Chapter 65

Jiang Yuejing and the others reconvened to discuss the issues regarding Jianmu and the spirit beasts, establishing a new set of rules. To prevent powerful spirit beasts from occupying the space beneath Jianmu for extended periods, any spirit beast that entered was barred from returning for the next five days. Xu Yuan provided a roster board commonly used in the Beast Taming Peak; its function was simple, allowing spirit beasts to leave their paw prints as signatures. Every spirit beast coming to the roots of Jianmu not only had to pay spirit stones but also had to leave its paw print on the beast roster board. Originally, the quota for spirit beasts allowed to stay under Jianmu was five, but this was adjusted to grant one additional spot specifically to the Beast Taming Peak, exempt from the five-day reentry restriction, on the condition that they helped maintain order among the beasts and protected Jianmu from harm. Originally, Jiang Yuejing had wanted to reserve this spot for Xu Yuan, because Xiaohu was bound to him through a spiritual contract, meaning their minds were linked and Xu Yuan could understand Xiaohu's language. However, at Xu Yuan's insistence, it was reassigned to the Beast Taming Peak.
