"Doggy, are you unhappy?" While sorting through the things in the ring, Qin Yi found Black Fur Ball lying there like a dead dog.

"Of course I'm unhappy. I want to eat everything, but I can't eat any of it..."

Qin Yi reacted exactly like Liusu: "These things are very important. If you dare to eat them carelessly, I'll pluck your feathers!"

Taotie: "..."

Glancing over, Liusu, who had been expressionless and resting with her eyes closed, suddenly smiled.

They're a match made in heaven! No wonder these two can get along so well. I initially thought they were quite different in personality, but now it seems they're actually the same at heart...

Taotie was speechless. "Everyone else knows to give a slap and then a sweet treat, but you guys just won't let me do this or that."

"What are you saying, as if we didn't feed you?" Qin Yi said, "How many Huiyang sects have you eaten? Count them yourself! Such a large sect, you've devoured it clean, buildings and treasure vaults, and you're still not satisfied?"

"Nothing special, nothing interesting..."

"You're like someone who's had their fill and now craves more. After eating rice, you want meat, and after eating meat, you want dragon liver and phoenix marrow."

"Isn't this normal? I am a glutton, endless greed is my soul, I'm not a real dog!"

"That makes a lot of sense..." Qin Yi was speechless. He stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and snapped his fingers, "There's a place that would be perfect for you."

"Um?"

Qin Yi picked up the Black Fur Ball and headed straight for the Eating Sect.

The most impressive thing about the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is that it has all sorts of strange and wonderful things...

The Eating Sect are not simply gluttons; they love the act of "eating," which includes making special dishes, tasting them, and having others taste and appreciate what they make.

Eating Sect and gluttony, isn't it a match made in heaven?

Upon arriving at the Eating Sect, the air was filled with enticing aromas. The fragrance of various dishes and foods permeated the space, and the glutton's eyes immediately lit up. "Where... where is this?!"

"Fairyland." Qin Yi carried it straight to his most familiar Jin Senior Brother, Jin: "Jin Senior Brother, do you have Overeating Bun?"

"Hey? Qin Yi, that ball of yours is pretty fun." Jin Senior Brother spotted the Black Fur Ball Qin Yi was carrying at a glance Black Fur Ball stared intently at the steamer next to him, drool dripping onto the ground.

Then the saliva that dripped onto the ground quickly turned into black mist and "whoosh" entered the steamer.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't just eat that!" Jin Senior Brother hurriedly shouted, "That's not just Overeating Bun, that's making the bun explode, it'll kill you... uh, uh?"

I lifted the lid of the steamer; it was already empty.

The Black Fur Ball in Qin Yi's hand turned into a large balloon, then slowly deflated, letting out a satisfied sigh.

The sigh turned into mist, revealing a satisfied demon's face. The satisfied expression was only for a moment, and it quickly turned into a thirst for dissatisfaction.

Endless greed is called gluttony.

Gluttony and overeating are almost its most prominent characteristics. These people who Eating Sect also have a code name: gluttons.

We're all in this together.

"This..." Jin Senior Brother stared wide-eyed. "What exactly is this ball?"

"Hiccup~" The Black Fur Ball looked at him expectantly. "It's delicious, is there more?"

"This is a mythical beast!" Jin Senior Brother exclaimed joyfully, grabbing the Black Fur Ball and excitedly ruffling it. "Come on, have some good food!"

Qin Yi warned, "Hey, Senior Brother, it'll eat you dry here."

"How is that possible? We have so much food that we can't sell. If it can eat it all up, then all our thousands of years of the Eating Sect have been for nothing."

"..." Qin Yi stretched out his hand. "I have to save some things for you, like those Overeating Bun that directly cause bloating that's hard to get rid of, give me a few."

"What do you need that for?"

"In some ways, this is more potent than any poison, and antidotes are completely useless. Give me some of anything with similar properties, the smaller the better."

Jin Senior Brother glanced at him, a knowing smile on his face, and handed him a ring. "There are quite a few kinds, take your time to study them."

"Thanks... And I really have to warn you, it can really bankrupt you."

Jin Senior Brother waved his hand impatiently. "How could that be? It's not like the Taotie has appeared in the world."

After an incense stick has burned.

Jin Senior Brother stared blankly at the empty room.

His centuries-old reserves were devoured in just a few bites...

Whether it's harmful or beneficial, it seems there's no difference; they've eaten it all up.

You should also compliment him. "It's delicious, is there any more?"

Fatty Jin's fat face twitched, unsure whether to thank him for the compliment or feel terrified.

Because he finally realized that this was indeed a gluttonous beast.

There is no other species in the world that could devour all of his high-energy food—enough to feed countless immortals—without any regard for gain or loss.

Do you still need to ask if there's any more?

What else could this be but a Taotie?

"Others keep dogs, you keep a gluttonous beast..." Fatty Jin stared blankly at Qin Yi: "Are you out of your mind?"

"Do me a favor, pack up a few rings from the delicious Eating Sect, my dog is living off them."

"A dog?... Pack it up?" Jin Senior Brother felt his worldview starting to crumble. "Wait... are you sure raising a gluttonous beast won't cause any trouble?"

Qin Yi pressed his shoulder with a heavy heart. "If you had ever raised Wolf Tooth Club, you would be much more indifferent to everything."

Fatty Jin: "..."

Liusu:"..."

Having packed up several rings containing all sorts of celestial foods, both beneficial and harmful, Qin Yi left the Eating Sect with the satisfied Black Fur Ball in his arms.

Who said gluttons are hard to raise...?

Over thousands of years Eating Sect has created countless all sorts of random and unsellable things... Packing them up and feeding them to dogs is a win-win situation, isn't that the best dog food? These rings of food will be enough for the dog to eat for a while; it won't want to eat every airship it sees.

After much deliberation, the necessary preparations for War Preparation have been completed. There's really nothing more to prepare at the moment. The only person I can consult is the Palace Master, who has been to the distant seas. I wonder if I can glean some experience from him.

Qin Yi flew towards the celestial palace.

The biggest difference between this year's return and previous years is that he used to appear as a junior—even though he is actually quite senior.

But this time when he returned, he had become a pillar of the sect. In the eyes of most disciples, he was a senior, and in the eyes of the masters of each peak, he was treated as an equal. Even though they called him "Virtuous Nephew," they did not treat him as a junior at all.

Because he has already shone brightly.

Upon entering the various halls of the Immortal Palace, the etiquette became even more pronounced. A solemn silence fell over the area, and passersby bowed respectfully. This was the level of courtesy reserved for the Immortal Palace's high-ranking officials, a privilege previously enjoyed only by the Palace Master and the major sect leaders.

His performance outside the Qin Yi also earned him prestige.

Even the aura of Blood Qi on his body is stronger than that of ordinary people. Many cultivators live in seclusion in the mountains for a thousand years, and it is impossible for them to have the sharpness that Qin Yi has developed through battle. Normally, you don't really notice it, and you even think he is quite peaceful and otherworldly. But when you are in this kind of truly relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, that difference becomes more pronounced.

It's like a tiger walking by, even if he looks very handsome.

This is a sect that has just wiped out others, and is renowned throughout the grasslands...

But the sense of pride that had just begun to rise within the palace main hall was shattered the moment they entered.

He can now judge Qian Yuan's strength, as long as the other party doesn't deliberately hide it.

He immediately sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the peak of Qian Yuan from the feeling of his soul residing in the hall.

If Qian Yuan is the ceiling of human cultivation, then the peak of Qian Yuan is the very top of the pyramid.

You're so awesome, how could you possibly end up in a lose-lose situation with someone?

"I was in the late stage of the Qian Yuan realm when I was injured." As if sensing Qin Yi's confusion, the Palace Master's voice came from afar. "That injury actually had some benefits, because I hadn't been injured for far too long, and after a few years of seclusion, I actually made progress... and then I had some other good fortune."

Qin Yi sighed, "That Cheng Yuan is at most at the third or fourth level of the Qian Yuan realm. You're already in the late stages, and you still managed to fight him to a standstill. You've lost all your prestige."

"That's not how it works," the Palace Master said. "You should have experienced the Battle of Divine Souls by now. One wrong move could lead to dire consequences. Ba Dan's soul power far surpasses yours, so why was he still so badly attacked by your counterattack?"

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, then sighed, "I understand. So you were actually beaten by someone of a higher level."

Palace Master: "..."

"Then could you tell me what attacked you in the open sea?"

Palace Master: "Guards! Throw this mute little brat out of here!"
