In the courtyard.
The Wind Falcon tightly contracted its broad wings, resembling an old hen, diligently hatching the Rock Shell Turtle eggs.
Lu Xuan's keen spiritual awareness sensed subtle changes within the thick turtle shells.
With a barely audible crackling sound, slender cracks appeared and spread within the heavy shells.
After a moment, cracks surfaced on the shell where a part of the Rock Shell Turtle's body protruded from the round belly of the Wind Falcon.
With a snap, the baby turtle inside forcefully broke through the shell, its head poking out of the crack in the shell.
The entire shell shattered, and a turtle the size of a basin emerged, pressing against the soft belly of the Wind Falcon as it crawled out.
The baby turtle was dark green-black, with what seemed like a heavy shell, even though it had just hatched. Its abdomen appeared to be composed of irregular rocks, giving off a sense of hardness.
As soon as it emerged, it displayed extreme liveliness, quickly breaking and swallowing the shell pieces, and with each shell fragment consumed, its aura noticeably strengthened.
"You've got another turtle son," Lu Xuan laughed, addressing the Wind Falcon, which had been observing the baby turtle's behavior all along.
Although the plump bird was not very willing to be a hatching tool, after the previous Fire Jiao and now the Rock Shell Turtle were born, it had developed some maternal instincts.
Unlike the baby Jiao, which had a strong dependency on the Wind Falcon, the baby turtle crawled around shortly after its birth, displaying remarkable agility.
And it was fast.
Lu Xuan estimated that to surpass this third-grade Rock Shell Turtle, he would need at least a second-grade rabbit-like monster.
He stopped the Rock Shell Turtle and took out a piece of monster meat from his storage bag, stuffing it into the baby turtle's mouth.
As his mind concentrated, detailed information about the baby turtle flashed through his mind.
【Rock Shell Turtle, a third-grade monster beast known for its defense among peers of the same grade, feeds on various small-sized spirit plants and fish in the sea.】
【It likes to wrap itself in sand, especially sandstones containing spiritual power, to adhere to its body surface, tempering its shell and enhancing its defensive capabilities.】
"A third-grade monster beast known for its defense. It can be expected that the type of reward it will give when fully matured should be a light orb."
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
"Likes sandstones containing spiritual power..."
"I remember Song Yun's sister, Song Sinin, kept a low-grade monster beast called the Sand Gathering Snail, which would refine and transform the sandstones it swallowed, removing impurities and enhancing their spiritual purity."
"I'll ask her for a few when I have a chance, specifically to raise sand for the Rock Shell Turtle."
He thought to himself.
In just a moment, the baby turtle sneakily dived into the water pool.
In the pool, there was only the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp for now.
Sensing something invading its territory, the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp whipped its huge tail, creating high waves instantly.
In an instant, it swam to the black baby turtle, and the green horn on its head fiercely bumped against the turtle shell.
Not even a mark was left.
The baby turtle turned over in the water, boldly crawling towards the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp.
The carp only issued a slight warning. With a trace of true dragon bloodline and innate strength, if it really wanted to deal with the baby turtle, it wouldn't be so casual.
Regardless of whether the warning had been effective, the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp turned around and swam away.
The baby Rock Shell Turtle didn't mind the carp's refusal to play with it and simply sank into the bottom of the water.
Half an hour later, it emerged from the water.
The originally dark green shell was covered with a layer of brown-black mud.
"This mud child is making armor for itself."
Lu Xuan sensed the baby turtle emerging from the water and shook his head with a smile.
He suddenly recalled a kind of short video he had occasionally seen in his previous life, labeled with tags.
The appearance of this baby turtle was remarkably similar to the protagonist of the video.
"So similar!"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
This inexplicable yet close association made him feel much happier.
After hatching the Rock Shell Turtle, Lu Xuan continued to patrol the spiritual field.
In the courtyard, the Cloud-Stepping Lynx was elusive. But whenever Lu Xuan thought of it, it would silently and appropriately appear before him.
The Wind Falcon rarely went out hunting for demon birds and sea fish. After having a turtle son, it resumed its domestic duties, trying its best to fulfill the responsibilities of motherhood.
The Demon Ghost Vine followed Lu Xuan closely, inspecting all the spirit plants in the spiritual field together.
Once it noticed that the marks left on the spirit plants had dimmed, it would secretly secrete a gray sticky substance in the corners of the plants while Lu Xuan wasn't paying attention.
In the water pool, the baby turtle was very active, chasing after the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp. The carp, maintaining the pride and aloofness of a true dragon descendant, looked down on this ordinary-looking turtle.
Lu Xuan carefully inspected the growth of many spirit plants in the spiritual field.
The progress bar under the Mysterious Insect Vine was about to be filled, and since Lu Xuan had plenty of spare time now, he didn't rush to mature it with the Qingmu Source Qi.
He wanted to keep that anticipation alive for a few more days.
This was the first fourth-grade spirit plant he had cultivated in his spiritual plant career, so naturally, it needed careful nurturing.
This time coming to the Empty Abyss Island, he added two spirit beasts, the Azure-Horned Dragon Carp and the Rock Shell Turtle, but there were no new varieties of spirit plants added.
Although there were many types of spirit plants in the sea area, Lu Xuan mostly considered third-grade and higher spirit plants. If a second-grade spirit plant had distinctive features, it could also be considered for cultivation.
Therefore, at present, there were only over a hundred water fire grasses and various sword grasses growing in the spiritual field.
The second-grade sword grasses were cultivated with the "Four Seasons Sword Art" that had reached the transcendent realm, while the third-grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass, nurtured by the Sword Sheath, would produce a wind thunder sword grass seed every month, perfect for absorbing the Fourth-grade Wind Thunder Sword Pill.
The third-grade Starlight Sword Grass had grown to about two feet high, with its sword tip pointing straight to the sky, as if it had drawn endless starlight from the starry sky, leaving it within the plant.
There were countless points of starlight in the body, faintly flickering, as if about to burst out with subtle sword energy.
The fourth-grade Thousand Owls Sword grass, nurtured by the Sword Sheath, was much slower to grow
Under the nourishment of Lu Xuan, the Sword grass grew to about three inches, with branches that were different from other sword grasses.
At the tip of it, there were dozens of green-bean-sized owls. The lower part of their bodies was directly integrated into the branches, and their wings spread out, as if they were about to fly out at any moment, and the feathers looked like long swords as thin as hair.
When Lu Xuan injected the Sword Qi into it, the owls trembled slightly, perfectly harmonizing with the rhythm and frequency of the Sword Qi.
It wasn't until all the Sword Qi was completely absorbed that it gradually calmed down.
Among the other spirit plants, the fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus and the Hundred-Eyed Enigmatic Wood were also about to mature.
Three consecutive fourth-grade spirit plants were about to enter the mature stage, making Lu Xuan particularly excited.
