You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 442: Imperial Elixir and Tamed Beasts

"Alright, Junior Brother Lu, your forthrightness is appreciated. I'll take you into the blessed land now."

Huo Lin'er, with a satisfied expression on his face, spread his fiery red robe, enveloping Lu Xuan within it. A dozen breaths later, the two arrived at the Formation Hall.

Huo Lin'er approached the teleportation formation and activated the array.

Amidst the chaotic void, Lu Xuan felt solid ground beneath his feet.

Opening his eyes, he found himself in a world of clouds.

He was standing on a cloud radiating with flowing light.

Countless clouds of various sizes congregated together, giving a peculiar sense of solidity underfoot. The clouds occasionally sparkled with spiritual light, revealing numerous formations and restrictions upon closer inspection.

In the distance, several cloud-formed structures stood out.

Huo Lin'er led the curious Lu Xuan to the largest of these structures.

"Uncle Cangwu, I have brought Junior Brother Lu here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bare-chested cultivator emerged from the cloud house.

The cultivator's vitality was robust, his upper body sculpted like cast iron, exuding a beauty of strength in every movement.

"Uncle, this is Junior Brother Lu Xuan I mentioned to you, skilled in cultivating spiritual plants and taming spiritual beasts. Few in the sect can surpass him in beast taming."

"Junior Brother Lu, this is Uncle Cangwu."

"Uncle, greetings."

Lu Xuan bowed respectfully.

"There's no need for such formalities, Junior Nephew."

"I've heard about your efforts in resolving the dying fixation of the sect's Azure Profound Deer and your contributions to the development of a new blessed land, though this is my first time meeting you, Junior Nephew."

"I will be away for a short period, perhaps two to three years, or it might extend to seven or eight years. I entrust this sect's blessed land to you."

"Thank you for your trust, Uncle. I will do my utmost to manage the blessed land diligently."

Lu Xuan promised solemnly to the bare-chested cultivator.

"Good."

Cangwu nodded, producing a peculiar token.

The token featured a grotesque beast's head protruding from the center, its fierce appearance lifelike and changing subtly as if alive upon closer inspection.

"This blessed land is known as the Myriad Beasts Grotto. Its environment is conducive to the growth of demon beasts, housing numerous guardian spiritual beasts, some of which possess the strength of Core Formation."

"This token is the Beast Control Command. It contains a sliver of the spiritual souls and blood essence of the blessed land's spiritual beasts, allowing you to command the guardian spiritual beasts."

"After extensive taming, these guardian spiritual beasts generally do not attack sect cultivators. However, their demonic nature remains untamed. Should an emergency arise, you may use this Beast Control Command to manage them."

"However, employing the Beast Control Command can harm the spiritual beasts' souls and vitality. Hence, Junior Nephew, use it sparingly and only in dire circumstances."

Lu Xuan nodded, committing this to heart.

He received the beast-head token, sending his spiritual consciousness into it. Within the token, myriad phantom images of demon beasts surged towards him, dissipating as they reached the token's edge. It contained thousands of blood essence stars, circulating in a specific pattern.

"There are a few Foundation Establishment fellow disciples residing in the cloud houses, primarily responsible for the detailed care of the spiritual beasts' daily needs. They return to the cloud houses for cultivation and rest during their free time. You only need to oversee the overall management."

"In the Myriad Beasts Grotto, there's a forbidden area surrounded by powerful restrictions. Even several Core Formation True Immortals might struggle to breach it in a short time. Junior Nephew, do not attempt to enter recklessly."

"Periodically, a peculiar substance known as Imperial Elixir descends from the sky above the blessed land. When demon beasts absorb and refine it, it greatly enhances their physical bodies."

"The Imperial Elixir is also beneficial to cultivators, especially those who practice body refining. Junior Brother, you might collect some when the time comes."

"When the Imperial Elixir descends, the guardian spiritual beasts might engage in conflicts. Please, Junior Nephew, be extra vigilant then."

"I will take great care."

Lu Xuan promptly responded.

"It's all yours then."

Cangwu spoke indifferently, handing Lu Xuan a teleportation talisman before disappearing with Huo Lin'er from the cloud.

Lu Xuan securely kept the Beast Control Command, stepped out of the cloud house, and strolled on the cloud's surface.

He saw no trace of fellow disciples in the other cloud houses; they must have descended into the Myriad Beasts Grotto below to care for the spiritual beasts.

His eyes gleamed

with a faint spiritual light, piercing through the dense clouds, his gaze falling upon the Myriad Beasts Grotto below.

The landscape of the blessed land was complex, featuring a variety of terrains: forests, marshes, lakes, deserts...

Gigantic spiritual beasts appeared, some soaring freely below the clouds, others flickering in and out of the forests, or frolicking in the lakes.

All the spiritual beasts coexisted peacefully and orderly.

"Let's go down and have a look."

Holding the Beast Control Command, Lu Xuan's feet adorned with Azure Stride Shoes glowed, descending steadily.

Upon landing, a gigantic elephant, standing five to six zhang tall, sensed Lu Xuan's unfamiliar presence from afar. It approached him with its massive footsteps, undisturbed.

The ground trembled with its approach, showcasing the elephant's immense strength.

Arriving before Lu Xuan, the azure-black elephant curiously looked at him, snorted, and a puff of white breath shot past him like an arrow.

"Nice to meet you. Please take good care of me."

Lu Xuan remained composed, bowing with his fists clasped, the Beast Control Command gently swaying in his hand.

"Mo!"

At the sight of the Beast Control Command, the azure-black elephant let out a low roar, crouched down, and its mountainous body leaned towards Lu Xuan, seemingly seeking affection.

Witnessing the colossal body of the elephant, reminiscent of crumbling mountains, Lu Xuan hastily leaped away, paying no mind to the elephant that had flopped onto the ground, crushing several spirit trees. He randomly picked a direction, his figure gliding like a fleeting light.

During his wanderings in the blessed land, Lu Xuan encountered numerous spiritual beasts, mostly of the third and fourth grades, along with many young beasts with the strength of Qi cultivation practitioners.

These spiritual beasts, upon seeing the unfamiliar him, displayed warmth, indifference, or playfulness, but none showed aggression. Especially upon noticing the Beast Control Command in Lu Xuan's hand, they behaved obediently, with many large and rugged spiritual beasts even attempting to act coquettishly towards him.

"Hmm, it seems like I've spotted an old acquaintance, no, an old beast."

Lu Xuan halted, looking towards a lion-headed, eagle-bodied spiritual beast standing nearby with a dull expression.

"Isn't this the Lion-Bird Beast from the beast taming days? It's grown so much in a short time."

Lu Xuan's eyes brightened as he approached the Lion-Bird Beast.

Back when he helped the sect tame demon beasts, he encountered several problematic spiritual beasts, including this Lion-Bird Beast. Due to its mixed heritage, it possessed immense strength and resilience but was slow to understand Lu Xuan's commands.

Lu Xuan tutored it in secret, continuously encouraging it until it barely kept up with the other young beasts, achieving initial taming success.

The Lion-Bird Beast, upon seeing Lu Xuan, was momentarily confused, finding the figure before it strangely familiar yet unable to recall immediately.

"Ang~"

As Lu Xuan drew closer, the simple-minded Lion-Bird Beast finally remembered, issuing a deafening roar and instantly flying to Lu Xuan's side.
