Chapter 300: Lynx's Promotion, Illusion Breaking Eye Technique
Lu Xuan focused his mind on the silver-white pearl, instantly gaining detailed information about it.
[Moonlight Pearl, a fourth-grade treasure, refined over hundreds of years using the essence of moonlight generated on nights of the full moon.]
[The moonlight spiritual energy inside the pearl can nourish the body and soul, ensuring their completeness and perfection. Additionally, it can be used to treat physical and spiritual injuries with exceptional healing effects.]
"A top-grade auxiliary artifact!"
Lu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected such a great treasure to come from the seemingly inconspicuous third-grade Moonlit Grass.
The ability to nourish both body and soul alone made him extremely satisfied.
During breakthroughs, one needed complete spiritual power, physical strength, and soul integrity. With this Moonlight Pearl, he could effectively fill any gaps and slightly increase the possibility of advancement.
Moreover, its potent healing effects made this fourth-grade treasure invaluable to Lu Xuan.
As spiritual energy flowed into the pearl and he commanded it, a large amount of moonlight surged out, covering his entire body.
Instantly, he felt as if he were wandering in a world of silver moonlight, experiencing an incomparable sense of tranquility and comfort in both body and soul.When the moonlight dissipated, Lu Xuan came back to himself, feeling somewhat reluctant as he stored the Moonlight Pearl in his storage bag.
"The only regret is that I might not have many opportunities to use its healing effects."
He thought to himself, knowing that he rarely engaged in conflicts with others and only did so with absolute certainty of victory. Therefore, he couldn't imagine getting injured easily.
With a self-deprecating smile, he was about to return to his room when he noticed the Demonic Ghost Vine lurking suspiciously in the corner, its gray tendrils swaying gently towards him, looking like a loyal follower.
Feeling something, he raised his head and saw the Wind Falcon spreading its broad wings in the silver-black night sky, motionless like a dark cloud.
Scanning his spiritual awareness over the entire spiritual field, Lu Xuan found that the Cloud-Stepping Lynx seemed to blend into the night, with only its emerald green pupils blinking like ghostly flames.
"You three little rascals, you came over as soon as you smelled it."
Seeing the three creatures like this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.
The third-grade Moonlit Grass was extremely attractive to the three demonic beasts, but Lu Xuan had repeatedly warned them to wait until daytime to be fed. Nevertheless, now that the Moonlit Grass had ripened, they couldn't wait any longer.
Lu Xuan had intended to feed them during the day, but since they had already awakened, he decided to feed them now.
He took out the Moonlit Grass from his storage bag and divided it into three parts, tossing them to the three creatures.
The Demonic Ghost Vine shot out its gray tendrils like snakes, grabbing the silver-white plants. Many fine cracks appeared on the tendrils, lined with tiny serrations.
The Moonlit Grass stuck tightly to the tendrils, which continued to gnaw at it, breaking it into pieces. At the same time, gray mucus oozed from the cracks, wrapping around the fragments and entering the tendrils.
After swallowing the Moonlit Grass, feeling the rich lunar energy nourishing every tendril, the Demonic Ghost Vine went into a frenzy, its tendrils dancing wildly on the ground.
Ever since it entered Lu Xuan's spiritual field, it had marked many rare and precious spiritual plants. Today, finally getting to indulge itself, it was almost moved to tears, if it could shed any.
After the Wind Falcon and the Cloud-Stepping Lynx swallowed the Moonlit Grass, a layer of misty moonlight enveloped their bodies. Within the rhythm of their breaths, the moonlight expanded and contracted.
"Hmm?"
Lu Xuan noticed that as the Cloud-Stepping Lynx absorbed more lunar spiritual energy, its aura continued to rise.
Its emerald green eyes suddenly lit up, piercing through the mist-like moonlight. In an instant, the Lynx's aura reached its peak, and all the silver-white moonlight around it was sucked into its body.
Since his time in Linyang Fang Market, Lu Xuan had been raising this Cloud-Stepping Lynx. After years of careful cultivation, using various demonic beast spiritual fruits for nourishment, including rare ones like the third-grade Jade Scale Fruit and the third-grade Moonlit Grass, the first-grade Cloud-Stepping Lynx finally broke free from the shackles of its bloodline and ascended to become a second-grade exotic beast.
Its form revealed, it was visibly larger than before, with its entire body covered in jet-black fur. Its emerald green eyes were full of spirituality, appearing deep and mysterious, as if they could capture one's soul.
"Hmm~"
Communicating with Lu Xuan through spiritual awareness, the Cloud-Stepping Lynx emitted a low growl of satisfaction. Immediately, its thick, cloud-like paw gently stepped forward, turning into a dark streak that raced across the spiritual field.
"It's now twice as fast. Let's test its attack power."
Lu Xuan commanded the Lynx to stop and threw a piece of second-grade spiritual ore at it from his storage bag.
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx's white jade claws sprouted several sharp claws between its toes. A gust of wind whistled by, and the surface of the spiritual ore bore five deep marks.
"This level of destructive power... is comparable to some second-grade offensive artifacts."
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. After several tests, he found that the Lynx's physical strength, speed, and attack power had all improved significantly.
Not to mention, it was originally an exotic beast. Its emerald green eyes, full of spirituality, could perceive things that were normally invisible. In the market and in secret realms, it had discovered signs of evil spirits more than once.
After its promotion, its emerald green eyes had also improved significantly, but there was currently no opportunity for it to demonstrate its full potential.
Lu Xuan even entertained the idea of finding some evil spirits for it to practice on.
He looked at the increasingly majestic Cloud-Stepping Lynx, couldn't help but reach out and tug at the two tufts of gray-white fur on its ear tips.
Behind the Lynx, a white light orb quietly appeared, faintly flickering and drawing Lu Xuan's touch.
Lu Xuan reached out slowly, and as soon as he touched the orb, it burst into countless tiny specks of light. The light formed a vague, eye-like shape, which then drilled into Lu Xuan's forehead.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Cloud-Stepping Lynx promoted to second-grade exotic beast, obtained third-grade technique "Illusion Breaking Eye Technique" (Part 1)]
The thought disappeared, and a large amount of information rushed into Lu Xuan's sea of consciousness.
[Illusion Breaking Eye Technique, a third-grade technique, Part 1. When practiced, it has the effect of improving vision and refreshing the mind. It can sense subtle changes in spiritual energy, greatly weaken the effects of illusions, and has a certain chance of directly breaking through illusions and spells of third-grade and lower levels.]
"A third-grade technique that, when practiced, can
enhance vision, see through illusions, and even break through formations at a glance."
"Unfortunately, it's only Part 1 of the technique. I wonder how to obtain Part 2. Could it be that the Lynx needs to ascend again?"
"When a first-grade exotic Lynx ascends to second grade, the reward is the third-grade Illusion Breaking Eye Technique. If it obtains the lower part of the technique when ascending to third grade or higher, does that mean the lower part of the Illusion Breaking Eye Technique could be a fourth-grade or even fifth-grade technique?"
Lu Xuan speculated, thinking about the possibility of having a fourth-grade or fifth-grade technique, and couldn't help but feel delighted.
"You've performed well today. Remember to stay humble and diligent in your practice, striving to break through as soon as possible."
He instructed the Lynx.
The Lynx walked past gracefully, seemingly expressionless, but deep inside, it was continuously encouraging itself to work hard in its practice, every thought being heard by Lu Xuan without missing a beat.
