Eternal Beast Taming Family

Upon smelling the faint fragrance, Master Yang's brows furrowed in comfort. The fragrance seemed to enter his body and flow into his spiritual sea, giving him a slight boost in spiritual power.

Moreover, this growth is not temporary, but permanent.

Master Yang froze abruptly. This source beast, capable of nurturing and increasing one's spirit, was actually alive.

After a moment's pause, Master Yang realized that he had taken too long. He cut open his palm, revealing a deep bloodstain, and then showed his palm to the "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit".

"Demonstrate your ability to treat external injuries."

The "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit" flapped its wings, and colorful, shimmering pollen fell heavily onto the wound. Even though the difference in their cultivation levels was significant, the wound was still quickly healed.

Next, "Wanhua Die Ling" used the skills "Wanhua Ling Dun" and "Die Ling" in turn. There was only one skill, "Hua Yao Ling Fen", which could not be displayed, so she stopped there.

With everything tested, Chu Shengfan looked at Teacher Yang, eagerly awaiting his score for his first assessment.

Master Yang lowered his eyes for a moment, then suddenly threw Chu Shengfan's jade token into the air, and said loudly, "This child has a special source beast. Please, Grand Examiner, judge whether he can directly enter the academy."

While Chu Shengfan was slightly stunned, a stream of light descended from the sky and then transformed into a somewhat illusory human figure that appeared on the platform.

A faint, ethereal voice appeared on the platform, "Which Origin Beast is qualified for direct access?"

Master Yang bowed slightly to the illusory figure and said respectfully, "Both of this boy's source beasts have some special characteristics, especially the Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit."

The illusory figure, its eyes gleaming with a faint golden light, first scanned the largest "Spiritual Mica," then, after a moment, calmly withdrew its gaze and turned to the petite "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit."

This observation period was a little longer, and even the illusory examiner let out a soft "Eh."

A few seconds later, the ethereal voice sounded again, "Okay."

With just one word, Chu Shengfan's jade pendant lit up with a clear and bright green light.

Then the illusory figure lowered its eyes to observe Chu Shengfan for a moment, and then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the platform.

Master Yang was overjoyed and looked at Chu Shengfan with a smile. Someone under his guidance had a direct admission to the academy, and the academy would reward him accordingly.

"Congratulations on your direct admission to the academy."

Overwhelmed by this sudden surprise, Chu Shengfan took a few deep breaths to suppress his joy. He suddenly remembered that the direct access to different assessments limited the range of majors one could choose.

So Chu Shengfan forcibly suppressed his inner joy, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Teacher Yang, and asked, "Teacher Yang, I wonder which major I can choose after passing this assessment?"

He remained calm and composed, showing no signs of anxiety. Master Yang nodded silently, his approval of Chu Shengfan growing even stronger.

"This assessment leads directly to the Novel Origin Beast Research Department. In short, it's the research and development of the abilities of the Origin Beasts themselves."

Chu Shengfan's eyes widened in shock. He was not very familiar with the departments in the academy and did not know what this major was like. A conflicted expression involuntarily appeared on his face.

Teacher Yang seemed to understand his thought process and said softly, "You don't have to make a decision now. You can save this decision until all the assessments are over."

Go back and learn more about it; you can use this pass as a last resort.

Chu Shengfan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Master Yang in gratitude, retrieved the jade tablet engraved with his name, and then turned to leave this special space.

Outside the entrance, Chu Shengfan found Sun Chunchen. He had no intention of participating in the rest of the assessments; he just wanted to get back quickly, investigate more thoroughly, and then participate in the assessments again.

Sun Chunchen sensed Chu Shengfan's eagerness and realized that it wasn't a good place to talk things over outside. So, going against the flow of people registering, they boarded a beast-drawn carriage and quickly returned to the combined shop and residence.

Upon returning home, Chu Shengfan immediately told Sun Chunchen about the first assessment he had taken in that special space that day.

After listening, Sun Chunchen's face also showed a slight smile.

"Your source beast is extraordinary; it's only natural that you'd receive direct access. Although I'm not entirely sure what that major entails, I can guess it's something research-oriented."

"Choosing this is a good option. At least from what we know now, there shouldn't be any major dangers within the academy."

Chu Shengfan pursed his lips. Perhaps it was the direct qualification he had obtained in this assessment that gave him some courage. "I want to try the other assessments."

Sun Chunchen stroked his chin. "It's worth a try. If we can get a few more direct passes, that would be even better."

Chu Shengfan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, "It might be a bit difficult to get a direct pass later."

"Grandpa Sun, I need to go out for a bit later to see if any of the nearby bookstores have detailed information about the Thousand Spirits Academy entrance exam."

Sun Chunchen waved his hand, "Go on, go on. Although the security at Qianling Academy is at its best right now, you still need to be careful."

"Okay," Chu Shengfan replied, his figure already passing through the shop and onto the street.

While Chu Shengfan was busy with the assessment, the Chu family in Qixia Mountain was also busy with the selection of patrolling villagers.

The square in front of the Chu family mansion was now filled with young men and women from different villages, while the women, children and elderly stood at the edge of the square, curiously observing who would be chosen by the family.

Putting aside the fact that he could catch the eye of the master and gain prestige in front of the four villages, even if he were actually selected, he would not only receive an extra monthly salary,

There are even rumors that if someone performs well in the patrol team, there is a high chance that they will be able to awaken their spirit and become a member of the main family's guards through a contracted source beast.

Therefore, all the able-bodied men in the four villages put on their best performance, just so they could catch the attention of their master.

Some of these show-offs even went so far as to expose their upper bodies on April or May mornings, displaying their muscular physiques in every way, just to show the host how strong they were.

Three chairs were placed in front of the Chu family's courtyard.

Three people, Chu Qinhui, Jiang Nian, and Chu Shengyuan, were seated there.

Villagers like Chu Qinhui and Jiang Nian saw them quite frequently, so they didn't dare to look too closely.

As for the young master Chu Shengyuan, they rarely saw him. At this moment, the little boy sat upright in a chair, trying his best to maintain a serious expression, but his slightly chubby face only made him look cute.

He was wearing clothes woven from the spiritual silk spun by the spiritual silkworms that Jiang Nian had just bought from town some time ago. A faint spiritual power flowed around him, making him look like a wise and intelligent child under the seat of a deity.

Many villagers frequently looked at him, marveling at how exquisite the doll was, truly worthy of being the master's clever son.
