I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

If you want to develop a population of Wangtianyin, this family of three is not enough.

Lin Che put down his wine cup, his gaze falling on the Blue-Faced Fox King: "Are there any other traces of the Sky-Gazing Chant nearby?"

The Blue-Faced Fox King shook his head, his tone tinged with regret:

"This family is the only Wangtianyin clan in my Qingfeng Gorge. They like high cliffs and windy spots, have a strong sense of territory, and never interact with each other. I have been here for many years and have only seen this one family."

Lin Che nodded slightly, feeling somewhat disappointed but not surprised.

The Sky-Gazing Cicada is a solitary bird by nature, and finding a nest of them is already a stroke of luck.

He stopped asking questions and instead steered the conversation toward the surrounding demonic beast forces.

When Lin Che asked, it answered without reservation, telling him everything it knew.

The topic gradually unfolded.

Lin Che learned that there were six major demon beast forces within several hundred miles of Chuyang City.

These are all species with third-tier demonic beasts guarding them.

Or rather, in this region, only species that exist at the third tier can grow and thrive, and gain a foothold in the brutal competition for survival.

Further in through Qingfeng Gorge, about four thousand miles away, lies the territory of the fourth-tier demonic beast, the Burning Sky Crimson Ape.

That was the true overlord of this region. When the beast tide came, it was this race that led the surrounding monsters to launch the attack.

Lin Che listened quietly, memorizing all the information.

This understanding gave him a general idea of ​​the distribution of demonic beasts around Chuyang City, as well as the Burning Sky Crimson Ape, which might be his greatest enemy in the future.

The value of this intelligence is absolutely no less than that of those few birds that gaze at the sky.

He saw the sincerity of the Blue-Faced Fox King.

Lin Che put down his wine cup and looked directly at the Blue-Faced Fox King: "Then do you know who the main instigator of this beast tide is? Why does he keep launching beast tides into the Southern Region? What is his purpose?"

He paused, then added, "I'll find out about the past history of the Southern Region from the human side; as for the demon beasts, that's for you to investigate."

In fact, Lin Che had long known the origin of the hostility between the human race and the demon beasts in the Southern Region.

What he wanted to know was which demonic beast faction was organizing this continuous beast tide.

Surviving this is just the beginning; calming the beast tide is the key.

But if we tell the other party directly, I'm afraid that old fox will have other ideas.

Instead of relying on the results of the other party's investigation, why not exchange them for the secrets you already know?

The Blue-Faced Fox King remained silent for a moment.

"No problem." It raised its head, its amber eyes showing both seriousness and helplessness.

"I started investigating this matter many years ago, but we are ultimately demon beasts, and our investigative capabilities regarding humans are limited, so we have never gotten an answer."

Their race possesses a strong talent for illusion magic, yet they still cannot pass through the formation of the Burning Bone Pass.

Only from the words of those rogue demon hunters could one obtain bits and pieces of information.

It was only in these years, with the establishment of Chuyang City, that it gained a relatively stable source of information.

It looked at Lin Che, already having a guess in its mind.

The person in front of me should be the head of the Lin family in Chuyang City, the famous beast-taming family.

Establishing trade cooperation with them would definitely be a good choice.

Unlike those other hotheaded demon kings nearby who only knew how to fight and fight for territory.

It understood the power of the human race and how far they had come on the path of cultivation.

It understands that only by establishing good cooperation and trade relations with the human race can it break through its current limitations.

This place is too small. How many spiritual creatures could be suitable for them to break through to the fourth rank?

But cooperating with humans is a different story.

Once the cooperation stabilizes, it will be able to purchase spiritual items from the entire Southern Region through the Lin family as a window.

With the general framework for cooperation established, the two men's conversation naturally warmed up.

The Blue-Faced Fox King ordered his people to show Lin Che several spiritual creatures produced by their clan.

There is the Green-faced Foxtail Grass that can calm the mind and stabilize the soul, the Illusion Heart Stone that can assist in the cultivation of illusion magic, and several kinds of minerals and spiritual herbs that are special to Qingfeng Gorge.

It has some understanding of the human race and knows what is valuable to cultivators.

Lin Che reviewed the list one by one, made a mental assessment, and gave a rough quote.

Then, he took out several bottles of pills from his storage bag and placed them on the table.

"This is a spirit beast nurturing pill, a specialty of our Lin family."

He picked up a bottle and pushed it in front of the Blue-Faced Fox King: "These kinds are specially made to help spirit beasts grow; you can't buy them on the market."

He gave them only very common types from his family's beast-taming tradition.

But for the Green-Faced Fox King, it was already a pleasant surprise.

It already knew about those pills that could accelerate the growth of spirit beasts, and they were one of its main objectives in achieving trade.

Unexpectedly, the Lin family head brought out goods that were far better than anything it had learned about on the market.

It picked up a bottle, uncorked it, and took a gentle sniff. Its amber eyes immediately lit up.

"Fellow Daoist Lin," its voice trembled with excitement, "these pills..."

"After the cooperation, we can supply you long-term." Lin Che raised his wine glass and smiled slightly.

"Of course, the price is negotiable."

The Blue-Faced Fox King nodded repeatedly, his attitude becoming increasingly enthusiastic.

The two then discussed the types, quantities, and prices of the pills, and the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the cave.

The three of them passed through the dark cave entrance and entered the magnificent reception room, which was decorated with illusions.

Lin Che was keeping an eye on them and naturally informed them of what was happening there.

Lin Xuanjing, who was walking at the front, was carrying a spirit beast bag in his hand, and his smile was so bright that it was almost dazzling.

Behind him, Lin Xuanqi and Lin Xuanfeng stood on either side of him. Although their expressions were calm, their eyes revealed an undisguised joy.

"Dad!" Lin Xuanjing called out as he entered, his voice full of smugness, "All done! And the younger ones too, take them all!"

Lin Che put down his wine glass and looked at his sons.

"Are you injured?" Lin Che asked.

"No!" Lin Xuanjing patted his chest.

"The three of us worked together flawlessly! The eldest brother commanded, I led the attack, and the youngest defended; it simply couldn't find a weakness!"

Lin Xuanqi coughed softly from behind: "They've been fighting for almost two hours."

Lin Xuanjing's smugness froze for a moment: "...That's what you call fast?"

Lin Xuanfeng added expressionlessly, "We only found our opportunity when it was tired."

"That's still a win!" Lin Xuanjing said confidently.

Lin Che looked at his three sons, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He stood up and cupped his hands towards the Blue-Faced Fox King: "Fellow Daoist, that's all for today. We can discuss the cooperation in detail another day."

The Green-Faced Fox King also stood up and solemnly returned the greeting: "Fellow Daoist Lin, please take care. Wang Tianyin is proud and arrogant, and raising a cub is not easy. If needed, please send a message at any time."

He then got up to see them off.

Lin Che stopped him and turned to walk out of the cave with the three boys.

With his three sons following behind, Lin Xuanjing muttered to himself, "He clearly won based on his own strength..."

As we stepped out of the wind tunnel, dusk was approaching.

The sky above the canyon was dyed a golden-red by the sunset, and the fierce wind seemed to have softened a bit.

Lin Che stopped and looked back at the wind cave hidden deep in the cliff, then at his three sons beside him, who were covered in dirt but full of spirit.

"Let's go home. I'll tell you the details of my cooperation with the Blue-Faced Fox clan when we get back."
