Section 11 Hatching of Fox Eggs

  As the Sea Exploding Crocodile continued to absorb the water element, its body expanded and its cultivation increased continuously.

  "Five years of cultivation." Shu let out a deep breath, five years of cultivation was already the dividing line between ordinary and excellent.

  "Six years of cultivation!" He was excited, indeed worthy of being a Sea Exploding Crocodile.

  But he still didn't stop. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he shouted: "Seven years of cultivation!"

  The sea burst crocodile was now half the height of a person, its claws and teeth gleaming with cold light, its ferocious breath growing even more intense. It seemed to be full, but it continued to absorb the original energy at a slower pace.

  "Eight years of cultivation!" Shu Da was so excited that he almost jumped up, and at the last moment, Hai Bao finally reached eight years of cultivation. Without a doubt, this is absolutely exceptional growth potential!

  Feeling a deeper connection with the Sea Dragon Leviathan in his heart, Shuda burst into loud laughter: "I'm indeed a genius!"

  His emotions were too excited, he suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded, the sky spinning around him. Just as he was about to fall over, a stream of spiritual energy came from the Sea Exploding Crocodile's body, reversing the flow back into him.

  A deep blue aura of spiritual energy quickly spread throughout his entire body. Shu Dai's whole body trembled, as if he had taken a great tonic pill, and his feeling of weakness was swept away, instantly becoming vigorous and full of life.

  ……

  "Skin is not bad, it's really refreshing!" At this time, Shu Er was riding on the body of a personal maid in the hanging bed curtain, with both hands freely kneading the full and tender breasts.

  He made a low humming noise, his eyes gleaming with **light, his lower body constantly twitching, completely disregarding the maid's tearful eyes and the stifled sobs she was trying to hold back.

  "What's all the commotion outside? That Shu Da is such an uncouth fellow, he doesn't know how to appreciate a good servant girl! Hmph?" He asked in a displeased and low tone.

  Outside the door, a servant's reply came immediately: "Report to the second young master, the eldest young master successfully hatched the demon beast egg. Moreover, the quality of that demon beast egg is extremely high, and in the first absorption of yuanqi, it actually rose to eight years of cultivation in one go."

  "What? He actually got ahead of me!" Shu Er's movements stiffened, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

  "Damn it!" He cursed loudly, but his lower body moved faster and faster. The maid, however, bit her teeth tightly, in extreme pain.

  After a moment of blinking, Shu Er's movements suddenly froze, with an expression mixed with depravity, relaxation, and extreme pleasure, floating on his face.

  "Ah..."

  He let out a deep sigh, then his face turned cold and he stood up. Without even looking at the maid beside him, he strode down from the luxurious bed. Putting on a piece of clothing, he hastily fetched his own demonic beast egg.

  After a while.

  "Five years of cultivation... seven years of cultivation, eight years of cultivation! Haha, my green snake has also been cultivated for eight years. Come on, quickly go tell Mother this great news!" Shu Er looked at the grass-green long snake coiled around his feet, with a face full of wild joy.

  Indeed, heaven does not disappoint me!

  "Shu Da, the giant sea turtle, is an aquatic demon beast. Water gives birth to wood, and my green snake, Ben Shao Ye, is a wooden demon beast! Shu Da, you may have been born one moment earlier than me, but you're as stupid as a cow. The position of city master will definitely be mine, it must be!"

  At this moment, Shu Er was full of ambition and his whole body was boiling with enthusiasm.

  A horse dies on the mountain after running.

  Chu Yun climbed to the top of the nameless volcano after midnight. The moonlight was like water, illuminating the road ahead of him as bright as white jade. According to his memories from past lives, he successfully found the cave that had left an impression on him.

  This cave is located on the middle slope of an unnamed volcano. The cave isn't particularly dark, as the special rock provides a reddish-brown glow. As soon as he entered the cave, Chu Yun felt a warmth that was different from outside the mountain. The familiar scene made him feel a sense of intimacy that arose spontaneously.

  He continued to venture deeper, and the temperature kept rising. At the bottom of the cave, he finally found a hot spring as he had wished. The hot spring was steaming with heat, and the pool was just the right size. More importantly, the water in the pool - was flowing water.

  Chu Yun was overjoyed and with this hot spring here, he wouldn't know how much trouble it would save him.

  He then did some more work, such as sprinkling tasteless powder around the entrance to the cave and making simple traps with iron wire.

  Next, he didn't rush to hatch eggs, but chose a flat place and fell asleep peacefully.

  He has memories of his past life and naturally understands all the things to pay attention to during the incubation process. He is also anxious in his heart, but he holds back his temper and takes it slowly.

  The moon sets and the sun rises, the sky brightens, and the forest welcomes a vibrant morning. The crisp bird songs come in waves, like pleasant flute sounds.

  Chu Yun woke up.

  He stretched his body and started exercising. After waking up from this sleep, he felt extremely refreshed and his physical strength had also recovered to its peak.

  He took out the dry rations he had with him and ate until he was about 80% full. Then, he formally began to incubate the top-grade Celestial Fox egg.

  The first step is to purify oneself.

  The purpose of cleansing is to remove the strange smell from one's body. A newly born demon beast is extremely sensitive and easily remembers the first person it sees, including their appearance, scent, and so on, all of which will be deeply etched in the demon beast's memory.

  Purify the body, remove the strange smell, restore its original appearance, and establish a more solid intimate connection between humans and demon beasts.

  What is most taboo is for a person's body to have the scent of another. Therefore, before incubating eggs, one absolutely cannot engage in overly intimate physical contact with others.

  Chu Yun had a fierce battle last night and then trekked through the mountains and forests, his body smelling of blood, rocks, trees... it was very mixed and heavy, completely covering up his own scent. Cleaning his body was now a top priority.

  In that case, the hot spring in the cave is the best choice. There are also streams nearby, but after walking back and forth between the caves, they will be contaminated with other smells along the way.

  Chu Yun took off his clothes stained with mud, moss and blood, and threw them far away. He entered the warm spring and began to clean himself carefully.

  The spring water temperature is just right, like a gentle caress soothing the whole body. The steam wafts gently, opening up all the pores on the skin, and an extremely refreshing feeling rises from the heart.

  He carefully wiped every corner of his body, hair ends, scalp, ears, nasal wings, and so on, without missing a single speck of dirt.

  His figure is more slender than Shu Da's stoutness and slightly more robust than Shu Er's thinness. The body of a thirteen-year-old boy, with tender and smooth skin, has a streamlined beauty in its muscle lines. Although half-hidden by the steam, a hint of youthful vitality still exudes a rich fragrance, fully revealing his vigorous and energetic appearance.

  He spent more than half a day, wiping it three times, and only then was he satisfied with the result before leaving the hot spring.

  Putting on the new clothes he had prepared, Chu Yun shook off his previous disheveled appearance and looked refreshed. He was originally quite handsome, and with this simple white linen outfit, anyone who saw him would surely think "youth is really great".

  There was no other strange smell on his body, and he was emitting a warm mist.

  However, Chu Yun was not very satisfied with this steam. He waited quietly until the steam had completely evaporated before proceeding to the next step.

  The second step is to wash the eggs.

  The monster egg, the surface of the eggshell is often stained with mud and other dirt, needs to be cleaned. After the monster hatches, the broken eggshell is the best food for the young monster.

  Food must be clean and hygienic, it needs to be washed cleanly.

  After a while, the polluted water in the hot spring flowed out, and clear living water flowed in. With this warm spring water, Chu Yun carefully washed Tian Hu's egg clean.

  After washing the eggs, it's the third step - choosing a place.

  The choice of location for the hatching of the demon beast egg is also a matter of great importance. It is often in places with abundant yuanqi, densely populated areas, such as villages and towns, where the human energy is strong, but the yuanqi is weak, making them not an ideal choice.

  On the contrary, forests, grasslands and oceans, which are rarely visited by humans, have abundant yuanqi and are good places for incubation. Some special monster eggs have extremely strict requirements for their incubation environment. Non-specific environments will not hatch them. Forced incubation can harm or even kill the monsters inside the egg.

  For example, the mountain cave where Chu Yun is currently living is located on the waist of an unnamed volcano, and it also backs onto a forest. The fire element is abundant, in addition to this, there are large amounts of earth element, wood element, water element in the air, as well as small amounts of free gold element.

  Beishu's home is much better than this one.

  The fourth step is to build a nest.

  Building a hatching nest is also different due to the egg. Some demon beast eggs require particularly complex, even difficult conditions. However, Chu Yun's Tian Huo egg was not among them.

  He took out 50 pieces of Geo and stacked them up to form a circular tray.

  The earth evil stone can convert the surrounding yuanqi, it can turn fire yuanqi into water yuanqi, and change earth yuanqi into gold yuanqi. It is a main material for building nests.

  Generally, about 30 pieces of earth-reducing stones would be enough. However, Chu Yun thought that it was better to waste some earth-reducing stones and do his best to make the newly born Tian Hu absorb the fullest yuanqi.

  Apart from the main material of Di Sha stone, there are also auxiliary materials.

  At this time, the bag of snow sand given by Hong Qiang Grandfather came in handy. Snow sand is a rare material, pure and crystal clear, with a warm and spiritual effect. Using it can better and faster communicate with the spirituality of the demon beast.

  After pouring out a bag of snow sand, Chu Yun was relieved to find that it was just enough.

  Next, step five - dripping blood.

  In human society, there is a saying that "a drop of blood can recognize relatives". A drop of blood is an important step in building connections, refining the eggs of monsters and turning them into one's own use.

  The blood used, the more refined, the better the effect. The best blood on a person's body is the heart's blood. However, it doesn't mean to actually cut open the abdomen, dig out the heart and use its dripping blood.

  Generally speaking, a Taoist priest will bite his finger and drip out fresh blood. As the saying goes, "the ten fingers are connected to the heart", this kind of blood is also heart's blood.

  However, the method adopted by Chu Yun was not like that. He bit his tongue and held a mouthful of vital blood. One must first think carefully before speaking, so the blood on the tongue is also heart's blood. Moreover, because the tongue is soft and has vitality, it is more vivid and warm than the blood on the fingertips.

  It's just an ordinary Onmyodo spell to lay eggs, it won't bite its tongue, using the tip of the tongue blood. It's all because using this method is far more painful than biting a finger. The bitten finger can be bandaged and deliberately avoided from use. But the tongue is not possible, eating and speaking both need to use it.

  Chu Yun had no tongue-tip blood in his previous life, but finger-tip blood. However, after he was reborn, his mentality underwent a subtle change. Whatever he did, he did it to perfection, making up for the regrets of the past.

  However, when it comes down to it, refining a top-grade demonic beast egg is also a normal thing. Using tongue-tip blood is also a normal thing.
