Chapter 145 - Cutting off for permanent cure
"It's just some unorthodox techniques, but it happens to be used to breed cranes."
Zhou Zhengqing said with some pride.
"It sounds really good. As for the method you just mentioned, although it makes some sense, it is still just an idea and has not been specifically confirmed."
"How about this, I will give 200 cranes to Brother Zhou, and you should give less, 100 cranes to Brother Lu."
"These cranes will be temporarily handed over to you for breeding. They are all adult cranes, in the stage of youth and strength, and their needs are relatively strong. It is the right time for reproduction."
"During this period, the transport monks will be put aside. The Beast Taming Hall will provide the cranes with sufficient food every day. Everything is to make them reproduce more."
Xu Yi looked at Lu Xuan with some apology and said.
Lu Xuan did not react and calmly accepted Xu Yi's arrangement.
What Zhou Zhengqing said was indeed more tempting than his own. The aphrodisiac techniques and aphrodisiac drugs for spirit beasts, a two-pronged approach, the number of cranes bred will be greatly increased.
Xu Yi was relieved to see Lu Xuan accept his somewhat unreasonable arrangement calmly, and took the two of them to the water.
He found 300 spiritual cranes, divided into 200 and 100 parts, with an equal number of male and female cranes in each part.
In addition, he gave Lu Xuan and the other two a spiritual beast card, which contained a trace of the spiritual crane's blood, and could be used to control the behavior of the spiritual crane.
Lu Xuan took the spiritual beast card and brought the spiritual crane to the designated place.
Under his mental control, the spiritual cranes chose an open space to rest in an orderly manner, occasionally making a crisp crane cry, staring at Lu Xuan with their black and white eyes, as if they were very curious about him.
Lu Xuan took some spiritual snails, smashed their shells, revealing the fresh meat and internal organs inside, and then evenly sprinkled the broken spiritual snails in front of the spiritual cranes.
The 100 spiritual cranes gracefully bent their long necks, pecked out the spiritual snail meat in the broken shells, and swallowed it into their stomachs.
Lu Xuan concentrated his mind, and a thought flashed through his mind.
[Spirit cranes are first-class monsters that feed on roots and tender leaves of spiritual herbs. They also eat things such as spiritual clams, spiritual snails, and monster insects. Adult spirit cranes fly very fast, are easy to tame, have high intelligence, and can speak human language. ]
[Carrying monks day after day, living a busy and numb life, they no longer have the initial desire for the sky. When can they freely shuttle between the mountains and clouds? ]
Sensing the detailed status of the spirit cranes in front of him, Lu Xuan was silent in his heart, sighed lightly, and came to another spirit crane.
Among the 100 spirit cranes, most are first-class spirit beasts, and a few of the tall and majestic ones are second-class level. The number of male and female cranes is not much different.
Lu Xuan carefully observed that the status of each spirit crane is very similar. They are tired of carrying monks day and night, but they are enslaved by the Beast Taming Hall and have to travel to various places in the Tianjian Sect to earn spirit stones.
There are even many female cranes who are aware that they are carrying the task of breeding new spirit cranes, and they have more or less resistance to this.
"It's a long and difficult road to solve the problem of crane reproduction..."
Lu Xuan sighed in his heart as he looked at the many cranes moving slowly among the water plants in front of him.
He did not rush to urge the cranes to reproduce and mate, but raised them well and comforted the cranes in an anxious state from time to time.
The next day, Lu Xuan came to the water early and found a piece of water reserved for him. He probed his spiritual power into the spirit beast card. Suddenly, a hundred cranes flew out from the deep water plants and gathered around Lu Xuan.
"It's time to eat! It's all specially prepared food for you. Enjoy it!"
Lu Xuan sprinkled the crane food taken from the Beast Taming Hall on a protruding open space. After learning the detailed status of the hundred cranes, he began to make adjustments to ensure that they could enjoy enough delicious food.
"Only when you are full can you have the strength to work. Whether it is the work of carrying monks or the work of mother cranes, you need enough strength."
After Lu Xuan carefully cared for and raised the cranes, he took a look around while they were digesting.
The place where Zhou Zhengqing raised the cranes was not far from Lu Xuan. It was less than two hundred feet away. Lu Xuan walked slowly to his camp.
Two hundred cranes were staying in an area surrounded by a fence of water grass. A faint pink mist could be vaguely seen in the area.
Under the influence of this pink mist, the cranes seemed extremely excited and could not wait to lie behind the mother crane.
The mother crane lay on the ground, making hoarse calls, which showed the hardship day after day.
"Junior Brother Lu, how can you come over to see me?"
Zhou Zhengqing saw Lu Xuan coming from a distance and greeted him with a smile.
"How are the one hundred cranes that Junior Brother is responsible for now? Have any of them entered the breeding stage?"
Lu Xuan shook his head.
"It's only been two days, so they didn't reproduce so quickly. However, Senior Brother Zhou's situation is a little different. It seems that there is good news?"
Zhou Zhengqing laughed and said.
"Yes, under the effect of my magic and aphrodisiac, many cranes have entered the mating stage. I believe that after a period of time, some cranes will show signs of pregnancy."
The magic and drugs in his hands have such miraculous effects, and there is a sense of complacency in his tone.
"Brother, your methods are really powerful. I admire you!"
"Brother, I don't have such a good method. I can only slowly do experiments to find a method."
Lu Xuan flattered casually. Many cranes in the breeding stage in front of him were indeed beyond his expectations.
After satisfying Zhou Zhengqing's desire to show off, Lu Xuan returned to his own area and focused his mind on many cranes. He found that their mental state was generally a little better than before.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan felt relieved. According to the different states of each crane, his spiritual consciousness gently soothed them.
"Haste makes waste. Only by ensuring the physical and mental health of the cranes can we better stimulate their deep desires."
Lu Xuan was not in a hurry. He planned to adjust the physical and mental state of the 100 cranes to the best first, and then eliminate their inner resistance to childbirth, and even let them have the impression that childbirth means benefits.
Several days passed like this. When Lu Xuan was raising the hundred-day-old crane, he suddenly heard a shrill cry from Zhou Zhengqing's camp not far away. The cry was filled with endless pain.
Lu Xuan's heart tightened and he activated the Yunteng technique. After more than ten breaths, he rushed to the fence.
Xu Yi had already come over, looking inside the fence with a gloomy face.
Lu Xuan followed his line of sight and saw a tall crane with a bloody belly. It was holding up its long neck, with a strong sense of determination in its eyes.
"Brother Xu, what's going on?" Lu Xuan asked in a low voice.
"A male crane couldn't stand the daily forced reproduction and was willing to hurt itself."
Xu Yi said slowly.
Lu Xuan looked at the fierce male crane not far away, and respect arose in his heart.
This crane could not accept forced mating and reproduction. Under the control of the spirit beast card, it could not resist the monks. In order to get rid of this lifestyle, it chose such an extreme method.
