Chapter 467: Dedicated to the Sect!
"The so-called Dao soldiers, soldiers who practice Dao, can condense the spiritual power of numerous Spirit Beasts, unify them as one, and fight together against enemies.”
"There are many methods to refine Dao soldiers, the most common of which is to continuously train Spirit Beasts, using special methods to inscribe array patterns on the Spirit Beasts. By relying on the power of Formations, the power of all Spirit Beasts can be unified.”
"The experiment I am conducting in the Forbidden Land is another method, somewhat more extreme than the first. By improving the bloodline of ferocious beasts through experimentation, we can select special Dao soldiers that meet the requirements. These Dao soldiers are more powerful, with purer bloodline power and lower spiritual intelligence. They can absolutely obey orders, they are pure instruments of slaughter.”
Old Fox slowly explained.
"It’s like highly-advanced puppets that can gather similar powers.”
Lu Xuan quietly evaluated in his heart.
"Thanks for enlightening me.”
"Those in the Forbidden Land are either ferocious beasts that have committed grave errors or strange evil beasts. Using them for experimentation, refining Dao soldiers, is quite justified.”
He said to the Old Fox, completely indifferent to these experiments on ferocious beasts, even feeling justified.
The old fox took a glance at Lu Xuan, a hint of a smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.
A ‘I knew you would understand’ expression.
"Once I’m done with the experiment, I’ll call you over to sense the condition of the ferocious beasts and evil beasts.”
It slowly said to Lu Xuan.
"No problem, I am at your command.”
Lu Xuan replied humbly.
"One thing you need to take into consideration, a large proportion of those experimental subjects are mysterious and strange demonic beasts. Even if their movements have been restrained, long-term contact will inevitably influence you. I am the perfect example.”
"Although you are not an experimenter, just sensing the evil beasts, it would still be best to be aware of these risks.”
"Thank you for the reminder, I’ll keep that in mind.”
Lu Xuan still has quite a few Lotus Seeds of the Earth Fire Heart Lotus and the Cloud Mountain Jade Tablets that can remove the Evil Spite Qi. Naturally, he won’t worry about this.
After learning about Old Fox’s intentions to experiment on the ferocious beasts and demonic beasts, he has new questions. What is the purpose of this Fifth-Rank Qingqiu Fox Spirit Beast doing all these?
When he first met the Old Fox, he sensed the indifference of this Fifth-Rank Spirit Beast and its inhuman nature. Plus, it always stayed in this dark, forbidding land, dealing with these ferocious and evil beasts every day.
Lu Xuan smiled and entered the forbidden area with ease.
First, he went to the bald monk to recycle some demonic beast scraps, swept the demonic beast’s Yin souls in the hole with the Soul Lantern, then checked on the hybrid demonic beasts’ breeding situation, drew blood to observe as the old fox requested, and finally sensed the specific states of a few stitched-up demonic beasts.
After doing all this, Lu Xuan approached where the old fox was and shared his guesses with it.
The old fox nodded approvingly.
"Elder, this is a spiritual juice that I made myself. It’s made from various types of spirit fruit and it has a wonderful, ever-changing taste. Please, try it.”
Lu Xuan offered a bottle of spiritual juice.
At first, he thought the old fox was difficult to approach and thus had never tried to feed it and get to know it. After some time, Lu Xuan felt the distance between them had lessened greatly, and thus he was confident to feed it openly.
The old fox caught no suspicion and sniffed the bottle before taking a sip.
"Good spiritual juice! I haven’t tasted this Hundred Fruit Spiritual Juice in a long time.”
A glimmer of reminiscence flashed in its eyes.
Lu Xuan’s consciousness quietly concentrated on the fox, a sequence of images immediately began flashing through his mind.
As a member of the Qingqiu Fox tribe, it had encountered a tragedy when it went out one day. At the brink of death, there appeared a Jindan cultivator from the Sky Sword Sect who rescued it.
Seriously injured, it was brought back to the Sky Sword Sect. The cultivator went to great lengths to find Beast Masters and gather various healing pills and treasures, eventually healing it with meticulous care.
Unable to return to its own tribe, it had no choice but to stay at the Sect. Every day, it looked towards the direction of Qingqiu Mountain, longing from afar.
Then, it gradually became accustomed to its new identity. It grew up and realized its own talents. Its sense of belonging to the Sky Sword Sect grew stronger, and it eventually became the Guardian Beast of the Sect.
As its lifespan was drawing to an end, it had the intense desire to do something for the Sect. Using the Dao soldier information that appeared after awakening its bloodline, it decided to conduct its own experiment, using the ferocious and evil beasts confined in the restricted area as experimental materials.
There was also a strong thought in its heart: before dying, it wanted to transform its Fifth-Rank Spirit Beast body into a Dao soldier leader, to repay the life-saving kindness from before, and to indefinitely remain within the Sect, giving the Sect its remaining light and heat.
The life of the Qingqiu fox spirit beast turned into countless images, flashing through Lu Xuan’s mind like a lantern, finally condensing into a thought.
[Qingqiu Fox, Fifth-Rank Spirit Beast, originates from the Qingqiu Fox Demon tribe. Exceptionally talented, immensely powerful.]
[Due to long-term contact with ferocious and evil beasts his lifespan is nearing its end. It has been polluted by the large amount of evil spite qi, resentful qi, and yin qi that invaded its body, causing its demonic power to change abnormally and influencing its life force.]
