Eternal Beast Taming Family

Not far from the family compound, Chu Jingyu arrived at a courtyard where servants were constantly going in and out, suggesting it was a major activity area for the family.

Once inside the courtyard, you can see that the two sides of the courtyard are divided into different functions.

To Chu Jingyu's left, the doors of the houses were wide open, and many maids and servants were sewing, tailoring, or embroidering.

Although the Chu family only brought the Shen family along of the three major servant families, they did not forget to bring some of the other two families' family skills, such as the art of weaving spirit garments, which have now been taught to their loyal servants.

This courtyard is personally overseen by Granny Liu, and a considerable amount of spirit garments are produced daily. However, materials are scarce at the moment, and the servants' cultivation levels are somewhat lower, so most of the produced items are low-grade spirit garments. They have not yet readily used the high-grade materials treasured by the family.

As for the row of houses to Chu Jingyu's right, only a few of them had their doors open, and apart from the guards, there were very few people coming and going.

These were used as warehouses, where a large number of gold, stone and jade artifacts were stored. After all, a complete set of spirit clothes requires more than just cloth and needle and thread; it also needs accessories made of other materials.

As soon as Chu Jingyu appeared in the courtyard, Granny Liu seemed to sense it and hurriedly came out from the inner courtyard.

"Master, why did you come in person? If you had anything to arrange, you could have just had them inform me. Please come in, please come in."

As Granny Liu led the way, she glanced at the "Jade Chasing Ring" floating in Chu Jingyu's hand. Now that Granny Liu had gained some knowledge, she could naturally recognize it as a Source Artifact.

However, it seems unlikely that this source artifact is the one enshrined by the Chu family. After all, many people have seen that the Chu family's source artifact is actually in the shape of a book. Moreover, if it were a family source artifact, how could the family head easily bring it here?

While trying to guess Chu Jingyu's intentions, Granny Liu led the person to the central hall in the courtyard.

Chu Jingyu did not sit down, but looked around before speaking softly.

"In this courtyard, choose a suitable room and enshrine this source artifact. I will teach you some simple control methods so that you can use the power of this source artifact to add patterns to your clothing."

Granny Liu looked up in surprise at the Source Artifact floating in the air, her voice slightly trembling with excitement.

"Patriarch, are you going to hand over these source artifacts to me for control?"

Chu Jingyu nodded. The best approach was for someone of the Chu family bloodline to control these source artifacts, as this would be the simplest and wouldn't require any additional energy.

However, the Chu family was not large enough, and Granny Liu had been the loyal housekeeper who had served the Chu family since it became a prominent family.

Moreover, she has no relatives or descendants and no complicated interpersonal relationships, so Chu Jingyu felt quite at ease entrusting her with the task.

After escaping outside the dynasty, Chu Jingyu also came to terms with it. It would be a waste for the family to leave the various source artifacts unused. And if they continued to hide them, it wouldn't necessarily allow the family to develop quietly and peacefully.

This time, let's maximize the use of the source device's capabilities and allow the family to develop rapidly; that would be true strength.

Having received confirmation from Chu Jingyu, Granny Liu did not refuse. She knew that whatever decision the head of the family made, he must have thought it through carefully. She did not need to ask any further questions; she only needed to follow the instructions.

Chu Jingyu stayed in the courtyard for quite some time, teaching Granny Liu some simple methods of manipulating the source device, and instructing her to take good care of it before turning to leave.

Chu Jingyu was not worried that handing the source artifact over to others would risk its loss.

Because to some extent, these source artifacts are merely lower-level source artifacts of Chu Zu. He can know the location of these source artifacts at any time, and he has the highest control over them, so he can reclaim them at any time.

As long as the Chu family protects their ancestor well, they can easily retrieve the rest of the source artifacts, no matter where they have been lost.

Returning to the ancestral hall, only two source artifacts remained on the table.

"White Crane Stone Wall" and "Fire Spirit Rock Slab".

The "White Crane Stone Wall" was easy to arrange. Chu Jingyu led him directly to the location between the foot of the mountain and the lake. The Chu family had built a courtyard here, where they kept many gentle source beasts.

While still in mid-air, Chu Jingyu saw Lin Zixu walking along the lake, diligently recording information.

Lin Zixu didn't realize Chu Jingyu had arrived until she landed beside him.

Lin Zixu quickly cupped his hands in greeting, "Greetings, Patriarch."

"How's it going with raising these source beasts? If you're not used to it, why don't you go back to being a teacher and study? It's much easier than this job."

Chu Jingyu stood by the lake, watching the figures of some white crane beasts rise and fall in the lake, or the shimmering mullet leaping out from beneath the surface.

Lin Zixu shook his head slightly. "Master, I think this kind of work is quite good. The things I need to do every day are not too complicated. These source beasts are very intelligent and they return home at sunset."

And watching them roam freely in this world, it felt as if I myself had transformed into a bird or a fish to experience the wondrous beauty of nature.

"You're much more mature than my son. Since you're still willing to do this job, I'll give you more responsibilities. Take this."

A stone wall carved with the image of white cranes dancing appeared between Chu Jingyu and Lin Zixu. Lin Zixu was startled when he saw the stone wall, but quickly regained his composure.

"Does the patriarch intend to place the Source Artifact with me?"

Chu Jingyu nodded slightly. "This stone wall is especially effective for crane-type source beasts. Perhaps that one will mutate or evolve, so I placed it here with you. I want you to be able to take on this responsibility."

Upon hearing Chu Jingyu's words, Lin Zixu's gaze, which had been fixed on the "White Crane Stone Wall," intensified. He respectfully bowed to Chu Jingyu.

"Zixu, I will certainly not fail the trust placed in me by the patriarch."

Chu Jingyu nodded in satisfaction, and then taught Lin Zixu the method of controlling the source artifact.

As the setting sun cast its last rays on the horizon, and Chu Jingyu left, Lin Zixu's gaze fell upon the golden surface of the lake, and he smiled softly.

With the source device entrusted to him, does this also mean that he has officially entered the core circle of the Chu family?

……

After settling the "White Crane Stone Wall" in a suitable place, Chu Jingyu returned to the ancestral hall, retrieved the "Fire Spirit Rock Slab," and left.

He had already made arrangements for this last item.

Chu Jingyu appeared before another valley at the foot of the mountain, and the guards on both sides of the valley hurriedly bowed to him.

Chu Jingyu simply waved his hand and went inside.

Outside the valley, there is a lush, verdant landscape of abundant vegetation and vibrant life.

The valley was desolate, with only a few fire-attribute spiritual plants that the Chu family had carefully searched for growing sparsely in the corners of the valley.
