Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chapter 209 The Banquet is About to Begin

Compared to the various speculations from the outside world, Chu Shengfan has been quite relaxed these past few days. Due to the various speculations, Uncle Wu has told him to stay obediently in Qinghan Palace for the next few days.

Therefore, his daily life consisted mainly of cultivation and reading the various books in the Qinghan Palace.

As he learned more, he also discovered that in addition to teaching combat, Thousand Spirits Academy also offered a wide variety of subjects related to knowledge and logistics.

Such as breeders who cultivate source beasts or study the evolutionary laws of source beasts, pharmacists who treat external injuries or study the reproduction of source beast diseases, and source beast genealogy researchers who study ancient source beasts (Chu Shengfan had some guesses, but always felt that this profession was a bit strange).

This naturally includes things like spirit embroidery, spirit cooking, spirit forging, and spirit farming.

It turns out that in the world outside of Paper Hawk County, various professions have been divided into extremely detailed categories, but these professions are all composed of the abilities of source beasts or the talents of the contract masters themselves.

Moreover, according to the information provided, there are several professions that are considered the most prestigious and sought after.

First, there are breeders. To succeed in this profession, one must either possess special talent or have extensive knowledge and experience from years of research on the source beasts.

Most breeders plan the evolutionary path of their source beasts, or possess their own unique formulas that can enhance the immediate combat power of their source beasts.

Alternatively, it could promote the evolution of the source beasts, causing them to leap to a higher level of life.

These descriptions alone are enough to show how highly regarded the contract masters are by those who can achieve this profession.

After seeing the information about this profession, Chu Shengfan inexplicably thought of his ancestor Chu, who had evolved so many source beasts. Wasn't he a god-level breeder?

He had this thought in his mind, but he wouldn't ask. However, he now had some ideas about the profession of breeder. First of all, the process of Chu Zu evolving source beasts never avoided the Chu family.

Therefore, he knows more or less about the evolution of some source beasts, and now he also has the book "The Essence of All Things" which allows him to directly view some information about source beasts, making it seem very feasible to pursue this profession.

Even if he can't achieve this profession now, with the existence of "The Essence of All Things," as long as he can view information about items and source beasts, there are still many professions suitable for him.

Moreover, it was during these past few days of research that Chu Shengfan discovered that his teacher, Yang Qingxue, was actually a breeder with a considerable reputation in Qianlingfu City.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why so many forces want to befriend them.

Just as Chu Shengfan was immersed in his studies, three days quietly passed.

The day of the apprenticeship ceremony has arrived.

Even early in the morning, many smaller factions entered the academy with invitations and were then taken to Qinghan Mountain by vehicles waiting at the academy gate.

For such a large-scale banquet, these smaller, eighth-rank powerful families were very discreet, with only one or two people attending. Moreover, most of those who came were family heads, or at the very least, core elders of their families.

Because it was a ceremony for the younger generation to become apprentices, they brought along a junior member of their family. These smaller families rarely had the opportunity to participate in such occasions, so it was a great chance to network with those of higher status.

For example, the Lu family is one of the small families that are fortunate enough to participate in this ceremony today. Although their family is also an eighth-rank aristocratic family, the patriarch is only at the middle level of the Spirit Rank, and there are only three others at the lower level of the Spirit Rank. They are considered to be a relatively weak family among the eighth-rank families.

If it weren't for the fact that their Lu family's unique source beasts and the spirit pearls produced by the spirit pearl shells are a special and rare item that gathers spirit essence, their family probably wouldn't have been invited to this banquet under any circumstances.

The current head of the Lu family looked at the Thousand Spirits Academy in front of him, his face flushed with excitement. None of the Lu family members had ever been able to enter the academy.

He quietly tugged at the pink sleeve of his daughter, who looked about sixteen or seventeen, and said, "Xiao Chan, when we go inside, you must be careful with your manners. The people inside are all rich and powerful; they are not people our small Lu family can afford to offend."

The girl beside him appeared much calmer than her father. She tilted her head and looked at him. "I will. But you, Father, don't get too excited and make a mistake in etiquette."

Lu Qinghan wasn't angry at his daughter's words. Instead, he rubbed his face and asked seriously, "Does this feel any better?"

"Your face turned even redder." Lu Yuechan's beautiful face seemed to show a hint of speechlessness.

Lu Qinghan wanted to say something more, but the carriage, which had been traveling at a snail's pace, slowly came to a stop. A servant's voice came from outside, "Master, we have arrived at Qianling Academy."

Lu Qinghan gave a soft "hmm," straightened his clothes, and asked his daughter beside him, "How was it?"

Lu Yuechan stood up slightly. "There's no problem. Let's go quickly. It's very impolite for a small family to be late."

As he spoke, he got off the carriage first. At this time, many carriages from various families were already parked in the square in front of Qianling Academy.

Lu Yuechan glanced at them lightly and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Most of them were low-level spirit-rank chariot-pulling source beasts, belonging to the same level as their "Flying Mane Steed," which was not much better than their own.

Lu Qinghan followed her out of the carriage and sighed softly, "So many people."

Then he followed closely behind Lu Yuechan and walked towards the academy gate. It was just dawn, and the academy gate was already bustling with activity.

After showing their invitations, the two were allowed to pass through. Once inside the college gate, someone came up to greet them.

"Have you two come to attend the apprenticeship ceremony at Qinghan Mountain?"

The newcomer was dressed in what appeared to be a uniform blue and white outfit, and his cultivation level was at the mid-level of the Spirit Realm, the same as Lu Qinghan's. Not daring to be negligent, Lu Qinghan immediately nodded in response, "Yes."

The person who came to greet them smiled and said, "That's good. It's still quite a distance from here to Qinghan Mountain. Please take the carriages prepared by Qinghan Mountain to the banquet venue."

The father and daughter, still dazed, boarded the vehicle prepared by Qinghan Mountain. Without anyone driving them away, the beast they were pulling began to gallop smoothly and swiftly along the road.

Lu Qinghan pulled back the carriage curtain and stared intently at the source beast pulling the carriage for a while before saying uncertainly, "Is this the Light Spirit Steed? The kind that costs 30,000 source spirit stones?"

Lu Yuechan peeked through the gap in the carriage curtain and nodded. "It has bluish-white scales on the front of its head and the sides of its neck. Its whole body is white, and its mane has a slight gray tinge. It is definitely a light and agile steed."

"I just glanced over, and there are nearly a hundred carriages waiting there. Could they all be nimble steeds? That must be quite a grand gesture."

Their "Flying Mane Steed" was less than a tenth the price of the one in front of them. If all carriages were of this quality, the rental fee alone would be an astronomical figure.

Lu Yuechan thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No."

Lu Qinghan knew his daughter had a consistently good memory, so he didn't doubt her words at all, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, otherwise I'd be resentful of the rich. So, we actually had a pretty good car?"

Lu Yuechan shook her head. "No, what I mean is, we're riding the worst one. The other mounts include the Spirit Winged Steed, the Unicorn Divine Steed, and the Ferghana Spirit Horse."
