Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

After using the teleportation talisman to escape, Lü Qingqiu ran all the way back to Yuhe City without looking back.

After resting and recuperating for a period of time and fully recovering from his injuries, he went to the Great Qi Academy.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Song Bufan as soon as he entered the Great Qi Academy.

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

Song Bufan glanced at her, then left without saying a word.

Lü Qingqiu stood there, stunned, her face full of disbelief.

You should know that she rarely took the initiative to greet Song Bufan before; it was always Song Bufan who would see her and come over to talk to her.

Now that I'm taking the initiative, he's ignoring me; it's completely upside down.

This puzzled Lü Qingqiu.

Especially Song Bufan's gaze, as if he were looking at a stranger, and his face was even more gloomy than before.

Looking into his eyes sent a chill down Lü Qingqiu's spine.

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

Lü Qingqiu scoffed.

"Whatever, I don't care. They'll come looking for me again in a few days anyway."

That was indeed the case in the past. Regardless of who was right or wrong between them, Song Bufan would always be the first to apologize and apologize to her.

Unfortunately, this time is different.

After seeing Lü Qingqiu's ruthlessness, Song Bufan realized that all his previous efforts had been a joke.

Furthermore, his brush with death made him realize that in this world, only strength is fundamental.

So he decided to ignore Lü Qingqiu and focus on improving his own strength regardless of the consequences.

Fortunately, they met at the Great Qi Academy. If they had met in the wilderness, Song Bufan might have killed Lü Qingqiu, that worthless woman who wasted one of his teleportation talismans.

A few more days passed.

Lu Qingqiu panicked a little because Song Bufan had not come to find her yet, and every time they met during this time, Song Bufan pretended to be a stranger, and once even showed murderous intent towards her.

Lü Qingqiu couldn't understand what was going on.

Pride prevented her from asking Song Bufan directly.

And so, the two, who were once inseparable, went their separate ways.

Song Bufan devoted most of his time to cultivation. After breaking up with Lü Qingqiu, he no longer needed to send Lü Qingqiu cultivation resources, and his own cultivation speed improved much faster.

As for Lü Qingqiu, without Song Bufan's support, her cultivation progressed even more slowly, given her already mediocre talent.

Instead of recognizing her mistakes, she often harbored resentment towards Song Bufan.

.....

About fifty miles east of Chaoxia Peak, there is a small hill over five hundred feet high called Xiaodong Mountain. The mountain is covered with lush trees and abundant flowers and plants, and is full of spiritual energy.

The Xu family spent a lot of money to rent Xiaodong Mountain as a place for raising spirit beasts.

The business of raising spirit beasts is very important to the Xu family, and Xu Qingzhou specially arranged for the Second Elder to be in charge of it. He will also be stationed here in the future.

After renting Xiaodongshan, the Second Elder arranged for people to set up the formation, while he personally went to Wanbaoge to purchase all the necessary items.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

At first, the Xu family's move attracted the attention of some forces in the city, but later, when it was discovered that the Xu family only intended to develop a business of raising spirit beasts, no one cared anymore.

The business of raising spirit beasts is either something small factions do, raising weak spirit beasts for food to earn spirit stones.

It could be a powerful force like the Lingyue Sect or the Taixu Sect, which has enough time and disciples and elders to spend a lot of treasures to cultivate rare and exotic beasts with various abilities.

The market for raising mythical beasts is huge, and everyone raises their own, with almost no connection between them.

After several months of busy work.

The Xu family's breeding base on Xiaodong Mountain has been completed and is now operational.

Clan Chief Xu Qingzhou personally went to inspect the work.

After leaving home, I traveled eastward along the Bailu River and soon arrived at Xiaodongshan.

From a distance, Xiaodongshan was shrouded in layers of white mist, making it impossible to discern its true form.

This is because a maze was set up around the mountain, which ordinary cultivators could not see through.

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

"Chieftain, what brings you here?"

Xu Qingzhou replied, "I'm just here to take a look around."

“Alright, I’ll take you with me,” the Second Elder said respectfully.

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

The vast Xiaodongshan Mountain was divided into five areas by an array, each housing different spirit beasts.

Red-beaked chickens, which can be eaten for both chicken meat and eggs; black-skinned pigs weighing 700-800 pounds; and unicorn sheep with delicious meat.

There is also a fishpond where three types of aquatic fish can be raised together.

These are all mythical creatures commonly found on dining tables, and the market for them is huge.

The Second Elder said, "We haven't found a suitable place to raise spirit beasts in this last empty space yet. It's mainly because there's only so much space left, and we want to be careful in our selection."

Xu Qingzhou nodded affirmatively.

"That's the right way to think. The previous ones were all cheap spirit beasts. In the end, we should get a slightly more expensive one to lay the foundation for raising high-level spirit beasts in the future."

Raising spirit beasts and mastering alchemy, artifacts, and array formations all lead to the same goal: start with the simplest methods, and gradually upgrade as you master certain skills and become proficient.

“Yes, we can’t keep raising these cheap goods forever,” the Second Elder replied.

Spirit beast breeding is a sustainable industry. Even if the Xu family becomes the hegemon of the Great Qi Dynasty or even the world, they can still breed spirit beasts.

However, by then they might be raising mythical beasts or even celestial beasts.

After wandering around Xiaodong Mountain for a long time, Xu Qingzhou finally returned home.

He had decided to have hot pot before he left, and Su Xinyan had already prepared the ingredients he wanted.

They ate hotpot and hummed songs.

Su Xinyan said, "I think once the business of raising spirit beasts is stable, the Xu family could try opening a restaurant or tavern."

"How so?" Xu Qingzhou asked casually.

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

"You've done so much research on food, including some seasonings and recipes that aren't available elsewhere. I think if you open a restaurant with those recipes, the business shouldn't be too bad."

Xu Qingzhou nodded affirmatively, "That's right. After a few years, once the business of raising spirit beasts is stable, we'll try opening a restaurant first."

The seasonings are developed and formulated in-house, and the ingredients are made from spirit beasts raised on the mountain, so there's no need to worry about food safety.

Before opening a restaurant, you can also try to buy some spirit wine, so that you can earn spirit stones from the food and drinks.

The more I think about it, the clearer the Xu family's development direction seems.

After eating and drinking their fill, Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan would play some entertainment activities, and then try to conceive that night. He did this almost every day, with work and entertainment, making his life very fulfilling.

Low emotional intelligence: Xu Qingzhou spends eleven hours a day eating, drinking, and having fun.

High emotional intelligence: As the clan leader, Xu Qingzhou still maintains the habit of working for one hour every day.
