In the stone house by the lake

When Lu Xuan was about to receive the monster meat he had ordered, a high-level Qi practitioner came over.

“Junior Brother Lu, wait a moment, I have something to disturb you.”

“It turns out to be Senior Brother Li. What’s important?”

The visitor, like Lu Xuan, received the task of raising dragons and monsters. We would occasionally meet him when he came to the stone house, and we were just acquaintances.

“Junior Brother Lu, a dragon under my command was seriously injured yesterday. The reason for the serious injury is very simple. It was bullied by a group of dragons and pythons.”

“And this is not the first time this has happened. The group of dragon pythons that formed a partnership should be the dragons under the name of Junior Brother Lu, so I hope that Junior Brother Lu can restrain them.”

“In case of serious injury and death, it will not be good for both you and me.”

The senior Qi-training monk said with a gloomy expression.

“Really? I am only responsible for raising their monster meat. I don’t care about what they usually do.”

“Besides, there are so many dragons and giant pythons in Qianlong Lake, so Senior Brother Li is so sure that it was the dragon monster I raised that did it?”

Lu Xuan said with a stern expression.

“In several scenes of joint fights, there was a figure of a two-headed dragon. This is a strange dragon. It is rare to see it. Only Junior Brother Lu has one in the nearby waters.”

“Why does this two-headed dragon have two heads? The features are so obvious that it’s hard to disguise itself.”

Lu Xuan cursed secretly in his heart, maybe it was because he had been too restrained in recent times. After he was allowed to assist his companions, the fierce and aggressive two-headed dragon found a good opportunity to vent his anger. Whenever there was a fight, he would be the first to abuse him. Many other monks raised dragons and giant pythons.

“Oh, really? As for the two-headed dragon, it should be the one I raised. I’m not sure about the others.”

“Besides, it’s just children playing around, senior brother, don’t take it to heart.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“Junior brother, what you said is wrong. Whose kid would beat the other person half to death?”

The senior qi-training monk looked unhappy and said.

“Those dragons, giant pythons, and alien anacondas belong to different ethnic groups, with different levels of strength, and some are even natural enemies.”

“For them to join forces to deal with a dragon monster, is it possible that the dragon did something too much? Shouldn’t senior brother reflect on it?”

Lu Xuan argued.

“Yes, these dragons and giant pythons usually beat their heads to pieces and bleed bloody when they grab a piece of monster meat. They fight among themselves. How can they join forces to fight against foreign enemies?”

The high-level qi-training monk couldn’t help but be stunned.

A smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s lips, and he entered the stone house to receive the monster meat.

On the high platform, he picked up pieces of specially selected monster meat and threw it accurately to the area where the dragon and giant python were.

These dragon and giant pythons have long been accustomed to Lu Xuan’s feeding method, and they wait in their fixed area honestly and quietly.

“Um?”

Just after Lu Xuan threw out all the monster meat, a flaming red python attracted his attention.

The giant python raised its head high, and the fiery red scales all over its body were filled with spiritual energy, like balls of burning flames.

He screamed from time to time, as if he was experiencing unbearable pain.

After a long time, the flames reintegrated into the red scales, and Lu Xuan noticed that the spiritual power in the flaming red python suddenly increased a lot.

“Is this…promoted to the second level?”

Lu Xuan looked at this flaming red python and was overjoyed.

The fiery red giant python is called the Red-armored Python, a different species of python. It was previously in the first-grade stage. After careful cultivation and rationed supply, it was finally successfully promoted to the second-grade monster.

As far as he knew, if the dragons, giant pythons, etc. he raised were promoted in rank, he, as the breeder, would be able to receive considerable rewards.

The first-grade giant python and anaconda is promoted to the second-grade and is rewarded with ten sword seals. The second-grade is promoted to the third grade and is rewarded with fifty sword seals!

Not only did he keep every dragon well fed, but he also provided them with the most suitable monster meat according to their preferences and physical needs.

Under this tailor-made breeding method, the dragon pythons raised by oneself will definitely grow faster than those raised by others.

While Lu Xuan was thinking, a familiar voice came.

“Junior Brother Lu, are you raising dragons?”

Lu Xuan turned around and saw Huang Yuan, who had completed his Qi training, walking over with a smile.

“Yes, hello, Senior Brother Huang.”

“These dragons raised by Junior Brother Lu seem to be growing very well. I must ask Junior Brother Lu for advice when I have the opportunity.”

Huang Yuan said loudly with a smile.

“Senior Brother Huang, you’re welcome. What’s the matter with Senior Brother coming here?”

“That’s right, I heard that Junior Brother Lu, you were drawing blood from the dragons when you were raising them.”

“I personally feel that these dragons belong to the sect and cannot be offended or harmed. Moreover, this move is not conducive to the growth of the dragons. What do you think, Junior Brother Lu?”

“I was reported by my classmates…”

Lu Xuan immediately thought of the fellow disciple whose subordinate Jiaolong was seriously injured.

He paused and composed his tone.

“Senior brother, I am just extracting a little bit of blood from them. It will not damage their roots.”

“Moreover, the purpose is to conduct a detailed full-body examination on them, to find out some of their previous hidden diseases, and to rule out any contamination caused by dirty things.”

Lu Xuan said grandly.

“Really? The blood was drawn to check them?”

Huang Yuan was dubious.

“Of course it is true, including the previous customized recipes, in order to make them grow quickly. No, a first-grade alien python has been promoted to a second-grade.”

Lu Xuan pointed to the red-armored python below that had not retreated, and said confidently.

“Junior Brother Lu has just been here to raise dragon monsters for more than a month, and the alien giant python has been promoted to the second level. The improvement effect is remarkable.”

“However, this does not mean that it is entirely your fault, Junior Brother Lu. After all, these giant pythons and anacondas are alien species, and promotion to the second-grade stage is a matter of course.”

Before Huang Yuan finished speaking, he saw a sudden movement in the water below, and a snow-white chilong emerged from the bottom of the lake.

Chilong’s body was filled with cold air, freezing the surrounding waters into pieces of ice.

Huge amounts of spiritual energy surged from all over Qianlong Lake, and were all absorbed into the body by the snow-white chilong.

“This is……”

Huang Yuan was stunned on the spot, with half surprise and three parts uncertainty in his eyes.

“Senior Brother Huang, there is something I don’t understand.”

“I dare to ask senior brother, if the promotion from the first grade to the second grade is a matter of course, then the promotion of the second grade to the third grade is also a matter of course?”

Lu Xuan looked at Huang Yuan with a smile.

“This Ice Chi is really pretty. He chose such a good time to be promoted. It’s worth the amount of ice attribute monster meat I usually feed you.”

Deep in his heart, he gave a thumbs up to Bing Chi who was promoted to the third level Chi Dragon.
