Heaven-Slaughtering Dog replied, "Although I cultivate quickly, my combat strength still can't compare to Boss's. I need to keep working hard." As he spoke, Heaven-Slaughtering Dog opened his mouth and took a deep breath of spiritual energy, looking thoroughly satisfied.
Xu Yang laughed and scolded him, "You should be content! Your combat strength is already incredibly strong. You can challenge people above your level, and you're still not satisfied?"
"But Boss can withstand cultivators two minor realms above him. He's far stronger than me. Boss can probably face False Core Realm cultivators on his own now, right? You're the goal I'm striving toward," Heaven-Slaughtering Dog said earnestly.
Xu Yang curled his lip and said unhappily, "You're far too greedy. Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'd better hurry up and cultivate! If you leave me too far behind, I'll lose face too!" With that, Xu Yang sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began absorbing the pure spiritual energy from the Spirit Spring tributary.
Seeing this, Heaven-Slaughtering Dog shook his head helplessly and muttered, "I was going to ask you for some treasures! You still haven't given me my share of the things from the ancient cave abode!"
Xu Yang opened his eyes and said to him, "Tomorrow. Once I've finished dividing up Wu Hai and the others' things, I'll give you your share too. Don't worry, you won't be left out. I've already set aside a Barrier-Breaking Pill for you."
Heaven-Slaughtering Dog's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Haha! I knew Boss wouldn't forget me. Tomorrow, I'll be rolling in wealth!" These past few days, Xu Yang had already told him about the treasures found in the cave abode, and he'd been coveting them for a long time. Hearing Xu Yang's words, he immediately perked up.
