Eternal Beast Taming Family

The backyard was much larger than Lin Zixu had imagined.

What you see is a field of emerald green grass, of unknown quality, which gleams with a spiritual luster.

Among these spiritual herbs that reach about ankle height, rabbits of different appearances hop and run about.

Other people dressed as servants or maids walked through the courtyard, carrying wooden basins and occasionally grabbing a handful of scraps to sprinkle among the medicinal herbs.

Looking at the somewhat lustrous material, Lin Zixu easily recognized that it was fragments made from ground source stone. No wonder these spiritual herbs could be cultivated so lush and green.

In the distance of the grassy area, there seemed to be two other places enclosed by stone walls. Lin Zixu looked closely but couldn't find out what was inside.

A servant boy pushed several buckets of fresh raw meat in a cart, opened a window, and poured the meat into the buckets.

Through the small window, Lin Zixu spotted a creature with a long mouth covered in fine scales flying by.

Before he could get a closer look, his view was blocked by the overturned wooden bucket. The source beast seemed to be chained, and compared to the rabbits frolicking everywhere, it must be some kind of ferocious carnivorous source beast.

A series of grunting sounds came from behind another wall. Lin Zixu's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this sound, which resembled the noise of a neighbor raising pigs back in the village.

Before he could observe any further, Chu Shengyuan had already pulled out two chairs and a small square table, on which tea, various desserts, and snacks were laid out, making it look like a picnic.

Chu Shengyuan pressed Lin Zixu into a chair and said with a smile, "You stay here, I'll go catch a rabbit for you."

After saying that, before Lin Zixu could react, he shot off like an arrow, and returned in less than ten seconds.

He stopped in front of Lin Zixu, tossed the two pink-eared rabbits into Lin Zixu's arms, and instructed, "Hold on tight."

Lin Zixu looked blankly at the two rabbits lying quietly in his arms, then looked at Chu Shengyuan's figure darting quickly across the grass.

A faint fragrance lingered around Lin Zixu's nose, and he could feel the pain in his body being slowly drawn away by this fragrance.

Two, four, eight... After Chu Shengyuan's busy efforts, in no time, sixteen rabbits had gathered around Lin Zixu.

Too many "herbal powder ear rabbits" were surrounding Lin Zixu, and he couldn't keep an eye on them all at once. Because these rabbits couldn't always stay quietly by his side, Lin Zixu was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Chu Shengyuan placed the last two rabbits next to Lin Zixu, clapped his hands, and proudly announced, "Mission accomplished."

Lin Zixu watched as several rabbits left, then looked at Chu Shengyuan with pleading eyes, "They've all run away."

"Don't panic." Chu Shengyuan circled the square table once, and a layer of white crystal shavings slid from his hands, surrounding the two people in the center of the small square table.

It was a different substance from the crystal shavings scattered by the servants earlier. It had a brighter luster, and Lin Zixu, a low-level mortal contract master, could sense that the energy contained in these crystal shavings was much more concentrated.

After the shavings were scattered, Chu Shengyuan sat calmly in his chair, picked up the snacks on the table, and leisurely began to enjoy them.

The pink-eared rabbits that had just left seemed to be attracted by the abundant energy fluctuations, turning their heads and jumping back to happily nibble on the white crystal shavings.

These Source Spirit Stone shards attracted not only the Herbal Powder Ear Rabbit, but also other types of rabbits that happily hopped over.

The "Moon-Worshipping Rabbit" is surrounded by the radiance of the moon, exuding elegance and nobility; the "Flying Rabbit" has extremely long fur, making it look like some kind of long-haired cat; the "Medicinal Powder-Eared Rabbit" is surrounded by a faint fragrance that makes the inhaler feel relaxed.

Seeing such a lively scene, several flustered servants and maids quickly gathered around. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chu Shengyuan was scattering crystals of source spirit stones.

Although we don't know why this young master Yuan made such a fuss, as long as the rabbit doesn't cause any problems, everything will be fine.

Seeing that Young Master Yuan didn't want to pay them any more attention, they glanced at him briefly, bowed to him, and then took their leave.

Lin Zixu didn't taste much of the tea and snacks; he simply inhaled the aroma surrounding him, closed his eyes, and drifted into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, when Lin Zixu opened his eyes again, he only saw the dazzling stars against the dark night sky.

He moved his body, which was a little sore from lying in one position for too long, but felt more comfortable than ever before. He stood up from the chair.

The various rabbits that had gathered around him before he fell asleep had dispersed, leaving only three scattered individuals.

Hearing Lin Zixu's voice on the ground, Chu Shengyuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with some weariness, "You're awake. Do you feel any better?"

Looking at Chu Shengyuan, who had stayed by his side until now, Lin Zixu was somewhat moved. He nodded to Chu Shengyuan and said:

"I've never felt so good before, it's like I'm completely cured of all my illnesses. Thank you, Young Master Yuan, for staying with me here for so long."

Chu Shengyuan waved his hand dismissively, "So what? Only when you're healthy can you properly serve as my page. Hmm, does this mean that when I go to the Imperial Academy to study, you'll be accompanying me?"

Lin Zixu didn't quite understand what the pageboy meant, but he thought it was probably similar to what Chu Shengyuan said, so he nodded in agreement and said, "It should be."

Chu Shengyuan clapped his hands. "Okay, it's settled then. Come find me early tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

……

Thousand Spirits City.

After visiting several academies, Chu Shengfan gained a more detailed understanding of the Qianling Academy's assessment process.

In general, try to participate in every assessment and get a higher score, as the admission score will have a significant impact on the initial allocation of resources.

After all, within the academy, students are divided into four levels: ordinary students, personally taught students, true disciples, and students of the Thousand Spirits.

The quality of teaching staff varies depending on the level.

Ordinary students and students receiving special instruction are those who have to pay tuition fees every year, while students receiving special instruction and students receiving special instruction are those who receive resources from the academy.

So after learning about it, Chu Shengfan decided to continue participating in every kind of assessment.

The next day, Chu Shengfan arrived at the square from the previous day.

Skipping past the queue for registration, Chu Shengfan walked straight to the passageways guarded by students of Qianling Academy at the edge of the square.

He first went to the first combat-type assessment on the far left. After handing over the jade token to verify his identity, he entered the assessment's secret realm through the vortex entrance at the gatekeeper's signal.

As soon as Chu Shengfan entered, a sweet voice instantly entered his mind.

"Welcome to the one-on-one battle assessment for Source Beasts. Please summon the Source Beast you wish to participate in the assessment."
