You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 269: Draining the Blood of a Thousand Dragons in a Day

Lu Xuan returned to the mountain peak and found an empty spiritual field. He performed the Earth Drawing Technique and buried three sword nurturing gourds' spiritual seeds into the spiritual soil.

Soon, spiritual energy surged, and threads of spiritual rain drifted down, seeping into the spiritual soil, nourishing the sword nurturing gourds' spiritual seeds to their fullest.

After initiating the vitality of the gourd's spiritual seeds, he took out several second-hand flying swords from his storage bag and placed them around the seeds, allowing them to absorb the residual sword intent.

There were not many resources in Sword Gate Town, mostly scattered cultivators. It was easy to find a large number of second-hand flying swords at low prices. Lu Xuan had prepared quite a few in his storage bag.

After planting the sword nurturing gourds, he returned to his house and took out two jade slips inscribed with the refinement methods of the Flame Fruit and Ice Lotus Fruit spiritual seeds, pressing them against his forehead.

His spiritual sense entered the jade slips, and a vast amount of information flooded into his mind like a bursting dam, including refinement methods, timing, precautions, storage methods, and more for the two spiritual seeds.

"Obtaining the refinement methods for the Flame Fruit and Ice Lotus Fruit spiritual seeds means I can freely cultivate spiritual fruits in the future," Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

The next day, he got up early and visited the spiritual field, gifting a strand of Green Wood Source Qi to the Grass Puppets that had worked tirelessly day and night, causing them to instantly flourish with lush greenery.

After nurturing all the spiritual plants, he planned to visit Thousand Dragon Lake to see his old friends and give a check-up to the hundreds of dragons and strange serpents in the lake.

He had originally thought that the large amount of dragon essence blood he had drawn before would last for many years. But with the emergence of the Blood-Devouring Vine, a vampire that consumed blood, the few hundred bottles of dragon essence blood he had were no longer sufficient.

Considering his cultivation of the "Tai Xu Transformation of Dragons" and nurturing dragon vines, he decided to draw another wave of dragon essence blood to be prepared for any situation.

At the shore of Thousand Dragon Lake,

Lu Xuan sat on a spiritual crane, gazing at the familiar wooden house below, feeling nostalgic.

Apart from his own cave dwelling, this place was where he had spent the longest time in the sect.

"I wonder how those little dragonlings I raised before are doing now..."

Lost in thought, as a majestic spiritual crane gracefully descended, cultivators inside the stone house, sensing movement outside, came out and looked towards Lu Xuan.

"Senior Brother Lu..."

Leading the group was Huang Yuan, who still managed this area. Upon seeing Lu Xuan, he instinctively wanted to greet him as junior brother, but immediately realized the current situation and changed his address in an instant.

Lu Xuan had spent quite a long time raising dragons under his care. He used to be the junior brother following behind, but now he had become a Foundation Establishment senior brother to whom Huang Yuan had to look up. This change made Huang Yuan feel somewhat uncomfortable, but the disparity in cultivation level left him with no room for disrespect.

"Huang Junior Brother."

Lu Xuan nodded gently.

"No need to be so formal. I've spent so much time here before, and with you and other familiar faces, there's no need to stand on ceremony."

Lu Xuan waved his hand.

Huang Yuan ushered Lu Xuan into the stone house, serving spiritual fruit and tea. After some casual conversation, Lu Xuan noticed a cultivator carrying a huge wooden barrel to feed the dragons and giant pythons. He turned to Huang Yuan and spoke.

"Huang Junior Brother, could you take me to the wooden platform where I used to raise dragons before? It's been a long time, and I miss them quite a bit."

"Of course, I'll arrange it right away."

As a Foundation Establishment senior brother made the request, Huang Yuan naturally couldn't refuse. After a brief preparation, he took a large amount of fresh demon beast meat and headed to the wooden platform where Lu Xuan had previously raised dragons.

"After Senior Brother left, due to the continuous breakthroughs among those dragons and the training they received from Senior Brother, this area became a must-fight place for many senior brothers."

"However, as time passed, for some reason, the dragons no longer lined up for meals as they did at the beginning. They gradually became no different from other dragons in other waters."

En route, Huang Yuan detailed the situation of the dragons Lu Xuan used to raise.

Lu Xuan nodded in understanding.

When he previously raised them, Lu Xuan exercised both kindness and authority. He custom-tailored diets for each dragon, which allowed him to control them effectively.

Later caretakers, even if they used the same types and quantities of demon beast meat to feed the dragons and giant pythons, couldn't achieve his precision feeding, leading to an inability to satisfy them maximally, thus gradually losing control.

As soon as he stepped onto the platform, he saw dozens of dragons and giant pythons in the water, fighting over the demon beast meat thrown down.

With waves crashing and roars echoing, dragons and giant pythons occasionally got injured due to the intense competition, flesh and blood flying.

"You disappoint me with your behavior," Lu Xuan said softly, releasing a faint spiritual pressure that subdued all dragons and giant pythons of first and second grades.

At the sound of Lu Xuan's voice, nearly half of the dragons and giant pythons lifted their heads. Seeing his familiar figure, they instinctively returned to their original positions in the queue.

The rest that remained unaffected were the new arrivals after Lu Xuan's departure.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan smiled faintly. Fresh demon beast meat flew out of the wooden barrel, categorized and accurately falling into the areas where each dragon and giant python resided.

"You remember Lu's kindness. Lu is deeply moved. But blood must be drawn when it's due," Lu Xuan thought to himself.

"This time, besides visiting these young dragons and acquaintances like Senior Huang, I mainly came to address the health issues of the hundreds of dragons in Thousand Dragon Lake. So, I took the time to give them a comprehensive check-up," he said to Huang Yuan and others.

"It's a blessing for those first and second-grade dragons to be on Senior Brother Lu's mind," Huang Yuan replied gratefully.

Previously, Lu Xuan had conducted a comprehensive physical examination for all the dragons and giant pythons in the outer area of Thousand Dragon Lake, even detecting hazards like the Hidden-Scale Fish, thus preventing significant losses for the outer disciples raising dragons.

They had always been grateful for this. Although they wanted Lu Xuan to help again, they knew they had no qualifications to invite a Foundation Establishment senior brother. Therefore, they could only keep it in their hearts and be more attentive during the dragon-raising process.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan took the initiative to offer a comprehensive check-up for all the dragons.

As a senior inner disciple, he could put aside his status and come to help a group of dragon-raising cultivators without any background or extraordinary cultivation amidst his busy schedule.

He really...

Huang Yuan and others were inexplicably moved, and their admiration for Lu Xuan increased.

"Senior Brother Lu, please wait a moment. I'll contact the fellow disciples in other areas to get them prepared," Huang Yuan said.

"Sure." Lu Xuan nodded casually with his hands behind his back, a relaxed expression on his face.

Looking at the vast and boundless lake ahead, a surge of determination rose in his heart.

"With success at hand, swiftly moves the red thread. In a day, the blood of a thousand dragons shall be drawn."

"My Red Thread Needle is already itching with anticipation."

A red thread swiftly danced around him.
