Eternal Beast Taming Family

Faced with the old man's probing, Chu Jingyu smiled gently, "It's a pity. I found this scale by chance when I was out. It's the only one. So, as you suggested, let's choose the second way to sell it here."

Faced with Chu Jingyu's choice, the old man gave Chu Jingyu a deep look, and then asked the middle-aged man standing behind the counter to write the consignment deed.

After the two deeds were each marked with the mental imprints of the old man and Chu Jingyu respectively, the old man then took out an invitation and handed it to Chu Jingyu.

"This is an invitation to the Treasure Pavilion auction in nine days. If all goes well, this golden scale should appear at that auction, and you are welcome to attend."

Chu Jingyu accepted the invitation. Although it was sturdy, it felt like some kind of silk material. "Thank you, senior."

"If you need anything else, you can browse around our Treasure Pavilion." The old man, leaning on his cane, raised the scepter in his hand, which was covered in golden scales, and walked away from the counter.

Chu Qinhui then led Chu Jingyu and Chu Shenghan up the cloud platform to the third floor.

Seeing the various source beasts locked in cages, Chu Shenghan's already round eyes widened even more.

Chu Qinhui patted his daughter's head, "Xiaohan, see if there are any source beasts you like here."

Chu Shenghan looked around the cages and then walked towards the row of cages containing bird-like creatures.

After wandering around for a while, Chu Shenghan finally stood in front of a small, palm-sized, emerald-green, and exquisitely crafted source beast.

"Emerald Bird", mid-level mortal rank, priced at 120 Source Stones.

This price is fairly average among the source beasts on this level; it's neither the most expensive nor the cheapest.

Chu Shenghan's gaze fell on her father and grandfather, silently telling them that she liked this source beast.

Chu Qinhui glanced at the "Kingfisher" twice, then looked away. "Xiao Han, why don't you take a look at this one and see if you like it?"

As he spoke, he took Chu Shenghan's hand and walked towards the center of the hall. Soon, the father and daughter stopped in front of the slightly larger cage in the center.

The "Long-browed Blue-winged Sparrow" was the very source beast that Chu Qinhui had taken a liking to at first sight when he first came to the Treasure Pavilion, feeling it was suitable for his daughter.

Chu Shenghan looked at the source beast in the cage, her eyes flashing with amazement. But when her gaze fell on the nameplate on the cage and the price after the name, she tugged at her father's arm.

"I don't like this Source Beast. The Jade Bird from before was quite nice." With a price difference of ten times, even if I liked it, I wouldn't.

Seeing the source beast his son had chosen, Chu Jingyu stepped forward without saying anything, but silently tapped his head hard.

They really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. How many source beasts could they buy with this price?

In Chu Jingyu's view, even if it is a source beast of a different rank and can grow to a different rank without any bottlenecks, it is not worth the price at all.

What's this about mortal-level or otherworldly-level species? Just buy them, have Chu Zu check their evolution, and the mortal-level species will directly evolve into an otherworldly-level species, right? And it only costs a very low amount of source stones to do this.

Seeing the huge price difference between different-tier and ordinary-tier species, Chu Jingyu suddenly had a bold idea: he wondered if his ancestor, Chu Zu, would be willing to cooperate.

If Ancestor Chu agrees, then even if the Chu family doesn't venture beyond the boundary, they will still have a steady stream of Source Stones coming in.

Chu Jingyu coughed lightly, bent down and said to Xiao Han, "Okay, let's just choose the Kingfisher."

He turned to the maid who had been following them since they arrived on the third floor and said, "We'll take this Kingfisher. Also, pack a week's worth of food for it."

Seeing that the source beast had been sold, the maid's smile became more sincere. "Yes, sir."

Seeing that her father had actually bought the "Emerald Bird" as his daughter's first Source Beast, Chu Qinhui was somewhat dejected, but the next moment he patted his head.

Walking up to Chu Jingyu, he whispered, "Father, I left all the remaining Source Stones for Xiaofan. We didn't bring that many Source Stones this time, so should we wait until after the scale auction to buy Source Beasts?"

Chu Jingyu stopped in his tracks, a chilling smile creeping across his face. "So, you brought Xiaohan to see the Source Beasts today just to play with her?"

Chu Shenghan also raised her head and looked at her father with suspicion.

"That's definitely not it." Chu Qinhui quickly denied it. "I just didn't expect that scale to be auctioned off, so this is why things have turned out this way. I'm so sorry, Xiaohan."

Chu Shenghan gently shook her head, indicating that it was alright.

Chu Jingyu then started walking again, waving the contract in his hand at Chu Qinhui, "Don't worry, with this, you can buy on credit."

In the checkout area on the third floor, the same maid had already put the "Kingfisher" into a smaller cage, and next to it was a bulging cloth bag, which should contain the "Kingfisher's" food.

"Master, there are a total of one hundred and twenty-five Source Stones."

Chu Jingyu placed the contract directly in front of the maid, "Can I pay on credit?"

The maid picked up the contract and examined it carefully. When she saw the name left by the powerful figure in the pavilion using his spiritual imprint, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

That was a deed that he himself would personally draw up, only for items that were among the last few to be auctioned at the Treasure Pavilion. It's surprising that these three people actually had such a deed.

As she looked up, a friendly smile spread across her face. "Since you have such a deed in your possession, of course it's possible."

As she spoke, she took out the account book, compared it with the contents of the contract, and then turned the account book towards Chu Jingyu.

"Mr. Chu, all you need to do is sign your name here."

Chu Jingyu left his name as instructed, and then, with the maid watching him go, he took the "Emerald Bird" to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

Here, they used the same credit method to buy two kinds of spiritual materials to treat the "Wood Spirit Crystal Pattern Python". Fortunately, the two kinds of spiritual materials mentioned by Chu Zu did not seem to be difficult to find, and the price was very cheap.

After doing all this, the three members of the family left the Treasure Pavilion.

Chu Qinhui carried the cage and looked at the "Kingfisher" inside with a hint of disdain, or perhaps it wasn't disdain, but rather guilt towards his daughter.

Although his eldest son initially contracted with the mortal-level "Phosphorescent Butterfly", he later evolved into the "Flower Medicine Butterfly". His father also guessed that the "Flower Medicine Butterfly" should be an alien-level species.

Not to mention the contract itself, even Uncle Sun cherishes the "Ginseng Baby" very much, which seems to be much more precious than the alien species.

Xiao Han's mother and younger brother both contracted with different-tier source beasts, while Xiao Han was the only one in the family who contracted with an ordinary mortal-tier beast. Chu Qinhui really felt guilty towards his daughter.

No one knows a son better than his father. After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Chu Jingyu said calmly, "Do you feel you're mistreating Xiao Han by only buying her a mortal-level Origin Beast?"

Chu Qinhui's voice was somewhat muffled, "Right now, only Xiao Han's own is a common source beast of the mortal rank. I do have that thought."

Chu Jingyu shook his head slightly. "Then let me ask you, since Ancestor Chu and our family formed a contract, how many times have you evolved our Source Beasts?"

Chu Qinhui pondered for a moment, "Twice, once with the Flower Butterfly, and once with your Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast."

"Then let me ask you again, how many source beasts has he seen in our household?"

"Six or seven kinds, I guess," Chu Qinhui said uncertainly.

"Excluding those unsuitable for evolution, and considering that Ancestor Chu quickly provided a method to treat the Wood Spirit Crystal Pattern Python, do you want to guess whether he can evolve this Emerald Bird?"
