Chapter 173: Not as good as a fellow student to send me off
“Thank you so much, Junior Brother Lu.”
Huang Yuan couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xuan agreed.
The outer disciples from other waters came to him and asked him to help contact Lu Xuan and draw blood to check the dragon python they raised.
If Lu Xuan refused, he would be a little embarrassed.
Huang Yuan flicked his right hand, a spiritual light flashed, and a flying boat magic weapon appeared on the ground.
The two boarded the flying boat, and the magic weapon turned into a stream of light and flew away into the distance.
Qianlong Lake is vast and stretches for hundreds of miles. Naturally, there are more than one place where there are first- and second-grade dragon pythons.
After a while, the two came to several stone houses.
As soon as they landed, several people rushed out in a hurry. When they saw Lu Xuan and the others, their eyes lit up.
“Senior Brother Huang, you are finally here. It really made me wait.”
“Is this Junior Brother Lu Xuanlu who was able to discover the traces of the parasitic Cryptoscale Fish? I have admired my name for a long time. I have admired my name for a long time.”
A monk with an old and steady face greeted the two of them warmly, grabbed Lu Xuan’s hand, and didn’t let go for a long time.
Lu Xuan broke away, cupped his fists and saluted:
“Hello, senior brother.”
“Senior Brother Zhang, I finally called Junior Brother Lu over, please don’t scare this big treasure away.”
Huang Yuan on the side teased.
Zhang Hao couldn’t help rubbing his hands and smiled.
Huang Yuan introduced each other to each other, and they walked into the stone house together.
“Senior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Lu are here this time to solve the problem of the hidden-scale fish parasitizing the dragon python. You should plan carefully and try your best to check the dragon monsters in this water area at once.”
Entering the stone house, Lu Xuan sat aside with a smile and said nothing. Huang Yuan went straight to the topic and said to Zhang Hao and others.
“As for the remuneration, Junior Brother Lu said he is only willing to get a little hard work fee, and the inspection price will be the same as before.”
“Every time a dragon python is inspected, two spirit stones need to be paid. If a fish with hidden scales or other abnormalities is found, twenty spirit stones are required for each one.”
“Senior Brother Zhang, what do you think?”
“That’s great. Junior Brother Lu is so generous in taking care of his fellow disciples!”
Zhang Hao said with a smile that he was prepared to check the price increase, but Lu Xuan gave him an unexpected surprise.
Those who raise dragons and giant python monsters are all ordinary outer disciples. Regardless of their origins or talents, they are not the best in the sect, so they have devoted countless efforts to the task of raising dragons.
Although each monk needs to pay about one hundred spiritual stones in total, it is nothing in front of the many rare and expensive dragons and pythons.
A few people chatted for a few words, and then someone took Lu Xuan to draw blood to check Jiaolong.
One by one, the dragons appeared in front of Lu Xuan under the control of the imitation dragon-binding rings.
He first raised a little bit of monster meat, learned detailed information about the dragon and its physical condition, and then began to draw the dragon’s essence and blood.
Over and over again, the dragons were delivered to him like an assembly line, and he repeated the actions over and over mechanically and numbly.
As the number of dragons drawing blood increased, the white jade vials used to hold the blood essence in the storage bag gradually became exhausted and became insufficient.
Lu Xuan took advantage of the gap between taking in and taking out, and mixed the essence and blood of dragons and pythons of the same species to get new empty white jade bottles, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of insufficient blood containers.
During this period, it was occasionally discovered that a fish with hidden scales was parasitic in the dragon’s body. Lu Xuan found it skillfully and let the monks deal with it on their own.
After being busy for almost a whole day, all the dragons and pythons in the water area where Zhang Hao was located were inspected.
Lu Xuan had drawn blood more than two hundred times in total, and the white jade vials in the storage bag were almost piled up into a small mountain.
“Senior Brother Zhang, all the dragon and giant pythons in the waters have been checked, and traces of several hidden-scale fish have been found. If there are more cases, the blood essence needs to be tested.”
Lu Xuan said to the steady monk with a tired look, but in fact he was extremely satisfied in his heart.
“Thanks to you, Junior Brother Lu, this time. If it weren’t for your help, based on our understanding of the dragon, we still don’t know how many years it would have taken to detect traces of the hidden scale fish.”
“This is what junior brother should do. If you want the dragons, giant pythons, etc. to grow healthily and quickly in the future, I will come over regularly to draw blood for them to check to prevent them from being invaded by other demonic insects and evil parasites.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao and others nodded in agreement.
It was getting late, and Lu Xuan and Huang Yuan decided to go back. The flying boat quickly grew in size, and the two of them jumped into the air.
The strong wind whistled in his ears, Lu Xuan looked back, and Zhang Hao and others were still standing there, watching him leave.
“This scene makes me feel inspired to write poems.”
Lu Xuan raised the corners of his mouth, thinking secretly in his heart.
“Lu Xuan is about to travel by boat.
Suddenly I heard singing on the shore.
The water of Qianlong Lake is thousands of feet deep, and it is not as good as the love sent to me by my fellow disciples…”
“Good poem, good poem~”
“Junior Brother Lu, we’ve arrived at the cave. It’s already getting late, so I won’t go in to ask for a cup of hot tea.”
Huang Yuan controlled the flying boat magic weapon and sent Lu Xuan all the way back to the vicinity of his cave.
“Okay, thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother Huang. I’ll have a good drink next time if I have a chance.”
Lu Xuan didn’t pretend to invite, he said directly.
After Huang Yuan left, he came to the outside of the courtyard gate and activated the formation. The thick white fog dissipated and the courtyard gate appeared clearly in front of him.
Pushing open the courtyard door, what you saw at first glance were two green eyes, which looked like ghostly fire in the dim light.
“A night owl.”
Lu Xuan fired a burst of spiritual power, and the light flashed, clearly revealing the surrounding situation in front of him.
The green eyes were naturally that of a lynx that walked on the clouds. Seeing Lu Xuan enter the room, it stretched its limbs lazily, and the two tufts of hair on the tips of its ears trembled happily.
“Ouch~”
A deep roar sounded, and the lynx walked away gracefully with its white soles like clouds.
Lu Xuan returned to the house and saw the young falcon lying gracelessly on the wooden bed, with its round belly facing up. It rose and fell with its breathing. Its two light blue bird legs were spread apart and stretched out from time to time. The blue wings were fidgeting with something on the body.
Lu Xuan cleaned up the many white jade bottles in the storage bag and collected the essence and blood of similar dragons and pythons together.
Although there are many different species among the dragon pythons, most of them are common species, so the degree of overlap is still quite high, and a lot of white jade bottles can be saved.
After the inventory was completed, Lu Xuan felt slightly tired after relaxing after having been tense all day facing numerous dragons and pythons.
After washing himself a little, he fell his head on the wooden bed, resting just right on the round belly of the young wind falcon.
“Comfortable~”
He couldn’t help sighing and quickly fell asleep.
The cloud-walking lynx on the side landed gently on the edge of the bed, its green eyes looking motionlessly at Lu Xuan in his dream.
