Chapter 715: Lanxin Fruit Tree and Sacred Zhilan Grass (First Update, seeking votes)

Compared to the Mingluo Kun, these vines did not look thick, but no matter how the Mingluo Kun struggled, they were never able to break free.

Under Kailan's control, these vines whipped out in unison, and the three Mingluo Kun were involuntarily flung away from the surface of the lake, landing on the nearby shore.

The three Mingluo Kun were like giant versions of salted fish, constantly flopping on the ground; each leap carried them over ten meters, and it looked as if they were about to jump back into the lake.

They were destined to fail, however; Aixi flapped her wings with force, creating a tornado that swept the three Mingluo Kun rapidly away from the lake.

There is no need to mention the subsequent process; Li Zhangsheng easily contracted the three Mingluo Kun.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Mingluo Kun (Growth Stage, Top-tier Exotic Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Elite 5th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Medium Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top-tier Spirit

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Kun Fish (Concentrated)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Water + Darkness

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wood, Light

Without a doubt, this juvenile Mingluo Kun possessed powerful potential; however, both Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen had no more contract slots left, so it could at most become a Temporary Spirit Pet.

However, Li Zhangsheng's Datou also possessed the Kun Fish Bloodline, so even if he were to extract Kun Fish Spirit Essence in the future, it would definitely have to be prioritized for Datou; there was truly no spare Kun Fish Spirit Essence to cultivate this Mingluo Kun.

Therefore, this Mingluo Kun was like a chicken rib to them—tasteless to eat, yet a pity to discard.

"We'll see when the time comes!"

Li Zhangsheng still had not made a decision, but he only had two thoughts in mind: either give it to his second uncle, Li Haoqiong, or use it as a bargaining chip for trade.

As for the other two Mingluo Kun, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of killing them; like the Cang Cat Bloodline, the Kun Fish Bloodline was also a quite rare existence, so he decided to raise these two Mingluo Kun.

Unlike the Qingming Changsheng Cat, the Mingluo Kun had a huge appetite, so the cost of raising them naturally far exceeded the former, though to Li Zhangsheng, this was just a bit more troublesome.

Li Zhangsheng continued to search the lake, but apart from a few Superior Quality spirit beasts, there were no further gains.

Without any delay, Li Zhangsheng rode Aixi away from the lake and began searching the grasslands.

In the vast grassland, there was no sign of any Top-tier Spirit, not even a Quasi-God.

Consequently, Li Zhangsheng flew toward a few small mountains; according to the memories of Spirit King Liu Yongtu, that was also where the essence of the entire Secret Realm lay.

Among these three small mountains, the tallest was only about four or five hundred meters, and at the foot of the middle mountain, there was a pitch-black, enormous cave.

This cave was naturally the Dragon Lair, where all the dragons collected by the Langya Liu Clan with the strength of their entire clan were kept.

Even so, the number of dragons still fell far short of the Imperial Family.

Aixi did not enter the Dragon Lair and flew toward the mountain on the left.

Compared to other parts of the Secret Realm, the energy concentration here was significantly richer, as if the energy were locked in this place.

These three small mountains each had important uses.

Among them, at the foot of the left mountain, sat a huge Medicine Garden, likely covering several hundred mu.

Such a large Medicine Garden naturally required a lot of manpower to manage; apart from a few Stewards and Spirit Planters, the rest were all Servants.

These few Stewards were basically disciples of the Langya Liu Clan; they were mainly responsible for supervising the work of the Servants, and every so often, they had to harvest a batch of mature spirit herbs to enhance the family's strength.

From several hundred meters in the air, before they could react, Kailan condensed countless Sleep Powder, and Aixi manipulated the Wind Element energy to turn it into a gale, carrying the Hypnosis Powder to sweep in all directions.

Under the tacit cooperation of the two demon pets, the Sleep Powder almost completely enveloped the entire Medicine Garden.

Except for a few Stewards, the rest of the Servants all fell to the ground, sinking into a deep sleep.

Roar~

These Stewards were at most Third-rank Royal Beast Masters; they subconsciously summoned their demon pets, but Aixi let out a tiger roar, releasing an overwhelming aura.

Some demon pets were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, excreting waste, and directly falling into a Cowering state; a few timid demon pets were even scared to death on the spot.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng's figure suddenly vanished, appearing eerily behind a Steward, and with a single hand-blade strike, he easily knocked him unconscious.

The remaining Stewards wanted to flee, but how could they escape? They were all subdued by Li Zhangsheng, unable to escape the fate of being knocked unconscious.

After dealing with them, Li Zhangsheng activated the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing secret technique, and after confirming there were no omissions, he fed each of these unconscious Stewards a Yellow Spring Pill.

They were at most Third-rank Royal Beast Masters and could not possibly resist the medicinal power of the Yellow Spring Pill, which would cause them to lose their memories of the past few months.

It was not that Li Zhangsheng did not want to kill them to silence them, but if he killed them, the Langya Liu Clan would very likely discover that something was wrong with the Secret Realm, which would be troublesome.

As for those Servants, they had not seen Aixi or Kailan, so there was no need for Yellow Spring Pills; besides, he did not have that many Yellow Spring Pills on hand.

This Medicine Garden was very large and planted with a vast amount of spirit herbs, though most were unranked spirit herbs.

However, the central area was planted with many rare spirit herbs, numbering several hundred in total, which was the essence of the entire Spirit Herb Garden.

Among these hundreds of spirit herbs, all were Heaven and Earth Wonder grade, and there was no shortage of Heavenly Essence Grade spirit herbs, and even a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade fruit tree.

This was a Lanxin Fruit Tree, hanging with crystal-clear, plump fruits; most were not yet ripe, but two had already matured.

Lanxin Fruit can be consumed in combination with Xuanhuang Root, which has a certain probability of allowing a demon pet to enter the Bloodline Metamorphosis stage, though it is only useful for demon pets below the Concentrated Grade.

If it is a demon pet with a Pure-Grade Bloodline, consuming Lanxin Fruit and Xuanhuang Root would likely have about a thirty percent chance of raising the bloodline concentration to the Concentrated Grade.

Because of this, for most families, this Lanxin Fruit Tree is considered a priceless treasure.

Also being a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade spirit plant, the value of the Lanxin Fruit Tree far exceeds the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree that Li Zhangsheng obtained last time from the dragon nest of the Demon King-level green dragon Alexia, not to mention the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree.

The limitations of the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree are too great; it is only suitable for Royal Beast Masters who cultivate the Star-Light Demon Taming Art, and it can be classified as the lowest tier among Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade spirit plants.

Besides the Lanxin Fruit Tree, there was another Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade spirit plant.

This was a milky-white Sacred Zhilan Grass, which possessed the efficacy of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh and bones.

Of course, this is on the condition that there is still a breath left; otherwise, even the Sacred Zhilan Grass cannot save them.

This immature Sacred Zhilan Grass looked listless, giving one the feeling of being unacclimated to the environment; if it continued like this, even if it were cultivated to maturity, its effects would be discounted.

Among the Heavenly Essence Grade spirit plants, Li Zhangsheng discovered three Mysterious Jade Ginsengs, which can eliminate one attribute weakness of a demon pet; most of the others could serve as the main ingredients for refining Top-tier Alchemical Pills, and there were a few types that could be used as main ingredients for three ancient potion formulas.

"Xiaoguai, I will leave the transplanting of these spirit plants to you. Spirit-Eating Rat, you assist Xiaoguai."

Li Zhangsheng released Xiaoguai from the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian, and at the same time, he flicked his Monster Pet Bag to summon the Spirit-Devouring Rat.

Xiaoguai was a natural Spirit Planter with an extremely high talent for cultivating spirit plants; many spirit plants had fragile roots, and having her transplant them could minimize the death of the spirit plants.

With the Spirit-Devouring Rat digging underground, Xiaoguai used the unique power of a Spirit Planter to protect the roots of the spirit herbs, preserving their vitality as much as possible, and transplanted them one by one into the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian.

While Xiaoguai and the Spirit-Devouring Rat were busy, Li Zhangsheng did not slack off either; he directly utilized his vast Mental Power to forcibly pull out the remaining spirit plants, which flew in unison into his Space Ring—it could be called digging three feet deep and plucking every feather from a passing goose.

Although these spirit plants were not of a high grade, they were numerous, which was also a significant resource; how could Li Zhangsheng possibly waste them?

Because the quantity was too large, Li Zhangsheng did not have enough boxes to store the spirit plants, so he could only pile them in the corner of his Space Ring, preparing to process them after returning.

After spending more than half an hour, like a swarm of locusts passing through, this Medicine Garden was picked clean, leaving nothing behind.

Li Zhangsheng did not let the soil in the central area go; this soil was not an ordinary item, and although it was far inferior to Breath Soil, it had already reached the level of Spirit Soil, which was higher grade than most of the soil in the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian, and the key was that the quantity was also large.

Li Zhangsheng dug three feet deep and swapped this Spirit Soil with some of the soil in the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian.

After confirming there were no omissions, Li Zhangsheng clapped his hands and entered the Dragon Lair located in the small mountain in the middle without any lingering attachment.

There were no obstacles along the way, and in the blink of an eye, the view suddenly opened up, and Li Zhangsheng entered a massive cavern.

The belly of this small mountain had been mostly hollowed out, and the ceiling was embedded with a large number of Sun Stones, which were a type of stone that could emit a faint light.

It was not that Spirit King Liu Yongtu was stingy and reluctant to use Night Pearls, but rather that dragons were all greedy; if Night Pearls were embedded, believe it or not, they would be pried off by them the next moment.

It was for this reason that Spirit King Liu Yongtu had to settle for the next best thing and embed these rough-looking Sun Stones.

In the Dragon Lair, according to the habits of different dragon species, various Restrictions were set up; some were hot, some were cold, and they varied greatly.

Besides this, the entire cavern was also wrapped in a powerful Forbidden Array to prevent the dragons from going out on their own to cause destruction.

The area of the Dragon Lair in the Liu Yongtu Secret Realm was not as large as the Dragon Lair in the Core Royal Garden, let alone the Imperial Family Secret Realm, which was related to the number of dragons kept in captivity.

Li Zhangsheng took out the Patriarch Token and pressed it directly against the Array Prohibition; the Array Prohibition fluctuated for a moment, and he stepped into the Dragon Lair together with Aixi and Kailan.

When Li Zhangsheng entered, a group of dragons that had been frolicking or sleeping soundly began to fix their gazes on him.

Seeing this group of dragons, Li Zhangsheng immediately became excited; this was a huge fortune, and even if the number of dragons was not large, they were more important than the previous Medicine Garden.

A typhoon is coming, your author is about to be blown away.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, proof!
