Hatching

Seeing the float move, Lu Yang was overjoyed. He put the condensed spiritual water into the prepared jade artifact and quickly pulled up the fishing rod.

To be honest, Lu Yang is a real veteran of the fishing industry. Since his first time fishing here, he has only caught one golden carp.

After that, not only did he fail to catch any carp, but he didn't even catch a single ordinary small fish, which made Lu Yang realize his own fishing ability.

I didn't really care about it today; I just thought I'd fish casually, since the main task was to gather spiritual water.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act yielded unexpected results, and the fish took the bait.

A red carp glitters in the sunlight.

Although it was just an ordinary fish, not as good as the golden carp that Lu Yang caught the first time, Lu Yang had nothing to complain about. With his fishing skills, it was a blessing to catch any fish at all, so what was there to complain about?

Lu Yang always felt that the fish in this world were smarter than those in his previous life. Even if he had the help of his spiritual sense and knew where the fish were, and cast his line, they might not necessarily take the bait.

There's no shortage of food in the Qingcang River; you can only catch stupid fish and gluttonous fish.

Lu Yang didn't ask whether eating the stupid fish would make the man stupid. He couldn't even wait to return to the courtyard. He directly gutted the red carp.

Unfortunately, what Lu Yang had hoped for did not happen.

Lu Yang then shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm just too greedy. How can I catch treasures from the river every day?"

A burst of spiritual flame struck the red carp, and with a sprinkle of seasoning, Lu Yang enjoyed the fragrant grilled fish, clearing his mind of many thoughts.

After that, Lu Yang would spend his spare time each day collecting spiritual water from the Qingcang River to grow the roots of the Tranquilizing Tree, and occasionally catch a red carp for a treat.

Although this red carp is not a demon beast and has some impurities, it's okay to eat it occasionally.

It is worth mentioning that after Lu Yang posted the notice at the Spirit Plant Hall, all the spirit plant masters in the clan sent him invitations one after another.

The minor-level cultivation technique for planting provides immense assistance to the spirit valley, increasing production by no less than two spirit stones. Moreover, it also benefits the spirit fields, so the cultivators naturally wouldn't refuse it.

So every day after that, Lu Yang would take some time to help perform spells in these spiritual plant fields.

Some clansmen who farmed outside Qingcang Mountain also wanted Lu Yang to help them with their magic, but Lu Yang declined them all.

It's too troublesome. Traveling to perform the ritual would not only waste a lot of time, but also be risky. Just like Lu Yunxia said last time, he showed up on stage, and we don't want the Fang family to really target him and kill him.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Some of the spiritual plants had matured, and they were gradually giving Lu Yang feedback on his fortune.

Adding to Lu Yang's own three months of accumulation, if you calculate carefully, Lu Yang's accumulated fortune is now equivalent to a year's worth.

The majority of the profits came from Lu Jie, who had reaped another season's worth of gains. With Lu Yang's help this time, Lu Jie's gains were even greater.

Lu Yang naturally received a lot of good fortune from Lu Jie, a full four months' worth.

Boo!

Just as Lu Yang was thinking about how to use up this year's fortune, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

Lu Yang looked sharply toward the source of the sound and saw an eggshell that had cracked open in response.

"Eclipse sun!"

Looking at the tiny head emerging from the eggshell, Lu Yang couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face. The Sun-Eating Dog had finally hatched!

It has been almost a year since Lu Yang obtained the Sun-Eating Beast egg, but after all this time, the eggshell has not shown any signs of life.

After Lu Yang set up a first-tier spiritual vein, he simply placed the Sun-Eating Hound at the spiritual vein node. With abundant spiritual energy nurturing it, the dog finally started to make some noise.

The Sun-Eating Beast crawled out of the egg, its eyes slowly opening. The four eyes met, and Lu Yang couldn't help but feel curious looking at the puppy in front of him.

How come this dog hatched from an egg?

It is said that this Sun-Eating Dog is the offspring of the divine beasts Tianpeng and Tiangou. Therefore, although it looks like a dog, it has wings and can fly by flapping its wings. It lives by eating the sun.

The reason it hatches from an egg is probably because Tianpeng has more of its bloodline.

"Woof woof..."

"Ha ha……"

The familiar barking of a dog made Lu Yang burst into laughter. Shi Ri ate eggshells while rubbing its head against Lu Yang, showing great affection.

As the Sun Eater devoured the eggshell, its body gradually expanded. Streams of Yang Fire Qi gathered around it, forming fire patterns that flowed across its body, causing its aura to break through to the first, second, and third levels of Qi Refining in the blink of an eye.

hiss!

Are monsters really this unreasonable?

Although most of the offspring of Foundation Establishment demon beasts are born with Qi Refining cultivation, their cultivation levels vary depending on the purity of their bloodline.

However, being born with the third level of Qi Refining made Lu Yang feel like his cultivation had been in vain.

It's true that being born well is worse than being well-cultivated.

Despite its name, the Sun-Eating Beast does not mean it can devour the sun. It is named so because it can refine the essence of the sun.

After devouring the eggshell, the Sun-Eating Creature was already as tall as a person. The refinement of a large amount of solar essence caused it to grow red hair on its back, and when it flapped its wings, a wind spirit flowed around it.

This appearance made Lu Yang's eyes light up. "Possessing both wind and fire meridians, truly a rare species!"

Woof woof...

Shi Ri licked Lu Yang's hand and chirped happily, which pleased Lu Yang as well. The red carp he had caught yesterday was still in the pond in the yard. Lu Yang scooped it up and threw it to Shi Ri.

Each bite is crisp and crunchy, making eating on a special day even more enjoyable.

"Come on, take us for a spin."

The wings of the Sun Eater were no mere decorations; it was just that he didn't know how fast it was. Lu Yang was a little itchy to get on it, so he jumped onto the Sun Eater's back.

When Lu Yang placed Shi Ri in the spiritual vein to nurture it, he formed a bond with it through his essence and blood. Now that the two are of one mind, Shi Ri has already taken flight without Lu Yang having to give any further instructions.

With a flap of his wings, Lu Yang arrived at the sixth ring of the Yang Realm in the next moment. His speed was no less than that of a mid-grade flying magic weapon.

Moreover, riding beasts in flight displays great power and grandeur.

No wonder cultivators like to contract a spirit beast as a mount.

Yangwu Ring Road.

Lu Yang landed in a courtyard. After the sun set, the creature shrank in size, becoming only the size of an arm. It jumped onto Lu Yang's shoulder, which made Lu Yang even happier.

The courtyard gate bears the name "Lu Yang." Indeed, this is the courtyard that the clan allocated to Lu Yang. However, Lu Yang has always lived in the spirit field and has never returned.

I just happened to be passing by, so I decided to stop by and take a look.

The protective array around the courtyard had a dust-proof effect, so even though no one lived there for so long, the courtyard remained spotless. Several green bamboos were planted in the courtyard, giving it a tranquil feel, which pleased Lu Yang.

Perhaps I can come back for a short stay sometime in the future.

"Xuan Yang, come to the main hall for the council."

Just then, Lu Qingren's voice came through the token, which distracted Lu Yang, who quickly responded.

Riding the Sun-Eating Beast, Lu Yang landed in the council hall, startling Lu Qingren so much that he ran out of the hall.

"This is a Sun-Eating Beast, it's hatched!"

To be honest, Lu Qingren was quite envious of the Sun-Eating Beast under Lu Yang's mount. It had just hatched and already had the cultivation of the third level of Qi Refining, with its wind and fire energies blazing brightly, indicating that its bloodline was extraordinary.

Such a spirit beast, if properly nurtured, has a very good chance of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage. Looking at Lu Yang, Lu Qingren's eyes changed. This kid is really lucky!
