“This…”
Seeing the people like this, Lu Xuan showed a hesitant look on his face. He seemed hesitant on the outside, but inside he was overjoyed.
“Two Flood Dragon Vines, essence blood required for cultivation of the ‘Transforming Dragon in the Void1, were just what I needed. I was worried that the Jiaolong Python and the Strange Serpent Hornless Dragon I have weren’t enough. Isn’t someone just delivering to my doorstep?”
Just as he was about to agree, Huang Yuan, standing aside, saw Lu Xuan’s hesitation. Thinking that he was too modest to refuse his fellow sect members, he stepped forward with a stern tone:
“What are you all doing? Banding together to force a fellow disciple to do things for you?”
“Junior Brother Lu’s already having a hard enough time caring for the Jiao Dragon in his hands, how could he possibly handle over two hundred Jiaolong Pythons you all have?”
“No, Brother Huang, I can.”
Upon hearing the number two hundred, Lu Xuan’s eyes lit up faintly.
“Just two hundred Jiaolong Pythons, what reason does Lu Someone have to fear!”
Since Huang Yuan had charge over these waters and its Jiaolong Pythons, he held a certain authority. His reprimanding made them instantly cool down, realizing their inappropriate behavior.
“In that case, Junior Brother Lu, I won’t make you work for free. I’ll pay you two Spirit Stones for each Jiao Dragon you examine for me. If you find any problems, twenty Spirit Stones for each one. How does that sound?” Others followed suit with the same offer. Trading dozens of Spirit Stones to ensure the wellbeing and successful growth of their Jiaolong Pythons was completely within their acceptable range.
“Two Spirit Stones per python, no less than two hundred Jiaolong Pythons In other words, they’re giving me Jiaolong Essence Blood and, at the same time, at least four hundred Spirit Stones?”
Lu Xuan calculated his profits briefly. Even with the sturdy body he cultivated using the ‘Luili Bone Smelting Technique’, he nearly staggered from the sheer excitement and joy he felt.
He took a deep breath, his expression resolute.
“Since all of my fellow disciples think so highly of me, it would be pretentious of me to hesitate further. I will boldly offer to examine the Jiaolong Pythons in your hands and extract their blood.”
“Thank you, Junior Brother Lu!”
“We appreciate it!”
Their faces lit up with joy. Without any delay, Lu Xuan spoke to the handsome young cultivator who spoke first:
‘Let’s start with your Jiao Dragons.”
“But there are two points we need to clarify first.”
“Firstly, I have never dealt with the Jiao Dragons in your hands before, so they might become violent when I extract their blood. At that time, you’ll need to control them with your Imitation Dragon Binding Ring to prevent any accidents.”
“Secondly, I need some Demon Beast Meat. Not too much, just enough.” “Before the blood extraction, I’ll feed them a little demon beast meat in order to narrow the gap between us, so the blood extraction can be easier.” Since he was getting Jiaolong Essence Blood and earning Spirit Stones at the same time, he wouldn’t cut corners. Although the blood extraction was just an excuse, he would still try his best to fulfill his responsibility to examine the dragons.
By feeding the Jiaolong Pythons Demon Beast Meat, he could also notice their current state and discover any issues, if there were any.
The two conditions were not demanding. The handsome, young cultivator nodded in agreement:
“Of course.”
After a brief preparation, they went to the area where the young cultivator’s Jiao Dragons were. Huang Yuan and the others had nothing to do, and driven by curiosity, decided to follow them.
Upon reaching the destination, the young cultivator summoned the Jiaolong Pythons he controlled.
Suddenly, a golden bracelet in his hand lighted up, and a small dragon shadow shot out, transforming into dozens of varying gold rings in the air, tightly locked onto the upper bodies of many Jiao Dragons.
“This is the consequence of not taming them. These Jiaolong Pythons don’t listen to the same sect disciple in front of them at all. They are forcibly confined and their blood is forcibly drawn.”
“Unlike the Jiaolong Pythons I’ve raised, which willingly offer their blood.” The young cultivator circulated his spiritual power, controlling a golden ring and forcibly dragging a Jiaolong Python over to them.
Lu Xuan picked up a piece of demon beast meat the size of a fist and brought it
to the mouth of the Jiaolong.
The Jiaolong swallowed it in one gulp.
Lu Xuan’s mind focused on it and immediately, a thought flashed through his mind.
“There’s no problem, it’s safe to draw blood now.”
The red threaded needle transformed into a ray of red light, quickly stabbed into the soft abdomen of the Jiaolong.
A stream of blood gushed from the wound, caught spotlessly by Lu Xuan who was ready in advance.
He swirled the entrance of the bottle, pretending to observe it, then put the jade bottle into the storage bag, and staged another check-up on every part of Jiaolong’s body.
There’s no problem at all. Your Jiaolong is very healthy Brother Huang, as long as it is taken care of properly, it will definitely succeed in advancing.” He said with a smile looking at the handsome young cultivator who was gazing at him expectantly.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
The young man breathed a sigh of relief.
The golden ring on the Jiaolong’s body disappeared instantly. Its huge tail whipped the water surface, stirring up waves, and it dived into the water.
The two of them cooperated to bring the next giant python over to them.
Lu Xuan followed the process as before, and the storage bag became increasingly filled with jade bottles filled with Jiaolong essence blood.
“Hmm?”
When it came to a pale-white Jiaolong, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but let out a light gasp.
After feeding it demon beast meat, a thought flashed through his mind, and information about the pale-white Jiaolong was acquired by Lu Xuan in an instant.
“Water Charm Dragon, Tier-2 demonic beast. Among its kind its speed in the water is at the forefront, and it naturally controls several kinds of water-based formula methods.”
“It is infested with a strange fish in its abdomen.”
Eating my flesh, draining my blood, the crime deserves death!”
“There really is a problem with a Jiaolong?”
Lu Xuan looked surprised.
“Junior Brother Lu, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?” The young cultivator asked with concern. This Water Charm Dragon was a Tier-2 demonic beast with outstanding talent, and it was one of the most hopeful Jiaolong Pythons he bred to break through to third grade.
“Something seems off, let’s draw blood first and check.”
Since it had already become a fixed pattern, naturally, Lu Xuan had to, as usual, draw a bottle of essence blood from the Water Charm Dragon then carefully examined every part of its body, especially the abdomen that was mentioned in the information. He used his spiritual sense to check each small part.
“Brother Huang, please pay attention to the imitation Dragon Binding Ring in your hand next, and control this Jiaolong properly.”
He said solemnly to the young cultivator.
Then he turned his head to look at the Water Charm Dragon, whose eyes were filled with hidden pain and helplessness, and spoke softly:
“I am drawing your essence blood, to help you solve your issue.”
“Next, I will cut open your abdomen, and pull out the thing inside for you. But you also need to cooperate well, understand?”
Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the controlled Water Charm Dragon nodded its head forcefully, and a ray of hope appeared in its eyes.
People like Huang Yuan and others who were around saw something unusual happening, they all gathered around in a hurry, standing not far away, looking worriedly at Lu Xuan’s side.
The problem of the Jiaolong in the Thousand Dragon Lake hit close to home for other cultivators who also kept Jiaolong pythons.
As for Huang Yuan, needless to say, he was in charge of managing the Jiaolong demon beast in this area of water, should any issue occur, he would be the one held accountable..
