Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chen Kesong's gaze as he looked at the three snake eggs gradually shifted from relaxed to serious. He even stepped forward and rubbed the surface of the three snake eggs a few times with his fingertips.

After a moment, he looked at Chu Jingyu with a complicated expression.

"Are you selling these three Origin Beast eggs?"

Chu Jingyu's smile faded. "What, Elder Chen, have you discovered what race my three eggs belong to?"

Chen Kesong was unfazed by Chu Jingyu's coldness and still smiled as he spoke, "Forgive my limited knowledge, but I was unable to discern which type of source beast this source beast egg belongs to. In order to fulfill the master's arrangements, I have no choice but to take the initiative to buy it."

"What if I could guarantee that these aren't the eggs of the Three-Flame Starfield Bird, but rather the offspring of two giant pythons?"

Chen Kesong shook his head slightly, "This is not up to you or me to decide. Because your source beast egg is special, I'll offer you three source spirit stones."

Three Source Spirit Stones, one Source Spirit Stone is equivalent to a hundred Source Pattern Stones, which is an extremely terrifying price for those ordinary beast eggs that are casually placed in the room.

However, for the offspring of two different-tier source beasts, and three at that, it might not be enough.

Therefore, Chu Jingyu shook his head firmly, "I stole this from the cave of two giant snakes of different ranks, and I will not sell it at this price."

Upon hearing Chu Jingyu's words, Chen Kesong frowned in distress, his tone laced with threat.

"The Huo family initiated this search. They are a true seventh-rank elite. Let alone your family, which is just a small ninth-rank humble family, even an eighth-rank wealthy family would not dare to disobey the Huo family's wishes here."

They're willing to pay a price now, but that might not be the case later.

Chu Jingyu had spent most of his life toiling away, and this was truly one of the most frustrating moments of his life.

The man in front of him, Chen Kesong, was only at the mid-level of the Extraordinary Rank, but Chu Jingyu believed that as long as he passed on the message, a Contract Master of the Spirit Rank or even higher would immediately descend.

To avoid truly offending the Huo family for the sake of the three snake eggs, Chu Jingyu sighed inwardly.

Keeping this humiliation to himself, Chu Jingyu glanced reluctantly at the three snake eggs on the table, just as he was about to agree.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside, followed by a loud roar.

"All Huo family members and retainers are to go out of the territory to search for Luo Bingchen's whereabouts. He has traces of the Jade Crystal Spirit Bird on him. If you have the Jade Crystal Bird, you can find his whereabouts."

The sound was exceptionally loud, seemingly echoing throughout the seemingly endless city walls.

Chen Kesong recognized the voice immediately, and his expression became respectful as he listened to what the voice said.

He didn't even glance at the three snake eggs on the table again, but rushed out the door in a great hurry, as if he had something important to do.

"If you didn't pay, then I'm taking it with me."

Chu Jingyu muttered to himself, then calmly wrapped the three snake eggs on the table back in the package, carried them on his back as before, and calmly left the room.

He glanced outwards, and this was the first time in so many years that he had seen so many high-level contract masters appear before him.

A dozen or so contract masters hovered high in the sky outside the city walls, surrounded by rare birds and beasts. Their ability to hover in the air indicated that they were already at the Spirit rank.

Moreover, there were contract masters dressed in very similar attire below the city walls, heading in different directions towards the outer realm. Various kinds of source beasts were running around on the ground, giving it a wild and untamed feel.

It seems that the Huo family values ​​the "Three Flame Starfield Bird" egg very much, as they have mobilized so many people at once.

Thanks to that person named Luo Bingchen, I was able to protect these three snake eggs. If I meet him again in the future, I will help him if I can.

As the daylight faded, Chu Jingyu could only silently wish that the person named Luo Bingchen could escape the pursuit.

He followed the path he had come from and found the way back to Heyu Town, then walked in without looking back.

Walking into the street, there weren't many people around. The shops selling spiritual materials and equipment on both sides were quite deserted. Upon closer inspection, you could see that the items in the shops were actually just a few things.

When the Liu family was still around, Heyu Town was a bustling town with a considerable number of Spirit Rank Contract Masters and countless Other Rank Contract Masters.

Back then, the trading market was quite prosperous. Now that the Liu family is gone, the number of contract masters has decreased by more than half, and business among contract masters has become difficult.

The two poor families of Shi and Zhang, both ranked ninth grade, can't support Heyu Town. It's estimated that when the towns are evaluated in the new year, Heyu Town will be ranked last.

However, these matters are not of great concern to the Chu family at the moment. Passing by the guards stationed on the street and ignoring their curious glances at the bundle on his back, Chu Jingyu returned home safely.

Although he had only been away for two days, Chu Jingyu felt as if years had passed since he returned. It was evening, and the courtyard gate was unlocked.

Chu Jingyu pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside. The first to notice his return were the two little ones playing in the yard, Chu Shengyuan and Chu Shenghan.

Upon seeing Chu Jingyu, the two children immediately came to greet him. Chu Shengyuan was especially attentive, taking the bundle from his shoulders and asking curiously, "Grandpa, what good things are in this bag?"

Chu Jingyu was afraid the little guy wouldn't be able to hold the bundle, so he didn't hand it to it. Instead, he walked to the stone table in the courtyard and placed the bundle on it.

He patted the little guy's head and said with a smile, "Of course it's a good thing, there are three source beast eggs inside."

"Wow, let me see!" Chu Shengyuan exclaimed in amazement.

Chu Shenghan's eyes also held a hint of anticipation.

Chu Jingyu slowly opened the package, revealing a snake egg about the size of a head, encased in a layer of pinkish-white crystal shell.

Chu Shengyuan reached out his little hand and gently poked the surface of the snake egg. "Grandpa, what kind of source beast egg is this? Why does it look so pink and tender?"

"Don't let its current appearance fool you. Once it hatches, it will grow into a giant python over ten meters long. How majestic!"

"Wow, really?" Chu Shengyuan's eyes shone with anticipation.

Chu Shenghan, who had originally reached out to touch the snake eggs, silently withdrew her hand after hearing Chu Jingyu's words; she was afraid of all snakes.

"Father." Chu Qinhui and Jiang Nian walked out of the main room and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chu Jingyu had returned safely.

Chu Jingyu nodded to them, and then introduced his harvest to the two little ones one by one. The children's exclamations and laughter could be heard from time to time, and a feeling of family happiness echoed in the courtyard.

The moon hangs high in the sky at night.

The two little ones were put back to their own rooms to sleep. Chu Shengfan didn't go home today, since it was still too far from the town.

Chu Shengfan had already been quite busy lately, and wasting time on his way home and to town would undoubtedly squeeze out his already limited time for cultivation.

So unless there are special circumstances, he will go home during his ten-day rest period.

Chu Jingyu and Chu Qinhui were in the main room. Chu Jingyu pointed to the medicinal herbs containing energy that he had collected.

"Select some of these medicinal herbs that are well-preserved and in good condition, and try planting them to see if they can survive. Pack up the rest and send them to Yaoxintang tomorrow."

He then pointed to the "spirit rhinoceros" horn and the unidentified golden scales, saying, "Send them over together."

Chu Qinhui obediently replied, "Yes, Father."

"After obtaining the Source Stone, besides buying enough spiritual liquid for the three snake eggs to absorb, use the rest to buy spiritual items needed for the ginseng baby and the flower medicine butterfly to grow. They are in the period of rapid growth now, and we can't afford to neglect their foundation."
