Encounter

Passing the first examination test did not guarantee that a candidate would be admitted to the sect. They had to pass another test that tested their mental strength and willpower.

However, Quan Feng, had lost interest in finding a disciple as no candidate was talented enough. It was only a waste of his time. He decided to leave the mountain and go to Xuanwu City to gather some ingredients. "Elder Li, I am leaving to Xuanwu City to get some ingredients."

"What? You are leaving already?" Elder Li raised his eyebrows in surprise. Didn't Quan Feng just arrive a few minutes ago?

Earlier, Quan Feng was passionately observing the sea of candidates. But now, he had lost all interest. "The candidates aren't very promising this year."

"Very well. May you have a safe journey then..." Elder Li replied, left speechless. How could he know when not even 10% of the candidates had taken the first test?

"Thank you."

As Quan Feng soared away on his sword, Elder Li thought, 'As I suspected, Elder Quan is behaving strangely today. I shall report this to the sect master...'

During his seclusion, Quan Feng was not always cultivating; he also had an interest in array formation.

While his body rested, he spent his time learning how to make arrays.

As a result, his personal mountain was the only one that had many defensive array formations protecting his base.

It made it difficult for anyone to infiltrate his place without his consent. It would not be an exaggeration to say that even Nascent Soul cultivators would have a hard time passing through his defensive formations.

There are some specific ingredients that can be used to enhance array formations, which is why Quan Feng decided to make a trip to Xuanwu City.

While he was flying on his sword, Quan Feng stopped in mid-air as he saw something below that caught his attention.

In the middle of the forest, a young man could be seen glaring a tiny white fluffy dog in anger. "You f*cking piece of sh*t. How dare you swallow my Body-Purifying Pill when I wasn't paying attention?!"

The young man continued, "Do you know how much it cost me to get it?! Today, if I don't kill you, I am not called Liu Feng!"

Liu Feng was a sect member of the Burning Sky Sect. At the age of 18, he was considered a genius with his fifth stage Foundation Establishment Realm. But even for someone like him, it was not easy to get the rank-2 Body-Purifying Pill. It cost a f*cking 50,000 Gold!

The amount of gold that the Burning Sky Sect gave him each month was 4,000 gold, which was already high, considering that 1,000 gold was enough for a commoner's family to survive for two months!

Unfortunately, his year's savings burnt to ashes after that stupid dog swallowed his pill away while he wasn't paying attention!

Just before his kick hit the dog, Liu Feng felt an immense pressure upon him, forcing him to kneel on the ground. The other party's cultivation was way above his!

A few seconds later, as the pressure diminished a little bit, he raised his head to look at the newcomer. But when his eyes met the other party's face, he was dumbfounded to see a young handsome man that was around his age. 'How is his cultivation so high when we are about the same age?!'

Quan Feng gazed at the man and demanded, "Why did you try to harm the dog?"

Liu Feng glared at the tiny dog, recounting the tale in hopes that the young master would understand and let him punish the dog.

"I will take the dog as my pet, so I won't allow you to harm him."

However, Liu Feng's hope was crushed by Quan Feng's reply. Didn't the young man hear the story? Wans't he afraid of the dog eating away his precious stuff? Liu Feng felt like heaven was unfair. Why was a dog's luck better than him?

"But don't worry. I will compensate you. Here, take this. It should be enough, right?" Quan Feng said as he retrieved a pill from his spatial ring.

Upon seeing the pill, Liu Feng's eyes widened in astonishment, he beamed with gratitude, and bowed. "Thank you, senior! I'll repay this favor in the future!".

It was a rank-4 Body-Purifying Pill, far superior to any he had encountered!

His original pill would be trash compared to the one in front of him!

Liu Feng felt indebted to the dog for enabling him to acquire such a valuable pill for free.

After expressing his gratitude, Liu Feng bowed and departed with a cheerful expression.

When the two were alone, Quan Feng glanced at the tiny dog with an indifferent expression, but the animal gazed back at him, wagging its tail.

Quan Feng stated, "You can't conceal your true nature from me. I know you can understand my words. You're a divine dog."

Without his system, Quan Feng would have been oblivious to the dog's identity, disregarding it. The animal before him was a divine beast with consciousness and intellect that equaled humans. Moreover, the dog was enveloped in a green aura!

This indicated that he could take it as his disciple!

If not for the voice of the furious man from the Burning Sky Sect that caught his attention, he would never have noticed the green aura around the dog.

Suddenly, Quan Feng sensed a killing intent directed at him. The divine dog lunged at him, its paw poised to strike!
