Chapter 368: Blue Sage Spirit Rice
Chapter 368: Blue Sage Spirit Rice
One was incredibly fast and controlled the power of lightning, while the other had a sturdy body and a unique bloodline. A great battle was about to unfold.
The two young beasts lost the aerial advantage they had when facing other spirit beasts, and the battle quickly intensified.
The Four-Winged Thunder Tiger, with its slightly faster speed, circled the Lion-Bird Beast, avoiding direct confrontation while occasionally unleashing over a dozen bolts of lightning towards its opponent.
The Lion-Bird Beast remained as steady as Mount Tai, dodging the lightning bolts while looking for an opportunity to strike back. When it couldn't dodge, it relied on its sturdy body to withstand the attacks.
From time to time, it would spit out bursts of spiritual energy or use its sharp claws to create crescent-shaped blades of spiritual energy.
After a brief exchange, the Lion-Bird Beast began to show signs of fatigue and gradually seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Seizing the opportunity, the Four-Winged Thunder Tiger, confident in its speed, closed in on the Lion-Bird Beast in the blink of an eye. Hundreds of bolts of lightning merged into a blinding white mass, crashing down on the Lion-Bird Beast as the tiger itself pounced, baring its sharp fangs.
Under the relentless bombardment of lightning, the Lion-Bird Beast felt a numbing sensation coursing through its body. Looking at its opponent, now within striking distance, a sense of powerlessness arose in its heart.
"Is this where it ends?"
A thought flashed through its mind, followed by a series of images.
Being mocked as a mixed-blood beast, with low spiritual intelligence and understanding, possessing only brute strength. And then, Lu Chen appeared, like a ray of light illuminating the darkest depths of its heart.
"Can I do it?"
"I can!"
"Roar!"
It let out a roar, and an infinite surge of power erupted from its blood, causing its body to swell instantly. It faced the lightning head-on, its pair of fleshy wings wrapping tightly around the Four-Winged Thunder Tiger.
Ignoring the relentless lightning strikes on its body, the Lion-Bird Beast had only one thought in mind: to defeat its opponent!
The two young beasts entered a stalemate.
One was locked in a tight grip, while the other had to withstand the damaging effects of its own lightning attacks.
Driven by its unwavering conviction, the Lion-Bird Beast refused to let go.
Finally, the Four-Winged Thunder Tiger conceded, letting out a pitiful cry and conveying a pleading thought to its opponent.
The Lion-Bird Beast, its massive wings powerless, shrank rapidly, its body charred and falling freely.
A figure flashed by, and Lu Chen effortlessly caught the falling Lion-Bird Beast, gently placing it on the ground.
"It was just a small test. Why are you so worked up?"
He sighed softly, his eyes resigned as he looked at the charred young beast lying motionless on the ground, as if it hadn't heard his words.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's dantian, the energy center in his body, began to rotate, and a strand of Greenwood Source Qi covered the burnt wounds of the Lion-Bird Beast.
The Greenwood Source Qi contained a powerful vitality, and its healing effects were remarkable. In less than half a moment, the wounds on the Lion-Bird Beast's body scabbed over, and tender flesh grew beneath the scabs.
After treating the Lion-Bird Beast, Lu Chen approached the Four-Winged Thunder Tiger, which was licking its wounds, and healed it completely as well.
Once the two beasts had recovered, Lu Chen took out some Beast Spirit Pills and Ice-Fire Spirit Fruits from his storage bag as rewards. Based on their rankings, he distributed the prizes among the many young beasts.
The last eight received excellence awards, ensuring that every spirit beast received a prize.
As Lu Chen resolved one issue after another, the taming of the spirit beasts proceeded smoothly.
Every day, after feeding them spirit fruits and demon beast meat, he would carefully examine their conditions and make adjustments to ensure their physical and mental well-being.
He also tailored their meals according to their individual tastes, providing them with their favorite or most suitable foods to ensure their satisfaction.
Among the problem beasts, only the Seven-Colored Pheasant remained with unresolved issues.
As a production-type beast, the Seven-Colored Pheasant's primary task was to lay the extremely rare and precious Seven-Colored Pheasant Eggs for the sect.
However, after observing it for two to three months, there had been no signs of any eggs developing in its belly, which was unusual.
The Seven-Colored Pheasant had shown no other problems during this period.
Although it had cheated during the first patience test using illusionary techniques and was caught red-handed by Lu Chen, it learned from that incident and subsequently accepted its taming obediently. Its performance was average; not outstanding, but also not failing.
It consistently remained in the middle to lower ranks, taking each day as it came.
Every day, when it was given Spirit Rice to eat, it would only eat until it was half-full, not leaving any extra spiritual energy for itself, which meant it couldn't condense the essence needed to lay a Spirit Egg.
Lu Chen was helpless regarding this indifferent behavior.
Whether or not it laid eggs was entirely up to the beast itself; he couldn't judge it as right or wrong.
After quietly observing it for a while, he decided to start with the Spirit Rice.
"If you're only eating until you're half-full every day, then I'll get you some Spirit Rice that you'll love, and we'll see if you can resist the temptation."
In addition to the Spirit Rice provided by the Beast Taming Hall, he obtained several types of Spirit Rice from familiar Spirit Herbologists within the sect and prepared them in different ways. He then fed these to the Seven-Colored Pheasant and observed its state to gauge its preferences.
Eventually, he did find a type of Spirit Rice that it liked.
"Come, come, come, let's have an improved meal today."
Lu Chen scattered a handful of Spirit Rice in front of the Seven-Colored Pheasant.
The Spirit Rice was a pale blue color, with full and round grains that were highly elastic. They bounced on the ground like little balls, attracting the attention of the Seven-Colored Pheasant.
This Spirit Rice was called Blue Sage Spirit Rice, a second-rate rice containing abundant spiritual power, and it was the favorite food of chicken-type beasts.
The Blue Sage Spirit Rice bounced on the ground, seemingly triggering some innate ability within the Seven-Colored Pheasant. It spread its colorful wings and flapped them at the Blue Sage Spirit Rice on the ground, swallowing the grains one by one.
Before long, all the Blue Sage Spirit Rice had been devoured by the Seven-Colored Pheasant.
Lu Chen repeated this process, feeding it its favorite Blue Sage Spirit Rice and gradually increasing the amount.
Overwhelmed by the delicious taste, the Seven-Colored Pheasant, with its limited spiritual intelligence, lost all restraint and completely indulged in the exquisite food.
As a result, its body gradually accumulated more and more spiritual power, and all it needed now was a trigger for it to lay a rare and precious Seven-Colored Pheasant Egg.
As for that trigger, Lu Chen was already prepared. He decided to give this immature beast a little shock...
It was time to play his trump card! Using the Extreme Pleasure Heart Sutra, he didn't believe that this beast would remain indifferent.
If it had no desires, then he would help ignite its passions.
Lu Chen summoned the Seven-Colored Pheasant, closed the door, and stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.
"The reason I summoned you here is to engage in a battle of illusions with you."
"I have an illusionary artifact, a fourth-rate one. If your gaze falls upon it, you will inevitably be drawn into the illusion and be unable to free yourself."
"I know that you possess an excellent talent for illusions, so I want to make a bet with you. If you can stare at my artifact for half an hour without being affected, then I will follow your lead from now on."
"But if you show any reaction, then you must periodically lay Seven-Colored Pheasant Eggs in the future. What do you say?"
