Chapter 55: Dog Tomb Raiding Traditional Skills
Who let her refine pills?
"By the way, Xu Hei, did you come to see me for something? Whatever you need, I\'ll definitely get it done!"
Xu Bai looked at Xu Hei, her eyes sparkling, waiting for his response.
Xu Hei was taken aback.
He remembered he came to ask Xu Bai for help with pill refining, but seeing Er Gou\'s state, could he dare to eat the pills she made?
"Right, what was I here for? I seem to have forgotten. Wait, let me think outside."
Xu Hei laughed awkwardly and turned to leave.
"Hey, is that pill furnace on your back for me? Did you come to ask me to refine pills?"Xu Bai\'s eyes lit up, staring at the pill furnace on Xu Hei\'s back.
Xu Hei\'s body stiffened, his face turning alternately blue and white.
"Whatever! With my physical body, as tough as iron and steel, what pills can\'t I eat? I can\'t compare myself to Er Gou."
Xu Hei thought to himself, deciding to go all out.
He took out the pill furnace, placing it carefully in front of Xu Bai, then brought out the Serpent Tree and a large amount of high-grade medicinal herbs, piling them up beside it.
At the same time, he took out all the jade slips containing his pill refining insights, discussions on spirit medicines, and pill recipes, laying them out in a row.
"These are the experiences I\'ve gathered on pill refining, including the recipe for the Minor Essence Nurturing Pill."
"You can give it a try, but don\'t force yourself if it doesn\'t work."
Xu Hei said tactfully.
"Mm, I won\'t let you down." Xu Bai said excitedly, putting away the jade slips.
Xu Hei took a deep breath and quickly left the cave dwelling.
Anyway, the task was handed over. When the time comes, whether the pills can be eaten or not, let Hei Huang try one first, then himself.
"She\'s just refining pills for the first time, it\'s inevitable to make mistakes. She\'ll get better with practice."
Xu Hei thought optimistically.
He indeed needed a companion who could refine pills. Otherwise, going to human cities to buy them every time was too risky. If Xu Bai could consistently produce pills, being a tool snake would be perfect.
Inside the cave dwelling.
Xu Bai glanced at Er Gou and said, "Er Gou, Xu Hei has given me a task, and I must complete it. The job of testing the pills will be yours."
Er Gou\'s silly smile froze instantly, a primal fear appearing in his eyes.

Southern Chu Kingdom, Mountain Movers Sect.
As a one-star sect in the south, Mountain Movers Sect was under the Snake Catchers Sect, with a history of five hundred years. The Mountain-moving Patriarch of that year was considered a legendary figure.
"Hmph, dare to bully little Xu? Today marks the end of your Mountain Movers Sect."
Hei Huang sneered sinisterly, his figure disappearing into the back mountain.
Who knows how much time passed.
In the back mountain of the Mountain Movers Sect, a steward was passing by, performing routine patrol and maintenance.
Suddenly, the steward stopped, his eyes widening, staring at a certain spot with an incredulous expression.
Moments later, a piercing scream echoed throughout the Mountain Movers Sect.
"Something terrible has happened! The ancestor\'s tomb has been dug up!!!"
The news spread, causing an uproar in the entire sect.
The sect master, the grand elder, the guest elders from the Snake Catchers Sect... all the high-ranking members gathered in the back mountain, only to see a large pit dug out of the ancestor\'s tomb, the third-tier formation above it rendered useless, completely ignored.
"No!!" Grand Elder Shi Fengzi screamed, almost fainting.
Others hurriedly said, "Quick, go inside and check the ancestor\'s body."
Shi Fengzi snapped back to reality, rushing into the tomb. The coffin inside was empty, not only were the burial items gone, but the remains were also missing.
The formations and restrictions were all in an inactive state.
In other words, the grave robber had ignored the formations!
"Who!? Who did this!!!"
Shi Fengzi roared in anger.
The Mountain-moving Patriarch was his most revered master. His master\'s reputation was more important to him than his own life, and now the body was stolen, crossing his bottom line.
"The Mountain-moving Patriarch was a Core Formation stage powerhouse back in the day. To dare steal his body, the culprit must also be a Core Formation cultivator!"
"Impossible, if it were a Core Formation cultivator, why do such a despicable act?"
"If not a Core Formation stage, how could they ignore the third-tier formation?"
The high-ranking members discussed heatedly.
Sect Master Shi Yazi knelt in front of the tomb, continuously kowtowing, tears streaming down.
"Disciple is unfilial, disciple is unfilial!"
After a while, he immediately issued orders, sparing no expense, mobilizing the entire sect\'s power to capture the grave robber, and offering a sky-high reward.
The guest elder from the Snake Catchers Sect was deep in thought.
"Why did nothing happen to others, but your Mountain Movers Sect had an incident? What\'s different about you?"
He quickly thought of the difference: you had a Foundation Establishment elder die, while others didn\'t.
"Sigh!"
This guest elder rubbed his forehead, feeling speechless.
For a time, the theft of the Mountain-moving Patriarch\'s body caused a huge stir, shocking the Southern Region. Other sects hurriedly strengthened their defenses to prevent similar incidents.
The theft of an ancestor\'s body was a great humiliation, worse than being slapped in the face.
And the instigator, Hei Huang, was too exhausted to rob another sect. Just dealing with the Mountain-moving Patriarch had worn him out.
But the gains were substantial.
"What a pity, if only I could get the third-tier techniques from the Heavenly Puppet Sect and refine you into a corpse puppet, that would be interesting." Hei Huang thought to himself.
He regretted not going to the Heavenly Puppet Sect to demand a copy back then. With his fame at the time, who would dare refuse?
Not to mention the Heavenly Puppet Sect, even its headquarters, the Divine Puppet Sect, would have to comply.
"Little Xu is lucky, with a single wood spiritual root, he won\'t have to worry about pills in the future. Perfect, this time I\'ll teach him some pill refining techniques and see how talented he is."
Hei Huang thought excitedly, burrowing into the ground.

In a forest overgrown with chaotic trees.
A group of black-skinned, long-haired giant elephants was munching on the plants here. The leader, standing five meters tall, was like a giant, easily devouring a large tree.
Xu Hei hid in the ground, observing this group of mammoth elephants for some time.
The leader, the Mammoth King, had reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Communion stage, a quasi-great demon.
Although not at the Foundation Establishment stage, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn\'t dare provoke such a beast lightly.
These beasts stood at the top of the food chain, moving in herds, immensely powerful. Injuring one would attract the whole group, and even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would gain nothing.
Moreover, these beasts had thick skin and tough flesh, ordinary spells couldn\'t harm them, making them hard to kill.
"Any one of them could feed me for days."
Xu Hei flicked his tongue, extremely tempted.
Without pills and having run out of demonic beast meat, he had to hunt.
His Earth Spike and thick earth armor were practiced to perfection, and his puppet techniques were not neglected, able to control fifty small lizards or twenty large ones simultaneously.
Xu Hei only wanted to eat the Great Perfection leader or the second-in-command at the eighth level of the Spirit Communion stage.
"Better not alert them, let\'s try luring them away first."
Xu Hei thought, sending out a small lizard.
