Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Awakening Spirit Intelligence
The Snow Cat, after eating the Remnant Pill, climbed back onto the wall and lazily napped in the sun.
An hour later, it woke up feeling refreshed, leaped down from the wall, elegantly stretched its limbs, and began to stroll around.
At that mont, a servant-like man ca over, his face filled with anxiety. Upon seeing the Snow Cat, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly ran over, saying, “Little ancestor, you really gave a scare to death!”
This was the pet raised by the Pill Yard’s headmaster, treasured by him beyond asure. If sothing happened to it, he was sure to be in deep trouble.
The Snow Cat owed haughtily and didn’t run away, allowing the man to pick it up and take it back to the headmaster’s private residence.
But shortly after, the Snow Cat began to ow restlessly; its fur puffed out, showing signs of discomfort.
...
Upon seeing this, Pill Yard headmaster Sun Yiming could not help but panic. This was no ordinary cat, but a cub of the ferocious Snow Spirit Cat, which could reach the heights of the Other Shore Realm if it grew normally.
However, it was orphaned at birth and did not receive the essential mother’s milk, leaving it inherently deficient, and hence, as ordinary as any white cat.
But, if he could concoct the right Spiritual dicine, there was still an opportunity to compensate for the deficiencies of the Snow Spirit Cat and train a Ferocious Beast—that is, a Spirit Beast—of the Other Shore Realm.
Therefore, seeing the Snow Spirit Cat in apparent trouble naturally caused him great distress.
As the headmaster of the Pill Yard and a high-level Pill Master with expertise in dical knowledge, he imdiately examined the Snow Cat. But aside from an abnormal rise in body temperature, he discovered no other problems.
What was going on?
He had invested so much effort into this Snow Spirit Cat, feeding it nurous treasure dicines and Exotic Fruits, and having raised it for so long, he had grown attached to it.
But, even he, the headmaster, was helpless in this situation; what could anyone else do?
So all he could do was watch helplessly.
Fortunately, after a while, the Snow Spirit Cat stopped its restlessness and cald down. However, on its back, a strand of snow-white fur had turned silver. The difference was subtle yet noticeable.
What?
At that mont, Sun Yiming was utterly astonished. Although it was just one strand of hair that changed, the significance of it was enormously profound.
The bloodline had awakened!
Due to congenital deficiencies, the special bloodline of the Snow Spirit Cat was suppressed, making it seem like an ordinary cat. But the mark of a Snow Spirit Cat was a strand of silver fur on its back.
Its appearance now signified the awakening of the bloodline.
How could it have awakened so suddenly?
Sun Yiming was baffled, as he hadn’t refined any Elixirs for it recently.
Could it be that with the Snow Spirit Cat’s growth and consumption of so many Spiritual dicines, it had naturally progressed to the point of self-awakening?
“ow! ow! ow!” The Snow Spirit Cat cried out, its eyes emitting a spiritual aura that beca clearer and more lucid.
Sun Yiming watched in delighted surprise, full of anticipation. As long as the bloodline awakened, it wouldn’t be long before the Snow Spirit Cat could ascend to the Other Shore Realm.
Although he was limited to a Primary Level Soul-Nurturing for this lifeti, raising a Spirit Beast of the Other Shore Realm would surely make him more impressive than even the Sect Master himself.
The old man couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride, the corners of his mouth revealing a smile.
“ow!”
“ow!”
“Dried fish!”
Oh, my lord, damn!
Sun Yiming’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the Snow Spirit Cat.
The one owing was it, and the one that shouted dried fish… was also it.
This!
Not only had the bloodline been activated, but it had also fully developed intelligence, speaking human words?
What was going on?
Sun Yiming knew that although Ferocious Beasts possessed intelligence, they certainly couldn’t speak.
——Though he is the dean of the Pill Yard, his pill refining skills are far inferior to those of Yuan Chengmie, so he has no idea that there exists an elixir that can awaken the intelligence of wild beasts.
The awakening of intelligence naturally revives bloodlines, which is far more ingenious than any thod he could have conceived.
It is inevitable, for knowledge limits one’s perspective.
But, what the hell is with the dried fish?
You are a Snow Spirit Cat, a being that could one day beco an Almighty of the Other Shore Realm, yet with your mouth full of dried fish, where is your dignity?
“Xiao Xue, can you speak now?” Sun Yiming said, full of surprise. Without children of his own, the Snow Spirit Cat was, in a way, his offspring.
The Snow Spirit Cat looked at him haughtily: “When you speak to this king, you must use ‘you’!”
So arrogant!
Sun Yiming was only surprised and didn’t mind the Snow Spirit Cat’s haughtiness, and said, “Did you eat so treasure dicine that awakened your intelligence?”
Incredible, not only did it awaken your bloodline, but it even granted you sentient wisdom, enabling you to speak human language, which is beyond my comprehension.
As a diligent Pill Master who lives and learns, he naturally beca curious.
The Snow Cat remained haughty, pointing with her paw: “You must call this great king ‘you’!”
“Alright, you!” Sun Yiming chuckled. At his age, he naturally wouldn’t take offense at a “child,” moreover a “girl.”
“I won’t tell you!” the Snow Spirit Cat said, shaking her tail.
Sun Yiming couldn’t help but be speechless, at this mont he almost wished the Snow Spirit Cat hadn’t awakened her intelligence, she was being too cheeky.
“Dried fish!” an idea flashed through his mind.
“ow!” the Snow Spirit Cat imdiately showed a look of craving, “Human, quickly offer the dried fish to this king.”
“Okay, okay,” Sun Yiming laughed, knowing the weakness of the Snow Spirit Cat now.
He got so dried fish, and as he fed her, he began to coax gently.
“Did you eat a Remnant Pill made by soone?”
“Did one refining session produce two successful elixirs?”
“Xiao Xue, oh great King Snow, take to find him!”
…
A little earlier in ti, still within the Pill Yard.
“Seventh Uncle, I was supposed to be the shining star of this term, but all the lilight has been stolen by that kid!” Guo Yuheng complained.
Guo Yuheng’s Seventh Uncle, Primary Level Pill Master Guo Zhou, is barely forty years old, but with exceptional talent in the Alchemy Dao, he officially joined the ranks of Pill Masters two years ago. His status soared, endowing him with the ease and arrogance of soone who has risen above others.
A frown crossed his face as well. Following him, Guo Yuheng had also shown remarkable Alchemy Dao talent. If their clan could produce two Pill Masters, their power would increase trendously.
But now, out of nowhere, Shi Hao had appeared, utterly eclipsing Guo Yuheng.
The resources of the Pill Yard are limited. With a talent like Shi Hao surpassing Guo Yuheng, those resources would definitely lean towards Shi Hao.
“This child is getting too much attention, he needs to be suppressed,” Guo Zhou muttered thoughtfully.
Guo Yuheng had co to complain in hopes that his seventh uncle would devise so sche, and was naturally overjoyed at hearing this.
“Seventh Uncle, what do you have in mind?” he asked.
Guo Zhou revealed a cold smile: “I plan to take Shi Hao as my assistant.”
Guo Yuheng was initially startled; taking Shi Hao as an assistant seed like helping him, didn’t it?
Everyone knows that the goal of all apprentices is to beco an assistant to a Pill Master. By aiding in alchemy refinent, one can receive direct teaching and accumulate experience, ultimately standing on their own.
But then it dawned on him, would Guo Zhou actually give guidance if he took Shi Hao as an assistant?
“Seventh Uncle, you are brilliant!”
