Chapter 168: Chapter 166: Check It For Me Too i
Translator: 549690339 —
Lu Xuan shelved his thoughts, focusing on the Flood Dragon Vine in his hand. “I remember obtaining a small section of the Flood Dragon Vine from the black market, which I then successfully cultivated into a mature plant.” “Considering that, 1 can cut a portion from this Flood Dragon Vine and cultivate a new one.”
“Unfortunate, I can only utilize a small part from each end; otherwise, I could slice this vine into hundreds, even thousands of pieces and plant them fervently for rewards…”
He indulged in this fantasy within his heart.
With a single thought, the Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet, which had been dwelling within his Dantian, trembled slightly. Several strands of black Sword Qi shot out from his body in an instant, easily severing both ends of the Flood Dragon Vine.
The cut section was not long, only about three inches each.
Taking the two severed pieces of the Flood Dragon Vine, Lu Xuan arrived at the Spirit Field, found an empty space, used the Earth Pulling Technique, and planted them separately.
“What comes from the earth returns to the earth…”
“I’m not sure if planting a high-quality section of the Flood Dragon Vine will affect its final maturity.”
Lu Xuan inspected the Spirit Field once more. After satisfying the specific needs of each Spirit Plant, he returned to his room and immersed himself in contemplating the profound mysteries of the “Transforming Dragon in the Void” (Upper chapter).
The next day, after checking the state of all the Spirit Plants, he boarded a
Spirit Crane and went to the Thousand Dragon Lake Stone House.
He fetched the Demon Beast Meat and placed it on the wooden platform.
The remaining dozens of Jiaolong Pythons were waiting eagerly, sitting quietly in their own area, their eyes filled with joy while looking at Lu Xuan on the high platform.
Having been raised for so long, these Jiaolong Pythons were most familiar with the changes in their own bodies and the changes in their companions.
Among the companions, there were Ice Chi and Two-headed Jiao Dragons that have elevated to third-grade, and several others who have advanced from first-grade to second-grade. The effectiveness of Lu Xuan’s cultivation was evident.
Those not yet promoted also very realistically sensed alterations in their own aura. Their spiritual power grew increasingly strong, and their aura became more condensed and enduring. Let alone anything else, dealing with the Jiaolong Pythons competing for territory and resources became significantly easier.
Lu Xuan quickly took out tailor-made Demon Beast Meat from a large wooden barrel and accurately threw it into the area where each Jiaolong Python was located.
After they finished eating, Lu Xuan cleared his throat and spoke.
“Nearly half a year has passed in a blink of an eye and I am very gratified by your growth and changes during this time.”
Some of the Jiaolong have already broken through to new levels, the rest of you are also remarkable, it’s just a matter of time.”
“In order to ensure your healthy growth, I have decided to conduct another blood check on you. Any objections?”
The Jiaolong Pythons, which had been tamed by Lu Xuan, shook their heads in unison, expressing no objections at all.
Lu Xuan descended, and a Jiaolong Python approached him, relaxing its body and scales as much as possible to facilitate Lu Xuan’s use of the Red Threaded Needle.
In a stream of hot and vibrant blood that spurted out, Lu Xuan collected the blood in a white jade bottle, tightly sealed the top, put it into the storage bag and took out a new one.
“Next one.”
The Jiaolong Pythons queued in an orderly fashion to donate blood.
“Junior Brother Lu, are you conducting checks on the Jiaolong you’re raising again?”
Huang Yuan floated to Lu Xuan’s side with a smile on his face, having arrived at some point.
“Yes, I’m conducting a routine check to see if there are any hidden diseases or Evil Invasion Bugs invading their bodies. It’s for the health of these little Jiaoling.”
Lu Xuan explained to Huang Yuan without stopping his task.
“Only a disciple like you, exhaustive in detail and dedicated, can raise such excellent Jiaolong.”
Huang Yuan sighed with admiration.
“It’s my duty.”
Lu Xuan replied unabashedly.
He chatted leisurely with Huang Yuan while expertly drawing blood.
He learned from Huang Yuan that the Ink-Scaled Jiao that had been refusing to eat was now in much better shape.
“By the way, Junior Brother Lu, aren’t you skilled at planting Spirit Plants? Uncle Yang asked me to ask you if you have any Spirit Fruit suitable for the Ink-Scaled Jiao’s daily consumption. If you have any, he’s willing to buy it from you at a high price.”
Huang Yuan quietly asked Lu Xuan.
“Spirit Fruit suitable for the Ink-Scaled Jiao? I do have some in stock, but they
are commonly sold by weight. Only the second-grade Ice Luo Fruit is presentable, but it’s available in limited quantity and needs some more time before maturation.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself and then responded.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have any Spirit Fruit suitable for the third-grade Ink-Scaled Jiao.”
When all the Jiaolong Pythons had finished donating blood, the two returned to the stone house.
In the stone house, several outer sect disciples were sitting and whispering about something. Seeing the two enter, they all showed warm smiles.
“Brother Huang, Junior Brother Lu.”
“Junior Brother Lu, you took longer than usual this time, did a Jiaolong Python advance again?”
“That’s for sure, Junior Brother Lu’s training method is so effective, helping
them advance is as easy as eating and drinking.”
“All of you are too kind. There’s no Jiaolong advancing this time. I just wanted
to conduct a check-up on them which took up quite a bit of time.”
Lu Xuan greeted them warmly.
Since he started raising Jiaolang Pythons at the Thousand Dragon Lake, people s attitudes towards him had changed several times.
Initially, they treated him as an equal since they were all disciples of the same sect.
Soon after Lu Xuan had tamed all the Jiaolong’s, they had a distinct advantage when dealing with other aquatic Jiaolang Pythons, often causing some of the Jiaolang Pythons to get injured.
The people naturally held a lot of resentment towards Lu Xuan, but they had no evidence to prove that he had ordered the attacks, so they could only blame their Jiaolong for lack of cohesion. They had no choice but to bury their resentment deep in their hearts.
As soon as Lu Xuan’s Jiaolong started to progress regularly, everyone was filled with envy. They each tried to copy Lu Xuan but to no avail as they didn’t have the ability to pinpoint the needs of their Jiaolong.
Lastly, when they learned that Lu Xuan had solved a significant problem for the Foundation Establishment Uncle, all their resentment and jealousy evaporated.
“What did you check, junior brother?” a cultivator asked, puzzled.
Only Huang Yuan was present last time for the large blood draw, and Lu Xuan was not famous then, so no one had noticed.
“I just drew some blood and took it back for verification to see if there are any hidden problems.”
Lu Xuan said, placing the bucket in the corner with a relaxed smile.
“I see.”
Everyone nodded, deep in thought.
■could this be the reason why the Jiaolongs under his care progress so quickly?’ They all thought something similar.
Suddenly, an attractive young cultivator seemed to make a decision. He stepped forward, bowed to Lu Xuan, and said,
“Junior Brother Lu, please check mine as well!”
This triggered a chain reaction, with the remaining people not wanting to miss
out on a great opportunity, they all bowed in unison.
“Junior Brother Lu, please check my Jiaolongs as well!”
If there’s any problem, please just say it.”
“I have thick blood, you can draw as much as you like!”
