Chapter 174 - Thighs and Thighs
"It's time to eat!"
Lu Xuan lifted the lid of the pot, and the white hot steam instantly dissipated. A huge red crab was placed in the middle, and the aroma was everywhere.
The young wind falcon bird next to him couldn't help swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, and moved restlessly.
This was the last of the iron claw crabs he raised. Since he had a good harvest in the past two days, Lu Xuan steamed it to celebrate.
He untied the grass puppet gray grass tied to the iron claw crab, and broke open the heavy crab shell with familiar movements.
"It's still so unruly before it dies..."
He looked at the iron claw crab that still held up its claws like a big knife even though it was cooked, and sighed in his heart, and tore it off and threw one to each of the stepping cloud lynx and the young wind falcon.
The crab meat was plump and the crab roe was fragrant and tender. The man and the two beasts entered a state of feasting.
"Crack!"
A crisp chirping sound rang out, and the Xuantian White Luan, which had come twice and had outstanding talent, landed on the ground not far away, and its black and white eyes stared eagerly at the crab meat and crab roe in Lu Xuan's hand.
"Hey, the future thigh is here!"
Lu Xuan was secretly happy, and tore off a red crab leg and threw it in front of the phoenix, the descendant of the guardian spirit beast.
The phoenix's white feathers stretched out happily, and a spiritual fruit flew in front of Lu Xuan.
The flesh of the spiritual fruit was like jade, with spiritual light surging and fragrance overflowing. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary spiritual fruit.
"For me?"
Lu Xuan pointed at the jade spiritual fruit and asked curiously.
The Xuantian Luan nodded slightly and focused on the crab leg in front of him.
This iron claw crab was carefully cultivated by Lu Xuan. The food needed during the growth period was fully satisfied, and it also provided a lot of opportunities to exercise the claws, making the meat more firm, so when it was steamed, it was much more delicious than ordinary iron claw crabs.
Lu Xuan looked at the jade-like spiritual fruit in his hand and couldn't help picking one and putting it into his mouth.
A sweet and fragrant smell spread rapidly, flowing through his limbs and bones. He keenly sensed that after taking the spiritual fruit, the spiritual power in his body actually increased a little.
"This effect... should be a third-grade spiritual fruit, which was stolen by this phoenix and exchanged for the crab meat in my hand."
Lu Xuan stared at the spiritual fruit in his hand for a while and put it into the storage bag.
By the way, he took out a piece of crab spiritual paste and cut it into several pieces. The cloud-stepping lynx, the young wind falcon, and the phoenix each got a piece.
The young wind falcon swallowed it whole, licking its beak as if savoring it. The pink tongue deep in the lynx licked the bluish-white crab spiritual paste slowly.
"This crab spiritual paste tastes good, right?" After the phoenix finished eating, Lu Xuan approached it and asked softly.
With the previous two experiences, the Xuantian phoenix did not resist Lu Xuan and let him walk to its side.
"Xiaobai, although I don't know where you come from, we have established a certain food-drinking relationship, and we have become friends."
"I don't know if there are other monsters where you live. If there are, you can bring your companions to play with me."
"Besides anything else, there are still quite a few things to eat in the cave, including high-quality spiritual fruits and delicious crab paste."
"You and your companions can eat with confidence."
Lu Xuan said with a smile. Anyway, he has already embraced a future high-grade spiritual beast, so he doesn't mind embracing a few more, raising them from childhood, and establishing close ties with each other.
And the Xuantian Luan Bird, which has the potential of the seventh rank, must have an extraordinary spiritual beast around him. The
snow-white Luan Bird tilted its head, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
It waved its wings towards Lu Xuan, and its body turned into countless light spots, which quickly dissipated without leaving any trace.
"This ability to freely shuttle through the formation is really enviable..."
Lu Xuan sighed and cleaned up the mess.
After a little preparation, he came to Jianmen Town.
The monster eyes that he specially collected last time have not been raised to the Hundred Eyes Guimu. If they are kept in the life bag, I am afraid that their vitality will be lost.
In addition, he needs to find several materials for preparing the "Taixu Hualong Pian" potion.
Under the huge stone sword.
On the bluestone square, Lu Xuan found that there were many more stalls in the square than usual. He shuttled between the stalls with interest to see if there was anything he needed.
The goods on the stalls were different from usual in that there were many more materials, spiritual medicines, and magic tools.
Among them, many magic tools still had strange smells, and even blood stains were not dry, which showed that they were not good.
While observing the items on the stalls, he concentrated on listening to the whispered discussions of the monks around him.
Among the monks, there were good and bad people, including disciples of the Tianjian Sect, casual cultivators who came to see, and many family members and servants of inner and outer sect disciples who stayed in the town.
"I heard that the small secret realm we discovered has been opened up for the most part, and many cultivators have gained great opportunities from it."
"That's true. Most of the second- and third-grade spiritual medicines and treasures that appear on the market now come from that small new secret realm."
"It's a pity that the number of places released by the Tianjian Sect is limited, so I can't get a share."
Lu Xuan walked slowly among the stalls. The hottest topic discussed by the cultivators now is the opening of a new secret realm thousands of miles away from the sect. Many disciples of the sect or foreign cultivators have gained a lot of benefits from it.
What's more, some have soared to the sky and risen to prominence.
Lu Xuan's expression did not change, and he kept collecting various information.
From the discussion of the cultivators, he learned that among the cultivators who came from the sect this time, six or seven outer disciples died and disappeared in the secret realm.
In addition, there are countless people who were injured.
"It seems that it is indeed as I expected. The foundation-building uncle cannot protect him throughout the process. If an accident occurs, there may be a risk of death."
Lu Xuan sighed secretly.
"With a mortality rate of less than half, it can be said that the foundation-building master did his best. In addition, there are various opportunities and treasures in the new secret realm. Compared with them, the slight risk can be almost ignored."
"But there is still danger. If it falls on other cultivators, it may become a topic of conversation after dinner, but if it falls on me, it may be a disaster."
He thought to himself, crossed the square, turned a few times in the alley, and came to the underworld courtyard.
There was no trace of any cultivators outside the courtyard. Lu Xuan looked around and found that the formation was intact and there was no sign of intrusion.
"It seems that the two intimidated cultivators are quite responsible."
Lu Xuan opened the formation and entered the courtyard.
Although there are not many spiritual plants in the courtyard, each one is a rare and precious species.
The third-grade ghost-faced stone mushroom, thorn bone, fourth-grade hundred-eye strange wood, and the third-grade poisonous shuttle wood that he planned to plant in the courtyard are all fine spiritual plants.
"In the sect, I was worried about the safety of the formation in the courtyard every day, fearing that the spiritual plants in it would be picked by others.
This time, I came here with the fourth-grade Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Formation, which combines an illusion formation, a killing formation, and a maze formation. I can plant with confidence."
