Eternal Beast Taming Family

Race: Flower Butterfly Spirit

Rank: Lower rank of domain

Qualification: Extraordinary

Status: In a stable state

Attribute Tendencies: Medicine, Flower, Spirit

Skills: 1. Herbal powder: ...

2. Fragrance of a Thousand Flowers, Soul of a Butterfly: The Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit releases floral fragrance, accompanied by the appearance of butterfly souls of different colors.

Pink Butterfly Soul: Nourishes the target's spiritual power, increasing its maximum potential by 10%;

Blue Butterfly Soul: Locks onto the target's mental energy, preventing them from using mental skills and weakening their perception of the outside world;

White Butterfly Soul: Repairs the target's mental damage and applies a shield against mental attacks.

3. Myriad Flower Spirit Shield: Gathers a large number of illusory petals in the air to form layers of flower shields.

4. Flower Herb Spirit Body: Feeds on spirit flowers, can quickly increase one's cultivation level, and has a small chance to absorb the attributes of spirit flowers and gain related skills.

5. Butterfly Spirit: The Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit consumes energy to become a spirit. In this state, it will only suffer half the effect of non-mental attacks.

6. Dance of Ice and Snow: The Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit dances, summoning ice and snow to fall in a large area and condensing into ice butterflies. When attacked, the ice butterflies explode, increasing the cold air in the area. If they hit a target, they will accumulate the frozen status on the target.

7. Butterfly Realm Flower Border: ...

Evolutionary path: 1. Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit → Myriad Flower Butterfly Mother;

2. Myriad Flowers and Butterfly Spirit → Frosty, Withered Butterfly;

3. Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit → Flower Realm Spirit King Butterfly

The skill changes are not significant; it's just that the three skills "Fragrance of a Thousand Flowers - Soul Stabilizer," "Fragrance of a Thousand Flowers - Spirit Enhancer," and "Fragrance of a Thousand Flowers - Spirit Strengthener" have been combined into "Fragrance of a Thousand Flowers - Butterfly Soul."

In addition, I learned a new skill called "Floating Flower Realm".

However, the same skill will definitely have vastly different effects when performed by "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirits" at different levels, so there is naturally no need to worry about combat ability.

Chu Mu looked at the three evolution paths of the "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit" and their different conditions, and pondered for a moment.

In fact, he had always known that Chu Shengfan had chosen the "Flower Domain Spirit King Butterfly" evolution path for "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit".

"A thousand acres of flower-filled land, with at least a thousand kinds of spirit-rank flowers. Only by comprehending the Flower Domain can one evolve."

And they actually planted a thousand acres of spirit flower plains at the foot of Qinghan Mountain, just to meet the prerequisite evolution conditions.

If Chu Mu's prediction is correct, "Butterfly Domain Flower Realm" should also be considered a type of "Flower Domain". Once Chu Shengfan brings "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit" back to the thousand-acre spiritual flower plain where it was planted, it can undergo a complete evolution.

That will probably be the time when all the information about "Wanhua Die Ling" will undergo earth-shattering changes.

After a moment of reflection, Chu Mu turned his attention back to the unnamed book and continued flipping through the pages, eventually arriving at the section on family-related information.

Family: Chu Family

Rank: Seventh Rank, Elite Family

Family members: Chu Jingyu (Mid-level Spirit Rank), Chu Qinhui (Lower-level Spirit Rank), Jiang Nian (Upper-level Different Rank), Chu Shengfan (Lower-level Domain Rank)...

Family assets: a 27-mu (approximately 1.8 hectares) mansion, Qixia Town (with 14,230 residents and various facilities), 3,500 Source Spirit Stones, 26,023 Source Pattern Stones, and other items and land.

Servant Families: The Fu Family (8th Rank, 11 Spirit Rank members, 235 Other Rank members); the Shen Family (8th Rank, 13 Spirit Rank members, 175 Other Rank members); the Li Family (8th Rank, 12 Spirit Rank members, 245 Other Rank members).

Family Origin Beasts: Moon-Worshipping Rabbit (25), Herbal Powder-Eared Rabbit (53)...

Family location:…

Family Reputation: 500 points (Exclusive control of the county town)

Family Fortune: Green, 16 feet tall (The family fortune is long-lasting, and the probability of having a child with high aptitude increases slightly)

Compared to before, there haven't been many changes in the family information, except that some family members were lost in the last snake tide incident.

In addition to the source beasts lost in the grasslands, the Chu family's assets actually declined during this period.

However, these things are all fluid. As long as the Chu family's basic population base remains, these resources can be earned back, so Chu Mu doesn't care.

Although his fortune was still cyan, it had increased from a few inches to more than ten feet. This significant increase in fortune brought Chu Mu a sense of peace.

Finally, with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, Chu Shengfan looked at the changes in the source artifact itself.

Source: Nameless Book

Rank: Domain Rank

Source Spirit: 5488 points (200 points recovered daily)

Attribute Tendency: None

Abilities: 1. Awakening...

2. Bloodline Enhancement: Members of a bloodline contracted family can enjoy a cultivation enhancement, receiving a 50% cultivation bonus. Their maternal relatives can receive a 20% cultivation bonus. (Consuming Source Spirit can increase the bonus for specific family members.)

3. Source Vessel Spiritual Land: The location of the source vessel increases the energy of the family's territory's ley lines, resulting in increased production of spiritual products, shorter growth cycles, and improved quality.

4. Evolution Chart: Consume Source Spirits to explore different evolution paths of Source Beasts and memorize them into Source Beast lineages. Each time a new Source Beast form is lit up, a portion of Source Spirits is awarded as a reward.

5. Paged Spirit Book: Imprints a portion of one's abilities onto the pages of a book, allowing those with Chu family blood to wield the abilities within. (Currently available for imprinting: Spirit Awakening, Evolution Chart.)

6. Seed of Talent: Condenses a Seed of Talent for a family that has formed a bloodline, which can enable family members to be born with the talent of a Contract Master. Currently, ten Seeds can be condensed.

7. Book of Ten Thousand Miles: The Nameless Book can condense into up to ten Books of Ten Thousand Miles, which allow the information written by the holder of the book using spiritual power to be simultaneously displayed on other Books of Ten Thousand Miles.

8. The True Nature of All Things: Consuming Source Spirit allows you to view information about all things. Every person with Chu family blood will automatically possess this ability after they are born and their spirit is awakened.

9. Spirit Infusion: Consuming Source Spirit allows ordinary things in the world to evolve into Source Beasts. (These things include all utensils and physical objects; some items have a chance of failure, and Source Spirit is not returned if the infusion fails.)

As the source artifact of the Chu family, the "Nameless Book" also advanced to the Domain Rank source artifact as Chu Shengfan advanced to the Domain Rank.

Moreover, almost every one of his abilities has been improved to varying degrees.

With the increase in bloodline amplification and the increase in the number of talent seeds, all members of the Chu family bloodline can now possess talents.

The number of Wanli Books has increased to ten, so each member of the Chu family can have one. In terms of communication, Chu Mu thinks it's somewhat like a mobile phone from his previous life, and the Source Device is their only base station.

Thinking about it this way, I could study how to adjust the Wanli Book to resemble the 'Internet' of my previous life.

The biggest change in the ability of "the true nature of all things" is that it no longer needs to rely on books to use this ability; it has become an innate talent of the Chu family.

Chu Mu was also surprised by this. Wasn't the current situation equivalent to the Chu family members having an extra talent for contract mastery compared to others?

No, there could be two.

As for the newly added "spirit initiation" ability, Chu Mu read it carefully several times and realized that it was somewhat similar to the "enlightenment" in the immortal and god novels of his previous life.

Transforming ordinary plants into spirits is quite interesting.

Feeling a strong urge to test this ability, Chu Mu turned his gaze to the lion-shaped statue in front of the main hall.

Using his mind to communicate with the spirit of the Nameless Book Source, he focused his attention on the lion statue.

A large amount of Source Spirit was consumed instantly, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred... until five hundred Source Spirit were spent.

Then, seemingly endless golden runes flew out from the nameless book, fluttering in the air like butterflies and enveloping the lion statue as tall as a person.

After about ten minutes, the runes slowly disappeared into the lion statue's body, giving it a layer of brilliant golden light.

A few minutes later, the golden light slowly receded into the lion statue's body. Its originally rough, bluish-green stone skin became smooth and lustrous after the golden light subsided, and its color deepened.

A sense of vitality flowed through the lion statue, and it gradually took on a living aura.

The next moment, its large, copper-bell-sized eyes slowly opened, revealing a clear confusion, as if it did not know why it was here or what kind of existence it was.

It tilted its head slightly to look at Chu Mu, and for no reason felt a natural intimacy. Its body spun stiffly on the stone platform, and then it lightly jumped down from it.

Chu Mu rubbed his palms several times, looking at the astonishing scene before him. This "spirit point" really could turn inanimate objects into living things; it was truly miraculous.

Source Beast: Blue Stone Lion

Rank: Middle of the Common Rank

Qualification: 100

Attribute Tendency: Stone, Strength

State: Confused, curious

Skill: 1. Stone Statue True Form: The Blue Stone Lion Statue can be switched between the stone statue and the lion statue.

Stone statue state: The body's defensive capabilities are greatly enhanced, energy consumption is reduced to a minimum, and energy fluctuations on the body are almost non-existent, greatly reducing the body's presence and sense of life.

Lion Form: Can move freely and use its other skills.

2. Immense strength: The stone lion statue can carry objects several times its own body weight, and its pounces and bites also carry a terrifying amount of strength.

3. Stone Drop: Consuming varying amounts of energy condenses stones of different sizes above the target area, which are then used to strike the target. (The larger the stone, the longer the condensation time.)

Evolution Path: 1. Blue Stone Lion Statue → Sphinx (Evolution Condition: Successfully devour the spirits of three Contract Masters or Ghost-type Source Beasts to complete the evolution.)

2. Blue Stone Lion Statue → Blue Stone Giant Lion Statue (Evolution conditions: Absorb a large amount of Blue Steel Rock and use Xuanling Liquid; the body size will grow to a certain extent to evolve.)

After reading the information, Chu Mu's gaze became thoughtful.

To be honest, exchanging 500 Source Spirits for only one Mortal-level Source Beast is a particularly unprofitable deal for Chu Mu and the Chu family.

After all, the rewards these Source Spirits can obtain by arbitrarily probing the evolution path of a mortal-level Source Beast are incomparable to those of a mortal-level or even a different-level Source Beast.

However, on the other hand, the source beasts born after Chu Mu's spiritual infusion are definitely unique to the Chu family and have never appeared in the outside world before.

Moreover, these source beasts are naturally affectionate towards me; with proper training, they might be able to serve as family guards.

As he was thinking this, the newly come to life "blue stone lion statue" gently took a step and walked towards Chu Mu's direction.

It just seemed to take one step and then stop twice, as if it had some inner conflict.

Chu Mu took the initiative to walk over, and on the lion statue's dark blue face, one could clearly see surprise and a slight expectation.

Standing before the lion statue, Chu Mu's figure slowly rose, and his palm landed on the lion's head. "Good child, from now on you will be the guardian of this ancestral hall."

……

Chuyancheng.

This is the third day since Chu Huanlou opened.

That evening, around four or five o'clock, Chu Huanlou had already put up a sign saying it was closed.

This is because tonight, Chu Huanlou will be hosting a banquet involving various forces, large and small, in Chuyan City.

As a newly established force in Chuyan City, it was actually quite difficult to invite representatives from all the other forces to come.

However, Chu Huanlou was incredibly wealthy and powerful. The person who came to visit was a Spirit-level Contract Master, and he brought Spirit-level materials. Even if it was just for the sake of the gifts, they still had to come and show their faces at this banquet.

Not to mention, the head of the Chu family, the most powerful force in Chuyan City, questioned Chu Huanlou, only to be seriously injured by a young girl.

The majestic firebird that once adorned the entire Chuyan City still evokes a sense of awe and fear in people to this day.

So almost as soon as Chu Huanlou closed down, carriages pulled by various source beasts arrived one after another in front of Chu Huanlou.

As usual, the smaller factions arrived first; they were either businesses that operated a few shops in Chuyan City or gangs that occupied a few streets.

The leaders of these forces are at most at the Extraordinary Rank, and their strength is not high, but they are the cornerstones that make up the current situation of Chuyan City.

Following them were some medium-sized forces. Their cultivation levels were not much different from those of the previous ones, but they were all families that possessed Origin Artifacts.

Moreover, behind the smaller forces, there are more or less traces of support from these families.

Finally, after the sky had completely darkened, the eighth-rank noble families of Chuyan City slowly arrived.

On the fifth floor of Chu Huanlou, Chu Jingyu watched the guests gradually enter the building and asked Jiang Yan, who was standing behind him with a somewhat restrained expression:

"Has any investigation been conducted into the reason why the Chu family of Chuyan City acts with such impunity?"

Jiang Yan sorted through the information in his mind and then replied:

"Patriarch, the Chu family has a daughter who married a member of the Fang family, a prominent family of seventh rank in Huanyun City. The Fang family is a powerful family in Huanyun City, with five Domain Rank Contract Masters. They are considered a mid-rank family among the prominent families."

Furthermore, it's rumored that the Chu family's daughter's husband successfully advanced to the Domain Rank Contract Master three years ago, and he frequently visits the Chu family in Chuyan City, which explains why the Chu family can act so recklessly in Chuyan City.

Chu Jingyu suddenly let out a soft laugh, as if muttering to himself, "My good elder brother has indeed found a good match."

However, you have a good match for your wife, and I have a good match for my son; it remains to be seen who can leverage more influence.

Jiang Yan bowed slightly to the side, pretending not to hear Chu Jingyu's mutterings.

The dim candlelight and the bright moonlight illuminated the fourth floor of Chu Huan Lou as if it were daytime.

Every guest who came here with different intentions wore a similar smile. Even if they were secretly fighting to the death, they got along like old friends reuniting at this moment.

Just in time, Chu Jingyu, along with Chu Qinhui, Chu Shengyuan, and Nan Li, appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall on the fourth floor.

Upon noticing the arrival of the host, the previously noisy and joyful atmosphere in the banquet hall froze, and all the guests turned their attention to the entrance of the hall, wanting to see who the owner behind Chu Huanlou was.
