Chapter 496 Caring for the health of spiritual animals

 Ignoring how much commotion the mission of demonic beast flesh and blood in the General Affairs Hall caused among the inner disciples, Lu Xuan returned to the cave alone.

“I can just be a spiritual planter with peace of mind.”

“When you go out to hunt monsters or whatever, you should leave it to the right person.”

Lu Xuan sighed secretly.

The mission he assigned is extremely demanding. The fourth-grade monster already has the strength of a mid- to late-stage Foundation Establishment monk. Even if he is from a large family, there is no way to kill it with absolute confidence while ensuring his own safety.

For monks in the early stage of foundation building, it is even more difficult. It may take several people to join forces to kill a fourth-level monster.

 Hence, he estimated that there would not be too many fellow sects who could come over and obtain the Sword-raising Gourd or Cleansing Pill from him.

 There is no need to worry about the follow-up cultivation of evil spirit plants such as Flesh Spirit God, Blood Evil Flower, etc.

 “If it’s not enough, there are also light groups that can draw prizes!”

 Lu Xuan came to the Lingtian area where Yulu fruits were planted.

A new batch of Yulu fruits have sprouted pale white buds, with a drop of pure and flawless transparent dew hanging from the top of the bud. The dewdrop exudes a refreshing aura, which is refreshing.

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

The demonic vine followed step by step, stretching out a gray tentacle-like vine from time to time, leaving a faint trail of gray mucus next to the buds of the jade dew fruit.

 “Delicious food must be cultivated from an early age.”

Lu Xuan felt the thoughts in the mind of this weird vine that was half monster and half spiritual plant, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Although this demonic vine has not truly enjoyed the spiritual plants in the cave, it has always remained true to its original intention. When it sees the spiritual plants it likes, it can't help but come over and mark them.

Gray vines followed him all the way to the newly planted red flame gourd.

 Half an acre of light red flaming soil, with red flame gourd spiritual seeds buried deep in it.

Lu Xuan felt that the spirit seed was slowly absorbing the fire spirit breath in the scorching earth, as if there was a ball of flame inside that would burst out at any time.

He casually cast a low-level fire spell. Under the exquisite control of the "Flame Technique", the flames condensed into threads and merged into the spiritual seed.

 The Demon Ghost Vine took advantage of Lu Xuan's lack of attention, and the gray vines sneakily stretched towards Yan Tu.

Because the flame soil contains the aura of fire spirit, the temperature is much higher than that of ordinary spiritual 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.

 “You are so greedy.”

Lu Xuan smiled and cursed.

The demonic ghost vines stretched and contracted erratically, and then they seemed to have a way to deal with it. They extended directly upwards on the edge of the scorching soil, crossed the scorching soil area, and landed in the form of an arch bridge over the spiritual species, slowly squeezing out a drop of gray mucus.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but hold his forehead. The demonic vine's intelligence was quite beyond his expectation. He actually thought of such a solution.

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

“Senior Brother Yang, I haven’t seen you for a long time. How are you doing?”

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

“Junior brother Lu, I ask you to keep me in mind. Everything is fine.”

A middle-aged Confucian scholar entered the cave. It was Yang Qingfeng, whom Lu Xuan had known for a long time. 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. Finally, he found that the black-scaled dragon was a hybrid dragon that did not like flesh and blood but loved spiritual fruits.

Yang Qingfeng reciprocated the favor and recommended Lu Xuan to him when the ancient strange beast Yin Yang Kun fish raised by Ge Pu, the true legend of the sect, had fertility problems.

 The relationship between the two is pretty good.

"Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Lu, who was just an outer disciple at that time, has now reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment." "Junior Brother has made rapid progress over the years, but I have stayed where I am."

Yang Qingfeng recalled the scene when he saw Lu Xuan, and was filled with emotions.

 The obvious contrast between the two made him feel a sense of despair.

“It’s a lucky chance. With the foundation you have accumulated over the years, senior brother, I believe you will be able to break through to the late stage of foundation building soon.”

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

 While reminiscing with the Confucian scholar, he led him into the small courtyard.

“I came here today because I have something to ask Junior Brother Lu.”

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

 “Senior Brother Yang, please speak.”

Lu Xuan took out a bottle of Liuyun juice given by Huoyundong, poured a full cup, and handed it to the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

“Did Junior Brother announce a mission to collect the flesh and blood of fourth-grade monsters in the General Affairs Hall today?”

 “This is indeed the case.”

Lu Xuan nodded and admitted.

"To be honest, I am very interested in the dust-cleansing pill in my junior brother's hand. I want to get one to purify the dirty smell in my body and increase the success rate of breaking through to the later stage of foundation building."

“After learning about this, I immediately contacted many acquaintances and exchanged them for three relatively complete monster beast corpses from several fellow disciples who had just returned to the sect.”

Yang Qingfeng flicked with one hand, and the corpses of three fourth-grade monsters fell into the small courtyard. Each of them was covered with a thin layer of ice and frost. After observing with his 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-cleansing pill in my junior brother’s hand?”

Yang Qingfeng asked with a somewhat uneasy expression.

“No problem. If Senior Brother Yang wants to exchange for the Cleansing Pill or other treasures listed in the mission in the future, you can come directly to me.”

 Lu Xuan took out an elixir filled with fresh air and handed it to the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

“Thank you so much, Junior Brother Lu, but these three fourth-level monsters have cost me a lot of money, so I am satisfied with just one.”

Yang Qingfeng took the Cleansing Pill and said with a satisfied expression.

“By the way, Junior Brother Lu, it’s been a long time since you came to Qianlong Lake. Many of your classmates in Qianlong Lake miss the days when you used to give physical examinations to the dragons they raised.”

 He pondered for a moment and said to Lu Xuan.

“Junior brother has been negligent. He has been staying in the Blessed Land before. He is busy with many things and cannot take time out. I will definitely come over soon to check the dragons in the hands of my fellow disciples.”

Lu Xuan didn't expect Yang Qingfeng to propose it on his own initiative, and he wished he could.

“Then thank you so much, Junior Brother Lu.”

“Junior brother has already reached the middle stage of foundation building and has a great reputation in the sect. He is also willing to go to all the trouble to draw blood for those evil beasts to check their health. Senior brother, I really admire him.”

Yang Qingfeng looked solemn and said with cupped hands.

"no way."

Lu Xuan said with a carefree smile.

“Those dragons and dragons in Qianlong Lake all belong to the sect. As a monk of the Tianjian Sect, I have some skills in cultivating spirit beasts. Naturally, I have to take good care of the health of my sect’s spirit beasts.”
