Chapter 95 The Patriarch Knows Me

After the members of the Bandit Suppression Squad were selected, Xu Qingzhou called Xu Chu over again.

Logically, as the Heavenly Chosen, he should have been among the first to be selected, just like Xu Muge and Xu Luo.

But considering his low cultivation, Xu Qingzhou placed him last.

The weakest member of the Bandit Suppression Squad was already in the Naling Realm (Middle Stage), while Xu Chu, as the Heavenly Chosen, was still only in the Qi Gathering Realm (Late Stage).

This cultivation speed was truly quite slow.

The treasures and Cultivation Techniques before him were mostly for Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators, and there weren't many suitable for Xu Chu.

Xu Chu, overwhelmed by the choices, looked at one item after another, unable to decide.

"Clan Leader, these Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills are too powerful; I can't Cultivate them now."

Xu Qingzhou casually said, "It's fine, you can write them down first and Cultivate them when your Realm is high enough."

If anyone else were to give Xu Chu so many treasures, Xu Chu would not only refuse them but also suspect the other party.

After all, showing excessive courtesy without reason usually means there's a hidden agenda.

However, he wouldn't doubt Xu Qingzhou's words.

Since their first meeting, Xu Qingzhou had given him a large amount of cultivation resources every so often, more than what Xu Yan and the others received, so much that Xu Chu couldn't even use it all.

Seeing that Xu Chu had only chosen one item after a long time, Xu Qingzhou personally helped him choose.

"This jade pendant records a stealth secret technique, and there's also a Earth-grade movement technique. Do you want them?"

The Qingshan Three Bandits relied on this secret technique to evade the search of numerous Cultivators for several months.

As long as the Cultivators' cultivation wasn't significantly higher than theirs, or they hadn't specifically cultivated a technique to see through illusions, they couldn't be exposed.

This secret technique is definitely a must-have for those who prefer to stay hidden.

And this movement technique is essential for escaping—no, it should be called strategic withdrawal.

Xu Chu, who was so good at staying hidden that even Xu Qingzhou was speechless, immediately brightened up upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! Thank you, Clan Leader!"

【I really like this kind of secret technique! The Clan Leader knows me best!!】

Finally, Xu Qingzhou selected a life-saving trump card for him, and Xu Chu happily left.

Xu Qingzhou put away the remaining treasures and summoned the seven Other Elders for a meeting.

The seven Other Elders had all broken through to the Xuan Dan Realm, with the Great Elder and Second Elder even reaching the Xuan Dan Realm (Late Stage), the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Elders in the Xuan Dan (Middle Stage), and the Sixth and Seventh Elders in the Xuan Dan Realm (Early Stage).

After their strength and talent improved, the Other Elders' spirits and energy were also different.

Unfortunately, they spent most of their time managing Family affairs and couldn't go out and fight every day like the Bandit Suppression Squad.

Therefore, they wouldn't be able to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm in the short term.

It would take several years of development for the Xu Family to rise from a fourth-rate force to a third-rate force.

After the Other Elders were all present, Xu Qingzhou cleared his throat twice.

"Everyone, the Qingshan Three Bandits have been killed by us, and I have obtained all their wealth."

His words were astonishing, startling the seven individuals, who all froze there, unable to react for a moment.

"What? The Qingshan Three Bandits were killed by you?"

"Are you sure it was the Qingshan Three Bandits who were pursued and intercepted by many powerful forces for half a year, and not just three bandits from Qingshan?"

"Did the Clan Leader's wife make a move?"

Hearing the Third Elder's words, they instantly understood.

They all knew that the Qingshan Three Bandits were in the Purple Mansion Realm, and Xu Qingzhou, who had just broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm not long ago, was definitely not their opponent, but if Su Xinyan made a move, there would be no problem at all.

Xu Qingzhou waved his hand.

"Let's not discuss these useless things. The main point I want to make is about the inheritance of a powerful individual that the Qingshan Three Bandits obtained earlier."

"It records a unique method for raising Spirit Beasts. I have already read the Jade Slip. If we raise Spirit Beasts according to the method recorded on it, we can greatly shorten the growth time of the Spirit Beasts."

"This means that by relying on this method, our Xu Family can develop the Spirit Beast raising industry."

The Jade Slip recorded many specially made Spirit Beast feeds, as well as various Spirit Beast raising techniques, and even Formations suitable for arranging in Spirit Beast habitats.

If the normal raising period for an ordinary Spirit Beast is five years, then using the raising method in the Jade Slip, it would only take one year.

This means that a large amount of cost can be reduced, and profits can be increased.

After listening, the seven Other Elders immediately showed joyful expressions and were extremely excited.

"There is such a wonderful method?!"

"Great! This is exactly what our Xu Family needs right now!!"

"Clan Leader, I want to know what the difference is between Spirit Beasts raised using this method and those raised normally?"

The Great Elder's question was very crucial, and the Other Elders also came back to their senses.

Yes, everything has its pros and cons.

Cultivators and Spirit Beasts are the same; rushing their growth leads to endless troubles.

If there are problems with the Spirit Beasts raised this way, it will not only fail to earn Spirit Stones for the Xu Family but will also be counterproductive.

Xu Qingzhou explained, "Other Elders, please rest assured about this. Although there is a difference between the two, it is not significant."

"Take the most common Crimson Beaked Chicken as an example. The Crimson Beaked Chicken raised using this method may be slightly inferior in meat quality and taste, but it's only a little. We can just sell it at a lower price then."

This is similar to the difference between free-range chickens and farmed chickens in his previous life.

There was a difference, but it wasn't that big.

Upon hearing this, the Other Elders breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just like this, then it was completely acceptable.

The Great Elder asked again, "Are there any restrictions on this raising method?"

"Of course there are."

Xu Qingzhou replied, "It can only be used to raise the most ordinary and weakest Spirit Beasts. It won't work for slightly stronger ones."

If any Spirit Beast could have its growth time shortened, the value of this method would be immeasurable, and even the Great Qi Dynasty or forces more powerful than the Great Qi Dynasty would come to snatch it.

The Great Elder nodded, stroking his beard lightly.

"The more ordinary the Spirit Beast, the greater the demand, the stable the price, and the low raising cost. It is very suitable for the current Xu Family."

Taking the Crimson Beaked Chicken, the most common Spirit Beast, as an example, a wild Crimson Beaked Chicken's strength is equivalent to that of a Qi Refining Realm Cultivator.

Because of its excellent taste and rich spiritual energy, it has become a staple food for many low-level Cultivators.

Innumerable Crimson Beaked Chickens are killed and made into delicious food every day in the large and small eateries and restaurants in Lingyue City.

Many small forces raise Spirit Beasts like Crimson Beaked Chickens to earn Spirit Stones.

Besides Crimson Beaked Chickens, there are also Black Skinned Pigs and Unicorny Sheep, which are common ingredients on the tables of ordinary Cultivators.

These all have stable prices, high demand, and can be raised with confidence.

In the future, when the Xu Family has accumulated enough experience in raising Spirit Beasts, they can also raise some precious and rare Spirit Beasts and enter a larger market.

After Xu Qingzhou finished arranging the work, the Other Elders began to take action.

This mainly included selecting suitable breeding bases, choosing Spirit Beast younglings, researching and learning raising methods, and so on.
