Molten Fire Black Hound!

Life became increasingly comfortable, and the situation was surprisingly peaceful.

In recent years, Clear Blue Kingdom has been busy digesting its territory, Grand Purity and Profound Purity Kingdoms have been busy recuperating and rebuilding. The entire Profound Spirit Continent has finally ushered in a period of peace.

White Cloud Immortal City, Southern District Spirit Beast Workshop.

Zhao Kuo, the Zhao Household's steward, stood in front of the shop, a heavy Storage Bag in his hand, grinning from ear to ear...

In the shop's backyard, dozens of black puppy puppies, their fur jet black and glossy, were tearing at each other and struggling.

These puppies, each with gleaming eyes and fiery paws, exuded a fierce energy even though they had just been weaned—a cute little devil.

"Deacon Zhao, I, Azure Wood Fort, will take all of this batch of ' Molten Fire Black Hound '. Three hundred low-grade Spirit Stone per dog, how about it?" A Rogue Cultivator merchant rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with smiles.

Zhao Kuo rolled his eyes and slammed the Spirit Stone bag onto the counter.

Three hundred? You think you're buying a mongrel?

"This is a pure-blooded descendant of our clan's Kuang Dou Ancestor! He has a natural affinity for Fire Dao he grows up, he can guard our home, track treasures, and even reach the Qi Refining Late Stage upon adulthood."

"If raised well and carefully nurtured, there is even a chance of Foundation Establishment!"

Zhao Kuo held up five fingers. "Five hundred Spirit Stone per head, no bargaining. If you don't want it, there are plenty of Lineage queuing up behind you."

The merchant gritted his teeth and readily paid.

In the cultivation world today, the "Molten Fire Black Hound" produced by the Ming Province Northern Protectorate have long been sought-after items, renowned far and wide.

Simply put, it's incredibly comprehensive and offers exceptional value for money!

Their fighting strength is no less than that of tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals, yet they also possess the ability to scout and search, are friendly to humans, and are easy to tame.

They are not picky about resources; they can be raised in poverty or wealth. Furthermore, their bloodline has the potential to advance to the Foundation Establishment!

It is arguably the most cost-effective spirit beast choice for Qi Refining cultivators or Foundation Establishment forces, bar none.

Unfortunately, Molten Fire Black Hound puppies sold were neutered.

It can be said that it is one of the unique spirit beasts of White Cloud Temple, and also the best-selling spirit beast, hence its widespread fame.

Right now, on the Frenzied Battle Peak.

Kuang Dou lay sprawled at the entrance of the Fire Cloud Grotto, listening to his underlings report on the month's earnings, his mouth agape to his ears.

"Let those little brats below have as many babies as they want! The more they have, the more they can sell!"

"I'll exchange all the Spirit Stone I earn for Fire Element spiritual materials. I'm going to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage! I want to break through to the Golden Core!"

The rampant growth of the Black Dog Line is just a microcosm of the Northern Mountain Range.

The five bear lineages were also busy. Apart from the Lightning Bear Line, which followed Shi Jian into seclusion for cultivation, the other four lineages were either expanding their territory or multiplying at an alarming rate.

The size of the Demon Race race is expanding like a snowball during these peaceful years.

Beneath the Northern Mountain Range, in a dark cave thousands of feet deep.

A vortex of extremely cold Spiritual Qi suddenly exploded.

The Lord Rat sat cross-legged on a piece of Mysterious Ice, its gray-black fur standing on end, and the Yin energy emanating from its body was so dense that it was almost tangible.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came from his body, the shackles were broken, and the liquid spiritual energy in his Dantian expanded by more than double in an instant.

The bones cracked and popped, the flesh grew wildly, and the rat's tail became increasingly long.

Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!

The Lord Rat opened his small eyes, which gleamed with a sharp light. He stood up, shook his fur, and felt a surge of power coursing through his body.

"Hehe, after all these years, I've finally reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage..."

"I never imagined that I, who followed the ancestor the earliest, would now have the lowest cultivation level. Even that Kuang Dou's advancement speed far surpasses mine."

"Breaking through the shackles of bloodline is truly fraught with difficulties..."

"The five bear bloodlines were personally cultivated by the ancestor, and coupled with the inherent strength of the bear bloodline, they occupy a high position. Such advantages are naturally unmatched."

"I never expected that this young man, Kuang Dou, would actually surpass me. It's truly a twist of fate."

The Lord Rat stroked his whiskers, sighing inwardly. The rat demons as a whole had weak bloodlines, a limitation of their race that was truly difficult to change.

Just as he was pondering how to alter his bloodline and figuring out how to make his move...

A bolt of purple-gold lightning exploded in his mind without warning.

"A breakthrough?"

Shi Jian's deep, resonant voice pierced through the thousands of feet of earth, reverberating within the Lord Rat's consciousness.

The Lord Rat shuddered in fright, immediately prostrating itself on the ground and repeatedly kowtowing towards the direction of Purple Firmament Peak...

"The Ancestor is truly mighty!"

"My minor breakthrough was entirely due to the ancestor's guidance!"

He was utterly horrified. The ancestor was clearly still in seclusion, and hadn't even opened the door to his cave abode, yet his Divine Sense could penetrate the ground without any hindrance and pinpoint his location precisely.

Such a level of Divine Sense power is truly terrifying!

"Now that you've broken through, do me a favor. You're the most suitable person to do this."

"What are your orders, Ancestor?"

"I would brave mountains of knives Mountain Foot Fire without flinching!"

"Let's make a trip to the Supreme Purity Sect's mountain gate in Qing Province. Shi Yin has been lurking there for so many years; it's time to meet him..."

"Over the years, I must have learned quite a bit."

Upon hearing the name "Shi Yin," the Lord Rat's expression turned solemn.

The white bear of the Frost and Snow Line was given to True Person Luan Shan by the ancestor and later brought into the Supreme Purity Sect by True Person Luan Shan.

This hidden weapon has been buried for decades. Now that the situation is nearing stability, I'm going to use it.

"Yes, sir! We shall depart immediately!"
