Chapter 156

Not long after inserting eight hidden-wing cicada eggs, Lu Xuan sensed a significant change in the spiritual soil, where the profound insect vine's spiritual seed resided.

It had been in standby mode for a while, but now it burst forth with robust vitality. The part where the spiritual seed and the insect eggs connected seemed to slowly meld, with some of the hidden-wing cicada eggs embedding into the profound insect vine's spiritual seed.

Lu Xuan focused his spiritual consciousness on the eggs at the surface of the spiritual soil.

A thought flashed through his mind.

["Hidden-wing cicada, a first-grade demonic insect, possesses incredibly strong concealment abilities and certain sonic attack capabilities."]

["In a symbiotic relationship with the fourth-grade spiritual plant, the profound insect vine."]

["Feels great to ride on someone else's success!"]

"Using the special spirits secreted by a fourth-grade spiritual plant to nourish a first-grade demonic insect is truly riding high," Lu Xuan remarked as he watched the almost merging profound insect vine's spiritual seed and the hidden-wing cicada eggs.

He then surveyed the spiritual field, meticulously tending to all the spiritual plants within.

Afterward, he rode a free spiritual crane and headed towards the stone house by the Thousand Dragon Lake.

He hadn't stopped his task of nurturing flood dragons. This relatively easy task didn't require much effort now that the dozens of flood dragons he was raising had already fallen into a routine. All he needed to do was patiently wait for their breakthroughs and collect the sword seals.

Despite occasional absences, Huang Yuan, who managed the flood dragons, had no significant objections. He didn't even entertain the thought of deducting Lu Xuan's sword seals.

Against overwhelming strength, minor transgressions hardly mattered.

Every flood dragon Lu Xuan raised was robust and well-trained, leaving a fearsome reputation in the nearby waters. In situations of territorial or resource disputes, these dozens of flood dragons would rally together, overwhelming their opponents.

Faced with such tactics, the surrounding flood dragons had no effective countermeasures. Even those raised by fellow practitioners couldn't unite, let alone those from different lineages.

In just over three months, one of Lu Xuan's flood dragons had risen from second-grade ice chi dragon to third-grade. Additionally, four first-grade flood dragons had progressed to second-grade, a breakthrough rate far above the average.

In the face of such a level of nurturing, Huang Yuan's tolerance expanded limitlessly. When other practitioners came to report excessive behavior among the flood dragons under Lu Xuan, he turned a blind eye.

Lu Xuan arrived at the stone house by the Thousand Dragon Lake and took the specially prepared demonic beast meat before ascending the high platform.

Below, dozens of flood dragons, pythons, and serpents waited quietly in their designated area, lifting their heads slightly, anticipation gleaming in their eyes as they looked at Lu Xuan.

"Good job, it's mealtime soon," Lu Xuan praised them lightly, taking a piece of demonic beast meat and tossing it in front of a specifically chosen flood dragon.

The nearby flood dragons didn't even spare a glance at the sound of the meat hitting the water, a testament to Lu Xuan's successful training during the recent past.

Once all the flood dragons finished their meal, just as Lu Xuan was about to leave, an unusual aura emanated from the most ferocious double-headed flood dragon.

Between its two heads, a lump continued to grow, gradually expanding in size. The two heads of the flood dragon writhed in pain, seemingly enduring excruciating suffering.

"Is this a sign of ascension?" Lu Xuan concentrated his spiritual consciousness on the flood dragon, instantly realizing that this was the necessary path for it to ascend to the third grade.

The lump rapidly expanded, causing the adjacent heads to noticeably shrink.

With a bang, the lump burst out of the flood dragon's scales, revealing a much smaller head that squeezed itself between the two original heads, a bloody sight.

"Success."

Having nurtured them for so long, Lu Xuan genuinely felt joy for the double-headed flood dragon.

He quickly took out a white jade bottle and rotated it around the new head of the triple-headed flood dragon, collecting the fresh blood of the third-grade flood dragon.

"The blood of a third-grade flood dragon will satisfy the flood vines," he remarked, storing the blood in his storage bag.

"Junior Brother Lu, congratulations! Another one of your flood dragons has ascended to the third grade!" Huang Yuan, wearing a beaming smile, rushed over not long after the triple-headed flood dragon's ascension, unaware of Lu Xuan collecting the blood.

Since Lu Xuan had prepared responses, he didn't pay much attention to it and replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Huang. How fortunate to encounter this triple-headed flood dragon breakthrough."

"Haha! I've been closely monitoring this double-headed flood dragon of yours, Junior Brother. I knew it was on the verge of ascending."

"As expected, it smoothly broke through to the third grade," Huang Yuan marveled. "With this ice chi dragon and now this, two of your flood dragons have reached the third grade. This is quite an exceptional achievement. You know, many fellow disciples have flood dragons and serpents that don't progress from the second to third grade until the end of nurturing."

Huang Yuan sighed, looking satisfied at the triple-headed flood dragon still on the water's surface.

The new head on the triple-headed flood dragon seemed timid and lacked the ferocity of the previous heads. It only showed a sense of intimacy when looking at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan gestured towards the triple-headed flood dragon, smiling.

"Go on, cultivate well. When you reach new places, don't engage in fights with other similar beings too often. With your current strength, winning won't be as easy as before."

Finally, anticipating the moment it would grow even more heads, he added, "Looking forward to seeing more of your heads."

"Roar."

The triple-headed flood dragon let out a low growl and swiftly darted towards the depths of the Thousand Dragon Lake.

Once its figure vanished completely from his sight, Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze, feeling content.

"Another fifty sword seals in hand, equivalent to a reward from a decent task. Which spiritual seed should I choose?"

"Junior Brother Lu, I have something to discuss with you."

Interrupting Lu Xuan's thoughts, Huang Yuan spoke up.

"Please go ahead, Senior Brother."

"Well, as you know, there are several third-grade or higher flood dragons in the Thousand Dragon Lake, each raised by different foundational stage seniors."

"Among them, there's a senior whose flood dragon is a third-grade Black-scaled flood dragon. Its bloodline inheritance is exceptional, with the potential to break through to a fifth-grade flood dragon."

"However, recently, that Black-scaled flood dragon has developed an anorexia issue. The problem is worsening; not only is its consumption of demonic beast meat decreasing, but it's also experiencing vomiting, significantly affecting the Black-scaled flood dragon's normal growth."

"I know, Junior Brother Lu, that you have unique abilities when it comes to nurturing flood dragons. Whether it's devising a diet plan for them or training their inherently ferocious nature to be obedient, these are not easy tasks."

"The high number of flood dragons and pythons that have progressed is

proof."

"Therefore, I recommended you to that senior, hoping that you could take a look."

Huang Yuan spoke a bit nervously. Handling a problem with a third-grade flood dragon was not something a foundational stage cultivator could easily meddle in. However, Lu Xuan's remarkable achievements made him envision possibilities.

If Lu Xuan managed to solve the Black-scaled flood dragon's problem successfully, it would be a significant credit to him, and Huang Yuan, as the recommender, would naturally share in that glory.

"I can go take a look, but I can't guarantee absolute success," Lu Xuan replied after a brief pause.

Even though he could monitor the immediate status of demonic beasts through nurturing, he didn't dare assure anything when facing foundational stage cultivators and third-grade flood dragons.

"Alright, Junior Brother Lu, please come with me."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuan exclaimed in delight.
