Eternal Beast Taming Family

In the square in front of the main hall, there was a palanquin that looked like a small palace. It was pure white and had various exquisite snow lotus patterns carved on it.

Around the palanquin stood sixteen high-ranking Spirit Rank Contract Masters. These Spirit Rank Contract Masters seemed to have been carefully selected, eight men and eight women, each with exquisite appearances, standing beside the palanquin like golden boys and jade girls.

Following the palanquin were forty-six servants of the lower spirit rank, dressed in uniform.

Upon Chu Shengfan's arrival, Wu Yuan, who had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, suddenly appeared beside him.

Seeing that Chu Shengfan had reached the Spirit Rank, there was no surprise in his eyes, only some joy. Then, he saw Chu Shengfan's gaze fall on the honor guard in the square.

A smug smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Young Palace Master, are you satisfied with this formation? I've reduced the original hundred-person honor guard to this size according to your requirements. If you think it's too small, we can add more."

Exaggeration? Chu Shengfan only felt it was exaggerated. He swallowed hard, looked at Wu Yuan with some difficulty, and forced a smile.

"Uncle Wu, can we reduce the specifications a bit more? Isn't this a bit too much?"

Hearing Chu Shengfan's words, Wu Yuan touched his chin, then shook his head firmly. "This is already the minimum standard. If your entourage is any smaller..."

Do you want others to think that our Qinghan Palace is poor and destitute, or do you want others to think that you are not favored in our Qinghan Palace, so that you will be inferior to others in the circle of true disciples for no reason in the future?

Besides, you're studying so far from home, you must be constantly worried about what's happening back home. This honor guard is there to give you confidence; only by displaying sufficient power can they truly support you.

Even if you're at the academy, no one from your family will dare to provoke you.

Wu Yuan spoke very frankly, but Chu Shengfan sensed that he was considering his situation in every way, and that he was truly thinking of him as one of his own.

Chu Shengfan could no longer find the words to refuse, and could only bow slightly to Wu Yuan in gratitude, "Thank you for your consideration, Uncle Wu. I was indeed a bit petty."

Wu Yuan accepted the bow, then smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's more like it. You must remember that you are now the only disciple of the Wise Master, and you deserve all the good things. The entire Qinghan Palace is your backing."

Although Chu Shengfan was overly cautious and modest, which was somewhat out of character for his age, Wu Yuan still liked him quite a bit.

After all, such a personality indicates that Chu Shengfan will not become a "brat". He has his own methods for doing things. He just needs to cultivate his noble air to become a qualified young master of Qinghan Palace. He will not disgrace Qinghan Palace when he goes out.

He smiled at Chu Shengfan, "Young Palace Master, you're all ready. Let's set off now and get into the sedan chair."

At his signal, Chu Shengfan walked alongside him toward the palanquin in the square.

Although it's called a palanquin, it's actually a simplified version of a palace, with a main hall and several rooms for resting.

Wu Yuan let him enter the small palace first, while he stretched out an arm and called out gracefully, "Let's set off."

As its words fell, the small palace rose without wind, and a gigantic lotus flower slowly emerged from beneath it, its white roots spreading outwards.

Then, one by one, lotus pedestals, each large enough for one person to stand on, appeared beside the small palace and at the feet of the servants behind it.

Chu Shengfan, you stood at the entrance of the small palace, staring blankly at this scene, your hands slightly clenched, wondering what the students in the academy would say if they saw this.

Of the eight servants assigned to Chu Shengfan, he didn't bring any with him; he only had Su Yi by his side.

Clearly, this was the first time she had ever experienced such treatment, standing in a small palace. Her hands were trembling slightly with excitement. Although she wasn't the main character, she felt a sense of pride and honor.

The enormous lotus platform carrying the palace slowly descended from Qinghan Mountain. Along the way, they saw various landscapes within the academy, and the patrol teams and other students they encountered all gave way to them without them having to lift a finger.

This kind of honor guard procession doesn't seem to be very common on campus, and some of the new students couldn't help but ask their seniors about it out of curiosity.

"Senior, who is that palace floating in the sky? It's so magnificent."

The senior student who was asked the question glanced enviously at the honor guard in the sky before explaining in a low voice.

"That's a ceremonial guard that only appears when Thousand Spirits students or True Inheritance students of the academy. It's a form of identification. If you encounter it in the future, remember to avoid it and don't provoke it."

"A mere student of the True Teachings is already receiving such treatment?" a freshman asked in surprise.

"What do you mean by 'talent'? You are just ordinary students now, not even considered direct disciples, yet you look down on true disciples?"

To become a true disciple, you must first study under a virtuous teacher within the academy. How many virtuous teachers does the academy have? After enrollment, consider yourself lucky if you can attend even one lesson from a virtuous teacher per month.

As he spoke, the senior pointed to the quiet servants standing on the lotus platform behind the small palace.

"See? Even the positions of servants behind that palace are not necessarily attainable for you."

Hearing their seniors belittle them like that, the newly enrolled students couldn't help but show resentment on their faces.

The senior students didn't say much, just shook their heads slightly. They would understand as they spent more time in the academy that the difference in social status and family background would be like a mountain pressing down on them.

The palace, supported by a lotus platform, appeared outside the gates of the Thousand Spirits Academy, then sped up towards the platform leading out of the city.

The lotus platform was a source beast of high spirit rank. Carrying the palace through the city, it quickly attracted the attention of the city's residents. Chu Shengfan guessed that he didn't know how it would be arranged in tomorrow's publication.

I arrived at the platform without any problems and didn't need to buy a ticket.

Inside the small palace, Wu Yuan stood beside Chu Shengfan, looking out of the palace.

A streak of light flew out from his body and transformed into a small bird outside the palace.

It was no bigger than the palm of a hand, but its body was flashing with silver and blue lightning. It looked somewhat like a sparrow, but its pupils were pitch black with only a white mark in the middle, making it look very mysterious.

Its wings fluttered slightly, and a beam of blue light shot out from its body, then stopped in mid-air. The blue light then spun rapidly, soon forming a vortex.

Chu Shengfan observed intently and was surprised to find that this vortex was exactly the same as the vortex in the passage between the inner and outer realms. It turned out that those passages were formed by the source beast's skills.

Seeing his focused gaze, Wu Yuan explained from the side,

"Because we need to ensure that so many people can pass through this spatial gate, and the distance of this teleportation is relatively long, it will take some time to stabilize the passage."

Just as Chu Shengfan was about to ask how long it would take, the passage over there stabilized, and the "Sky-Splitting Electric Bird" transformed back into a stream of light and returned to Wu Yuan's side.

It did not return to the Source Beast Space, but instead stood on Wu Yuan's shoulder, its head turned towards Chu Shengfan, as if it were examining something.

"Enter the spatial passage."

With Wu Yuan's command, the team continued forward and then slowly disappeared into the blue vortex.

The blue vortex closed abruptly once the last person had entered the passage.

The other pedestrians on the platform, who had been holding their breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The few traces of power that the little bird had inadvertently revealed when it opened the passage were enough to make all the pedestrians on the platform dare not make a move.

After everyone had left, they began to whisper among themselves, speculating about the identities of the travelers.

In the courtyard, Sun Chunchen lay on a rocking chair, gazing absently into the distance.

"Xiao Fan, don't rush to contract a third source beast now. Advancing to the spirit rank too quickly is a bit too fast. I forgot to tell him this."

However, having a contract isn't a big problem...
