“Wow!”

As Lu Xuan was guessing, the Ink-scaled Jiao next to him couldn’t help but arch its long body, vomiting a pile of Demon Beast’s Flesh and Blood remnants.

“It’s been like this for the past two months. Whenever it eats a little more Demon Beast meat, it often vomits. Now, it can only absorb Spiritual Energy to maintain its bodily functions,” came the voice of the middle-aged scholar from behind.

“During this period of food aversion, I’ve tried quite a few methods, such as changing the type of Demon Beast meat, changing the environment of the Ink-scaled Jiao, and even examining if it’s having reactions due to pregnancy, but to no avail,” he said, and seeing that Lu Xuan remained silent, he couldn’t help but ask.

“Disciple Lu, have you noticed anything?”

Lu Xuan contemplated in his heart, and then turned his head to respond.

“I do have a clue, but it still needs validation.”

“Uncle Yang, may I extract a bit of the essence blood from the Ink-scaled Jiao’s body to test my theory?”

“NO problem.” Seeing Lu Xuan’s confident tone, the middle-aged scholar affirmed.

Only then did Lu Xuan feel at ease. Given his current Perfect Qi Training Cultivation Level, ordinary means would hardly breach the defenses of this third-grade Ink-scaled Jiao, hence, he needed the consent and assistance of the middle-aged scholar.

The middle-aged scholar restrained the Ink-scaled Jiao and pierced through the Ink-yu Scale Armor using a cone-shaped magical artifact, allowing Lu Xuan to fill a bottle with blood.

Although he already had a clear idea of the root problem behind the food aversion of the Ink-scaled Jiao, without concrete evidence to backhis claims, he needed to demonstrate the unique traits of the Jiao Dragon Bloodline in front of Yang Qingfeng for him to truly believe his words.

Furthermore, Lu Xuan also had a small wish – to take the opportunity to take away some Black-scaled Flood Dragon Pure Blood, and use it to enhance the quality of the Jiao Vine.

“To slightly enhance the quality of the Jiao Vine, I am ready to take the risk,” Lu Xuan sighed inwardly, his focus on the freshly harvested blood from the

Ink-scaled Jiao.

The blood was ink green, flickering with sparkling light spots, a clear indicator of the richness of the imbued Spiritual Power.

“Uncle Yang, since young, I’ve been greatly interested in Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast, have read many scriptures about them, and also have quite some experience in breeding and planting them.

“In one of the scriptures, I’ve seen a behavioral trait similar to that of an ink-scaled Jiao. It says that a kind of mystical creature called Qingmiao Chi Dragon has dietary habits starkly different from the common Jiaolong and

Chilong.”

“It doesn’t fancy Demon Beast’s Flesh and Blood, but instead, prefers Spirit

Fruits and Spirit Leaves.”

■■I guess this Ink-scaled Jiao’s situation is very similar.”

Lu Xuan solemnly stated.

“Qingmiao Chi Dragon? But this is an Ink-scaled Jiao, which is totally different from Qingmiao Chi Dragon,” the middle-aged scholar asked with a puzzled look.

“Does Uncle have any abnormal or dirty items? We will know once we try.” Upon hearing this, the scholar took out a finger bone from his storage bag. The bone was gray and white, surrounded by black air. The entire piece was tightly wrapped with a second-grade Spirit Cleansing Talisman, constantly neutralizing the surrounding black air.

He tore off the talisman, and immediately, the black air enveloping the finger bone rapidly spread.

Lu Xuan held the bottle not far above the finger bone, and dropped several drops of Ink-scaled Jiao’s blood onto the grayish-white bone.

As soon as the ink-green blood fell on the grayish-white bone, a hissing sound was heard, and the black air around it dissipated quite a lot.

“The blood of the Ink-Scaled Jiao can purify the evil air?”

Seeing this, the middle-aged scholar couldn’t help but shout in astonishment. This utterly contradicted his years of understanding about rearing Ink-scaled Jiao.

“The Qingmiao Chi Dragon’s blood is special. It has the ability to purify evil and filthy substances, just like what happened now,” Lu Xuan told him.

Lu Xuan calmly spoke.

■■Now that you mention it, I seem to recall something about the Qingmiao Chi Dragon’s abilities. I think I heard about it a long time ago.”

-It was probably more than ten years ago when a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Departure Mountain Sect came to visit. He had a Qingmiao Chi Dragon with him. I almost forgot about it until you brought it up.’ A look of reminiscence appeared on the scholar in his middle age’s face. Seemingly lost in thought, he suddenly looked angry and began to grit his teeth.

■■That damn old Zhu! He visited our sect, and I kindly let him keep his spirit beast in our lake.”

-His beast had the nerve to mate with my Ink-Scaled Jiao? And they even produced a small jiao dragon with Qingmiao Chi Dragon bloodline?” The scholar quickly sorted out his thoughts and spoke angrily.

Lu Xuan and Huang Yuan lowered their heads to avoid the scholar catching their stifled laughter.

He coughed gently, composed himself, and then tried to console the man. “Uncle Yang, misfortune is often a blessing in disguise. Because of that experience, an extraordinarily talented Ink-Scaled Jiao was bom.” At Lu Xuan’s words, the middle-aged cultivator’s face slightly brightened. He looked strangely at the male Jiao that remained loyal to the mother Jiao.

The Male Jiao was oblivious to what happened and continued to demonstrate its deep affection for the mother Jiao.

“What can be done about it? We just have to make do, I guess.”

He hesitated for a moment before finally sighing out.

“So this Ink-Scaled Jiao only rejects the flesh and blood of demon beasts and desires to eat spirit fruits and spirit leaves?”

“Yes, indeed. Due to the increasing influence of the Qingmiao Chi Dragon bloodline, the Ink-Scaled Jiao has become increasingly repulsed by flesh and blood, even showing signs of vomiting. This issue can be resolved merely by feeding it Spirit Fruits.”

Feeding Spirit Fruits to an inherently aggressive Ink-Scaled Jiao sounds absurd, but the facts speak for themselves.

Lu Xuan took several Spirit Fruits out of his storage bag and offered them to the frail Ink-Scaled Jiao.

The Ink-Scaled Jiao’s eyes brightened as it smelled the refreshing fragrance of the Spirit Fruit. Unable to resist, it gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

It extended its tongue, swallowing several Spirit Fruits all at once.

The three of them waited for a moment. After swallowing the Spirit Fruits, the Ink-Scaled Jiao didn’t exhibit any signs of vomiting. On the contrary, it seemed more energetic.

“So the problem lay here. This Ink-Scaled Jiao, looking as robust as ever, actually had the lineage of the Qingmiao Chi Dragon.”

The middle-aged scholar could not help but marvel. Once the problem was identified, the solution was straightforward. Yet, who could have imagined an Ink-Scaled Jiao, which typically feeds on Demon Beast’s flesh and blood, deviating from the norm and opting for Spirit Fruits and Spirit Leaves instead. “Uncle Yang, what about the remaining Essence Blood of this Ink-Scaled Jiao?” Lu Xuan seized the opportunity and, holding up the bottle containing most of the Essence Blood, asked the middle-aged scholar.

“Being able to solve the problem of the Ink-Scaled Jiao refusing to eat is entirely your achievement, Lu. So, this Essence Blood is yours. You can use it to craft charms and concoct elixirs.”

“I’ll offer you additional rewards later.

The middle-aged scholar said with a smile.

“Thank you, Uncle!” Lu Xuan thanked quickly, subtly putting the Essence Blood of the Ink-Scaled Jiao into his storage bag.

He looked at the Ink-Scaled Jiao, now satisfied and returned to the male Jiao, and had an amusing thought.

“This Ink-Scaled Jiao only thrives in a single, pure, spiritual environment, it loves Spirit Fruits and Spirit Leaves, and it has shiny black scales…” “Environmentalism, plus vegetarianism, plus the color…

“The buff is almost stacked up….”
