Chapter 156 – Anorexic Third Grade Ink Scale Jiao

Chapter 156 – Anorexic Third Grade Ink Scale Jiao
It hadn’t been long since he put in the eight Cryptic Winged Cicada Insect Eggs, Lu Xuan sensed that the Xuan Insect Vine Spirit Seed in the Spirit Soil had changed tremendously.

It had been on standby all this while and it quickly erupted with vigorous and exuberant vitality, the parts of the Spirit Seed that were in contact with the bug eggs seemed to be slowly melting, the Cryptic-Winged Cicada Bug Eggs gradually sinking, a portion of them seeming to be embedded in the Xuan Bug Vine Spirit Seed.

Lu Xuan’s mind coalesced on the insect egg within the surface layer of the spirit soil.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Hidden-winged Cicada, a first grade demonic insect, with an extremely strong concealment ability in its full body, as well as a certain ability to attack with sound waves.]

[In a symbiotic state with the Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant Xuan Bug Vine.]

[It feels so good to fly with a big brother!

“A special spirit secreted by a fourth-grade spiritual plant, used to feed a first-grade demonic insect, is truly a carry-fly.”

Lu Xuan sighed as he looked at the Xuan Insect Vine Spirit Seed and the Hidden Winged Cicada Insect Egg that were almost fused together.

He proceeded to patrol the spirit field once more, carefully tending and cultivating all the spirit plants in the field.

Immediately afterward, he took the free Spirit Crane and arrived in front of the Thousand Dragon Lake Stone House.

He hadn’t stopped at the task of raising augur dragons, after all, this task was relatively easy, and the dozens of augur dragons he had raised were already on the right track, so there was no need for him to bother with coaching them, patiently waiting for the augur dragons to break through and harvesting the sword seals would be enough.

Although he occasionally missed work, Huang Yuan, who managed the scaly dragons, didn’t have much of an opinion, much less the idea of withholding Lu Xuan’s sword seals.

There was no way, in front of the strength of the pin crown, a little overstepping was nothing at all.

These scaly dragons raised by Lu Xuan were all well-fed and well-trained, leaving a fierce reputation in the nearby waters.

Once a situation arose where they were competing with each other for territory and resources, these dozens of Jiao Dragons would swarm up to their opponents, beating them to a crushing defeat.

In the face of such tactics, the surrounding Jiao Dragons did not have the slightest way to deal with it; after all, even Jiao Dragons bred by the same cultivator were unable to work in unison, not to mention those that were not from the same family.
In just over three months, among the jiao dragons bred by Lu Xuan, a second grade ice chi dragon had already been promoted to the third grade, and another four first grade jiao dragon pythons had been promoted to the second grade, with a breakthrough rate that was much higher than the average.

In the face of such a level of rearing, Huang Yuan’s tolerance expanded infinitely, and he turned a blind eye when a cultivator came over to report the excessive behavior of the scaly dragons belonging to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan arrived at the Thousand Dragon Lake stone house, took the demonic beast meat he had specially ordered, and came to the high platform.

Below, dozens of Jiao Dragons, Pythons, and Fey Boas stayed peacefully in a fixed area, slightly holding their heads high as they looked at Lu Xuan, their eyes filled with anticipation.

“Good performance, let’s start the meal right away.”

Lu Xuan praised them in a breezy manner, took out a piece of demonic beast meat and threw it in front of a specially chosen Jiao dragon.

When the nearby Jiao dragon heard the sound of the demon beast meat falling into the water, it didn’t even look at it, showing how successful Lu Xuan’s conditioning had been some time ago.

After all the Jiao dragons had finished their meals, Lu Xuan was about to leave when suddenly, a strange aura came from the fiercest two-headed Jiao dragon.

In the middle of its two heads, a sarcoma was constantly protruding out, growing larger and larger in size, and the two heads of the two-headed Jiao dragon hissed in agony, seemingly enduring great pain.

“Is this about to be promoted?”

Lu Xuan’s mind condensed on the Two-Headed Jiao Dragon, instantly learning that this was just a necessary path for it to advance to the third grade.

The flesh tumor swelled rapidly, and the two heads next to it quickly faded a lot.

With a bang, the sarcoma burst out of the Two-Headed Jiao Dragon’s scale armor, and a much smaller head burrowed out, squeezing between the two heads in a bloody mess.

“Success.”

After all, after raising it for such a long period of time, it was more or less affectionate, Lu Xuan felt heartfelt joy for the Two-Headed Jiao Dragon.

He hurriedly took out a thin white jade bottle and swirled it in a circle along the twin-headed, no, three-headed Jiao dragon’s newborn head, filling it with freshly baked third grade Jiao dragon blood.

“Third grade Jiao dragon blood, it can satiate the Jiao vine.”

He sighed as he put the blood into his storage bag.

“Senior Brother Lu, congratulations, another augur under your command has been promoted to third grade!” Not long had passed since the promotion of the two-headed Jiao dragon, Huang Yuan rushed over with a smile on his face, not knowing if he had seen Lu Xuan’s move to take the third grade Jiao dragon blood.

Lu Xuan had already worded it accordingly anyway, so he didn’t take it to heart and said with the same smile towards Huang Yuan.

“Many thanks, Senior Brother Huang, how did it happen to be so coincidental that I stumbled upon this Two-Headed Jiao Dragon breaking through the Third Grade?”

“Hahaha! I won’t hide it from Senior Brother Lu, I’ve long been paying close attention to this Twin-Headed Jiao Dragon of yours, knowing that it’s only a hair’s breadth away from promotion.”

“As expected, it quickly and smoothly broke through to third grade augur.”

“Together with the ice chi dragon from before, there are already two augur dragons belonging to Senior Brother Lu that have been promoted to the third grade stage.”

“This is quite a rare achievement, one must know that quite a few of the scaly dragon pythons and the like under fellow disciples would not see a single second-ranked breakthrough to the third-ranked stage until the end of their breeding.”

Huang Yuan sighed with emotion, looking at the three-headed scaly dragon on the surface of the water that hadn’t left yet, his eyes satisfied.

The newly grown head of the three-headed Jiao dragon looked a bit timid and cowardly, completely lacking the ferocity and violence of the first two, and only revealed a sense of affection when looking towards Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan raised his hand towards the three scaly dragons, the corner of his mouth hooked up.

“Go on, cultivate well, don’t keep going to fight with other of your kind when you go to a new place, with your current strength, beating them won’t be as easy as it was before.

Lastly, I look forward to the moment when I can see you grow more heads.”

“Aang~”

The three-headed auger dragon let out a low roar and swam extremely fast towards the depths of the Thousand Dragon Lake.

Lu Xuan waited for his figure to completely disappear from his field of vision before withdrawing his sight, satisfied in his heart.

“Another fifty sword seals in hand, equivalent to the reward of a decent quest, what spirit species should I choose?”

“Senior Brother Lu, there happens to be something I want to find you about.”

Huang Yuan, who was on the side, interrupted Lu Xuan’s unrestrained thoughts.

“Senior brother, please speak.”

“It’s like this, as you are well aware, Senior Brother Lu, there are still quite a few third grade and above scaly dragons in the Thousand Dragon Lake, which are respectively raised by the Foundation Establishment Master Uncles.”

“Among them, one of the senior uncles has a third grade Ink Scale Jiao under his command, with a very good bloodline inheritance that is expected to break through to a fifth grade Jiao dragon.”

“However, recently that Ink Scale Jiao has developed an anorexia problem, and the problem is getting more and more serious, not only does it consume a smaller portion of demonic beast meat, but it will even vomit, greatly affecting the normal growth of the Ink Scale Jiao.”

“I know that Master Lu has a unique skill in raising scaly augers, whether it’s ordering recipes for them or conditioning them, which are vicious by nature, to be obedient, it’s not an easy thing to do.”

“The fact that a large number of Jiao Dragons and Pythons have been promoted and broken through is the best proof of this.”

“Therefore, I have pushed you, Master Lu, in front of that senior uncle in the hope that Master Lu can go over and take a look.”

Huang Yuan said with some apprehension, a problem with a third grade Jiao dragon was not something that he, a cultivator at the Qi Practicing Stage, could intervene in, but Lu Xuan’s battle results were just too astonishing, causing him to have a few more reveries.

If he really succeeded in solving the problem of the Ink Scale Jiao, Lu Xuan would naturally take a lot of credit for it, and he, Huang Yuan, as the recommender, would naturally also have a lot of credit.

“I can go over and take a look, but I don’t dare to guarantee that it will definitely succeed.”

Lu Xuan hesitated and said.

Although he was able to grasp the instant state of demonic beasts through breeding, he could not guarantee anything in front of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a Third Grade Jiao Dragon.

“Alright, Senior Brother Lu please follow me.”

Huang Yuan sniffed and said in surprise.
