Eternal Beast Taming Family

Name: Chu Shengfan

Position: Ordinary clansman

Rank: Ordinary rank (lower position)

Contract Beasts: None available

Age: twelve years old

Family Relationships: Son of Chu Qinhui, grandson of Chu Jingyu, brother of Chu Shenghan…

Chu Mu felt it was a great pity that this information could not quantify talent, aptitude, and special skills.

But he quickly came to terms with it, after all, they were living, breathing people, not pre-programmed objects, and these things would change as they grew.

The corresponding family information graph has also changed.

Family Tree (Chu Family)

Rank: Poor Family

A different race: one

One mortal clansman

Ordinary clansmen: three

Source Spirit Limit: 100 points

Source Spirit Recovery Speed: 4 points/day

Family output: None

Family assets: a mansion, thirty-five Source Stones, five hundred and seventy-two taels of silver, and several other small items.

With the addition of a member of the mortal class, the family's rank successfully rose from obscurity to that of a humble family.

Yuan Ling's recovery speed has also doubled, and he is now able to view detailed information about the family's assets.

All these changes demonstrate that as the rank increases, the functionality of the "Nameless Book" source will also be upgraded iteratively.

Overall, being brought out of the deep mountains by Chu Shengyuan and being able to form a bloodline contract with the Chu family was a pretty lucky start.

Chu Shengyuan is not only the Chu family's lucky star, but also his own.

……

Fuhe Village is relatively remote from the town, and Chu Shengfan is still a child, so he can't walk that long a distance.

So Chu Jingyu hired an oxcart in the village, hitched it to a wooden plank cart, and swayed along the rugged, muddy road toward the town.

We set off at about 10:30 in the morning, and by the time we arrived in town it was past noon.

Unlike ordinary rural farmers, Chu Jingyu had naturally witnessed scenes far more prosperous than those in towns.

Although Chu Shengfan didn't come to town often, he was well-educated and knew how to behave, so his face didn't show much emotion. His only excitement was for the source beast he was about to form a contract with.

After storing the oxcart, Chu Jingyu and Chu Shengfan, carrying two baskets—one large and one small—looked like ordinary herb farmers as they walked through the bustling streets of the town.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and various strangely shaped source beasts could be seen accompanying the richly dressed travelers.

A contract master, who is rare to find in a village, doesn't seem so unusual here.

That makes sense. Once you become a Contract Master and gain special abilities by relying on Source Beasts, you naturally have the status and position to buy property in town.

Chu Shengfan's gaze secretly swept over the strange source beasts, somewhat anticipating whether the source beasts he was about to meet would be furry or cold and hard like his grandfather's "Golden Jade Beast".

On the way here, his grandfather had already told him that he had chosen a source beast for him, but he had not given him any detailed information.

The two hadn't walked for long when they stopped in front of a pharmacy.

Chu Shengfan narrowed his eyes and recognized the words on the plaque.

"Yaoxintang"

The largest pharmacy in town, where my grandfather would send all the medicinal herbs he picked from the mountains.

Chu Shengfan subconsciously touched the basket on his back; this time it should be the same.

The two entered the pharmacy, and soon an apprentice recognized Chu Jingyu's face, warmly greeting him and reaching out to take the basket from his back.

"Grandpa Chu, you've arrived. What good herbs have you gathered this time?"

Chu Jingyu smiled and said, "Ming Jade Marrow, Hundred-Year-Old Bitter Vine Root."

Jadeite is something that only appears in jade mines, and it has the effect of supplementing the congenital deficiencies of some newborn source beasts during their recuperation.

The root of the century-old bitter vine is mild in nature and is an important auxiliary medicine used in the preparation of many medicinal solutions to neutralize the medicinal properties of different herbs.

Upon hearing his words, the apprentice's face showed a hint of surprise. "It has to be you, sir. Almost all the good medicines in our Yaoxintang are delivered by you."

There were relatively few people in the pharmacy at this time. The shopkeeper, who was standing behind the counter, also saw Chu Jingyu and walked over. He reached out and gently tapped the apprentice's head with his finger.

Then, looking at Chu Jingyu somewhat apologetically, he said:

"Old sir, why bother delivering it personally every time? Just keep the herbs safe and have our apprentices make the trip once a month."

"The village is remote and far away, why make things difficult for those apprentices? It's good for my health to travel more."

Chu Jingyu took down the smaller basket that Chu Shengfan was carrying on his back, and then changed the subject, "Actually, I have another matter to trouble Manager Qin with. I wonder if your boss is here today?"

Manager Qin paused, glanced at the silent Chu Shengfan, a knowing look flashing in his eyes, then nodded.

"I'll go and inform them for you right away."

Chu Jingyu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Manager Qin."

The boy, being perceptive, served them tea. Chu Shengfan had indeed been quite thirsty on the journey, and he drank several cups in succession.

Not long after, Manager Qin returned, cupped his hands in a respectful greeting to Chu Jingyu.

"The host invites you in from the backyard."

Chu Shengfan followed Chu Jingyu through the back door of "Yaoxintang" and arrived in another world.

The courtyard walls were even taller and sturdier than those of the Chu family, and the patterns painted on the eaves and beams were a rare sight in the town.

Even though Chu Shengfan felt the courtyard was spotless, there were still maids quietly sweeping and wiping it.

Chu Shengfan suddenly realized that this was the true appearance of a grand mansion, and his own courtyard seemed to pale in comparison.

The boy's eyes held amazement, but not inferiority. Having just awakened his spiritual power, he was now brimming with ambition, determined to build his clan into a place no less impressive than this courtyard.

Upon entering the main hall, amidst a tranquil fragrance, Chu Shengfan saw an elderly man with half-gray and half-white hair, who appeared to possess an air of otherworldly grace.

"Brother Chu, it's been a long time since you last visited. We should catch up properly this time."

After entering, Chu Jingyu naturally cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Brother Sun, I will gladly comply."

Sun Chunchen saw Chu Shengfan following behind Chu Jingyu with bright eyes and asked curiously,

"Who is this little guy?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jingyu patted Chu Shengfan's head. "Chu Shengfan, the eldest grandson in the family. Come here, this is the owner of Yaoxintang. You can call him Grandpa Sun."

Chu Shengfan fixed his gaze on Sun Chunchen and said, "Hello, Grandpa Sun."

Staring intently at by such a little fellow, Sun Chunchen laughed heartily twice and took out a piece of lustrous jade from his pocket.

"Since you call me Grandpa, here's a piece of white jade as a gift."

Chu Shengfan did not take the beautifully colored jade, but instead looked at Chu Jingyu, silently questioning him with his eyes.

Chu Jingyu nodded. "Since it was given to you by your grandfather, you may accept it."

Chu Shengfan then accepted the gift with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa Sun."

Just as he handed over the jade, Sun Chunchen turned to look at Chu Jingyu, "This little guy has just awakened his spiritual power, does he have a contracted source beast?"

Chu Shengfan wondered what the identity and rank of the grandfather in front of him was, yet he could see his current state just by looking at him.

However, Chu Jingyu was not surprised at all, and simply nodded, "Not yet. That's why I rushed over here to see if you have anything suitable."

Sun Chunchen glanced at Chu Shengfan again, then hesitated before speaking to Chu Jingyu:

"Have you asked the little guy's opinion? This age is when he is very competitive, so contracting a medicinal beast is probably not very suitable. It would be difficult to make up for it once his temperament is damaged."

If you don't have any other connections, any of the three families in town who own beasts you fancy, just tell them their names, and I can get a few for you."
