Unbeknownst to the two, the moment they left the sect, Lou Xuanzhi had already spotted them and, out of concern, was watching them through the Reincarnation Mirror.
Looking at his two eccentric disciples, Lou Xuanzhi couldn't help but chuckle.
Did he not know what he was giving away?
It's just a mere fire essence stone, but why is this kid only discovering it now?
Lou Xuanzhi was a little puzzled. It seemed that this thing was a birthday gift that the boy gave him the year after he became his disciple.
I still remember this kid was only four or five years old back then, and now he's already scheming against his master, tsk tsk~
Lou Xuanzhi put away the precious mirror and sighed.
"Never mind, as long as the kids are happy."
The Fire Essence Stone Mine on the map is located in a valley that is shrouded in miasma year-round, inhabited by many snakes, insects, rats, and ants, all of which are highly poisonous.
It is called Death Valley.
It was a place that was never mentioned in the original work. Before entering the valley, Qiyue had made many plans and inquired about many things. She only heard that it used to be a place where a Gu poison master refined witchcraft.
Therefore, for many years no one has sought to die by entering it.
"I wonder if this pill will work..." Qi Yue looked at the valley shrouded in purple miasma and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
He stopped Yun Huai and grabbed a rabbit that had poked its head out from the side.
He stuffed the pill into the rabbit's mouth.
The rabbit, which had been forced to eat the pill, seemed to have some intelligence. It immediately began to struggle violently and even tried to bite Qiyue. Qiyue grabbed its neck and spoke in a cold voice.
"I never expected you to have intelligence."
Upon hearing this, the rabbit stopped pretending and stared at Qiyue with a pitiful expression, clasping its two furry little hands together and repeatedly bowing to Qiyue, begging for mercy.
If it were an ordinary rabbit, it would simply die, but this rabbit had gained sentience. Qiyue couldn't bear to let it go. After much hesitation, she turned her head away and finally placed it on the ground.
"Alright, I'll let you off this time. Just be careful in the future, and don't get caught again. Not everyone is as kind as me."
The rabbit tilted its head and looked at her, and she roared fiercely, "Get lost!"
The rabbit then gave her a long look before running away.
Watching the little creature hopping around, Qiyue licked her lips: "Senior brother, I suddenly want to eat spicy rabbit head."
"???" Yun Huai's expression froze slightly, and he hesitated for a moment: "Let me help you catch it again?"
"No need for that. I remember that Hengyang Sect seems to raise some spirit rabbits."
Rejecting Yun Huai's suggestion, Qi Yue blinked, counted on her fingers for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, it's been quite a while since we last went to Hengyang Sect to purchase goods. I imagine those spirit rabbits should have grown quite a bit by now."
"Tsk, it's been so long, I've missed you terribly. I'll go tonight, that's a happy decision!" Touching her chin, Qiyue felt very pleased with her decision.
Yun Huai was completely dumbfounded.
You call that missing someone? Tsk tsk tsk, that's something else...
Without the rabbit, there was still the groundhog. Qiyue managed to catch a little creature and make it eat the antidote pill refined by Yun Huai, then threw it in.
But in less than ten steps, the little thing turned into blood.
Qiyue choked up, exchanged a glance with Yun Huai, and their expressions were both somewhat solemn.
"Could it be because that groundhog has no cultivation level, so..."
"Won't."
"Won't."
A voice rang out at the same time as Qiyue's voice. Quanyin emerged from his spatial ring, glanced at the two of them, and said, "It's a good thing you two were careful and didn't go in just now, otherwise you would be the ones with no remains by now."
"You know?" Qi Yue and Yun Huai's eyes lit up slightly.
Seeing this, the dog put his hands on his hips and said with great pride and arrogance, "That's right! There's nothing in this world that I don't know."
"Oh, then tell me when my master will ascend to heaven, when Xia Wanqing of Hengyang Sect will die, and what I need to do tomorrow?" Qiyue crossed her arms and quietly looked at Quanyin.
Yun Huai chuckled to himself.
The dog was initially bewildered, then furious: "How could you be like this?"
Qiyue looked completely innocent: "You said you knew everything! Why are you blaming me now?"
The dog looked immediately embarrassed, as if it were the one who said it, but...
"I don't care, you can't live like that."
"I'm not human," Qiyue shrugged and pouted.
The dog felt like he was going to be driven crazy by this woman. He patted his chest and tried to calm himself down, saying, "I'm not angry, I'm not angry. Getting angry will only make you sick, and no one can take your place. Taking a step back will open up a vast sky, and enduring a moment will bring peace..."
"Take a step back and you'll experience endocrine imbalance; endure it and you'll develop breast hyperplasia," July added sarcastically.
The dog choked, looking at Qiyue's shameless behavior. It suddenly felt that its future was bleak, and the outside world wasn't so great after all. Freedom didn't seem so important anymore...
"Junior sister, don't make it angry. Otherwise, it will get angry and not tell us anything. What will we do then?" Yun Huai looked at Quan Yin's lifeless appearance and leaned close to Qi Yue, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
July thought so too.
She took out a piece of meat and gave it to the dog, saying gently, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Here, I apologize."
The dog's eyes lit up, and it quickly grabbed the meat, holding it in its arms like a treasure. It was clearly eating with relish and had already forgiven Qiyue in its heart, but it still said arrogantly.
"Hmph, don't think you can buy me off like that. I haven't forgiven you yet."
July smiled.
He patted its head and said, "Okay, whatever you say. Tell me, what's going on here?"
Upon hearing this, Quan Yin said seriously, "If it were a hundred years earlier, perhaps we could have gotten in, but now, tsk, no, at least neither of you can, but..."
It seemed to want to say something but then stopped, leaving Qiyue and Yunhuai in suspense.
"But what?"
"I want more meat." It smacked its lips, seemingly still wanting more.
Qiyue wasn't stingy at all; it was just a piece of meat, and she gave it three pieces right then and there.
It was delighted and said, "However, it's not without its problems. If you can refine a Heavenly Rank 10 Poison-Repelling Pill, then you'll be able to walk on flat ground."
July did not speak.
Yun Huai was shocked: "Ten stripes!?"
He then smiled wryly: "Let alone ten Heavenly Rank patterns, even nine Earthly Rank patterns are already treasures. Ten patterns are simply unheard of."
"What's the rush?" Quan Yin glared at him and said, "Isn't your so-called master the true successor of the ancient Xunhui Sect? Ten million years ago, let alone the tenth Heavenly Rank, even the tenth Spirit Rank was as common as eating and drinking for ordinary people."
"..." Yun Huai was dumbfounded.
July frowned deeply.
Is this the mystery the author of "Dog" was referring to?
