Chapter 727: Chapter 727 - 725: The Essence Blood of the Green Horn Thunder Son

“Showing off, just keep pretending to be cool.”

Lu Xuan watched expressionlessly as the Thunder Dragon Behemoth Cub boasted with its Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds, secretly chuckling in his heart.

He had given those Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds to the cub before entering Thunder Sea specifically to bolster its image upon returning to its old home, to prove to its kin who once looked down on it that it had been doing quite well for itself out in the world.

The effect was evident.

Sensing the pure Thunder Spirit breath from the Thunderstorm Lotus Seeds, many of the Thunder Behemoths crowded around, their eyes round with envy as they gazed at the Silver White Lotus Seeds in the cub’s paws.

“Ahem.”

With a light cough from Lu Xuan, the cub instantly understood his intention and quickly stowed away the Silver White Lotus Seeds.

Afterward, it led Lu Xuan on a leisurely tour around the Thunder Behemoth’s Territory.

At that moment, continuous dull thunder rumbled, and Lu Xuan followed the sound to see a Green Horn Thunder Son approaching like a small hill.

It crossed dozens of yards in a single step and arrived in front of him in an instant.

“Little friend Lu, have you come to see this old fellow again?”

The aged beast asked softly, yet each word that fell into Lu Xuan’s ears exploded like thunder.

“Yes, I have not seen the Senior for a long time and missed you,”

“I happened to be collecting some Spirit Thunder in the Thunder Sea and thought to visit you,”

“I’ve also specially brought a jar of Spiritual Wine that I brewed myself for you.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile, looking at the Seventh Grade Green Horn Thunder Son, taking out a jar of Ape Demon Wine from his Storage bag and presenting it before him.

“You’re thoughtful.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son spoke slowly as the Ape Demon Wine poured out of the jar like a small stream directly into its mouth.

“Burp~”

Stimulated by the potent alcohol, it couldn’t help but let out a satisfied belch, exhaling a silver-white bolt of Thunder Qi that pierced through a distant mountain peak.

Lu Xuan was secretly amazed, marveling at the strength of a Seventh Grade Monster Beast.

“The taste is good, bring more next time.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son said with a light laugh.

“Of course, Senior.”

Lu Xuan quickly agreed, already feeling slightly embarrassed at how much he had gained from the Green Horn Thunder Son without giving much in return—mooching off an ample amount of Black-Green Thunder Liquid, a generous supply of Thunder Death Crystals, and that Sixth Grade Flying Thunder Ganoderma—so a little Ape Demon Wine was no big deal.

“May I also take the opportunity to clear away those new Thunder Death Crystals for you, Senior?”

Lu Xuan asked courageously.

“Come on up. It was fine before you started cleaning it, but after you’ve done it a few times, I can feel it’s quite relieving.”

Thunder Death Crystals were a special substance formed from the combination of dissipating Thunder Qi and the decaying flesh of the Green Horn Thunder Son, integrated with its own body.

Although it did not affect the Green Horn Thunder Son’s strength or movement, after Lu Xuan had cleared it a few times, the old monster had become fond of this particular care.

“Please excuse my boldness.”

Lu Xuan leapt up and landed on the Green Horn Thunder Son’s back, carefully probing with his Spiritual Sense for the Thunder Death Crystals closely fused with its flesh and blood.

“I’ve seen that Strange Species cub, it’s much more outgoing than before, and its strength has improved beyond my expectations; it’s evident you’ve taken good care of it.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son said in a deep voice to Lu Xuan during the process.

“It’s my duty, the Thunder Dragon Behemoth Cub is quite well-behaved and lovable in the Cave Abode, and it’s much cherished by me and the other Spirit Beasts there.”@@novelbin@@

A mental image of the cub singeing Fat Bird to a crisp came to Lu Xuan’s mind as he said this, not entirely sincerely.

“Then I feel reassured.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son sighed, its voice rumbling like thunder, lingering for a long time.

Lu Xuan felt much from its voice, silent and meticulous as he cleaned the Thunder Death Crystals from its body.

“Compared to the last time, the amount of Thunder Death Crystals that appeared within a similar timeframe seems to have increased, indicating that the aging trend of the Green Horn Thunder Son appears to be more severe.”

He silently contrasted the differences between the recent two times he had cleaned the Thunder Death Crystals, feeling a quiet sense of poignancy in his heart.

“Senior, I’ve finished cleaning the Thunder Death Crystals from your body.”

After completing the task, Lu Xuan carefully stored the over a hundred jin of Thunder Death Crystals from the ground into his storage bag, speaking with the utmost respect.

“Little friend Lu has worked hard.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son nodded its head with a benevolent expression.

“I have a small gift here for the Thunder Dragon Behemoth that follows you.”

No sooner had the words fallen than streaks of turquoise Thunder Qi surged out from its mountainous body; then, a droplet of essence blood mixed with shades of green and red slowly floated out from its mouth.

“This is a drop of my Essence Blood, containing a trace of the power from ancient Thunder Sons. Once ingested by the Thunder Dragon Behemoth, it can purify the power of its bloodline, accelerating its growth.”

“How could this be acceptable? With your current condition, Senior, losing more Essence Blood would only add to your troubles.”

Seeing the Green Horn Thunder Son’s somewhat defeated demeanor, Lu Xuan hurriedly waved his hands in refusal.

“I’ve already taken it out, are you still not going to accept it?”

The Green Horn Thunder Son’s voice raised a few notches, sounding like thunder out of a clear sky, causing Lu Xuan’s ears to ring painfully.

“Don’t worry, it doesn’t have a large impact on me.”

“The reason I’m giving it to the Thunder Dragon Behemoth is simply because I have high hopes for its future achievements, and I want to give a favor in advance,”

said the pale turquoise behemoth slowly.

“Then, on behalf of the Thunder Dragon Behemoth, I will gratefully accept this generous gift from you, Senior.”

Seeing the Green Horn Thunder Son’s firm attitude, Lu Xuan quickly expressed his gratitude and summoned the Thunder Dragon Behemoth to properly thank its ancestor.

“My lifespan is not much longer, and once my time comes, the only thing I’ll be worried about is the Thunder Behemoth Tribe.”

“Without me to protect the territory, the threats they will face in the future are certain to increase dramatically. Giving this drop of Essence Blood to the Thunder Dragon Behemoth is also to create a good karma.”

“In the future, if the tribe faces a crisis of extinction, I ask you, little friend Lu, and the Thunder Dragon Behemoth to come and help resolve it.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son spoke slowly.

Among the Thunder Behemoth Tribe Group, there are no less than ten Strange Species like the Thunder Dragon Behemoth, but only the Thunder Dragon Behemoth was fortunate enough to receive the Essence Blood from within its body.

It’s not so much that it sees potential in the Thunder Dragon Behemoth’s future, as much as it sees potential in Lu Xuan.

The once solitary and odd Thunder Dragon Behemoth underwent earth-shattering changes after being taken away by Lu Xuan.

Its temperament improved greatly, and its strength grew at a rate far exceeding its kin; Fourth Grade Thunder Fury Lotus Seeds were like snacks to it.

One should know that even with the strength and status of the Green Horn Thunder Son, it would not be able to enjoy Fourth Grade Spiritual Fruits to its heart’s content.

Under Lu Xuan’s meticulous care and the exceedingly favorable conditions for cultivation, the future of the Thunder Dragon Behemoth Cub appeared very promising.

It gave away a drop of its Essence Blood also to create good karma in hopes that after its death, if the Thunder Behemoth Tribe faced extinction, Lu Xuan might, out of this sentiment, lend a hand.

“Senior, your instructions will be etched in my heart!”

“Should the Thunder Behemoth race face any danger, as long as it is within my power, I shall do my utmost to assist.”

“Of course, I believe that Senior’s lifespan will extend for thousands upon thousands of years, and it is unlikely that such a day will come.”

Lu Xuan pledged gravely, and as a parting shot, he subtly flattered him.

“Ha ha!”

“May Little friend Lu’s good words come true.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son laughed heartily, causing countless thunderstorms to rage across the territory of the Thunder Behemoth.

Leveraging the strength of the alcohol, the thunder beneath its solitary foot bloomed like a lotus, carrying it back to a Thunder Pond, where in an instant, snores resonant as thunder began to sound.
