Chapter Sixteen: The Guest

  Mo Xin returned home and went straight back to his own courtyard, where he took out the demonic mouse for testing.

  That troublesome old man and his savage granddaughter, Mo Xin temporarily had no interest in managing them.

  In that case, Mo Xin didn't go to see if the Blood Wolf had acknowledged its master either. Anyway, there were many experts at home who wouldn't let the Blood Wolf not acknowledge its master, so this matter didn't require Mo Xin's worry anymore.

  As for buying Blood Wolf, it's enough that family members know about it, there's no need to explain anything.

  Since it's already been bought, the Mo family doesn't care about that little bit of money.

  The recovery potion formula for Dou Qi and magic that Mo Xin took out made a fortune for many nobles in the imperial capital, not to mention the Mo family.

  It's better to just focus on your own affairs, Mo Xin instinctively felt that the Saint-level old man was definitely a troublesome character, and running into him would surely bring no good news, it's best not to go out for now.

  It's not that Mo Xin is afraid of that old man, he just doesn't want any more trouble.

  Mo Xin also wanted to take this opportunity to study Dan medicine and alchemy, while also examining the peculiarities of this demon mouse.

  If there's a chance, I'd like to modify this demon mouse and see if it can be turned into a monster.

  If it can ignore any magic while having an extremely strong physical attack, that would absolutely be the bane of magicians. Of course, for Mo Xin, this isn't some wild fantasy either. Mo Xin has many methods to make this Devouring Demon Mouse become

  The arch-nemesis of magicians.

  To make the Devouring Mouse more obedient, Mo Xin used the Beast-Taming Spell he had learned in his past life to control the Devouring Mouse, making it much easier to test the medicine.

  The Beast-Taming Seal was the ultimate technique of the Beast-Taming Sect in his past life as a celestial. As a master alchemist, he had easily obtained some superficial techniques from the Beast-Taming Sect by exchanging elixirs for them. As for how he got them, it went without saying that he used elixirs to trade for them. In his past life, Mo Xin had used elixirs to cure...

  The elder of Beast Gate gave Mo Xin some basic beast-taming techniques as payment.

  Although there were few opportunities to use this technique in past lives, it has made things easier for me now.

  The Beast Taming Spell contains a technique to erase the beast's consciousness, refining it into a magic treasure. The magic treasure can merge with its master's mind and spirit, naturally increasing its attack effectiveness. At critical moments, it can also serve as a substitute, but the refinement process is somewhat...

  It hurts heaven and earth, so even the Yu Beast Gate rarely has anyone cultivating this technique.

  Of course, there are other reasons for this, and Fa Bao is not so easy to refine, and the necessary conditions are also many.

  The magical contract of this world, Mo Xin hasn't studied it before, but the general principle should still be a spiritual restraint or something like that.

  Normally, time still passes relatively quickly.

  In the blink of an eye, four days have passed.

  These four days Mo Xin was unusually calm and peaceful. After Mo Jia came over to say hello once in the middle, he disappeared.

  No need to think about it, he must have made friends with that Blood Wolf.

  Xue Lang had been injured earlier, so Mo Ge asked someone to use water and light magic to treat Xue Lang's injuries, and soon his physical wounds were mostly healed.

  However, the medicinal properties of the medicine fed to Blood Wolf by the Storm Mercenaries had not dissipated so quickly, so this period was also a time for building good relations with Blood Wolf.

  Although the Blood Wolf acknowledges Mo Gua as its master, they still need to cultivate some feelings for each other; otherwise, it would be difficult for the demon beast and its master to communicate, making it hard for the demon beast to exert its full strength. Therefore, this emotional investment is necessary.

  The medicinal properties in Xue Lang's body were easy to remove, but Mo Xin had no reason to make a move.

  The process of testing the medicine on the demon mouse went relatively smoothly.

  The mouse has a strong resistance to many drugs, and Mo Xin's research has made significant progress in just a few days.

  But the most obvious change is still the Demon Mouse itself.

  There are still many drugs in the medicine given to the mouse by Mo Xin that promote the growth and evolution of demons, and there are also many highly toxic drugs. Various medicines are mixed together, and Mo Xin is not clear what reaction will occur.

  The originally ash-gray Devouring Demon Mouse has now turned grayish-brown, and its body size has increased significantly. The strength and power of its teeth and claws have also been greatly enhanced. The appearance of the Devouring Demon Mouse is slowly approaching the monstrous image in Mo Xin's mind.

  The Devouring Mouse now has powerful venom resistance and deadly claws, which are also considered extra gains.

  Anyway, Mo Xin's idea is that the stronger the better.

  These changes are probably the reward for Mo Xin's trial medicine from the Devouring Demon Mouse.

  "From now on, I'll call you Little Monster." Mo Xin said to the Guloth Mouse who was jumping around in the room.

  It seemed that the little monster had heard Mo Xin's words and was excitedly jumping onto his shoulder, rubbing its small head against Mo Xin's clothes.

  "Alright, little guy." Mo Xin smiled and said.

  －－

  "Master Mo Xin, the master of the house wants you to go to the main hall."

  Xiao Wu, who followed Mo Jian's side, ran into Mo Xin's courtyard to convey the master's words.

  "What's wrong?"

  At this time, Grandpa seems to have nothing to look for himself, Mo Xin is curious.

  It's just after breakfast now, Grandpa should still be training Mo Gua, how did he find himself?

  "A guest has arrived at home, it's Carelli, the new Archbishop of the Temple of Light in Tien Long City."

  Xiao Wu said truthfully.

  "Is he coming alone?" Mo Xin asked.

  "He came with his granddaughter Kaley."

  "Alright, you go back first, I'll change my clothes and be right there." Mo Xin said to Xiao Wu.

  That old guy is actually the new Kareli Grand Duke, what a coincidence. But what is this old guy doing here? If he's looking for my grandfather, he wouldn't have found me.

  This old thing won't be up to no good, will it? Mo Xin's heart skipped a beat.
