Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger-Chapter 16 - Matters of the Heart

Eight months later, Xu Feng returned to his home in the Spirit Turtle Mountain Range.

"Mother, here are 120 High Grade Spirit Stones; take them to buy Divine Soul Pills for my younger brother."

During this period, Xu Feng had been constantly traveling across various Lower Realms.

The missions he undertook were of the slaughtering kind, some successful and some not.

Sometimes, when encountering top-level Golden Core powerhouses of an Alien Race, Xu Feng would deploy the shield inherited from his turtle son and escape with the aid of the Qi Explosion Technique.

Due to his continuous travels during this time, Xu Feng had made a modest name for himself in various commerce.

Everyone knew there was a Golden Core Cultivator who took on Lower Realm missions with reckless abandon for the sake of money.

Su Yunnuan's expression turned ugly as she looked at the bag of High Grade Spirit Stones in her hands.

"Where did you get these Spirit Stones!" Su Yunnuan's gaze darkened as she looked at her son.

"He went to do Lower Realm missions!"

A voice came, and Xu Tian walked in, looking somewhat tired, with a somewhat disorderly aura about him.

"Father, you're injured!"

Xu Feng, sensing Xu Tian's aura, spoke with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Here are forty High Grade Spirit Stones. After living in such comfort at home for so many years, it really takes some getting used to when suddenly becoming active again."

"Don't worry, they are only minor injuries, with Little Armor here, those Nascent Soul experts can't harm me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Tian started to cough, obviously not lightly wounded.

Su Yunnuan looked at her husband with a worried face, suddenly feeling the two bags of High Grade Spirit Stones on the table getting heavier.

"Mother, go buy the Divine Soul Pills quickly; my little brother's advancement to the Inner Sect is more important." Seeing Su Yunnuan moved to the point of tears, Xu Feng hurriedly spoke.

He couldn't bear to see his family cry, especially his mother who had raised him since he was young.

"Alright, you two rest well at home, I'll go buy Divine Soul Pills for little Ming." Su Yunnuan said, standing up to leave.

"Remember to buy some more nourishing items for little Ming as well," Xu Tian added.

"Got it!"

After Su Yunnuan had left, only Xu Tian and Xu Feng, father and son, remained in the room.

"Father, how did you know I was undertaking Lower Realm missions? Couldn't I have had a fortuitous encounter, like discovering a Secret Realm or something?" Xu Feng asked with a smile.

"These Immortal Cities near us, big as they are, they're also small; the news of a Golden Core Cultivator who recklessly takes on Lower Realm missions for money can still be found out."

"Besides, with the Spirit Stones you've brought out and the aura of killing on you, even a fool could guess."

Xu Tian looked at his eldest son as he spoke.

"Remember the missions I saw; don't do it this way anymore."

"Healing your brother is a matter for your mother and me; your task now is to focus on your cultivation."

"I always felt you were hiding something, but I never realized you were so deeply concealed."

"That Little Gold has become so terrifying after you've raised it to the Growth Stage."

Xu Tian spoke in a tone filled with astonishment and pride.

"Father, you've even guessed this!"

"Well, didn't you see what your father used to do? I'm quite adept at gathering information," Xu Tian said with pride.

"I just want to tell you that there are no walls in the world that don't leak air; always hold something back in the future."

"Thank you for your guidance, Father," Xu Feng nodded.

In order to gather High Grade Spirit Stones, apart from not revealing the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle, he had been going all out almost every time.

"Father, aren't you going to ask why Little Gold is so formidable?"

"No need to ask. That's your own matter, and it touches upon your deepest secrets. Even with family, you should not disclose them," Xu Tian suddenly said solemnly.

"It's not that serious!" Xu Feng waved his hand.

"Xiao Jin has inherited a Breathing Technique from his bloodline, which is now perfected. So, I was thinking maybe father's Xiao Jia could also learn this Breathing Technique."

"The Breathing Technique from Xiao Jin's bloodline!" Xu Tian instantly became enthusiastic.

Generally, the Breathing Techniques of the Spiritual Beast category are universal.

Xu Feng took out the little Golden Armored Spirit Turtle from his embrace and placed it on the table.

"I have already told Xiao Jin, just let Xiao Jia stay with Xiao Jin for a while for them to communicate."

"Good, let them communicate." Xu Tian said with some surprise.

Under the resentful gaze of the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle, Xu Feng left riding an Immortal Crane.

After watching his son leave, Xu Tian fiddled with his Space Ring and took out a hundred-year-old Lingzhi mushroom, offering it to the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle as if presenting a treasure.

"This is from my savings by scrimping and saving."

Thinking about the Breathing Technique mentioned in his son's bloodline, his heart was filled with fervor.

Seeing the hundred-year-old Lingzhi in front of it, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle showed little interest and turned to walk toward the Thick Armored Turtle in the distance. Xu Tian continued,

"How did Feng'er teach him, to be so polite, not eating from others."

Seeing that the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle refused to eat, Xu Tian also put it back.

At the Spiritual Beast Peak, watching the ten Iron Feather Birds becoming increasingly spirited, Xu Feng thought about entrusting them to the family after they are ready to be deployed.

The main line of the Xu Feng family, including the branches, totaled over three thousand people, and he was part of a branch.

"Brother Xu, I take these ten Iron Feather Birds for a walk through the various cities in the Green Cloud Immortal Domain every day, making sure they get plenty of exercise." said an Outer Disciple who was guarding the place.

"Good, thank you for your hard work. From now on, raise the standard for raising Iron Feather Birds to twenty Spirit Stones a day." Xu Feng said, handing over eighteen Middle Grade Spirit Stones to the disciple.

Lately, he hadn't had time to look after the Iron Feather Birds, and it had been the Outer Disciples who had taken up the task.

"Brother Xu, rest assured, within two years, I guarantee all these Iron Feather Birds will advance to Spiritual Beasts." the Outer Disciple promised.

"Good, as long as they can advance, I'll give you a big red envelope at that time."

Painting a metaphorical pie, Xu Feng then flew towards Little Commerce Peak.

In a private booth of the teahouse, the two brothers silently enjoyed their tea, neither speaking.

"Dad just sent me a message, told me all about your situation."

"Brother, thank you!" Xu Ming said gratefully.

"Thanks my ass, we're real brothers." Xu Feng scolded with a laugh.

He knew his brother, who had grown up with him, quite well—a Sword Dao genius on the surface, but in his heart, quite simple and naïve.

"In the past, I strived hard in my Cultivation to become an Inner Sect Disciple, hoping to take care of big brother more."

"Now, I never expected that the one to be taken care of first would be me." Xu Ming's tone was somewhat downcast.

"You can take care, now that you've become an Inner Sect Disciple, you are a seedling for entry into the Immortal Sect!"

"Our family still has to rely on you to rise; don't let such trifles affect your state of mind."

"Those powerful figures in the world of Immortal Cultivation have never had a smooth journey in their lives."

"You too, if you want to reach that position, you must undergo setbacks."

"The whole family is watching you; you cannot lose a heart that strives for progress."

Xu Feng's encouragement poured into his little brother's heart, bowl after bowl.

Looking at his brother who was encouraging him, Xu Ming suddenly laughed.

"Big brother, I want to eat something good."

"Let's go, today big brother will take you to Half Moon Building for the Earth Dragon Nourishment Set Meal!"
