She stood there at a loss, asking blankly, "But if I don't tell it, how will he do as I say?"
"You've already done enough by saving his life," Mu Yijie said firmly.
"There's no need to expose those dirty things. It won't only make him wary of you but also make him want to get rid of you. After all, you know such a big secret of his." Seeing that the little girl was quite frightened, Mu Yijie patiently explained to her.
Yong Shanling seemed to be deep in thought. "Is it like when I do something bad and if others know about it, to prevent the master from finding out, I'll definitely find a way to make sure that person won't say anything?"
Mu Yijie nodded, showing an approving look as if saying the girl was teachable. There was still hope. He reached out and stroked her head.
After work, Mu Yijie first followed Yong Shanling back to the place where her master lived to take the Ranwei fish away, and then went to buy a dog for Yong Shanling.
Yong Shanling finally chose a red - brown Alaskan Malamute.
After getting home, Yong Shanling first settled her dog down and played with it for a long time. It was not until Mu Yijie reminded her that she still needed to refine pills for Huang Dahai that she reluctantly said goodbye to her Mumu.
Back in the room, just as Yong Shanling was about to kill the fish and start refining as she used to, she suddenly remembered the Book of All Beasts. Thinking of what she had obtained because of the Gudiao last time, she got extremely excited and quickly took it out.
This time when she opened it, she found a lot of things she didn't know before. The first page, which was blank before, now had a detailed introduction of the book.
It turned out that the Book of All Beasts was refined by an elder of the Beast - Taming Sect in ancient times. He summarized all the beasts he knew in his lifetime, along with their values, application methods, and strength introductions. Only after sacrificing the soul of a strange beast could one use it normally. Otherwise, one could only know some basic information. By accident, she had sacrificed the Gudiao last time and successfully activated this treasure.
Yong Shanling looked at this book as if it were a treasure. Oh my god, it was simply an inheritance about beasts and pills.
She clenched her fists excitedly and said to the book, "Senior, don't worry. I will surely carry forward this Book of All Beasts, earn spiritual stones well, and won't let down your painstaking efforts."
"Now, let me see what surprises the Ranwei fish has."
When Yong Shanling opened the book, she learned that the most important function of the Ranwei fish was not only to treat insomnia but also to be the medicinal material for refining a kind of Pure - Heart Pill.
As the name suggests, the Pure - Heart Pill could help cultivators get rid of distractions and prevent them from going crazy during cultivation.
If that were all, there was already the Peace - of - Mind Pill in the cultivation world. But its powerful feature was that it had no pill poison.
As for the beast - taming inheritance of the Beast - Taming Sect, since she, the activator, had no talent for taming beasts, she didn't obtain this inheritance.
Although Yong Shanling was a bit disappointed, she soon felt relieved when she thought of all the things she had already obtained.
"Just as the master said, one should be content and happy."
Thinking of her master, Yong Shanling couldn't stop the yearning in her heart. After thinking for a while, she sent a message to her master.
Master, I'm doing well at Mr. Mu's place. I've also dealt with many monsters. You'll surely be surprised when you see me next time. She also added a tongue - sticking emoji at the end.
Then she followed what was written in the book, removed several light - golden scales from the tail of the Ranwei fish, carefully ground them into powder, and mixed them with other medicinal materials to refine pills. Fortunately, she had been learning to refine this kind of pill from her master for a long time and had no problem with it.
She calmly failed to refine one furnace. The second and third furnaces were successful.
She picked up the bottle of pills with a beaming face. "I succeeded on the third furnace today. I'm so lucky!"
Seeing Mu Yijie passing by just then, Yong Shanling happily ran over with the bottle. "Uncle, I only blew up two furnaces today and then succeeded. It's the first time I've refined pills so quickly! Uncle, this bottle is for you. If you ever have trouble sleeping, just take one pill and you'll be okay."
Blew up! Two furnaces! Mu Yijie rubbed his forehead.
"Should I also do some good deeds?" Mu Yijie looked at the little girl playfully.
"Of course not, Uncle. You're already doing good deeds. You don't need me to tell you that," Yong Shanling retorted. The golden light of merit all over Uncle was no joke.
Hearing Yong Shanling's words, Mu Yijie inexplicably remembered that when they first met, she was very sure that he was a good person.
"I didn't encounter these monsters before. Why have I been meeting them one after another recently?" First the Ranwei fish, then the Gudiao, and finally the Monkey Flower.
Even if it wasn't him, it was the people around him. Thinking of this, Mu Yijie's eyes darkened.
Yong Shanling sensed something. After thinking for a while, she took out the Willow Spirit Boy, whispered a few words, and then responded in a low voice while sizing up Mu Yijie.
"Uncle, were you in poor health when you were a child and then gradually got better?" Yong Shanling tilted her head and looked at him, asking directly.
Huh, this sentence sounded so familiar. It seemed like she had heard it somewhere.
Mu Yijie stared at his hand expressionlessly, as if recalling something. "What if I was?"
Yong Shanling smiled. "If so, and you've only started encountering monsters recently, it means that someone protected you before, or there was some magic treasure protecting you, so you were always safe."
"Magic treasure..." Mu Yijie pondered for a moment and didn't say a word.
He slowly recalled the things of these years. Finally, he pressed on a bulge on his chest.
He took out something tied with a black thread from his clothes. It was a black jade pendant. One side was carved with an animal that looked like an ordinary crow but had three heads and six tails. The most eye - catching thing was that its mouth was grinning as if it was smiling. The other side was engraved with characters that were hard to understand.
This was something he had been wearing since childhood. His family had told him not to take it off, even when taking a bath.
Now, several cracks were spreading on this jade pendant. The face of that strange animal was exactly split in half, looking a bit painful.
Back in the room, he took out his computer and clicked a few times.
Qituo: On the Yiwang Mountain, there is a bird. It looks like a crow, with three heads and six tails, and is good at smiling. Its name is Qituo. Eating its meat can prevent people from having nightmares and can also ward off evil.
This was a strange beast. Eating its meat could prevent people from having nightmares and ward off evil spirits.
Thinking of the fact that he had never had a nightmare over the years and had always lived a smooth life.
He pursed his lips and then began to investigate the characters on the other side.
However, this time he searched for a long time but didn't find a picture exactly the same as his characters. All he could find were various talismans for exorcising demons and warding off evil spirits that were circulated on the Internet.
