Upon hearing Lu Xuan's proposal, the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon didn't hesitate to nod its petite head. Born with a natural prowess for illusions, it harbored a certain resistance and ability to decipher them, thus facing Lu Xuan's wager with full confidence.
Observing this, a mysterious smile appeared on Lu Xuan's lips as he retrieved a pale yellow silk from his storage bag.
"Then, watch it closely," he instructed, presenting the "Blissful Heart Sutra" directly to the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon.
Perhaps due to its youthful vigor, the pheasant was overwheld far sooner than Lu Xuan had anticipated, surrendering in less than a mont.
"First ti watching chicken films, understandable," Lu Xuan remarked as he collected the silk, gazing at the pheasant, now overwheld with desire and frustration, and sighed.
With the issues of the three problem spirit beasts resolved, the process of training the juveniles beca much smoother, although new training content occasionally presented minor setbacks.
After all, these were demonic beasts, inherently wild and untamable, and could not be expected to follow Lu Xuan's commands entirely.
However, these minor issues were swiftly addressed.
That day, after training nurous juveniles, Lu Xuan hovered in the air and clapped his hands.
"Hold on, I'd like to introduce a spirit beast friend of mine. Perhaps so of you are acquainted with him."
As he spoke, a dainty Ape with eyes as clear as red jade and a shy deanor erged from behind him. It was the White Jade Heavenly Ape that had co to visit Lu Xuan's cave dwelling and followed him to the beast training hall.
The mont the White Jade Ape appeared, the nurous spirit beasts on the ground showed signs of unrest, promptly lying down in submission, motionless.
The little Ape, scratching the white hairs on the back of its head, seed sowhat embarrassed.
Sensing its presence, the juveniles shuddered unanimously.
To them, the White Jade Heavenly Ape was all too familiar. Within the Sky Sword Sect, there were many guardian spirit beasts ranked by their strength and grade, and the White Jade Ape stood at the pinnacle of the first tier in both aspects.
Known for its combative nature and being from the sa generation, the juveniles were essentially dominated by the Ape from a young age.
The White Jade Heavenly Ape grinned at Lu Xuan, assuming the guise of a well-behaved student.
"There's always a higher mountain," Lu Xuan mused, watching the juveniles' reactions.
"From now on, if anyone misbehaves, I'll invite my spirit beast friend here for a little spar," he declared, leveraging the Ape's prestige.
The White Jade Heavenly Ape eagerly nodded in agreent, its warrior spirit kindled by Lu Xuan's generous feeding of spirit fruits and nectars.
After its departure, the juveniles noticeably behaved better, diligently completing the training Lu Xuan set forth.
When Lu Xuan deed all juveniles to have t the standards, he inford Zhong Hao to conduct an assessnt, accompanied by two fellow disciples from the Beast Taming Hall, both at the late stage of Foundation Establishnt.
Arriving at Lu Xuan's hall, they commanded the juveniles to execute various commands and tasks, setting up simple formation restrictions to test their different abilities.
"I've long known about Junior Brother Lu's profound expertise in spirit plant cultivation, but I didn't expect his beast taming skills to be equally comndable," a lean elder comnded as he approached Lu Xuan.
"That Four-winged Thunderstorm Tiger juvenile was always a troublemaker within our guardian spirit beasts. Two of our brothers attempted to ta it before, only to give up."
"And that Lion-Bird Beast, given its low intelligence, was nearly written off by our Beast Taming Hall. Yet, it has shown significant improvent in today's assessnt, eting all the necessary criteria."
"As for the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon, preparing to lay an egg, Junior Brother Lu's ability to encourage it to lay willingly is indeed a great achievent."
Lu Xuan smiled in response, "Senior Brother flatters . I rely interacted with them with a passionate heart. Over ti, we've developed a deep friendship, and they've shown no resistance to the training, hence today's results."
Fortunately, his unique abilities allowed him to perceive the imdiate state of the spirit beasts and address issues at their roots, avoiding the counterproductive outcos of forceful taming.
"You've worked hard, Junior Brother Lu."
"Here are five hundred Sword Seals as compensation for your efforts in taming the spirit beasts during this period."
"Moreover, in recognition of your exceptional performance in the taming process, the Beast Taming Hall has decided to award you an auxiliary artifact."
The lean elder handed over a jade token adorned with intricate spirit patterns and nurous lifelike beast engravings, the Spirit Beast Token
, a unique artifact crafted by the Beast Taming Hall, akin to a storage bag specifically for spirit beasts, where they could reside without any adverse effects for extended periods.
"Thank you, Senior Brother," Lu Xuan gratefully accepted the Sword Seals and Spirit Beast Token.
Although he already possessed a third-grade Life-Sustaining Bag and a fifth-grade Gluttonous Insect Pouch for maintaining the vitality of spirit beasts, the forr was becoming obsolete due to its limited space and grade, and the latter was too precious to use openly.
"Well then, may our paths cross again in the future. Strive to beco guardian spirit beasts and lead a peaceful life; don't disappoint ."
Lu Xuan waved at the juveniles, bidding them farewell with a smile.
"Roar!" The juveniles roared back, their sounds tinged with reluctance.
Especially the Lion-Bird Beast, which broke through the simple restrictions with its formidable physique to approach Lu Xuan, emitting soft, woeful cries.
"Rember what I told you: you've always been outstanding; you just hadn't realized it."
"I look forward to seeing you guard the sect."
Lu Xuan gently stroked its golden mane, speaking tenderly before departing amidst the longing gazes of the juveniles.
Returning to his cave dwelling, he activated the flowing light formation. The Wind Falcon, swift as a streak of green light, landed on his head before bouncing off.
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx silently erged from the forest, sniffing around Lu Xuan, its ears twitching and green eyes filled with curiosity.
Lu Xuan quickly reassured the Lynx, emphasizing that despite his external engagents, his cave's inhabitants remained his priority, with the others rely passing guests.
He then visited the spirit fields to inspect the various maturing spirit plants, ensuring their well-being during his absence taming the juveniles.
