Eternal Beast Taming Family

Opening his eyes, Chu Mu found that his 360° field of vision had suddenly become 210°.

He touched his heart and felt it beating again. He looked at his fingers and felt the solid ground beneath him.

After a while, a hearty laugh burst forth from his body.

After a while, he sat up straight, and the book on his chest fell onto his lap.

Chu Mu reached out and picked up the book. The cover was white gold with a slightly frosted texture, but there was nothing on the cover, as if it were a half-finished product.

Turning to the first page, I saw information about the source.

Source: Nameless Book

Rank: Lower level of mortal weapon

Source Spirit: 5 (After consumption, it can regenerate over time. The regeneration speed and accumulation limit are related to the family's rank, reputation, and prosperity.)

Attribute Tendency: None

Abilities: 1. Spirit Awakening: Awakens the spirituality of mortals, enabling them to form contracts with source beasts.

2. Bloodline Amplification: Members of a bloodline contract family and their source beasts enjoy a 1% 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: Consumes Source Spirit to shorten the production cycle of spiritual products in the family's territory and increase their quality.

4. Evolution Chart: Memorize the evolutionary lineage of Source Beasts, consume Source Spirit to probe the target Source Beast, and determine its appropriate evolutionary path.

Chu Mu had already learned about these revealed pieces of information when he first took refuge in this source artifact.

The ranking system for source artifacts is basically the same as that for source beasts.

"Mortal → Extraordinary → Spiritual Realm..."

Having just signed a contract with the Chu family, he would undoubtedly have to start from the very bottom, working as a common artifact.

Source Spirits are the most fundamental ability of Source Artifacts, obtained through a contract with a family. The amount of Source Spirits obtained varies depending on the family's development.

This allows them to invest points to enable their family to develop faster.

As for the abilities, there's not much to say about the first three; they are abilities that every source device must possess.

The fourth one, however, should be unique to his source weapon. Besides the basic abilities, the different source weapons lead to different development directions and environments within the contracted families.

This allows the bloodline to influence the source device in reverse, thus giving the source device different abilities.

Chu Mu's eyes were filled with surprise at his newfound ability; he couldn't be more satisfied. It was like drawing a rarer, even more valuable, card in a game.

For this world, the most important fighting force is the Source Beasts.

However, the development of each source beast has an upper limit. At this point, they need to purify their bloodline or rely on external objects to evolve in order to raise the upper limit of their rank once again.

Therefore, Chu Mu's ability is practically a cheat code for the evolution of source beasts.

After reading the information about the source artifact, Chu Mu calmed himself down a bit and then turned to the next page.

The content on the second page is quite simple.

Family tree

Rank: Unranked

First Generation: Chu Jingyu

Second generation: Chu Qinhui

The third generation: Chu Shengfan, Chu Shenghan, and Chu Shengyuan.

Perhaps because Chu Qinhui's wife did not have her blood dripped into the inscription, her name was not on it.

However, Chu Mu knew that when he transformed into a spiritual artifact, he would be able to take care of the spouses of Chu family members with whom he had a marriage relationship, such as Chu Qinhui's wife, Jiang Nian.

Now that he is merely a mortal being, he can only benefit the direct bloodline of the Chu family.

Then flip it over.

Starting from page three, there are detailed introductions to the family members.

Chu Jingyu was at the very top of the list.

Name: Chu Jingyu

Position: Clan Chief

Rank: Middle of different ranks

Age: 56

Contracted Source Beast: Golden Jade Beast (Injured)

Condition: Robust

Family relationships: Chu Qinhui's father, Chu Shengfan's grandfather...

Perhaps it was because Chu Mu's source artifact was of a low rank, but the content displayed was very basic, and he could basically finish reading it in two glances.

Chu Mu's gaze lingered on his contracted source beast, the "Golden Jade Beast," for a moment. To be honest, Chu Mu was really eager to see what the source beasts of this world looked like.

Furthermore, Chu Mu was slightly surprised by Chu Jingyu's age. With a full head of white hair, he was not even sixty years old. In his previous life, he had not yet reached retirement age.

And shouldn't people appear younger in this fantastical world?

After reading Chu Jingyu's information, I continued to look at the information of the others.

However, it wasn't the expected information about Chu Qinhui, but rather about the source beast "Golden Jade Beast" that Chu Jingyu had contracted.

Name: Golden Jade Beast (Chu Jingyu)

Rank: Middle of different ranks

Qualification: One in a hundred (one in a hundred)

Status: Injured, Recovering

Attribute Tendency: Earth, Metal

Skill: 1. Geography: Explore a certain area of ​​land nearby and collect some information contained therein.

2. Golden Jade Scales: The body is covered with golden jade-like scales, providing it with powerful defensive capabilities.

3. Drilling: Consuming its own energy, the Golden Jade Beast's body can merge into the ground or ore.

Evolutionary path: Conditions not yet met.

It also includes a picture of the Golden Jade Beast.

Its overall appearance is somewhat like a beetle, but it has two large, gleaming pincers in front of its mouth. It's easy to imagine that if it were to bite down, an ordinary person would lose a chunk of flesh.

In addition, its entire body is jade white with gold thread patterns interspersed throughout, giving it a very mystical appearance.

This is the source beast of this world. A strange light flashed in Chu Mu's eyes. Its extraordinary appearance alone had already attracted his great interest.

Although it has become the spirit of the source artifact, it seems to be doing quite well so far. I just wonder if I will have the chance to see any mythical beasts such as dragons and phoenixes from legends?

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Mu continued flipping through the booklet.

Compared to Chu Jingyu, who is of a lower rank, there is more information available, while the other members of the Chu family are only briefly mentioned.

Only Chu Qinhui's information had an additional column displaying the status of being poisoned and cursed.

Chu Mu closed the book, his mood gradually calming down. He looked up at the space he stood in, which was created because of his contract with the Chu family.

It was less than 20 square meters in size and only about four or five meters high. A membrane at the boundary blocked out the hazy fog.

People who spend a long time in the vast open world may feel very restricted and oppressed, but Chu Mu felt that things were not bad at the moment. At least he had a body and could still move around a bit.

Perhaps in the future, as the rank of the Source Artifact "Nameless Book" increases, this space can be further expanded, and it might even be possible to allow life forms other than him to enter.

Pulling back his jumbled thoughts, Chu Mu glanced at the hospital gown he wore in his previous life and frowned slightly.

Thinking that he would be summoning the Chu family later, the environment and attire were really inappropriate.

Then, with a pang of heartache, I used some of my Source Spirit to change my attire and the decorations in this twenty-square-meter space.

First, he changed his striped hospital gown into a magnificent ancient robe that he remembered, and his black hair grew longer and was tied up with a jade hair crown.

A pond-like pool appeared in front of them, with an antique-style pavilion standing beside it.

Chu Mu originally had many more ideas, but due to limited space, he could only act in this way, which at least made him look somewhat like a master.

As for why he needed to play the role of a master in front of the Chu family, Chu Mu wasn't entirely sure.

Perhaps it was because, although he shared the same bloodline and fate with the Chu family, he still wanted to keep the initiative in his own hands.

Seeing that everything was ready, Chu Mu sat down at the tea table in the pavilion.

Only then did I extend my attention beyond the book.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Chu family.

The "Nameless Book" where Chu Mu resided was placed on the Eight Immortals Table, and in front of it were some offerings that seemed to have been temporarily presented.

Some fruit, a chicken, a few pieces of pork, and some other things that Chu Mu couldn't recognize, which looked like pastries.

There were nearly nine different items laid out, making it look much more elaborate than a typical household offering to deities.

The three generations of the Chu family stood in front of the Eight Immortals table according to their social status and bowed three times in turn.

Chu Jingyu stood up as if speaking to a book, or perhaps offering a prayer to some unseen being in this world.

"The Chu family has signed a soul contract with the Book Source Artifact for three generations. The source is supported by the family's resources, and they will share weal and woe and stay together for eternity."

Ding~

It sounded like a bell from ancient times.

Extremely fine threads spread out from the book and then connected to each member of the Chu family in the main room.

After a moment, the silk threads gradually disappeared into the void, but the sense of intimacy that connected them did not diminish in the slightest.

Chu Mu, inside the book space, now has a feeling that he can pull the consciousness of any member of the Chu family into the book space.

Thinking of this, he gently tapped the table in front of him.

"Clan Chief Chu, please enter the book for a discussion."
