Chapter 463: Gaining Experience
Chapter 463: Gaining Experience
The various spiritual beasts Lu Chen had obtained earlier were all hatched and bred through normal means, a straightforward and orthodox approach.
However, the experimental methods within the forbidden land were quite unconventional, resulting in the acquisition of high-grade demon beasts.
While the process was gruesome and involved the blood of countless beasts and monsters, the likelihood of obtaining these high-grade creatures was significantly higher.
Lu Chen's unique abilities would undoubtedly prove useful in these unconventional experiments.
For instance, in the case of demon beast transplants and sutures, Lu Chen could, through his breeding techniques, immediately gain feedback on the beast's condition, thus saving an immeasurable amount of time.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, he grew excited and soon entertained the idea of joining the forbidden land's monster experiments.
"I'll find a few helpers. I can ask Old Dragon Turtle, White Ape, or the Greenhill Fox Spirit Beast to lend a hand during their experiments."
With these thoughts, Lu Chen returned to his cloud house.
As the master of this blessed land, he had to stay informed about any developments within its boundaries, and he could only tend to the leftover bits of demon beasts during his free time.
After he left, a venerable voice echoed within the blood-colored stone hall.
"Well?"
The old fox reentered the stone hall, followed by several floating demon beast corpses.
"On the surface, he appears to be a spiritual herbalist with a talent for spiritual plants. He is passionate about cultivating them and also shows a keen interest in demon beasts. His personality is cautious."
"However, when I mentioned the specific methods of the forbidden land's monster experiments, although his expression remained unchanged, I could sense his eagerness to give it a try."
"It seems that even if he isn't one of us, he's not that different. We should try to develop a relationship with him."
"Being able to face these kinds of demon beast experiments calmly already sets him apart from most cultivators in the sect."
The old fox stated expressionlessly.
"I've decided to bring him in."
There was a strong sense of determination in the old fox's hoarse voice.
"So soon? Shouldn't we observe him a bit more?"
The bald monk was taken aback by the old fox's decision.
"After all, our understanding of him is still superficial. We don't know his true character or thoughts."
He suggested to the Greenhill Fox Spirit Beast.
"Blood Butcher, my time is limited," the old fox said calmly, but his voice carried a hint of fatigue.
The bald monk, who had stayed with the old fox in the forbidden land for hundreds of years, couldn't help but hear the weariness in his voice.
"Then let's follow your suggestion. I hope this junior disciple won't disappoint you."
He said helplessly.
...
After listening to Sun Yan and the others' report on the situation in the blessed land of the Myriad Demon Cave, Lu Chen, following the usual practice, went to the Old Dragon Turtle to divine a hexagram.
"Hmm? Young Lu, your hexagram today is quite unique."
The Old Dragon Turtle's shell glowed with spiritual patterns as he spoke in surprise.
"What? Is it an omen of great misfortune?"
Lu Chen asked anxiously.
"On the contrary," the Old Dragon Turtle said mysteriously, "if you handle it well, a great opportunity will present itself."
Lu Chen tried to inquire further, but the Old Dragon Turtle refused to elaborate.
Puzzled, Lu Chen could only leave with his curiosity piqued and headed towards the forbidden land.
As he descended into the pit, he glanced around casually and entered the passage.
After dealing with several demon beast corpses and collecting their leftover flesh and blood, he returned to the stone hall and unexpectedly saw the old fox spirit beast.
"Senior," Lu Chen greeted respectfully.
The old fox nodded expressionlessly and suddenly asked, "I need an assistant for my experiment. Are you willing to help me out?"
In several of the caves, the beasts were in the midst of reproduction, their passionate dances unfazed by Lu Chen's presence.
"Your task is simple," the old fox began to explain in a raspy tone. "You are to assist me in various demon beast experiments. For example, with these beasts before us, you must observe their mating process and ensure their successful union. Should any abnormalities occur, you must employ all means necessary to promote their reproduction."
"I can manage that without issue," Lu Chen replied with a slight nod. To him, a beast tamer of great skill, the task of aiding beast reproduction was trivial.
Since joining the Celestial Sword Sect, he had resolved numerous cases of beast fertility issues, from the ancient Yin-Yang Kun fish with infinite potential to the foundational spirit cranes of the sect. All reproductive challenges were effortlessly overcome by his skilled hands.
Moreover, he possessed a plentiful supply of the enchanting Muyu Dan pills, which could arouse even the most steadfast of beasts. With these pills, any beast would become a willing partner in reproduction.
Thus, in the realm of beast breeding, Lu Chen was indeed a seasoned expert.
The old fox, taciturn as ever, led Lu Chen further down the passage. As they progressed, the number of beasts within the caves diminished, with most caves housing only a solitary beast and some remaining empty.
"The beasts within these caves possess extraordinary bloodlines," the old fox explained in a low voice. "Your task here is to extract their blood and deliver it to me promptly when I require it."
"Extract blood from the fierce beasts?" Lu Chen was taken aback.
"Rest assured, the beasts will be restrained during the blood extraction process, posing no threat or harm to you," the old fox assured, having apparently learned of Lu Chen's gentle nature from the bald monk.
"Yes, senior. I understand," Lu Chen replied, his tone conveying his acceptance of the task, despite the unease he felt within.
"Blood extraction is my old specialty," he mused to himself. During his early days as a Qi cultivator, he had extracted the essence blood of countless giant dragons and pythons from the Thousand Dragon Lake. After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he made it a regular practice to visit the lake and extract more blood.
Under the pretense of performing health checks on the dragons, he was warmly welcomed by his fellow sect members who tended the dragons. Countless vials of dragon blood were collected during these visits.
Even with the demands of the Blood Demon Flower and the Blood Spirit Palm, there was no need to worry about depleting the dragon blood supply anytime soon. His storage bag was filled with vials upon vials of the precious liquid.
"To have such extensive experience even before formally starting the experiments... Perhaps I am naturally suited for this work," Lu Chen thought to himself.
