Chapter 255: Chapter 246 The Newborn Griffon_1
Yan Xing stood at the entrance of the Griffon Tower, carefully considering this bold idea.
Griffons were not magical beasts, but rather aerial predators of the Magic World that could rival a Seventh Order magical beast. Hence, there was no fear of the real world discovering the existence of magic through the research of Griffons.
Furthermore, after Yan Xing knew what magic was, he had conducted a magic element perception test in the real world. He found that there were no free magic elements there, so any magic he released would only consume his own magic power. The potency of magic in the real world would be somewhat diminished, but one could use rare alchemical resources to form a temporary magic environment through magical formations. That is to say, as long as one was willing to spend gold, the potency of magic could still reach its full value.
It was precisely because there were no magic elements in the real world that Griffons could not absorb them to undergo demonization into Royal Griffons; thus, the secrets of the Magic World could be preserved indefinitely.
Breeding Griffons in the real world had another advantage. In the Magic World, Griffons are creatures that have been tamed and coexist with humans. After establishing this symbiotic relationship, Griffons generally will not attack people. Instead, they would grow close to those who show them kindness and submit to those more powerful than they are. Therefore, the probability of Griffons injuring people when raised in the real world was very low.
With an imposing and fierce appearance, yet a warm heart, and the bonus of ancient mythology, Griffons would definitely be a veritable gold mine in the real world.
Importantly, Griffons see ordinary people as companions and those stronger than them as leaders. He estimated that there were no people in the real world whom Griffons would see as leaders, so regardless of the number of Griffons in the real world, Yan Xing would have primary control over them.
As for the troubles that the appearance of Griffons in the real world might cause... Yan Xing believed he was no longer the person he was a few months ago. Some troubles for him now were no longer troubles.
In this world, consistent cultivation was even more important than battles for a hero’s strength to improve. A session of meditation, a moment of enlightenment, a practice session—all would grant experience. Once strength reached a certain level, their level would also increase accordingly.

Yan Xing opened his attribute panel and, to his surprise, discovered his level had surpassed 30.
Hibel had said that level 30 was the mark of a mature hero. At this stage, the path of cultivation became clear, and one truly understood the power of a hero. Only by crossing this threshold did one truly embark on the path to power.
Comprehending Intermediate Level skills... Comprehending advanced skills, challenging oneself, challenging this hero’s journey.
Yan Xing could feel the change in his mindset.
When he first gained access to this Magic World, his heart was filled with apprehension. He feared his secrets being discovered and was extremely cautious about everything. He dreaded attracting trouble, terrified of being held at gunpoint by someone of unknown identity. Now, besides his increase in strength, Yan Xing was also the Lord of a city with a population of 20,000. He governed over 60,000 people within his territory, and his sphere of influence stretched across the entirety of the Thunderous Swamp. He was viewed as a threat by the Silvermane Principality, yet all parties had no choice but to engage in schemes and mind games with him.
His perspective was different now, and so was the way he viewed certain matters.
Isn’t it just rearing Griffons? I’ll just find a place in the real world to raise them.
Yan Xing stepped into the Griffon Tower.
Inside the Griffon Tower was a vertical shaft that led straight to the top, with spiral stairs along the wall and nests for Griffons to rest in. In the nests at the very bottom, 12 Griffon silhouettes awaited recruitment. The recruitment cost was 250 gold per Griffon.

Before Yan Xing could take a closer look at the Griffons’ attributes, eagle-like cries echoed through the spacious Griffon Tower.
The twelve Griffons stood up from their nests, stretching their bodies and flapping their wings, curiously observing this new world with their golden eyes.
They saw Yan Xing.
Seeing a human for the first time made them cautious. They cocked their heads, observing him, then with a few flaps of their half-spread wings, they hopped down to the ground from their relatively low nests.
The Griffons did not cry out but instead made a purring sound in their throats. This was the sound Griffons made when they felt affectionate towards humans, somewhat like a cat seeking attention.
All the newly manifested Griffons were fully mature, large in size, and possessed considerable intelligence. Their affinity and curiosity toward humans made them slowly approach Yan Xing, and they even rubbed their heads against his body. They even nudged him forcefully at times, testing the man’s strength.
Yan Xing could sense that these Griffons had a much better temperament than the advanced Battle Griffins, which was very beneficial for artificial breeding.
Then, Yan Xing had the Werewolves who were waiting outside come in.
Werewolf Beast Tamers were skilled at taming wild beasts and magical beasts. They were capable of establishing a mental connection with Griffons and understanding their needs more clearly. Therefore, Yan Xing did not entrust the management of the Griffon Tower to humans but chose a Werewolf Hero instead.
With the Beastmaster’s Ring, Yan Xing also possessed taming abilities. He and the Werewolf Beast Tamer conducted a thorough inspection of the newly manifested Griffons and selected three pairs for more meticulous care.
Bathing, blow-drying. Combing feathers, carefully examining the skin and bones. Facial features, limbs, anus... They checked for common parasites and diseases found on Griffons, creating an individual inspection record for each one.
This was the Griffon inspection process Yan Xing had learned in Nuta City. Each Griffon had to undergo regular health examinations. Wealthy Lords would also have potions to maintain the Griffons’ feathers, to make them look even more splendid. The care given to Griffons was on a completely different level compared to cavalry of the same rank.
After personally participating in the health inspections and feather care for the three pairs of Griffons, Yan Xing had the Werewolf Beast Tamer in charge of the Griffon Tower take the other Werewolves to care for the remaining six Griffons.
He himself took these three pairs of Griffons to a wilderness area far from the city, took out his phone, and started taking various pictures of them. He named each Griffon and had Chui Chui create individual files for them. Then he printed and bound them all into volumes.
Once all the necessary information was compiled, Yan Xing sent the six Griffons (the three pairs) back to the Griffon Tower.
Carrying the Griffon documentation, he crossed through space, returning from the Magic World to the real world.
