Starting as a stray dog, I embarked on a journey of cultivation.

But just as Gou An turned around to leave, a different noise came from behind him.

"A superior-grade Earth-rank spiritual root... a low-grade Mortal-rank comprehension, and a low-grade Mortal-rank Dao heart!"

Mo Wuhai's gaze then shifted to the other two crystals.

Upon seeing the layer of hazy white light on the surface of the two crystals, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

Such high spiritual talent, yet such low comprehension and Dao heart.

Such a person is truly rare; one could even say he has never seen one before.

Even if someone with such high spiritual talent has poor comprehension and Dao heart, it's impossible for them to be this bad.

It's like a fool suddenly getting the body of a genius; it just doesn't feel right.

When Lai Pi saw that he was being watched by so many people, he was so frightened that he shrank his neck and trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to look Mo Wuhai in the eye.

Seeing the boy's lewd behavior, Mo Wuhai showed a look of disgust.

Such a talented person should be a dashing and heroic figure, but the young man in front of us is quite the opposite.

With his shifty eyes and sly, cowardly appearance, he looked exactly like a thief.

Whether or not to bring such an eccentric person back is a question.

This kind of talent, if nurtured with a large amount of the sect's resources.

With such low comprehension and spiritual commitment, he is destined not to become any talent.

If resources aren't invested in training them, they'd be no better than an ordinary servant.

After much deliberation, Mo Wuhai spoke up: "Your comprehension and Dao heart are too poor... you should go back!"

"The Celestial Star Sect is not suitable for you!"

Upon hearing this, the previously timid and submissive Lai Pi suddenly turned from sorrow to joy, as if he had heard some incredibly good news.

"Really?" Lai Pi grinned, his eyes wide with delight. "Then can I go back now?"

Everyone around, including Mo Wuhai, was stunned, and the crowd immediately began to discuss the matter.

"Why is he so happy about not being selected?"

"He really is an idiot!"

"It's a pity that such a good body was wasted by a fool."

"I wish it were for me."

Mo Wuhai sighed and said to Lai Pi, "That's right, you can go back now."

"Okay, okay! I'm off then."

Lai Pi smiled and nodded repeatedly, then happily left through the side exit without lingering.

He never intended to join any sect; if it weren't for Brother Gou's order, he wouldn't have come at all.

He became a human, but his soul remained that of a dog.

Therefore, he prefers to stay with his own kind, especially with an older brother to guide him, ensuring he has no worries about food and drink.

This kind of life was far more appealing to him than the so-called entry into the immortal sect.

What he didn't know was...

His good older brother, Gou An, was a dog, but his soul was that of a human!

With Lai Pi gone, order was restored, and the people in line continued to come forward one by one to test their talents.

His rascal-like physique and idiotic mind made him a laughingstock among the crowd.

However, Lai Pi doesn't mind this at all. Now he just wants to find his Gou Ge and continue living a life without worrying about food and drink.

Unfortunately, he has lost the keen sense of smell he had when he was a dog. The streets are full of people, and he can't find where Gou An is at all.

For a moment, he became anxious, calling out everywhere, "Brother Gou! Brother Gou..."

It attracted the attention of many people on the street.

The rascal only stopped when Gou An stepped forward from behind and covered his mouth.

Then Lai Pi was dragged along by Gou An, heading towards the outskirts of the city.

Once outside the city, Gou An found a secluded grove of trees and stopped to question him: "Didn't I send you to join a sect of immortals? Why did you come back?"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Lai Pi said, "Brother Gou, I can't bear to part with you."

"The elder wanted to take me back to the sect, but I didn't want to go. I just wanted to stay in front of Brother Gou, obey his orders forever, and be his lackey for life."

"Tell the truth!" Gou An snapped.

"They think I'm stupid, they don't want me!"

Lai Pi dared not continue lying and could only lower his head.

"Sigh!" Gou An sighed helplessly.

I wanted to get rid of this burden, but I didn't expect that I couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

If it weren't for the commotion caused by him calling out to him on the street, Gou An would have really wanted to just leave.

"Alright, alright, come with me!"

Gou An shook his head helplessly, while Lai Pi followed with a smile.

Hehe, I can freeload again.

"Brother Gou, where are we going again?"

After walking for a while, Lai Pi followed behind Gou An and asked him questions.

"Let's go back to the old courtyard first!" Gou An replied.

Gou An still has fifty spirit stones left unused, and plans to go to a safe place to use them up first.

If they can use this opportunity to break through to the sixth level of the demon beast realm and then return to the demon beast mountain range, they will have even more confidence.

After several days of travel.

Gou An returned to the courtyard he had been in before.

After pushing open the door and entering the courtyard, it was no different from when I left.

Gou An carefully sniffed the surroundings to make sure there were no other strange smells before he felt relieved.

"Stay at the door and don't come in without my permission!"

After giving Lai Pi a few words of advice, Gou An went straight into the alchemy room.

Lai Pi was very honest. He found a stool in the yard, sat down, and carefully watched the gate.

After entering the room, Gou An immediately took out all the spirit stones and poured them onto the table.

Looking at these glowing stones, Gou An was very excited.

I originally wanted to use it while I was in the city.

However, absorbing the spiritual energy of spirit stones would inevitably leak his own demonic energy, so Gou An endured it.

Now that we're back in a safe place, we can begin absorbing it.

Gou An first picked up a spirit stone, put it under his nose and took a deep breath.

The spiritual energy contained within the spirit stone was immediately extracted and poured into Gou An's body through his nose.

At the same time, Gou An closed his eyes to check, and sure enough, his demonic power was increasing just like last time.

One spirit stone increased the points by more than 300.

As the spiritual energy was completely absorbed, the spirit stone turned into an ordinary stone.

After throwing away the stone that had run out of spiritual energy, Gou An picked up another stone and began to absorb it.

Repeating this process, Gou An absorbed spiritual energy piece by piece, becoming increasingly excited as he watched his demonic power gradually rise.

When Gou An absorbed the thirty-seventh spirit stone, he finally accumulated 20,000 demon power points.

[Current Realm: Fifth Tier of Demon Beast]

[Demon Power Value: 20050/20000]

[Demonic power overflows, automatically triggering a realm breakthrough...]

As the breakthrough progressed, Gou An could clearly feel the power within his body increasing.

Once the breakthrough was complete, Gou An immediately closed his eyes again to check the information on the panel in his mind.

[Current Realm: Sixth-Tier Demon Beast]

[Demon Power Value: 50/50000]

"What?"

Gou An was greatly alarmed!

Why is it 50,000? What happened to the promised doubling?

From this perspective, after breaking through to the seventh level of a demon beast, it would probably require at least 150,000 resources to break through again!
