"Another potential seventh-grade ally!"
Lu Xuan looked at the white jade ape happily savoring the grilled fish, a warm and genuine smile on his face.
"Is it enough? If not, there's more here."
He said softly to the white jade ape beside him.
The cloud-stepping lynx, who was devouring fish on the side, heard the words, lifted its head, and looked at Lu Xuan with puzzled erald eyes.
It seed to have sensed a familiar flavor just now.
In response, Lu Xuan shot it a stern glance.
The intelligent white jade ape, resembling a crystal-clear red jade, looked at Lu Xuan with its eyes, and after getting his confirmation, approached the fragrant grilled fish.
Lu Xuan used his silver blade to cut a piece and handed it to the white jade ape.
The little monkey took it with both hands, lowered its head, and slowly walked behind the white jade lynx to savor the delicacy.
"So well-behaved..."
Lu Xuan exclaid.
"So gentle, understanding, shy, completely different from the fierceness and aggressiveness described in the information."
He couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.
Not far away, the Profound white phoenix walked elegantly and arrived in front of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan saw a hint of desire in its black-and-white eyes, cut off a piece of grilled fish, and tossed it to the phoenix.
"You little thing, quite loyal. I ntioned it to you last ti, and this ti, I really brought a companion."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
After all the grilled fish was consud, he took out a piece of crab spirit ointnt from his storage bag as a dessert.
He cut it into pieces and gave each of the two small creatures and the phoenix a piece.
"I wonder how the sect cares for guardian spirit beasts, whether they let them roam freely or have cultivators specifically taking care of them."
"However, even if there are cultivators taking care of them, they might only feed them with specific spirit fruits or materials from demonic beasts."
"Unlike here, where we have various thods to cook demonic beast at – braising, steaming, roasting... a variety of options."
"Plus, various flavors of spirit fruits obtained from the light clusters."
"With this set of combinations, they might be bewildered and enchanted."
Lu Xuan watched the two guardian spirit beasts enjoy the crab spirit ointnt, feeling satisfied.
"Ordinary fellow disciples usually choose well-established, powerful cultivators as allies, trying hard to please them, but often with little success, and it may even be futile."
"Unlike , I took a different path, noticed the potential of spirit beasts early on, captured their hearts with various delicacies when they were weakest and purest. I built a strong bond with them from a young age."
"Easy, simple, and effective."
Lu Xuan thought contentedly.
After finishing the crab spirit ointnt, the Profound white phoenix and the white jade ape walked up to Lu Xuan, expressing their gratitude.
Then, the Profound white phoenix transford into a fluctuating light and directly passed through the Illusion Mist Formation.
Lu Xuan saw the white jade ape scratching its head with three white hairs on top, about to activate the formation to let it leave. However, the little monkey, with its crystal-clear red jade-like eyes, flashed a hint of red light. Then, it directly crashed into the dense white mist, leaving a hole that looked seven to eight percent similar to its body.
"So straightforward?"
Lu Xuan checked the formation plate and found that although it was violently broken, the array plate was strangely not damaged much. It seed like the formation hadn't reacted in ti when the white jade ape broke out.
In a short while, the hole left by the white jade ape had been automatically erased by the dense white mist, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Xuan tidied up the courtyard, returned to the house, and was about to cultivate when he noticed the Xun-Lei sword pill sheathed in the corner.
"It's been inserted for so long; I wonder how the Crimson Fla Sword has been nurtured."
This thought flashed in his mind as he picked up the sword sheath, held the fiery red sword handle, and slowly drew it out.
A clear sound of a sword rang out.
The rich spiritual energy turned into fiery red magma, continuously flowing out with the withdrawal of the sword, lingering in the low air for a long ti.
The sword sheath trembled slightly, as if it was sowhat unaccustod to the large iron rod that had been left inside for a long ti suddenly being pulled out.
Lu Xuan carefully examined the second-grade Crimson Fla Sword in his hand.
Compared to when it was first inserted into the sheath, after this long period of tempering, the red sword body emitted a brilliant spiritual light. The fiery red patterns on it beca denser and more complex, subtly flowing.
He controlled the Crimson Fla Sword with his spiritual consciousness, and with a thought, it turned into a fiery red light, piercing through a huge boulder, leaving a blackened hole at the entrance, showcasing its terrifying burning power.
"The tempering effect is indeed good. I'll continue to insert it and nurture it."
Lu Xuan was satisfied, aid the sword tip at the crack in the sword sheath, disregarding the sheath's reluctance, and forcefully inserted the entire sword into it.
"Indeed, after experiencing the first ti, the second ti should be much easier."
He looked at the antique sword sheath completely enveloping the Crimson Fla Sword, thinking to himself.
For the next period, he spent most of his ti cultivating spirit plants and cultivating the spiritual fields.
On the mountain peak, he planted nurous new varieties of spirit plants, consuming more energy. Fortunately, after reaching the Foundation Establishnt stage, his spiritual power was abundant enough to cope with the large number of spirit plants.
In his free ti, he practiced the newly acquired techniques. Due to his ordinary aptitude, progress was slow, but Lu Xuan was not overly anxious.
Success in cultivation would be excellent, and even if it failed, he could still obtain various rewards from the spirit plant light clusters, possibly even surpassing the sect's cultivation techniques.
One day, while cultivating spirit plants, a familiar clear voice ca from outside the courtyard.
"Junior Brother Lu, are you at ho?"
"Senior Brother Yang, I'm here."
Lu Xuan's figure was like a wisp of white smoke, swiftly floating to the foot of the mountain. He controlled the array, dispelling the thick mist, revealing a figure.
It was the middle-aged Confucian scholar who had helped him solve the ink-scaled dragon's diet problem during the Qi Refinent stage. When Lu Xuan just broke through, he generously gifted him a Fire Dragon Egg.
"Junior Brother Lu, it's been a while. Your cultivation has beco more stable."
"You flatter , Senior Brother. I've been staying on the mountain, diligently cultivating. That's the only way I've achieved a little progress."
Lu Xuan casually replied. Although the experience gained from picking the Firefly Grass was reduced due to the vast difference in levels, it still brought him nearly two and a half years of cultivation, thoroughly stabilizing his Foundation Establishnt stage.
"How
's the hatching of the dragon egg going?"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar walked beside Lu Xuan, smiling and asking.
"Everything is going smoothly. It shouldn't be long before it hatches."
"That's good."
"Junior Brother Lu, I ca this ti with a request."
"There's a friend from another sect who has encountered a problem related to spirit beasts recently."
"He has a rare pair of ancient exotic beasts, twins in one body. Now, they've reached the breeding stage, but they can't et the conditions for the beasts' reproduction. They've been trying many thods without success."
"I see that Junior Brother Lu has a unique talent in this aspect, so I'd like to invite you to co and help."
"Another spirit beast reproduction problem. I'm turning into an expert in this field."
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
After solving the problem of the Spirit Crane in the Beast Taming Hall's declining birth rate, a new issue erged – special exotic beasts couldn't reproduce.
Moreover, judging by the tone and expression of the middle-aged Confucian scholar Yang Qingfeng, this problem was definitely not ordinary.
