Qualification: 100

Skill: 1. Pasture: Herds cattle to tidy up the soil in the target area, making the soil fertile and loose, suitable for cultivation.

2. Nourishing Roots: The grazing oxen surround themselves with earth energy, which greatly nourishes ordinary plants around them, promoting their growth.

"Herding Yellow Oxen" are not a very popular source beast. Apart from certain families with special needs, no spiritually awakened contract masters would choose to contract them.

Firstly, no evolutionary form of the "Yellow Ox" has been discovered, and its skills do not have any combat capabilities; it can only be used to cultivate ordinary plants.

Secondly, the sons of noble families would never allow their children to choose a source beast with no future. Even ordinary families that have accumulated wealth for generations and finally managed to awaken a spirit beast would not allow a contract master who has finally appeared to contract a source beast that can only be used for farming.

Therefore, there are very few source beasts like "Herding Yellow Ox". There are only four of them, which have already bought up all the stock in the Treasure Pavilion. So it is hard to guarantee that there will be a big difference in terms of quality, size or age.

Just like the one Chen Xiaohui chose, it is the only one among the four with exceptional qualities; the other three have ordinary qualities.

Next, the other three boys signed contracts with "Herding Yellow Oxen" in turn.

Seeing that they had completed their contracts, Chu Qinhui nodded slightly. "Now that you have successfully formed contracts, I will explain the arrangements for you."

Everyone present naturally knew that the awakening of spirits and the contract with the source beast would not be completely free. Although the master was kind-hearted, he was not a saint who asked for nothing in return. Therefore, when Chu Qinhui spoke, everyone listened attentively.

"Your duties are not difficult; they are simply to reclaim wasteland and help the village cultivate the land. As for the specific measures, you should go back and discuss a plan with the village chief based on the specific circumstances of the village and each of you, and submit it to us. If it is feasible, then we will implement it according to your proposal."

Today I want to emphasize the issue of salary. Because the family has spent a considerable amount of money to awaken your spirits and form contracts with your source beasts, you will not receive any salary for the first three years of your work. Are you willing to accept this?

After asking the question, Chu Qinhui observed the expressions of the people below the steps.

The fact that there would be no salary for three years immediately put everyone's expressions at ease. It was only three years without salary; even if it were five or seven years without salary, there would probably be plenty of people vying for this spot.

"We are willing."

Chu Qinhui nodded in satisfaction. Actually, this question should have been asked before they started the spiritual awakening, but Chu Qinhui had anticipated this scene, so he did not ask it in advance.

"However, in order to ensure the normal growth of your source beasts, you can receive the feed rations needed for herding cattle for the month when you come to report for work at the beginning of each month."

Upon hearing this, the boys' faces lit up with joy. They had been worried about the food for the source beast, as it certainly couldn't just eat ordinary pasture. If their master made this arrangement, they would have no worries at all and could simply focus on their work.

Hearing the gratitude expressed once again, Chu Qinhui waved his hand, "That's all my arrangements. If any of you village chiefs have any questions, please feel free to ask now."

Just as the other village chiefs looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they had no problem, Liu Qinghe, the village chief of Qingsha Village, stepped forward and reported:

"I must inform the young master that just two days ago, a crocodile-like beast appeared to have entered the Qingsha River next to our Qingsha Village, injuring several villagers."

We implore the master to take a look, otherwise the very foundation upon which our Qingsha Village depends for survival may be severed.

"Such a thing is true." Chu Qinhui's face showed surprise. "Where did that source beast come from? What does it look like? How big is it?"

"It suddenly appeared in the river yesterday. We don't know where it came from. According to the villagers who saw it, it looks like a crocodile, is nearly five meters long, and can spew out long jets of water from its mouth. It's quite terrifying."

Chu Qinhui pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, you go back and tell the villagers to be careful and not to go out. I will send someone to check the situation."

The host family was willing to resolve the matter, and Liu Qinghe, the village chief of Qingsha Village, expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Chu Qinhui waved his hand, allowing the village chiefs and boys to take the "Yellow Oxen" back.

Chen Ling followed closely behind her grandfather. She glanced back at Chu Shengfan standing under the eaves, bit her lip, and then made a bold decision.

She turned around, jogged a few steps to Chu Shengfan, and then handed him a blue and green purse with both hands.

Chu Shengfan was somewhat bewildered. Of course he knew Chen Ling. Before his family produced a source artifact, he often saw her when he went down the mountain. When Chen Ling handed him the purse, he naturally accepted it.

Then, smiling, she said, "Thank you."

He searched through his personal jade pendant and finally found a jade plaque carved with a rare beast, which he handed to Chen Ling. "This is for you."

Chen Ling blushed, carefully took the jade pendant, and whispered, "Thank you." Then she turned and ran to her grandfather, who was glaring at her.

Having witnessed his granddaughter's actions, Chen Zhengchang, the village chief of Fuhe Village, smiled broadly. It seemed that what his youngest son had mentioned was indeed plausible.

The village chiefs of the other villages, witnessing this scene, were filled with regret. They should have brought their most beautiful and suitable-aged girls along.

She didn't aspire to be the master's wife; even being a concubine would be enough to benefit the village.

No matter how much they regretted it, they couldn't say anything. They could only silently admire the village chief of Fuhe Village for his cleverness.

Everyone disappeared outside the front hall. Chu Shengfan looked at the purse in his hand strangely, not understanding why Chen Ling gave him this thing but didn't say anything in the end. What did it mean?

"What, you like that girl?"

It wasn't until his father's teasing voice came from beside him that Chu Shengfan looked surprised. "What do you like?"

"You didn't like her, yet you exchanged tokens of love with her."

Hearing his father's words, Chu Shengfan's expression became even more puzzled. "A token of love?"

Forgive him, he's only thirteen years old; he really doesn't understand what a token of love is.

Seeing his son's utterly clueless expression, Chu Qinhui shook his head helplessly. "Let me ask you another way. Do you want Xiaoling to be your bride, so you can live together like your mother and I have?"

Chu Shengfan thought about his father's question seriously for a moment, and then answered honestly, "I don't know, it probably doesn't matter."

Hearing Chu Shengfan's answer, Chu Qinhui sighed speechlessly, "Blockhead, blockhead." He shouted as he quickly left, as if afraid of being infected by Chu Shengfan's blockhead.

Chu Shengfan scratched his head, not understanding why his father had such a strong reaction; he really didn't know.
