From stable boy to peerless immortal

If Shen Yuan hadn't deliberately taken it easy and only drawn upon a portion of the Crimson Scale Horse's power, the full force of the horse would have surged forth and even burst him apart.

Furthermore, Shen Yuan could feel an extremely hot demonic power surging within his body, gathering in his palm, making his palm as red as blood, and beginning to emit hot white smoke, igniting wisps of crimson demonic fire.

These crimson demonic flames flowed between his palms and fingers like small snakes, with an exceptionally high temperature. They scorched the surrounding air, making it distort and dry, and could easily melt gold and iron!

Once the powerful strike is unleashed, even a master of innate martial arts will suffer a terrible death.

Clearly, with the riding skills taught by Old Man Niu, Shen Yuan now has an extra trump card.

As long as he can ride this crimson-scaled horse, his combat power will be comparable to that of a primordial martial artist!

The next moment, Shen Yuan dissipated the demonic fire and the power within his body, and did not unleash it.

The reason why a trump card is a trump card is that it can be hidden and kept secret, so that it can be played unexpectedly at a crucial moment and exert tremendous power!

......

After practicing his riding skills, Shen Yuan returned the Crimson Scale Horse to the stable and then began feeding it.

The Red-scaled Horses of today are genuine spirit horses, and their diet is naturally different from that of the Fire-horse Horses of the past.

Following the feed ratio taught by the old ox, Shen Yuan added several pieces of spiritual herbs, a spoonful of warm jade powder, and even some large pieces of bone with flesh and blood to its feed.

Because each breed and age of a spirit horse is different, the food it eats will naturally be different as well.

The neighboring dragon horse likes to eat live food, especially sheep. It also often gnaws on specially made iron rods to grind its teeth and supplement its iron and metal content, making its teeth scales sharper and tougher.

On the other side, the Snow-Treading Spirit Steed prefers a type of black barbarian beef, but it needs to have some bone powder from demonic birds added to it. This helps increase its bloodline concentration, making it run faster and as swift as wind and thunder.

Seeing the red-scaled horse eating with relish, Shen Yuan nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

"This red-scaled horse has evenly distributed scales, strong muscles and bones, and a spirit as powerful as a dragon. Brother Shen has truly raised a fine horse!"

A gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Shen Yuan turned his head and saw that a young man had appeared behind him at some point.

This man had a face as handsome as jade, without the slightest flaw. His eyes were like morning stars, shining brightly. He was full of spirit as he looked around. He wore a long robe embroidered with gold brocade and a jade crown. He had a tall and well-proportioned figure and a noble air about him. He was an extremely handsome man.

"This kid is so handsome..." Shen Yuan cupped his hands and tentatively said, "You flatter me. May I ask who you are...?"

"My name is Hua Yulin."

The young man was polite and had a gentle smile: "I heard today that someone at the horse farm has raised a spirited horse, so I came to check it out out of curiosity. Please forgive my abruptness, Brother Shen."

The eldest son of the main branch, Hua Yulin… Shen Yuan was startled and quickly bowed, “No, no, it’s not you, Young Master Hua. I am Shen Yuan, paying my respects to the Young Master!”

"Hey... Brother Shen, please rise quickly."

Hua Yulin showed absolutely no arrogance befitting a scion of a high-ranking family. On the contrary, he was gentle and courteous, and with a light touch, he lifted Shen Yuan up.

"Brother Shen, there's no need for such formalities. Although our statuses are different, I greatly admire your horse-breeding skills. Moreover, you've only been in the manor for half a year, yet you've already achieved proficiency in martial arts; such talent is rare indeed."

"Brother Shen and I hit it off immediately. If you don't mind, you can consider me a friend."

"Young Master, you are of noble birth, while I am but a mere steward. What merit do I possess? This... is inappropriate, isn't it?"

Shen Yuan hesitated and repeatedly said he dared not.

However, he was greatly surprised!

He had previously witnessed his younger brother, Hua Yujie, run over and killed the old gardener with his horse, and had heard some stories about Hua Yujie's arrogant and domineering behavior. He had many speculations about these superior and arrogant young men from wealthy families.

She also had no goodwill towards his brother, Hua Yulin.

Hua Yulin is the eldest son of the main branch of the family, the natural heir to the title, and the future patriarch of the Hua clan. He possesses the Dragon Elephant Body and is a natural-born martial arts prodigy.

Logically speaking, such a person should be extremely respected within the Hua Rong Mansion, even surpassing Hua Qinglian.

However, Hua Yulin's current demeanor was gentle and polite, without the slightest hint of arrogance, which shattered Shen Yuan's preconceived notions.

Shen Yuan hadn't expected Hua Yulin to be this kind of person. On the contrary, his younger brother, Hua Yujie, was ruthless and twisted, disregarding human life. The two brothers were completely opposite types.

"A gentleman's friendship transcends social status."

Hua Yulin's eyes were bright and gentle, full of sincerity and earnestness: "Besides, with Brother Shen's talent, he will surely rise to prominence and achieve great success sooner or later."

"this......"

Seeing the other party's attitude, Shen Yuan was filled with trepidation: "Since the young master is so kind, then I must apologize for my rudeness."

"That's exactly right."

Hua Yulin smiled like a spring breeze, gentle and refined. Every move he made carried the aristocratic air of a high-ranking family, yet he was not aggressive. Even Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards him.

Hua Yulin looked at the red-scaled horse in the stable and said:

"To be honest, Brother Shen, I also have a spirit horse called the Black Blood Qilin Horse. It is said to have a trace of the bloodline of the Black Qilin divine beast. It was a gift from my uncle, who said it was a noble spirit horse captured from the far west. Now, after more than ten years of raising it, it is about to undergo a transformation. Although I am not a horse master, I can still discuss this with you, Brother Shen."

Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised: "Oh? The Black-Blooded Qilin Horse?"

There are many different kinds of horses in the world.

There's no need to elaborate on ordinary horses, whether they are nags or fine horses.

There are hundreds of breeds of spirit horses alone, and this number is not fixed, because when different breeds of horses interbreed, there is often a certain probability that new breeds of spirit horses will be born.

This black-blooded unicorn horse is the best of the best. It is robust, with a broad frame, covered in black scales and mane, and has bony horns on its head. Although it has a trace of the bloodline of the black unicorn, it is irritable and fierce, good at fighting, and can carry tens of thousands of kilograms of weight while running at full speed.

The adult Black Blood Qilin Horse is extremely powerful, with a body length of over two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters). It is a mobile fortress-like behemoth and has awakened the innate divine power of Black Blood Demon Fire. Even cultivators of the Purple Mansion and martial arts masters would have to give way to it.

In comparison, Shen Yuan's Crimson Scale Horse, Hua Mingfei's Flood Dragon Horse, and the Snow-Treading Spirit Steed are all inferior to it, making it a truly top-grade spirit breed.

Only when the Crimson Scale Horse transforms into the Golden Horned Spirit Steed can it be compared to it.

Such a spirited horse possesses wisdom no less than that of a human. If placed in a small family, it would be enough to become the family's guardian spirit beast, protecting the family for hundreds of years. It is not much inferior to a martial arts grandmaster or a Golden Core cultivator.

Judging from Hua Yulin's words, this spirit horse is also on the verge of transformation. If the transformation is successful, its bloodline will advance further, and it will become a true descendant of a divine beast, not far from becoming a dragon horse.

However, given Hua Yulin's status, it's not surprising that he would possess such a spirit horse.
