“Line up, line up!”
“One at a time!”
“Keep your Flood Dragons well-behaved, don’t let them cause trouble and delay Uncle Lu’s time.”
Within the Thousand Dragon Lake.
Several hundred Jiaolong Pythons obediently lined up in rows with a cultivator standing guard at each interval, the prepared Imitation Dragon Binding Ring Tools at the ready, in case the Flood Dragons under their command become restless.
To save Lu Xuan’s time, Huang Yuan actively called upon his fellow cultivators from other parts of Money Thousand Dragons Lake, inviting them to bring their Jiaolong Pythons for a health check-up.
A Communication Talisman flew to Huang Yuan, he listened to the message recorded on it with a furrowed brow.
“Junior Brother Zhang, I’ll tell you again, Uncle Lu is taking time out of his busy schedule to help examine the Flood Dragons, he won’t have much time to spare for you.”
“Is your alchemy more important than this? If something were to happen to the Jiaolong Pythons you’re raising in the future, don’t blame me for not giving you a heads up.”
He left a few words on the Communication Talisman, opened his palm, and allowed it to shuttle off into the mountains.
“Really now, he doesn’t take advantage of such a good opportunity. Even if his alchemy fails, he can retry immediately. But if the Jiaolong Pythons don’t get a check-up, who knows when Uncle Lu will be free again.”
Muttering to himself, Huang Yuan walked to the front of the line, looking at Lu Xuan whose fingers were moving swiftly, examining the Jiaolong Python, admiration flashed in his eyes.
Here, eat a piece of meat, don’t be nervous, we’re only taking a little blood.”
Lu Xuan spoke softly to the jet-black Flood Dragon in front of him.
Of course, examining the Jiaolong Pythons in the Thousand Dragon Lake was out of genuine concern for their health. As for drawing blood, it was just a simple matter of course.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, his Foundation Establishment Realm spiritual sense rapidly scanned every muscle, flesh, and bone of the Jiaolong Python.
After confirming that there were no issues, with a thought, a Red Needle penetrated through the scale armor of the Jiaolong, and a jet of hot blood sprayed out from the hole.
All of it rushed into a white jade thin-necked bottle that Lu Xuan had prepared in advance, not wasting a drop.
The amount he took compared to the total blood volume of the Jiaolong wasn’t considerable, it just needed a few days of rest to fully recover.
Compared to its own health, this bit of essence blood wasn’t much.
Despite using the same familiar red threaded needle as the last blood-drawing examination, Lu Xuan’s spiritual power and spiritual sense had both become more than ten times stronger.
Having also saved some rush hour time, the blood-drawing process was extremely efficient. What used to take several days to draw blood from the at the periphery of the lake could now be accomplished in half a day.
During the examination process, no Hidden Scaled Fish-like existences were found. Just in a few young drakes, parasitic demonic bugs were detected hiding within, apart from pointing out some latent diseases left behind by the Flood Dragons after fighting over food and territory.
Seeing him pulling out long parasitic demonic bugs from the flesh and blood of the Jiaolong, everyone present felt their trip had been worthwhile, and their hearts filled with gratitude.
“Junior Brother Lu, please wait.”
After examining all the Jiaolong Pythons, just as Lu Xuan was about to leave, a clear sound came from behind.
Lu Xuan turned to look and saw an elegant scholar looking at him with a smile. He observed the scholar’s cultivation level with his Spiritual Sense, finding both of them similar, both at the Foundation Establishment First-term Realm.
“May I know what Elder Brother needs?”
Lu Xuan asked with curiosity.
“lam Tao Zhi Qing. I have heard about your accomplishments in the path of Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast.”
“Today, I heard that you came to help the Outer Sect Disciples examine the health conditions of their Food Dragons, so I came by for a look.”
“I keep some Flood Dragon Demon Beasts in the heart of the Thousand Dragon Lake. Most are third and fourth-grade. Naturally, I called to you as I wish for you to examine them.”
The elegant scholar slowly said.
“Great! The clientele just got upgraded!”
Lu Xuan was jubilant inside but didn’t betray any emotion on his face.
The Jiaolong Pythons he had just checked were all of First and Second Grade realm, and he had been quite satisfied. Unexpectedly, Jiaolongs of the Third and Fourth Grade realm took the initiative to come to him.
“The Blood Scourge Flower is in for a feast.”
He muttered to himself, then smiled at Tao Zhi Qing.
‘If Elder Brother Tao invites me, I naturally cannot refuse. Please lead the way Elder Brother.” ’
“Haha, I’ve taken note of this favor, Junior Brother Lu.”
The literary gentleman laughed heartily, leading Lu Xuan into the central zone of Thousand Dragon Lake.
The Thousand Dragon Lake stretched for hundreds of miles. The First and Second Rank Jiaolong Pythons that Huang Yuan and others had raised lived in the outer ring. After they break through and advanced, they could move into the inner lake for cultivation.
Lu Xuan had solved the problem of the Ink-Scaled Jiao’s diet long ago. It was kept by Yang Qing Feng, a Foundation Establishment Mid-term Realm cultivator, on a small island in the middle of the lake.
“Does Elder Brother Tao raise many jiaolongs in the inner lake?”
While using his sword for flying, Lu Xuan curiously asked the literary gentleman.
“Not many, just over ten, mainly of the third grade realm, and two of the fourth grade.”
The closer to the inner lake, the more formation restrictions were set up. Tao
Zhi Qing was answering while lifting the restrictions.
“Although there are hundreds or even thousands of Jiaolong Pythons and other strange beasts raised in Thousand Dragon Lake, those that can grow to the Foundation Establishment realm are after all the minority, and are raised separately by several Inner Sect disciples.”
“By the way, Junior Brother Lu, do you know Elder Brother Yang Qing Feng from the past?” 5
The literary gentleman asked suddenly.
“Yes, I helped Elder Brother Yang solve a small problem in the past.”
Lu Xuan thought of the small Ink-Scaled Jiao which had an extraordinary talent, it loved spiritual fruit and not the flesh.
“He has an Ink-Scaled Jiao whose bloodline talent is exceptionally good, said to be capable of advancing to a Grade 5 Demon Beast. However, rumors are that it got such talent because it mixed blood with other jiaolongs, I wonder if Junior Brother Lu has heard of this?”
“Not only have I heard of it, but I also discovered it…”
“But how did this news leak out?”
Lu Xuan marveled at the gossiping hearts of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, but his mouth was quite discreet.
” I’m not aware of that either.” he said with a smile.
That guy takes advantage of his slightly stronger cultivation level and has snatched all the rare Ink-Scaled Jiaos as treasures. I wanted to borrow one to improve my Jiaolong species, but it didn’t work.”
As a result, he lost them to other jiaolongs for nothing!”
The literary gentleman said, grinding his teeth.
“What’s even more hateful is that instead of letting things go, the newly-born
Ink-Scaled Jiao’s bloodline has actually advanced even further!”
Why don’t such good things ever happen to me?”
Lu Xuan stood silently, seeing that this Elder Brother Tao Zhi Qing was the typical type who laughed at others for their messing up and resented himself for not being able to do the same. It was better to keep silent.
Alright, Junior Brother Lu, we have arrived.”
The literary gentleman went through a dense fog formation with hidden killing intent and was the first to land on a small island.
Looking down from a high altitude, the small island looked like a crescent moon, and the recessed area in the middle was where the Jiaolong demon beasts were kept.
More than ten jiaolongs with robust auras and giant bodies were swimming in the lake, sometimes floating and sinking.
“Hmm? I’ve met an old friend.”
An icy white Chi dragon came into view, making him feel strangely familiar. It reminded him of the extraordinary years when he had raised it.
