You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 448: Both Mother and Child Saved

Quickly, Lu Xuan and his companion reached the location where the mother beast was in labor.

His gaze was instantly drawn to the beast, incessantly wailing in agony.

This spirit beast, known as the Thunderstorm Bear, was covered in golden fur that stood on end like needles, with barely visible flashes of lightning weaving in and out, flickering intermittently.

Its eyes, a mix of white and gold, seemed to contain lightning strikes, exuding a formidable presence.

It was evident that its current condition was dire; the unborn cub was wreaking havoc within, causing the mother endless torment.

"Brother Lu."

The young cultivator hurriedly approached upon seeing Lu Xuan and his company.

Initially skeptical of Lu Xuan, who had unexpectedly taken charge of the blessed land, he had harbored reservations and even voiced his doubts.

Now, seeing Lu Xuan, he felt an unprecedented sense of reassurance, as if he had found his anchor.

"Alright."

"Let me first examine the condition of this Thunderstorm Bear."

Lu Xuan nodded and approached the mother beast.

A misty spiritual light appeared in his eyes, and through the Illusion Breaking Eye Technique, he could vaguely sense the excessively active unborn cub in the mother's abdomen, attracting dense blood essence.

Invisible tendrils extended from the placenta into the mother's body, seemingly siphoning her essence.

He sent a soothing thought to the mother bear and released a strand of pale green spiritual energy from his fingertips.

As the pale green spiritual energy neared, the mother bear, sensing the rich vitality within and the aura emanating from the Beast Control Command at Lu Xuan's waist, showed no resistance.

The Green Wood Source Qi, derived from the essence of the Azure Profound Deer, contained rich life force and had potent healing capabilities, beneficial for the currently distressed mother bear.

After administering a strand of Green Wood Source Qi to the mother, Lu Xuan's consciousness quickly grasped the detailed condition of the beast.

【Thunderstorm Bear, a fourth-rank spirit beast, naturally mighty, able to wield the power of lightning upon maturity, ranking among the top in its tier.】

【In labor.】

【Due to frequent visits near the forbidden areas of the Myriad Beasts Grotto during pregnancy, the embryo within was influenced by the unique spiritual energy there, gradually developing a bloodthirsty instinct. It siphoned the mother's essence throughout the gestation, weakening her vitality and enlarging the cub, complicating the birthing process.】

【I will give birth to you, even at the cost of my own life.】

"......"

Lu Xuan remained silent, deeply moved.

The cub in the womb was affected by its environment, leading to an anomaly and continuously draining the mother's essence during development.

Yet, the mother remained determined to give birth, despite being depleted and at risk of death.

"Don't worry, your child will definitely be born safely, and you will be unharmed as well."

Lu Xuan conveyed his thought to the mother beast.

"Roar......"

The mother beast let out a low growl, its dull eyes showing a glimmer of hope.

"Brother Lu, is there a way to resolve this?"

The young cultivator, seeing Lu Xuan deep in thought, eagerly inquired.

"No problem."

Lu Xuan's lips curved upwards.

"Then... in case of a cesarean section, who should be prioritized, the mother or the child?"

The young man hesitantly asked, aware that cesarean was the only option left, fraught with significant risks, necessitating a prior decision.

"That option doesn't exist for me; I will save both."

Lu Xuan spoke calmly.

He quickly devised a solution.

Given the cub's large size, preventing natural birth, along with the need to deal with the invisible tendrils siphoning blood from the mother, cesarean section was the inevitable choice.

He faced two challenges.

First, the mother bear was weakened from significant blood loss, making the procedure and the removal of the tendrils from the mother's body risky, potentially endangering her life.

Moreover, the most challenging part was severing the tendrils that sprouted from the placenta.

These tendrils, invisible and undetectable to the naked eye, required precise removal from the mother's body in a short time frame, a daunting task.

Yet, Lu Xuan was supremely confident.

His Illusion Breaking Eye Technique, enhanced by consuming the eerie eyes from the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood, had reached an advanced level, making the invisible tendrils visible to him.

Additionally, he could provide ample Green Wood Source Qi to rescue the mother or cub from any emergency.

With his profound mastery of the sword, the emerald sword obtained from the Boundless Sea Secret Realm could ensure the vitality of both mother and child during the cesarean section.

With these factors combined, he was utterly confident

in the successful extraction of the cub.

Ignoring the astonishment of Sun Yun and the junior at his declaration to save both, Lu Xuan drew the ancient sword sheath, shaking it slightly to release the nurturing emerald sword.

He ignored the trembling sheath, evenly distributing spiritual energy along the sword's blade.

The origin of the emerald sword, exceedingly sharp, easily sliced open the mother bear's abdomen.

A sword qi, brimming with vibrant life force, swiftly traversed the mother's insides, severing all tendrils tightly connected to her body in an instant.

Lu Xuan's eyes fixated on the task, and as soon as all tendrils were cut, he swiftly moved the cub out using spiritual energy.

"It's born! It's born!"

The young cultivator exclaimed, and Sun Yun, too, heaved a sigh of relief, revealing a relieved expression.

Lu Xuan remained composed, the pale green glow within his dantian rapidly spinning, infusing continuous Green Wood Source Qi into the mother bear's abdomen, healing the cuts and the abdominal incision.

Under the potent healing power of the Green Wood Source Qi, the mother bear, previously frail and in agony, soon calmed down.

Struggling to prop up her upper body, she wished to see her newborn.

"Here, take a look at your fine son."

Lu Xuan presented the cub before the mother.

The cub, the size of a bathtub, was enveloped in a golden light with faint blood threads interwoven within, its innocent eyes attempting to open, sensing its mother's presence, the pale golden pupils displaying dependence.

Unaware of how much of the mother's essence it had consumed during its development.

Upon seeing her child, the Thunderstorm Bear's mouth silently curved into a smile, her majestic eyes filled with tenderness.

She let the cub draw milk, exhausted, drifting into sleep.

"Brother Lu truly kept his word; both the mother and child spirit beasts are saved!"

Sensing that the mother bear was merely asleep and not in danger, and the cub was healthy, the young cultivator expressed his exhilaration.

"I never imagined Brother Lu would be so adept at delivering cubs. Uncle Cangwu didn't misjudge in entrusting the blessed land to you,"

Sun Yun, with a complex gaze, willingly expressed his admiration.
