"Master, this Dou Sheng ancient ruins feels so poor. All I can find here are Grade 7 medicinal pills, and I haven't even seen a single Eighth Grade Pill. Though there are quite a few Eighth Grade pill recipes."
Xiao Jietian held his little dragon girl tightly in his arms and gently comforted her.
It took quite a bit of sweet talk before Xiao Huiying finally calmed down.
"Master, why haven't I seen the good stuff you mentioned? Is it a Grade 9 medicinal pill? I heard that medicinal pills of that grade can transform and have extremely high intelligence. Could it be hiding?"
Xiao Huiying looked at Xiao Jietian with a longing expression, as if saying, Master, you must work hard to cultivate your alchemy skills; I'm counting on you.
"I've never seen a Grade 9 medicinal pill before, so I don't know what it tastes like."
"There are no Grade 9 medicinal pills here. Even a Grade 9 Treasure Pill is quite rare for a Dou Sheng expert," Xiao Jietian's tone shifted. "However, there is an existence here that is infinitely close to a Grade 9 medicinal pill, and it's even comparable to some Grade 9 Treasure Pills."
Xiao Jietian estimated that these medicinal pills had all been eaten by that transformed Grade 8 peak Pill Beast.
Just then, a white shadow suddenly flashed through the passage and darted into an alchemy room.
"Master, a demonic beast just ran past," Xiao Huiying also noticed.
"Let's go. We'll go and see." Xiao Jietian led Xiao Huiying directly into the alchemy room.
"What a cute little fellow," Xiao Huiying exclaimed as she entered, seeing the demonic beast standing on the table in the alchemy room.
It was a small beast covered in white fur, resembling a cat but exceptionally plump and round, looking very naive. However, there were no energy fluctuations within its body, making it seem like an ordinary small beast.
"Master, is this what you were talking about? It doesn't seem to have any combat power, does it?" Xiao Huiying scrutinized the plump little fellow. Besides being cute, it seemed only plump and round.
"Don't let this cute little fellow fool you; it's not a demonic beast. It's a Grade 8 medicinal pill that has undergone Nine-Colored Pill Lightning—an infinitely close to Grade 9 Transformation Pill."
Xiao Jietian smiled as he observed the white Pill Beast before him. As expected of a Grade 8 peak medicinal pill close to Grade 9; without reaching the Spirit Realm soul, one might not truly discern its identity.
"What? A Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Eighth Grade pill?" Xiao Huiying swallowed, her eyes curiously scanning the adorable little beast, which resembled a soft, fluffy cupcake, making her inexplicably want to take a bite.
"Master, it's so cute. It must be fated with the Eternal Heaven Palace. Let's catch it and see if it's the one we lost."
Xiao Jietian was momentarily stunned by Xiao Huiying's words, then he chuckled and said, "Alright!"
As if sensing something, the Pill Beast raised its head. Its eyes instantly bulged like a frog's as it stared at Xiao Jietian and Xiao Huiying.
"Little fellow, you dare to stare at me? Then I'll have to teach you a good lesson in physics." Xiao Jietian's Intermediate Half-Saint Qi burst forth, directly sealing the entire space. To be safe, he even unleashed World Loses Color.
"Pill Beast, you're too dangerous. You must come with me; I can't let you wreak havoc in the world. Come here!"
Xiao Jietian reached out his hand and grabbed at the small beast.
Meanwhile, Xiao Huiying also emitted her Qi, sealing the entire void realm.
The Pill Beast looked at the hand reaching for it, wanting to escape, but it quickly realized that no matter how it tried to move its body, it couldn't budge an inch. The small beast's expression became anxious.
Dead leg, why don't you move faster!!
Finally, the Pill Beast felt the suppression disappear, but then it felt its body being held, and its view elevated. It slightly raised its head, and suddenly a large face appeared in its vision.
Awooo awooo.
The Pill Beast's body shivered in fright, secretly exclaiming, My life is over!
Then it rolled its eyes, kicked its legs, and fainted.
"Oh my! Master, you're so mean! You almost scared it to death." Xiao Huiying looked at the little beast, which seemed to be broken. Sometimes she herself would often do the same—rolling her eyes, twitching all over, and then fainting.
"Its tolerance is too poor. It's not fun. I'll give it back to you." Xiao Jietian tossed the little beast to Xiao Huiying.
"Hehe." Xiao Huiying took the Pill Beast and examined it. "Huh, Master, this Pill Beast is actually female. Do you want to raise her?"
Slap!
Xiao Jietian was instantly choked by Xiao Huiying's words and slapped her head impatiently. "Am I that kind of pervert?"
"You say you aren't, but isn't Sister Xun'er, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and even me all raised by you?" Xiao Huiying mumbled softly.
"Cough cough." Xiao Jietian coughed lightly, feeling a bit awkward. What's wrong with liking to raise others? If he hadn't transmigrated too late, he would have raised Yun Yun and the others too.
But he had no interest in this transformed medicinal pill beast; he couldn't do such a depraved thing.
"Hahahaha." Xiao Huiying couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Xiao Jietian's expression.
After a bit of playful banter, Xiao Jietian led Xiao Huiying downstairs. Along the way, Xiao Jietian didn't forget to leave some chilling Qi in various corners.
"Master, you're so naughty. I love it so much," Xiao Huiying, holding the still-unconscious little beast, watched Xiao Jietian's actions and instantly understood his plan, as he had done this before.
Then the two slowly disappeared from their original spot…
…
Ancient Ruins, behind a certain large door.
Several powerful figures stood before a massive deep pit.
Leading them was an old man in black robes, followed by a white-haired man and a woman in a seven-colored skirt.
The woman was Feng Qing'er, once the Thunder Venerable's head disciple.
Before the Wind and Thunder Pavilion moved against Boundless Heaven Hall, she had tried to persuade Thunder Venerable, but after her persuasion was fruitless, she could only choose to abandon him and return to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
Since Feng Qing'er was acting with them, it was clear that everyone here belonged to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and its affiliated forces.
Among them, there were multiple Dou Zuns alone.
However, at this moment, they all looked at the huge deep pit before them in astonishment.
"This stone gate is made so big just to dig a pit and then build a large swimming pool?" Feng Qing'er looked around, her forehead full of question marks. "Don't Dou Sheng experts race against time to cultivate? Could this be a Dou Sheng who enjoys luxury?"
"No, this should be a place for planting medicinal herbs. It's just that someone got here first and, unable to harvest in time, chose to take the entire plot of land…" The black-robed old man waved his hand, and from a hidden corner of the deep pit, a wisp of Qi was drawn toward him.
