-The place we’re going to is a small island belonging to a Foundation Establishment Uncle Master named Yang Qing Feng, who is at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term Realm.”
“He is raising nine Jiaolong and Chilong on that island, all of them are at the third-grade stage, among which four are Ink-Scaled Jiao, and the other five are of different species.”
The two continued deeper into Thousand Dragon Lake, with Huang Yuan constantly briefing Lu Xuan on the situation.
The closer they got to the center of Thousand Dragon Lake, the richer and purer the Spiritual Energy became. Occasionally, they would see giant Jiaolong emerging from the water surface, frolicking and playing.
“That’s the small island up ahead. There are many islands in the center of Thousand Dragon Lake, all hidden by formations in the past, making them difficult to spot from above.”
Huang Yuan pointed to a foggy island in front.
When the two arrived at the edge of the island, he took out a communication talisman, whispered a few words to the charm, which then turned into a paper bird and dove into the fog.
“Huang, my nephew, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
A middle-aged scholar walked out of the fog, nodded slightly at Huang Yuan, and curiously looked at Lu Xuan standing beside him.
“Is this the friend Lu you mentioned, nephew?
■’Uncle Yang, indeed, this is Junior Brother Lu. He has some insights on raising Jiaolong, so I brought him over to have a look at the Ink-Scaled Jiao you’ve been raising. Junior Brother Lu, this is Uncle Yang.
“Hello, Uncle Yang.” Lu Xuan hastily greeted him.
“Disciple Lu, I have heard about your endeavor of raising the Jiaolong Python in Thousand Dragon Lake, the idea of tailor-made recipes for your Jiaolong Python and so forth has a touch of creativity, and is worth learning for our fellow disciples.”
-However, it involves many aspects, each Jiaolong has its own taste and needs, which need to be summed up properly, as well as how to train them to eat quietly, among other issues. It is hard to achieve the results you have in a short time.”
The middle-aged scholar said to Lu Xuan with a smile on his face, full of affirmation in his tone.
“Uncle, you are over-praising me. I have just been lucky.
Lu Xuan replied modestly.
The three entered into the formation.
“Disciple Lu, as for the situation of my Ink-Scaled Jiao, Nephew Huang must have already briefed you about it.
The Ink-Scaled Jiao has exceptional talent and immense potential, but if it keeps refusing to eat demon beast meat to promote growth, its growth will be greatly impacted.
This time I asked you over in the hopes that you can carefully observe it and find out the root cause of its anorexia.”
The middle-aged scholar said to Lu Xuan with a kind expression.
“I will surely do my utmost to help you solve this problem, Uncle.” In the center of the island was a small lake. The lake was so deep that its bottom could not be seen, and it was connected to the bottom of Thousand Dragon Lake.
-My nine Jiaolong usually stay in this lake, and if they want to go out, they can also enter Thousand Dragon Lake from the bottom of the lake.”
“I have arranged a Spirit Gathering Array around this lake, where the spiritual energy is even richer than in the center of Thousand Dragon Lake.” “The Ink-Scaled Jiao has high environmental requirements and does not like any dirty or turbid objects in its living area. If there are too many Jiaolong , around, they will feel that the aura is complicated, which affects their growt . While speaking, the middle-aged scholar let out a clear whistle towards the lake. After a few moments, several Jiaolongs burrowed out from the bottom of the lake, shuttling back and forth across the surface and stirring up layers o ripples.
Four of the Jiaolongs were particularly attention-catching, their scales were shiny black, just like ink jade.
■Those four are the Ink-Scaled Jiao. Two of them are a pair, and the other two smaller ones are their offspring.”
“The noticeably smaller one inside is the Ink-Scaled Jiao that recently developed an anorexia problem,” he said.
LU Xuan followed the middle-aged scholar’s gaze. Among the four Ink-Scaled jiaos two of them were a proud and strong couple, continuously entangled with each other. They were probably the couple that the scholar had mentioned. Of the two remaining, one was significantly thinner, its body size two rings smaller than the other three.
“Among the two younger Ink-Scaled Jiaos, the one experiencing anorexia has superior talent. Within a short span, less than ten years, it elevated to a Third Grade Level. There is a high chance that its Rank could surpass that of its parents,” the middle-aged scholar regretfully said.
Demon beasts possess long lives, and this Ink-Scaled Jiao, not even ten years old, has already advanced to the Third Stage, demonstrating its extraordinary talent.
“Uncle Master, could you call the anorexic Ink-Scaled Jiao over for a while, I need to examine it,” Lu Xuan requested.
The middle-aged scholar, Yang Qing Feng, nodded gently and quickly. The slim Ink-Scaled Jiao appeared in front of the three.
Lu Xuan crouched down, meticulously observing every part of the Ink-Scaled Jiao’s body.
After joining the Sky Sword Sect, he greatly supplemented his knowledge about Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast. His head was filled with various knowledge and common senses, which were nothing like before. Some prevalent problems with spirit beasts don’t require ‘raising’ to discover and solve.
“Hmm, I still need to feed the Ink-Scaled Jiao to see,” Lu Xuan thought to himself impassively, as he had anticipated this outcome. After all, the Ink-scaled Jiao has been dealing with anorexia for some time. If the problem was simple, other cultivators who have abundant nurturing experience would have solved it already. It wouldn’t be his turn.
“Uncle Master, could you give me a small piece of Demon Beast Meat that’s used to feed the Ink-scaled Jiao? I want to see its response after eating,” Lu Xuan requested.
The middle-aged scholar was prepared for Lu Xuan’s request and took out a piece of fresh monster meat, the size of a washbasin, from his storage bag. -This is the meat of a Tier-2 Demonic Beast, right? The Ink-scaled Jiao, which has the potential of a Grade 5 Demon Beast, really has quite luxurious daily food,” Lu Xuan exclaimed before offering the demon beast meat to the Ink-scaled Jiao.
The Ink-Scaled Jiao looked at the piece of meat in his hand with a clear aversion in its eyes, shaking its large, black tail uneasily in the water. Seeing this, the middle-aged scholar quickly comforted it, giving Lu Xuan the chance to put the meat in the Ink-Scaled Jiao’s mouth.
The Ink-Scaled Jiao swallowed the demon beast meat in one go. Lu Xuan felt a little relieved. Having completed the ‘feeding’ procedure, the chance of him resolving the Ink-Scaled Jiao’s anorexia issue increased significantly. He concentrated his spiritual energy on the weak Ink-Scaled Jiao.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Ink-Scaled Jiao, a third-grade Jiaolong, in its growth period. A complete Ink-Scaled Jiao is a treasure in its entirety. The obsidian scales on its body can be used to craft high-grade magical items, and its dragon’s blood, tendons, and bones are all rare ingredients.]
[This is a different species of Drake, a result of the combination of a Qingmiao Chi Dragon and an Ink-Scaled Jiao. It carries in its veins a bit of the Qingmiao Chi Dragon’s original power, which, as the Drake matures, gradually awakens and can purify anything defiled.]
[Affected by the Qingmiao Chi Dragon’s original power, it likes to eat Purity items, such as Spirit Fruits and Spirit Leaves, and abhors meat. If it eats too much meat, it will have adverse reactions.]
“This… is a lot of information…”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help looking up at the loving couple of Ink-Scaled Jiaos in the distance, thinking he saw a hint of green on the male Jiao’s black head.
“SO this means that this anorexic Ink-Scaled Jiao is a Hybrid Flood Dragon, it’s just that the mix is not very apparent, and it doesn’t show from the exterior.” -The bloodline inside its body is hugely affected by the other Qingmiao Chi Dragon, causing a vast change in its habits.” ■■So, it ended up becoming a vegetarian after mixing and mixing?” Lu Xuan guessed in his heart..
