Chapter 496 - Caring for the Health of Spiritual Beasts

  Regardless of how much commotion the monster blood and flesh mission of the General Affairs Hall caused among the inner disciples, Lu Xuan returned to the cave residence.

  "I'll just be a spiritual plant master in peace."

  "Going out to hunt monsters and the like should be handed over to the right people."

  Lu Xuan sighed secretly.

  The task he set was extremely demanding. A fourth-grade monster beast already had the strength of a cultivator in the middle and late stages of foundation building. Even if it was from a large sect, there was no way to have absolute confidence in killing it while ensuring one's own safety.

  For cultivators in the early stages of foundation building, it would be even more difficult. It might take several people to join forces to kill a fourth-grade monster beast.

  Therefore, he estimated that the number of fellow disciples who could come to get the sword-raising gourd or the dust-cleansing pill from him would not be too many.

  There was no need to worry about the subsequent cultivation of the flesh spirit god, blood evil flower and other netherworld spiritual plants and evil spirits.

  "If it's really not enough, there are still light balls to be drawn!"

  Lu Xuan came to the spiritual field area where the jade dew fruit was planted.

  A new batch of jade dew fruits have grown pale white buds, with a drop of pure and flawless transparent dew hanging on the top of the bud. The dew exudes a refreshing and refreshing breath.

  Lu Xuan's spiritual power surged, and the clouds above the spiritual field changed. In an instant, strands of spiritual rain fell, dripping into the spiritual soil, and slowly seeping into the jade dew fruit spiritual plants that had just revealed their pointed corners.

  The demon ghost vine followed closely behind him, occasionally extending a section of gray and white tentacle-like vines, leaving a light gray mucus mark next to the jade dew fruit buds.

  "Delicious food must be cultivated from childhood."

  Lu Xuan felt the thoughts of this strange vine that was half demon beast and half spiritual plant, and laughed dumbly.

  Although this demon ghost vine did not really enjoy the spiritual plants in the cave, it has always kept its original intention. When it sees the spiritual plants it likes, it can't help but come over to mark them.

  The gray vine followed him all the way to the newly planted red flame gourd.

  Half an acre of light red flame soil, the red flame gourd spiritual seeds are deeply buried in it.

  Lu Xuan felt the spirit seed slowly absorbing the fire spirit aura in the flame soil, as if there was a ball of flame inside, ready to burst out at any time.

  He casually performed a low-level fire spell, and under the exquisite control of the "Flame Art", the flame condensed into a silk thread and merged into the spirit seed. The

  demon ghost vine took advantage of Lu Xuan's inattention and its gray vines sneakily stretched towards the flame soil.

  Because the flame soil contained the fire spirit aura, the temperature was much higher than that of ordinary spirit soil. As soon as the top of the vine touched the surface of the flame soil, it was suddenly burned and retracted several times faster than before.

  "I told you to be so greedy."

  Lu Xuan laughed and scolded.

  The demon ghost vine vine stretched and retracted unsteadily, and then, it seemed to have a way to deal with it. It extended directly upward from the edge of the flame soil, crossed the flame soil area, and landed above the spirit seed in the form of an arch bridge, slowly squeezing out a drop of gray mucus.

  Lu Xuan couldn't help but hold his forehead. The intelligence of this demon ghost vine was quite beyond his expectation. It actually thought of such a solution.

  After cultivating all the spiritual plants in the spiritual field, Lu Xuan was about to go back to the house to practice for a while when an acquaintance came to visit.

  "Brother Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently?"

  Lu Xuan opened the formation outside the cave and saw the visitor, with an eager smile on his face.

  "Brother Lu, please keep me in mind. Everything is fine."

  A middle-aged Confucian scholar entered the cave. It was Yang Qingfeng, whom Lu Xuan had met a long time ago. He was in the middle stage of foundation building.

  Lu Xuan once helped him solve the dietary problem of a black-scaled dragon in his hand, and finally found out that the black-scaled dragon was a mixed-blood dragon that loved spiritual fruits instead of flesh and blood.

  Yang Qingfeng returned the favor and recommended Lu Xuan to Ge Pu, the ancient beast Yin-Yang Kun fish raised by the true disciple of the sect, when there was a problem with the fertility.

  The relationship between the two is pretty good.

  "I didn't expect that Brother Lu, who was only an outer disciple at the time, now has the cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building."   

  "For so many years, Junior Brother has made rapid progress, but I have been staying where I am."

  Yang Qingfeng recalled the scene when he met Lu Xuan at that time, and his heart was filled with emotion.

  The obvious contrast between the two made him feel depressed.

  "It's a fluke. With the foundation you have accumulated over the years, I believe you will soon be able to break through to the late stage of foundation building."

  Lu Xuan said with a smile. If the middle-aged scholar in front of him knew that he had broken through to the late stage of foundation building, he might have a mental demon on the spot.

  He and the scholar talked about the past while leading him into the courtyard.

  "I came here today to find Junior Brother Lu for something."

  The middle-aged scholar went straight to the point and said to Lu Xuan after entering the courtyard.

  "Senior Brother Yang, please speak."

  Lu Xuan took out a bottle of Liuyun Juice given by Huoyun Cave, filled a cup, and handed it to the middle-aged scholar.

  "Did Junior Brother issue a task to collect the flesh and blood of the fourth-grade monster in the General Affairs Hall today?"

  "That's true."

  Lu Xuan nodded in acknowledgement.

  "To be honest, I am very interested in the Dust Purifying Pill in Junior Brother's hand. I want to get one to purify the dirty breath in my body and increase the success rate of breaking through the late stage of foundation building." "

  After knowing this, I immediately contacted many familiar people and exchanged three relatively complete monster corpses from several fellow disciples who had just returned to the sect."

  Yang Qingfeng flicked his hand, and three fourth-grade monster corpses fell in the courtyard. Each surface was covered with a thin layer of frost. With a spiritual sense, he could feel the vigorous vitality of the flesh and blood inside.

  "I wonder if these three monsters can be exchanged for a Dust Purifying Pill in Junior Brother's hand?"

  Yang Qingfeng asked with a somewhat nervous look.

  "No problem, if Senior Brother Yang wants to exchange for Dust Purifying Pills or other treasures in the task content in the future, you can come to me directly."

  Lu Xuan took out a pill with a lingering clear air and handed it to the middle-aged scholar.

  "Thank you, Junior Brother Lu, but these three fourth-grade monsters have already cost me a lot of my life. I am already satisfied with exchanging one."

  Yang Qingfeng took the Dust Purifying Pill and said with satisfaction.

  "By the way, Junior Brother Lu, you haven't been to Qianlong Lake for a long time. Many fellow disciples in Qianlong Lake miss the days when you used to check up the dragons they raised."

  He pondered for a moment and said to Lu Xuan.

  "Junior Brother, I'm sorry. I've been staying in the blessed land before, and I've been entangled with many things. I can't spare the time. I must come here recently to check up the dragons in the hands of fellow disciples."

  Lu Xuan didn't expect Yang Qingfeng to take the initiative to bring it up, and he was looking forward to it.

  "Thank you very much, Junior Brother Lu."

  "Junior Brother has reached the middle stage of foundation building and has a great reputation in the sect. He is willing to take the trouble to draw blood and check the bodies of those evil beasts. I really admire him."

  Yang Qingfeng said with a solemn expression and bowed his hands.

  "No way."

  Lu Xuan smiled freely.

  "The dragons and Chilongs in Qianlong Lake all belong to the sect. As a cultivator of Tianjian Sect, I have some skills in spiritual plants and spiritual beasts. Naturally, I have to take good care of the health of our sect's spiritual beasts."
