, her hands clasped in front of her. Although her face was calm, her eyes held an undisguised concern and expectation.

Su Wanwan stood beside her, also looking at the closed door, and softly comforted her, "Sister Lingsu, Xuanqi has a solid foundation, he will definitely succeed."

"I know," Wang Lingsu smiled slightly.

"As a mother, I'm bound to worry."

Lin Xuanjing was the first to arrive.

How could he possibly miss out on such a lively event?

He was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, legs crossed, holding a chess piece in his hand, smiling as he looked at Lin Xuanyu opposite him.

"Brother, you'd better hurry! Look at me, I've been at the Foundation Establishment stage for two and a half years, and I'm about to break through too. Our Lin family needs you!"

Lin Xuanyu placed a piece expressionlessly, his tone as calm as still water: "I have my own rhythm."

"Yes, yes, you have your own rhythm." Lin Xuanjing blinked, his smile becoming increasingly mischievous: "Is it really not because you're still missing that tiny bit of feeling?"

Lin Xuanyu's lips twitched slightly.

He glanced at the chessboard, then at Lin Xuanjing, his tone remaining calm:

"Can you shut your stinking mouth? And don't think that just because you're fast enough I can't see you move the pieces. Do you think I'm stupid, or that I can't remember the game?"

"hey-hey!"

Lin Xuanjing awkwardly withdrew his hand that had been secretly moving the chess piece, and looked away with an innocent expression.

Not far away, Lin Che stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the tightly closed door.

The foundation-building fluctuations emanating from inside the room were steady yet powerful.

Although the initial aura rose rapidly, it was not chaotic at all, and the flow of true energy was even more robust and solid.

This demonstrates a solid foundation.

Moreover, Xuanqi's Nine-Refined Golden Body is already perfected.

There is no reason why foundation building should fail.

Lin Che nodded slightly, feeling gratified.

The eldest son has never caused any trouble since he was little.

He is kind and honest, down-to-earth, and once he sets his mind on a direction, he moves forward step by step.

Although he is not as sharp and outspoken as Xuan Jing, nor as persistent and focused as Xuan Feng, this composure is exactly what the family needs.

He turned his head to look to his side.

Lin Xuanfeng stood there, his physique growing increasingly robust.

He's grown so much in the last two years, I don't know how, he's shot up in height, and he's almost a head taller than Lin Che now.

With broad shoulders and a thick chest, he stood there like an iron tower.

With his burly and rugged appearance, it's hard to associate him with a "sword cultivator".

"How's it going, Xuanfeng? When do you think you'll be able to establish your foundation?"

Xuanfeng, Xuanyu, and the others had actually already reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation; they were just missing that final spark.

The children all chose to initiate the foundation-building process themselves, with the assistance of spirit beasts, so that sense of feeling was especially important.

This method is much more difficult than using the Foundation Building Pill.

The difficulty lies in having a deep foundation and abundant inner energy to withstand repeated impacts;

The difficulty lies in the requirement that one must have mastered body refinement and have a strong enough physical body to withstand the transformation during the Foundation Establishment stage.

The difficulty lies in the fact that one must first perceive the barrier of that realm and then activate the dantian qi sea to break through it on its own.

But the advantage is that the success rate is extremely high.

Once these prerequisites are met, foundation building is a sure thing.

Moreover, Foundation Establishment is, in a sense, the first and crucial step on the path of cultivation.

Only with a solid foundation in this first step can one go further in the future and surpass others at the same level.

Xuan Jing was so strong even though he had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and that's what he relied on.

Upon hearing his father's question, Lin Xuanfeng thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

Those eyes were bright and resolute, without the slightest hesitation:

"Anytime!"

Just now, at the moment his elder brother broke through, he also vaguely grasped that feeling.

The barrier that had troubled him for so long seemed to have loosened a little.

A hint of relief flashed in Lin Che's eyes.

"Very good. Once you've completed your foundation building, I'll give you a surprise."

As soon as he said this, everyone around turned to look at him.

surprise?

Lin Xuanjing's eyes lit up instantly, and he even forgot to put down the chess piece in his hand.

Although Lin Xuanyu remained calm on the surface, his hand holding the chess piece paused slightly.

Even the usually composed Lin Xuanjing couldn't help but look over.

Lin Xuanfeng scratched his head, his honest face full of curiosity.

He took a step forward, lowered his voice, and asked in a volume only the two of them could hear:

"Why don't you tell me secretly, Dad? I promise, you'll still be pleasantly surprised, and I definitely won't give you away!"

Lin Che's lips twitched slightly.

He slapped his son's broad shoulder with such force that Lin Xuanfeng winced.

"Want to know? Hurry up and successfully complete your Foundation Establishment!"

Lin Xuanfeng rubbed his shoulder, chuckled, and wasn't annoyed.

As everyone was chatting, a clear vibration suddenly came from inside the room.

That is a sign of successful foundation building.

The true energy was released outwards, and the aura suddenly surged, then slowly receded and returned to calm.

Everyone looked towards the door at the same time.

Footsteps sounded.

The door was opened.

Lin Xuanqi stepped out, a gentle smile on his round face.

He exuded a calm and composed aura, completely different from before he established his foundation.

It was a restrained, harmonious aura, as if it were closer to the spirit of heaven and earth.

"I have fulfilled my mission." He cupped his hands slightly, his smile honest and simple: "I have successfully established my foundation!"

Congratulations, big brother!

"Hey, I knew you could do it, bro!"

Lin Xuanjing was the first to rush forward, slapping his older brother on the shoulder with a smile brighter than anyone else's.

Lin Xuanyu also put down the chess piece, got up and walked over. Although he didn't say anything, the smile in his eyes was impossible to hide.

The others also stepped forward to congratulate him.

Wang Lingsu stood aside, watching the children playing around, her eyes filled with a gratified smile.

Lin Che stepped forward and patted Lin Xuanqi on the shoulder.

"Well done."

His voice wasn't loud, but it conveyed genuine satisfaction.

As he spoke, Lin Che took something out of his storage bag.

It was a bright blue spirit beast egg, about the size of a human head, with a soft glow flowing around it.

Lin Che's voice rang out

"This egg also contains the Cangming Jiao lineage, but this one is a Qinglin Jiaolong with a fourth-order top-grade bloodline."

"This is the second natal spirit beast I prepared for you."

Lin Xuanqi stared blankly at the spirit beast egg in his hand, speechless for a moment.

"A top-grade spirit beast?!"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

As a family of beast tamers, they know best what the words "top-grade bloodline" mean.

That is the pinnacle of spirit beast bloodline, the most outstanding existence among those of the same level.

A spirit beast with top-grade bloodline possesses combat power far exceeding that of its peers, and its potential is unfathomable.

If properly nurtured, there is a high probability that they can break through the shackles of bloodline and reach a higher level.

Lin Xuanjing's eyes lit up instantly.

He almost instantly moved closer to Lin Che, staring longingly at the spirit beast egg, and then longingly at his own father.

That expression clearly said: Dad, you're being unfair! I've been at the Foundation Establishment stage for two and a half years, and I still haven't gotten my second natal spirit beast!

Lin Che was amused by his appearance and reached out to push away the big face that was leaning in.

His gaze swept over the children, and he said solemnly, "Don't worry, each of you will have a second natal spirit beast with top-grade bloodline."

He looked at Lin Xuanjing, a hint of a smile in his voice:

"You'll get your share, kid, but only for now. I haven't found a top-quality wind-attribute spirit beast yet, so I'll have to wait a bit longer."

Lin Xuanjing blinked, and the grievance on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by an "okay then" expression.

"That's a deal!"

Lin Xuanqi looked at the spirit beast egg in front of him, solemnly stretched out his hands, and took it.

The eggshell feels warm and smooth to the touch, and you can faintly feel a weak yet powerful pulse inside.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Che, his eyes filled with solemnity and gratitude.

"Thank you for your kindness, Father." His voice was deep and firm.

"I will grow alongside him and become the Lin family's strongest weapon!"

Lin Che smiled with satisfaction.

He then took out another storage bag from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Xuanqi.

"You enjoy tasting all kinds of delicious food. Here is some meat from various third-tier spirit beasts that I have cultivated. Consider it a gift for your successful Foundation Establishment."

Lin Xuanqi took the storage bag and probed it with his divine sense.

There is one portion of each of the three-tier spirit fish and the four types of three-tier spirit birds.

Neatly stacked in the storage bag, they exuded an alluring spiritual aura.

The expression on his face instantly became even happier than when he received the spirit beast egg.

"I'll cook! We'll have a big meal tonight!"

"Great!"

Everyone responded in unison, gathering around him to discuss how they wanted to cook the dish.

Lin Che stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene before him. He exchanged glances with his wives, and smiles appeared on their faces.
