Xu Taiping rolled his eyes at it and said:
"This pile of gold essence stone is for forging my weapons, so don't get any ideas about it. As for black iron ore, I'll find some for you later."
At this, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Xu Taiping, and his heart trembled.
"Wait, doesn't the Crimson Heaven Spirit Garden have both iron ore and exotic beasts?"
Xu Taiping immediately asked the Xiaohei Hound:
"Wolf-Head, how strong are you in battle now?"
The Xiaohei Hound raised its head and sniffed the air, then pondered for a while before saying:
"The Lower Realm has quite a few restrictions. My current combat strength is probably one stage below yours, Master."
Somewhat surprised, Xu Taiping said:
"You already have combat strength equivalent to the Heaven Questioning Realm?"
The Xiaohei Hound nodded.
"Thanks to your gift, Master, I am one of the few Yin Gods in this world with a body. I can fight without having to borrow the body of a Dao Integration cultivator. Although my body is still very weak, my combat strength is nevertheless considerably greater than that of ordinary Yin Gods."
At this point, it suddenly bared its teeth, then added with great confidence:
"Moreover, with my Iron-Eating Power, I can bite through even Divine Weapons, let alone ordinary bodies of flesh and blood."
"If I encounter powerful beasts, no matter how formidable they are, these teeth of mine can bite through their throats!"
"No matter how hard their flesh and bones are!"
Xu Taiping was immediately delighted.
"I'll take you somewhere in a moment. There are more exotic beasts and iron ore there than you could ever eat!"
He added:
"It's just that the exotic beasts there are extremely powerful. I'm afraid you might not be able to handle them."
