Very quickly, the treasure was all consumed by the Wisdom Pill Pavilion’s master. He put down the wooden bucket, still dissatisfied.

He slowly asked, “You’ve done well this time. Have you figured out where the dog race is?”

“Uhm…”

The third elder was stunned for a moment as he shook his head and said, “No.”

“Idiot!”

The pavilion master cursed loudly as he said coldly, “The dog race can produce such a treasure, it’s obvious we should own them. That way, we’ll have a neverending supply! You actually didn’t bother taking the chance to look into where the dog race is. You lost such a golden opportunity.”

At the pavilion master’s words, the third elder was filled with embarrassment.

He was way too naive. He was nowhere near as cunning as the pavilion master.

He merely wanted to trick the dog race, but the pavilion master wanted to attack them at their roots. He had not thought of such an amazing tactic, it was really a pity.

He said reluctantly, “Pavilion master, why don’t I ask that dog to bring me back to them?”

The pavilion master let out a cold laugh. “If you do that right now, it would only invite suspicion. Bring them over here and tell them I want to give them something amazing.”

“Understood.” There was a glint in the third elder’s eyes as he went out to perform his task.

At the same time, Blackie and the others were discussing their next move.

Xiao Chengfeng said with some concern, “Lord Dog, are you really sure you can deal with the Wisdom Pill Pavilion’s pavilion master? He’s a Wisdom Dictator, and he has swallowed so much gray mist. He’s probably already deep into the path of a dictator.”

Blackie smiled slightly, “Haha, don’t worry. It’s just gray mist. I’ve eaten it before, too!”

Blackie raised his paw and a gray mist started to surge out of it, scaring everyone.

“G-gray mist?!”

“You’ve also been contaminated and turned into one of them!”

“Lord Dog, why did you swallow that, too? We’re done for, we’re all done for!”

The two lords of the Divine Sword Mountain, Yun Chen and Xiao Chengfeng all had looks of panic. They all hurriedly ran away from Blackie with a look of alarm.

Only Fu Yuanhai was different. He looked like he was retreating in a panic, but he had a curious glint in his eyes.

Blackie had an exasperated look on his face. “What are you panicking for? The gray mist has always been a way of cultivation. The one I have is the complete version. It’s different from the others.”

What?

Everyone was stunned. After that, they calmed down and went to feel the gray mist on Blackie’s paws. Their hearts were slightly shocked.

Even though it was the gray mist, they could not feel any sinister energy from the gray mist that Blackie produced. It was as if it had been purified.

“What’s this?” the Mountain Lord asked.

Blackie had a serious look on his face as he said in a low voice, “My master’s collecting the gray mist to purify it and bring it back to its natural order, filling the gaps in the great Wisdom!”

That was what Daji had realized at first, and had told everyone.

The moment the gray mist arrived at the expert’s place, it would slowly fuse into the area. It would cause the area’s Wisdom to be even clearer and more complete. It could cause everyone to grow further.

It was that realization that made everyone understand that the gray mist was a flaw in Wisdom. Under that situation, there was no way to truly become strong.

“What? The gaps in Wisdom?”

It was the first time Xiao Chengfeng had heard of that, and he was stunned. Flaws in Wisdom were just like flaws in techniques. Any environment that had those flaws would restrict the cultivators within it. Then, there was no way for them to reach the peak.

Blackie nodded. “That’s right. That’s why those who absorbed the gray mist will see a drastic increase in their power. That’s because it’s the gaps that they’re lacking! Once the flaws are fixed, their powers would naturally rise.”

The Divine Sword Mountain’s lord had a change in expression. He had been dealt a massive blow. “T-then… Should cultivators absorb the gray mist?”

That was completely in conflict with the records on the Divine Sword Mountain.

Since ancient times, the gray mist had always been tied to misfortune. They were regarded as calamities. The disasters it brought forth needed to be suppressed.

Yet, Blackie was telling him that the gray mist was what Wisdom lacked?

The second lord said suspiciously, “Lord Dog, you’ve got to be lying to me.”

Blackie glared as he said, “I’ve been acting this way all my life, I’ve never lied!” The moment he said that, they looked at Blackie even more suspiciously.

Blackie had used his own poop as the registration fee and had even brought two large buckets to trick the Wisdom Pill Pavilion. They even called it a massive treasure. How was he not lymg to them?

Was he not just making himself look even more suspicious?

How were they supposed to believe him?

“Ahem, I obviously believe you, Lord Dog!”

Xiao Chengfeng let out a light cough, choosing to believe Lord Dog unconditionally. Most of it was the belief in the expert.

Even the gray mist would have a use at the expert’s place!

Xiao Chengfeng did not doubt that at all.

The mountain lord said, “Lord Dog, you mean to say that the gray mist is what’s lacking in Wisdom. Yet, you can’t absorb it normally. You’d have to absorb it at the expert’s place?

“That’s right. Only with the gray mist will Wisdom be complete.” Blackie nodded.

Everyone nodded, somewhat able to understand that.

Only… Why did Wisdom split in the first place? Why did it appear in the form of a gray mist?

No one could answer that.

Xiao Chengfeng was already starting to fill in the blanks as he said respectfully, “No wonder the expert’s collecting gray mist. He’s trying to help everyone repair Wisdom!”

At that moment, the third elder ran out from the inner palace.

He event shouted, “Friend, friend, hurry up and come with me. The pavilion master wants to see you.”

Oh?

Everyone looked at the third elder at the same time.

They had just given them two buckets of manure, but they were being invited inside. They actually felt a little bad.

However, Blackie immediately had an emotional look on his face. “The pavilion master’s really looking for me?

The third elder sniggered internally when he saw Blackie’s face. That dog was so easy to trick.

He nodded. “That’s right. The pavilion master’s really happy with what you’ve just given him. He says he wants to gift you something amazing.”

Blackie suddenly said, “Isn’t the pavilion master currently in seclusion?

The third elder said, “That’s right, but the pavilion master likes you too much.

He decided to stop everything he was doing just to see you.”

Blackie said bashfully, “Won’t that be too much trouble? I think we should save it for another time.”

“Why are you talking so much…. Ahem, I mean, we should hurry up over. We shouldn’t let the pavilion master wait too long.”

The third elder was so anxious that he almost lost his composure.

“Alright, let’s go then.”

Blackie and the third elder walked down the long corridor toward the dark inner palace.

At that moment, the six grand elders had already kept the gray mist. What Blackie saw were merely kind smiles.

“They’re the grand elders of the Wisdom Pill Pavilion. The master’s right behind.” The third elder gave a simple introduction before continuing.

In the next moment, they arrived at where the pavilion master was.

The pavilion master had kept the gray mist as well. He looked like a kindly old man as he looked at Blackie and the others with a warm smile…
