Crack!
After leaving the auction house, Ye Feng casually popped a Pure Profound Pill into his mouth. Since it was meant to cleanse impurities from the body, eating it shouldn't be a problem. Besides, it was just a spendthrift item, so he might as well treat it like a snack.
Hmm?
At that moment, Ye Feng noticed a small stray dog lying weakly by the roadside, looking at him pitifully. With a sigh, he walked over to the little dog.
"Puppy, I just did a quick calculation and found that we are destined to be together. From now on, you can follow me."
With that, Ye Feng bought some buns from a nearby stall.
"Eat up, have as much as you want."
Watching the little yellow dog devour the food, Ye Feng thought to himself, "I wonder if the people in this world would break down if they realized they're living worse than a dog."
Indeed, Ye Feng had just realized how tiring it was to consume so many pills. Even if he called on Junior Brother Wufeng, the beautiful master, and laborer Old Bai, it would still be exhausting to eat all ten thousand Pure Profound Pills. Their jaws would probably give out soon.
But now, with the little yellow dog, ten thousand pills were no longer a problem. Even if more pills appeared as spendthrift items in the future, he wouldn't have to worry anymore.
After the little yellow dog was full, it affectionately rubbed its little head against Ye Feng's pant leg.
"Come on, let's get you a bath, and then you can start working for me."
Ye Feng laughed heartily and headed towards a nearby restaurant with the little yellow dog.
"Sir, you can't bring your dog into the restaurant."
The waiter quickly approached with a polite smile when he saw Ye Feng entering with the dirty little yellow dog.
"Name your price in spirit stones. I want a premium room to give my dog a bath."
Ye Feng said nonchalantly.
In the end, Ye Feng spent ten thousand low-grade spirit stones to book a premium room in the restaurant and successfully brought the little yellow dog inside.

Inside the room.
Ye Feng watched the little yellow dog frolic in the large bath barrel, feeling helpless. He had spent ten times the usual price on the room, yet the system didn't recognize it as a spendthrift behavior.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get clean. Once you're done, get to work. If it weren't for you, I would have earned another hundred spendthrift points."
Seeing the little yellow dog ignoring him, Ye Feng thought he must find something to awaken its spiritual intelligence; otherwise, this dog was just too damn stupid.
Ten minutes later, after the bath, Ye Feng tossed a handful of Pure Profound Pills onto the ground.
"A dumb dog is a dumb dog, not even caring if these are poison."
Watching the little yellow dog gobble up the pills, Ye Feng was satisfied to have found a free labor dog.
The pill's power continuously purified impurities from the little yellow dog's body.
As the little yellow dog consumed more Pure Profound Pills, its body became increasingly pure. Eventually, even strands of spiritual energy from the heavens and earth began to merge into its body.

Such a situation had likely never occurred on the entire Xuanqing Continent.
After all, not everyone could possess a Nine-Pattern Pure Profound Pill, even if it was just third-grade. Moreover, no spendthrift would feed such precious pills, hundreds or thousands of them, to an ordinary little yellow dog!
***
An hour later.
"Hey! Puppy, get up and keep eating. You've only eaten a bit over two thousand pills and you're slacking off?"
Seeing the little yellow dog fall asleep on the ground, Ye Feng was furious. It had only eaten a bit over two thousand pills!
Moreover, he noticed that before the little yellow dog fell asleep, it looked at the pile of Pure Profound Pills with a human-like disdain, as if it had eaten its fill and was no longer interested.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to keep wandering. The dog's asleep, so I'll sleep too. Being a spendthrift tycoon is exhausting."
Ye Feng glanced at the sleeping little yellow dog, then lay down on the comfortable bed and fell asleep. Without sleeping, he didn't know what else to do, and he didn't want to go out and deliberately look for places to spend. That was too foolish; he wanted to act naturally.
As a cultivator, going days without sleep or sleeping for days wasn't an issue. Ye Feng was grateful to be a powerful Qi Motion Realm ninth-level peak expert, at least able to sleep whenever he wanted.
Since Ye Feng lacked a spiritual root and couldn't sense the spiritual energy around him, he had no idea that while the little yellow dog slept, spiritual energy from the heavens and earth was continuously and slowly entering its body.
At this moment, the little yellow dog was evolving from an ordinary beast to a demon beast, relying solely on itself without any bloodline assistance. Without a powerful demon beast bloodline, its future potential would depend on Ye Feng.

While Ye Feng slept soundly, the auction at the Tianyu Auction House had already begun.
"You are really lucky. I didn't expect that while bringing you to buy some spirit herbs for regular alchemy, we'd encounter a Nine-Pattern Pure Profound Pill that has never appeared before.
These two third-grade Nine-Pattern Pure Profound Pills will be immensely beneficial to you both. No matter the cost today, I will help you acquire them."
In a private box on the second floor, Luo Qianxue spoke with a calm expression, while Leng Wufeng was extremely grateful and relieved that his strength was just at the Spirit Fusion Realm ninth-level peak. If he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would have no chance with these third-grade Nine-Pattern Pure Profound Pills.
Cleansing impurities from the body was akin to reforging one's foundation, extremely important for cultivators. However, few alchemists could refine Pure Profound Pills. It wasn't due to a lack of recipes, but because there were too many details to consider during refinement. If they couldn't achieve five patterns, the effects were negligible.

In a teahouse.
"Old Xia, I finally came for a visit, and you were out all morning."
Seeing his old friend return, Old Bai couldn't help but tease.
"Old Bai, let me tell you, I just received two special pills at the branch auction house in Zifeng City.
Third-grade Pure Profound Pills, do you know how many patterns?"
Xia Tianyu, dressed in a white alchemist robe, looked at Bai Tianhong with a mysterious expression.
"Pure Profound Pills? For you to spend all morning, they must be above seven patterns.
Were they refined by those old fellows?"
After a moment of contemplation, Bai Tianhong shared his guess.
"Nine patterns! And there are two of them!
I don't know who refined them, but a young man brought them to the auction house for sale.
I personally examined them. Those two Pure Profound Pills are perfect, almost reaching the ideal ten-pattern state."
As he spoke, Xia Tianyu couldn't help but show admiration. As a ninth-grade alchemist himself, he was eager to witness the miraculous refinement techniques of the person who crafted these pills.
Hmm?
Hearing Xia Tianyu's words, for some reason, Bai Tianhong's mind suddenly conjured the image of Ye Feng.
