  "Come here, little one, come and I'll give you some roasted fish to eat."

  "Little Fluffy, be good, or next time I won't take you out to hunt monsters."

  "Don't worry, this isn't a medicinal pill, it's just a roasted carp..."

  ……

  "Are you coming or not?" Qin Tian's tone changed, his eyes widened, and he coldly snorted: "If you don't come over now, you'll never get to eat roasted fish again."

  Cowered in the corner, showing extremely fearful eyes, dare not take a step forward.

  Qin Tian used threats and temptation, speaking all sorts of nice words, but it was to no avail. In the end, Qin Tian had no choice but to bring out his trump card - a fragrant roasted fish that filled the air with its aroma.

  The aroma of roasted fish wafted through the entire cave, and Mao saw the roasted fish in Qin Tian's hand. His eyes sparkled with golden light, and saliva flowed out as he excitedly walked forward, his mouth watering, revealing a cute expression. He rubbed back and forth on Qin Tian's boots, looking very pleasing.

  Qin Tian smiled gloomily, crouched down, one hand holding a roasted fish and the other holding a mysterious black pill, saying: "Eat this first, then eat the roasted fish."

  Mao Mao looked at the black, oily thing and couldn't help but shiver as it emitted a medicinal aroma. Looking at Qin Tian's roasted fish, he seemed to have made up his mind, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth.

  "Good boy."

  Qin Tian smiled slightly and stuffed the dan medicine into Mao Mao's mouth, then ordered: "Swallow it."

  His face twisted in pain, he used all his might to swallow the medicine, then opened his mouth for Qin Tian to check.

  "Not bad, be this obedient in the future too, otherwise don't think about eating roasted fish again."

  As he spoke, Qin Tian tore off half of the roasted fish and threw it to Mao Mao. Before the fish even hit the ground, Mao Mao sprang up and bit into it in one swift motion, swallowing it with relish, licking his lips with an unsatisfied expression, and gazing at the other half of the roasted fish in Qin Tian's hand with great enthusiasm, drooling all over the place.

  "You're just a foodie."

  "You said you've been eating for over a year, what have you grown?"

  "Share my experience, eat my elixir, and still want me to roast fish for you every day."

  "Am I your master, or are you my elder?"

  Qin Tian scolded in a string of complaints, Mao Mao lowered his head, his front paws drawing circles on the ground, not daring to look at Qin Tian again, pouting with a small mouth, and even dared not hum a sound.

  "Oh no, you've even learned how to curse people by drawing circles?"

  Qin Tianhua had just finished speaking when Mao Mao immediately stopped moving and didn't dare draw circles again.

  Qin Tian had a look of regret, let out a long sigh, and threw the other half of the roasted fish to it. He then took out a nourishing pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it, sitting down on one side, leaning against the rock wall and paying attention to Mao Mao's reaction.

  More than a year after Hei Yan left, Qin Tian put most of his energy into alchemy. After unremitting efforts, his alchemy finally reached level one and was only a few hundred points away from reaching level two in proficiency. Achieving such great success couldn't be separated from Momo's selfless testing of the medicine.

  From the first elixir, Mao Mao became his exclusive guinea pig monster. Every time he refined a new and strange elixir, he immediately let Mao Mao try it to see what reaction would occur, then made modifications and added another type of spiritual grass.

  Failure is the mother of success.

  After tens of thousands of failures, the alchemy technique was finally upgraded to level one, and some first-class elixirs could be refined. This was also thanks to being in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, where spiritual herbs were easy to collect; otherwise, Qin Tian had no idea how many years it would take to upgrade his alchemy technique.

  Through his tireless efforts and diligent research, he was finally able to refine some low-grade elixirs. The nourishing elixir he had just taken was one that he had refined himself, with greatly improved effects on satiety.

  For a curious Qin Tian in scientific research, he seized this opportunity to indulge in his addiction and refined all sorts of elixirs, including aphrodisiacs, beauty pills, diarrhea medicine, and some strange and bizarre elixirs that had never appeared on the Tianyuan Continent before.

  Although the elixir was somewhat unsatisfactory, Qin Tian was very satisfied, as these things had great uses.

  After more than a year, Qin Tian still couldn't figure out Mao Mao.

  This guy's body hasn't changed since birth, his experience points haven't decreased, he hasn't eaten less, but he just won't grow taller, completely lacking the majestic aura of a lion. This greatly disappointed Qin Tian.

  Taming a combat pet is difficult, but it can't be this hard, right?

  Logically speaking, Mao's body should have grown a bit bigger by now. In the pet system, its level had already reached fifth grade, but its body hadn't changed at all, Qin Tian couldn't understand it.

  Finally, Qin Tian suspected that all of this was because of the elixir.

  All the strange and weird elixirs were given to Mao Mao for trial, finally settling on developmental disorders, genetic mutations in the body, and becoming a dwarf with bloodshot eyes and shaggy hair.

  For this, Qin Tian sometimes felt very guilty, so in order to let Mao Mao develop normally, he continued to research new elixirs. The one he just gave it was a newly developed elixir, and the attributes displayed by the system were all question marks. What effect it had was unknown.

  After Mao Mao swallowed the Dan medicine, there was no obvious reaction characteristic, which made Qin Tian very disappointed. He thought secretly, where was it wrong? Was it that the dose of Ling Cao was not right or was it the wrong use of Ling Cao?

  Watching Qin Tian fall into deep thought, Mao Mao felt a wave of fear again.

  It knew that its sinister master was thinking of concocting a new elixir again.

  Rumble...

  A series of thunderclaps echoed outside the cave.

  Qin Tian's eyes snapped open, and Mao Mao quickly scurried to the entrance of the cave, sniffed with his nose, and immediately began to curse in a low voice in one direction.

  At this moment, Qin Tian's breathing method was released, and his eyes lit up, "Human?!"

  Since Hei Yan left, Qin Tian hadn't seen a living person yet. Occasionally, he would encounter several times, but they were all dead people who had started to rot.

  The sound just now was definitely caused by the collision of the five people's Gong Fa, and the breath in the air also sensed that there were five people, with stable internal energy, their strength should not be lower than the Jiling boundary.

  Mao Mao stood by with great interest, watching Qin Tian, his eyes filled with excitement.

  "Go and take a look."

  Qin Tian smiled and Mao Mao instantly jumped down from the cave on the cliff.

  Although Mao's body didn't grow much, his flexibility was particularly strong. He could jump from a height of several hundred meters and land steadily on the ground without getting hurt at all.

  After Mao Mao jumped down, Qin Tian also followed suit and jumped down.

  "Senior brother, isn't a fourth-stage demonic beast too easy?"

  A woman wearing a pink dress, dressed in a seductive manner, with a naturally flirtatious appearance, glanced at the crimson boar under her feet and said disdainfully.

  "Palace Master Shao, these low-ranking demon beasts don't require your intervention, we can handle them."

  A man who looked like a servant walked up to the woman with his head bowed and said respectfully.

  "Sister Yan, you've already gathered eight stages of spiritual energy, so a fourth-stage demonic beast is naturally no match for you."

  A young man in white clothes walked up, holding a white fan in his hand, with a handsome face and a long gown that moved without wind, showing off his impressive skills.

  The other two were also men who followed and came up.

  "Our goal this time is the Millennium Corpse King, let's complete the task as soon as possible and get the merit points to exchange for a better weapon for you." The young man said softly, walking to the woman's side and gently tidying up her messy hair.

  The maid beside the woman's side flashed her eyes and showed a slight anger, her fists clenched a few times, but this series of actions did not attract anyone's attention.

  The man tidied up the woman's disheveled hair bun and said gently, "I know you've always wanted that crystal sword. If we kill this thousand-year-old corpse king, our merit points will be enough."

  "Brother, you're really good to me." The woman smiled foolishly and leaned her body slightly into the man's arms, looking extremely ambiguous.

  On the other side, two men showed a look of envy on their faces.

  Suddenly, the woman's expression changed and she exclaimed in surprise: "How cute is this little beast! Brother, brother, quickly, quickly, quickly catch it for me!"

  Before the man could make a move, the other two men finally got their chance and immediately sprinted out...
