“Another seventh-rank potential new powerhouse!”
Lu Xuan looked at the White Jade Monkey who was enjoying the crispy yet tender grilled fish, a warm and genuine smile spread across his face.
“Have you had enough? There’s more if you want.”
He softly spoke to the White Jade Sky Monkey.
The Cloud Leopard, who was also eating fish, raised its head upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, its green pupils somewhat perplexed as they looked at him.
It seemed to have sensed an aura it recognized.
What it received in return was a stern glare from Lu Xuan.
With its high spiritual intelligence, the White Jade Sky Monkey looked at Lu Xuan with eyes as beautiful and glossy as rubies. Upon receiving his confirmation, it moved towards the fragrant grilled fish.
Lu Xuan cut off a piece with his Slivered Silver Blade and handed it to the White Jade Monkey.
The little monkey took it with both hands, bowed its head and slowly walked behind the Mystical Sky White Luan, enjoying its delicacy meticulously.
“Such a good little creature…”
Lu Xuan praised.
“For a creature so well-behaved, it’s timid and shy, quite different from its described image of being fierce, combative and easily irritated,” he couldn’t help but wonder.
Somewhere not too far, the Mystical Sky White Luan elegantly strutted over to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan saw the longing in its black-and-white eyes, cut off a piece of grilled fish and tossed it to the Luan Bird.
“You’re quite a loyal one, aren’t you? You promised to bring a companion over last time and you actually did,” Lu Xuan laughingly said.
After the grilled fish was completely devoured, he took out a piece of Crab Spirit Paste from his storage bag as a dessert.
He cut it into two, one for the two little ones and the other for the Luan Bird and the White Jade Monkey.
“I’m not sure about the sect’s way of raising guardian spirit beasts, whether they’re let roam freely or someone specifically takes care of them.”
“But even if a cultivator specially raises them, they’d probably just feed them specific spirit fruits or raw demon beast materials.
“Unlike me, who has all kinds of cooking methods for demon beast meat; braising, boiling, frying, grilling… there’s always something new.”
“On top of that, there’s a variety of tasty spirit fruits and assorted rare treasures that I obtain from the spiritual light clusters.”
“With all these continuous plans in action, they’d surely be left in a daze and their divine souls will be captivated,” He thought, looking pleased as he watched the two guardian beasts slowly savoring the Crab Spirit Paste.
“Ordinary disciples usually choose powerful cultivators with profound backgrounds as their support. They’d try everyway to curry favor, but the effects would be minimal and sometimes even fruitless.”
“Unlike me, I took a different path. I had noticed the potential in spirit beasts early on. During their weakest and most innocent age, I used all sorts of delicious food to win over their hearts, establishing deep emotions.”
“It’s easy, simple and effective.” Lu Xuan thought, well pleased with himself.
After finishing the Crab Spirit Paste, the Mystical Sky White Luan and the White Jade Sky Monkey approached Lu Xuan to express their gratitude.
Immediately, the Mystical Sky White Luan turned into a beam of fluctuating light and passed directly through the Hidden Fog Maze Array.
When Lu Xuan saw the White Jade Monkey about to activate the formation to leave and grabbed the three white hairs on its head, a flash of red crossed its ruby-like eyes. It then dashed directly towards the dense fog, leaving behind a hole similar in size to its own body.
“Was that a little too crude?”
Lu Xuan checked the Array Plate and found that although it was broken with brute force, it wasn’t damaged too much. It was as if the formation hadn’t had the chance to react when the White Jade Sky Monkey broke through it.
In a matter of moments, the hole that the little monkey made was filled by the dense fog and seemed as if it had never existed.
After tidying up the yard, Lu Xuan returned to his room with the intention of cultivating. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath fixed in the ground by the Second Rank Red Flame Sword.
“It’s been in there for so long, I wonder how well the Red Flame Sword has been nourished by the scabbard.”
A thought popped in his mind, he grabbed the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, held the fiery red hilt of the Red Flame Sword, and slowly pulled it out.
A clear sword sound echoed.
Thick Spiritual Energy transformed into lava-red magma, continued to flow out as the sword was drawn, lingering in the air.
The Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath quivered slightly, seemingly uncomfortable with the sudden extraction of the massive rod it had housed for so long.
Lu Xuan carefully examined the Second Rank Red Flame Sword in his hands.
Compared to when it was initially placed into the scabbard, after being tempered for so long, the fiery blade now radiated with brilliant spiritual light. Its flame-red patterns became denser and more complex and seemed to move subtly.
Guided by his Spiritual Sense, on one thought the Red Flame Sword turned into a fiery red stream and pierced through a massive rock. The entrance was scorched black, showing its terrifying burning power.
“The tempering effect is indeed good, I’ll continue to put it in and nurture it.”
Satisfied, Lu Xuan aimed the tip of the sword at the opening of the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, disregarding the sheath’s resistance, and forcefully inserted the entire sword into it.
“Sure enough, after the first time, the second insertion is much easier.”
He looked at the ancient sword sheath that completely enveloped the Red Flame Sword and thought to himself.
In the following period, he spent most of his time cultivating Spirit Plants and tilling Spiritual Fields.
Planting numerous new types of Spirit Plants on the mountain peak consumed more of his energy, but after advancing to the Foundation Establishment, he had abundant spiritual power to handle these numerous plants.
In his spare time, he practiced a few newly gained Cultivation Techniques. Due to his average aptitude, progress was slow, but Lu Xuan was not anxious or impatient.
It’s excellent if his training is successful. If it’s not, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, he can get all kinds of rewards from the Spirit Plant Sphere, even some not inferior to Sect Cultivation Techniques.
One day, as he was cultivating Spirit Plants, a familiar clear voice sounded from outside the courtyard.
“Junior Brother Lu, are you home?”
“Elder Brother Yang, lam.”
Like a wisp of white smoke, Lu Xuan quickly floated down the mountain, controlling the Array, the dense fog dispersed, revealing a person’s figure.
It was the middle-aged scholar who had helped solve the Ink-Scaled Jiao’s feeding problem at the Qi Practicing Stage. When Lu Xuan broke through, he generously gave him a Fire Jiao Dragon’s Egg.
“Junior Brother Lu, I haven’t seen you for a while. Your cultivation seems to have stabilized a lot.”
“Elder Brother, you flatter me. I have been staying on the mountain peak, cultivating diligently, and only then have I achieved a little progress.”
Lu Xuan replied casually, the Spirit Firefly Grass that he had picked earlier, although it had a huge disparity in rank, resulting in less experience, had still brought him nearly two and a half years of cultivation. It completely cemented his Foundation Establishment first-term progress.
“How is the hatching of the Jiao Dragon Egg going?”
The middle-aged scholar, walking alongside Lu Xuan, asked with a smile.
“Everything’s going smoothly. It won’t be long before it hatches.”
“That’s good.”
“Junior Brother Lu, I came here because I have a matter to ask of you.”
“A Sect friend of mine recently encountered a problem concerning a Spirit Beast.”
“He has a pair of rare twin Ancient Exotic Beasts. They are currently in their breeding phase, but he has been unable to accommodate the beasts’ breeding conditions for a long time now, despite trying many solutions.”
“I noticed that you, Junior Brother Lu, have an innate skill in this area, so I thought I’d invite you to take a look.”
“Okay, it’s a Spirit Beast breeding problem again. I’m becoming a Beast Doctor Genius.”
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
After solving the issue of the Taming Beast Hall’s Spiritual Crane’s decreased birth rate, there was now the problem of special Exotic Beasts being unable to breed.
Moreover, judging by the attitude and tone of the middle-aged scholar, Yang Qing Feng, this matter was definitely unusual.
