An Upheaval in the Spirit Beast Garden

One month later, on this night.

The Spirit Beast Garden located on the back of Lingxiao Mountain.

This Spirit Beast Garden is the pasture where the Ling Clan used to raise their herd of Mountain-Opening Ox. However, during the Demon Beast Uprising, Ling Pengyun captured many docile demon Demon Beast and placed them here for Ling Yunhan to tame, which led to a large number of Demon Beast in this Back Mountain Pasture.

The previous grassland was too small to house such a large number of Demon Beast, so Ling Yunhan and Ling Pengyun expanded the Back Mountain Pasture and named it "Spirit Beast Garden".

at this time.

Nineteen Gale Wolf were gathered in a low wooden house in the Spirit Beast Garden, which covered an area of nearly half an acre.

Of these nineteen Gale Wolf, fifteen were the first batch that Gale Wolf Ling Pengyun caught, and the other four were female wolves that he caught later.

Currently, eighteen of the Gale Wolf are gathered in a circle, all looking at a Gale mother wolf who is lying on the ground with a huge belly that is constantly bobbing up and down.

The Swiftwind mother wolf, lying prostrate on the ground, looked pained and kept howling.

Among the wolf pack, the wolf king, who had the highest cultivation level and had reached the Qi Training Third Layer Peak, saw that the pregnant female wolf on the ground was in bad shape and immediately ran out of the low wooden house.

It eventually stopped under a huge tree with a wooden house built in the center of the Spirit Beast Garden, and kept ramming its body against the giant tree.

Then, the commotion caused by its impact with the giant tree.

A short while later, the door of the wooden house built on the giant tree was opened.

An old woman with white hair walked out of the wooden house and landed next to the male wolf under the tree.

This white-haired old woman was none other than Ling Yunhan, the only Beast Tamer of the Ling Clan, and the Spirit Beast Garden was managed by Ling Yunhan.

"What do you want with me?" Ling Yunhan asked the male wolf impatiently, her face showing a hint of drowsiness.

The male wolf and Ling Yunhan had Recognition of Ownership Restriction connection, and both could understand each other's words.

Upon hearing the question, the male wolf anxiously opened its mouth and howled twice.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunhan frowned and quickly followed the wolf king beside her into the den of the Gale Wolf Pack in the Spirit Beast Garden, into the low wooden house.

As soon as Ling Yunhan arrived, the dozen or so Gale Wolf that had gathered around the howling mother wolf scattered, making way for Ling Yunhan.

Ling Yunhan followed the path and walked to the side of the pregnant she-wolf who was lying on the ground, howling in pain.

When she saw the she-wolf's large belly rising and falling, a hint of joy appeared on her face.

"Judging from the fetal movements, this mother wolf is about to give birth."

This female wolf was pregnant when Ling Pengyun captured her here six months ago, though it wasn't obvious at the time.

She was detained here for nearly half a month before the signs of pregnancy became more obvious.

Subsequently, the mother wolf carried the wolf cubs for more than half a year, and now it is almost time for her to give birth.

Although this Gale Wolf was physically strong, childbirth was extremely taxing on her Blood Qi. Even for Demon Beast, childbirth could be life-threatening, so Ling Yunhan dared not be careless.

This swift-moving she-wolf was a treasure in her eyes, one of the keys to the growth of the wolf pack. It would be a pity if this she-wolf died like this.

She quickly Hand Seals and used a rare Fetus-Protecting Technique."

This secret technique can soothe the unborn cubs in the womb of Demon Beast, making it easier for the mother beast to give birth to her offspring during the birthing process.

At the same time, this Fetus-Protecting Technique is extremely rare and is not recorded in most Beast Taming Inheritance.

Ling Yunhan learned this skill because she bought it from a down-on-his-luck Rogue Cultivator in Cloudwater Market Town years ago.

It was precisely because of this secret technique that Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhan had the idea of developing a group of Demon Beast.

With the help of the Fetus-Protecting Technique, the fetal movements under the belly of the swift-wind mother wolf also improved.

The mother wolf's expression of pain lessened somewhat.

It cast a grateful glance at Ling Yunhan, and felt an even greater sense of approval towards Ling Yunhan.

This wolf had already been tamed by Ling Yunhan using her Beast Taming Secret Method.

Ling Yunhan, standing to the side, paid no attention to the look the swift-wind mother wolf gave her. After casting a Fetus-Protecting Technique spell, she quickly Hand Seals and cast a Spirit Transfer Technique to continuously transfer her spiritual power into the mother wolf's body, which would serve as the source of spiritual power for the wolf to give birth.

With the help of Ling Yunhan, a Beast Tamer, after several hours and a difficult labor, the mother wolf finally gave birth to a wolf cub without any major complications.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding Gale Wolf all showed joy and howled a few times to express their happiness.

Ling Yunhan, who delivered the baby for the mother wolf, was naturally delighted.

After giving the mother wolf, who was weak from giving birth and Qi and Blood, a Essence Blood Pill made from the blood of Demon Beast, she immediately stepped forward, picked up the newborn wolf cub, and carefully examined its gender.

When she saw that the wolf cub was male, a hint of disappointment appeared on her face.

If the pack of nineteen Gale Wolf in the Spirit Beast Garden wants to expand, the only way is to increase the number of female wolves.

If there are few female wolves, the wolf pack is less likely to grow strong.

Having a large number of male wolves is not very useful in the early stages of a wolf pack's development.

With a helpless sigh, Ling Yunhan scanned the wolf cub in her hand with her Divine Sense to probe the wolf's cultivation level.

When she realized that the little male wolf cub's innate cultivation had barely reached the Innate First Layer Realm, she was quite satisfied.

"This wolf cub's aptitude is passable. As long as the resources are not bad, it should be able to break through to the Qi Training Middle Stage without any problem. It is more than enough to serve as Spirit Beast for the clan."

"We could ask around the tribe if anyone wants this wolf."

With that thought in mind, Ling Yunhan placed the wolf cub, whose eyes were still closed, back beside the weak mother wolf who was lying on the ground.

Then, she quickly left the Spirit Beast Garden and followed a path up the back mountain to the Affairs Hall of Lingxiao Mountain.

"Second Aunt, have you come here to collect the Demon Beast meat needed for the fifteen Gale Wolf in the back mountain this month?" Ling Pengliang, who manages the Affairs Hall, asked with a hint of curiosity upon seeing Ling Yunhan's arrival.

The Spirit Beast Garden in the back mountain is also one of the Lineage's businesses. Ling Pengyun captures Demon Beast and keeps them in the garden, while Ling Yunhan manages them. The Lineage is responsible for the resource supply of the Demon Beast in the Spirit Beast Garden.

"Taking the meat of Demon Beast is only one aspect. In the Spirit Beast Garden, a female wolf gave birth to a male wolf cub. That male wolf cub was born with the cultivation level of the first Innate First Layer of the Innate Realm, and his aptitude is quite good."

"Go and ask if any members of the clan want to tame that male wolf cub. If so, have them come to the Spirit Beast Garden as soon as possible to set up Recognition of Ownership Restriction for the wolf cub."

"Otherwise, if the male wolf cub grows up a bit more and develops wildness, it won't be tamed by a simple Recognition of Ownership Restriction. There's a possibility that even if the male wolf cub is tamed, it might rebel in the future," Ling Yunhan said.

The larger the Demon Beast, the more resistant it becomes to cultivators. Keeping the Demon Beast by your side from a young age is beneficial for cultivating the relationship between the Spirit Beast and the cultivator.

Upon hearing Ling Pengliang's expression brightened slightly.

"I didn't expect that the Lineage's pack of Gale Wolf would have reproduced so quickly."

"Second Aunt, according to the rules we set out, you have raised a cub for the Lineage that is born with innate cultivation, so you can get fifty Contribution Points. I have recorded these Contribution Points for you," Ling Pengliang smile.

The Lineage adheres to the rule that one will receive a reward for doing something. When the Spirit Beast Garden was established in the back mountain, they made an agreement with Ling Yunhan that he would receive a reward for each Demon Beast cub he raised.

When Ling Pengyun captured Demon Beast and released it into the Spirit Beast Garden, he was also rewarded with a sum of Contribution Points.

As for the clansmen who want to tame the Spirit Beast cubs born in the Spirit Beast Garden, they also need to spend Contribution Points to exchange for them. However, the price of these Demon Beast cubs is only 70% of the market price, which is the same as the Contribution Points that the Lineage rewards Ling Yunhan for raising a Demon Beast cub.

Ling Yunhan didn't care about the reward. She was already old and there was no possibility of further progress in her Dao Path. None of her children had Spirit Root.

She raised Spirit Beast for the Lineage, only intending to contribute some strength to the Lineage in these last few years as her lifespan was nearing its end.

"Alright, give me all the Demon Beast meat that the Gale Wolf in the Spirit Beast Garden need to eat this month, so I don't have to make another trip later."

"In addition, you need to find a successor for me as soon as possible. My lifespan is running out. If it is delayed any longer, there will be no Beast Tamer to manage those several kinds of Demon Beast in the Spirit Beast Garden in the back mountain. At that time, it will be more difficult for us to grow stronger and for those groups of Demon Beast in the Spirit Beast Garden to achieve our goals." Ling Yunhan said with a frown.

"Second Aunt, I understand, but the art of beast taming is too dependent on talent. There is no suitable person in the clan at present. We can only hope that the younger generation whose Spirit Root are tested in the future will have this talent." Ling Pengliang handed a Storage Bag that he had prepared in advance to Ling Yunhan and said helplessly.

Ling Yunhan understood the difficulties involved, waved her hand, and left the place without a word.
