I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 431: Chapter 429: Green-feathered Falcon_1

“Even though you’re a bit chubby, in terms of strength, you are in the forefront amongst your kind,”

Lu Xuan adjusted his mood and comforted the Fat Bird in a soothing voice.

“Furthermore, the reason you’ve grown to this size is largely because you eat so well. Unlike other Wind Falcons, you have the luxury to gain weight!”

He gently patted the soft belly of the Wind Falcon, which brought forth layers of pale green waves on its belly.

“Really?”

The Fat Bird cocked its head, a hint of doubt appearing in its tiny eyes.

“Absolutely! Would I deceive you?”

“For instance, fine-quality Spirit Fruits like Flaming Fruit, Ice Luo Fruit, Jade Scale Fruit, Enchanted Immortal Peach, and my handmade rare Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice.”

“Not to forget the crispy and tender roasted Demon Beast Meat, the spicy and delectable stir-fried Demon Beast Meat, and the melt-in-mouth, fatty yet non-greasy steamed Demon Beast Meat…”

Lu Xuan listed slowly, using his fingers to count.

The more he mentioned, the more dazed the Wind Falcon became. As it recalled the various cooking methods of the Demon Beast Meat, its rotund belly contracted continuously, and it involuntarily drooled a bit.

“Come on, I’ll go cook your favorite Roasted Demon Beast Meat for you right away.”

Seeing that the Fat Bird’s attention had shifted, Lu Xuan quickly said.

Less than half a Time system later, the Wind Falcon, along with the Spirit Beasts in the cave dwelling, indulged in the food.

“I should seize the opportunity to follow the Wind Falcon and see what it is that’s giving rise to such unusual thoughts in it.”

Lu Xuan lowered his head to observe the Spirit Beasts and secretly contemplated.

The following day, while he patrolled the Spirit Field and cultivated the Spirit Plant, his Spiritual Sense closely followed the Wind Falcon’s actions. As soon as he noticed the Wind Falcon leaving the cave, the Qing Helved Shoes under his feet shone with a Spiritual light. Using the Floating Light Body Method, he closely trailed behind the Fat Bird.

The Fat Bird failed to detect Lu Xuan’s presence behind it. It trailed through the peaks, occasionally resounding with clear cries – evidence of its heart filled with anticipation, which Lu Xuan was able to perceive from behind.

A moment later, the Fat Bird halted in a valley. It paced nervously on the spot.

After a few breaths, the Fat Bird finally made up its mind and entered the valley.

Lu Xuan concealed his aura and closely trailed behind.

“So it’s that yellow-feathered…no, blue-feathered one.”

From a large Spirit Tree, he looked into the distance, silently making his remark.

There were a few Gale Falcon Demon Beasts in the valley. One of them, particularly outstanding and fierce, had feathers that hung down like slender pieces of jade. Its Spiritual light shimmered, making it stunningly beautiful.

Its aura matched that of the Fat Bird, marking it as a Third Grade Demon Beast.

“Most Wind Falcons are Tier-2 Demonic Beasts, if they possess the strength of a Third-rank Demonic Beast, they must have either received a significant amount of resources for cultivation, just like I did, or they possess a remarkable bloodline.”

“However, this Wind Falcon is so thin, as if malnourished. It doesn’t compare to my Fat Bird, who is chubby and well-rounded.”

As Lu Xuan secretly observed from a bush, he also kept an eye on the movements of the Wind Falcons.

“Fellow Daoist, why are you lurking around, peeping at my spirit beasts?”

Suddenly, a sound as faint as a mosquito’s hum reached his ears.

Lu Xuan descended from the Spirit Tree and saw a stout young man appearing not far from him, looking at him warily.

The young man was in the Middle Stage of Cultivation and was somewhat unfamiliar.

“Greetings, brother. I am Lu Xuan. I came here because my Wind Falcon Spirit Beast sneaked out, so I followed it to see what was happening.”

Lu Xuan greeted with a cupped fist.

“So it’s brother Lu! I’ve long heard of you. Meeting you today, you’re even more admirable than I imagined.”

Lu Xuan rarely went out, spending most of his time in his cave dwelling, but his accomplishments in the area of cultivating Spiritual Plants had already spread throughout the entire Sky Sword Sect. The young man, who was initially on guard, immediately relaxed his expression.

Together with the fact that this was in the Inner Sect of the Sect, where numerous Disciples resided and all around were prohibitions, there was naturally no need for concern about safety.

“Just call me Guo Ping, Brother Lu, and you can refer to me as your junior fellow student.”

“So, the rather plump falcon in the valley is yours, Brother Lu? It’s been playing with my spirit beasts over the past few days. I was wondering which brother in the sect owned a third-grade spirit beast! It’s no surprise if it’s Brother Lu’s.”

The honest-looking youth said with a smile, showing a slight interest in Lu Xuan.

“I was lucky. I kept nurturing it, and it unexpectedly made a breakthrough on its own.”

Lu Xuan said modestly.

“On the contrary, Guo junior fellow student, your third-grade Wind Falcon looks extraordinary.”

“I have rich experience in raising Wind Falcons. After several attempts of breeding Wind Falcon demon beasts with exceptional bloodlines, and a few other tricks, I unexpectedly ended up with this third-grade, different species of Wind Falcon.”

When it came to the Wind Falcon in the valley, pride appeared on the face of the young man.

“I see. Guo junior fellow student, you are so capable when it comes to raising spirit beasts. I must learn from you when I have a chance.”

“Brother Lu, you flatter me. Compared to your achievements in cultivating spiritual plants, what I have done is nothing.”

Guo Ping said sincerely.

Although Lu Xuan seldom left the sect to explore secret lands, he didn’t network much with others. Still, his exploits in the field of spiritual plants became well-known among the majority of the disciples of the Inner Sect.

“Guo junior fellow student, I noticed that my Wind Falcon seems to have some unusual feelings towards your different species of Wind falcon. What do you think?”

Lu Xuan changed the topic and asked the honest-looking young man.

“Can Brother Lu introduce his spirit beast to me a bit?”

Their conversation was like an introduction exchange between parents during a blind date.

“My Wind Falcon may be a bit plump, but it’s still strong, and its rank is on par with your third-grade, different species of Wind Falcon.”

Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.

“It’s pretty good itself, but the look is so-so.”

The young man translated Lu Xuan’s words in his mind.

“Its blood lineage was originally second-grade, but it unexpectedly advanced to third-grade.”

“Limited potential.”

The youth continued to translate in his heart.

“It has also hatched two spirit beasts before.”

Lu Xuan briefly shared the Wind Falcon’s experience of hatching a Fire Separation Flood Dragon and a Rock-shell Turtle.

“It means got pregnant before getting married…”

The honest-looking youth sighed in his heart and tagged a few labels to the Fat Bird.

“Brother Lu, I personally have no objection to their relationship, but it mainly depends on the spirit beasts’ own will.”

“If they are willing to try to get along, it’s excellent, but if they lack feelings for each other, we can’t force this issue. What do you think, Brother Lu?”

He tactfully indicated refusal.

“Guo junior fellow student, that makes sense.”

Hearing the underlying rejection in his words, Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.

“Let’s leave it to fate.”

He left a simple sentence, bid farewell to the honest-looking youth with a smile and left.

When he returned to his cave dwelling, the Wind Falcon flew back to the peak after a long time, still looking despondent.

“You’re back? How was it this time? Did you get hurt in any way?”

Lu Xuan asked with concern.
