Chapter 365 – Unusual Imperial Beasts
Chapter 365 – Unusual Beast Taming
After gaining some understanding of the dozen or so fourth grade young beasts, Lu Xuan began his beast taming journey.
“You are all descendants of Fourth Grade Demonic Beasts, I’m sure you don’t need to say much about your spiritual intelligence, you should all be able to understand the meaning within my words.”
He swept over all the young beasts, and his sight paused at the Air Lion Avian Beast.
“First, do a simple patience training.”
Lu Xuan spoke under his breath, and as spiritual energy surged within his body, the rocks on the floor of the stone hall tumbled over, and more than a dozen stone houses instantly appeared.
The stone houses were all more than two zhang in length and width, not tall, and looked extremely simple.
“One beast to one stone house, stay inside for two hours, don’t move lightly inside, if you run out within the stipulated time, there will be different levels of punishment.”
“Including but not limited to reduced food supply, confinement, corporal punishment.”
As soon as his words fell, more than ten young beasts chose a stone house and firmly occupied it.
The Lion and Bird Beasts fell last, choosing left and right, selecting a stone house already occupied by a spirit beast, and after being threatened and warned by the low roar of the young beasts inside, they searched from room to room, and finally found a stone house that was empty.
There were more than ten spirit beasts, all of them staying peacefully within the range circled by Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan took out a tome from his storage bag, and on the roof of the stone house, a gray pupil of an eye appeared noiselessly, and a crack appeared in the palm of his hand, taking in the situation of the many young beasts.
After these young beasts were domesticated, most of them were used to guard various important places in the sect, often staying in a certain area for long periods of time.
And demonic beasts were simple-minded and impatient, so it was necessary to tame their patience.
“It’s a bit like a teacher on a podium, what’s happening below the stage looks like it’s not noticed at all, but in actuality, it’s clear as day.”
Lu Xuan glanced at the pupil of the eye that the Void Nightmare Purpose had separated from in the palm of his hand and secretly thought in his heart.
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
Demonic beasts were, after all, demonic beasts, and although they grew up within the sect, in a calm and homogenous environment, and their spiritual intelligence was not low, there was still quite a bit of bestiality within their bodies.
In the beginning, they were able to remain calm, and as time grew longer, they began to become restless.
One by one, they moved around in the area delineated by Lu Xuan anxiously, their mouths emitting low roars and hisses from time to time.
There were even two young beasts that tried to cross the low stone wall, but as soon as they reached the vicinity of the stone wall, the only remaining sense in their minds made them retreat back to their original position.
“There are still three young beasts that are doing well.”
Lu Xuan lamented as he noticed the small movements of the young beasts in the stone hall.
The three young beasts were the Black-Horned Spirit Rhinoceros, the Lion Avian Beast, and the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon.
The Black-horned Spirit Rhinoceros looked extremely patient, staying quietly in the demarcated area with a long and calm breath.
The lion avian beast is also very honest, just lax eyes, a demented look.
“Hmm?”
The line of sight swept over the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon, which was crouching on the ground obediently, looking like it was performing extremely well.
Lu Xuan had been practicing the Delusion Breaking Pupil Technique for a long time and sensed that there was a hint of something wrong.
A layer of misty spiritual power appeared on the surface of his pupils, and the stone house where the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon was located shattered like a bubble, revealing the real scene inside.
The Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon was leisurely walking around the stone house, from time to time, it rolled over the low stone wall and jumped into the area of other young beasts.
The movement was extremely small, and there was an illusion to cover it up, so Lu Xuan’s line of sight was always inside his own stone house.
“Good fellow, still using illusion to cover himself!”
“Unfortunately, Dao is one foot tall and the devil is one foot tall, I’ve caught him, haven’t I.” The Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look at Lu Xuan, catching a glimpse of his pupils with spiritual energy flowing on the surface.
It was clear that its small movements had been discovered by Lu Xuan, and being a thief, its tiny head burrowed into its brilliantly colored plumes.
Soon, two hours passed.
Lu Xuan stretched his back and floated above the ten or so stone houses.
“Alright, time’s up, you can come out now.”
“Roar!”
As soon as his words fell, various beast roars rang out, and more than a dozen young beasts flew out and jumped out of the low stone house as if they were pardoned.
A strong wind blew past, Lu Xuan’s eyes were white as countless thunderbolts surged, and as soon as he regained his sight, he saw the four-winged Thunderstorm Tiger resting in mid-air, a pair of deep purple eye pupils staring at him dead on.
It kept roaring lowly, and thunder light surfaced on its silver-white body, showing off its talent to the fullest, the
In a flash, it flew to the other side of Lu Xuan in an instant, showing its teeth, seemingly intimidating and threatening Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was unmoved, mentally evaluating the performance of the many young beasts just now.
Suddenly, his movements lurched, and the lion avian beast actually remained honestly inside the stone house.
Lu Xuan had no choice but to fly to the Lion Bird Beast’s body, stroking its mighty and domineering looking lion-headed head, and softly said:
“Alright, the endurance training is over, you performed very well today, making me feel surprised.”
He knew that this extremely hideous looking young beast in front of him actually had an inferiority complex that didn’t match its morphological appearance, plus it had indeed performed well, so he didn’t begrudge it for stepping in to appreciate it.
The Lion Avian Beast came under Lu Xuan’s palm, whimpering and roaring lowly, and Lu Xuan felt an intense joy from deep within it.
After the young beasts had been free to move around for a while, he activated the Illusory Spirit Jiao and summoned them over.
“Next, I’m going to pass on some cultivation instructions to you so that you can understand the various messages expressed by the sect cultivators.”
Although the young beasts were quite spiritually intelligent, they weren’t born knowing and needed to learn all the same.
Lu Xuan then instilled in them various commands that spirit beasts needed to follow to understand, guarding, patrolling, piggybacking, attacking, guarding, and so on.
During this time, most of the young beasts were able to understand Lu Xuan’s meaning very well, and were able to completely comprehend it in two or three times at most.
The only exception was the lion avian beast, which could barely understand the meaning of Lu Xuan’s words in the beginning, but as more and more information was instilled into it, its brain seemed to gradually become insufficient, and it rested in the low altitude in a muddled state.
It looked at the many companions beside it who quickly memorized and understood, a hint of gloom flashing in its eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’ll come over to fill you in sometime.”
Just as it was becoming less and less confident, a gentle voice entered his ears.
It looked up just in time to see the clear, bright eyes of Lu Xuan looking over.
The lesson ended quickly, and as Lu Xuan was about to leave, he suddenly felt something in his heart and stopped, as a ray of lightning swept past his body and landed on the far wall, stirring up countless tiny arcs of electricity.
Lu Xuan looked in the direction of the thunder light, only to see the four-winged Thunderstorm Tiger looking intently at him, and when he looked away, the thunder light on his body increased even more.
Then, the two pairs of broad fleshy wings gently flapped, and the entire body turned into a silver light that disappeared from Lu Xuan’s eyes.
“This Four-Winged Thunderstorm Tiger is quite intentional.”
A hint of a smile flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes as he recalled what the Four-Winged Thunderstorm Tiger had done on this day, as well as the information that he had detected about it after raising it earlier.
“It looks like it’s difficult to domesticate it by unusual means, so we must add some extra ingredients.”
