Chapter 363 Beast Taming Crane Dance
"Cordyceps sinensis...the underworld has a new addition to its ranks."
Lu Xuan took out the Cordyceps spiritual seed. The spiritual energy in the inner sect was pure and unsuitable for its growth. He planned to find an opportunity to transplant it into the courtyard of Jianmen Town.
"Feeding on filth and filth can pollute the monk's eyes and mind. During the planting process, be careful not to pollute your own heart and eyes."
He suddenly realized that the underworld spiritual plants in the underworld courtyard were all high-quality products. The fourth-grade blood spirit palm ginseng, the fifth-grade blood evil flower, the Yishou flat peach, the holy infant fruit, plus the newly obtained Cordyceps sinensis, each plant was Not an ordinary spiritual plant.
"However, the area of the spiritual field is still too small, and the spiritual energy is not strong enough. It is not an environment suitable for the growth of various evil spiritual plants. If there is a chance, we will have to find a better place."
He thought to himself.
On this day, while cultivating spiritual plants, an unexpected person came.
"Senior Brother Zhong, what kind of wind blew you here."
Lu Xuan smiled and came out to greet him. The person who came was none other than Zhong Hao, who raised the pair of scolding beasts.
"Haha, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came here to see if you have something to do, junior brother."
The burly Zhong Hao smiled heartily.
He said while casually observing Luxuan Cave Mansion.
"The spiritual beasts in Junior Brother Lu's cave seem to be well-raised. Although their grades are not very high, each of them is alive and well."
Zhong Hao sighed as he glanced at the cloud-walking lynx, wind falcon and other spiritual beasts.
"It's far different from the spiritual beasts raised by senior brother."
Lu Xuan said modestly.
"Coming here this time is about spiritual beasts."
"In addition to my own, I usually help the sect to tame spiritual beasts, especially those high-level spiritual beasts."
"There are a new batch of high-level cubs in the sect, and someone needs to tame them. Last time, junior brother helped me solve the breeding problem of the pair of Yin beasts, and from the communication with me afterwards, it can be seen that junior brother Lu is very good at raising spiritual beasts. They have great achievements, so I came here to ask if my junior brother is willing to tame them?"
"If you directly make a contract with the spiritual beasts, won't they become obedient? Do you still need to tame them?"
Lu Xuan expressed his confusion to the burly monk.
"Junior brother, I don't know. Those spiritual beasts are not owned by individuals, so we cannot specifically make a contract with a certain fellow disciple."
"They have their own uses, guarding secret realms and dangerous places, producing cultivation resources, sect transportation tools, etc. Taming them will allow them to better understand various instructions and eliminate the demonic nature in their bodies, so as to better serve the sect."
Zhong Hao explained patiently.
"If we don't make a contract, can we directly control them with magical weapons?"
Lu Xuan remembered the imitation dragon-binding ring magic weapon when he first raised the dragon python in Qianlong Lake.
"Those are high-grade spiritual beasts, and the required magic weapons are naturally high-grade. In this case, the cost will increase too much. In addition, even if there are magic weapons, formations and other controls, the demonic nature in the spirit beasts must be tamed, otherwise, It might suddenly break out one day, causing heavy losses.”
"I see."
Lu Xuan nodded after hearing this.
"Then I'll give it a try, and I'd like to thank my senior brother for the introduction."
"It all depends on your own abilities, junior brother."
From the conversation between the two, Lu Xuan learned that the last pair of Yin beasts had successfully conceived after a few months of intercourse, but it would still take several years to give birth to cubs.
After chatting for a few words, Lu Xuan followed Zhong Hao and flew towards the location of the batch of cubs to be tamed.
When passing by a vast swamp, Lu Xuan couldn't help but pause in his steps as he looked at the hundreds of spiritual cranes flying freely in the swamp.
The water swamp covers an area of hundreds of acres, with lush water plants and dense aura. Numerous cranes are combing their white feathers against the water surface, or are playing happily in the water, pecking at the fish and shrimps in the water from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
When he was about to leave, suddenly, a spiritual crane spotted his figure and let out a crisp chirp, the sound was rapid and exciting.
This cry seemed to cause a chain reaction. The cranes screamed one after another in the swamp. Thousands of spiritual cranes flapped their white wings, drew beautiful arcs, and flew towards Lu Xuan at high speed.
That man is back!
Even though ten years have passed, the entire Linghe clan still remembers the changes Lu Xuan made to them.
Without his appearance, all the spirit cranes would probably be like before, carrying monks day and night every day, but the rewards they received were extremely meager, and it was difficult to support themselves even if they were precarious.
If this continues, the outcome will be that the entire ethnic group slowly lies flat and rots, like a pool of stagnant water.
"Go, go, get out of here, get out of here!"
Suddenly, an outer disciple flew in from a distance. He was afraid that the spirit cranes in the water would collide with the two inner disciples in front of him, so he drove all the spirit cranes away anxiously.
"Two senior uncles, the spirit cranes raised below do not have long eyes. Please forgive me if I bumped into my senior brother."
The outer disciple who flew out was dark-skinned and had perfected his qi practice. He lowered his head deeply and looked terrified.
"It's okay, we're just catching up on old times. Fellow Taoist Xu, don't worry."
Lu Xuan looked at the outer disciple in front of him and said gently.
He had some impressions of this person. His name was Xu Yi. When he received the task of raising the cranes many years ago, he was responsible for raising the entire group of cranes.
When Xu Yi heard this, he looked up suddenly and was startled when he saw Lu Xuan.
"Lu...Uncle Lu."
He didn't expect to meet Lu Xuan in this way. More than ten years ago, Lu Xuan was just a high-level Qi practitioner who had just joined the sect. The two met because of Linghe's fertility mission.
Unexpectedly, when they met again, Lu Xuan had become an inner disciple.
But I have only completed my Qi training, and I don’t know when I can try to break through to the realm of foundation building.
"Fellow Daoist, are you okay?"
"Thank you, Uncle Lu, for thinking about it. It's okay. I plan to polish my physical body and spiritual consciousness for a few more years before trying to advance to the foundation-building realm."
Xu Yi bowed slightly and said respectfully.
Lu Xuan sighed softly in his heart and looked around at the many cranes flying happily around him.
"Have the lives of these cranes changed compared to before?"
"Thanks to you, Master Uncle Lu, the Beast Taming Hall listened to your advice and entrusted the Formation Hall to refine small magic weapons with functions such as positioning and contact, thus freeing most of the spirit cranes from their labor."
"At the same time, we can increase their carrying rewards, expand their living areas, and improve their living conditions."
"Under many changes, the entire Linghe clan has slowly entered a benign stage, and everything is developing in a favorable direction."
"That's good."
Lu Xuan nodded happily, gave Xu Yi a few words of encouragement, and then continued flying towards the mountains with the burly monks waiting on the side.
Many cranes screamed in unison and followed Lu Xuan spontaneously, their cries full of reluctance.
"Okay, go ahead and live the life you want."
Lu Xuan waved his hand towards the many spirit cranes, and the speed of the flying sword under his feet increased. He looked back at the spirit cranes flying freely and freely in the sky, feeling sincerely happy for them.
