Chapter 448: Chapter 446: Spirit Beast Difficult Birth_1

Taking advantage of the ceaseless chatter of the Old Dragon Turtle sharing the numerous anecdotes about the elders and mentors of the Sky Sword Sect, Lu Xuan quietly focused his mind on its body.

Thanks to feeding the Old Dragon Turtle with the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice, a detailed profile of the Dragon Turtle suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Dragon Turtle, Tier 6 Spirit Beast, has resided in the Sky Sword Sect for thousands of years. It carries a trace of True Dragon Bloodline within its body, possesses immense power and carries a strange treasure in its shell which can be used to foresee fortune and misfortune.]

[After endless years of solitary existence, how has it managed to survive?]

Lu Xuan could sense a hint of loneliness from the Dragon Turtle’s detailed status.

Having lived for thousands of years, it watched its friends age and die one by one, until it was eventually left alone. The only means it had to recall the distant past were tales of the Core Formation Real People and Primordial Infant True Monarchs of the Sky Sword Sect.

This gossiping Dragon Turtle was simply an old beast that had reached the peak of loneliness.

Well, given its immeasurable lifespan, it might not yet be considered ‘old’.

Listening to the Dragon Turtle’s gossip about the great powers of the sect for half a day left both the man and the turtle contented.

One had satisfied its desire to confide, the other had sated its thirst for knowledge.

“Kid, what’s your name?”

At the time of parting, the Dragon Turtle asked Lu Xuan.

Inside the Sky Sword Sect, there weren’t many cultivators who could sit down and quietly listen to its chatter for half a day.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators naturally feared it, a Grade 6 Spirit Beast. They were uneasy around it, and their faces changed drastically after hearing all sorts of gossip about the sect elders and mentors, as if they had committed a grave taboo.

Although the Core Formation Real People and even the Primordial Infant Great Powers could sit next to it calmly, there were very few of them, and they had all grown up hearing its tales multiple times.

Moreover, at their level, they would rather spend their time cultivating and comprehending their cultivation techniques, rather than listening to the chatter of the Dragon Turtle.

Lu Xuan, although he was only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, was not at all afraid of this Tier 6 Spirit Beast. At times, when they discussed extraordinary gossip, he would even express amazement and took the initiative to ask more.

This greatly satisfied the Dragon Turtle’s desire to chat and it grew somewhat fond of Lu Xuan.

“I am called Lu Xuan, elder. You can directly use my name.”

“Good, come and keep me company if you have time.”

The Dragon Turtle nodded, its long chin whiskers swaying in the wind, then quietly submerged into the lake.

Seeing that he had been out for quite a while, Lu Xuan lost his desire to continue exploring the Blessed Land and headed back to Cloud House.

Somewhere in the Blessed Land.

A golden-furred Demon Bear lay in a hut made of Spirit Grass, baring its teeth and whimpering in pain.

The Demon Bear’s abdomen was bulging, pulsating in and out. The aura of living energy around it suggested that it was nurturing something terrifying within.

“Brother Sun, what do we do? This Thunderstorm Bear cannot give birth!”

A novice cultivator in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment showed a look of urgency, his voice full of panic.

The Fourth Grade Thunderstorm Bear Mother Beast under his care had been expected to give birth successfully, earning him praise. However, to his surprise, during childbirth, the Mother Beast could not give birth to the new life in her belly.

As time went on, the Mother Beast was becoming weak from exhaustion, and it seemed like she might even be in danger of losing her life.

Sun Yun, standing nearby, struggled to remain calm.

“Did you feed the Mother Beast the Aid Birth Spirit Medicine?”

“I fed her early on. Her condition improved slightly at the time but quickly deteriorated back to this state.”

Sun Yun frowned deeply, contemplating for a moment before saying,

“If all else fails, we’ll have to resort to a caesarean section.”

“But…”

The young man hesitated.

Performing a direct C-section would be considered as outside intervention in the birth of the cub, and could greatly affect the innate spiritual nature of the cub. If the innate aspect is not adequate, the growth rate would be extremely slow.

At the same time, it would also be very harmful to the mother beast. It would take a long time and countless elixirs aimed to strengthen the foundation and nourish the vitality to restore her to normal.

While the success rate of such a procedure is high, if it fails, the loss would be significant.

Breeding spirit beasts is extremely difficult, and the higher the rank, the greater the difficulty. This fourth-grade Thunderstorm Bear had taken him a lot of time, effort and resources to successfully conceive, and he could not bear the responsibility of failure.

“Why not ask Brother Lu Xuan? He holds the Beast Owning Order, and he’s the one who makes decisions about all the Spirit Beasts in the Blessed Land. Let him decide the fate of the mother beast and the cub in her womb.”

The young man gritted his teeth, speaking with resolve.

“Alright, then. Stay here, I’ll inform Junior Brother Lu at the fastest speed.”

Sun Yun knew that this was not a time to bring up personal conflicts. With swift decision, a Four-Winged Spirit Bird appeared before him. Sun Yun hopped on it, soared into the sky, and rushed toward the Cloud House where Lu Xuan resides.

“You’re saying that a fourth-grade mother beast is having complications during birth?”

Lu Xuan looked at the handsome young man who had suddenly appeared before him, his expression serious.

“Yes, indeed. The situation has become rather severe. We request your decision, Junior Brother Lu.”

Lu Xuan quickly learned about the information of the spirit beast from Sun Yun.

The fourth-grade Thunderstorm Bear was incredibly strong and possesses the ability to control lightning. Among beasts of the same rank, it is at the forefront in terms of power.

High-grade, strong innate talent, once such a spirit beast successfully conceives, efforts should be made to ensure the safe birth of its cub.

“In order to ensure the safety of the mother beast, try to let it give birth naturally.”

Lu Xuan said, his expression firm.

“But the issue now is, it’s very difficult for the two conditions to be satisfied at the same time, and even the success rate of birth is not very high.”

“If we directly cut open the belly of the mother beast to remove the cub, it could likely result in innate deficiency, and its physical constitution and spiritual intelligence could be affected.”

Sun Yun quickly answered.

“You take me to the scene. I have quite some experience in the breeding of spirit beasts.”

Lu Xuan spoke confidently.

“Sure.”

At this moment, Sun Yun had no doubt about Lu Xuan. He knew some of his feats whenever he occasionally returned to the sect. So he invited Lu Xuan onto the Four-Winged Spirit Bird and swiftly rushed to the location of the Thunderstorm Bear Mother Beast.

Along the way, Sun Yun detailed the specific conditions and current status of the mother beast to Lu Xuan. However, when Lu Xuan asked him about the cause of its difficult labor, Sun Yun shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.

Lu Xuan stood on the back of the swiftly flying demon bird, his gaze sharp and his robe billowing in the raging wind.

“The Beast Doctor Genius is back in action, ah… before it was about resolving the fertility issues of the Linghe tribe, the issue of Yin Yang Koi Fish not being able to reproduce, the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insect’s hatred of each other, and the Scold the Yin Beast that had been parasitized by Gluttonous Color Insect…”

“What’s different is that, previously, it was about aiding fertility, but now it’s about aiding delivery.”

“After this ordeal, my reputation as the Beast Doctor Genius will probably be thoroughly cemented within the sect.”

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.

Confident about resolving the birthing complication of this fourth-grade Spirit Beast, he believed in his own abilities.

With the unique ability to learn about the spirit beasts’ information through feeding, he could identify the cause of the mother beast’s difficulty in labor, thereby providing a cure to ensure the smooth birth of the cub.

This was the key reason why Sun Yun and others had been unable to solve the problem all along.

Faced with this situation, they could only rely on their experience and perform a fixed method to aid the birth of the cub. They could not identify the root cause and thus could not find a solution more effectively.

And that was the difference between Lu Xuan and them.
