Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

```

That day, Qin Feng arrived at Luofeng Cliff, the highest point of Qifeng Mountain, accompanied by the Old Family Master, Qin Yang, and several clan members.

"What dense Spiritual Energy!"

Qin Yang exclaimed in amazement.

Qin Feng nodded, "Beneath this mountain peak lies a medium Spirit Vein, so the Spiritual Energy is indeed quite good."

Below the cliff, the giant willow tree saw Qin Feng and hastily pulled its roots from the ground, transforming into a tree person. It started striding over with its long legs.

"There's a Demon Monster!"

A few Qi Refining Realm clan members were startled.

"Don't panic,"

Qin Feng said with a smile, "This is the Mountain Guardian Elder that I subdued for our family."

"Mountain Guardian Elder?"

Qin Guanbao was also slightly taken aback.

"That's right."

Qin Feng nodded, "This willow tree, having transformed into a demon, is quite strong, having reached the Peak of Demon Core. Tree Demons, being a type of Demon Clan born from plants, usually have a much longer lifespan than ordinary demons. This Tree Demon has survived for thousands of years and has accumulated substantial strength. In terms of power, it's not inferior to an ordinary Purple Mansion Cultivator.

Moreover, this fellow might even advance to the Purple Mansion Realm. Rather than waiting for it to reach a higher Cultivation Realm in the future and then awarding it a grand title, it's better to start respecting it from now. This will encourage it to contribute more, and it's much better than waiting for it to advance to the Purple Mansion Realm before elevating its status with the title of an Elder."

"Can it really advance?"

Curious, Qin Guanbao watched the huge Tree Demon swiftly climbing and jumping up the mountain.

"Hmm, it depends on its chances,"

Qin Feng said, "In fact, its accumulation is already sufficient. However, as a plant become demon, it faces many natural limitations. Without a special opportunity, understanding the Power of Laws often requires enduring through long years.

But now that I have subdued it, and it's essentially our family's enforcer, we could impart the Sect techniques used to train plant-type demons to it, which should enable it to advance in not too many years."

"It won't rebel after advancing, will it?"

"Grandfather Ji need not worry, it won't. Even if it advances to the Purple Mansion or becomes a Primordial Spirit, it won't escape my control."

"That's good."

Qin Guanbao relaxed, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, "If it can really advance, that would be great. That means our family will have a Purple Mansion Cultivator for protection in the future. This firmly puts us in the league of great clans!

The Fan Family of Anshan, the Gao Family of Siping, and a few other families, are all eager to attach themselves to our family. Yet, they look down on ordinary clan members. They only have eyes for Qin Yang, intent on marrying their daughters to your father, but I have never agreed.

Just wait until this Tree Demon advances to the Purple Mansion; heh, by then, they won't even have a chance to approach Qin Yang.

When you weren't back with the family, their strengths were still above ours. They knew of your promising future, and they had the opportunity to form matrimonial ties with our family, but they acted reserved, thinking they had some strength.

But now, with these Spiritual Beasts you've left with the family, our family's strength has already surpassed theirs. Once the Tree Demon advances, it will be out of their league. Then, there will be Female Cultivators with higher Cultivation and greater potential willing to become Daoist Companions with Qin Yang. There will be time for them to regret."

Qin Feng was startled, "They... want to marry my father?"

"Eh? You didn't know?"

Qin Guanbao paused, "Didn't your father tell you about this?"

"No, he didn't. Could it be that my father forgot about this matter?"

Qin Feng scratched his head, thinking it was indeed possible.

After all, his own father's temperament is quite different from that of the Old Family Master here. Normally engrossed in Cultivation, even though his Divine Soul was damaged, besides taking care of himself, he mostly spent his time cultivating and seemed to have little interest in women.

"Did my father ever tell you the words to reject them?"

"Yes, he mentioned it once."

```

"That's settled then."

Qin Feng nodded, "Given my father's temperament, having already declined, he wouldn't dwell on it, and I reckon he's probably forgotten about it entirely. Why would he even mention it to me?

However, those families are somewhat intriguing, even thinking about finding me a stepmother. Couldn't they consider whether I'd be happy with that? Aren't they afraid I might make trouble for them?"

"I was worried it would upset you, so I didn't agree."

Qin Guanbao carefully observed Qin Feng's expression and asked, "Should I subtly cause them some trouble?"

"No need, am I that petty?"

Qin Feng shook his head with a smile, "Actually, I'm quite open-minded. My father has taken care of me alone all these years, raising me from a child wasn't easy. If he could really find a woman he shares a true bond with to become his Daoist companion, that would be a good thing. Why would I oppose it?

After all, I'll be spending most of my time at the mountain gate in the future and won't always be able to be with my father to show my filial piety. I also think my father should find a kindred Daoist companion, so he doesn't shut himself away in the cultivation room all day, which would be terribly dull.

However, such matters should depend on fate. It's unnecessary to have a marriage alliance with other families, much less elevate those women from prominent families who wish to latch onto our family to the status of my stepmother. It's best to let my father decide on his own."

Qin Guanbao nodded, "Alright, I understand."

"Master."

At this moment, the Tree Demon hurried from the foot of the mountain, covering seven or eight zhang in a single step, and quickly arrived in front of Qin Feng.

"Ah, you're just in time. Let me introduce you—this is the Old Family Master of our Qin Family, and that is Qin Yang, my cousin."

Qin Feng introduced the family members to the Tree Demon and then pointed to the Tree Demon, "This is the Mountain Guardian Elder I've arranged for our family, who usually protects the safety of the family members on Qifeng Mountain."

"It's an honor to meet you, Tree Elder."

Qin Yang, ever clever, greeted the Tree Demon with a bow, being exceptionally polite.

After all, this Tree Demon had been alive for thousands of years, significantly older than the ancestor who first settled our family in Kun City—calling him Tree Elder was fitting, and it was a title the Tree Demon found more satisfying to hear than Mountain Guardian Elder.

The Tree Demon was quite pleased with the way Qin Yang addressed him, feeling respected and that the Qin Family did not regard it as a mere servant. This satisfaction filled its elderly visage with a smile, "Good, good, good. If you need anything, feel free to come to me. Ah, even if there's nothing in particular, you can still come and talk to me. I've lived alone in the mountains for too long. If you don't mind my company, feel free to visit and chat."

"I see Tree Elder likes having company; that's great. Our Qin Family will be relocating many family members here, so there won't be a shortage of people to keep Tree Elder company."

Seeing Qin Yang getting along well with the Tree Demon, Qin Feng did not intervene much and turned to speak to the Old Family Master, "This is the most abundant in spiritual energy on the entire Qifeng Mountain and the most suitable place for cultivation. I plan to build a new cultivation residence here for the family. From now on, this will be our family's foundational location."

"That's not a problem, you take care of it."

Qin Guanbao gave the Willow Tree Demon a glance and nodded inwardly. With such a formidable Tree Demon guarding here, it was the safest place in the mountains, so he naturally had no objections.

"However, how do you plan to do it? Are we calling family members to gather materials ourselves and build it, or are we hiring cultivators from Tieling County's market to come and construct it?"

"Grandpa, don't worry about this matter. When I sent a message back to request Sect members to come and survey the mining veins, I also invited disciples from within the Sect who specialize in constructing various buildings. With their help, we'll definitely have an excellent place for cultivation, much better than if we were to build it ourselves.

Once the mansion is built, you and my father can cultivate on the medium Spirit Vein, which will greatly benefit your breakthroughs. And after becoming a Golden Core, you wouldn't lack the spiritual energy needed for cultivation. As for the family's small Spirit Vein, it really isn't sufficient to support the daily cultivation of a Golden Core cultivator."

Hearing him say this, Qin Guanbao was immediately relieved.

Otherwise, if the Qin Clan members had to do it themselves, at most they could construct a mansion similar to their ancestral home. While that sort of mansion would be fine on the outskirts of Kun City, building one in such an abundant spiritual energy area would be somewhat unsuitable.

In the cultivation world, truly great buildings, like the pavilions, towers, caves, and palaces of various sects, are all equipped with Array Formation Restrictions. They not only have a strong defensive capability but also gather spiritual energy to suppress the Spirit Veins, making them truly blessed places for cultivation.

Even ordinary prominent families, like the Zhao Family from Tieling or the Gao Family from Anshan, have special materials built into their residences and equipped with arranged arrays.

If the Qin Family could have a mansion like the Zhao Family's, the mansion itself would possess considerable defensive capabilities, and facing seven or eight Golden Core cultivators attacking them would be no concern at all.

"Several days have already passed, and the people sent by the Sect should almost be here. I'd like my cousin to get familiar with the surrounding area first with a few family members. When the people arrive, let him handle the day-to-day interactions."

"Alright, you arrange it."

Now the Old Family Master had boundless trust in Qin Feng. As long as Qin Feng wasn't planning on selling off the family, he had no objections to whatever he suggested.

In fact, Qin Feng didn't have to wait long; the next day, an apparent marker appeared in the sky in the distance—a tower ship flown by a giant beast.

Clearly, without asking, it must be the cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect who had arrived.

Qin Feng hurriedly controlled the White Dragon to greet him when he saw him.

As soon as he landed on the tower ship, before he could speak, he heard a loud laugh from ahead, "Nephew Qin, congratulations, congratulations!"

On the deck, Purple Mansion Elder Chao Jinque, responsible for construction affairs in the Internal Affairs Hall, had a beaming smile as he approached Qin Feng with unmatched enthusiasm to offer his congratulations.

"Uh?"

Qin Feng was stunned and looked at Chao Jinque in surprise, "I didn't expect the sect to send Martial Uncle Chao personally. I apologize for not greeting you from afar. Please forgive me.

But Martial Uncle, my Qin Family only discovered a Red Copper Vein. Even if congratulations are in order, there's no need for such a grand gesture, right?"

This guy, his smile was almost stretching to his ears. Seriously?

Could it be that he personally made this trip to get a share of my Qin Family's vein?

I haven't heard of such a rule in the sect!

"Ha ha, seeing Nephew Qin's expression, I know you haven't received the news yet."

Chao Jinque enthusiastically grabbed Qin Feng's hand, causing Qin Feng to feel a shudder of goosebumps.

If it weren't for needing this guy's help to survey the vein, build a new mansion for the Qin Family, and set up the Protective Mansion Array, he would have avoided him as far as possible.

What is wrong with him, an old man whose wrinkles on his face resemble a blooming daisy and grabbing one's hand all of a sudden? Does he have some peculiar hobby?

I've never heard such rumors in the sect.

Qin Feng silently sighed to himself and discreetly pulled his clean, white hand from the old man's clutch, squeezing out a smile, "What news? Has the sect completely conquered the Red Flame Demon Realm in such a short time?"

"That's not it."

Chao Jinque, oblivious to Qin Feng's reaction, excitedly said, "Your master has become an immortal."

"Ah?"

Qin Feng was momentarily stunned, "So quickly?"

"Ha ha, I knew you would be surprised to hear it."

Chao Jinque laughed, "How about it, quite unexpected, isn't it?"

"He truly became an immortal, this… this is really wonderful."

Qin Feng excitedly walked around in circles, "It seems I must return to the sect soon to congratulate Master."

"There's no need for that."

Chao Jinque waved his hand, "It's not that I'm stopping you from seeing your master, but after your master passed the Heavenly Tribulation, he soon went to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven to meditate, saying he needed to stabilize his realm and enhance his Dao cultivation. So, if you go back now, you won't be able to see him."

"I see, thank you for letting me know, Martial Uncle."

"Ha ha, what's there to thank?"

Chao Jinque stood on the deck of the tower ship, looking around, "So this is the Qin Family's residence, huh? The scenery is pretty nice."

He had high standards, being one of the Elders responsible for constructing various buildings in the sect and having seen all kinds of terrains, it really meant something for him to say the scenery was nice.

Of course, in his eyes, it was only the scenery that was decent, other aspects were far inferior.

For instance, the Spirit Vein was merely mediocre, and even among the mediocre ones, it wasn't outstanding. This was still Qifeng Mountain's largest vein. As for the other two veins originally occupied by the White Crane and the Pangolin Demon Beast, they were even poorer, just ordinary mediocre veins.

Qin Feng bowed, "I plan to build a mansion on Luofeng Cliff as a place for our clan members to cultivate. I must ask Martial Uncle to take special care.

As for that Red Copper Vein, it's located in a valley a hundred miles away, and Martial Uncle can send someone to investigate at any time."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Chao Jinque took on the full responsibility, patting his chest with a smack, "I've devoted most of my life to construction, and I will definitely build a mansion that will satisfy you."

"Then I'll leave it to Martial Uncle Chao and the other fellow sect members."

During their conversation, the tower ship had already landed on Luofeng Cliff.

Indeed, as an Elder specifically responsible for construction in the Beast Taming Sect, Chao Jinque did not disappoint. After merely looking around Luofeng Cliff and flying around Qifeng Mountain, he quickly made up his mind. In just one day, he had drawn up architectural blueprints that best suited the land's spirit vein and also listed all the materials needed, handing them over to Qin Feng.

"Do you want to buy these materials from the market, or get them from the sect? I suggest you get them from the sect. Buying them from the market will not only cost more spirit stones but many of those special materials might not even be available.

On the other hand, considering your status as a True Disciple and your past achievements, getting these building materials from the sect will save a lot of money, and I, your uncle, can also make the mansion even stronger."

Chao Jinque chuckled, "Of course, if you really don't want to spend the spirit stones, you can also use your merits to offset the cost. With your merits, the sect will definitely send you the best building materials.

Hmm, I reckon you could even get a palace that has been refined into a magical treasure if you wanted, how about that? Why not directly exchange for a palace from the Internal Affairs Hall? I guarantee I'll pick one that satisfies you."

"No."

Qin Feng quickly shook his head, "I can afford the mere spirit stones, there's no need to tap into my merits. Besides, the Qin Family is just a small cultivator family, and building a mansion here in this land with only a medium spirit vein is sufficient. What do we need a palace for?

Being too ostentatious could only invite disaster to our family.

Since uncle mentioned that the materials from the sect are better, please arrange for the sect to transport the materials over. How many spirit stones are needed, just let me know."

"Alright then."

Chao Jinque nodded regretfully, "I thought I could cheat some merits out of you, but it seems that's not going to happen.

Well, I'll send a message back right now, and have the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion deliver the items as fast as possible, it won't take many days.

It's a good opportunity during this period to finish exploring the ore vein, and I can also guide the other two spirit veins in these mountains to you, making the spiritual energy at Luofeng Cliff even richer."

"Oh?"

Qin Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Uncle has the ability to guide spirit veins? That's great, thank you so much, uncle."

"With my cultivation, I can only temporarily guide them here, but afterward, we'll still need to build the mansion and set up an array to suppress them. In just about a hundred or so years, those two spirit veins will have completely adapted to their new course. Even if the array is damaged in the future, the spirit veins won't drift away from Luofeng Cliff. Instead, they will gradually merge with the original spirit vein and become a slightly higher-than-average spirit vein."

Chao Jinque looked at Qin Feng and smiled, "If you really want to thank me, give me some of the special materials you collected from the Red Flame Demon Realm.

I didn't participate in the trans-realm expedition, and when the sect was selecting the second batch of cultivators to go to the Red Flame Demon Realm for battle, they dropped me again. It's so hard to get good materials from other worlds without having to specifically apply to the Hall Master and even explain what they are for. It's too hard to get anything from that stingy guy."

Qin Feng laughed heartily, "A talent like Martial Uncle Chao is certainly needed right here at the Mountain Gate, otherwise, sending you to the battlefield would be the biggest waste. If by any chance…"

"Tsk tsk, crow's mouth."

Chao Jinque glared at him annoyed, "How can you say that? I'm a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and although I rarely contend with others, I'm not as weak as you think.

Besides, it's not like I don't have a combat-ready spiritual beast; it's just that I've never used it."

"Yes, yes, I've heard that Martial Uncle Chao has a Barbarian Bear as fat as a pig with quite formidable combat power. It's just that it's never experienced any battle, haha…"

"You little..."

Chao Jinque fumed and glared, then after a long while, he couldn't help but bitterly smile, "I've devoted too much energy to various constructions. Since the Foundation Establishment, I've always been busy with various things and really haven't experienced any battles, which led to that Barbarian Bear becoming as fat as a ball. It's hard to say if it still has any combat power.

Well, I'm old already, a peaceful life is also good.

But, with all the help I'm giving you, arranging the construction and gathering the spirit veins, you better not mistreat me?"

"Don't worry, uncle, it's just some materials from other worlds."

Qin Feng smiled, "I still have plenty of those, I'll pick some of the best and send them over to you."

Chao Jinque truly had helped a lot, guiding the spirit veins alone required a significant amount of energy. Now that Qin Feng was wealthy, he would naturally not be stingy with him.

"That's good."

Hearing Qin Feng say this, Chao Jinque instantly nodded in satisfaction, "Okay then, you go about your business, don't mind me. I'll naturally bring people over and get your family's residence built properly."
