Heaven Extinction Martial Emperor

As he was speaking, one of Xia Qilin's friends carried over a small puppy that was gnawing on bones on the ground.

Its body was covered in grey fur and looked extremely dirty. Now that it was grabbed by someone, its eyes showed terror and its body was trembling.

From its appearance, it should be a two-month-old puppy.

"Didn't Brother Xia say that your spiritual liquid was able to develop and improve intelligence? Let's test it out." Li Yaozong had a teasing look on his face.

Allowing something to develop intelligence? Only those legendary divine-level alchemy medicine could accomplish it.

And such alchemy medicine basically didn't exist in reality!

Xia Qingchen actually dared to say that the spiritual liquid he concocted could achieve this? If Li Yaozong didn't grab this opportunity and expose the lie on the spot, causing Xia Qingchen to be mocked and ridiculed until he had completely no face left, Xia Qingchen would truly think that he could lie anytime he wanted.

"That's right Brother Xia, why don't you let people like us who have never seen this before broaden our horizons?" Xia Qilin's friends chipped in.

"Haha, all of us are ignorant and inexperienced. Brother Xia, don't be so petty."

Everyone chipped in with their words, formlessly forming an encirclement, causing Xia Qingchen to be unable to extricate himself.

"Fine then, I will let you frogs in the well see something that will broaden your vision so all of you can shut up." Even a man made of mud would have three-points of fire in him, let alone Xia Qingchen.

With regard to ignorant people, Xia Qingchen had always not been willing to waste time arguing and explaining to them.

It was just that these frogs in the well were simply too noisy.

He decided to let them broaden their horizons and make them shut up completely.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding youths all had anger in their eyes. He actually dared to call them frogs in the well?

Simply ridiculous!

Speaking of background and status, which of them weren't ten to a hundred times better than Xia Qingchen?

The interesting things they had seen before were 1,000 times more than Xia Qingchen.

Yet, he actually called them frogs in the well?

He must be truly mad!

Li Yaozong put on a fake smile. "Brothers, it seems like Brother Xia is going to allow us, the frogs in the well, to broaden our horizons. Everyone wipe your eyes and prepare to see clearly!"

The youngsters here all understood tacitly. 𝚋𝚎𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

Later on, if they didn't humiliate Xia Qingchen to the point where he lost all face, how could they face up to his words, calling them 'frogs in the well'?

Xia Qingchen didn't say a word. He opened up the jade bottle and poured out 10% of the Tranquil Heart Divine Water into the mouth of the puppy.

A moment later, the puppy began to tremble. Its eyes rolled back as it let out a miserable groan while its body stiffened.

"It died?" The young man holding the puppy almost couldn't hold it in.

Li Yaozong and the others all clutched their bellies and laughed uproariously.

"Aiyo, I almost died from laughter. Brother Xia, this is your so-called spiritual liquid that can develop and improve intelligence? Why did the dog die before its intelligence developed?"

"Hahaha! I, a frog in the well, truly have my horizons broadened now!"

'That's right. From young until now, this is the first time my vision is broadened!"

...

The elders who were in the surroundings shook their heads and sighed.

"That child most probably has some problems with his head, right?"

"What an embarrassment. Quickly chase both he and his father away. I feel frustrated just by looking at them."

Xia Cangliu had an ashen expression. He was so angry that he was shaking.

The liquid poisoned a dog to death and Xia Qingchen dared to give such a thing to him?

Li Yaozong laughed for a long time. He grinned widely and raised a difficult statement. "Xia Qingchen, you have the gall to take out an extremely poisonous 'divine water' to cheat us and even call us frogs in the well. Don't you find yourself ridiculous?"

The others were all laughing coldly, with malicious looks on their faces.

Next, they absolutely wouldn't be so friendly.

That sentence calling them frogs in the well made it hard for them to brush it off even if they wanted to.

But all of a sudden, a blurry voice that was hard to distinguish rang out in their midst. "A bunch of fools treating me like a plaything. Quickly release your doggy grandpa!"

Everyone turned their heads toward the sound. They saw that the little grey dog that was supposed to have died suddenly came back to life.

It was struggling fiercely in the grasp of the young man. Its mouth was moving as though it was speaking.

Everyone was stunned. Li Yaozong asked with uncertainty, "Earlier, was this dog speaking? Or is Xia Qingchen playing tricks?"

"Play your mother's head! Are you deaf? Can't you hear your daddy talking?" No one expected that the little grey dog would turn its head over, baring its teeth at Li Yaozong and speaking in the human tongue.

Ao~~

After that, it lowered its head and bit the young man's hand that was holding it.

The young man instantly let go due to the pain. It then nimbly leaped onto the ground and ran toward Xia Qingchen with its buttocks wiggling.

Its back legs stood straight, and its front paws were held together in a posture resembling a human executing a bow. "Thank you, Saint, for helping me to develop intelligence. Thank you so much…"

Hualala~

All the guests were completely dumbstruck. All of them stood up. The wine cups and chopsticks before them were all knocked onto the ground.

They stared unblinkingly at the grey dog. They had no way to believe their eyes and ears.

That five-colored liquid was truly a divine water that could develop and improve intelligence, in addition to extending one's longevity?

They didn't wish to believe, but that little puppy that kept saying thank you seemed to be smacking on their faces while saying, "Wake up, you are not in a dream."

Thud~

The painting in Xia Cangliu's hand that was given by Xia Qilin fell onto the ground at this moment, but he wasn't aware of it.

He stared at the puppy in astonishment.

Li Yaozong and the others in the surroundings were now completely dumbfounded, standing there as dumb as a wooden chicken.

At this moment, silence descended at the banquet. It felt like space was being frozen.

The only thing moving was the puppy that kept thanking Xia Qingchen.

Xia Qingchen glanced at the puppy and calmly spoke, "Just a random encounter. It isn't a big deal."

The puppy was actually moved to tears. It wiped away its tears. "The other humans treat me like a wild dog, ignoring my life and death. Only Saint is willing to help me in gaining intelligence, making it so that I will no longer be muddle-headed. Today, this dog life of mine belongs to you, Saint. Please keep me with you."

Finally, their conversation stunned all the guests.

Everyone turned their gazes to the jade bottle in Xia Qingchen's hand that still had 90% of the liquid. Their gazes filled with heat.

If developing and improving intelligence was real, didn't that mean that the ten years extension of longevity was true as well?

The value of this bottle of Tranquil Heart Divine Water was definitely priceless. One million, no, even if it was ten million taels of silver, there would still be people vying with each other to buy!

In this banquet, this bottle of Tranquil Heart Divine Water was then the true incomparable treasure!

Even if one sold the entire Northern Xia Manor, one wouldn't even be able to purchase this!

Xia Cangliu abruptly regained his senses. He stretched out his hand but then silently retracted it.

Earlier, he had already rejected it. How could he still have the face to accept it now?

However, anything that could extend longevity was definitely very alluring. He still managed to forcefully suppress the desire in his heart and feign aloofness. "Ah, Qingchen. Grandfather has seen your kind intentions. You can pass the bottle to me now."

He completely had the appearance of something like 'me accepting your gift is giving face to you'.

Xia Qingchen turned a deaf ear to him. He squatted down and fed the remaining liquid to the puppy as he calmly spoke, "When I gave this to a dog, it still knows how to be grateful and thank me. When I tried to give this to humans, what I received was merely mockery and ridicule. Isn't it obvious who I should give this to?"

His and his father's sincerity was treated as dung by Xia Cangliu.

If this was the case, was there still any need for them to show filial piety?

They had already exhibited filial piety, their conscience was clear!

This sentence caused Xia Cangliu's countenance to alternate between shades of red and green.

Those words clearly said that he wasn't even comparable to a dog!

All the guests felt incomparable pain in their hearts when they saw the little grey puppy opening its mouth to drink the remaining liquid.

Under their fixed stares, the little grey puppy underwent a transformation again.

Its grey fur abruptly turned into the color of white snow!

Its eyes gleamed with brightness. Just a single look would be able to determine that it was a creature with spiritual nature and extremely high intelligence!

In a few short moments, it transformed into a beautiful snow-white spirit beast from a wild dog.

"Saint, it is tough for me to repay your kindness even if I slog for you forever." The intelligence of the puppy was now even higher. It could speak very well and even knew how to mimic humans prostrating themselves in worship.

Everyone could only wring their hands and sigh!

The benefits of such a heaven-defying liquid were given to a wild dog!

What a waste of heavenly treasure!

At this moment, when the guests glanced at Li Yaozong and the others, they truly seemed like a bunch of frogs in the well. Ridiculous to the extreme.

Today, the ones who made an exhibition and disgraced themselves the most were none other than them!

Truly, a bunch of arrogant frogs in the well!
