Zhang Lin looked at those things, his eyes flickering with an unusual emotion.

He opened his mouth, but the words in his throat still weren't spoken; in the end, he helplessly shook his head with regret.

Yang Zhu, things, rare treasures and strange gems, ancestors

"Yes." Zhang Lin nodded, his thoughts surging like a tide, as if recalling the past.

Beginningless Scripture, golden blood qi, divine patterns, surface of blood qi

At this moment, divine light shimmered within the bitter sea, magnificent beyond compare; golden waves surged like tens of thousands of troops galloping, accompanied by a fierce tsunami and thunderclaps, deafening! In this miraculous vision, the spiritual sea flowed with rosy light, bursting forth with vigorous vitality; the person's aura surpassed that of the ancient holy body by an unknown degree! "Indeed worthy of a holy body dao fetus, probably not inferior to the great emperor in his prime!"

The Big Black Dog was astonished by this aura, sighing in admiration, as if it saw the youth Wu Shi's mighty back.

Yang Zhu circulated his blood, just to ensure everything was foolproof, avoiding any mishap the moment before cutting the stone mill.

Golden qi and blood covered the millstone, sealing its qi, and then Yang Zhu raised his hand and dropped his blade—the millstone was instantly cut apart.

Inside the millstone was a bowl‑sized depression holding a pool of green liquid, crystal clear and flawless like mutton‑fat jade.

A rich fragrance spread, filling the whole space; just a light inhale and one's mind and body feel refreshed.

"Good stuff!"

The moment the green liquid came into view, the Big Black Dog's pupils contracted, its eyes flooded with heat, and drool unintentionally streamed down like a small creek.

"Mine, all of it belongs to This King!"

"It lunged forward with its mouth open, wanting to gulp down the green liquid in one go—how could it let such a treasure slip away?"

Fortunately Yang Zhu was quick‑eyed and quick‑handed, grabbing the dog by the scruff and flinging it away.

Thereafter he gave the greedy Big Black Dog a harsh glance; the dog barely regained a shred of senses, and its spirit collapsed.

If it were Ye Fan instead, this guy would surely launch a mortal war between man and dog, fighting to the death, insisting on getting a share no matter what.

But facing Yang Zhu, it wouldn't dare to open its mouth even with ten times the courage, after all its status is clear.

Moreover, with Yang Zhu's methods, although he wouldn't actually kill it, making it suffer is still easy.

Yang Zhu cut out the whole bowl‑sized section and used it as a container for storage.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The Big Black Dog turned into a black shadow and shot off into the distance; soon after Yang Zhu heard a mournful howl.

New book seeking support, thank you.
