"Ow-woo—"

Xiao Tian groveled before Gongsun Qingyue, ready to serve his new mistress with the loyalty of a dog or horse.

He already had Jiang Li's consent, and well, a spiritual medicine that came to his mouth was not to be wasted. From today onwards, he, Xiao Tian, would be a double-agent dog.

He would be an informant for Gongsun Qingyue, while also undercover for Jiang Li, passing on only the information that Jiang Li wished to convey.

"Not bad."

Gongsun Qingyue, sitting by the pond, saw the dog's grasp of the situation and was not stingy. She reached out, took a Vermilion Fruit, and handed it to Xiao Tian, "This is yours."

The red puppy, upon seeing this, was ready to feast, but before he could open his mouth, the starlight chain around his neck suddenly tightened.

"But remember, Jiang Li is still your master, and you must not harbor any thoughts of betrayal. You may eat my spiritual medicine, but if you dare to touch the things from those women in the Kunxu Immortal Palace, well..."

Gongsun Qingyue chuckled softly, her fingers applying slight pressure, deforming the Vermilion Fruit slightly, "You should know the consequences."

Xiao Tian blinked repeatedly upon hearing this, nodding like mad, making it clear he understood.

A helpless, indescribable look shone in his pair of red pupils.

You were the one tempting this dog to be an informant, and yet you also want it not to betray its master. Perhaps, this is what's called 'love'.

On one hand, they wanted the dog to be an informant, but once the dog actually became one, concern for its loyalty arose, worrying it might revert to the Kunxu Immortal Palace one day.

In response, Xiao Tian could only think that although it was a dog, it knew what was important. Switching to a new master again would make it what the master commonly referred to as a 'servant of three surnames,' wouldn't it?

Seeing Xiao Tian nodding like this, Gongsun Qingyue's expression lightened slightly, but still felt that the dog's agreement was too quick, and its loyalty was somewhat doubtful.

'In the future, I'll have to add another restriction to it.'

With that thought, Gongsun Qingyue released the spell controlling the starlight chain, and at the same time stuffed the Vermilion Fruit into Xiao Tian's mouth.

"If I weren't afraid of Jiang Li hooking up with that hooved scoundrel, why would I bother with all this?"

She sighed softly, preparing to give Xiao Tian a lesson after he finished eating, to make him remember.

However, just at that moment, a red light suddenly rose from behind the pond, and a hot breath formed a vigorous airflow, dispelling the night's chill.

Ripples stirred across the vast pond, and the Divine Farmer Stone Statue standing in the center slightly swayed. The Ochre Whip in its hands lost its former simplicity and emitted an astonishing aura.

"Junior brother has arrived," Gongsun Qingyue murmured softly.

This was the Ochre Whip resonating with the presence of another heavy treasure of the Jiang family, creating a harmony between them.

She raised her hand and cast a spell, causing divination patterns to appear and turn slightly, dispersing the mist that shrouded the island, and allowing a golden light to enter from outside the island.

Nearing them, a sun-like halo appeared, with a silhouette faintly visible within.

Jiang Li, with a small yet substantial bronze cauldron floating above his hand, approached along the path, his surrounding halo growing more intense, nearly transforming him into a sun.

Meanwhile, in the center of the pond, anomalies abounded, revealing the shadows of Hundred Herbs, the Ochre Whip vibrating, and the mechanism of life and extinction alternately manifesting.

As the two auras met, Jiang Li felt an intense heat surge through his body, his blood flowing like molten rock, his heart pumping vigorously, and all nine of his Qi Seas producing a tremendous force.

Taking two steps in place of three, he quickly approached but stopped at the edge of the pond, saying, "Senior sister, I'll take the Ochre Whip first."

Gongsun Qingyue, who had a cold expression when she saw Jiang Li approaching, found it hard to maintain her composure upon hearing his request.

The Third Grade Daoist Artifact, Ochre Whip, was just ahead, and the Jiang family's rightful heirloom was about to be grasped—even their bloodline pulsed in anticipation, yet they still paused to say this to her.

It was just this one sentence that revealed the paper tiger nature of Gongsun Qing Yue once again.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Can't you even tell what's more important?" Gongsun Qing Yue turned her head away, urging.

"It's precisely because I can differentiate priorities that I'm stopping," came the reply.

[Jiang Li laughed heartily, stepped into the pool of water, and finally, Gongsun Qing Yue couldn't help but blush.]

[He has me in his heart.]

[That's probably what Gongsun Qing Yue was thinking in her heart.]

After a long absence, Jiang Li had resorted to a rather underhanded trick using the Karma Collection to tease her, achieving satisfying results. Ahead, the red light grew more dazzling, and the breath that shared his origin coated the Divine Farmer Stone Statue with a layer of light and shadow, making it look lifelike as if Divine Farmer himself had descended.

The Innate Qi within him surged from his acupoints, wrapping around the bronze cauldron in his palm, and strands of Primordial Qi permeated into it, deepening their connection. The Divine Farmer's Cauldron, which was originally only usable as a backup energy source and secret tome, now finally felt like it could be commanded.

The supremely yang, supremely firm, and supremely hot breath contracted and expanded within the cauldron, eventually condensing a Sun Wheel at the top, with the phantom of a Three-legged Golden Crow appearing inside it.

And ahead, the radiance of the Ochre Whip intensified, an influx of information entered Jiang Li's mind, unraveling in a form he could comprehend.

[Third Grade Dao Fruit: Emperor·Shennong]

[Category: Human-God]

[Fitting Conditions: Fourth-rank Human Attribute Dao Fruit, Human Race, Possessor of Emperor Yan's Bloodline]

[Promotion Ceremony: Accomplish a deed that will influence the Human Race for over five thousand years]

[Divine Skills: Hundred Herbs Recognition, Ancestor of Pharmacology, Fire Cultivation, Primordial Human (incomplete), Fire Virtue World, Earth Nourishes All Things, Time of Communication, Dividing the land's benefits]

The Dao Fruit within the Ochre Whip finally opened up most of its information to Jiang Li, also signifying that his fitting with the Ochre Whip far exceeded that of the past.

It was this Promotion Ceremony…

Jiang Li finally understood why the Jiang family had no one who could contain the Emperor Yan Shennong Dao Fruit. Even though it was split into two third grade Dao Fruits, the difficulty of the Promotion Ceremony was still despairingly high.

On one hand, representing divinity, it required Heavenly and Man Respect. That level, even if not unifying the entire world, was probably not far off.

On the other hand, representing humanity, one needed to make an impact on the Human Race for five thousand years, which was probably even more difficult than the divinity aspect.

Looking back through history, how many people have managed to do that?

The vast majority who left their mark in history are merely remembered by name; their deeds continued to be passed down, but to say their achievements affected the Human Race for five thousand years…

After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, has there been such a person?

Perhaps there have been, after all, Jiang Li wasn't an expert in history, but he was certain that there were definitely not many, one could even count them on one hand.

And now, it was Jiang Li who faced this daunting challenge.

He pondered, if he could achieve Heavenly and Man Respect and make an impact for five thousand years, he would at least be of third grade, or even second grade, right? But by then, how would he be able to contain the Dao Fruit?

"So the Emperor Yan's Dao Fruit is like this, the Yellow Emperor's Dao Fruit's difficulty must also not be low. I finally understand why neither the Ji Family nor the Jiang family has anyone who could contain the ancestral Dao Fruits,"

Jiang Li sighed at length.

Because it was impossible.
