Eternal Beast Taming Family

The academy finally began classes, as requested by Chu Jingyu.

The first six months of this academy will focus on teaching texts, such as spirit forging, spirit embroidery, or spirit food, with knowledge about source beasts taking up a small portion.

Courses about source beasts will only become mainstream in the second half of the year.

After the academy finished making arrangements, Chu Jingyu led the other two family heads back to the town's administrative affairs center, now renamed the government affairs center.

"Before Qin Hui returns, your duty is to handle the town's affairs. Remember, Qixia Town has its own laws, and contract masters are punished the same as ordinary people for their crimes."

Chu Jingyu's expression was serious, and neither Fu Zhengyan, the head of the Fu family, nor Li Chunlan, the head of the Li family, dared to disobey.

However, their differing views on the difference between contract masters and mortals are clearly not something that can be reversed overnight.

However, the Chu family seems to have plenty of time to train and discipline its three major families.

Of course, to prevent any mishaps between the two, Chu Jingyu also specifically arranged for the housekeepers who had worked in the Chu family for a period of time to also come and work here.

With them overseeing things, there shouldn't be any major problems. Even if there are any mistakes, they can report them to Chu Jingyu in a timely manner.

Having arranged everything, Chu Jingyu returned to the mountain. It wasn't that he was lazy or unwilling to deal with worldly matters, but rather that in Chu Jingyu's heart, there was nothing more important than guarding the Chu family's source artifact.

Even if Qixia Town at the foot of the mountain is destroyed, the impact on the Chu family will only be the reconstruction of the town. However, if something happens to Chu Zu, that would be a real catastrophe for the Chu family.

Also today, a batch of crane-type source beasts purchased by the Chu family from the Treasure Pavilion arrived at their home.

Chu Jingyu first went to the ancestral hall to report to Ancestor Chu, explaining that the batch of crane-type source beasts he had specifically requested had arrived.

Chu Zu did not appear, but his calm voice reached Chu Jingyu's ears.

"By bringing that white crane stone wall to the area where the crane-type source beasts are kept, he can have a positive impact on the growth of those source beasts."

At the White Crane Stone Wall, Chu Jingyu glanced at the white crane carving in front of the offering table, nodded, and then personally escorted it to the grassland at the foot of the mountain.

The "White Crane Stone Wall" was only about the size of an adult's upper body. Chu Jingyu went to a designated area in the grassland for crane-type creatures and placed the "White Crane Stone Wall" in the very center.

This batch of purchased cranes includes three species, totaling over one hundred: the White-feathered Crane, the Wind-whistling Crane, and the Cloud-piercing Crane.

All three types of cranes are mortal-level source beasts, which are considered to be among the better source beasts in Heyu Town and Paper Hawk County.

Xu Yinyue's grandfather originally made a contract with a "white crane".

The "White Crane Stone Wall" had just been set down, and the crane-like creatures, whose feet bore silver rings and who were feeling uneasy in their new environment, seemed to have discovered something that attracted them.

They ignored the existence of Chu Jingyu, a Spirit Rank Contract Master, and curiously gathered around.

As soon as Chu Jingyu put down the "White Crane Stone Wall," a shimmering white light suddenly gathered in front of the stone wall, and a feather resembling a crane's feather was woven out.

Chu Jingyu reacted quickly and grabbed the white feather in his hand. Several excited white cranes that rushed over missed it, staring intently at Chu Jingyu for a while before turning and leaving.

However, their range of activity never strayed too far from the "White Crane Stone Wall," and it seems that even without the restriction of the silver rings on their feet, they would not leave this grassland.

The number of source beasts on the grassland is increasing, and source beasts of the same species sometimes even have conflicts, not to mention that these source beasts of many different species live together.

When Chu Qinhui was around, his "Azure Wing Wolf Lord" led the "Azure Wolves" and "Azure Fang Wolves" to patrol and guard the area. The source beasts of various races were obedient and dared not fight much.

However, after Chu Qinhui left, these source beasts seemed to reveal their true nature, and conflicts between them could be seen in various parts of the grassland.

Between the "Flying Rabbit" and the "Giant Grass Bug," blades of grass flew up, their white afterimages colliding haphazardly.

After behaving obediently for a long time, the "wild boar spirits" gathered together with their large bodies and forcefully occupied the most fertile area of ​​the grassland, driving away the source beasts of other races from this territory.

The leaf-winged insects seemed quite dissatisfied with the domineering behavior of the wild boar spirits. Taking advantage of their ability to fly, they waged a guerrilla war against these wild boar spirits, making a mess of the lush grassland.

The only relatively docile ones are the "floating jellyfish" and "cloud jellyfish" that float in the air. They are extremely docile and harmless, and they will obediently drift to other places as long as they are driven away by the source beasts.

Chu Jingyu rubbed his head. Luckily, he had isolated those crocodile source beasts. Otherwise, there would be more than just fighting on the grassland. Those crocodile source beasts would have really treated these herbivorous source beasts as food.

Although over time, this struggle will gradually subside, eventually establishing its own order on this grassland.

However, Chu Jingyu was unwilling and did not want to wait any longer. After all, he had not established the grassland to watch these source beasts form their own natural laws.

Instead, he would use less space to raise more source beasts, which would be used for family members or contracted personnel under his command in the future. Some of them would also be sold. He would absolutely not allow things like fighting each other and affecting growth.

The solution is simple: one approach is to redivide the grasslands and completely separate the different source beast races.

Another option is to reorganize patrol teams to maintain order on the grasslands.

Obviously, the first option is the cheapest and most convenient. However, the family will definitely want to raise more than just this many source beasts in the future. If they have to define the area for each type, it is obviously not very convenient.

The second reason is that the family is currently severely short-handed, and the people who come every day to sprinkle source stone crystals to maintain the pasture are squeezed out.

As for the three servant families, there are obviously still people among them, but Chu Jingyu is unwilling to let those three families interfere with the Chu family's cultivation of source beasts.

After much deliberation, Chu Jingyu finally took the first measure.

His gaze fell beyond the grassland. For every new type of source beast the family raised, the grassland would expand. Anyway, there was still a lot of land in the four villages. At worst, the original sites and fields of the four villages could be converted into grassland.

With this thought in mind, Chu Jingyu quickly felt relieved, and the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" appeared beside him.

After some mental communication, the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" understood Chu Jingyu's thoughts.

A rumbling sound rang out.

In the middle of the flat grassland, walls covered in golden light began to rise one after another. The walls were about five meters wide and could accommodate seven or eight people walking side by side.

These crisscrossing walls divide the grassland into small grids, each grid measuring approximately 4 square meters, while the walls that make up these grids are nearly ten meters high.

The sudden commotion, along with the unique aura of the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" clinging to the walls, caused the source beasts on the grassland to tremble in fear.

At this moment, the source beasts in each grid are still in a mixed state. The "Azure Ridge Cloud Eagle" appears in mid-air, shuttling back and forth between each grid. Its claws keep moving, gathering source beasts of the same kind into the same grid.

After working for half a day, it was finally possible to separate all the source beasts.
