Chapter 4: Hatching scorpion eggs, red-tailed scorpion mutation

Chen Xuan strolled around the West Street Market for a long time.

After making sure that no one was following him, he left West Street Market.

At this time, Chen Xuan did not plan to go home, but instead went directly into Canglong Mountain outside Canglan City.

Hidden Dragon Mountain!

The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, like a giant dragon lying dormant in the vast land, stretching for who knows how many thousands of miles.

In the past, Chen Xuan collected herbs in Canglong Mountain and earned spirit stones.

Today, he came to Canglong Mountain not to collect herbs, but just to find a secluded hiding place to hatch red-tailed scorpion eggs.

Relying on his familiarity with Canglong Mountain, Chen Xuan quickly found a secluded cave on the outskirts of Canglong Mountain.

He found a huge rock to block the entrance of the cave and made a simple camouflage, then Chen Xuan moved in.

When everything was ready, Chen Xuan took out the Beast Taming Tower.

"I hope the Beast Taming Tower won't let me down!"

Chen Xuan murmured to himself.

With a thought, he directly entered the space of the Beast Taming Tower.

After taking out the red-tailed scorpion eggs, Chen Xuan slowly walked to the side of the cold pool.

After a moment, a green light suddenly shone brightly on the relief of a black tortoise carved on the stone pillar in the center of the cold pool.

A powerful vitality directly enveloped the five red-tailed scorpion eggs in Chen Xuan's hand.

At the same time, the spiritual energy slowly floating in the cold pool, as if blown by a gust of wind, gathered towards the area corresponding to the black tortoise relief.

"This……"

Chen Xuan looked shocked.

Soon, he reacted suddenly and flew to the cold pool area corresponding to the black turtle and placed the five red-tailed scorpion eggs in his hand into it.

call!

The spiritual energy in the cold pool surged like a raging wave, and quickly gathered towards the red-tailed scorpion eggs.

Those five tiny red-tailed scorpion eggs were like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing the gathered spiritual energy.

Chen Xuan stared at the five red-tailed scorpion eggs with curious eyes.

Not long after, Chen Xuan was surprised to find that the vitality in these five red-tailed scorpion eggs was obviously several times stronger than before.

In particular, the vitality of the red-tailed scorpion king egg far exceeds that of the other four red-tailed scorpion eggs.

"The vitality of the Red-tailed Scorpion King's eggs has increased so much, there should be an 80% chance of hatching, right?"

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

Even he hadn't expected that the cold pool in the Beast Taming Tower would have the miraculous effect of increasing the probability of hatching.

Chen Xuan was not idle at this moment either.

He bit lightly with the tip of his tongue and sprayed a drop of blood directly onto the eggs of the Red-tailed Scorpion King.

Wow!

A flash of red light flashed on the red-tailed scorpion king's egg, and Chen Xuan's blood and essence disappeared with it.

Next, Chen Xuan used a series of beast-controlling spells on the remaining four red-tailed scorpion eggs...

After working for several hours, he finally stopped.

A feeling of hunger also came over me.

Touching his shriveled stomach, Chen Xuan remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time.

“Only after advancing to the foundation-building stage can I practice fasting completely. Now, I am only at the third level of Qi Refining. If I want to practice fasting, I must hurry up and improve my realm.” Chen Xuan said.

After taking out the Lingya rice, Chen Xuan went out again, found some clean water and a stone pot to cook a pot of Lingya rice for himself to fill his stomach.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Xuan had stayed in the Beast Taming Tower for more than ten days.

That day, Chen Xuan, who was meditating beside the cold pool, was suddenly awakened by a scream.

"This……"

Chen Xuan looked quickly into the cold pool.

Four red-tailed scorpion cubs, each as thick as a thumb, had crawled out of the cold pool.

Judging from the aura emanating from these red-tailed scorpion cubs, they are at the first level of Qi Refining.

Naturally, Chen Xuan would not be afraid of them.

"It hatched in just over ten days? It's much faster than expected!"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan quickly walked towards the red-tailed scorpion cub.

These newly hatched red-tailed scorpion cubs actually surrounded Chen Xuan affectionately, screaming in a flattering manner.

Chen Xuan was suddenly overjoyed.

"The beast-controlling methods in the Soul Controlling Technique are indeed miraculous. Otherwise, these wild little guys wouldn't be so docile."

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

When a red-tailed scorpion cub grows up, one can be sold for at least ten low-grade spirit stones.

To Chen Xuan, these four red-tailed scorpion cubs are worth forty white, low-grade spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan was extremely excited.

"made money!"

After playing with the four red-tailed scorpion cubs for a while, Chen Xuan cooked a pot of Lingya rice for them to feed, and then the four red-tailed scorpion cubs returned to the cold pool.

What surprised Chen Xuan immensely was that these four red-tailed scorpion cubs were cultivating at an extremely fast speed in the cold pool.

In just a few days, his aura became comparable to that of a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, the vitality in the red-tailed scorpion cub showed no signs of weakening.

"Why was the Red-tailed Scorpion not affected at all while training in the cold pond? Could it be that the cold pond was only targeting me?"

Chen Xuan was puzzled.

At this moment, an extremely powerful pressure suddenly erupted from the cold pool.

Chen Xuan, who was standing next to Han Chi, felt extremely depressed.

"This……"

Chen Xuan looked towards Han Chi with vigilance.

A red-tailed scorpion king cub, as thick as a rolling pin, was cautiously climbing out of the cold pond.

The moment it saw Chen Xuan, the young red-tailed scorpion king screamed in surprise and ran towards Chen Xuan happily.

"Eighth level of Qi Refining?"

Feeling the aura emanating from the red-tailed scorpion king cub, Chen Xuan was extremely surprised.

The red-tailed scorpion king cub had just hatched successfully and it had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

His realm is much higher than that of his master.

What's more, the Red-tailed Scorpion King has a high probability of advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Today's red-tailed scorpion king cub is not only a potential stock, but also Chen Xuan's current trump card.

"With the protection of the Red-tailed Scorpion King cub, I can now fight back against ordinary enemies." Chen Xuan said secretly.

After playing with the red-tailed scorpion king cub for a while, Chen Xuan took the red-tailed scorpion king cub away from the Beast Taming Tower.

Soon, they appeared in the valley.

"go with!"

Chen Xuan pointed to a bluestone road in the distance.

The red-tailed scorpion king cub disappeared in a flash, turning into a trail of shadow.

Before Chen Xuan could see clearly, the bluestone in the distance, which was about a foot in size, suddenly shattered into pieces.

When the dust settled, the red-tailed scorpion king cub proudly raised its tail hook and kept screaming at Chen Xuan to seek credit.

"So strong! If it's a sneak attack, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, right?"

Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

After commanding the Red-tailed Scorpion King cub to conduct some attack training, Chen Xuan took the Red-tailed Scorpion King cub back to the Beast Taming Tower to practice.

In a flash, several years passed in the Beast Taming Tower.

The four red-tailed scorpion cubs stayed in the cold pool to practice all day, and their growth rate was amazing.

Now, they are all adults.

However, the growth rate of the young red-tailed scorpion king is very slow.

Until now, he is still at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"It's been several years in the Beast Taming Tower, and several days should have passed outside. I have to hurry out and exchange the red-tailed scorpion for spirit stones and cultivation resources."

Chen Xuan's mind moved, and four adult red-tailed scorpions quickly crawled out of the cold pool.

Now, the aura emanating from each red-tailed scorpion is that of the fourth level of Qi Refining, which is slightly higher than Chen Xuan's level.

Each red-tailed scorpion of this strength should be sold for more than ten low-grade spirit stones.

When Chen Xuan swept his eyes over the red-tailed scorpions, he saw that the originally crimson tail hook of one of the four red-tailed scorpions had become crystal clear, and a look of incredible surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Could it be... that this red-tailed scorpion has mutated?"
