Lu Li was surprised that he would chat with a person—or rather, a rat—all night long. He was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.

"Junior Sister, let's go find Master."

"Okay, let's go." Upon hearing this, Shushu jumped onto Lu Li's shoulder without hesitation, and even grabbed a few strands of Lu Li's hair, holding them in her arms. She then looked at Lu Li and urged him to set off.

Seeing how skilled she was, Lu Li smiled and chuckled before leading her out of the cave. Before leaving, he didn't forget to put a defensive barrier on Shushu.

Soon, the man and the rat arrived at the sect leader's hall at the summit, where Liu Yu and Liu Ying were already waiting, watching them enter with leisure.

"Greetings, Master and Mistress."

"Shushu greets Master and Mistress. Good morning, Master and Mistress."

Lu Li pretended not to see the mischievousness and surprise in his master's wife's eyes, and calmly and naturally bowed to them. His face showed no panic or fatigue. Shushu did the same.

Whether it's a phoenix or a treasure-hunting rat, they are both mythical beasts and don't need to work at sunrise and rest at sunset like humans. For them, not sleeping for one night is no big deal.

"Sit down." Liu Yu was more composed and calm than Liu Ying. Seeing them come in like this, he didn't think anything was wrong and directly gestured for them to sit down.

"I called you here to talk about the situation with millet and potatoes," Liu Yu said after the two men sat down.

After spending the last few days with him, he noticed that the millet seemed not to have received any inherited memories.

Normally, mythical beasts are born with inherited memories that teach them how to cultivate. But Shushu's situation is really giving him a headache.

After returning yesterday, he spent the whole night reading books and searching for information in the library, but he couldn't find any information on how to raise the little treasure-hunting mouse.

He had never taken on such a special disciple before, nor had he ever raised a treasure-hunting rat, so Liu Yu was not sure how to teach her.

The reason they called her and Lu Li together was to ask Lu Li if he had any suggestions.

As his master, he naturally knew about Lu Li's original form. He was the one who saved Lu Li when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

He thought that since they were both divine beasts, Lu Li should have a way to deal with the treasure-hunting rat, which was slightly weaker than him.

"Master, I do have a solution."

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Yu and Lu Li explained the situation with the millet and potatoes, he indicated that he had a solution.

"What's the solution?" Now, not only Liu Yu and Liu Ying were looking at him, but even Shu Shu was staring at him expectantly.

The original book also mentions that millet and potatoes do not pass on memories.

In the book, the millet was severely damaged because it was forced to pass through the void while still in the egg, and it was unable to properly activate its inherited memories after hatching.

Later, when Wen Jianxi stuffed her into a space, she was accidentally taken away from the Yulin Continent and went to a more advanced continent.

He was forced by Wen Jianxi to search for treasure in a dangerous place, and only after surviving a near-death experience did he activate his inherited memories and begin cultivating.

Before this, it relied solely on its innate senses as a treasure-hunting rat to detect treasures and help Wen Jianxi find them. However, because it had no cultivation, it always ended up getting injured.

She knew this from the beginning, so even when she became an apprentice, she was prepared for the possibility that she might never be able to cultivate.

Yesterday, with Lu Li's help, she was able to open her inner space and retrieve the items inside. Now she has a place to hide things, which makes her very happy.

Unexpectedly, Lu Li actually had a way to help her repair her body and complete her inherited memories.

"Refine it with my Phoenix Fire." Lu Li paused for a moment when he saw the longing look in Shushu's eyes before saying it, and then he added.

"Refining with phoenix fire, that's a good idea."

Before Shushu could react after Lu Li finished speaking, Liu Yu spoke first.

Phoenix Fire is one of the Ten Divine Fires, capable of burning all things in the world. Of course, it can also be used to temper the body, but the power of Phoenix Fire is not something ordinary people can withstand.

"Could millet withstand the power of the phoenix fire?" Clearly, Firefly had also thought of this, and she asked with concern in her eyes.

Shushu was still a newborn cub, very vulnerable, and she worried that she wouldn't be able to withstand the power of the phoenix fire.

Liu Ying's words made Liu Yu stop his decision, which was about to be made.

"Master, Mistress, Eldest Brother, I can do it, I want to try."

While they were hesitating, Shushu spoke up first, saying she wanted to give it a try and she would persevere.

With Wen Jianxi, the lurking mastermind behind the scenes, watching her closely, she couldn't let herself become the one who held her back. She had to cultivate!

“Since Junior Sister wants to try, let’s give it a shot. This is a prescription for strengthening the body. It can help Junior Sister improve her physique before refining, which will increase the chances of success. Some of the herbs marked on it are ones that I’m lacking. I wonder if Master and Mistress have them?”

When Lu Li saw that Shushu had agreed, the color in his eyes deepened. As expected of his junior sister, she had courage and determination.

However, he couldn't just let the little guy temper his body with phoenix fire without any preparation.

This is the junior sister he finally took a liking to, so he'll have to protect her a lot.

The reason I didn't bring it out before was simply to see my junior sister's character, or rather, to see if she had the courage to do so.

If she is unwilling, he will naturally not force her, but he may feel disappointed.

Fortunately, although the junior sister seems a bit silly and somewhat naive, she is very courageous and determined when it comes to cultivation.
