Chapter 350: The Snarling Shadow Beasts
Though Lu Xuan harbored doubts in his heart, he showed no trace of it on the surface.
"Sister Guan is skilled in alchemy. If there's a chance, I must seek her guidance," he humbly expressed.
"Brother Lu is too modest. You excel in nurturing spirit plants, which makes you quite suitable for selecting plant varieties for alchemy according to needs," Sister Guan replied.
"While that may be so, unfortunately, my aptitude in alchemy is dull. I only know the methods to refine two low-grade elixirs," Lu Xuan's expression turned somber.
"In alchemy, my experience relies entirely on the elixir recipes stored within the luminous orbs," he added silently.
"But with effort, I believe Brother Lu can achieve great success in alchemy," Sister Guan encouraged with a smile.
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "She reads people quite accurately..."
After chatting for a while, Lu Xuan bid farewell to the woman in yellow and returned to his cave abode, only to find an unexpected visitor.
"Nephew Huang, why didn't you inform me before coming over? Please, come in quickly," the visitor was none other than Huang Yuan, who had managed the flood dragons and giant pythons at Thousand Dragon Lake many years ago.
"Uncle Lu," Huang Yuan respectfully greeted.
"I came to the inner sect to find Senior Yang Qingfeng. From him, I learned that Uncle Lu had returned from a trip, so I came to pay a visit."Findd new stories at novelhall.com
"You're thoughtful," Lu Xuan nodded lightly and ushered Huang Yuan into the cave.
"Considering your cultivation level, it seems you're not far from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage," he offered some spirit fruit and brewed some spirit tea, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips.
"I've been at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage for quite some time. Recently, I've been refining my spiritual power, physical body, and soul to prepare for the breakthrough to Foundation Establishment," Huang Yuan replied truthfully.
"Well, I'm sure you'll succeed," Lu Xuan encouraged, sharing his own feelings when he broke through.
"Uncle Lu, it's been a long time since you last visited Thousand Dragon Lake to see those flood dragons. Many fellow disciples in the lake miss you dearly," Huang Yuan suddenly mentioned after chatting with Lu Xuan for a while.
Lu Xuan had been away for three years, and the hundreds of flood dragons in Thousand Dragon Lake hadn't had their blood drawn for a check-up in all these years, which worried him and other fellow disciples about the health of the dragons.
After learning of Lu Xuan's return to the sect, he dispatched Huang Yuan, who had a certain relationship with Lu Xuan, to invite him to give the dragons a check-up.
"Well, let's choose a day for the trip. I'll go to Thousand Dragon Lake with you to see those little dragons and draw blood for examination," Lu Xuan understood Huang Yuan's intention and readily agreed.
The last time, and even the time before that, the blood drawn from the flood dragons had not been used up. Lu Xuan was preparing in advance, taking this opportunity to gather more blood from the dragons.
"From other fellow disciples, I learned that Brother Lu has solved many spirit beast problems for them. So, I specially asked Sister Liu to help introduce us," the burly cultivator paused and slowly explained.
"Oh? I wonder what the specific problem is? If I have some confidence, I'll definitely do my best to help," Lu Xuan promised.
"It's like this."
"I've raised a pair of Snarling Shadow Beasts, one male and one female, both rare and precious fourth-grade spirit beasts, with exceptional talents in water and thunder techniques."
"Recently, the female beast entered the estrus phase and actively sought out the male beast. According to reason, the two beasts should mate and reproduce, but during the mating process, the male beast exhibited extremely abnormal behavior."
"As their interaction deepened, the male beast gradually lost his sanity, as if he were sinking into endless desire."
"Even more terrifyingly, he displayed an unusual desire towards his mating partner."
"He seemed to want to devour the female beast."
"At first, I thought it was because the male beast had been in heat for too long, which had caused temporary insanity. However, after a few days of observation and attempts to resolve it, I found that the situation had not improved, but worsened."
"Brother Lu, do you have any ideas?" the burly cultivator earnestly asked.
Upon hearing the situation, Lu Xuan frowned and fell into deep thought.
"I'm afraid that the female Snarling Shadow Beast's sudden estrus might have been triggered by some external factor, which in turn led to the male beast's unusual reaction."
"Furthermore, the male beast's desire to devour its mate suggests that there might be some hidden danger lurking within its body."
"This matter is indeed tricky. Senior Brother Zhong's efforts to resolve it are commendable, but it seems we need to find the root cause of the male beast's abnormal behavior before we can come up with a solution," Lu Xuan analyzed.
"Exactly! I also suspect that the root cause lies within the body of the male beast," Zhong Hao nodded in agreement.
"Brother Lu, do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?" he asked eagerly.
"In my opinion, we need to carefully inspect the male Snarling Shadow Beast's body and spirit, searching for any abnormalities," Lu Xuan suggested.
"Then, let's go to Thousand Beast Mountain and see the two spirit beasts," he continued.
The three discussed the matter for a while longer before deciding to leave for Thousand Beast Mountain the next day.
