The Big Yellow Dog's Origins

"Master, don't leave me!"

The Big Yellow suddenly woke up and began to speak in human language.

When it caught a glimpse of Qin Fei out of the corner of its eye, it trembled with fear.

Having just woken up, he didn't notice that someone was standing next to him, and immediately tucked his tail between his legs.

It then realized its lapse in behavior and became somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Hey kid, which peak are you from? What are you doing staring at your old man?"

Qin Fei looked at it with great interest.

He had a strange feeling about this Big Yellow.

Although it is called a puppet, it possesses its own soul, and its Divine Sense strength is not low.

If it is a demonic Demon Beast, it is a puppet with a body covered only by an animal skin.

However, this dog showed no signs of Spiritual Power and was weaker than even the First Level of Qi Refinement, so it posed no danger.

He ignored the Big Yellow's question and instead asked:

Who is your master?

"How dare you! I, Dog Lord, am the number one spirit beast under the Heavenly Secrets Founding Patriarch! You don't even know that the disciples you recruit now are getting worse with each generation?"

The Big Yellow sighed mysteriously, then walked to a pillar and marked a spot with its hind leg.

Qin Fei raised an eyebrow slightly; he didn't have that much time to waste.

A puppet emerged from behind, grabbed the Big Yellow by the tail, and hoisted it into the air.

"Next, I will ask you questions, and if I am not satisfied with your answers, then you have no reason to live. Do you understand?"

The Big Yellow was completely taken aback by Qin Fei's audacity in attacking it, but it soon realized that the person in front of it was not a disciple of the Heavenly Secrets Sect.

Its eyes darted around, and it chuckled twice, saying:

"Fellow Daoist, please ask. I, Dog Lord—no, this old dog—will answer all your questions without reservation."

Qin Fei wasted no time and asked:

"Are you the spirit beast of the Heavenly Mystery Elder?"

Well, I guess so.

What does "consider" mean?

"Our ancestor possessed numerous spirit beasts; I was merely an old dog who guarded his home before he began cultivating."

It turns out that the Big Yellow was a domestic animal kept by the Heavenly Mystery Elder Secrets in the mortal world.

Later, upon entering the Dao Path, he saw that the dog was old and frail, and unable to bear seeing it die, he extracted its soul and placed it in a puppet.

After achieving success in cultivation, he even used Secret Method to help the person grow flesh and blood and protect their soul from dissipation.

From then on, the Big Yellow was no longer just a puppet, but became a special creature with almost endless lifespan.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately unable to cultivate, and after one of his outings, the Heavenly Mystery Elder never returned.

The Big Yellow knew nothing about what happened after that; its Puppet Core was removed, and it remained in a state of eternal slumber.

After listening to its story, Qin Fei gained some understanding of the Heavenly Mystery Elder.

This person is the leader of a sect, Nascent Soul Late Stage ancestor, whose strength is even greater than that of the Supreme Elder of the Azure Wood Palace.

Such a great figure must have left behind a legacy that is immeasurable.

No wonder the major powers are fighting over it like madmen; it certainly has a powerful background.

"Now that I have been fortunate enough to obtain this tremendous fortuitous opportunity, I must not reveal it, lest it bring disaster upon myself."

Qin Fei secretly reminded himself that he must keep a low profile in the future.

The Big Yellow was extremely shocked to learn that thousands of years had passed.

"What? You're saying my Heavenly Secrets Sect has already been wiped out? How is that possible?"

It's hard to believe, the Heavenly Secrets Sect was once the number one sect of the human race, and the Heavenly Mystery Elder had laid a vast foundation for it.

How could it have vanished so quickly after thousands of years?

How can they continue to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the future?

The Big Yellow felt bitter and burst into tears.

However, upon seeing Qin Fei beside her, she revealed a fawning expression.

"Hehe, what's there to reminisce about in old, trivial matters? I see you have an extraordinary bearing, and you seem to be a person of great loyalty and righteousness. You wouldn't abandon me, would you?"

Qin Fei hadn't really figured out what to do with the old dog and was hesitant for a moment.

Upon seeing this, the Big Yellow panicked.

"This old dog is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and will definitely be a great help to you on your cultivation path."

"Fellow Daoist, you've already Late Qi Refining, but your Spirit Root hasn't been fully nourished yet, right? Leave this to me. My nose is the best; no heavenly materials and earthly treasures can escape its detection."

Qin Fei's heart stirred; he did indeed need a large amount of the Five Elements materials to nourish his Spirit Root.

If this dog truly has this ability, keeping it wouldn't be a bad thing.

"You can follow me, but I need to place a restriction on your soul."

Whether one is a cultivator or Demon Beast, the soul is of paramount importance.

After placing the restriction, it is made to go east and dare not go west, otherwise, with just a thought, the opponent's soul can be scattered.

Qin Fei many secrets, and if the Big Yellow is kept by his side, it's inevitable that he will discover them.

Therefore, he needs to have absolute control.

The Big Yellow clearly understood the gravity of the situation, and after thinking for a long time, it finally said:

"Yes, but I also need to sign Blood Pact with you, binding us both to refrain from betraying each other."

Blood Pact is equivalent to Heavenly Dao Oath; if either party breaks it, they will be severely punished.

The Big Yellow made this request because it was worried that Qin Fei was not a good master.

Qin Fei himself had no objections; the Blood Pact bound both parties, and if the Big Yellow had no ulterior motives, he wouldn't betray it.

He bit his finger, using his Spiritual Power as a guide, and wrote the binding terms of the Blood Pact in mid-air.

After confirming that everything was correct, the Big Yellow dripped its own Essence Blood into the Blood Pact.

With the Blood Pact complete, the two the Unseen a subtle connection.

Then Qin Fei told the Big Yellow to relax its mind, and pointed a finger at its forehead to plant a soul imprint.

Only after doing all this did he truly feel at ease.

Three days later, Qin Fei reported to the Patrol Office in the center of the town.

A Big Yellow followed behind, attracting a lot of attention.

The Patrol Office was bustling with people, and wounded soldiers could be seen from time to time; the air was thick with the smell of war.

The contact person was a young old man in the Middle Qi Refining Stage. His eyes lit up when he sensed Qin Fei's aura.

"Fellow Daoist, your timing is perfect. Jia Sixteen Squad encountered barbarian soldiers while on a mission, and their captain was killed. You shall go there."

He pulled out a token with the three large characters "Jia Sixteen" written on it.

Qin Fei's mind stirred, and he asked in a low voice:

"Isn't the patrol team responsible for patrolling the human borders? How come even the captain is dead? Could it be that they encountered a large-scale barbarian army?"

In the patrol teams, the captains are all cultivators in the Late Qi Refining, and the areas they are responsible for do not go deep into the Barbarian Tribe territory, so there should not be too many casualties.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but the vanguard within the garrison has already clashed with the barbarian army, and so far, neither side has gained the upper hand."

"The border is now littered with scattered, defeated troops, including human soldiers and barbarian soldiers."

"That former captain grew up in his Lineage and lacked experience, which is why he perished. However, fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry too much. As long as you're careful, I believe you'll be fine."

Qin Fei nodded thoughtfully and, led by the old man, arrived at the assembly point of Jia Sixteen Squad.

"Stand still! What kind of order is this, scattered like this?!"

The old man cursed, then pointed at Qin Fei and said:

"This is your new captain. He will be in charge of all missions from now on. Understand?"

The team consists of four people, three men and one woman, all of whom are Middle Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

The one with the highest cultivation level was a man at the Sixth Level of Qi Refining, dressed in a Daoist robe and holding a whisk.

Several people sustained injuries of varying degrees, clearly caused by the previous mission.

Upon seeing Qin Fei and the Big Yellow, they both frowned and secretly communicated.

"What bad luck! Last time, that captain was clearly a greenhorn, almost costing us our lives. And now this guy's walking a dog. Does he think patrolling the border is child's play?"

"Let's be patient. If this guy is too incompetent and leads us to our deaths, then we'll just ignore him."

Each person had their own thoughts, but on the surface, they cupped their hands in greeting, maintaining the most basic etiquette.

However, Qin Fei's subsequent reaction made them dare not have any further thoughts.

Qin Fei glanced at them and said calmly:

"Although I am not very capable, I would never do anything to throw my life away, so you can all rest assured."

The group exchanged glances discreetly and then lowered their heads.

Could it be that the telepathic communication was overheard?
