  Chapter 144 The Blessings of the Working Crane

  After obtaining the task information, Lu Xuan didn't stop any longer, rented a spirit crane, and came to the Beast Control Hall.

  He asked his colleagues in the Beast Control Hall about the specific habitat of the spirit crane, bypassed several mountain peaks, and found a vast water pool.

The water pond covers an area of ​​more than one hundred acres, and there are hundreds of cranes inhabiting here at this time. Many of the cranes have white feathers and elegant postures. They are either pondering aquatic plants in the water pond, or stretching their wings in the low sky. Lu Xuan After searching for a long time, I saw a pair of spirit cranes with their long necks twined and their ears rubbed together.

  As if sensing Lu Xuan's arrival, a monk flew out from the depths of the water, with dark skin and nine levels of Qi training.

   "This junior is being polite. I, Xu Yi, is the manager of this water pool. What is the name of the junior, but he is here to solve the birth problem of the spirit crane?"

   "Hello Senior Brother Xu, in Xia Luxuan, just as the senior brother said, I received the task of giving birth to the spirit crane in Shuwutang, come over to the Linghe habitat to have a look."

   "It turned out to be Junior Brother Lu. You have worked hard all the way here. Come with me to rest for a while."

  Hearing this, Xu Yi showed an eager smile on his face, leading Lu Xuan to shuttle in the water.

   Half a quarter later, the two came to a wooden building. The building area was small, with only three or four huts, but the environment was good, surrounded by water and with a good view.

   "Brother Xu raised all the cranes in the sect by yourself?"

   After the two chatted for a while, Lu Xuan asked curiously.

   "Haha, I'm not the only one, but I'm mainly in charge of these spirit cranes."

   "The spirit cranes in the water pool are only a small part. Most of the spirit cranes are now left in various places of the sect, carrying fellow sects, and earning some spirit stones for the Beast Control Hall."

   "When night falls, they will basically return to the water. Only a few cranes are still guarding important places in the sect."

  The dark-skinned Xu Yi laughed.

   "There are hundreds of cranes in the water pool or a few? The total number is at least a thousand?"

   Lu Xuan asked in surprise, surprised by the large number of spirit cranes.

"A recent census on the number of spirit cranes found that there were more than 2,300 spirit cranes. However, this is the lowest number in history. I remember that when I took over this water lake, the number of spirit cranes in it exceeded 3,000. head."

   "The main sects have a relatively large demand for spirit cranes. Whether it is for communication or transportation, they are all good targets."

  Xu Yi explained.

  Lu Xuanshen took it for granted, the area of ​​the sect was vast and boundless, and just one Qianlong Lake stretched for hundreds of miles.

  And most of the outer disciples do not have flying magic weapons, how to shorten the traveling time is a huge problem for them.

  Although monks in the realm of Qi training have light-weight techniques or speed-type talismans, the speed is relatively slow and consumes a lot of money, which is not cost-effective.

  The spirit crane can solve this problem very well. It is extremely fast, not weaker than some flying instruments. Regardless of the distance, it consumes one spirit stone each time, which is within the tolerance of a high-level Qi training monk.

   "There are so many cranes, how do we deal with the food we usually eat?"

  Lu Xuan has a lot of interest in how to raise a large number of cranes.

   "Eating is easy to solve. Let them find some spirit grass roots, young leaves, or spirit clams and snails in the water."

   "From time to time, Yu Beast Hall will provide some specially cultivated spirit insects to raise spirit cranes."

  Xu Yi asked casually.

   "..."

   "Spirit cranes earn so many spirit stones, so feed them these things?"

   Lu Xuan was speechless. There were more than 2,000 spirit cranes in the Beast Control Hall, each of which earned a few spirit stones per day on average, and it was estimated that there would be no less than seven or eight thousand spirit stones in a day.

   With such a gold-absorbing spirit beast, you actually have to go to the water lake to find food by yourself?

  Besides, there are so many spirit cranes crowded in this swamp, one might bump into several of the same kind in a single dash, which is also a considerable constraint for the spirit cranes soaring in the sky.

   "I worked so hard to earn spirit stones, but as a result, I didn't have enough to eat and lived poorly. All of it went into the pocket of Yushoutang."

   "This is the blessing of the migrant cranes. Life is completely hopeless. No wonder they don't want to have children at all."

  Lu Xuan sighed for how black-hearted the monks of Yu Beast Hall were, and understood Linghe's choice very well.

  The two chatted for a while, and another young monk found Shui Ze. After the conversation, Lu Xuan learned that the young monk's name was Zhou Zhengqing, and he also came for Linghe's fertility problem.

  Some tasks in the General Affairs Hall have a limit on the number of monks, while others do not. There is no limit to the number of monks in the Linghe Fertility task.

   "It should be Junior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Zhou who have accepted this task. In the next few days, I will work hard for the two Junior Brothers to help solve the problem of Linghe's birth."

  Xu Yi straightened his expression and said seriously.

"Spirit cranes are widely used in Tianjianzong, but these spirit cranes raised by Yu Beast Hall are now facing a big problem. The number of spirit cranes willing to give birth is getting smaller and smaller, which makes the total number of spirit cranes have been declining in recent years. "

   "Especially this year, there are nearly 20% fewer pregnant cranes than last year. If this continues, the sect will almost not have enough cranes to carry monks."

  A look of worry appeared on Xu Yi's face.

   "There is another problem that needs attention. Among the spirit cranes, the number of female cranes that refuse to give birth is obviously less."

   "Because of the long gestation period, it takes a lot of time and energy to hatch and raise young cranes, especially during the conception stage. Breeding crane eggs will cause their own spiritual power to be damaged. This is also the main reason for the decrease in the number of cranes."

   "Even when the crane is in estrus, it can be seen that the mating desire of the crane is seriously reduced. Many cranes would rather go out to earn spirit stones than stay in the water and give birth to new cranes."

  Xu Yi explained Linghe's situation to Lu Xuan and the others in detail.

  The two were silent for a moment after hearing the words, as if they were thinking about a solution.

   "Brother Xu, I feel that the reason for the current situation is not the objective difficulty of giving birth to the cranes, but their subjective reluctance to give birth, so it is best to start from this aspect."

   Lu Xuan spoke first.

  Having experience in his previous life, he empathizes with Linghe's choice.

   "Junior Brother Lu, what you said is a bit mysterious."

   Zhou Zhengqing on the side heard what Lu Xuan said, and couldn't help but retort aloud.

   "They are just some evil beasts, life and death are in our hands, how can they choose whether to give birth or not?"

  He turned his head to look at Xu Yi, and said with a smile.

   "Brother Xu, I suggest a simple and direct method to force those cranes to reproduce more, so as to increase the number of cranes."

"It just so happens that I came across a secret technique by chance, which is similar to the technique of dual cultivation, which can give birth to the **** of spirit beasts. In addition, there is a method of preparing drugs for fascination. With the two-phase effect, it is guaranteed that the spirit cranes will reproduce in large numbers. Increase the number of cranes."

   "Really? Junior brother Zhou actually has such a good idea?"

  Xu Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
