"Senior brother, can you give detailed information about the spiritual beast issue?" Lu Xuan spoke up.
"Of course," replied the senior brother. "The fellow disciple who possesses those ancient exotic beasts is nad Ge Pu. He has reached the late Foundation Establishnt stage and entered the sect with . We share quite a history and so friendship. However, his talent far surpasses mine, and he is now one of the seventeen true disciples of the sect."
"True disciples?" Lu Xuan was sowhat surprised.
"Yes, after becoming inner disciples, the sect's Core Formation elders select the most talented among them through multiple assessnts and choose a certain number of true disciples."
"Each true disciple receives a significant tilt of cultivation resources, combined with their talent, they can be considered as Core Formation reserves."
The middle-aged scholar explained as Lu Xuan showed a hint of understanding. With his talent, he probably wouldn't even qualify for the first round of selection in the eyes of others, but he wasn't concerned. Having the light orb as a mystical bonus made his identity as a true disciple irrelevant.
"Ge Pu's cultivation of those exotic beasts is extrely rare, relics from ancient tis that many cultivators have never heard of. Now, this pair of exotic beasts is about to undergo a crucial mont in reproduction. I see that Junior Brother Lu Xuan has a unique ability in raising spiritual beasts, so I wanted to invite you to try your hand."
"Alright, I'll give it a try. However, I can't guarantee a smooth resolution, I'll do my best," Lu Xuan responded.
"If you can solve it, it would be a great joy. If not, it's okay," nodded the middle-aged scholar.
Lu Xuan followed him, flying swiftly among the peaks. After a while, they arrived at a peculiar mountain.
Passing through the protective mountain formation, they entered it. Lu Xuan observed everything around, and the mountain was simple to the extre, with only black and white tones. Even the spiritual plants couldn't display the lush green color symbolizing vitality.
Inside the mountain, there was a hollow area with a floating water sphere hundreds of feet in size. The sphere was half deep black and half light white, constantly colliding, trying to rge with each other, resembling a Tai Chi pattern at first glance.
Inside the huge water sphere, two giant fish were raised, each over twenty feet long, one black and one white, freely moving in their respective colored spheres.
Below, a handso cultivator sat, dressed in white, with white hair and an ethereal temperant, like an exile immortal.
His eyes were particularly striking, one pitch-black and profound, the other pale and indifferent.
Seeing the arrival of the middle-aged scholar and Lu Xuan, the elegant cultivator stood up to greet them.
"This is Senior Brother Ge Pu. Junior Brother Lu Xuan, he is here to help you with the issue of the ancient exotic beasts," the middle-aged scholar introduced.
"Senior Brother Ge Pu, hello," Lu Xuan respectfully greeted. The cultivator with black and white pupils was far more advanced in cultivation than him, and with the identity of a true disciple, he was essentially half-step into the Core Formation stage.
"Junior Brother Lu Xuan, I've heard about you more than once from Qingfeng. This ti, I trouble you to help with the problem of my spiritual beasts."
"I will do my best," Lu Xuan replied with a bow. He followed Senior Brother Ge Pu and the middle-aged scholar to the bottom of the water sphere.
"This black and white water sphere is a specially crafted magical tool. Its purpose is to create a suitable environnt for the growth of this pair of Yin-Yang Kun Fish."
"These Yin-Yang Kun Fish are ancient exotic beasts left over from the ancient era, born by seizing the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth."
"I obtained them in a blessed land, and due to the unique nature of my cultivation technique, I have been keeping them to assist in comprehending the Dao of Yin and Yang."
"The reproduction thod of these Yin-Yang Kun Fish is quite special. In specific environnts, the Yin and Yang converge, giving birth to offspring."
"These offspring also possess Yin and Yang attributes, parasitizing the bodies of their sa-attribute ancestors, absorbing their nutrients to grow continuously. Eventually, the black and white big fish disappear, and the small fish beco the new Yin-Yang Kun Fish."
"This thod of reproduction is sowhat similar to the cycle of Nirvana. After each reproduction, their strength becos much stronger."
"However, with each successive reproduction, the conditions to be t beco more and more demanding. If they are not t, the situation of these two Yin-Yang Kun Fish in my hands will occur."
Ge Pu explained, and with a thought, the black and white fishes leaped out of the water sphere, joyfully swimming towards each other in the air.
The distance between them got closer, but after a long ti, they still couldn't make substantial contact.
In the end, the two large fish swam in a circle, the black head chasing the white tail, and the white head chasing the black tail. Large head and thin tail, at first glance, it looked like a rotating Tai Chi pattern.
It seed like they were intertwined, yet it seed like they were separated by countless galaxies, and no matter what, they couldn't touch each other.
Near yet far, just like this.
"The Yin-Yang Kun Fish are twins in one body, attracting and repelling each other. Only when the surrounding environnt ets their requirents will the Yin and Yang fishes engage in reproductive activities."
"Otherwise, situations like this will occur. Although they have the idea of reproduction through union, they can't touch each other in any way."
Ge Pu, with black and white pupils, explained to Lu Xuan and the middle-aged scholar.
"Senior Brother Ge Pu, have you tried any thods?" Lu Xuan curiously asked.
"At the beginning, when the reproduction conditions were easy to et, I directly created a suitable environnt for them to naturally reproduce and then regenerate a new generation of Yin-Yang Kun Fish."
"But as their strength grew to the level of fourth-grade demonic beasts, the requirents for the reproduction environnt beca higher. In the recent attempt, I tried every possible thod, but couldn't satisfy them."
"Recently, I even had the idea of forcibly making them unite. With my cultivation base, after several experints, I still couldn't make them unite naturally."
"If an extrely violent approach is taken, it might work, but I'm afraid it will damage the new Kun Fish in the reproduction stage, so I eventually gave up."
"I wonder, Junior Brother Lu Xuan, what ideas do you have after seeing this?"
Ge Pu turned his head to look at Lu Xuan, his black and white eyes containing a hint of expectation.
The middle-aged scholar had ntioned to him about Lu Xuan solving the food problem of the Ink Scale Dragon. After hearing this, Ge Pu inexplicably gained more confidence in Lu Xuan.
"Senior Brother Ge Pu, may I ask for so usual food for raising Yin-Yang Kun Fish? I'll feed them to enhance their mutual feelings and lay a foundation for future examinations."
Lu Xuan slowly said. Only after completing the feeding process and gaining more information could he make a decision.
