Liu Guanfeng looked at Moshuo and nodded, "This is the best. I'll leave now, and you take good care of Wolf Island here."
Seeing Liu Guanfeng about to leave, Moshuo immediately lay down on the ground, "Let me carry the master out."
Liu Guanfeng didn't hesitate and directly mounted Moshuo, who ran swiftly and steadily. Soon, they arrived at the cave entrance, where Moshuo howled at the sky. The entire wolf pack trembled in response. Immediately, four Wolf King's Guardians rushed out from below, followed by five or six hundred wild wolves. Behind Liu Guanfeng and Moshuo were another four Wolf King's Guardians and five or six hundred wild wolves, with countless more on either side.
This massive pack of wild wolves began to move towards the beach. Despite their numbers, they did not hinder their speed; all the wild wolves quickly cleared a path for Wolf King, Moshuo, and Liu Guanfeng. After about an hour, Liu Guanfeng finally saw the beach and that small boat.
When XP sensed a large number of wild wolves charging towards it, it was startled and immediately stood at the bow of the boat, watching intently in the direction of the forest. Meanwhile, Little Black seemed unfazed as it leisurely observed the anxious XP. XP's perception was limited, so it mostly relied on smell to identify things. However, Liu Guanfeng's scent was masked by thousands of wild wolves, so initially, XP did not notice Liu Guanfeng; it only knew that a large number of wild wolves were approaching.
Just as XP prepared to attack, the entire wolf pack suddenly stopped. The wild wolves responsible for clearing the way quickly moved aside, while Wolf King and Moshuo slowly emerged from the pack with Liu Guanfeng on its back.
Upon seeing Liu Guanfeng, XP was very happy and jumped off the small boat to pounce on him. Liu Guanfeng was equally delighted; after jumping off Moshuo, he quickly ran towards XP. When XP reached Liu Guanfeng, it transformed into Mount size. Liu Guanfeng smiled helplessly at XP's actions and mounted it directly. As he did so, XP shot a proud glance at Moshuo as if to say: "See? I am the master's Mount; you are just a substitute."
Liu Guanfeng gently patted XP's head and turned to Moshuo, saying, "Moshuo, you can go back now. Remember what you promised me."
"I won't forget, please take care, Master," Moshuo replied before glancing at XP and turning to lead its thousands of subordinates into the deep mountains, disappearing without a trace.
After Moshuo left, Liu Guanfeng said to XP, "Let's go back home now."
XP hopped onto the small boat with excitement. The two Lobster crew members were also very happy to see Liu Guanfeng return to the cabin. Liu Guanfeng waved at them, "Crew members, set sail."
Without hesitation, the two Lobsters pulled and pushed the small boat towards the open sea. They were thrilled because they could enjoy delicious food for several days again. For over a week while Liu Guanfeng had been in the mountains, the two Lobsters had been living on raw food. So seeing their master return with tasty offerings made them row with extra effort.
Sitting on the boat, Liu Guanfeng took out the Core of the Mutated Wolf King from his pocket. "Big Black," he said, "you also have lightning attributes; I wonder if you can absorb this Core?"
Little Black looked at the Core in Liu Guanfeng's hand and sensed the energy contained within it. Although it wasn't as powerful as its own Core, lightning attribute Cores were rare; being able to obtain one was already satisfying. Little Black nodded at Liu Guanfeng.
Seeing Little Black ready to absorb it without hesitation, Liu Guanfeng tossed it directly to Little Black: "Then go ahead and absorb it; after all, I haven't given you any gifts yet. Consider this your welcome gift from your junior."
Little Black did not say much in gratitude; it took a deep breath and directly inhaled Core from the air, chewing it like a jelly bean before swallowing it. Liu Guanfeng stared at Little Black in astonishment and asked, "Big Black, is this Core sweet?"
Little Black shook its head. "It doesn't have any flavor; I'm going to absorb the energy inside." After saying that, it lay down on the deck. Little Black slept for nearly two days. When it woke up, it felt quite pleased. Although it had not broken through to Divine Knight, it was not far from it. It had already reached the peak of Ninth Tier. Although there was still a small step left, Little Black knew that this small step was not easy to take.
A few days later, Liu Guanfeng returned to Four Sacred Islands. When he arrived, the other youths had also returned, each bringing their own fruits and Mounts.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng return, the youths came over to greet him. Qinglong walked directly up to Liu Guanfeng and patted him on the shoulder. "Not bad, kid! You've opened up another meridian; looks like you gained quite a bit this time!"
Liu Guanfeng chuckled lightly. "It's nothing much; I just absorbed a move from a Mutated Wolf King." His casual remark stunned the other youths. Absorbing a move and yet calling it "nothing much"?
The other youths looked at Liu Guanfeng as if he were a monster. Iron Bull exaggeratedly approached Liu Guanfeng and scrutinized him from all angles. "I say, Third Brother, are you human or a beast? How can you absorb someone else's move? And it's from an Eighth Rank Mutated Beast! Come on, tell me if that big move tastes good?"
"What? Do you want to try it too? If you want to experiment, I can show you that big move later; you can have a taste."
Upon hearing Liu Guanfeng's words, Iron Bull shrank his neck. "Forget it! Don't be fooled by my physique; I'm still human after all. But you, Third Brother, you're not in that category anymore. I just want to know what kind of beast you really are," Iron Bull said seriously while looking at Liu Guanfeng.
Without saying a word, Liu Guanfeng stepped back and swiftly circled around to Iron Bull's back and kicked him right in the rear, sending Iron Bull flying three or four meters away. After being kicked down like that, Iron Bull got up and dusted himself off while grumbling, "Why do you have to strike without warning? I was just speaking the truth. You can't speak honestly these days."
Liu Guanfeng couldn't be bothered with him and took Li Xiaohan's hand to talk about his feelings of longing.
Meanwhile, Zhuque gathered all the fruits brought back by everyone and returned to her room to start refining medicine. Since several youths had brought back varying quantities of magical beasts, they decided to go to Diaoyu Island to select some soldiers as their guards—this was promised by Qinglong and the other Four Masters before they left.
As for Liu Guanfeng, with the Eight Great Warriors by his side, he no longer needed guards. The strength of these eight individuals was rapidly increasing. Liu Guanfeng believed that it wouldn't be long before these eight youths would become his right-hand men like Bao Rui and others. As for the Mounts for these eight individuals, Liu Guanfeng already had plans in mind.
The strength of a Mount serving as his guard could not be too low. As for Bao Rui's second Mount, Liu Guanfeng had already thought it through as well. His brothers could never be replaced by an ordinary Mount; he would choose only the best.
After a month passed, Bao Rui and others completed their selection of guards and brought them back to Four Sacred Islands. The training of these guards was entrusted to Liu Guanfeng's Eight Great Warriors. All eight were trained in formations by Xuanwu and martial arts by Baihu, with both masters instilling the philosophy that the master's life is paramount during training. Therefore, the Eight Great Warriors were completely obedient to Liu Guanfeng and never even considered contradicting him.
Half a year passed since Liu Guanfeng and others returned to Four Sacred Islands. During this time, Zhuque's presence was hardly seen; Liu Guanfeng understood that she was busy refining pills and needed peace and quiet. Thus, he arranged for himself and others to stay near the seaside in Four Sacred Valleys, which took about twenty minutes to return to their residence at Four Sacred Beasts. This decision was made out of concern for Zhuque's work and was well-received by Four Sacred Beasts as they felt their disciple was considering them.
One morning six months later, when Liu Guanfeng woke up for his morning exercise, he suddenly caught a whiff of an unusual fragrance. Bao Rui and the other four companions accompanying him also noticed it. The group of youths exchanged glances before starting to follow the scent to discover what was causing it.
Although they had not eaten this kind of thing, just smelling the aroma made them feel refreshed, and the morning drowsiness disappeared in an instant. Under Liu Guanfeng's leadership, the group of youths began to walk toward the center of the Four Sacred Valleys, and the closer they got to the residence of the Four Sacred Beasts, the stronger the scent became.
When they finally arrived at the residence of the Four Sacred Beasts, they realized that the aroma was emanating from there, and the ultimate source was Zhuque's room.
"Could it be that the elixir has been refined?" Liu Guanfeng kept asking himself.
At that moment, Zhuque's door was pushed open, and a wave of rich fragrance rushed out. This aroma was a blend of enticing fruit scents, soothing herbal fragrances, and sweet honey notes. The group of youths standing at the door greedily inhaled, wishing they could collect all these scents to savor in their rooms later.
After the fragrance dissipated, the Four Sacred Beasts walked out from inside the room, laughing heartily. "Zhuque, did you see? This group of gluttons didn’t even need to be called; they came running on their own," said Bald Xuanwu.
With a few light laughs, the Four Sacred Beasts emerged from Zhuque's room. Upon seeing them, Liu Guanfeng and his group immediately bowed in greeting. Liu Guanfeng stepped forward and took Zhuque's hand, saying, "Vermilion Bird Master, what is that delightful smell? Has the elixir been refined?"
Zhuque nodded. "After half a year of effort, I finally refined the elixir, but there’s none for you."
Liu Guanfeng scratched his head. "I know; I was just drawn here by the fragrance. I thought it was something delicious." While Liu Guanfeng spoke casually, he felt overjoyed inside. If there was one thing that troubled him about going to the Four Sacred Islands, it was that over these years, Bao Rui and a few others had fallen too far behind in strength. If this continued for another ten or eight years, they would be of little use to him, let alone help him.
If he had to wait ten or eight years, Liu Guanfeng truly did not have that time; his parents and two older brothers were still imprisoned.
Zhuque waved her hand and took out four small bottles from her pocket. "Bao Rui, Copper Bull."
Upon hearing Zhuque call them, Bao Rui and Copper Bull stepped forward immediately. "You two share the Fire Attribute; among these four bottles, two contain ten Blazing Pills each, while the other two contain Fire Source Liquid. The Blazing Pill is for consumption, while the Fire Source Liquid should be placed in a bathtub for absorption through your skin. Remember to use both types of medicine simultaneously; this way, the Fire Source Liquid will help counteract some of the impact from the Blazing Pill. The impact from the Blazing Pill will also enhance your absorption of energy from the Fire Source Liquid in the bathtub. Use these two medicines every fifteen days; based on your current strength, you should be able to absorb for three days each time you take them. So after taking these two medicines, be prepared to rest in the bathtub for three days. You may go now." After explaining the effects and precautions to them, Zhuque dismissed them.
