Chapter 117: Chapter 115: Customizing The Menu 1

Beneath the high platform.
Dozens of flood dragons, giant pythons, and strange serpents are arrayed in an orderly manner on the lake surface.
Mostly submerged, only the upper part of their bodies are visible, eagerly looking up at the three giant wooden barrels in front of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan glanced at the demon beast’s flesh and blood in the barrels, deftly picking up piece after piece, throwing them near the designated flood dragon demon beasts.
Although the other flood dragons around wanted to grab the demon beast meat instinctively, after being tamed by Lu Xuan, they could control their natural desires and stay obediently within their assigned areas.
These flood dragons well understand that only if they stay put in their designated area will they be able to eat enough delicious demon beast meat, but if they try to grab for more, not only would they go hungry, but they would also probably be mercilessly hung in mid-air by Lu Xuan.
The demon beast’s flesh and blood in the barrels gradually decreased, Lu Xuan gazed at the three empty barrels, lost in thoughts.
Although he was able to feed the flood dragons delicious or highly nutritional demon beast meat based on their immediate conditions post taming.
The massive amount of demon beast meat in the barrels can’t be stored according to his will, which means that either too much or too little demon beast meat suitable for feeding flood dragons is available, thus not satisfying each flood dragon or python, resulting in having to feed them with common demon beast meat.
He resolved to find Huang Yuan, who was in charge of the Thousand Dragon Lake area, to specially customize a menu for the flood dragons, pythons, etc, he bred.
Inside a spacious stone house.
As Huang Yuan, a cultivator who had completed perfect Qi training, was conversing with two high-grade Qi practitioners, he cheerfully greeted Lu Xuan, who walked in.
Junior Brother Lu, it’s been a while. How is the raising of the flood dragons going? Did these beasts bring you any trouble?”
It is going smoothly, and those flood dragon demon beasts are quite obedient too.”
“I have come to seek Brother Huang’s help for something.”
“Junior Brother Lu, please proceed.”
Huang Yuan looked serious, and invited him to speak.
“Brother Huang, I recently noticed some irregularities about the demon beast meat put into the barrels during my feeding of the flood dragons, so I wanted to customize a meal plan for those demon beasts. The meat of the demon beasts could then be provided according to this plan.”
“Pfft!”
As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, a tall and skinny cultivator in the room couldn’t help but chuckle.
“This Junior Brother, those flood dragons are merely vermin. Just toss in the demon beast meat and they will all scramble for it. What’s the point in preparing a meal plan for them?”
The tall, skinny cultivator said this to Lu Xuan with a grin.
Huang Yuan shot him a stern look and then turned back to Lu Xuan, saying in a deep voice,
“Junior Brother Lu, while this brother’s words might have been a bit disrespectful, his point still stands.”
“When you feed those flood dragons, you just need to throw in the demon beast meat and let them scramble for it, preparing a specific meal plan will not only trouble our fellow cultivators who process demon beast meat, but it also seems unnecessary because it won’t make much of a difference. So, indeed, it’s not really needed.”
“Ah?”
A look of surprise spread across Lu Xuan’s face.
“The flood dragon demon beasts under each of your hands would scramble for demon beast meat? Mine have quite good manners, they all line up and let me feed them.”
Lu Xuan replied with a hidden implication.
“Junior Brother Lu, you can’t be joking, right? Those flood dragons and pythons possess low spiritual intelligence and each one is ferocious and combative. How could they calmly listen to your arrangements?”
A look of surprise emerged on the faces of Huang Yuan and the others.
“Whether it is or isn’t so, Brother Huang, you can come and see for yourself when I feed them next time.”
“Alright, I will definitely come to have a look.”
“Although I’m not sure what method Junior Brother Lu is using, if it’s really as you said, then I will talk to the brothers who are handling the Demon Beast Materials and let them supply the Demon Beast Meat according to the recipe you provided.”
Curious about what Lu Xuan had said, Huang Yuan wanted to see if there was any special significance behind it, and he nodded in agreement to Lu Xuan.
Soon, half a day passed, and it was time to feed the Flood Dragons.
Lu Xuan brought three large wooden barrels up to the high platform, where beneath his feet, dozens of Jiaolong Pythons were lined up neatly in the lake, waiting eagerly.
“Junior Brother Lu really astounded me!”
Huang Yuan was fascinated as he looked at the many obedient Flood Dragon beasts below, exclaiming in surprise.
”1 wonder what’s the deep meaning behind Junior Brother Lu’s actions. Could you please explain to me?”
“There’s no special significance, it’s just that I noticed that during the previous feedings, each Jiaolong Python fought desperately to get food. Not only might they not get enough to eat, but it might also lead to them getting injured, affecting their growth.”
So, I devised a little trick to train them, ensuring they all get sufficient portions of Demon Beast Meat.”
“At the same time, I’m conducting an experiment to see if adjusting the diet of
the Flood Dragons can promote their growth and evolution.”
Lu Xuan said indifferently.
Everything he said was true. He just did not reveal that he had already understood the feeding habits of these Flood Dragons in his care.
“Adjusting the diet of the Flood Dragons? Sounds quite interesting.”
Huang Yuan fell into deep thought.
Lu Xuan kept silent with a smile, as he knew well the significance of a balanced diet for growth. In his previous life, the younger generation grew tall like bamboo when they had an abundant supply of meat, eggs and milk.
Similarly, if they could provide enough, tasty, and suitable Demon Beast Meat for the many Flood Dragons, their growth rate could also be accelerated.
He was not concerned that the contents of his recipe would be leaked out.
After understanding the conditions of each Flood Dragon, Lu Xuan tailored a diet for them.
Oranges grown in the south become oranges, and those grown in the north would become citrus fruit. The same diet would not necessarily yield great results for other Flood Dragons.
After witnessing the miraculous behavior of the Flood Dragons raised by Lu Xuan, Huang Yuan immediately introduced him to several fellow disciples responsible for processing Demon Beast meat, with specific instructions to meet Lu Xuan’s requirements for the type and quantity of meat.
Having settled the diet issue, Lu Xuan returned to his cave dwelling with satisfaction.
Upon opening the yard door, the familiar shadow flickered as always.
The Cloud Leopard lay languidly in the yard. Its green eyes lazily watched Lu
Xuan as it let out a faint roar.
“Roar-”
“I’m back.”
Staying m the Sky Sword Sect for such a long time, the Cloud Leopard had grown into a majestic creature under the nourishment of rich and pure Spiritual Energy. Its black fur was even more glossy, and its white fluffy paws as pure as snow landed silently on the ground.
Due to Lu Xuan often being away, leaving the Cloud Leopard alone in the yard, it could often sense a sense of desolation in its heart. Therefore, it always waited for Lu Xuan at the door.
Lu Xuan got some dried Demon Beast Meat from inside, tore it into thin strips, and placed it in front of the Cloud Leopard.
The Leopard’s green eyes remained as cold as usual, but its heart was filled with joy. Narrowing its green eyes, it slowly picked up the meat strips and stuffed them into its mouth.
Lu Xuan went to the Spirit Field and saw the Grass Puppets tirelessly patrolling between the furrows of the Spirit Field, the Spirit Plants all over the field were growing nicely..
