Eternal Beast Taming Family

Lin Zixu looked at their behavior and felt a little strange. Even ordinary people shouldn't be so afraid of source beasts.

He glanced at them a few more times and noticed that while they were afraid, they also had even more...respect for the source beast.

Respect? When these two words appeared in Lin Zixu's mind, how could a human feel respect for an unfamiliar source beast? Even if it wasn't a desire to possess it, it would at least be surprise or amazement, not respect.

Shaking his head, Lin Zixu banished the thought from his mind, then spoke softly.

"If you don't ride these white cranes, you'll have to walk down the mountain path on your own."

After Lin Zixu finished speaking, the boys and girls were clearly caught in a dilemma. Several of them stepped out of the group and walked towards the mountain path next to the square, actually choosing to take the mountain path.

Lin Zixu sighed, wondering where these people came from that they actually chose to take the mountain path instead of riding the white crane.

He whistled again, the whistle more rapidly, accompanied by a mental fluctuation that spread through the air like ripples. The white cranes seemed to understand Lin Zixu's meaning.

One by one, they flapped their wings and took off at low altitude, then rushed into the crowd beside them, grabbed the clothes on the shoulders of the boys and girls with their two claws, and soared into the sky.

With exclamations of surprise, the young men and women swept past the verdant treetops and slowly made their way down the mountain.

Lin Zixu shook his head and sighed. In the end, he still had to force himself to do it. These young men and women were somewhat passive and needed to be pushed around. It seemed that his original plan needed to be changed.

Chen Zhengchang, who was in charge of the farmland, walked towards the boys and girls with a smile.

He was able to form a spiritual contract with a source beast because he chose to follow the Chu family to migrate outside the dynasty. Despite the hardships along the way, his cultivation level has advanced quite quickly, and he is now a contract master of a different rank.

Along the way, the host family was generous with their rewards, and because the energy in that space was extremely rich, everyone who followed the Chu family on their migration experienced a significant improvement in their cultivation level.

Currently, he is preparing to contract his second source beast, and his family has entrusted him with the responsible task of overseeing the construction of fertile fields.

He was quite pleased with himself, having lived most of his life and reaching the peak of his career, so he was always smiling at everyone.

Even though I just witnessed the argument between the other two people in charge, it didn't affect my mood at all.

He looked at these young men and women; they were all future capable assistants to him.

"The place we're going to requires going down a mountain path, but it's not far. With your walking speed, it should only take about ten minutes. Come with me."

Chen Zhengchang was right. They had only gone down a short stretch of mountain road before he led the boys and girls behind him to the other side.

A cluster of buildings resembling an ancient village appeared before the young men and women. Accustomed to living in leaky stone houses, these young men and women were seeing such a neat and harmonious dwelling for the first time.

"These are houses built by the host family for our village. There were quite a few extra rooms when they were built, so please make do with them for now."

We'll stay in groups of four for now, and once conditions are better, each person can have their own room.

Looking at these obedient young men and women listening to him, Chen Zhengchang felt that they were perfect in every way. They were obedient, young and strong, and with a little guidance, they would become excellent farmers.

The only pity is that these people are still ordinary people who can only do some odd jobs like recording. It is unknown when the master will perform the ritual of opening the spirit box for them.

However, he could go find Lin Zixu and ask if he had any gentle-tempered source beasts there, so that these children could get along with each other and at least he could give them some simple commands.

Just then, some villagers saw the village chief bringing over a hundred children into the village and immediately came up to greet them with curiosity.

"Uncle, where did this child come from?" A young man approached with a grin and asked curiously.

Chen Zhengchang raised his hand and tapped the young man on the head.

"It doesn't matter where they come from. Just know that they will be working for our farming department from now on. You need to train them well so that they don't fall behind the other departments."

Unlike previous town construction, the Chu family has now divided all the population into five departments according to their different responsibilities.

Research Institute (tentative): The plan is to oversee cultural aspects such as schools, research, and libraries.

Tailoring Institute (tentative): in charge of clothing, etiquette, and all wedding and funeral affairs within the Chu family's territories.

Beast Taming Grounds (tentative): In charge of raising most of the source beasts of the Chu family, as well as source beast contract affairs within its jurisdiction.

Blacksmith Shop (tentative): In charge of weapons manufacturing and patrol and guard forces within the Chu family's territory.

Department of Agriculture (tentative): In charge of agricultural matters within the territory of the Chu family.

These departments were only temporarily confirmed. The head of the family had said that there would definitely be changes later, but we just need to wait a little longer.

As the patriarch spoke these words, a look of reverence appeared on his face. At the time, they did not know what the patriarch was waiting for, but they could tell from his subtle expressions that he was definitely waiting for an extremely important person.

Chen Zhengchang's thoughts returned to the present. Among these five departments, their agricultural department was the weakest, consisting mostly of former villagers, all of whom were relatively poor.

The research institute has most of the original members of the Shen family, an eighth-rank noble family, making it the strongest of all departments in terms of overall strength.

The tailor shop has Granny Liu, who originally served the only mistress of the Chu family. Now she is also at the Spirit Rank and is highly valued by the mistress.

Needless to say, the beast taming arena is another story. Lin Zixu is a rising star, and the fact that the patriarch entrusted the management of the source beasts to him already demonstrates his importance.

Only the blacksmith shop could be considered slightly weaker, but it was still a department with a source device.

From this perspective, if it weren't for the occasional involvement of the young master Chu Qinhui from the main family in the reclamation of fertile land, their Ministry of Agriculture would have been completely ruined.

Currently, all these young men and women are on the same starting line, so he naturally wants to nurture them well and help them perform well in front of the head of the household.

However, most of the farmland is located at the foot of the mountains, so it is not very realistic to expect these young men and women to go up and down the mountains all day long.

After settling the villagers and the young men and women down, he began planning to build some houses in the farmland at the foot of the mountain.

Previously, the villagers were able to go up and down the mountain in a single day because they were all contract masters, had fast footsteps, and going up and down the mountain was also a form of cultivation, so they never considered building houses at the foot of the mountain.

But things were different after these children arrived. They also needed some changes, but it was a bit of a pity that they were now located further away from their host family's home.

They hoped that after relocating to the foothills, their agricultural department would not become too far from the power center of the Chu family.

Chen Zhengchang tossed and turned all night, unable to get a good night's sleep.
