Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Prodigal Son
“Shi Hao, how dare you refuse the kindness of a Pill Master?” Guo Yuheng said sternly.

Shi Hao shrugged his shoulders, “That’s my business, why are you always yapping about it?”
Guo Zhou’s face was also dark as he said, “Young man, assisting a Pill Master is your duty.”
Shi Hao smiled; he already knew what Guo Zhou was up to.
However, he didn’t need anyone to teach him anything, and even if he followed Guo Zhou, the latter wouldn’t be able to restrict him. Knowing full well that the other party harbored ill intentions, how could Shi Hao yield?
If they were going to fall out anyway, why should he demean himself?
...
“Not interested,” Shi Hao said indifferently. “Alright, go back to wherever you came from.”
“You!” Guo Yuheng jumped up, pointing at Shi Hao angrily, “How dare you speak to Alchemist Guo like this?”
“Get lost or do I need to make you?” Shi Hao’s eyes showed a fierce light.
He never accepted threats.
Besides, what was so great about being a Primary Level Pill Master? If it came down to it, he could just get certified himself.
Guo Zhou trembled with anger. Ever since he had become a Pill Master, hadn’t everyone treated him with the utmost respect?
Now, not only was he being refused and contradicted, but he was also being threatened to be thrown out like trash?
“Fine, I want to see how you’re going to drive me away!” he said furiously, truly not believing this turn of events, “If you have the guts, touch me and—ah!”
He hadn’t finished his sentence when he was already being hauled up by Shi Hao.
Dammit, that fierce?
Guo Yuheng was dumbfounded. Did you think you were the head of the Pill Yard or something?
After a moment of shock, he hurried forward to intervene.
“Out!” Shi Hao kicked out, and with a thud, Guo Yuheng turned into a tumbling gourd, rolling right out the door.
The door wasn’t closed, which was very foresighted.
Just as Guo Yuheng was getting up, Shi Hao had already dragged Guo Zhou to the door, raised his arm, and thrown Guo Zhou out as well.
How infuriating! Absolutely infuriating!
The uncle and nephew of the Guo Family were fuming, but they also realized that Shi Hao’s strength was far superior to theirs, so making a move against him would be extremely foolish.
“Fine! Fine! Fine!” Guo Zhou’s face was full of rage, his whole person seeming to burst into flames, “You wait for me. If I don’t make you kneel and beg for mercy today, my name isn’t Guo!”
Heh.
Shi Hao only showed them the back of his head, closing the door straightaway.
Bang—the crisp closing sound was filled with irony and disdain.
Guo Zhou turned away furiously; of course, he was going to seek redress. Shi Hao had dared to treat him like a dog, tossing him out so rudely was simply too much for him to bear.
This was insubordination! He vowed to destroy Shi Hao this time!
…
Bang, bang, bang—the door was knocked on once again.
Shi Hao was surprised. Had he just thrown out Guo Zhou and his nephew, and now they were back so soon?
He went to open the door, but standing at the threshold wasn’t the duo, but rather the head of the Pill Yard, Sun Yiming himself.
What left him speechless was that the old man was holding a white cat that had a trail of silver fur on its back, adding a touch of majesty to it.
Oh? Isn’t this a Snow Spirit Cat?
Shi Hao had seen it in Yuan Chengmie’s memories; a Snow Spirit Cat was a low-level Ferocious Beast, well, that was the vague idea he had.
Since it was a low-level Ferocious Beast, he naturally didn’t take it seriously.
“Puny human, you dare stare at this king so intently, are you not afraid this king will eat you?” the Snow Spirit Cat said with a proud air.
Oh?
Shi Hao was surprised, “Dean, your cat has actually become spiritually aware.”
Although the Snow Spirit Cat was a ferocious beast, ferocious beasts only knew slaughter and practiced following their instincts; it was impossible for them to speak human language.
Tsk, had he underestimated the White Cloud Sect? They could also refine Spirit Awakening Pills.
“Young man, aren’t you going to invite this old man in to sit?” Sun Yiming said with a smile.
He had many questions. Not only had this young man advanced to the Senior Apprentice level in just twenty days, but now he also appeared to have refined an Elixir capable of activating the bloodline of a ferocious beast, which piqued his curiosity.
“Please do.” Shi Hao nodded. As fellow Pill Masters, and considering that Sun Yiming was the academy’s dean, his manner of speaking was very polite—when compared to Guo Zhou, the difference was quite stark.
The two entered the parlor, and Shi Hao asked Sun Yiming to sit down.
“Would you like some tea?” Shi Hao asked.
“No need, I have important matters to discuss with you,” Sun Yiming said.
“Good, saves me the trouble,” Shi Hao muttered.
This caused Sun Yiming to twitch the corner of his mouth involuntarily. You’re quite honest, aren’t you? Even if it’s just a pretense of politeness, there’s no need to spell it out in front of me.
He set down the Snow Spirit Cat and then asked Shi Hao, “Do you know how to refine pills?”
Shi Hao couldn’t help but look over. Why was this old man asking this?
He had no plans to develop his career in the White Cloud Sect, so he had no intention of taking the Pill Master test. Instead, he wanted to keep a low profile and learn by observing in the Martial Courtyard.
Otherwise, as a Pill Master, if he went to the Martial Courtyard, he would surely be beseeched for pills by others—how could he stay low profile then?
“Woof!” Just then, a bark was heard, and Big Yellow, the dog, had woken up.
It wasn’t supposed to wake up so quickly, but who could blame the Snow Spirit Cat for teasing it? The cat, not being one to leave well enough alone, provoked Big Yellow by scratching at it, thus waking the dog up.
What sort of creature was Big Yellow?
In Starwind Academy, it used to reign supreme, only subdued by Shi Hao. Now, being bullied by a cat was more than it could stand. It barked fiercely and launched a counterattack at the Snow Spirit Cat.
Cats are naturally agile, and after the Snow Spirit Cat’s bloodline had been awakened, its agility was enhanced even further, leaping seven or eight feet high and easily dodging Big Yellow’s pounce.
But Big Yellow wasn’t one to take a loss lying down. It immediately sprang up, charging toward the Snow Spirit Cat once more.
Oh?
Shi Hao was surprised, as Big Yellow’s jumping ability had significantly improved. It had leapt nearly ten feet high, far surpassing the limits of an ordinary dog.
It seemed that the Spirit Awakening Pill had a very good effect on Big Yellow.
The Snow Spirit Cat was also shocked, not expecting this ordinary-looking dog to be able to jump so high. It used all its skills, shooting up and darting down, running all over the room.
Big Yellow, not willing to give up, chased relentlessly.
“Meow meow meow.”
“Woof woof woof.”
A cat and a dog ran all over the house, creating quite a commotion.
Sun Yiming watched in astonishment as Big Yellow bounced around, clearly surpassing any normal dog in every aspect, then turned to Shi Hao and said, “Did this dog eat the Elixir you refined?”
He was aware that Shi Hao had refined two successful Spirit Pills and one Remnant Pill. The Remnant Pill had been eaten by the Snow Spirit Cat, so Big Yellow must have consumed one of the complete Spirit Pills.
After a moment’s thought, Shi Hao realized that the Snow Spirit Cat’s ability to speak likely came from the Remnant Pill he had discarded, which was why it could tell Sun Yiming that it had found the pill in his yard.
Given the circumstances, there was no point in hiding anything.
Shi Hao nodded, “Yes.”
With Shi Hao’s confirmation, Sun Yiming felt a pang in his chest.
A Spirit Pill capable of activating a ferocious beast’s bloodline, fed to a mere common dog!
What a waste!
You prodigal child!
