Big Yellow hung its head helplessly.

The insect's poison was strong, but it could not kill the big yellow dog directly. Nonetheless, if the poison spread, it would not be able to survive despite its tough physique. Therefore, the suffering was inevitable.

As at this moment, Big Yellow blinked pitifully at Ou Yangming and stuck out its tongue to fawn over him.

Ou Yangming was exasperated. "How dare you belittle your opponent when it's a powerhouse from the Spiritual Realm? What were you doing if you weren't courting death?"

Big Yellow puffed hard as though it was admitting its mistake.

"This is a lesson for you. Since you won't die yet, continue to suffer slowly!"

The big yellow dog widened its eyes in disbelief, and it shouted, "Lil' Ming, what did you say? Are you not going to save me?"

Ou Yangming scoffed. He crossed his arms in front of his chest coldly.

Big Yellow rolled its eyes and quickly apologized, "I was wrong—I admit that I was wrong. I won't do it again!"

The poison could not kill it, but it made it feel awful. Similar to when a human got a virus or a cold, the feeling would make one feel like one would rather be dead, hence no living being would want to suffer for a long time.

Ou Yangming sighed. Seeing how unwell Big Yellow looked, he finally gave in. "Fine. You must remember your lesson today, or even God won't be able to save you!"

Big Yellow used to be an intelligent beast, but it gained pieces of top-notch equipment effortlessly because of Ou Yangming.

With help from the pieces of equipment, the big yellow could easily crush opponents that were even more powerful than it. Nevertheless, it might not be a good thing for it.

Ou Yangming turned his wrist and retrieved Ghost Mo's poisonous pill.

As soon as the item appeared, a black gas diffused into the air. It was the poisonous pill's spirit.

The black gas transformed into a centipede's appearance, then it spiraled Ou Yangming and released a cheerful aura.

Ou Yangming grinned. He was amazed as he sensed his spiritual interaction with the poisonous pill's soul. It turned out that the poisonous pill could give birth to wisdom, which was truly unbelievable. If he had not experienced this himself, he would not have believed this.

In actuality, there were extremely harsh conditions for treasures like the poisonous pill to generate wisdom.

The poisonous pill only succeeded because of the Poison Forest. Without absorbing plenty of Plant Poisonous Pills, it could not have stumbled upon such good luck.

"Big Yellow was poisoned, so see if you can suck out the poison inside its body," Ou Yangming ordered softly after he teased the poisonous pill's spirit for some time.

Since the fellow could absorb Plant Poisonous Pills, it definitely had the natural gift of sucking poison. The only thing was that Ou Yangming did not know if its innate ability could be applied on other living beings. If it was not impossible, it would be quite tricky to handle the poison inside Big Yellow's body.

After all, Ou Yangming was a blacksmith, not an alchemist.

The poisonous pill's spirit shook its body and went on top of Big Yellow's body as if it understood Ou Yangming.

Big Yellow looked strangely at the fellow, and it seemed like it was worried about putting its life in the spirit's hand. Even so, it lay on the ground obediently after it glanced at Ou Yangming.

After going around the big yellow dog, the poisonous pill's spirit landed on its nose all of a sudden.

The big yellow dog twitched its wet nose and could not help but sneeze when it sensed the abnormality.

As such, the spirit was blown away by a breeze, and it seemed to have turned blacker.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh, then he urged the spirit, "Quickly—stop dawdling."

"Screech…"

The poisonous pill's spirit made some noise, then it landed on Big Yellow's nose again. The centipede later aimed its head at the nose and released peculiar energy.

Big Yellow watched carefully at first, but it closed its eyes after a brief moment as it felt comfortable. Before long, a stream of black gas drifted out of its nostrils bit by bit, then it was absorbed by the poisonous pill's spirit.

The process was probably very enjoyable, or Big Yellow would not have had such an expression.

Some moments later, the spirit fluttered again and returned to Ou Yangming, whereas Big Yellow shook its body and regained its energy. The big yellow dog had a remarkable physique indeed, such that it naturally recovered after the poison was removed.

Having said that, it somewhat revered the poisonous pill's spirit

'If this fella's already so capable of removing poison, what if it poisons somebody?'

The lizard insect's poison could not kill Big Yellow, but the big yellow dog would not be confident about enduring the poison if it came from the poisonous pill's spirit.

As Ou Yangming gently tapped the poisonous pill with his finger, the spirit went inside compliantly. A centipede's mark was clearly floating above the pill, and its tiny eyes were particularly vivid. If one stared at it, one would be unable to extricate oneself.

Ou Yangming nodded satisfactorily and kept the poisonous pill.

It was certainly a treasure. If it was smithed into a piece of equipment, the equipment's quality would be enhanced for sure.

Afterward, Ou Yangming waved at Big Yellow with bright eyes and said, "Let's go back to take a look. Heh, I hope we'll be able to get some news from the fella that colluded with the Insects."

Big Yellow's eyes lit up. It barked and followed Ou Yangming back to the mountain behind the town with excitement.

The 2 parties were still confronting each other when they returned. However, Lu Zhenxie and his people were no longer arrogant. They looked gloomy and no longer showed an attitude as they only wanted to take the lizard's carcass away.

In spite of that, Teng Liangpeng and his people were not idiots. The lizard was killed by Ou Yangming's pet so theoretically, it should be his and the big yellow dog's trophy. If the elder and his people let the other party have the carcass, how could they explain to Ou Yangming and Big Yellow when they return?

Thus, Teng Liangpeng insisted on keeping the lizard insect's carcass here. Needless to say, nobody could tell if he was doing this out of a selfish intention.

While the 2 parties were still arguing, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow returned.

As soon as they appeared, the faces of Lu Zhenxie and Teng Liangpeng changed. Especially when they saw Big Yellow alive and kicking without showing any signs of being poisoned, they were even more shocked.

The big yellow dog was poisoned by the lizard's strong poison, after all, and it was an ultimate hit, so the insect must have gathered all of its poison.

Judging from Big Yellow's overpowering abilities, perhaps it would not be killed by the poison, but it would at least be immobilized for some time. Who knew, it showed up after a short while, and it did not seem like it was poisoned at all.

Ou Yangming's method to remove poison was truly astounding. At the very least, the rest of them could not have done it.

The young fellow looked around, then he nodded at Teng Liangpeng and said, "Elder Teng, this lizard offended my friend, so I'd like to take it away."

Teng Liangpeng laughed out loud and responded, "It's your trophy, so you have the right to handle it as you wish, of course."

"You can't!" Lu Zhenxie shouted with a dark face.

Ou Yangming turned to look with a smile. "Why not?"

Lu Zhenxie pursed his lips and replied to him, "Friend, you have no idea about his origin. If you'd like to take forcible possession of it, I'm afraid that you'll bring disaster upon yourself."

The young fellow was moved, and he had a higher expectation. Although Ghost-clawed Venerable One was the greatest powerhouse among the lizard insects in Danzhou, there were plenty of lizards around, hence not all of them were valued by it or recruited to be its followers.

After hearing what Lu Zhenxie said, Ou Yangming hoped that the dead lizard had a stronger backing.

He grinned and asked, "The lizard has been killed, so I've probably started a feud. Heh, will you pretend that nothing happened if I let go of its carcass?"

Lu Zhenxie was startled for some time. He flushed as he was speechless.

Perhaps he would let anyone else go, but how could he guarantee that he could let go of the lizard insect's murderer?

Ou Yangming no longer continued the conversation. He simply went forward and shook his hand to keep the lizard's carcass, which had been on the ground for a long time, into his interspatial bag.

Lu Zhenxie gritted his teeth and jumped out abruptly, then he yelled, "Friend, you can't take it away!"

"Why not? Do you have to explain to its senior?" Ou Yangming smirked.

Teng Liangpeng sneered as well and mocked Lu Zhenxie, "Brother Lu, did you really collude with the Insects?"

Lu Zhenxie would have admitted it if he was in another territory. However, the most formidable clan on this land had a bitter hatred for the Insects. They were irreconcilable enemies that could not coexist.

Hence, Lu Zhenxie was not going to admit the accusation. Nonetheless, he could not let Ou Yangming take the lizard's carcass away, so he made up his mind and suggested, "Friend, how about we make a bet, and the winner gets this carcass? What do you think?"

"This lizard was killed by Big Yellow, so it belongs to me. Who are you to use it for a bet?" Ou Yangming sneered. "If you'd like to make a bet, sure—you can bet with your life."

Lu Zhenxie's people were in an uproar. If Big Yellow was not looking at them fiercely, they would have attacked the young fellow already.

Teng Liangpeng looked like he was calm, but he was secretly alert. 'Ou Yangming's acting tough as if he's sure that he has the upper hand over Lu Zhenxie and his people. Is he also a potent Spirit Grade cultivator?'

He glanced at Big Yellow and became more certain.

Only an equal-ranked Spirit Grade cultivator could make the powerful spirit beast obey him.

Lu Zhenxie took a deep breath and uttered, "Your Excellency, don't go too far!"

Ou Yangming chuckled and questioned, "What are you going to bet with?"

"I'll bet with this. What do you think?" Lu Zhenxie responded sternly after some thought.

He retrieved an interspatial bag and placed it on the ground.

Teng Liangpeng's eyes gleamed at once. He looked at the interspatial bag in astonishment and covetously.

"Lu Zhenxie, where did you… Get this interspatial bag?"
