Longevity Family: Let Her Live At The Beginning, Let Her Live

"Prince Jiuyang is straightforward," Master Wan praised after hearing the words. He liked people who were straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. It made negotiations more enjoyable.

Then, he hesitated and said, "Prince Jiuyang, it's not that I won't provide them, but cultivating demonic beasts doesn't have a hierarchical division like alchemists. Some demonic beasts don't need cultivation; you just need to establish a bond with them when they are young, and they will develop on their own. However, some require intervention; otherwise, they won't reach their full potential when they mature. For example, if a third-tier beast is only developed to the second tier, it needs intervention. After all, you are raising them on your own territory and won't provide them with conditions similar to the outside world."

Zhang Ran nodded. This was similar to raising certain animals in his previous life, but raising demonic beasts was even more demanding.

Fortunately, he didn't need to pay too much attention to loyalty in his Spirit Beast Academy. He just needed to understand how to help the demonic beasts develop healthily through their most important stages.

Master Wan continued, "The cultivation methods I have learned for these demonic beasts are only a little over seven hundred. However, in this vast world, there are millions of different types of demonic beasts, so I don't know where to start if you want me to tell you everything at once. The cultivation methods vary for different breeds of demonic beasts."

Hearing this, Zhang Ran furrowed his brows slightly. This seemed too troublesome. He didn't have so much time to learn all these breeding techniques.

Zhang Ran had a sudden inspiration. "Master Wan, I have a proposal. I don't know if it's feasible."

"Please speak, Prince Jiuyang," Master Wan said in surprise.

"Let your disciples come to my Zhang family for exchange. My Zhang family can teach them alchemy, refining, and talisman formations," Zhang Ran said with a smirk. "When I entered earlier, I noticed that each of your disciples had different types of demonic beasts, flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, and even insects and water-based creatures. Let them come to my Zhang family for guidance. What do you think?"

Master Wan's eyes lit up, but he hesitated. "However, the experience of Myriad Beast Sect spans tens of thousands of years, while Prince Jiuyang's alchemy and refining techniques have only been developed for a short time. Is it fair for us to exchange like this?"

Zhang Ran naturally understood what the other party meant and took out a pill. "This is a gift as a token of our meeting. Consider it a deposit. For each cultivation method of a hundred different types of demonic beasts that I teach, there will be at least one fifth-tier pill as a reward. I wonder if Master Wan is willing?"

"Agreed, agreed!" Master Wan's face blossomed with a smile. He was very willing. "Prince Jiuyang, I will gather all the disciples and let you choose a few to take back with you."

"Master Wan, I'm afraid a few won't be enough. I want a hundred," Zhang Ran said.

Master Wan's face showed hesitation, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "A hundred is also possible, but you have to pay more."

When Zhang Ran left Myriad Beast Sect, Master Wan's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Even the disciples of the sect were angry but dared not speak out, each of them feeling indignant.

"Master, he took away all the beautiful female cultivators of our sect. Aren't you going to stop him?"

Master Wan sighed. "I didn't notice, either."

"Hmph, Master Wan, next time someone from the Zhang family comes, you should also choose a few female cultivators from the Zhang family. Otherwise, we'll be at a loss."

When Zhang Ran arrived, he was alone. But when he left, he took away one hundred female disciples from the Myriad Beast Sect. Fortunately, the carriage had enough space to accommodate all of them. Otherwise, it would have been quite a spectacle, attracting a lot of attention. I estimate that the Ninth Prince will become popular again.

Inside the carriage, there were beautiful women and fragrant flowers, overwhelming Zhang Ran's senses.

It wasn't intentional on Zhang Ran's part. He discovered that the spirit beasts brought by these one hundred cultivators were highly targeted, and the spirit beasts they cultivated were much healthier in terms of spiritual energy compared to other spirit beasts.

Perhaps it was because girls are more delicate in their thoughts that Zhang Ran felt that this was the reason he chose them.

Most of them were at the Foundation Building Stage, with more than ten Core Formation cultivators among them.

The highest cultivation level belonged to the young girl standing behind the Sect Master when Zhang Ran arrived, Wan Yingying.

She was already at the sixth level of Core Formation, and although she was a hundred years old, there were no traces of time on her face.

"Ninth Prince, you truly live up to your reputation as the charming prince of Daqian. You didn't waste a single spot and managed to take away all one hundred of our Myriad Beast Sect's talented disciples," Wan Yingying sat next to Zhang Ran and teased.

She had always been bold, and the others were extremely respectful when they approached, as the Ninth Prince held the same status as their Sect Master.

"Don't talk nonsense. I carefully selected the one hundred most outstanding geniuses from your Myriad Beast Sect," Zhang Ran replied.

"Hehe, Ninth Prince, you must entertain us well during the one hundred days we spend at your Zhang family," Wan Yingying smiled mischievously. Perhaps because she often dealt with spirit beasts, she appeared more generous in her attire. It was unclear whether she was intentionally or unintentionally flaunting herself in front of Zhang Ran.

Her round and slender jade legs were exposed, her arms were wrapped around a pair of treasures, and her fair and rosy neck emitted a fragrance of a young girl and a hint of a fiery sensation. She was the object of desire for many male disciples of the Myriad Beast Sect and the enemy of countless female disciples.

"Miss Wan, your father and I are considered acquaintances as Fellow Daoists. If he finds out about your behavior in front of me, he might punish you," Zhang Ran reproached her in an elder's tone.

"Hmph, how boring," as soon as Zhang Ran mentioned Sect Master Wan, Wan Yingying lost interest and immediately became obedient. Zhang Ran could finally enjoy a peaceful journey.

When the Ninth Prince's carriage returned to the Zhang family, a group of beautiful women in various colors came out to greet Zhang Ran. The senior sisters who came to welcome him were all stunned and couldn't think of any clever words to say.

Seventh Senior Sister exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, you've brought back so many again. Is it a hundred this time? Husband, others carefully select their Dao companions, but you seem to be buying in bulk."

"Nonsense, I brought them from the Myriad Beast Sect to teach us their spirit beast breeding techniques. Don't spread rumors, or they might misunderstand my intentions," Zhang Ran immediately stopped her, pretending to be a good person wrongly accused.

The other wives just smiled and didn't say anything, especially the people from Little Rain Peak, who were very familiar with this conversation.

However, it was also clear that Zhang Ran had a purpose this time, so they asked, "Husband, cultivating spirit beasts is very troublesome. If we need them, we can go to the Chamber of Commerce or the Spirit Beast Sect to purchase them. Why go through so much trouble?"

Zhang Ran explained, "You don't understand. Buying them yourself is different from cultivating them in your own family. No major power would allow any weaknesses in any field, or else they would have to rely on others. That's why the Zhang family needs to develop in multiple areas."

Zhang Ran had great ambitions, and while some people understood, others did not. He immediately announced that all the direct descendants of the Zhang family with spiritual roots should gather at the Zhang family's Jade Square.

This square was located between the inner and outer cities and covered an area of three hundred thousand square meters. It had just been completed and was being used for the first time.
