Chapter 350: Scolding the Yin Beast
Chapter 350: Scolding the Yin Beast
Although Lu Chen disagreed with the idea, he didn't show it at all on the surface.
"Senior Sister Guan is adept at pill refining. If I have the opportunity, I would like to seek her guidance."
He said humbly.
"You're too kind, Junior Brother Lu. Your talent in cultivating spirit herbs and your ability to choose the right varieties based on demand are indeed well-suited for pill refining."
"That may be true, but I have a dull talent when it comes to pill refining. I only know how to refine two low-grade pills."
A hint of sadness flashed across Lu Chen's face.
"My pill-refining experience is all thanks to the pill formulas I gained from the light group," he added silently to himself.
"It's all up to the individual. I believe you will achieve great things in pill refining, Junior Brother Lu," Guan Wan encouraged with a smile.
Lu Chen's eyebrows twitched slightly, impressed by her perceptiveness.
After chatting for a while, Lu Chen bid farewell to the woman in yellow and returned to his cave abode, only to find an unexpected visitor.
"Yellow-robed nephew, why didn't you inform me before coming? Please come in."
The visitor was none other than Huang Yuan, whom Lu Chen had met years ago at Thousand Dragon Lake, where he oversaw the giant flood dragons and pythons.
"Greetings, Uncle Lu," Huang Yuan bowed respectfully.
"I have some business in the inner sect, and I plan to meet with Senior Uncle Yang Qingfeng. I learned from him that you had returned from your travels, so I came to pay you a visit."
"How thoughtful of you," Lu Chen nodded slightly and invited Huang Yuan into his abode.
"From the looks of your cultivation, I presume you're not far from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm," he said as he offered spiritual fruits and brewed a pot of spiritual tea, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"I've been at the peak of Qi Refining for quite some time now, and I've been refining my spiritual power, physical body, and soul in preparation for the breakthrough," Huang Yuan replied honestly.
"Mmm, I'm sure you'll succeed," Lu Chen encouraged, sharing his own experiences and feelings from when he had broken through.
"Uncle Lu, it's been a long time since you last visited Thousand Dragon Lake to check on the flood dragons. Your fellow sect members there miss you dearly," Huang Yuan added after some casual conversation.
In the three years that Lu Chen had been away, the hundreds or even thousands of flood dragons in Thousand Dragon Lake had not undergone any blood tests, causing concern for their health among his fellow sect members.
Upon learning of Lu Chen's return, they sent Huang Yuan, who had a connection with Lu Chen, to invite him to perform health examinations on the flood dragons.
"Very well, let's not delay. I'll accompany you to Thousand Dragon Lake to visit those dragon youngsters and give them a health check at the same time," Lu Chen agreed readily, understanding the underlying message in Huang Yuan's words.
The flood dragon essence blood he had drawn the last time, and even the time before that, was still abundant, and Lu Chen, always prepared, decided to take this opportunity to extract more from the flood dragons.
With his current cultivation of the Tai Xu Hua Long Scroll, he required blood baths using flood dragon blood, and the massive demand from the fifth-grade Blood Sin Flower, coupled with the recent addition of a fourth-grade Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng, meant he needed to stock up.
"Then I thank you on their behalf, Uncle Lu. I'll have them make the necessary arrangements immediately!" Huang Yuan said joyfully.
...
Three days later, Lu Chen returned to his cave abode with over a thousand bottles of still-warm flood dragon essence blood.
"Thankfully I had enough bottles; otherwise, I wouldn't have had anywhere to store all this flood dragon blood," he sighed, entering his spirit field to inspect the growth of the various spirit herbs.
Several days later, Lu Chen remained in his spirit field, his spiritual power stirring as strands of spiritual rain fell gently, nourishing the spirit herbs in the spirit soil.
The entire peak was enveloped in a thin layer of mist, creating an ethereal and dreamy atmosphere.
"I'm here, Sister Liu."
Lu Xuan's mind conjured an image of a calm and fair-faced woman, none other than Liu Su, who was also skilled in nurturing spirit herbs. They had once entered the Lang Yue blessed land together.
He quickly went out to greet them and was met by not only Liu Su but also a robust and burly young cultivator.
The upper half of the cultivator's body was bare, while the lower half was wrapped in a short skirt made of beast hide. His muscles were knotted, and his chest and back were marked with strange patterns. As he breathed, the patterns shifted quietly, as if a multitude of beasts lay dormant within his body.
"Brother Zhong, this is Brother Lu Xuan," Liu Su introduced them.
"Brother Lu, this is Senior Brother Zhong Hao. He usually keeps a low profile and is not well-known, but he has actually reached the later stages of the Foundation Establishment realm."
"So it's Brother Zhong. We've met once in the secret realm where the Qingxuan Deer was located. I wonder if Brother Zhong still remembers me?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile. He had some impression of this burly cultivator. At that time, he had been invited to resolve the Qingxuan Deer's lingering obsession, and among the other Foundation Establishment cultivators present, this man had the highest cultivation level.
"Brother Lu's impressive display of resolving the Qingxuan Deer's lingering obsession during its final moments left a deep impression on me," Zhong Hao replied in a hoarse voice.
Back then, he had assumed that among their group, he had the highest chance of resolving the Qingxuan Deer's aberration. However, Lu Xuan, who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm at the time, had outshone them all by single-handedly addressing the five-grade Qingxuan Deer's dying obsession.
"Brother Zhong is too kind. I was just lucky," Lu Xuan humbly responded as he invited the two into his courtyard.
"May I ask what brings Brother Zhong here this time?"
"It's a bit embarrassing, but within the sect, I have a slight reputation in the way of beast taming. I've raised quite a few high-grade rare and exotic spirit beasts," Zhong Hao explained. "But recently, a pair of spirit beasts has been acting strangely, and no matter what methods I try, I can't seem to resolve the issue."
"I heard from fellow sect members that you, Brother Lu, have helped many of them with their spirit beast problems. So, I specially asked Sister Liu to introduce me to you, hoping that you might be able to help." Zhong Hao paused before continuing.
"Oh? What seems to be the problem? If I have some confidence in addressing it, I will definitely do my best to assist you, Brother Zhong," Lu Xuan assured him.
"It's like this," Zhong Hao began. "I have a pair of Yin Beasts, one male and one female, both of which are fourth-grade rare spirit beasts with an extraordinary talent for water and lightning arts. Recently, the female beast entered her estrus cycle and initiated mating with the male beast. According to reason, the two beasts should have mated and reproduced. However, during the mating process, the male beast exhibited extremely abnormal behavior."
"As the two beasts progressed to a deeper level of intimacy, the male beast gradually lost his rationality, as if consumed by endless desire."
"What's even more terrifying is that his desire for his mate is beyond the ordinary."
"It's as if he wants to devour her."
"Devour her?" Lu Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Yes, there were indeed instances of him biting and swallowing chunks of her flesh. This happened three times in a row, and he even attempted to consume her entirely."
"I had to intervene and separate the two, waiting until the desire subsided before the male beast regained some sense of rationality," Zhong Hao elaborated.
"Seeing is believing. Please, Brother Lu, allow me to bring you to my cave abode to observe this Yin Beast," Lu Xuan said confidently.
