Eternal Beast Taming Family

The moment Sun Chunchen saw the mark, his eyes widened instantly, and his voice trembled.

"How come you have the mark of the human fruit on your body?"

Chu Shengfan recounted his ordeal in detail, while Sun Chunchen listened intently, gritting his teeth in disbelief.

"That's a terrible person. That mysterious man probably sees you as a medicinal field. Once the fruit on you ripens, he will definitely come back to pick it."

Chu Shengfan had this premonition on the way here, and now that Sun Chunchen confirmed it again, he was no longer as flustered as before. He simply asked in a deep voice:

"What exactly is this 'human fruit'? Did the tribe I saw when I was in a daze really exist?"

Upon hearing his question, Sun Chunchen sighed.

"There are two types of Human Fruits. One is the ordinary Human Fruit, which has shiny patterns on its surface. It has two colors on each side, and the black and white colors rotate and exchange on the surface of the Human Fruit. It can accommodate a fixed number of mortals to live in."

However, this kind of human fruit has no growth potential and requires regular replenishment of spiritual energy to sustain the mortals within it. Normally, the buying and selling of mortals is done through this kind of human fruit.

Another type has a bluish-gray bark with star-like spots. Tribes also live in this area, but this fruit can be inoculated into humans to provide them with nutrients, expanding the space within and increasing the number of tribes. Furthermore, this fruit can be planted as a seed to give birth to a true human fruit tree.

There are also rumors that the tribes within the Blue-Gray Skin Fruit have been successfully trained, and that they can be used as a foundation to embark on the path to becoming kings.

After hearing this, Chu Shengfan felt no joy at obtaining the treasure, only a chill running down his spine. With such a treasure lost, the Wu family would certainly not let it go easily.

The mysterious person whose level of cultivation was unknown must have been confident and had the means to retrieve the treasure by placing it on him.

Having been dragged into this vortex out of nowhere, Chu Shengfan felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Sun Chunchen narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly deep in thought. He placed his hand on Chu Shengfan's shoulder.

"Don't panic. Go to the clinic as usual tomorrow. Leave the rest to me."

Seeing that Sun Chunchen seemed to have a plan, Chu Shengfan felt much more at ease and nodded heavily.

"Okay, Grandpa Sun."

"You should eat more foods that nourish your qi and blood, and make sure to replenish the qi and blood that your body has lost. Don't let it drag on and damage your foundation."

After giving some instructions, Sun Chunchen walked into the inner room with his hands behind his back. With the creak of the door closing, Sun Chunchen's figure was hidden from view.

Summon all three of your source beasts: "Dawn Pure Soul Beast", "Horned Wild Spirit Deer" and "Azure Flame Spirit Crane".

Three source beasts, some noble and elegant, some agile and natural, and some ethereal and otherworldly, appeared simultaneously in the inner room, causing the energy concentration in the room to rise rapidly and the space to become cramped.

However, the three source beasts did not make any noise. Instead, they focused their attention on the surrounding environment of the small courtyard to prevent any possible interference from Sun Chun Chen.

Sun Chunchen sat cross-legged on the bed. "It's been so long, the Huo family should have come to an end, but it's a pity..."

His hands formed a mudra, and a faint light emanated from his body. The intensity of the light flickered with each breath, and then he fell into a long wait.

……

It is far beyond the borders, countless miles away.

Looking at the surging river ahead, the Huo family members looked at the figure standing on the riverbank, Huo Fucheng, the current head of the Huo family at the Domain Rank, who had replaced the Huo family patriarch.

Although the Huo family members could clearly feel that Huo Fucheng's style of doing things had changed drastically since returning from that trip beyond the border, becoming more and more like the patriarch, they would not offer any opinions under the absolute suppression of force.

The seed above Huo Fucheng's palm points towards the other side of the river, as if guiding the Huo family members.

Huo Fucheng's expression revealed a thoughtful look. The Huo family had been searching for Medicine King Valley for a long time, and they had lost far too many of their clansmen along the way.

Even with the protection of this clan head at the Domain level, they still couldn't completely withstand the dangers from beyond the boundary. Along the way, the Huo family had already lost most of their members.

Now, those who remain are the elite of the elite. He has two choices: one is to continue along the path indicated by the seed, and the other is to give up now, find a suitable place, establish a clan territory, and allow the family to recuperate and continue its lineage.

Huo Fucheng raised his palm and looked at it. His fingers were somewhat transparent. He was suddenly shocked to realize that he had lived for far too long.

So long ago, he has almost forgotten the name of his original body; so long ago, he has lost his original aspirations and now lives only to survive, his life has lost all meaning.

His gaze toward the Huo family members had lost its initial warmth and hope; he now saw them merely as tools for his own breakthrough or survival.

Even though some of these people looked at him with respect, admiration, or adoration, he seemed to remember that when some people learned that he was going to possess their bodies, they did so willingly.

On the banks of this turbulent river, gazing at his own palm, he fell into an unusually strange state. At this moment, his humanity, worn down by the years, burst forth like a flood bursting its banks.

Suddenly, realizing something, he raised his eyes to look at the seed floating in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said in a harsh voice:

"It's you? You're just a seed. How could you possibly move my Dao heart? This river, no matter how many people die, must be crossed."

As he spoke, he stopped looking at the seed. Behind him, a colorful and intricate scroll unfolded, then grew larger and longer, spreading across the endless river.

"All members of the Huo family, cross the river."

At his command, the members of the Huo family stepped onto the painting with firm steps without any hesitation.

Huo Fucheng was about to take back the seed when suddenly a phantom of a giant tree appeared from the seed. In an instant, the branches and leaves on the phantom of the giant tree fell off and turned yellow.

Before Huo Fucheng could react, a deathly aura emanated from the seed, infecting the surrounding world.

Under this deathly silence, the earth became dry and cracked, the wild grass on the ground became brittle, and the river became calm.

The aura spread around and reached the Huo family members, turning their black hair white and their life force completely depleted in an instant.

While the Huo family patriarch held out for a longer period, his hair gradually turned gray, and wrinkles began to appear on his face.

Realizing what was happening, the Huo family patriarch quickly rose into the air, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the region where the seed was located.

He found himself in the void, far away, staring in disbelief at the hands of his body, which were beginning to show signs of age.

His gaze, though seemingly distant, fell upon the seed floating in the void. "How could this be..."

Sun Chunchen's illusory figure emerged from the seed, his gaze meeting Huo Fucheng's from afar. He was somewhat surprised to see that Huo Fucheng was still alive. Hearing Huo Fucheng's murmured words, he softly replied:

"This is indeed the key to Medicine King Valley, but Medicine King Valley collapsed a thousand years ago. Even if you go there, what you will gain will only be a more terrifying deathly silence than before."

A thousand years ago, Medicine King Valley could indeed extend one's lifespan by paying a price; but now, those who visit Medicine King Valley will only embrace death.
