I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates - Chapter 369
Chapter 369: Chapter 367 Blue Qiu Spirit Ricel
One was incredibly fast, controlling the Power of Thunder and Lightning, the other had a robust body and unique bloodline. A battle was on the verge of breaking out.
The two young beasts no longer had the aerial advantage they used to have when fighting other Spirit Beasts. The battle suddenly heated up.
The Four-winged Thunder Tiger, slightly faster, circled around the Lion Bird Beast, avoiding direct confrontations and occasionally releasing more than a dozen rays of Lightning Spirit Light towards its opponent.
The Lion Bird Beast, as steady as a mountain, dodged the Lightning Spirit Light while waiting for the right moment to act. If it couldn’t dodge, it would resist with its Flesh Body.
From time to time, it spat out balls of Spiritual Power or sharp claws that made crescent-shaped Spirit Blades.
After a while, the Lion Bird Beast showed signs of exhaustion, gradually declining.
Seeing this, the Four-winged Thunder Tiger could not restrain itself. Confident in its speed, it approached the Lion Bird Beast in a flash. Hundreds of Thunderbolts formed a large white area, bombarding the Lion Bird Beast while it fiercely pounced on its opponent, exposing sharp fangs.
Under the bombardment of numerous thunderbolts, the Lion Bird Beast felt a tingling sensation surge within its body. Looking at the near opponent, it was overcome by a sense of powerlessness.
“Is this the end?”
This thought flashed through its mind, followed by a series of images.
Being scolded as a mongrel Demon Beast, having low Spiritual Intelligence, understanding nothing but brute force, and then the advent of Lu Xuan, like a ray of light illuminating the darkest depths of its heart.
“Can I do it?”
“I can do it!”
“Roar!”
It roared angrily, blood gushing with infinite power. The body swelled instantaneously, facing the thunderbolts, the pair of meat wings firmly held the Four-winged Thunder Tiger.
Unbothered by the Thunderbolts falling on it, the mind of the Lion Bird Beast was left with only one thought – to defeat its opponent!
The two young beasts entered a standoff.
One was firmly locked down, and the other had to resist the severe damage inflicted by the thunderbolts.
Relying on its inner faith, the Lion Bird Beast refused to let go for a long time.
Eventually, the Four-winged Thunder Tiger was the first to lose. It let out a mournful cry, passing on a thought of pleading for mercy to its opponent.
The Lion Bird Beast, too weak to release its large wings, was rapidly reduced in body size, bearing a scorched smell and free-falling.
A figure flew past, and Lu Xuan easily held the young body of the Lion Bird Beast and gently placed it on the ground.
“It’s just a small test, why such a burst of enthusiasm?”
He sighed softly, looking helplessly at the scorched young beast on the ground.
The Lion Bird Beast lay still on the ground with its eyes tightly closed, seemingly not hearing Lu Xuan’s words.
Lu Xuan, seeing this, had the green light cluster inside his Dantian gently rotate; a strand of Qingmu Origin Energy covered the Lion Bird Beast’s charred wounds.
Qingmu Origin Energy harbored strong vitality; its healing effect was extremely good. In less than a moment, all wounds on the Lion Bird Beast’s body were scabbed over, and pink tender flesh grew under the scabs.
After treating the Lion Bird Beast, Lu Xuan went to the Four-winged Thunder Tiger nursing its wounds alone and completely healed it as well.
Once both beasts had recovered, he took out some Beast Spirit Pills and Ice Fire Spirit Fruit from his storage bag as rewards. The rewards were given to various young beasts according to their rankings.
The last eight won excellence prizes, ensuring that each Spirit Beast could get a piece of the reward.
With Lu Xuan solving one problem after another, the taming of the Spirit Beasts got on track.
Every day after feeding the Spirit Fruit and Demon Beast Meat, he would check the detailed status of the Spirit Beasts and make corresponding adjustments to ensure the healthy growth of the Spirit Beasts.
At the same time, he would choose the ingredients that the different Spirit Beasts liked or were best suited to them according to their tastes, thus ensuring a secure supply line.The taming stage does not simply involve stuffing training content down the throats of creatures. Instead, training techniques are individualized according to the unique characteristics and behaviors of each Spirit Beast, so as to play to their strengths and supplement their weaknesses.
Occasionally, one-on-one remedial lessons are given to creatures like the Lion Bird Beast to prevent them from falling too far behind and losing confidence.
For most of the problematic mystical beasts, the only issue left unsolved was that of the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon.
As a production Spirit Beast, the main function of the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon was to produce highly rare and valuable Colorful Pheasant Eggs for the Sect.
Yet, going on two or three months, there was no activity in the juvenile beast’s abdomen, no sign of laying eggs at all.
However, the Pheasant Demon showed no issues during this period.
Since it was caught red-handed by Lu Xuan for cheating in the first patience test using Illusion Techniques, it had drawn lessons from it. Afterwards, it began to accept taming obediently, neither exemplary nor failing.
It was content to stay in the middle to low end of the spectrum, getting by day by day.
It only ate until it was half full when enjoying Spirit Rice each day and did not retain any extra Spiritual Power. As such it was unable to consolidate the essence and lay a Spirit Egg.
Lu Xuan felt helpless regarding its laid-back attitude.
Whether to lay the egg or not was entirely up to the Pheasant Demon and there was no right or wrong in it.
After quietly observing for a period, he decided to start with the Spirit Rice.
“You want to stick to being half-full every day? Then I’ll get your favorite Spirit Rice, to see if you can resist the temptation.”
Apart from the Spirit Rice provided by the Taming Beast Hall, he managed to get hold of several different kinds of Spirit Rice from a familiar Spirit Plant Master in the sect. He prepared these in different ways and fed them to the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon. By observing its state, he figured out its preferences.
In the end, he did indeed find a type of Spirit Rice that it liked.
“Come on, come on, let’s improve your meals today.”
Lu Xuan scattered a handful of Spirit Rice in front of the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon.
The Spirit Rice was light blue in color, round, and full of grain. It was highly elastic. It acted like little balls as it fell to the ground, bouncing and jumping, attracting the attention of the Pheasant Demon.
This was named Blue Qiu Spirit Rice, of the second grade, full of rich Spiritual Power and was the favorite food of poultry and bird Demon Beasts.
As the Blue Qiu Spirit Rice bounced on the ground, it seemed to stimulate some inherent gift inside the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon. It extended its colorful wings, pawing at the Blue Qju Spirit Rice on the ground and swallowed them one after the other.
In this way, unknown to itself, the Pheasant Demon swallowed all the Blue Qiu Spirit Rice.
Lu Xuan followed the same method, feeding the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon more and more of its favorite Blue Qiu Spirit Rice.
With the delicious food in the meeting, the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon with its limited Spiritual Intelligence, lost its rationality and was completely immersed in the taste.
As a result, the Spiritual Power in its body was gradually increasing. All it needed was an opportunity to lay a precious and rare Colorful Pheasant Egg.
As for that opportunity, Lu Xuan had been prepared for it. He decided to give the underaged Spirit Beast a little shock…
Cue chicken scene!
Under the guidance of the Ecstasy Heart Sutra, he did not believe in celibacy.
If there are no desires, then some could be stimulated.
Lu Xuan summoned the Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon and closed the door, standing with his hands behind his back and looking calm.
“I summoned you here because I want to challenge you to a duel of Illusion Techniques.”
“I have a magic artifact for Illusion Techniques, a fourth-grade one. If you fix your gaze on it, you will be irresistibly drawn into the magic illusion.”
“I know you have a great talent in Illusion Techniques, so I want to make a bet with you. If you can resist my magic artifact for half an hour without being affected, I will let you do as you wish afterward.”
“But if you show any reaction, then from now on, you have to produce Colorful Pheasant Eggs on a regular basis. How about it?”
