You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 444: Home-Brewed

Lu Xuan's questioning struck like thunder from a clear sky to the handsome youth, echoing in his ears.

Dare he take it?

He desired it internally, but he dared not take the Beast Control Command within his reach.

Taking the command from Lu Xuan would be akin to questioning Uncle Cangwu of the Core Formation realm, tantamount to slapping a Core Formation True Immortal in the face.

Even with a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare such an action.

He glanced at the Beast Control Command lying quietly on the table, then slowly shifted his gaze to the composed Lu Xuan, his face alternating between shades of green and white.

"Junior Brother Lu, we were impolite. We shouldn't have doubted your abilities. From now on, we will follow your instructions and do our best."

Sun Yun lowered his head, promising Lu Xuan.

"Then I'll trouble Senior Brother Sun and the other junior brothers. If there are any issues with the spiritual beasts, feel free to come to me."

Seeing Sun Yun's attitude, Lu Xuan's tone softened somewhat.

Sun Yun and the others took their leave.

After their presence faded, Lu Xuan collected the Beast Control Command from the table.

The four had originally intended to vent their frustration about not obtaining the command in front of him, but he cleverly shifted the conflict.

You want the token? I'm offering it to you, but do you dare to accept it?

Fearing the reputation of a Core Formation True Immortal, Sun Yun and his group chose to back down.

Lu Xuan wasn't worried they would cause any trouble; after all, the spiritual beasts in the blessed land were under their care, and he was merely an overseer. Should any beast encounter issues, those cultivating them would be the first to be questioned.

Additionally, with Lu Xuan's ability to understand the specific conditions of the spiritual beasts, he wasn't concerned about potential problems.

After this minor storm, Lu Xuan stayed in the cloud house, focusing on his cultivation and occasionally venturing down to the Myriad Beasts Grotto.

The Lion-Bird Beast he had previously encountered remembered Lu Xuan's instructions and gathered the spiritual beasts Lu Xuan had tamed together, reliving the glorious days.

Among the once problematic spiritual beasts, the once rebellious and freedom-loving Four-winged Thunderstorm Tiger now behaved well, eager only to serve the sect and be officially recognized.

The Seven-Colored Pheasant Demon, which preferred to slack off, laid a Seven-Colored Pheasant Egg periodically for survival, spending the rest of its time engrossed in studying illusions.

The Lion-Bird Beast, with its low intelligence and dull comprehension, progressed steadily through diligent effort, constantly improving itself and striving towards its goals.

The other spiritual beasts also showed positive developments.

After a brief gathering with them, Lu Xuan continued exploring the Myriad Beasts Grotto.

He didn't need to handle the specific tasks of caring for the spiritual beasts; he merely provided Sun Yun and the others with guidance, leaving him with ample free time each day.

The vast and diverse terrain of the Myriad Beasts Grotto, devoid of safety concerns, offered Lu Xuan a chance to explore.

Leisurely approaching a tall mountain one day, he prepared to climb and explore when suddenly, a beam of white light shot towards him.

Startled at first, Lu Xuan soon recognized the familiar presence within the light and relaxed, a smile appearing on his lips.

A small and exquisite White Jade Ape stopped in front of him.

It was the White Jade Heavenly Ape that often visited his dwelling to taste the spiritual fruits and nectars.

Now, its eyes shone like crystalline red jade, and the three silver-white hairs on its forehead remained steady even at high speeds, a truly majestic sight.

"So, little Ape, you live around here," Lu Xuan commented with a smile.

The White Jade Ape chirped excitedly, pleased by Lu Xuan's visit.

It conveyed a thought, inviting Lu Xuan to visit its mountain home.

"And the Phoenix Bird? How far from here?"

Lu Xuan followed the White Jade Ape into the towering forest.

From the thoughts transmitted by the young Ape, Lu Xuan learned that the Phoenix Bird lived hundreds of miles away and often came to play with the White Jade Ape.

"Are you the friend of my child from within the sect?"

Just as Lu Xuan was about to summon the Profound White Phoenix, a deep voice echoed in his ear.

"Who?"

Lu Xuan was utterly astonished. His mind, nourished day and night by the fifth-grade treasure Spirit-Nurturing Scroll and enhanced by the Divine Genesis Scripture that bolstered spiritual consciousness, was far ahead of his peers. Yet, he had not sensed the newcomer's presence at all.

As he prepared to search with focused attention, a pure white giant ape stepped out from the forest.

The ape's entire being

was like white jade, its every move filled with natural essence, seemingly in harmony with the entire blessed land.

It exuded an air of gentle sophistication, in stark contrast to its massive and ferocious physique.

"The little White Jade Ape that befriends you is my descendant," the giant ape said slowly.

"Greetings, senior!" Lu Xuan understood the identity of the giant ape before him—the elder of the White Jade Ape with potential as a seventh-grade demon beast, undoubtedly one of the sect's guardian spiritual beasts with the strength of a sixth-grade demon beast.

Suppressing his curiosity, he bowed respectfully.

This was a major support he needed to cling to firmly!

"Are you wondering how I can speak human language?"

The giant ape seemed to see through Lu Xuan's thoughts.

"After breaking through to the fifth grade, demon beasts can refine the bone in their throat, gaining the ability to speak human language," it explained.

"My little Ape is quite gluttonous, often running out with the Phoenix Bird to find food. I've heard it mention enjoying many delicious spiritual fruits and nectars at your place."

"Thank you for your care," it added.

"It's my pleasure. The White Jade Ape and I get along very well, as long as it doesn't mind the simplicity of the spiritual fruits and nectars," Lu Xuan quickly responded, cleverly concealing his motive for embracing the guardian spiritual beast.

"Eh, do I detect the aura of that old deer in you?"

The giant ape suddenly noticed something, its gaze fixed on the area around Lu Xuan's dantian.

A faintly rotating pale green light orb in the dantian began to spin slightly faster.

"Are you referring to the guardian spiritual beast, the Azure Profound Deer?"

"I resolved a small obsession for it before its demise. After its fall, all its life essence condensed into Green Wood Source Qi, a small part of which merged into my body."

"So you're the young cultivator who obtained a portion of the old deer's Green Wood Source Qi."

The giant ape looked at Lu Xuan with a hint of surprise and recognition.

Being able to obtain a portion of the Green Wood Source Qi from the Azure Profound Deer before its death and having such high praise from its descendant indicated Lu Xuan's excellent character.

Thinking this, the ape gestured behind, and a bottle of spirit brew appeared in its hand.

"This is a Monkey Wine I brewed myself. The recipe is unknown to the outside world, and it's not easy to brew. Consuming it can cleanse impurities from the body and enhance a cultivator's spiritual power. You may try it." The giant ape spoke to Lu Xuan with a gentle demeanor.

"Thank you for the wine, senior."

Lu Xuan bowed and thanked the giant ape, taking the offered Monkey Wine.

"Home-brewed, so it's non-alcoholic, right?"

He secretly scoffed to himself.
