Chapter 96 Xu Family Breeding Base

After Lu Qingqiu used the Teleportation Talisman to escape, she didn't look back and ran all the way back to Yuhe City.

After recuperating for some time and her injuries had completely healed, she then went to Great Qi Academy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered Great Qi Academy, she ran into Song Bufan.

Lu Qingqiu was startled and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Senior Brother Song, you're alright too, that's great."

Song Bufan glanced at her and left without saying a word.

Lu Qingqiu stood frozen in place, her face full of disbelief.

One should know that she rarely took the initiative to greet Song Bufan before; it was always Song Bufan who saw her and came over to speak first.

Now that she took the initiative, he actually ignored her. This was simply outrageous.

This left Lu Qingqiu confused.

Especially Song Bufan's gaze just now, it was like looking at a stranger, and there was a hint of gloom on his face that wasn't there before.

Meeting his gaze gave Lu Qingqiu a chilling feeling.

"What's wrong with him? Did someone make him angry?"

Lu Qingqiu scoffed.

"Forget it, who cares about him. Anyway, he'll come looking for me again in a few days."

It had always been this way in the past; no matter who was right or wrong between them, it was always Song Bufan who would lower his head and seek her out first.

Unfortunately, this time was different.

After seeing Lu Qingqiu's heartlessness, Song Bufan realized that all his previous efforts were just a joke.

Coupled with his near-death experience, he understood that in this world, only strength was the fundamental basis.

So, he decided to no longer pay attention to Lu Qingqiu and focus on improving his strength regardless of the consequences.

It was fortunate that they met in Great Qi Academy this time. If it had been in the wilderness, Song Bufan might have directly killed Lu Qingqiu, that slut who wasted one of his Teleportation Talismans.

A few more days passed.

Lu Qingqiu started to panic, because Song Bufan still hadn't come to find her, and every time they met during this period, Song Bufan acted like a stranger. One time, he even showed her killing intent.

Lu Qingqiu couldn't figure out what was going on.

Due to her pride, she was unwilling to proactively ask Song Bufan.

Just like that, the two who used to be almost inseparable completely went their separate ways.

Song Bufan spent most of his time cultivating. After breaking up with Lu Qingqiu, he no longer had to provide her with cultivation resources, and his own cultivation speed increased significantly.

As for Lu Qingqiu, lacking Song Bufan's financial support, her cultivation progress became even slower, given her already mediocre Aptitude.

Not only did she not realize her mistake, but she often inwardly blamed Song Bufan.

…..

About fifty li east of Chaoxia Peak, there is a small hill over five hundred zhang high, named Little East Mountain. The mountain is covered in green trees, lush flowers and plants, and abundant spiritual energy.

The Xu Family spent a large sum of money to rent Little East Mountain, planning to use it as a place for raising spiritual beasts in the future.

The spiritual beast breeding business is very important to the Xu Family. Xu Qingzhou specifically arranged for the Second Elder to be in charge, and he would also be stationed here from now on.

After renting Little East Mountain, the Second Elder arranged for people to start setting up Formations, while he personally went to Wanbao Pavilion to purchase various necessary items.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

At first, this action by the Xu Family attracted the attention of some forces in the city, but later, when they found out the Xu Family only planned to develop a spiritual beast breeding business, no one paid any more attention.

The business of breeding spiritual beasts is usually undertaken by small forces who raise weak, edible spiritual beasts to earn spiritual stones.

Or by large forces like Lingyue Sect and Tai Xu Sect, who have enough time and Disciples and Elders to spend a lot of treasures cultivating rare and exotic beasts with various abilities.

The spiritual beast breeding market is vast, and everyone raises their own, with hardly any overlap.

After several months of hard work.

The Xu Family's breeding base on Little East Mountain was completed and began operations.

Clan Leader Xu Qingzhou personally went to inspect the work.

After leaving home, he followed the Bailu River eastwards and quickly arrived at Little East Mountain.

Looking from afar, Little East Mountain was shrouded in layers of white mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

This was because an illusion Formation was set up around the mountain, which ordinary Cultivators could not see through.

The Second Elder was about to leave to run an errand when he saw Xu Qingzhou drifting down the river on a bamboo raft.

"Clan Leader, why have you come?"

Xu Qingzhou replied, "I just came to take a look around."

"Alright, I'll show you around," the Second Elder respectfully said.

The two of them went up the mountain together, and the Second Elder introduced things as they walked.

The vast Little East Mountain was divided into five areas by Formations, each raising different spiritual beasts.

There were red-beaked chickens whose meat and eggs could both be eaten, black-skinned pigs weighing seven or eight hundred jin, and single-horned sheep with delicious meat.

There was also a fish pond where three types of spiritual fish that could be mixed were raised.

These are all common spiritual beasts on the dining table, and the market is large.

The Second Elder said, "This last empty area hasn't found a suitable spiritual beast to raise yet. It's mainly because there's only so much space left, so we want to choose cautiously."

Xu Qingzhou nodded in agreement.

"Thinking that way is correct. The ones before were all cheap, low-cost spiritual beasts. The last area should at least have something a bit more expensive to lay the foundation for raising high-level spiritual beasts in the future."

Raising spiritual beasts is similar to alchemy, artifact refining, Formations, and talismans; they all follow the same path. Start with the simplest, and after mastering certain skills and becoming proficient, gradually upgrade.

"Yes, we can't always raise these cheap goods," the Second Elder replied.

Spiritual beast breeding is a sustainable industry. Even if the Xu Family becomes the overlord of the Great Qi Dynasty or even this world in the future, they can still raise spiritual beasts.

It's just that by then, they might be raising Divine Beasts or even Immortal Beasts.

After taking a big tour around Little East Mountain, Xu Qingzhou returned home.

He had decided to eat hot pot before he left, and by now, Su Xinyan had already prepared the ingredients they wanted to eat.

They ate hot pot and hummed songs.

Su Xinyan said, "I think after the spiritual beast breeding business stabilizes, the Xu Family can tentatively open an eatery or a restaurant."

"How so?" Xu Qingzhou asked casually.

Su Xinyan pointed to the ingredients on the table in front of them.

"Regarding food, you've researched so much. There are some seasonings and cooking methods that aren't available in the outside world. I think if we open an eatery with them, the business shouldn't be too bad."

Xu Qingzhou nodded in agreement, "That's right. In a few years, after the spiritual beast breeding business stabilizes, we'll try opening a restaurant first."

The seasonings were developed and prepared by himself, and the ingredients were spiritual beasts raised on his own mountain. There was no need to worry about food safety issues.

Before opening the restaurant, they could also find ways to purchase and find some spiritual wine. Then they could earn spiritual stones from both food and drinks.

The more he thought about it, the clearer the direction of the Xu Family's development seemed.

After eating and drinking to his fill, Xu Qingzhou played some entertainment activities with Su Xinyan, and at night they made a baby. He was like this almost every day, with work and entertainment, feeling very fulfilled.

Low EQ: Xu Qingzhou eats, drinks, and plays for eleven hours every day.

High EQ: As the Clan Leader, Xu Qingzhou still maintains the habit of working for one hour every day.
