Eternal Beast Taming Family

The next morning.

Chu Shengfan barely slept all night, his eyes showing signs of exhaustion. This was not due to physical fatigue from staying up all night, but rather the result of a night of mental exertion.

Sun Chunchen sat on the armchair in the main room. When he saw Chu Shengfan walk into the courtyard, he waved to him and asked him to come over.

Until Chu Shengfan stopped in front of him, he said, "Grandpa Sun, I've been thinking, how about I go out and find a place to stay and live alone for a while?"

Hearing his words, Sun Chunchen frowned slightly. This child wanted to go through this storm alone, probably having already decided to sacrifice himself to avoid implicating others.

Sun Chunchen tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the armchair. "What, you think your Grandpa Sun can't protect you?"

"No." Chu Shengfan subconsciously denied it, then sighed softly, "It's just that both the Wu family, a sixth-rank noble family, and that mysterious person are far beyond your realm, so it's completely unnecessary..."

Sun Chunchen raised his hand to interrupt him, "Isn't it unnecessary to fight a losing battle? Xiao Fan, the egg and the rock are not yet determined, so don't jump to conclusions. Extend your hand."

Chu Shengfan was stunned for a moment, then obediently revealed the palm of his hand that had been marked with the "Human Fruit" yesterday.

Sun Chunchen frowned as he looked at the mark on the "Human Fruit." In just one night, the "Human Fruit" seemed to have swelled even more; he wondered how much blood and energy it had absorbed in that short time.

He said in a deep voice, "The other one."

Looking at Chu Shengfan's exposed left hand, Sun Chunchen opened his palm, and a small, round seed transformed into a stream of light from his palm and entered Chu Shengfan's palm, leaving a round, emerald-green mark on his left hand.

Chu Shengfan felt a sudden coolness spread from his left palm throughout his body, and the blood and energy he had lost last night were replenished at this moment.

He looked at the mark on his right palm with some confusion. "Grandpa Sun, what's this?"

Sun Chunchen stared intently at his palm and replied softly, "This is also a seed, not much different in quality from the Human Fruit. It can replenish your depleted life force and protect you in times of danger."

Chu Shengfan raised his two palms and placed them side by side, with the imprints of two different seeds between them.

"Grandpa Sun, this..."

Sun Chunchen raised his hand to stop him from saying anything more. "Don't ask anything, and don't do anything unusual. Just go back to work at the pharmacy, and the whole thing will be resolved soon."

Chu Shengfan suppressed his excitement, nodded heavily, then turned and left the courtyard, heading towards the pharmacy along the bustling street.

Sun Chunchen narrowed his eyes. In no more than seven days, that mysterious person would definitely come looking for Xiao Fan by following the marks he left behind. At that time, he would naturally let him know what the price of looking for the wrong 'farmland' was.

……

Heyu Town.

Chu Qinhui was handling various matters, both big and small, in his study as usual. Compared to the initial chaos, he had become much more relaxed recently after delegating some unimportant and minor tasks to the various stewards.

Basically, you only need to work for one hour each day, and the rest of the time can be used for cultivation or training with your contracted source beast.

However, he has recently been considering choosing his second source beast. Now that his family is wealthy, he has more options, which makes him somewhat conflicted.

Almost the same choice Chu Shengfan faced before, his first one was also a medicinal beast-type source beast. So for this second one, Chu Jingyu also asked him to choose a source beast with strong combat or protective abilities to form a contract with.

I've been to the Treasure Pavilion in town a few times recently and have seen a lot of information about different-tier source beasts. The more options there are, the harder it is to choose. Recently, Chu Qinhui has been considering whether to go to the outer realms to try his luck.

After finishing his business for the day, Chu Qinhui stood in the inner courtyard and summoned the "Ginseng Doll," intending to train its skills for the day.

The "Ginseng Baby" expressed a desire to go play in the medicinal herb fields at the foot of the mountain. Chu Qinhui tapped its little head.

"Alright, alright, go play down the mountain, but don't forget to come home when it gets dark."

Chu Qinhui could only offer one piece of advice: he himself couldn't leave this courtyard, in case anything urgent happened and he couldn't find anyone else.

The little "ginseng baby" waved its tiny hand at Chu Qinhui, then hopped and skipped out of the courtyard, shaking the leaves on its head.

"Ginseng Doll" is quite famous in the entire Chu family. In private, if anyone has a wound, they only need to go to the playful "Ginseng Doll" and before they even have to ask for help, he will casually wave a green light and all their injuries will be healed.

Chu Qinhui stretched, feeling a bit lazy in the warm sunshine. He had just taken out a rocking chair from his jade pendant and hadn't even sat down when a servant hurriedly walked in from the outer courtyard.

Upon seeing Chu Qinhui standing under the porch, he quickly bowed and greeted him, "Young Master, there are guests outside who claim to be from the Treasure Pavilion. Should we let them in?"

Chu Qinhui raised an eyebrow in surprise; this was truly an unexpected guest. "Did he mention his purpose?"

The servant shook his head. "No, he just said he came to pay a visit."

"Take them to the front hall in the front yard."

"Yes."

The people from the Treasure Pavilion arrived. As a powerful force in the town, the Treasure Pavilion has never participated in any power disputes because they have an extraordinary source of confidence.

Chu Qinhui beckoned to another servant and instructed him, "Go and inform the master that there are guests visiting the Treasure Pavilion."

"Yes."

After finishing these tasks, Chu Qinhui headed to the front hall.

When Chu Qinhui arrived at the front hall, he waited for about a few minutes before two guests were led in.

One was an elderly man with white hair, and the other was Qingluo, whom I had met a few times before.

The owner of the Treasure Pavilion in Paper Hawk County has come in person; this is quite a grand occasion, and the matter they want to discuss must be of great importance.

Qingluo was at least at the Spirit Rank. Chu Qinhui stood up and went to the entrance of the front hall to greet her.

After exchanging greetings and taking their seats in the front hall, and having the maids serve tea, he then spoke, "I was unaware of your arrival, please forgive my lack of hospitality."

The old man cupped his hands in greeting, "We apologize for our unauthorized visit."

"You two are being too polite," Chu Qinhui said, taking a sip of tea. "This is your first time visiting Qixia Mountain. If you have some free time, you could take a stroll around here and enjoy the scenery of the countryside."

"We've seen a lot of new and interesting things along the way, like the highway. In the countryside, you rarely see families who are willing to build roads for these villagers."

Moreover, I see that the herbs in both fields are growing exceptionally well. If your Chu family is willing to sell them after the harvest, you must sell them to our Treasure Pavilion first.

"If the Treasure Pavilion takes a liking to us, then our Chu family will definitely have their masters examine the herbs and see what the quality of the herbs cultivated in our herb field is like."

Chu Qinhui chatted with the two men for a while about what he saw around Qixia Mountain. The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant, with guests enjoying themselves.

After a moment of silence, the white-haired old man finally spoke with a smile:

"Young Master Chu, you are too kind. We are indeed here on important business. Our Treasure Pavilion has made many inquiries and heard that the Moon-Worshipping Rabbit originated from your Chu family?"
