When Qin Tian first saw this adorable little creature, he thought its bones were unique and its appearance extraordinary, suspecting it might be a new Qilin Divine Beast.

Now, seeing the little guy even going after the white goat, he was at a loss for words, standing there with a wry smile, chuckling involuntarily.

The little creature was mingling with the herd of goats and deer, seemingly enjoying itself. It chased a few kids and fawns, and upon catching them, rode them earnestly, moving its waist in a perfectly committed manner, reminiscent of the Poodle Qin Tian had seen before.

Poodle? The legendary, irrepressible, everything-conquering Poodle?

Qin Tian watched the little one from afar, its movements steady, its style ”elegant,” and muttered to himself with a faint smile, ”Not bad, not bad at all. I like it, haha.”

”Now I don’t even need to ask if you’re male or female. Your actions have told me already.”

”Hmm, a name... what should I name you? Though you’re not a Poodle, you’ve got the Poodle’s spirit, so I’ll call you Atai.”

Watching Atai making the white goat run chaotically, Qin Tian waved him over and laughed, ”Atai, that’s enough. You’re not the same kind. Let’s go, let’s go.”

The little creature seemed to have been lonely for a long time and was having too much fun to listen to Qin Tian. Helpless, Qin Tian used his True Qi, flashed over, and scooped it up with one hand.

”Atai, from now on, you’re called Atai, got it?”

Qin Tian said to Atai, ”Let’s go home… Oh crap! Are you even humping me?”

While Qin Tian was speaking to Atai, Atai was still maintaining that action in his arms, leaving Qin Tian utterly stunned!

”Impressive, really impressive. Usually, I’m the one... now you’re... do you believe I can turn you into an eunuch? You little rascal!”

Qin Tian wasn’t angry. He burst into laughter, twirling Atai around before leaping up and using his Sword Control Technique to head back to the camp with Atai.

”Boss, you’re finally back… Hey, what’s this? Did you bring a Demon Beast back with you?”

Inside the military camp of the East State Mountain Range, seeing Qin Tian and Atai joking and laughing as they walked back together, Xiao Zhuang and the others were dumbfounded.

”Its fur is all red. What breed is it?”

”Looks like a dog, but doesn’t? What kind of Demon Beast is it?”

”Boss, where did you catch it?”

Xiao Zhuang and others gathered around, teasing Atai.

Qin Tian introduced it solemnly, ”Brothers, this Divine Beast is named Atai, and someday, it’ll be my ride once it grows up.”

As Qin Tian spoke, he glared at Atai, laughing, ”You still dare to make that move on me? Listen up, it will be me riding you in the future. Don’t be irreverent... Heh heh...”

While speaking, Qin Tian patted Atai’s head. Atai gazed at Qin Tian with a pitiful look, seemingly understanding his words.

Everyone played with Atai for a while before heading back to the tent to discuss serious matters.

Qin Tian briefly explained his situation at the Nine Heavens Holy Hall to Xiao Zhuang, though he didn’t mention the heavier matters like meeting and confronting Long Tianwu.

”Lao San, Lao Zhao, we can pull back the scouts we have deployed around the East State Mountain Range.”

Qin Tian said to Xiao Zhuang and Zhao Lanjin.

”Pull them back? Why?” Xiao Zhuang and Zhao Lanjin were both taken aback.

Zhao Lanjin said, ”Boss, the Dragon Clan army is still confronting Sea City’s troops with no movement. I think it’s better if we don’t pull back.”

Qin Tian shook his head, ”Withdraw them. We’re not accomplishing anything here.”

Seeing their confused looks, Qin Tian explained, ”When I was at the Nine Heavens Holy Hall, I saw a group from the Dragon Clan. They seemed to be there for the artifacts as well. I didn’t alert them, and in the end, I didn’t know if they got the artifacts.”

”However, from my observations, especially seeing their level of tension and focus on the matter, I can conclude that this entire invasion of the East State by the Dragon Clan army very well might be about the treasures in the Nine Heavens Holy Hall.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhuang and Zhao Lanjin exchanged glances. Xiao Zhuang said, ”For a single artifact, mobilize an army of hundreds of thousands and risk the fragile truce between the Dragon Clan and Tianyuan Dynasty? Is the artifact that important?”

Qin Tian shook his head, ”I don’t know. Like I said, this thing even alarmed the Ninth Prince and Second Prince of the Imperial City.”

At these words, Xiao Zhuang and Zhao Lanjin immediately realized the artifact’s significance.

Zhao Lanjin said, ”According to Boss’s speculation, are you saying the Dragon Clan, after obtaining the artifact from the Nine Heavens Holy Hall, would retreat?”

Qin Tian said, ”If they didn’t get the artifact, they would retreat. If they did, they have two options: either retreat or push forward to test the artifact’s power. But regardless, they likely won’t bring their army over the East State Mountain Range again.”

”Is the artifact really that powerful?” Xiao Zhuang murmured.

Though some things were still unclear to them, their curiosity remained, and two days later, Qin Tian gathered everyone he had brought out.

Another day went by, and Zhou Yang and Lin Yu arrived at the camp with a squad of dozens of men.

Along with them, they brought four True Qi Cannons.

When Qin Tian saw the shape of the True Qi Cannons, he was taken aback, ”Isn’t this just like the cannons we’ve seen before… Tsk tsk, Old Zhou, looks like you’ve figured out the True Qi Cannon?”

Zhou Yang laughed, ”After overcoming the vital material hurdle, everything went smoothly. I utilized all the materials and developed four True Qi Cannons. Lin Yu and I brought them here overnight on Flying Beasts. Due to the special material, they can’t be stored in a Storage Bag, haha, I had no choice.”

”Special material?” Xiao Zhuang curiously asked, ”Old Zhou, what material did you use to make the True Qi Cannon?”

Zhou Yang explained, ”The True Qi Cannon uses True Qi Power to condense its shells, so the impact is tremendous. When firing a True Qi Bombshell, the barrel of the cannon also requires a certain spiritual affinity with the True Qi Bombshell. I experimented with over a hundred materials before finally finding success using a method combining Outer Realm Star Iron with Spiritual Medicine.”

”However, my supply of Outer Realm Star Iron was quite limited, so I only made four True Qi Cannons. This time, I brought them to test their power.”

As Zhou Yang explained, Qin Tian and the others were already giving him thumbs up: ”Impressive, truly a master instructor, truly a weapon master. Curious about the power of these True Qi Cannons!”
