All you have to do is lie down and I'll do the rest.

Langya Palace, in front of the towers and pavilions.

An old man wearing a long robe embroidered with hundreds of beast patterns was squatting on the floor, holding the scruff of a white cat's neck with his left hand and pointing his right hand's fingers like a sword, poking around the white cat's body.

The white cat being held in the old man's hand originally had fur as flawless as white jade. But now it was covered in dots of blood stains. As steam rose from its body, it would let out the occasional whimper that tugged at one's heartstrings.

"Dr. Sun, when will you be able to cure my general?"

Su Qiluo squatted to the side, anxiously wiping away her tears. The beast park's curator Dr. Sun Xiang, however, remained completely calm.

"Little miss, don't worry. Not only will this cat of yours avoid falling ill, it will even benefit from this disaster!"

"This old man is currently using the secret methods of my Ganzhi Beast Control Sect to scatter the medicinal power of the Blood Qi Pill throughout the four limbs and hundred bones of your cat."

"It's just like when you usually cultivate. Only difference is, while you cultivate and refine the medicinal power by yourself, your cat is now absorbing the medicinal power of the Blood Qi Pill with this old man's assistance."

"After going through this, not only will your cat become more lively and vigorous, it'll also be more playful than before!"

As Sun Xiang spoke, he also helped Du ke regulate the medicinal power in its body.

Yun Shan also said to the side, "Little miss, don't worry!"

"This Ganzhi Beast Control Sect was once a famously renowned beast control sect within our Long Life Celestial Dynasty. Its disciples can control beasts as easily as moving their own limbs."

"What's more, the cultivation methods they pass down are specially created for raising, nurturing and controlling beasts. This time, your white cat general will definitely be able to turn danger into safety and benefit from this disaster."

Hearing Yun Shan's words, Su Qiluo couldn't help but sniffle as she looked at Sun Xiang hopefully.

"Dr. Sun, is this true?"

"Naturally." Sun Xiang nodded with a smile. "Otherwise, this old man wouldn't have come here either."

"Also, little miss, haven't you always been worried about helping your white cat general cultivate?" Yun Shan distracted Su Qiluo's attention to the side. "Who knows, Dr. Sun might have a way!"

With Yun Shan's prompting, Su Qiluo's attention immediately shifted to how to help Du ke start cultivating the Dao.

The guilt and self-blame she felt for mistakenly feeding Du ke the Blood Qi Pill also lessened slightly.

"Dr. Sun, do you have a way?" Su Qiluo looked at him eagerly.

Facing Su Qiluo's hopeful gaze, Sun Xiang looked at Yun Shan. As Yun Shan nodded with a smile, the old man also said, "I do!"

"That's wonderful! Dr. Sun, you must help my white cat general cultivate!"

"That shouldn't be difficult. But I'm currently the beast park's curator, so I'm afraid I won't have time to spare."

"I'll go and talk to father about this!" Su Qiluo spoke without thinking.

Sun Xiang shook his head at this time. "Little miss, there's no rush for this."

"I've already cured your cat for you. You should quickly bring it back inside to rest well."

As Sun Xiang spoke, he also put Du ke down. After Sun Xiang helped regulate the massive medicinal power in its body, Du ke had already fallen into a deep slumber. But its breathing was much stronger than before, clearly benefitting greatly as Sun Xiang had said.

Qiu Shui also timely presented a soft cushion at this moment for Sun Xiang to place the cat on, so it wouldn't catch a cold.

After Du ke was brought inside, Sun Xiang brought his palms together and bowed. "Little miss, I have not failed your expectations. This cat has been cured by me."

Seeing Qiu Shui carrying the cushion with the cat into the building, Su Qiluo continued the previous conversation. "Dr. Sun, I'll speak to father later and have him transfer you to my Langya Palace to specially take care of my general."

"I appreciate your kind intentions, little miss. But I hold an important position and can't simply leave. Without me overseeing things, the beast park would fall into chaos."

"But I want my general to start cultivating!"

"Well," Sun Xiang stroked his beard and smilingly made a proposal, "I have a disciple who's very outstanding in his studies and rather knowledgeable about caring for beasts. And he's currently unoccupied, so I can have him serve you instead."

"A disciple?" Su Qiluo frowned slightly. "Is he reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable. I personally trained this disciple of mine. Putting everything else aside, he's more than enough to attend to your white cat general and easily guide it in cultivation too."

"Even if he can't do anything else, he can at least shovel cat poop!"

"Miss, Dr. Sun is after all the beast park's curator. If you directly demand him from the family head, it might cause unnecessary gossip."

"It'd be better to have his disciple come serve your general. That way, not only would it avoid criticism, a youngster full of vigor can better attend to your general too."

"I see!" Su Qiluo pondered for a moment with knitted brows. "Alright, since that's the case, let Dr. Sun's disciple come then!"

"But if you can't take good care of my general, I'll have father punish you!"

"Naturally that won't happen, little miss." Sun Xiang bowed with clasped hands.

Su Qiluo flicked her sleeve. "Since that's settled, send your disciple here early."

"Auntie Yun."

"Miss."

Yun Shan held her hands in her sleeves as she slightly leaned her upper body forward, awaiting orders.

"You've all worked hard today. Reward them with some things."

"Yes, miss." Yun Shan nodded slightly.

Su Qiluo waved her hand. "I'm going to check on the general."

"See you off, miss."

Watching Su Qiluo enter the building, Yun Shan immediately said to Sun Xiang, "Congratulations to Dr. Sun for finding such a good job for your excellent disciple."

"I've got Cloud Superintendent to thank for building the bridge for this old man. If not for you, my foolish disciple would still be picking grass to feed horses in the beast park!"

Sun Xiang bowed with palms held together toward Yun Shan. Yun Shan smiled and shook her head. "The little miss has her needs. We servants offer what we can per custom."

"Yes, yes, this is custom."

Sun Xiang and Yun Shan smiled at each other, conveying volumes without a single word.

"Since that's the case, I shall take my leave. I borrowed flying beasts from the residence to rush over. I need to return them quickly, otherwise I'll be in huge trouble." Sun Xiang prepared to leave.

But Yun Shan said, "There's no hurry. I'll write you an official letter. If anyone makes things difficult, just show them the letter. Our Langya Palace still has some face after all."

"Thank you, Cloud Superintendent, for your help!"

............

Afternoon in Langya Palace.

"Hiss..." Du ke had just opened its eyes and sucked in a breath of cold air.

Why? Because its entire body ached so much that Du ke couldn't help but bare its fangs.

"Cat Sir, you're awake!"

Before Du ke could figure out what was going on after opening its eyes, a fat face covered in wrinkles and dark skin squeezed into its vision.

Seeing the little black fatty, Du ke's eyes bulged out. Where did this guy come from?

Seeing Du ke's saucer-eyed look, the little black fatty Yue Yun hurriedly fawned, "I'm Yue Yun, specially arranged by the little miss to serve you. Tell me anything you want to eat or drink!"

"Serve me?"

Du ke sat up straight in the cat basket. But a slight movement made its whole body hurt, causing it to bare its fangs again.

"Cat Sir, you can't move about recklessly now."

"Earlier, you were mistakenly fed Blood Qi Pills meant only for martial artists by the little miss. With medicinal power coursing through your entire body, you became disoriented and ran about everywhere, nearly falling into the water."

As Yue Yun explained, Du ke also recalled this had happened.

"If Cloud Superintendent didn't send word to the beast park in time for my master Sun Xiang to come and regulate your medicinal power, I'm afraid you would've exploded from the medicinal power's impact!"

As Yue Yun spoke, he also gestured with his hands.

Du ke's eyes bulged again. So I was mysteriously set on fire because that little brat Qiluo randomly fed me medicine? *Slap*, I worried for nothing about her!

I nearly got done in!

"But Cat Sir, you have... divine favor protects the fortunate. Not only did this incident not leave you with any illnesses, you even benefited from this disaster."

"When my master regulated your medicinal power, it not only greatly benefited you, but also improved your physique by another level!"

Du ke sensed it out. Indeed, as the little black fatty said, he now had inexhaustible power within his body.

He could definitely refine pills three times in one go with no issues now.

"In addition to waiting on you, I'm also responsible for helping you cultivate," said the little black fatso.

Upon hearing these words, Du ke pounced directly at the little black fatso, opening his mouth with a "woof!"

"Woof?"

Seeing Du ke's golden eyes as the cat pounced on him, the little black fatso couldn't help marveling to himself that, as expected of a spirit cat of variant breed, with an innate spiritual wisdom and early mental development.

If it were any other animal, they would have just stared blankly back at him.

That's also why, after Du ke woke up, he immediately explained the situation to him.

Du ke belonged to the variant breed spirit cat - Chi Yu Xiao Fei Lian. Aside from many extraordinary qualities, this breed of cat was also extremely intelligent and cunning.

Treating this cat as the silly pet cats ordinary families keep, that would be the true stupidity.

"I'm telling the truth, don't believe me? Let this cat show you now!"

"You just lie down, leave the rest to me!"
