BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76 - 75 Get Up the Poti
“Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts of third-grade and below…”
Lu Xuan murmured to himself, sweeping over the Spirit Field, his gaze focused
on the resting Red-bearded Carp in the Spiritual Spring Pool.
The Red-bearded Carp was an unranked Spirit Beast, and Lu Xuan planned to use it for his initial experiment.
He wrapped a Spiritual Power around one, gave a harsh pull, dragging it out of the Spiritual Spring Pool. Before the Red-bearded Carp could react, it was already in Lu Xuan’s Life Bag.
As he probed his Spiritual Sense into the dark green bag, the Red-bearded Carp floated amongst the chaos, shaking its tail, with its two thin, long red beards fluttering wildly.
With a thud, the Red-bearded Carp flew out of the Life Bag, smashing onto the surface of the Spiritual Spring Pool, startling the other two.
The three awakened Red-bearded Carp looked at each other dumbfounded, not knowing what had just happened.
“Little one, come here.”
Lu Xuan called over the eager Bi Jing Cloud Treading Mink from not far away.
The Civet juvenile gave Lu Xuan a cold glance, its cloud-like thick paws stepping silently on the ground, elegantly walked over.
“I will put you in there to have a try, you will be out soon.”
The Cloud Leopard nodded lightly.
Lu Xuan put it into the Life Bag and then took it out after a while.
“Roar…”
As soon as it landed, the Cloud Leopard called out softly, it was clear from its expression that it was not in a good mood, its voice much more delicate than usual.
Lu Xuan’s mind focused on it, and instantly knew the reason. The Civet had recollections of being trapped in a cage after being caught when it was inside the dimly lit Life Bag.
“Alright, don’t worry, I’ll leave you outside as much as possible when we go out, and 1 won’t put you in the bag unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Lu Xuan comforted him.
“Roar,” the Civet called out cheerfully. Its voice rose unconsciously. Due to its original rough and hoarse voice, it left a strong sense of dissonance.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
As dawn broke the next day, Lu Xuan got up and went to the Spirit Field where the Blood Jade Ginseng was. He separated the remaining clustered Blood Jade
Ginsengs.
Then he patrolled the Spirit Field once again, satisfying every tiny need of each Spirit Plant in various ways.
“Hmm?”
Finally, when he came to the Spiritual Spring Poolside, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
He saw a fist-sized White Light Group floating quietly on the water surface, refracting varying degrees of light as water rippled around it.
“This is…one of the Red-bearded Carp has matured?
A delighted expression crossed Lu Xuan’s face as he talked to himself. His mind swept across and quickly located the Red-bearded Carp that had matured.
“Go, fetch it out from the Spiritual Spring Pool.”
Pointing at the fattest Red-bearded Carp, he said to the Cloud Leopard. The Civet leapt forward, its hind paw lightly stepped on the water’s surface, and grabbed the Red-bearded Carp’s thin, long red beard.
The Red-bearded Carp was involuntarily brought out of the water. As it thought it would fall back into the Spiritual Spring Pool as usual, a Red Needle pierced its head, bringing it into the kitchen.
“Get the pan ready!”
“The day of maturity is the day of the pan, after eating so many Spirit Rice, it’s time for you to repay me.”
Rolling up his sleeves, Lu Xuan picked up the White Light Group floating in the Spiritual Spring Pool.
[Received one Red-bearded Carp, obtained second-grade magical tool Red
Scale Armor.]
A thought emerged from his mind, and a red inner armor appeared in his hand. The surface of the inner armor was covered with densely-packed scales resembling those of a fish, offering substantial defensive power.
Lu Xuan placed this second-grade Red Scale Armor into his storage bag and hurried to the kitchen.
The Slivered Silver Blade split into over ten silver fragments, which, within a few breaths, cleanly scraped the scales off of the recently deceased
Red-bearded Carp.
Lu Xuan gathered together two thin, long red whiskers along with numerous scales.
The Red-bearded Carp was merely a Rank-less Spirit Beast. Naturally, the whiskers and scale materials from its body couldn’t be exchanged for many Spirit Stones. However, Lu Xuan always despised waste, so he put everything into his storage bag.
After busying himself for nearly an hour, a pot of steaming fresh fish was brought to the table.
Lu Xuan picked up a piece, and instantly, a supremely savory taste filled his throat.
The moment it entered his abdomen, he immediately felt a warm heat wave flowing through his limbs and bones, warming his whole body.
“After accompanying me for so long, there are bound to be some feelings. It’s truly hard to let go…”
Tears of sadness couldn’t help but flow from the corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth. Thinking of how tiny the Red-bearded Carp was when he first bought it, and how he painstakingly raised it to maturity, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. He fiercely grabbed a large piece of fish meat, appeasing his sorrow with food.
Despite the tempting food in front of it, the Bi Jing Cloud Treading Mink still maintained its reserved and elegant posture, quietly lying at Lu Xuan’s feet, only continuously cry in a way that urged him to feed it more pieces of fish meat and bone.
Unable to resist its vaguely meaningful whining, Lu Xuan quickly stuffed a large piece of fish meat into its mouth.
“Senior Sister.”
Wang Chong’an gently knocked on the door, softly calling out.
With a creak, the door opened, and a girl in a red dress poked her head out.
“Junior Brother Wang, what’s the matter?”
“I’ve been searching the entire market, and I found some Spirit Fruits that your Spirit Beast could use. Senior Sister, you take them and see if the Red Demon is interested.”
The handsome young man Wang Chong’an’s mouth curved up, a hint of a smile making one feel like they are bathed in the warmth of spring.
“Thank you, Junior Brother Wang.”
The girl in the red dress accepted the fruit plate handed over by Wang Chong’an and entered the room. Not long after, she came out again, her face showing helplessness.
On the fruit plate, there were bite marks on several Spirit Fruits, but they were all just small bites. It was evident that the four-eyed Red Demon wasn’t very interested and didn’t have much of an appetite for these types of Spirit Fruits. “It’s still not working. The Red Demon has been eating Spirit Fruits cultivated by the Sect for a long time and is particularly picky. It has extremely high demands for the type and quality of Spirit Fruits.”
“Among these types of Spirit Fruits, although there are varieties it can eat, the quality is just average. It only took one bite and then stopped eating.
-The Red Demon is an odd beast, naturally, it wouldn’t look upon the wild fruits bred by ordinary Spirit Plant Masters that are sold in the market. I’ll go and ask around for Senior Sister again, to find its favorite Spirit Fruit as soon as possible.”
Wang Chong’an said with a smile. The girl in the red dress in front of him was naturally talented and extraordinary. The four-eyed Red Demon she was keeping was useful in following Demon Envoys in the market and opening up secret lands later. Therefore, he did his best to satisfy their various requirements.
“When it gets hungry enough, it will naturally eat anything.
Looking at the four-eyed Red Demon in the room, the girl in the red dress spoke somewhat irritatedly.
“Senior Sister, don’t put this on your mind for now. Outside, there are many talented young men from the various major powers in the market. They have long admired the Sect disciples and want to make their acquaintance. Why not go and clear your mind with me?”
“Alright.”
The girl in the red dress didn’t hesitate and agreed.
The three of them came to a secluded garden where the eaves were extended, and the water was meandering. More than a dozen young men and women were waiting in the pavilion, each with an extraordinary temperament. Among them was the granddaughter of the Baicao Hall Foundation Pill Master, He Yun Tong, who stood quietly in the corner with her eyes cast down submissively..
