Long Qilin chewed them up and said suspiciously: "The flavor's a bit off. Not very tasty.
.
. " Shen Mu explained: "The poison damaged the nerves that govern your sense of taste and smell, so things will taste a little different from before.
" "Cult Master, give me the pills and I'll eat them once my taste comes back. " Shen Mu handed over the Crimson Fire Spirit Pills he had refined.
Long Qilin hid them in Xiangzi and said weakly: "I'm still hungry.
I'd like to try the Fire-Phase Divine Essence Pill. Maybe it won't be so hard to swallow now. " Shen Mu took out the herbs he had just prepared and refined a furnace of Fire-Phase Divine Essence Pills. Long Qilin tasted two and said suspiciously: "The flavor seems a bit better.
Not so hard to eat. Cult Master, could you refine two more furnaces? " Shen Mu finally exploded: "Eat that much and you'll burst! Look how fat you are now — Xiangzi can barely carry you!
" Long Qilin wore the look of one who has lost all will to live, and said listlessly: "I've been poisoned. Who knows whether I'll ever taste a Crimson Fire Spirit Pill again.
Pity me — my mother left early, and the Patriarch is gone too. . .
" Shen Mu's heart softened.
He refined two more furnaces and handed them over, and only then did Long Qilin stop muttering. Shen Mu stole a glance and saw that this fellow had not eaten many pills at all; he had quietly opened a crack in Xiangzi and stuffed the extra pills inside for storage. "What has this Fat Dragon been through while I was away?
" Shen Mu wondered inwardly. Long Qilin settled down again, lying quietly on Xiangzi.
He took out a book, licked a brush, gripped it in his claws, and carefully wrote something. Shen Mu leaned in to look. Long Qilin hastily shielded it.
Shen Mu smiled with relief: "So Fat Dragon has learned to apply himself. Ling'er, you should learn from Fat Dragon too. " Snow Fox was hugging her own tail and licking her fur with her tongue.
Hearing this, she said earnestly: "These days I've been reading and writing with Grandpa Deaf the whole time, and Grandpa Deaf praises me, saying my learning has improved a great deal. " The Black Tiger God jumped onto Xiangzi and leaned in to see what Long Qilin was writing. Long Qilin did not dare be careless and let him sit between his forepaws. The Black Tiger God gazed at it and then chuckled: "This is useful too?
" "Of course it's useful!
" Long Qilin looked earnest: "I've now basically mastered the art of rearing. .
.
mm, of managing people. In the future my cultivation method will surely shine brilliantly! " The Black Tiger God shook his head: "You use your little schemes too much, and not on the proper path.
Take these Crimson Fire Spirit Pills and Fire-Phase Divine Essence Pills — there's no need at all to eat them. Cultivate your own method and forge your own divine powers; that's more useful than anything! " "Has Brother Tiger ever eaten a spirit pill? " Long Qilin asked.
The Black Tiger God shook his head: "My lord says that cultivation you earn yourself is the only true cultivation.
He has never given me any spirit pill to eat. " Long Qilin took out a Fire-Phase Divine Essence Pill: "Try this one.
" The Black Tiger God swallowed it and said in surprise: "It tastes this good?
Far better than food! " Long Qilin sneered: "Crimson Fire Spirit Pills taste even better!
Try one of those too! " The Black Tiger God ate a Crimson Fire Spirit Pill, and body and mind alike were shaken; tears came to his eyes unbidden.
Long Qilin sneered: "Now you see the benefit, don't you?
