Chapter 188 - Fire Dragon Egg

  "Jianqing, wait here for a while. I have also invited a few fellow disciples I met before."

  Lu Xuan ordered.

  Baili Jianqing nodded, restrained his words and actions, and stood behind Lu Xuan and waited quietly.

  Not long after, a young man with a resolute expression landed from a spiritual crane. It was Xu Shaoze, Lu Xuan's neighbor on the other side of the cave.

  "Uncle Lu, congratulations on your promotion to the foundation-building stage!"

  Xu Shaoze smiled warmly from a distance and said loudly.

  "Thank you, fellow Daoist Xu."

  Considering their friendship, Lu Xuan did not address him as his nephew, and stood up to greet him.

  The two exchanged a few pleasantries and fell into silence.

  Xu Shaoze stood behind Lu Xuan, looking at his tall figure, with a hint of envy in the corners of his eyes.

  He was born as a casual cultivator. In order to gain a little opportunity, he often went in and out of danger and fought with various monsters and evil spirits. When he met Lu Xuan, after getting to know him a little, he just regarded Lu Xuan as a fellow disciple who was keen on spiritual plants and not good at fighting.

  But he never expected that Lu Xuan would quietly break through to the foundation-building realm, which shocked him greatly after receiving the news. It took him a long time to calm down.

  He secretly adjusted his breathing, discarded the distracting thoughts in his heart, and determined his own path.

  While waiting, Yao Qing and Huang Yuan also arrived one after another, but what surprised Lu Xuan was that each of them was followed by a foundation-building cultivator. Behind

  Yao Qing was the gentle female cultivator who cultivated the mutated Burning Yuan Wood. As for Huang Yuan, the foundation-building cultivator he brought was the middle-aged Confucian scholar Yang Qingfeng who raised the mixed-blood black-scaled dragon.

  "Junior Brother Lu, this is your fault. Why didn't you invite old acquaintances for such a big event as breaking through to the foundation building stage?"

  "It was Huang Yuan who told me that I knew about your big event. I followed him to come and celebrate for you, Junior Brother."

  The middle-aged scholar said gently, and the gentle female cultivator beside him agreed with a smile.

  "My fault, my fault. I will punish myself with three cups later. Senior Brother Yang, Senior Sister He, please come into my humble room to have a look."

  Lu Xuan smiled.

  He led two mid-stage foundation building cultivators and four Qi training cultivators through several large formations and came to the courtyard on the mountain peak.

  "The spiritual energy is rich, and both inside and outside are beautiful. Junior Brother has a good eye."

  The middle-aged scholar climbed all the way up, looking at the scene on the roadside, and commented with a smile.

  The six people sat down in the outer hall. Lu Xuan brought out preserved fruits and snacks to entertain them, and brewed six pots of boiling spiritual tea, each of which put a piece of pure spiritual tea leaves.

  "There is nothing good to entertain at home, only a pot of inferior tea, please taste it."

  "Good tea!"

  The middle-aged scholar put down the teapot in his hand, and a look of aftertaste appeared on his face.

  "The source of this tea is unusual. It should be the second-grade Qingmiao Lingcha tea. It has the effect of calming the mind and resisting the invasion of evil spirits. You juniors must digest it well and don't waste it."

  Baili Jianqing and the other three nodded in unison when they heard this, and carefully experienced the pure and spiritual aura in the Qingmiao Lingcha tea.

  While sipping tea, they chatted about Lu Xuan's experience and feelings when he broke through the foundation.

  It was mainly Lu Xuan, the middle-aged Confucian scholar and the gentle female cultivator who were talking. Huang Yuan and others occasionally echoed, respectfully, and did not dare to go beyond one step.

  "Junior Brother Lu, I came here in a hurry this time without any preparation. I heard that you have a strong interest in raising spiritual beasts and have experience in raising dragons, so I brought you a dragon egg."

  "This dragon egg was born from a third-grade Lihuo Jiao. It can hatch after a period of incubation. If it is raised properly, it can break through to the level of a third-grade spiritual beast."   

  After chatting for a while, the middle-aged scholar Yang Qingfeng took out a giant egg from a gray-black cloth bag. The giant egg was oval in shape, with the longest part exceeding three feet, and there were light red lines on the surface of the eggshell.

  "Brother Yang, this gift is too expensive."

  Lu Xuan waved his hand to refuse.

  "If it was an adult dragon, I would be reluctant to give it up, but this is just a dragon egg, and you need to spend a lot of time and effort to cultivate it. At most, it is only a few hundred spirit stones, which is nothing."

  He first met Lu Xuan because of the anorexia problem of the black-scaled dragon. After trying many methods, he listened to Huang Yuan's advice and invited Lu Xuan to come and help solve it. He

  didn't have much hope at first, but Lu Xuan gave him a big surprise. He solved the anorexia symptoms of the third-grade black-scaled dragon with his Qi training.

  Now, the black-scaled dragon has returned to its normal form, and its strength has increased rapidly, slowly realizing the outstanding talents of its two excellent bloodlines.

  He knew that Lu Xuan was not good at fighting, but he judged that with Lu Xuan's attainments in spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, he could definitely get a good position in the sect and have the ability to manage the sect's logistics, so he came up with the idea of ​​getting to know him.

  The middle-aged scholar forced the dragon egg to Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan could not refuse, so he had to accept it.

  His demand for adult dragons was smaller. Although he did not need to spend a lot of time and resources to raise them, it also meant that there would be no light ball rewards, so it would be better to start from dragon eggs.

  "Junior brother Lu, this is the spiritual seed I condensed from a third-grade burning Yuan wood earlier. I give it to you as a gift. Please don't despise it." "

  Thank you, Senior Sister He, such a rare spiritual seed, I am ashamed to accept it."

  Lu Xuan hurriedly thanked.

  Huang Yuan and others also took out their gifts, but because Lu Xuan had already established his foundation, and they were only in the Qi training realm, the gifts did not pursue high value, and won by surprise.

  Lu Xuan personally cooked a large table of delicious dishes to entertain the six people.

  The guests and hosts were all happy, and the six people left one after another.

  Lu Xuan packed up and began to enter his new life as a spiritual plant master.

  He first untied the restraints on the young wind falcon and the cloud-stepping lynx, allowing the two little ones to move freely in the mountain, instead of being confined to the narrow cave as before. He

  even promised that when their strength improves, they can move freely around the mountain without restraint.

  With Lu Xuan's approval, the young wind falcon flapped its light blue wings and flew freely in the air above the mountain.

  The speed was getting faster and faster, almost becoming a blue phantom, with the meaning of being caged for a long time and soaring into the sky.

  The whole round belly slowly became streamlined during the rapid flight, trying its best to reduce the resistance of the body.

  With such a big belly, the young wind falcon lived up to the name of a flying spiritual beast, with a nimbleness and lightness that was extremely inconsistent with its body shape.

  As for the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, it originally lived in the mountains and forests. After returning to nature, it ran fast among the trees and boulders. Its thick paws, like white clouds, landed silently, and it was a bit more wild than before.

  Lu Xuan placed the Lihuo Jiaolong egg given by the middle-aged Confucian scholar on the spiritual vein node, and summoned the young Fengshao bird soaring in the sky.

  "I'll give you a task. From today on, spend one to two hours every day to hatch this Jiaolong egg with your round belly."

  The young Fengshao bird stared with black eyes and nodded its little head gently.

  Lu Xuan patrolled the mountain peak, looking at the flowers and plants all over the mountain, thinking about what to do next.

  "The most important thing is to go to the Sinong Hall to exchange spiritual seed resources for the foundation-building realm, and it would be best to get several spiritual seed condensation methods.

  Also, go to the Sutra Pavilion to choose a few suitable foundation-building exercises, open up more spiritual fields, and if conditions permit, get a new formation. The second-grade fog-hidden maze array is difficult to cover such a large area."
