Chapter 444: Chapter 442 – I Dare To Give, Do You Dare To Take It? _1

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Lu Xuan’s palm instantly turned into a jade-like color, blocking the lion-bird beast that was pouncing like a predatory bird.

The fluffy lion head of the lion bird beast leaned into Lu Xuan’s palm, allowing him to stroke it, making a pleased gruntning sound from its mouth.

“You fellow, you’ve performed very well. I haven’t seen you for a while, and you’ve grown quite a bit bigger and a lot stronger.”

Lu Xuan casually rubbed the head of the lion bird beast, his tone showing a hint of admiration.

Upon hearing these words, the lion bird beast became even more docile, creating a strong contrast with its fierce and huge body shape.

Lu Xuan had a very special significance for it.

Because of its mixed bloodline, it has a low spiritual intelligence and has always been the target of bullying by other spirit beasts, which made it very self-conscious from an early age.

At the young beast stage, the superiority of the two powerful demon beast bloodlines had not yet been revealed, but the defects in spiritual intelligence and comprehension were clearly revealed.

During Lu Xuan’s domestication of a group of young beasts, it showed extreme lack of confidence.

Lu Xuan treated it appropriately, continuously encouraging it, correcting the pessimistic thoughts in its heart, helping it regain confidence, as well as sneaking into the beast pen at night to give it extra lessons when it was far behind the others.

For the lion bird beast, Lu Xuan was like a beam of light in the darkness, making its life shine brightly again.

“Roar~”

The lion bird beast growled as if complaining about how Lu Xuan hadn’t come to see it until now.

“Isn’t it because I didn’t have the chance to enter the Blessed Land?”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

“By the way, now that your strength has become so great, why haven’t you gone out to guard the Sect’s forbidden place or to serve as transport spirit beasts?”

He asked out of curiosity.

The lion bird beast growled in response, transmitting a thought to Lu Xuan.

“So it’s because you haven’t reached that level yet.”

As for the lion bird beast he had raised, Lu Xuan felt like they were connected at a deep level. He instantly understood what was in the beast’s mind.

“You’ve done really well, and I believe you’ll be able to contribute to the Sect soon.”

“Keep up the good work.”

Lu Xuan said encouragingly with a smile.

The lion bird beast seemed to gain infinite strength from this, nodding vigorously.

“By the way, I’ve been in the Blessed Land recently, taking care of the spirit beasts. If you can find the young beasts from that time, bring them around. We can have a reunion when there’s a chance.”

He proposed an idea to the lion bird beast.

After a brief reunion with the beast, Lu Xuan said goodbye and ascended vertically to return to the cloud house in the sky.

“Oh, the fellow disciples who take care of the spirit beasts are back.”

He sensed that there were four presences, one big and three small, in a few of the cloud houses.

“So you are Junior Brother Lu Xuan, right? I’ve heard a lot about you, and I’ve finally waited for you to come to the Ten Thousand Beast Cave Blessed Land and take charge of the spirit beasts.”

A handsome young man slowly walked out from the cloud house, followed by three people.

The young man was at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivation base, and the other three were at Foundation Establishment First-term Stage.

“Yes, it’s me, Lu. May I ask how should I address you?”

Lu Xuan noticed something was off in the handsome young man’s tone, so he asked indifferently.

“My name is Sun Yun. I have been staying in the Blessed Land for many years. This is Zhao, my junior brother, and…”

The young man replied and briefly introduced the three Foundation Establishment First-term Disciples behind him.

“Nice to meet you, Brother Lu.” The three of them looked at Lu Xuan and greeted him in unison.

“Nice to meet you all.” Lu Xuan replied in return.

He and Sun Yun, along with the other three, entered one of the cloud houses.

“Junior Brother Lu, when I returned to the sect, I heard more than once about your feats in dealing with Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts. Seeing you today, it is indeed as said.”

The handsome youth, Sun Yun, sat down and said to Lu Xuan with a smile.

“Just a bit of undeserved reputation, not worth mentioning.”

“Junior Brother Lu has just arrived, I don’t know if you have adapted to the environment of the Ten Thousand Beast Cave?”

Sun Yun continued to ask.

“The feeling is quite good. I myself like interacting with spirit beasts and feel quite at home when I see them.”

Lu Xuan, thinking of the dim-witted Lion Bird Beast, had a slight smile on his lips.

“I wonder how Junior Brother Lu gained the qualification in managing the Blessed Land? Could you enlighten me?”

After a few exchanges, Zhao, a cultivator, suddenly asked, his tone somewhat oppressive.

“Brother Fire Scale Child introduced me, Elder Uncle Cang Wu saw me and had no objections, then he gave me the Beast Owning Order to keep.”

Lu Xuan’s legitimate entry, solely reliant on his own ability, henceforth he revealed the way he entered the blessed land without any concealment.

“So it was because of the connection with a true disciple that made it possible for you to manage the Blessed Land on your first visit to the Ten Thousand Beast Cave.”

Zhao the cultivator said resentfully.

“Zhao, there’s something you must understand.”

“It wasn’t me who sought out Brother Fire Scale Child, it was Brother Fire Scale Child who actively sought me out.”

“And as for why Senior Brother of Authentic Teachings sought me and not you, Zhao, you should reflect on yourself. Has your cultivation made any progress over the years? Have you taken care of the spirit beasts properly?”

Even a meek person has a temper, Lu Xuan said coldly.

“Zhao, shut up! Elder Uncle Cang Wu gave Junior Brother Lu the Beast Owning Order for his own reasons. All we need to do is accept it.”

Seeing that Zhao seemed to want to refute Lu Xuan, Sun Yun spoke up to stop him from the side.

Lu Xuan sat by, laughing yet fully aware of their words and actions.

His securing the good fortune of managing the blessed land seems to have provoked strong dissatisfaction amongst this small four-man group.

No wonder, having worked hard for years with a long awaited opportunity of promotion in sights, but to have it snatched away halfway through by someone else and then having to follow the turfer’s arrangements.

How could this be easily comprehended?

If he was a bystander, he might understand the group’s reaction. But as a participant, when his own interests come into play, he is not so understanding.

The resentful Zhao, chastised by Sun Yun, sat down unwillingly.

“Even though I remain unconvinced, discussing cultivation, Brother Sun has advanced to the Middle Stage Cultivation for many years now, discussing experience, Brother has managed countless spirit beasts, discussing seniority, you have painstakingly served many years in the blessed land, how are you not qualified to temporarily manage the blessed land on behalf of Elder Uncle?”

He said with strong resentment in his tone.

Lu Xuan scoffed inwardly.

“Of what use is it telling me this, why not ask Golden Pellet Elder Uncle directly?”

Though he thought this, he didn’t say it outright.

With a sudden thud.

A beast head badge was violently slammed onto the Spirit Wood Table.

Following the sound, the four people looked towards the badge, its fierce beast head intently staring at them, appearing ready to choose someone to devour.

Swallowing quietly, Sun Yun found the Beast Owning Order, which he had always yearned for, somewhat terrifying at this moment.

“Junior Brother Lu, what is the meaning of this?”

Lu Xuan’s expression didn’t change as he slowly spoke.

“Brother Zhao’s words make a lot of sense, and I also admit that I’m not qualified to have this Beast Owning Order.”

“In terms of cultivation base, experience, seniority, each aspect of Brother is stronger than me. Compared to me, Brother is more qualified to manage the blessed land on behalf of Elder Uncle Cang Wu and supervise all the spirit beasts of the blessed land.”

“Now, the Beast Owning Order is on the table. I dare to give it to Brother, do you dare to take it?”

With a faint smile, Lu Xuan looked at the handsome youth, his eyes indifferent and his tone gentle.
