Crunch!
After leaving the auction house, Ye Feng casually ate a Clear Profound Pill. Since it removed impurities from the body, eating it definitely wouldn't cause harm. Anyway, it was a Prodigal Item, might as well treat it as Snacks.
Hm?
Just then, Ye Feng suddenly saw a small stray puppy lying on the side of the street, on the verge of death, looking at him pitifully. Sighing helplessly, he walked directly towards the puppy.
"Doggy, I just pinched my fingers and calculated, and discovered that we, human and dog, are fated to meet. From now on, you'll follow me."
Finished speaking, Ye Feng bought some Steamed Buns from a nearby Stall.
"Eat up, eat more."
Watching the Little Yellow Dog wolfing down the food, Ye Feng thought inwardly: "I wonder if the people of this world will collapse one day when they realize their lives aren't even as good as a dog's."
That's right. Ye Feng had just thought, how tiring it was to eat pills himself. Even if he called Junior Brother Wufeng, beautiful Master, and the laborer Elder Bai, wanting to eat all ten thousand Clear Profound Pills, their Jaws would probably go on strike before long.
... ...
But now it was fine. With the Little Yellow Dog, ten thousand pills were nothing. Even if future Prodigal Items included pills again, there would be no need to worry.
After eating its fill, the Little Yellow Dog continuously Nuzzled[1] Ye Feng's trouser leg, appearing extremely affectionate.
"Let's go, I'll take you for a bath, then you can start working for this Daddy."
Ye Feng laughed heartily and led the Little Yellow Dog towards a nearby Restaurant.
"Young Master, your dog cannot be brought into the restaurant."
A Waiter saw Ye Feng walking in with the filthy Little Yellow Dog and quickly came forward, Smiling apologetically as he tried to dissuade him.
"How many Spirit Stones? Name your price. Get me a High-class Room. I want to give my doggy a bath."
Ye Feng said directly, completely unconcerned.
In the end, Ye Feng spent ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones to get a High-class Room at the restaurant and successfully brought the Little Yellow Dog inside.
Inside the guest room.
Ye Feng looked at the Little Yellow Dog Frolicking[2] in the Large Bathtub with a helpless expression. He had spent ten times the price to get the room, yet the System didn't judge it as a prodigal act.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get clean. After you're done, get to work for this Daddy. If it weren't for you, I would have definitely pocketed another hundred Prodigal Points this time."
Looking at the Little Yellow Dog, which completely ignored him, Ye Feng felt that he absolutely needed to get something to awaken its Spiritual Wisdom in the future; otherwise, this dog was too damn Stupid.
Ten minutes later, looking at the freshly bathed Little Yellow Dog, Ye Feng directly took out a handful of Clear Profound Pills and threw them on the floor.
"A stupid dog is a stupid dog. Doesn't even care if this stuff is poison."
Watching the Little Yellow Dog gobbling down the pills, the only thing Ye Feng was satisfied with was finding a free Laborer dog.
Traces of impurities were continuously Purified from the Little Yellow Dog's body by the pills' medicinal power.
As the Little Yellow Dog ate more and more Clear Profound Pills, its body became increasingly Pure. Towards the end, strands of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi even began to spontaneously merge into the Little Yellow Dog's body.
This situation had likely never occurred in the entire Xuan Tian Continent[3].
After all, not everyone could possess Nine-Patterned Clear Profound Pills, even if they were only Third Grade. Furthermore, no prodigal son would feed such precious Nine-Patterned Clear Profound Pills by the hundreds or thousands to an ordinary little yellow dog!
One hour later.
"Hey!"
"Doggy, wake up and keep eating! You're slacking off after only eating just over two thousand?"
Looking at the Little Yellow Dog, which had directly flopped onto the ground and fallen fast asleep, Ye Feng was furious. It had only eaten a little over two thousand!
Moreover, he noticed that before the Little Yellow Dog fell asleep, it had looked at the handful of Clear Profound Pills before it with a human-like expression of disdain, as if it had eaten enough and looked down upon them.
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to wander around anymore. The dog's asleep, I'll go sleep too. Being a prodigal magnate is really tiring."
Ye Feng glanced at the sleeping Little Yellow Dog, lay down directly on the comfortable bed, and also fell asleep. If he wasn't sleeping, he really didn't know what else to do. He didn't want to go out deliberately looking for places to be prodigal; that was too stupid. He wanted to do as he pleased.
As a cultivator, not sleeping for several days and nights or sleeping for several days and nights straight wasn't an issue. Ye Feng was currently very glad he was a powerful expert at the Peak of the ninth level Qi Movement Realm; at least he could sleep whenever he wanted.
Because Ye Feng had no Spirit Root and couldn't perceive the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, he had no idea that while the Little Yellow Dog slept soundly, the surrounding Spiritual Qi was continuously and slowly entering its body.
At this moment, the Little Yellow Dog was evolving from an ordinary Wild Beast towards a Yao Beast[4]. Without relying on any external Bloodline, it was evolving towards becoming a Yao Beast solely based on its own potential. Without a powerful Yao Beast Bloodline, its future Upper Limit would depend on Ye Feng.
...
While Ye Feng was sleeping like the dead, the auction held by the Sky Domain Auction House had already begun.
"You two kids are really lucky."
"I didn't expect that bringing you here this time to buy some Spirit Grass for regular alchemy practice, we'd actually encounter never-before-seen Nine-Patterned Clear Profound Pills."
"These two Third Grade Nine-Patterned Clear Profound Pills will be greatly beneficial to both of you. No matter the cost today, Master will bid for them for you."
In a Private Room on the second floor, Luo Qianxue spoke calmly, but Leng Wufeng beside her was extremely grateful. He was also extremely glad his strength was precisely at the Peak of the ninth level Spirit Fusing Realm; once he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would truly have no fate with these Third Grade Nine-Patterned Clear Profound Pills.
Clearing impurities from the body was tantamount to reforging one's Foundation, extremely important for cultivators. However, there weren't many Alchemists capable of refining Clear Profound Pills. It wasn't due to a lack of Pill Formulas, but because the refining process required attention to far too many details. If it couldn't reach Five Patterns, the effect of consuming it was basically negligible.
Inside a Teahouse.
"Old Xia, I finally came for a visit, and you end up being out all morning."
Seeing his old friend return, Elder Bai couldn't help but laugh and scold him.
"Old Bai, let me tell you, just now at the auction house Branch here in Purple Phoenix City, they received two special pills."
"Third Grade Clear Profound Pills, can you guess how many patterns?"
Xia Tianyu, dressed in a white Alchemist Robe, looked at Bai Tianhong mysteriously.
"Clear Profound Pills?"
"For you to fuss about all morning, they must probably be above Seven Patterns."
"Were they refined by those old fellows?"
Bai Tianhong pondered for a moment after hearing this and stated his guess.
"Nine Patterns!"
"And there are two of them!"
"I don't know who refined them, but a young man delivered them to the auction house for sale."
"I personally inspected them. Those two Clear Profound Pills are practically perfect, extremely close to the ideal Ten-Patterned Pill."
Speaking of this, Xia Tianyu couldn't help but reveal a look of amazement. He was also a Ninth Grade Alchemist, and he truly wanted to witness the miraculous skill of the person who refined these pills.
Hm?
Hearing Xia Tianyu's words, for some reason, Bai Tianhong's mind suddenly conjured the image of Ye Feng.
