63: Chapter 63 Water Buffalo

This was a universal Foundation Establishment method.

Su Yang had never heard of such a versatile Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique existing in the cultivation world.

Furthermore, the Dao base it constructs perfectly fits the Cultivator, allowing cultivation speed to double with half the effort, greatly increasing Spell power, and raising the success rate of condensing a Golden Core!

From this, it could be seen that the value of the "Dao Origin Hunyuan Scripture" was the same as the "Hunyuan Condensing True Method"—it was a supreme Dao method that even Golden Core Cultivators or even Nascent Soul powerhouses would snatch at any cost!

Another Family secret that absolutely must not be leaked.

Su Yang thought to himself as he closed the Su Family genealogy. He calmed himself on the spot for quite a while before finally settling his thoughts.

He stood up and walked into the inner courtyard, a warm smile on his face, quickly blending into the Family's festive atmosphere.

Days passed one by one.

One day, Su Xuanling suddenly found Su Yang and said she could understand Da Hei's words.

Da Hei was actually the Big Black Ox; it was the name Su Xuanling had given it.

Simple and unadorned, but the Big Black Ox didn't seem to mind.

"Daddy, Da Hei says he wants to live under the spirit tree," Su Xuanling said in a milky voice.

Su Yang wasn't surprised that Su Xuanling could understand the Big Black Ox.

He asked with a smile, "The Spiritual Qi concentration in the inner courtyard is the same everywhere. Why does he specifically want to be near the spirit tree? He wouldn't be trying to steal fruit to eat, would he?"

The heavenly spirit fruits only ripen once every ten years. Even if Da Hei wanted to steal some, he couldn't, as they had all been harvested.

Su Xuanling didn't expect her father to ask this, so she huffed and puffed over to Da Hei's side and repeated her father's words.

Da Hei let out a few 'moos'.

Su Xuanling nodded repeatedly to show she understood, then huffed and puffed back.

"Da Hei says the spirit tree can nourish the surrounding plants, so the grass there tastes better."

"The spirit tree has that effect too? Speaking of which, what breed of ox is Da Hei? Does he know himself?"

After hearing this, Su Xuanling ran back and forth once more.

"Da Hei says he's a water buffalo."

"Alright, I see. Take him to play under the spirit tree then." Su Yang rubbed his youngest daughter's beautiful hair and reminded her with a smile, "Next time you pass a message, just bring Da Hei over directly so you don't have to run back and forth."

"Oh!"

Su Xuanling suddenly realized, her beautiful large eyes sparkling with light.

Watching the back of his daughter leading the ox away, Su Yang stood in place, lost in thought.

Yao Beasts all possess Yao Race Bloodlines; only Great Yao capable of transforming into humans are worthy of being called the Yao Race.

In ancient times, these Great Yao were initially just ordinary wild beasts. Through chance opportunities, their Bloodlines ascended, and they evolved into Yao Beasts.

Then, they cultivated step by step to become thousand-year-old Great Yao.

After transforming into humans, they could mate with other transformed Yao Beasts to produce offspring, and even reproduce with the Human Race.

For example, the Golden Crow Clan, the Nine-Tailed Yao Clan, the Dragon Clan, and so on; these groups are collectively known as the Yao Race.

They can freely switch between their original forms and human forms, breaking through reproductive isolation between species.

As a result, modern Yao Beasts have varied forms, often mixing multiple Yao Race characteristics. Only when their Bloodlines return to their ancestors will the mixed blood be purged, transforming them into a single, pure Yao Race true form.

For instance, if a certain Yao Beast possesses both Dragon Clan and Wolf Clan Bloodlines, it might look like a wolf but have dragon horns.

When its Dragon Clan Bloodline returns to its ancestors, it will completely transform into a true dragon, and its Wolf Clan characteristics will no longer be visible.

Most Yao Beasts are mixed-blood descendants of the Yao Race. Before their Bloodlines return to their ancestors, their intelligence is low, only slightly stronger than ordinary wild beasts.

But what Su Yang saw in Da Hei was another side.

Da Hei didn't seem like a mixed-blood descendant of the Yao Race. His appearance was no different from the water buffaloes plowing fields outside, yet he emitted Demonic Qi and possessed extremely high intelligence.

"Could it be that Da Hei is a pure-blooded Yao Race descendant? Was his ancestor a Great Yao that cultivated from an ordinary water buffalo?"

Su Yang thought it over and realized only this one answer could explain Da Hei's situation.

A water buffalo becoming a Great Yao and having pure-blooded offspring with other water buffaloes would naturally still result in a water buffalo, without other Yao Race characteristics.

At the same time, pure-blooded Yao Race members possess extremely high intelligence from a young age. It is said that pure-blooded Dragon Clan members can speak as soon as they are born, and some can even directly transform into human children.

If Da Hei really was a pure-blooded descendant of a Great Yao, he could definitely be raised as a Guardian Spirit Beast for the Family.

"It seems I need to find a way to get a Beast Taming Inheritance."

Su Yang immediately called Luo Qian and An Ziyao over.

"Patriarch!"

The two cupped their hands in a salute.

Su Yang instructed, "The Su Family needs a Beast Taming Inheritance, but such inheritances are relatively rare. I need you to go to several Cultivation Markets to search for one, and while you're at it, record the factions and commercial layouts within the markets."

Raising Yao Beasts is much easier than raising Cultivators. Yao Beasts only need to eat to increase their cultivation, and they have long lifespans. Raising a Guardian Spirit Beast can benefit three or four generations.

Beast taming methods aren't uncommon, but most of these techniques are held by cultivation families.

It would be quite difficult for the Su Family to buy a Beast Taming Inheritance from a market.

Su Yang actually didn't have high expectations for this and could only let nature take its course.

After assigning the tasks, he returned to his quiet room and tossed out Spirit Stones to cover the floor.

Su Yang's cultivation had reached Qi Refining Layer Six Perfection, just one step away from Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.

Today, he planned to break through this Bottleneck in one go.

His eldest son was already at Qi Refining Layer Five, and there was also Wei Yan at Seventh Layer of Qi Refining in the house. Su Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

Although being surpassed by his son wasn't something to be ashamed of, he couldn't suppress the competitiveness in his heart.

How could a father let his son stay ahead of him?

Spiritual Qi surged and gathered in his Dantian, transforming into spiritual power that flowed through his limbs and bones, launching a fierce assault on that invisible Bottleneck.

A majestic surge of spiritual power diffused from within his body.

The Spirit Stones in the room shattered one after another, turning into a Spiritual Qi vortex.

Wave after wave of spiritual power impact, like an endless tide, repeatedly washed against that invisible Bottleneck.

With a faint, slight sound.

The spiritual power inside Su Yang's body suddenly erupted, the force of its expansion causing the Formation in the room to ripple.

His cultivation subsequently broke through to Seventh Layer of Qi Refining, officially entering the Late Stage Qi Refining.

"My spiritual power has increased threefold compared to before. No wonder Martial Arts Grandmasters cannot defeat a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator."

Feeling the thickness of his spiritual power, Su Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The same shield formed by the Golden Light Spell: if a Middle Stage Qi Refining shield was compared to paper, then a Late Stage Qi Refining shield was like steel.

This was a qualitative change caused by a quantitative one.

From now on, he would have no fear of Martial Arts Grandmasters in a head-on battle. Su Yang was in high spirits and stepped out of the room.

This seclusion seemed brief, but in reality, several days had passed.

His Divine Sense spread out to cover the entire Su Family, and he found Qin Jiangmei entertaining others in the main hall, with his children and grandson all present.

The only guests the Su Family would treat this way were the Qin Family!

In the main hall, Qin Han was dressed in a county magistrate's official robe, the corners of his eyes curved into a soft arc. His skin was pale, his smile was flattering, and he nimbly brewed tea for everyone present.

On one side were his uncle and aunt, and on the other was his cousin who had joined a cultivation Family.

Having just arrived in Qingyuan County to take office, Qin Han was terrified, afraid of making even the slightest mistake.

The ones visiting the Su Family today were not just Qin Han, but also Qin Jiangmei's biological parents.

The two elders looked aged, with graying hair at their temples, but they carried an elegant and dignified air.

The two looked at their grandson and great-grandson in the room with kind smiles, their hearts filled with a mix of emotions.
