The autumn sky looked extraordinarily clear. The air was also a lot cooler.

There were not many people going up the hill at this hour. It was very quiet on the mountain roads. Wang Yao walked a little quicker as well.

His footsteps felt a bit strange. This was the type of footstep recorded in Quan Jing. It may have felt strange, but he was moving extremely fast. In his body, his breath was like a surging river.

Unknown to him, his speed became faster and faster. The dust was blowing under his feet. Wherever he passed by, the shape of a dragon was formed.

On the hill, it was even more refreshing in the Spirit-gathering battle array.

“San Xian?”

Lying in its kennel, the dog turned its head to have a look and it ignored Wang Yao.

“What’s going on?”

Wang Yao smiled and went over to stroke San Xian’s head.

“Hey, what’s this?!”

He was surprised to find an egg under the dog’s stomach in its kennel. The egg was intact.

Wang Yao picked it up and looked at it carefully.

This was an egg of a wild chicken.

“San Xian, where did you get this from?”

Woof, woof. San Xian barked a few times.

“What do you want to do? Eat a fried egg?”

The dog gave a scornful look. Lifting its paws, it pointed at the egg and pointed at its own stomach.

“Could it be that you’re trying to hatch it?” Wang Yao was completely dumbfounded.

Woof, woof. The dog nodded.

“You’re a dog. You’re a mammal. You’re viviparous, not oviparous. Wait, how do you know how to hatch eggs? Who taught you? I’m confiscating it!” Wang Yao directly confiscated the egg of the wild chicken. “San Xian, remember, you’re a dog. Dogs can’t hatch eggs. Dogs can’t fly too!” Wang Yao stroked San Xian’s head and did not care if it understood him or not.

Growl. The dog seemed to be reluctant. It was growling with a low pitch.

Wang Yao smiled despite the growl and went into the cottage. He picked up the Sang Yao Medical Book and continued to study it. While he was reading, he heard a movement outside. He then got up and saw that the dog had come out of its kennel. It quivered for a bit, exited the battle array and went up the hill.

Where is this dog going?

Wang Yao got up and followed the dog. His movements were very light. However, no matter how light they were, they could not be hidden from the dog’s ears. After a while, the dog heard a sound from behind. It then turned around and saw a tree. Wang Yao had climbed up the tree.

Damn! Its vigilance is pretty high!

The dog continued to go up the hill and Wang Yao fell far behind.

From afar, he saw that the dog had stopped at a place at the back of the hill. It then quietly laid down.

What’s going on?

Wang Yao went closer. The dog turned around and glanced at him.

Poop-picker, you’re really tracking me, huh? Where’s the trust between humans and dogs?

Eh?

Wang Yao was startled.

He saw a nest of eggs on the peak of the rock in between the two mountain rocks. A chicken was crouching above the eggs.

“Sss, so this is how you learned how to hatch it?” Wang Yao asked the dog beside him.

Woof.

“Well, your observation is very detailed and your idea is very bold,” Wang Yao stroked the dog’s head. “However, you’re a dog.”

Wang Yao felt that it was necessary for him to correct the ideology of the dog, but he did not know how.

Suddenly, there was a rustle.

The wild chicken which was hatching the eggs became alert. The dog had also pricked up his ears and began to stare in the direction of the sound.

A weasel leaped out from behind the weeds.

There still is such a thing on the hill? Wang Yao was stunned. It is the chicken’s natural predator!

The wild chicken flew away and did not have the time to care about the eggs in the nest.

Swoosh. The dog suddenly dashed forward and went straight for the weasel. The dog was extremely fast. It was in front of the weasel in an instant and held the weasel down with its paws.

Huh? What’s going on?

The weasel was obviously astounded.

Where did this stupid dog come from?

The dog bit the weasel. With a swoosh and a smash, the weasel suddenly fell onto the rock. Then, it collapsed on the ground.

Then, something even more miraculous happened. The dog leaped up nearly two meters high and climbed straight up the mountain rock. It looked at the eggs in the nest carefully and sniffed them.

The wild chicken bawked anxiously on the mountain rock.

The dog lifted its head and looked at the wild chicken. Then, it jumped down, turned around and stopped in front of the unlucky weasel. It bit the weasel hard. This was a fatal injury. The weasel’s blood was flowing out.

This was an unexpected calamity!

After confirming that the weasel had died, the dog then seemed at ease.

Wang Yao was behind the dog. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he was.

The dog’s body was growing bigger and bigger. It was gradually becoming like a calf. Its body was not just big, but the key thing was, its thoughts were very peculiar. Could he have raised something more than a dog?

So, in the afternoon, Wang Yao brewed a cup of tea and sat in the small courtyard.

“San Xian, come here.”

The dog came out of its kennel and crouched down beside Wang Yao.

“Let me talk to you…”

Wang Yao rarely activated his “Xuanzang” mode. He did not even care that the big dog beside him was looking up, sticking out its tongue, and grinding its teeth at times.

A fly was buzzing around.

Caw. In the sky, a black shadow hovered for a few turns and descended. It then stood on the branch.

The hawk’s feathers were very glossy. Its head had also gotten slightly bigger. The look in its eyes was as sharp as a blade.

“Look at Hero. It always remembers that it’s a hawk, an overlord in the sky. You’re a dog, not a chicken that hatches eggs,” Wang Yao said earnestly.

There was a rustle again.

It was the tiny snake that Wang Yao rescued. It was already as thick as a baby’s arms.

Its growth rate was also extremely abnormal.

After seeing Wang Yao, the snake moved towards him and circled around him for a few times. Then, it slipped away.

“Tsk, why do they all seem to be becoming a goblin?”

Wang Yao brought up the system panel and found out that the task’s current estimation had changed. It had reached 40. He still needed 10 more people and he had only five days left.

…

In a research institute somewhere in Hu City.

“How is it?”

“We took a portion of it for testing. Some of the drug compositions can be determined. We can analyze which medicinal herbs they come from, but there are some which we aren’t able to determine. Where did you get this pill from?”

“It doesn’t matter. Can it be replicated?”

“The composition can’t even be analyzed thoroughly. How can it be possible to replicate it?”

“Give it a try again. The effect of this medicine is incredible.”

“It is incredible. We’ve analyzed that there are five types of valuable medicinal herbs in it, such as ginseng and glossy ganoderma. The proportion of the herbs must be done very ingeniously. Therefore, its effect will be very impressive as well.”

…

Being on the go for thousands of miles, Professor Lu returned home, fatigued.

He was still an aged person. He would still feel a little unwell after a long car ride. He initially wanted to stay with Han Wan in Lianshan County for a few days, but something happened suddenly at home, so he rushed back.

“What’s wrong? You didn’t say anything on the phone.”

His house was very close to Tongji University in Hu City. His house was decorated in an antique Chinese style. Sitting in the living room, his wife was lost in thought. She seemed to be in her fifties and she took care of herself very well. She was a beautiful woman when she was younger.

“Father went for a physical examination today. There’s a tumor in his brain,” his wife said.

“What?!” Professor Lu was dumbfounded. “Weren’t the results of his physical examination last time good? Is it benign, at least?”

“It’s malignant!”

Upon hearing the word, Professor Lu was nailed to the spot.

The word was equivalent to a death penalty. It was just a matter of how long it could be postponed.

“Does Father know?”

“I haven’t told him.”

“What did the doctor say?”

“He recommended conservative treatment. Father is old. It’ll be too risky for him to undergo a surgery.”

“Conservative treatment.” Professor Lu paced back and forth.

“Oh right, how’s Wan’s illness?”

“There’s some effect. We originally wanted to stay there for a few days, but I rushed back after I received your call.” Professor Lu sat down and drank a glass of water. “Oh right, where are the records of the examination? Let me have a look.”

Professor Lu then took a photo of the records.

“Why, do you want to show it to Dr. Wang?” His wife guessed his thoughts upon seeing the situation.

“Yes. I’ll let him have a look.”

Professor Lu gave Wang Yao a call and explained the situation.

“Okay. Send it to me. I’ll have a look,” Wang Yao who was on the other end of the phone said.

It’s another malignant tumor.

After hanging up, Wang Yao was thinking about this matter as well.

A few of his acquaintances had looked for him recently. They all came for their family members and their illnesses were rare and similar.

Should I focus on this for the following period of time?

…

In Lianshan County.

Hahaha. Ah!

A hearty and a somewhat crazy laugh was heard from the inside of a residence.

“Sss, what’s going on?”

“It’s Chen, right?”

“Yes, it’s him. Could he have suffered from a mental shock? He and his wife have always been quarrelling lately. I heard that they’re about to get divorced.”

“Sigh. A shame. I think Chen is a pretty good guy.”
