Chapter 496 – Caring for the Health of Spirit Beasts
Ignoring how much of a commotion the Concubine Hall Demonic Beast Blood and Flesh Quest had caused amongst the crowd of Inner Sect disciples, Lu Xuan returned to his cave on his own.
“I’ll just settle down and be a Spirit Plant Master.”
“Going out to hunt demonic beasts and whatnot is better left to the right people.”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed.
The task he had laid out was extremely demanding, a fourth grade demonic beast that already had the strength of a mid to late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if it was from a large clan, there was no way to have absolute confidence in killing it while safeguarding his own safety.
For early Foundation Establishment cultivators it would be even more difficult, and it would probably require several people to join forces in order to kill a fourth-grade demonic beast.
Therefore, he predicted that the number of fellow disciples who could come over and obtain the Sword Nurturing Gourd or Dust Cleansing Pill from him would not be too many.
Flesh Spirit God, Blood Sinner Flower, and other netherworld spirit plants, the issue of evil spirits’ subsequent cultivation did not need to be worried about at all.
“If it really isn’t enough, there are still light clusters to be opened!”
Lu Xuan came to the area of the spiritual field where the Jade Dew Fruit was planted.
The new batch of Jade Dew Fruits had already sprouted pale white shoots, and at the top of the shoots hung a drop of pure, flawless, transparent dewdrops, which gave off a refreshingly spiritual odor that was refreshing to the heart.
Lu Xuan’s spiritual energy surged, the clouds above the spiritual field changed, and in an instant, wisps of spiritual rain drifted down, dripping into the spiritual soil and slowly seeping into the Jade Dew Fruit’s spiritual plants that had only just sprouted their tips.
The Demon Ghost Vine followed behind, from time to time stretching out a gray tentacle-like vine, leaving a shallow gray slime trail next to the Jade Dew Fruit shoots.
“Deliciousness has to be raised from a young age.”
Lu Xuan was dumbfounded as he sensed the thoughts in the heart of this odd vine that was half demonic beast and half spiritual plant.
Although this Demon Ghost Vine did not really enjoy the spiritual plants in the cave, it had always been primed to see a favorite spiritual plant and could not help but come over to mark the mark.
The gray vine followed him all the way to the newly planted Red Flame Gourd not long ago.
Half an acre of light red hot soil, Red Flame Gourd spiritual seeds buried deep in it.
Lu Xuan sensed that the spirit seed was slowly absorbing the fire spirit breath from the inflamed soil, as if it contained a flame inside, ready to burst out at any moment.
He casually executed a fire-type low-grade technique, and under the subtle control of the Flame Making Skill, the flames condensed into the form of threads and merged into the Spirit Seed.
The Demonic Ghost Vine took advantage of Lu Xuan’s lack of attention as its gray vines furtively reached out to the inflamed earth.
The temperature of the Inferno Soil was much higher than ordinary Spirit Soil due to the Fire Spirit Breath it contained, and as soon as the tip of the vine touched the surface of the Inferno Soil, it was violently scalded and retracted at a speed several times faster than the original.
“I told you to be so greedy.”
Lu Xuan cursed with a laugh.
The Demonic Ghost Vine vines stretched and shifted, then, seemingly having a way to cope with the situation, they directly stretched upwards at the edge of the inflamed soil, crossing over the inflamed soil area and landing in the form of an archway over the Spirit Seed, slowly squeezing out a drop of gray mucus.
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but hold his forehead, the spiritual intelligence of this Demon Ghost Vine was quite out of his expectation, actually thinking of such a solution.
After cultivating all the spirit plants in the spirit field, Lu Xuan was planning to go back to his house to cultivate for a few moments when an acquaintance came over to pay a visit.
“Senior Brother Yang, long time no see, how have you been?”
Lu Xuan opened the formation outside of his cave and a warm smile appeared on his face when he saw the visitor.
“Senior Brother Lu, thanks for thinking of you, everything is fine.”
A middle-aged Confucian entered the cave, it was none other than Lu Xuan’s Yang Qingfeng who he had befriended a long time ago, with a mid Foundation Establishment cultivation level.
Lu Xuan had helped him solve the dietary problems of an Ink Scale Jiao in his possession, and finally discovered that the Ink Scale Jiao was a mixed-blooded Jiao Dragon, which didn’t love flesh and blood and loved spirit fruits.
Yang Qingfeng returned the favor by recommending Lu Xuan to the Sect’s True Legend Ge Park when the ancient beast Yin Yang Kunyu bred by him had a conception problem.
The friendship between the two was quite good.
“I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Lu, who was only an outer disciple at that time, would already have a mid Foundation Establishment cultivation now.” “After so many years, Senior Brother has progressed by leaps and bounds, but I’ve stayed put.”
Yang Qingfeng recalled the scene when he met Lu Xuan at that time, his heart was filled with emotions.
The obvious contrast between the two caused him to feel a sense of decadence.
“A fluke fluke, with the depths you’ve accumulated over the years, Senior Brother, I believe you’ll soon be able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile, if this middle-aged Confucian in front of him knew that he had already broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he might produce a heart demon on the spot.
He caught up with the Confucian scholar while guiding him into the small courtyard.
“I came over today because I have something to look for Master Lu.”
The middle-aged Confucianist opened the door and said to Lu Xuan after entering the small courtyard.
“Senior Brother Yang, please speak.”
Lu Xuan took out a bottle of Flowing Cloud Syrup gifted by the Fire Cloud Cave, poured a cup full and handed it to the middle-aged Confucian.
“Did Senior Brother release a mission to collect the blood and flesh of a fourth grade demonic beast in the Hall of Common Affairs today?”
“Indeed.”
Lu Xuan nodded his head in acknowledgement.
“Truth be told, I have a great interest in that Dust Cleansing Pill in Senior Brother’s hands, and would like to obtain one to purify the tainted breath in my body and add a hint of success in breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
“After knowing about this, I immediately contacted many of my acquaintances and exchanged three relatively intact demonic beast corpses from a few fellow disciples who had just returned to the sect not long ago.”
Yang Qingfeng flicked one hand, three fourth grade demonic beast corpses landed in the small courtyard, the surface was each covered with a thin layer of frost, under the spiritual sense, one could still feel the vigorous vitality of the flesh and blood inside.
“I don’t know whether these three demonic beasts can be exchanged for a Dust Cleansing Dan in the hands of senior brother?”
Yang Qingfeng asked with a somewhat apprehensive expression.
“There’s no problem, if Senior Brother Yang still wants to exchange for a Dust Cleansing Pill or other treasures on the quest content in the future, he can directly come over to me.”
Lu Xuan took out an elixir with a lingering clear qi and handed it to the middle-aged Confucian.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, but these three fourth grade demonic beasts have already cost me quite a bit of my fortune, so exchanging for one is already satisfying.”
Yang Qingfeng received the Dust Cleansing Pill and said with a satisfied expression.
“By the way, Senior Brother Lu, you haven’t come to the Thousand Dragon Lake for a long time, many of your fellow disciples in the Thousand Dragon Lake miss the days when you used to give medical checkups to the scaly dragons that they bred.”
He pondered for a moment and said to Lu Xuan.
“Senior brother neglected, before, I have been staying in the blessed land, many things are wrapped up, I can’t find the time to come, recently, I will definitely come over, and give the auger dragons in the hands of all the fellow disciples a checkup.”
Lu Xuan didn’t expect Yang Qingfeng to take the initiative and couldn’t wait for this in his heart.
“Then, many thanks to Senior Brother Lu.”
“Senior Brother already has a mid Foundation Establishment cultivation level, and has a great reputation within the sect, but he is still willing to go out of his way to draw blood and check the bodies of those sinful animals, which makes Senior Brother me really admire him.”
Yang Qingfeng looked solemn and said with an arch.
“No way.”
Lu Xuan laughed sagely.
“Those Jiao dragons and chi dragons in the Thousand Dragon Lake all belong to the sect, and as a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s cultivators with some skills in spiritual plants and animals, I naturally have to take good care of the health of the sect’s spiritual animals.”
