Chapter 173: Not as Good as My Fellow Sectmates’ Love
Chapter 173 – Not as Good as My Fellow Sectmates Sending Me Love
“Then thank you, Senior Brother Lu.”
Huang Yuan couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xuan agree.
The outer disciples from the other waters found him and asked him to help contact Lu Xuan to draw blood to check the auger pythons they kept.
If Lu Xuan had refused, he would have been a bit embarrassed on his face.
With a flick of his right hand, Huang Yuan’s spiritual light flashed and a flying boat artifact appeared on the ground.
The two of them boarded the flying boat, and the artifact transformed into a stream of light that sped off into the distance.
The Thousand Dragon Lake was vast, stretching for hundreds of miles, and naturally, there was more than one place where a first and second grade level dragon python was kept.
A few moments later, the two arrived in front of several stone houses.
As soon as they landed, several people hurried out, and when they saw Lu Xuan and the two of them, their eyes lit up.
“Senior Brother Huang, you’re finally here, you really made me wait.”
“This is Senior Brother Lu Xuan Lu who was able to discover the traces of the Parasitic Hidden Scale Fish, right? I’ve heard a lot about you, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
A cultivator with an old and steady face greeted the two enthusiastically, grabbing Lu Xuan’s hand and not letting go for a long time.
Lu Xuan broke free and cupped his fists to salute:
“Good day, Senior Brother.”
“Senior Brother Zhang, it was hard for me to call Senior Brother Lu over, so don’t scare this great treasure away.”
Huang Yuan on the side teased.
Zhang Hao couldn’t help but rub his hands together and smiled sarcastically.
Huang Yuan introduced each other, and several people stepped into the stone house together.
“Senior brother Zhang, senior brother Lu came over this time to solve the problem of the Cryptic Scale Fish parasitized in the Jiao Long Python’s body, so plan and arrange it properly, and try to check out all the Jiao Long demonic beasts in these waters in one go.”
Entering the stone house, Lu Xuan sat on the side and smiled without saying anything, Huang Yuan went straight to the point and said to Zhang Hao and the others.
“As for the reward, Senior Brother Lu said that he is only willing to take a little bit of hard work, and the inspection price is the same as before.”
“For every scaly dragon python inspected, then you need to pay two spirit stones, and if you find any cryptic scale fish or other abnormalities, then you need to pay twenty spirit stones each.”
“What do you think, Senior Brother Zhang?”
“That’s great, Senior Brother Lu taking such good care of his fellow disciples is really too righteous!”
Zhang Hao said with a smile, he had been prepared for the price of the inspection to rise, but Lu Xuan had given him a pleasant surprise.
The ones who raised the Jiao Long Python demonic beasts were all ordinary outer disciples, who were not considered the most outstanding within the sect in terms of both birth and talent, so countless efforts were poured into the task of raising the Jiao Longs.
Although it added up to about a hundred spirit stones per cultivator, it was nothing in front of the many rare and expensive Jiaolong Pythons.
After a few words of conversation between a few people, someone brought Lu Xuan forward to draw blood to check the scaly dragon.
One by one, the scaly dragons were presented to Lu Xuan under the control of the Imitation Dragon Binding Ring.
He first raised a little bit of demonic beast meat to learn detailed information about the Jiao Dragon and its physical state, and then began to extract the Jiao Dragon’s essential blood.
So on and so forth, one jiao dragon was sent to him like an assembly line, and he mechanically and numbly repeated the action over and over again.
As the number of scaly dragons extracting blood increased, the white jade vials used to hold the blood in the storage bag were gradually stretched to the limit, slowly becoming somewhat insufficient.
Lu Xuan took advantage of the gaps between the incoming and outgoing, mixing the same variety of Jiao dragon and python’s essence blood together, thus obtaining new empty white jade vials, lest there be an embarrassing situation where the number of blood containers were insufficient.
During this period, the occasional case of a Cryptic Scale Fish being parasitized inside a Jiao Dragon was also discovered, and Lu Xuan lightly identified it and let the cultivator deal with it on his own.
It had been busy for almost a whole day before all the scaly dragon pythons in Zhang Hao’s waters were checked.
Lu Xuan had drawn blood more than two hundred times in total, and the white jade vials in his storage bag were almost piled up into a small mountain. In addition, more than five hundred spirit stones were obtained, and his fortune exceeded two thousand five hundred spirit stones at once.
“Senior Brother Zhang, all the scaly dragon pythons in the waters have been examined, and a few traces of crypto-scaled fish have been found, and for more information, we still need to go through some testing of the essence blood.”
Lu Xuan said to the Steady Cultivator with a weary expression, but in actuality, his heart was indeed incomparably satisfied.
“This time it’s thanks to you, Senior Brother Lu, if it wasn’t for your help, with our understanding of the Jiao Long, if we wanted to check out the traces of the Hidden Scale Fish, we still don’t know how long it would have taken.”
“This is what senior brother should do, in the future, if you want the scaly dragon python and other healthy and rapid growth, I will come over regularly to draw their blood and do a checkup, lest they be invaded by other demonic insects and evil spirits parasites.”
Zhang Hao and the others nodded their heads in agreement when they heard this.
As it was getting late, Lu Xuan Huang Yuan decided to go back, and the flying boat sharply grew larger as the two of them leapt.
Strong wind whistled in his ears, Lu Xuan looked back, between Zhang Hao and the others were still standing in the same place, watching themselves leave.
“This scene makes one unable to resist the poetry.”
The corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth rose as he secretly thought in his heart.
“Lu Xuan was about to travel in his boat.
Suddenly he heard the sound of a song being sung on the shore.
The water of the Thousand Dragon Lake is a thousand feet deep
It’s not as deep as my fellow disciples’ love for me. ……”
“Good poem, good poem~”
“Master Lu, the cave has arrived, it’s getting late, so I won’t go in to ask for a cup of hot tea.”
Huang Yuan harnessed the flying boat magic weapon and sent Lu Xuan all the way back to the vicinity of his cave residence.
“Alright, then I’ll work hard for Senior Brother Huang, next time I have the chance to have a good drink again.”
Lu Xuan didn’t fake an invitation and said directly.
After waiting for Huang Yuan to leave, he arrived outside the courtyard gate and opened the formation, the thick white mist dispersed and the courtyard gate clearly appeared in front of him.
Pushing open the courtyard door, what he saw at a glance were two turquoise eye pupils, like ghostly flames in the dim light.
“Night owl one.”
Lu Xuan shot out a spiritual energy, and the light flashed, revealing the surrounding situation clearly in front of him.
The turquoise-eyed pupil was naturally the Treading Cloud Lynx, seeing Lu Xuan enter the house, it lazily stretched its limbs, the two tufts of hair on the tips of its ears shaking slightly with joy.
“Ow~”
A low roar with a three-quarter clip rang out, and the lynx stepped on white paws that were like clouds and left gracefully.
Lu Xuan returned to the house, only to see the Wind Falcon hatchling lying on the wooden bed without any poise, its round belly facing upwards, rising and falling with its breathing, its two pale green bird feet forked, from time to time stretching out its pale green feathered wings, fiddling with something on its body.
Lu Xuan cleaned up the numerous white jade bottles in his storage bag, bringing together the essence blood of similar scaly dragon pythons.
Although there were quite a few different species amongst the dragon pythons, most of them were still common, so the overlap was still quite high, and was able to save quite a few white jade bottles.
After the inventory was completed, Lu Xuan felt slightly tired after relaxing after facing many Jiao Dragon Pythons with his mind tensed up for the whole day.
After washing up a little, his head fell towards the wooden bed, resting appropriately on the rounded belly of the Wind Falcon Cub.
“Comfortable~”
He couldn’t help but sigh and quickly fell into sleep.
The Treading Cloud Lynx on the side gently landed on the edge of the bed, its turquoise pupils looking at Lu Xuan in dreamland without moving.
