Chapter 9: Refining the Natal Beast

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I have the same intention. Deduct my contribution points according to their value.” Chen Yang was very satisfied with this Mystic Wind Wolf, so he did not refuse.

“There’s no need. According to the rules, there’s no need to deduct contribution points to refine your natal beast.” The Ninth Elder waved his hand.

Hearing the Ninth Elder’s words, Chen Yang did not hesitate and brought the Mystic Wind Wolf back to his courtyard.

…

“You’re all dismissed.”

After dispersing the others, Chen Yang opened the iron cage door, and the Mystic Wind Wolf walked out step by step.

Then, it lay quietly in front of Chen Yang.

Sometimes, Chen Yang was also a little curious. Why were the demon beasts raised by his family so acquiescent?

Thinking about it, it must be due to the Ninth Elder.

Back to business.

Looking at the Mystic Wind Wolf in satisfaction, Chen Yang activated his spiritual energy and used his right finger as a blade to cut the center of his left hand.

A drop of blood essence was forced out of Chen Yang’s body.

Immediately, Chen Yang’s right index finger held this drop of blood essence and pressed it on the forehead of the Mystic Wind Wolf.

“By my blood, I swear the oath of heaven and earth. Will you submit?”

No matter which cultivation technique it was for natal beasts, the basic essence was to communicate with the world and make an oath with demon beasts.

The demon beasts could refuse of course. After all, if their master died, their natal beasts could not survive either.

Chen Yang naturally respected the Mystic Wind Wolf’s choice and looked at it very kindly.

After the Mystic Wind Wolf agreed to become his natal beast, Chen Yang dispersed the terrifying spiritual energy gathered in his right hand and touched the Mystic Wind Wolf’s forehead.

My Chen family’s demon beasts are still more sensible.

With the help of his natal beast, Chen Yang’s personal strength had also increased significantly.

Natal beasts were not like ordinary beasts. Although ordinary beasts could also be controlled by others, there was still a possibility of rebellion.

But natal beasts were different. No matter what their master did, natal beasts could not rebel.

Since his natal beast was so special, he naturally could not refine it too much.

According to the ancient records of the Beast Taming Sect, one could only refine one natal beast, while opening meridians was two…

With every major increase in realm, the number of natal beasts that could be refined increased by one.

This was the rule of this world. No matter how powerful a cultivation technique was, it could not be violated.

Of course,there was no such restriction on ordinary beasts.

If Chen Yang was willing, he could use the Ten Thousand Beast Technique to refine as many ordinary beasts as he wanted.

“Mystic Wind Wolf, you will cultivate in my courtyard. There will be people bringing you food every day. Don’t attack them.”

The Mystic Wind Wolf nodded. Although its intelligence was not high, it could still understand this basic need for food .

Seeing that the Mystic Wind Wolf was so sensible, Chen Yang was relieved to leave the Mystic Wind Wolf in the courtyard and deal with the other matters of the family.

The Mystic Wind Wolf’s current strength was only at the mid-First Realm and could not help Chen Yang much. It was better to raise it here and wait for the Dao Integration Bead to accumulate enough energy before helping the Mystic Wind Wolf increase its strength.

In the following days, Chen Yang did not encounter any major events. He basically dealt with the family matters in the morning and cultivated in the afternoon.

This went on for half a month.

Half a month later, in the afternoon, when Chen Yang was cultivating in the courtyard, a seven-year-old child stumbled in.

“Seventh Uncle, Grandpa invites you over.”

“Oh, it’s Mingde. You said that your grandfather invited me over. Has the First Elder come out of seclusion?” Chen Yang picked up the child and asked with a smile.

This child was the grandson of the First Elder and also the son of the eldest son of Chen Yang’s generation.

Starting from the next generation, the Chen family decided on the generational name.

This Chen Mingde was the eldest of the Ming generation.

In the past, because the Chen family had only become a ninth-grade aristocratic family not long ago, there had never been any generational name. Now that the Chen family had more and more direct descendants, they naturally had to establish a seniority.

As for the collateral relatives, that didn’t matter.

“Yes, Seventh Uncle. You’d better hurry.” Chen Mingde’s little head nodded slowly.

“Good. Seventh Uncle will be right there.”

After kissing Chen Mingde’s chubby little face, Chen Yang quickly rushed to the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, Chen Xuan, who had broken through to the Genesis Realm and become the patriarch of the Chen family, was feeling extremely comfortable.

After more than a month of seclusion, Chen Xuan did not disappoint the family’s expectations and successfully broke through to the Genesis Realm.

Although he was only at the first level of the Genesis Realm, he could still give the Chen family a shot in the arm.

At the very least, even if the Beastmaster Sect did not stop them, the Gongsun family would not dare to attack the Chen family. At most, they would just harass them.

“Congratulations, First Elder. No, I should call you Patriarch Chen Xuan now.”

Chen Xuan was feeling smug when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He immediately jumped down from his chair and quickly put on a smile.

“Family Head, you’re flattering me. It’s fine if it’s others, but why are you calling me Patriarch? I think you should call me First Elder.”

Chen Xuan quickly led Chen Yang to the main seat. He did not have the airs of a Genesis Patriarch at all.

After Chen Yang sat down, he waved his hand and gestured for the other elders to sit down. “This time, the First Elder has broken through to the Genesis Realm. Naturally, congratulations.”

“Second Elder, pass down the order to send invitations to all the ninth-grade aristocratic families in Nanyang County. Tell them that my Chen family wants to hold a Genesis Feast.”

“Yes!” Chen Meng nodded.

However, Chen Xuan was a little hesitant. “Family Head, isn’t it a little too ostentatious?”

“What do you mean ostentatious? We just gave the Beastmaster Sect such a big gift. At the very least, no family will dare to provoke us in the past ten years.”

“Now that we’re holding the Genesis Feast, not only will it not be ostentatious, but it will also make the other families even more afraid of us. It will also be quite beneficial to our business.”

Seeing that Chen Yang had already made his decision, Chen Xuan did not say anything else.

“The matter of the Genesis Feast has been settled. Elders, is there anything else?” Chen Yang asked.

The other elders looked at each other. In the end, it was Chen Meng who stood up from his chair. “Family Head, the new year is in a month.”

“According to the past, the family head needs to inspect the family business so that he can arrange the cultivation resources for the family members next year.”

“The New Year is coming…”

Chen Yang was looking forward to the New Year in this world.

“Then there’s no time like the present. After the meeting, Second Elder and I will check on the family’s business.”

“Family Head, are we still holding the annual hunt?” The Second Elder asked another question.

Hunting at the end of the year was a special day for Jiangzhou families and sects.

Jiangzhou was located at the border of the Great Qian Dynasty, close to the Endless Mountains. The Endless Mountains were filled with a huge number of demon beasts.

In order to ensure the safety of the people, the major families and sects would regularly conduct a clean up to ensure the safety of Jiangzhou.

“Things are different now. Let’s cancel the hunt this year.” Chen Yang thought about it and decided to cancel the hunt this year.
