Eternal Beast Taming Family

The world is full of diverse Origin Beasts, and even Sun Chunchen cannot recognize them all.

Chu Jingyu explained from the side, "This is called a floating jellyfish. It doesn't have any special abilities when it's at the mortal level, but it can emit different colors of light, so it's quite an interesting little gadget."

Sun Chunchen looked at the three small jellyfish floating in the air and smiled, "They'd be pretty good as night lights."

Xiao Fan hasn't been back to town for several days now. Has he chosen a different-tier source beast yet?

"I've made my choice. It's the evolved form of this source beast in your hand, the Rainbow Jellyfish." Chu Jingyu had nothing to hide from Sun Chunchen.

Sun Chunchen looked at the small jellyfish with a slightly surprised expression. They looked so delicate and weak. Could they have undergone some great changes when they reached the next level? Otherwise, why would Xiao Fan have agreed to form a contract with them?

"Alright, then I'll have to nurture it properly and see how it goes."

Chu Jingyu glanced at the three small jellyfish and his lips twitched. "You'd better not rush to cultivate them. When they reach the Spirit Rank, they will grow to tens of meters in size, which doesn't seem suitable for your town."

"Oh? You mean, in order to raise these three little guys, I'll have to get them a farm?"

"Pretty much, but they don't seem to be growing that fast."

Sun Chunchen flicked the three little guys with his fingers, causing them to spray small clouds of cotton-like mist around them. "Xiao Fan, are you still going to take this position in town?"

I think if possible, we should send him out to see the world, to know how vast it is, so that he can develop lofty ambitions.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jingyu hesitated. "Send it out?"

Sun Chunchen nodded. "Yes, there is an academy in Qianling Prefecture that recruits contract masters. There are contract masters from all over the country, as well as many rare and exotic beasts whose names I have never heard of. It would be good to send him there to see the sights."

The academy's admissions season is in about three months. Xiao Fan's cultivation level and age are both suitable, so it would be a good idea to give it a try.

Chu Jingyu lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. The family was not unable to support a member studying abroad. Now that he had reached the Spirit Rank, he had enough time to take care of the family and ensure that the children could grow up in peace.

Sun Chunchen stepped forward and patted Chu Jingyu on the shoulder, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Chu Jingyu nodded and said okay.

Upon hearing Chu Jingyu's reply, Sun Chunchen revealed a satisfied smile.

……

At noon, on the street in front of the town mayor's office.

As expected, the Shi and Zhang families produced contract masters of the corresponding rank, as well as guards with stricter discipline compared to those from aristocratic families.

As for the unemployed cultivators to be conscripted, it will take several days for the news to spread before they can actually be conscripted.

Tang Cheng said a few words of encouragement and then let Chu Jingyu lead them on their way.

The so-called hunting,

Simple, bloody and violent.

Like plowing a field, they first set off along the main roads leading from the town to the villages, killing any source beasts they encountered along the way, and only sparing the lives of those that seemed uncommon.

During this period, there were very few opportunities for Chu Jingyu to take action, since although there were many wild source beasts, most of them were only of the mortal or extraordinary rank.

Once a team of human contractors is formed, and these source beasts lack a passage connecting the inside and outside of the realm, it is easy for the situation to become one-sided.

However, it is not uncommon for contract masters to be careless and be ambushed by source beasts, resulting in loss of life. Sometimes, even a spirit-level contract master like Chu Jingyu could not react in time.

The first afternoon.

152 ordinary-rank source beasts and 12 hetero-rank source beasts were eliminated.

As dusk fell, the hunting party returned to town, while Chu Jingyu took advantage of the darkness to head towards the Chu family home.

On his way back, he vaguely sensed a strange spiritual fluctuation, but it vanished in an instant, as if it were an illusion.

Chu Jingyu had the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" investigate, but found nothing, so he gave up, assuming that he had just misjudged the spiritual fluctuations.

Upon returning home, he first went to the back mountain. Most of the trees on the mountain had been cleared away, and only a small portion of them had been planted with spirit herbs from the Illusionary Mist Spirit Plain.

Among the grass, Chu Jingyu could easily sense several "Green Leaf Giant Insects" with relatively weak auras climbing back and forth.

Race: Green Leaf Giant Insect (Alternate Rank)

Rank: Lower rank of ordinary rank

Qualification: Ordinary

Status: Relaxed

Attribute Tendency: Herbs, Medicinal Herbs

Skill: 1. Emerald Leaf: The Emerald Leaf Giant Worm consumes the medicinal power condensed within its body to condense an Emerald Leaf Mark. Targets carrying this mark will continuously heal their injuries.

2. Giant Insect Territory: The Green Leaf Giant Insect designates an area as its territory, within which wood-type plants receive a strong growth speed bonus.

3. Spinning Leaf Blade: Condenses energy to form leaf blades, which can spin back and forth in the air to attack targets.

Overall, the "Green Leaf Giant Insect" is not significantly different from the "Green Leaf Insect" in terms of skills, except that it has an additional skill called "Whirling Leaf Blade," which makes it more efficient in cultivating plants.

Moreover, ever since these unknown spiritual herbs were planted, the misty fog in the air seems to have thickened.

Drawn by the scent of the spiritual herbs, this small space was filled with many "floating jellyfish" no bigger than the palm of a hand, while the larger "cloud jellyfish" remained in the higher sky not far away.

It's vaguely said that this space is divided into three layers: one layer of spiritual herbs, one layer of small jellyfish, and another layer of large jellyfish with a diameter of over five meters.

It seems that Xiao Fan's suggestion was very effective; the measure of using this spiritual herb to keep these 'jellyfish' in captivity was very effective.

……

Mayor's residence, study.

"You've been to the Chu family. Did you find anything unusual?" Tang Cheng looked listless, even weaker than during the day.

"If we're talking about anything particularly strange, I really haven't found anything," Old An said thoughtfully, recalling the events.

"But the Chu family's actions are somewhat unusual. You should know that the Chu family lives on the mountaintop?"

Tang Cheng nodded. "That's right, that's correct."

"But the four villages under his jurisdiction were all moved to his mountain, halfway up the mountain, one layer after another, all of them villagers."

Tang Cheng placed his palm on his forehead and said, based on Elder An's words, "This can only mean that the Chu family is kind-hearted and does not want the villagers under their jurisdiction to be affected by the rampaging source beasts."

"In addition, I also discovered several interesting source beasts in the back mountain of the Chu family. One is the Ice Lotus, the representative source beast of the Liu family, and the other is this one."

As he spoke, Old Man An tapped the ground with his scepter, and several small jellyfish emerged from it.

Tang Cheng merely glanced at it, showing no interest in the faint aura of this source beast. "Have you seen any of their source artifacts?"
