Eternal Beast Taming Family

Source Beast: Flying Feathered Celestial Serpent

Equal level: Lower domain level

Qualification: Peerless

Status: Curious, expectant

Attribute Tendencies: Medicine, Spirit, Glazed Glass

Skill: 1. Purifying Feathers: Control the feathers to fall from the air and dispel negative statuses and effects on the target.

2. Azure Glass Heart: Based on the target's cultivation level, a Azure Glass Heart is temporarily condensed for them. Using the Azure Glass Heart as a medium, their soul merges with heaven and earth, making it easier for them to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

3. Breath of the Medicine Spirit: The Flying Feathered Serpent is born from consuming spiritual medicines. When it exhales its spiritual breath, it can dispel many ailments from its target.

4. Pure Qi (Dao Principle): The Flying Celestial Serpent condenses the Qi of Heaven and Earth, refining it into Pure Qi. This Qi can thoroughly purify people, beasts, objects, and even a region of Heaven and Earth, restoring them to their theoretically optimal state.

5. Divine Image (Dao Principle): The Flying Heavenly Serpent absorbs the imprints of heaven and earth, and can condense divine images (currently, each of the two divine images can condense three images).

The Tengshe Creation Statue: A divine statue with two horns on its head and covered in green scales, capable of bringing endless life and boundless creation to the area it occupies, disrupting the trajectory of all life within the area, making it difficult for others to fathom.

The Feathered Serpent's wondrous form: A divine image with condensed broad feathers and outstretched wings, and trembling wing membranes on both sides of the serpent's head. This divine image can absorb the Dao seals and spiritual power of heaven and earth, briefly manifesting and protecting a region for a long time.

6. Myriad Miraculous Elixir Formulas: The Flying Celestial Serpent is born from consuming medicinal herbs and can deduce elixirs with certain effects by combining different spiritual herbs through its innate abilities.

7. Invulnerable Realm (Domain): The Flying Feather Serpent unfolds its domain. Within this domain, governed by special rules, all targets attacked will not be injured; instead, the damage will accumulate. Upon leaving the domain, the accumulated damage will erupt instantly. (Domain Master's Saving Judgment: Can choose to split the accumulated damage into three bursts.)

Almost immediately upon seeing the Origin Beast, apart from Chu Daoyan who was still somewhat bewildered, the rest of the Chu family members thoroughly understood its information.

Even among the Chu family, who were accustomed to seeing fine things, the information about the "Soaring Feather Heavenly Serpent" was extremely rare and exceptional.

While the rest of the Chu family were watching the information, Chu Shengfan had already led the "Soaring Feather Heavenly Serpent" to Chu Daoyan's side and helped the man and the beast form a contract.

The Chu family members looked at this youngest child with mostly affection and hope.

Chu Daoling exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle, seeing this makes me want to contract a medicinal beast too!"

Hearing this, the Chu family members burst into laughter. Nan Li, even more exasperated, said, "I wonder who it was that told her to go to Medicine King Valley to see if there were any medicinal beasts she liked, but she refused no matter what. Now she regrets it?"

"Oh dear, Mother, wasn't that because I was young and ignorant, and only wanted to be more powerful than my brother?"

Chu Shengfan looked over with gentle eyes.

"Little Ling has already reached the Evolutionary Rank, so contracting a medicinal beast with this fifth Source Beast wouldn't be bad."

If you are confident, I have a seed from the medicinal tree here; you can try to see if you can get it to take root and sprout.

"The seeds of the ancient Medicine King Tree..." Chu Daoling's gaze fell on the seeds with amazement. "Then I really have to give it a try."

This again elicited another burst of laughter from the Chu family.

Having fewer people has its advantages; it makes it easier for the family to unite as one, and resources can be concentrated to nurture each member of the family.

……

After seeing off the "ancestor" from the mountain, Lin Zixu made arrangements for the affairs of the Beast Academy before returning to the Lin residence in Wandao City in the evening.

Upon his return, the butler, who had been waiting at the door, quietly reported to his master:

"Sir, Master Lin and the others are waiting for you to dine together in the flower hall."

Lin Zixu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Just arrange for them to use it first. Why wait for me?"

"I've already tried to persuade them, but they insist on waiting for you to come back... They say they haven't seen you in so long, and they want to spend more time with you in the future."

Lin Zixu nodded slightly. "I'm giving you a task. Go directly to Muyang City later and investigate whether anyone has been in contact with them recently."

"They" naturally refers to Lin Zixu's father, Lin Yue, and his family. The butler nodded slightly, and his steps slowly retreated, gradually disappearing into the dim glow of the sunset.

Lin Zixu walked unhurriedly through the courtyard, and only after the stewards of the manor greeted him did he appear in the flower hall.

Upon seeing his arrival, Lin Muyue and the others, who had been waiting for a long time and whose faces were gradually showing impatience, quickly composed themselves and replaced their expressions with delight.

"Zixu".

"Big brother."

Lin Zixu nodded slightly, sat down at the head of the table in the flower hall, and then spoke softly.

"I'm quite busy, and sometimes I might not be back, so you don't need to wait for me for your meal."

Lin Muyue quickly put on a sweet smile, "Big brother, it's only right that we wait for you. Right now, our Lin family is all relying on you."

We, your younger siblings, are so foolish; we only regret that our abilities are too limited to help you.

Lin Zixu calmly looked at his nominal sister. Over the years, he had seen all sorts of people, and this sister's eyes were practically overflowing with calculation.

On the surface, this statement was about caring for him, but what it actually implied was that he wanted to linger his attention on her and Lin Muxing and help them out.

In reality, Lin Zixu didn't have a deep emotional connection with them. He had already done more than enough by supporting their luxurious lifestyle in Muyang City out of consideration for Lin Yue.

Based on the resources he has sent to Muyang City over the years, if they had even a little ambition, they wouldn't still be at the Spirit Rank level after more than two hundred years.

Spirit-rank contract masters only live for three to five hundred years. Lin Yue is able to live in such a robust and energetic state because he sent the longevity leaf back to extend his lifespan.

Now it seems that Lin Yue is sharing the longevity leaf with this stepmother who is also of the same spirit rank, in order to live like this.

The longevity leaf, which could originally extend one's lifespan by a thousand years, would likely be greatly diminished if shared between two people.

Since Lin Muyue and Lin Muxing did not obtain the Longevity Leaf to prolong their lives, they will likely age rapidly over the next two hundred years and die even earlier than their parents.

As his thoughts raced, Lin Zixu quickly came back to his senses. He chuckled inwardly, realizing that the arrival of these four people had indeed thrown his mind into disarray.

His gaze did not linger on Lin Muyue, who had just spoken, but instead turned to Lin Muxing, who had been quiet all along.

"Does Mu Xing have any special skills? I can help you find a job in Wandao City. A man should have his own career so that he won't confine his mind to the courtyard."

Lin Muxing seemed taken aback that her older brother would suddenly speak to her, and looked at Lin Zixu in a daze.

He opened his mouth, "Big...Big Brother, I...I don't have any special skills, but if...if Big Brother doesn't mind, I can serve tea and water."

As she spoke, she seemed to realize that she was being unambitious and lowered her head in shame.

Lin Zixu's eyes showed some surprise. Over the years, he had returned to Muyang City, but he had only noddled to Lin Muxing. Now, after exchanging a few words, he realized that Lin Muxing was such a shy person.

Lin Zixu glanced thoughtfully at Lin Muyue and her daughter. Could this be a case of a strong mother and a weak son? Or perhaps it was a case of yin prevailing over yang?

"Serving tea and water isn't necessary, but if people knew you were my brother, probably not many would dare drink your tea. Tomorrow, come with me to the Beast Academy and start as a lowly Beast Keeper!"

Lin Muxing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Lin Zixu, stammering, "Really...really, I...I'm willing."

He spoke haltingly, yet there was an eerie feeling of entrusting one's life to someone.

Lin Zixu forcibly shook off that strange feeling from his mind, and sighed inwardly, "He's actually an honest kid."

Lin Yue laughed heartily, "Xiao Xing, just obediently follow your brother and you'll surely achieve great things in the future."

A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of Lin Muyue's mother, the seemingly delicate woman, but she quickly suppressed it and echoed:

Seeing that Lin Zixu was willing to help Lin Muxing with her affairs, Lin Muyue's eyes lit up instantly. This was a very good sign for them.

As long as Lin Zixu is willing to lend a hand, their subsequent schemes still have a good chance of success.

Therefore, Lin Muyue instantly forgave Lin Zixu's previous attitude of ignoring her, and instead smiled and spoke again.

"My brother made this arrangement to give you some experience; he certainly doesn't want you to stay at the grassroots level forever."

Lin Muxing simply nodded silently in response to her words.

Lin Zixu then directly ordered his servants to bring out the dishes.

After finishing his meal, and confirming that Lin Yue really had nothing to say to him, Lin Zixu left the flower hall ahead of time.

……

Five days later, in the study of the Lin residence, the steward, who had returned from Muyang City, was carefully reporting the information he had gathered during his investigation in Muyang City.

"My lord, you are right. Something big has indeed happened to your father's family in Muyang City."

Miss Lin Muyue and Feng Yanmo, the third young master of the direct line of the Feng family, a sixth-rank noble family, are engaged to each other. However, the main branch of the Feng family wants to find Feng Yanmo a better match because their family backgrounds are not compatible.

Miss Lin Muyue once proclaimed that you were her elder brother, but this drew ridicule from the Feng family, who said that how could a small clan like theirs, which didn't even have a family of source beasts, be associated with the dean of the Beast Academy in Wandao City?

They must have forcibly abducted Feng Yanmo.

"It sounds like a tragic love story," Lin Zixu chuckled, then continued, "How old is Feng Yanmo? And what is his cultivation level?"

"Over two hundred years old, and recently promoted to the lower level of the Domain Rank."

Upon hearing this news, Lin Zixu finally understood the purpose of his father's visit. It turned out that his father wanted to give Lin Muyue a higher status in his presence.

Lin Zixu had met the head of the Feng family before, but only at public banquets; he had never had any contact with him in private.

"Tell me, as a noble family of the sixth rank, how could the Feng family not know that Lin Muyue is my half-sister?"

The butler bowed slightly. "It's hard to say for sure, but if the Feng family really values ​​this third young master, they should have thoroughly investigated Miss Lin Muyue's information beforehand."

You never hid the fact that you had returned to Muyang City to visit relatives before, so the Feng family should be aware of it.

"So tell me, is this scheme targeting Lin Muyue, or is it aimed at me?"

The butler's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. "The Feng family is incredibly audacious to dare to plot against you."

"Go and gather information about the Feng family, including their business dealings..."

After making the arrangements, Lin Zixu waved for the butler to leave.

"Father, oh Father, for the sake of your daughter, do you really want me to be your stepping stone?" Lin Zixu murmured softly.

……

The next day, Lin Zixu appeared on time in the flower hall of the banquet.

Upon his arrival, the atmosphere of the family of four, who were enjoying their dinner in harmony, momentarily faltered, feeling somewhat awkward as if they had been disturbed by an outsider.

"Zixu is here. I didn't know you were coming back so early today, so I didn't wait for you."

Lin Zixu waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright."

After he sat down, he didn't look at the dishes on the table, but smiled at Lin Muyue and asked, "Little sister, you're all grown up now, do you have someone you like?"

When Lin Zixu spoke, Lin Yue and the other three were first taken aback, then their eyes lit up with uncontrollable joy. The opportunity had finally arrived; the reason they had come to Wandao City was precisely for this matter.

If Lin Zixu could agree to let them receive the bloodline of the Source Artifact and officially announce it to the world, wouldn't her relationship with Young Master Feng Yanmo be settled?

Lin Muyue stood up and nodded shyly.

Lin Yue spoke for her, "It's the Feng family, a sixth-rank noble family, and the third young master of the current family head, Feng Yanmo."

"Oh? Why didn't you bring her back so your brother could see her?" Lin Zixu's gaze fell indifferently on Lin Muyue.

Lin Muyue's body stiffened slightly, and then her expression seemed to turn somewhat sad.

Lin Yue sighed, then continued, "They're not even related to Feng Yanmo. They look down on your sister for not having a good family background and say they want to arrange a marriage between someone of equal social standing for Feng Yanmo."

Lin Zixu stroked his chin. "That's true. One is from a sixth-rank aristocratic family, and the other has no family rank. The difference is quite significant. However, judging a person by their family background..."

The Feng family is nothing special. Marrying into their family like this probably won't be a good thing. It's better to end the relationship.

In the future, if my sister has someone she likes, she must not only value family background but also the family atmosphere and the man's character.

Hearing Lin Zixu's words, Lin Muyue's expression grew increasingly stiff; this was completely different from the scene she had envisioned.

Shouldn't Lin Zixu be furious, give himself a new identity, and then slap the Feng family in the face?

She could only look at Lin Yue with pleading eyes.

Lin Yue's expression was complicated, but he finally looked at his eldest son and spoke.

"Zixu, you've already established your own Beast Clan, but you're ultimately a lone wolf. Why not add your younger brother and sister to the family as well?"
