Eternal Beast Taming Family

"The sacred way is passed down through generations, and will last for ten thousand years."

"How about we settle on these eight characters for now?" Chu Jingyu said, writing down the eight characters he had just mentioned on the table in front of him.

"The sacred path will be passed down through generations, forever remembered." Chu Qinhui repeated. "Excellent. The new generation name will begin with Xiao Fan and his generation, which also represents a new beginning for our Chu family."

Chu Jingyu glanced at the rest of his family. Jiang Nian smiled but didn't say anything. Chu Shengfan craned his neck to examine the large characters he had written.

Chu Shenghan, holding Chu Shengyuan's hand, also came to the table. The two little heads huddled together, peeking out from Chu Jingyu's arms, and curiously staring at the generational characters, which they kept typing.

Chu Jingyu shook his head helplessly. Under these circumstances, it seemed that only he and Chu Qinhui could make the decisions, with Chu Shengfan barely qualifying as half of them.

So Chu Jingyu waved his hand, telling Jiang Nian to take Xiao Yuan and Xiao Han to rest first.

Only Chu Jingyu, Chu Qinhui, and Chu Shengfan remained in the main room.

"Tomorrow is the day when the village chiefs and clan elders of the four villages will come to pay their respects. We need to come up with a plan on how to manage these four villages."

Mentioning these four villages, Chu Jingyu frowned, as if there was something troubling him.

"What is your father thinking?" Although Chu Qinhui is over thirty years old, he has been ill for many years and his mind is still somewhat simple. He has not handled too many things on his own.

"Our family is small and we can't spare anyone to manage the villages. So we'll let them manage themselves according to the original procedures. We'll just divide the original tax revenue into two parts: one part goes to us and the other is submitted to the town."

Minor matters should be handled within the village; only report any truly urgent matters to us.

Chu Qinhui didn't think it was inappropriate. "This is good, so as to avoid meddling in their village's internal affairs right away and causing them to have some opinions in secret."

However, this also has a downside: it makes them seem like a family that takes money but doesn't put in any effort.

Chu Jingyu smiled noncommittally, "Let them say what they want. We can't waste this precious year developing the family on mundane village affairs."

"Grandpa is right, so Grandpa, do you think I can quit my job in town?"

After spending some time at the town mayor's office, although his colleagues all seemed to like him, Chu Shengfan disliked this kind of work that involved handling daily affairs, leaving him with very little time for cultivation.

Hearing his words, Chu Jingyu reached out and slapped him on the head. "You brat, you have to keep doing this whether you like it or not. Do you think the mayor's mansion is a place you can come and go as you please?"

When Chu Shengfan said those words, he didn't have much hope of actually being able to quit his job. After seeing his grandfather's attitude, he readily admitted defeat.

"I was just saying, why are you taking it so seriously?"

"Talking about it? That means you've thought about it, and thinking about it means you're about to do it. Also, when you're at work, don't just mindlessly do your job."

Maintain good relationships with colleagues, gather as much information as possible about the other two companies, and be quick-witted in your actions.

"understood."

"Although those two families seem quite friendly to us on the surface, who knows if they might be trying to trip us up behind our backs? We need to be careful lately."

Chu Jingyu was still worried, so he once again instructed his son and grandson to keep an eye on the other two families.

While Chu Jingyu and the other two were discussing matters, Chu Mu was also delighted to see the updated family chronicle and the rapidly increasing Yuan Spirit balance.

Family Chronology

The Jingyuan Dynasty, Yuanhe era, 3397.

……

10 month 3 day,

The Chu family held a banquet to announce to the entire Heyu Town that the Chu family had become a prominent family, and from then on, they owned the four villages of Fuhe, Qingsha, Tuwo, and Chenliu as their territory.

The Chu family confirmed their generational names: "Passing down the sacred way, forever for ten thousand years," signifying that the Chu family possesses the potential to be passed down through generations.

The family's reputation is enhanced, 100 Source Spirit points are gained, the territory is expanded, and the daily Source Spirit recovery rate is increased.

The source artifact 'Nameless Book' has been upgraded to a mid-tier mortal artifact.

Source: Nameless Book

Rank: Mid-tier Mortal Weapon

Source Spirit: 135 points (15 points/day)

Attribute Tendency: None

Abilities: 1. Awakening...

2. Bloodline Amplification: Members of a bloodline contract family and their source beasts enjoy a 2% cultivation amplification bonus (this bonus can be amplified for a certain period of time by consuming a certain amount of source spirit).

3. Source Spirit Amplification...

4. Evolutionary diagram…”

After reading the current information about the "Nameless Book", Chu Mu felt speechless. Although its rank had been upgraded from the lower level of the mortal rank to the middle level of the mortal rank, the improvement in its abilities was too insignificant.

The only improvement in cultivation bonus from bloodline enhancement has increased from 1% to 2%. He really wanted to complain, "Do I need your 1% enhancement bonus?"

However, Chu Mu soon sensed the changes brought about by the advancement in rank in other places.

Because the space in which he exists vibrates, the entire area of ​​the space gradually increases.

Along the edge, it spreads out about ten meters in all directions, and the whole space suddenly becomes much wider.

Chu Mu nodded silently. It was alright. At least his living space had changed from a tiny cage to a larger one, giving him more room to move around.

The conversation inside the main room continued.

"After I finish dealing with matters concerning the four villages tomorrow, I will go to the outer border. Qin Hui, take good care of the house. Xiao Fan, keep watch in town and gather any information that may be useful."

Chu Qinhui frowned. "Father, are you still going to the outer realm? We know nothing about it. Let's wait until Xiaofan and I improve our cultivation before we go together."

"It's too late. Our Chu family's foundation is already weak. If we don't seek resources for development outside the borders, it will be difficult to turn things around once the other two families gain the upper hand."

"Then let Xiao Fan watch the house, I'll go with you," Chu Qinhui said again.

"Are you going to ask me to take care of you? Don't worry, I've seen all kinds of dangers. This is my first time going to the outer reaches of the world. I'll just go and see what's going on and gather some information. I won't go too deep, so you can rest assured."

Chu Qinhui wanted to say something more, but Chu Mu's voice came from the solid books on the octagonal table.

"If you go out, try to collect these medicinal herbs as much as possible, as they will be beneficial to the injuries on your golden jade beast."

Then a long list of medicinal herbs was read out.

The three people in the main room paused. Chu Jingyu turned around and bowed towards the stone book. Then he took out paper and pen and quickly wrote down the medicinal herbs that Chu Mu had mentioned.

He handed the completed prescription to Chu Shengfan, "Xiaofan, here's the prescription for you. When you go to town for your shift tomorrow, try to bring back the materials on it. I don't need to teach you how to do it, right?"

Chu Shengfan nodded solemnly, "I know, we need to confuse the issue and report several unrelated medicinal herbs."

Chu Jingyu nodded in satisfaction. "Chu Zu has also agreed to let me go out, so you don't need to worry. How can I go out in peace if you keep acting like this? Come on, go back and rest."

With that, Chu Jingyu, feeling a headache coming on, chased the person out.

He stood in front of the door, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and exclaimed, "The moon is so bright tonight."
