Xile panted, his tongue lolling out, and rubbed against Qin Fang’s leg.
Then Qin Fang took out the Stone Milk. After thinking for a mont, he decided not to use Xile to test for poison...
He stood up, told Xile to watch the house, and went to the market. After looking around for a bit, he ca back carrying a live rabbit.
Then he opened the bottle containing the mysterious liquid.
A fresh scent imdiately wafted out from it.
Xile’s eyes instantly lit up. He stared intently at Qin Fang, pacing back and forth in front of him, his tail wagging so hard it looked like it would break off.
Qin Fang used a wooden spoon to catch a tiny bit of the liquid as he poured it out. The fresh fragrance in the air grew even stronger.
Even Qin Fang couldn’t help but swallow.
Then he grabbed the rabbit by the head, intending to pour the liquid down its throat.
Xile saw this and instantly grew anxious, barking once at Qin Fang.
Qin Fang froze, looking at Xile. Seeing the dog’s expression, he paused for a mont, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "You want to eat it?"
Xile’s eyes imdiately lit up. He panted, tongue out, looking so eager that drool was about to drip from his mouth.
But Qin Fang thought for a mont, then shook his head. "Let’s have it try first, to see if it’s poisonous..."
He’d grown attached to Xile and naturally couldn’t bear to let him test for poison anymore.
So he once again prepared to force-feed the rabbit.
Xile understood Qin Fang’s intentions and grew frantic. Seeing the liquid about to drip into the rabbit’s mouth, he threw caution to the wind. He leaped into the air and, in the very instant the drop fell, shot out his long tongue, curled it, and lapped the liquid into his mouth.
Qin Fang was dumbfounded.
He looked at Xile, who had swallowed it in one gulp. The dog licked his nose and mouth a few tis, then panted happily at Qin Fang again, his tongue lolling out.
Qin Fang: "..."
’Well, now this little rascal has a mind of his own.’
He let go of the rabbit.
’This stuff is so precious, right? I bought the rabbit just to test for poison. Now that Xile has already tested it, what’s the point of giving it to the rabbit?’
"Go on and eat it, then. Don’t bla if you get sick," Qin Fang grumbled.
Xile: "Ha, ha, ha..."
That’s what he said, but now that Xile had eaten it, what else could he do? Qin Fang could only observe for the ti being.
’...Then again, logically speaking, the probability of it being poisonous isn’t high.’
’The test was just a sign of his extre caution.’
Putting the Porcelain Bottle away, Qin Fang began his daily training...
He observed for two consecutive days.
Qin Fang’s expression changed slightly.
Because... Xile’s size had clearly started to increase!
It had only been two days, and the dog had grown at least three or four centiters!
The change was astonishing.
He was only able to notice it thanks to his incredible perception. With his five senses enhanced, many subtle changes couldn’t escape his awareness.
On top of that, Xile’s physical abilities were also clearly improving.
Once, Qin Fang unintentionally saw Xile chasing a butterfly in the yard. The dog leaped four or five ters into the air from a standstill, knocked the butterfly out of the sky, and lapped it into his mouth to chew...
’...It fucking jumped onto the roof from a standstill!’
’Is this fucking thing still a dog?’
Qin Fang sucked in a sharp breath...
’This stuff... its effects are this dramatic?!’
Then he started to feel conflicted...
’The dog ate this stuff and imdiately grew so much taller.’
’If I eat it... I won’t keep growing taller too, will I?’
His expression was conflicted.
’It’d be a fucking pain if I turn into a giant.’
’It would be inconvenient to do anything...’
’...He was quite satisfied with his current body type.’
’He wasn’t excessively tall, but just enough to stand out in a crowd.’
’But any taller... and he’d be too conspicuous.’
But aside from the growth in size, everything else was fine; there were no signs of poison.
Qin Fang hesitated for two days before finally gritting his teeth and deciding to try it.
That night, before his Inner Refining, he poured out a single drop, took a deep breath, and put it in his mouth.
A fresh taste imdiately filled his mouth.
The liquid was viscous, but it felt cool as it entered his mouth, like eating ice cream. The next mont, he swallowed it.
Then, Qin Fang closed his eyes and began his Inner Refining.
At first, everything felt normal.
But after just a short while, Qin Fang felt a sensation like a raging fire begin to spread from his abdon.
It spread rapidly!
In the blink of an eye, the feeling had astonishingly spread through his entire body!
’...It was as if even his Bone Marrow was starting to steam!’
’...Bone Marrow?!’
When he realized this, Qin Fang was aghast!
’Isn’t this sothing that can only be trained after reaching the Huajin realm?!’
’How is it that now...’
Though his mind was filled with questions, he imdiately began to use his Anjin in coordination, starting to vibrate and stimulate his internal organs... and his bones!
Qin Fang was soaking his entire body in the dicinal bath. At a certain mont, the entire surface of the water began to tremble.
The frequency grew faster and faster!
In a daze, Qin Fang felt as if his entire being had transford into a raging fire, as if he were about to lt.
But the sensation wasn’t unpleasant... On the contrary, it was indescribably comfortable!
He closed his eyes, completely imrsed in the feeling.
His Anjin surged, stimulating his body. If he were capable of Introspection, he would see waves of soft, white light, like a liquid, being driven by the Anjin to rge with his organs, bones, muscles, and skin.
If he could see with even greater detail, he would discover that the hidden injuries caused by his recent Outer Refining were, at this very mont, actually healing!
The extrely fine cracks that had been on his ribs vanished in the white light, nding and finally fusing into a solid piece...
His organs, bones, muscles, skin...
The strength and density of his entire body were climbing madly!
In what felt like the blink of an eye, more than four hours had passed.
