Chapter 144 Giving Mice Intelligence

"Here's the Cold Spring Pill. Remember to take it while you're cultivating!" Zhuo Yang said calmly, pretending nothing had happened. He placed the jade bottle on the table and leisurely left.

Huang Jiaxin stood there dumbfounded until the footsteps disappeared, then she rushed to the door, closed it, and locked it from the inside.

"Oh no, he saw me like this, how am I supposed to face him now!"

Holding her head, Huang Jiaxin squatted on the ground, her hair almost pulled out, but her gentle face buried in her knees was as red as if it were about to bleed.

It was late at night, and his parents had gone back to their room on the third floor to rest. Zhuo Yang heard a slight noise downstairs and frowned as he went down.

Xiaorou is watching TV!

"Why are you watching TV so late at night instead of going to sleep?" Zhuo Yang gritted his teeth, feeling as if his daughter was being disobedient and had angered her father.

"Okay!" Xiao Rou pouted, looking at Zhuo Yang with a pitiful expression. "I'm so scared being alone in my room. I want Master to sleep with me!"

Zhuo Yang almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had already tasted the forbidden fruit in this life, and the little phoenix was even more jealous, letting a woman who was an adult in every way but had the mentality of a seven-year-old sleep with him...

What the hell is this?

"No way!" Zhuo Yang replied coldly.

"Waaah...Master doesn't want me anymore!" Xiao Rou cried as soon as she was told, lying on the ground and acting like a spoiled child.

Zhuo Yang felt helpless and quickly went over to comfort her.

Xiao Rou was hard to comfort, and Zhuo Yang didn't want her to trick him out of more Cold Spirit Pills, so he decided that neither of them should sleep and took her back to the cave in the back mountain.

My sixth sense has kicked in; Xiao Diao and Xiao Hei's work must have made considerable progress.

Xiao Rou was like a little girl going out to play with her father, skipping and hopping behind Zhuo Yang. She even wanted to go into the woods late at night, and Zhuo Yang grabbed her by the back of her collar and scolded her for a while.

Tired!

Zhuo Yang sighed and led Xiao Rou into the cave, arriving at a cave space located in the belly of the mountain. This was not the deepest part, and the space was even larger, about the size of a basketball court.

The two emerged from the cave passage and were immediately chilled to the bone by the sight before them.

The ground was covered in a dark, swarming mass of rats!

"Wow...Master, a mouse! A mouse!"

Xiao Rou clung to Zhuo Yang immediately. It was understandable that she had the mind of a seven-year-old, but the body of a mature woman was something Zhuo Yang couldn't resist!

"Get off me! If you dare to hang on me again, I won't give you the Cold Spirit Pill!" Zhuo Yang said with a dark face, pulling Xiao Rou down.

Xiao Rou shrank back behind Zhuo Yang, trembling with fear.

"Squeak!"

Little Diao ran over, proudly holding up his writing board: "Master, I trained my first batch of mice—a thousand—in just four hours. Aren't I amazing?"

It was obvious that she had already written the words and was just waiting for Zhuo Yang to come over and show them off.

Monsters are naturally oppressive to ordinary animals, so summoning rats is a piece of cake; the difficulty lies in training them.

"You did a great job," Zhuo Yang nodded and praised her. "The places marked on this map must be kept under close surveillance for twelve hours a day, every single moment!"

Little Diao patted his chest in assurance, then took the map and unfolded it.

The map of Lingzhou City has several red circles drawn on it, which represent the headquarters of Dongfang Group, Penglaige Residential Area, Dongfang Manor, Wu's Pharmaceutical Headquarters, Fujia Manor, Fuhai Trade Group, and the Comprehensive Wholesale Market for Medicinal Herbs. Next to the red circle marking Fujia Manor, there are three large exclamation marks.

Zhuo Yang's friends and enemies are all marked on this map. He wants to know immediately whether a friend is in trouble or an enemy is plotting a conspiracy.

Little Diao understood and quickly wrote neatly on the writing board: "Master, these mice are too unintelligent. I can only control them to monitor others. They cannot understand human language."

"Simple!" Zhuo Yang smiled faintly and tossed her a glass bottle. "Inside are one hundred Cold Spirit Pills. Choose one hundred of the most intelligent mice and feed them to them!"

Little Diao stared at Zhuo Yang in shock, thinking, "Master is going to mass-produce monsters! That's awesome!"

She knew what to do and quickly agreed.

Zhuo Yang said in a deep voice, "We must keep a close eye on the Fu family, especially to find out who is around Fu Jing. I need to know who is behind this conspiracy and when they will launch a fatal attack!"

Little Diao became serious and wrote on the writing board: "Master, rest assured, I will select one hundred mice and use the Cold Spirit Pill to awaken their intelligence!"

Zhuo Yang nodded indifferently, then instructed Xiao Diao to select a mouse with higher intelligence.

The whole process was quite terrifying. Under Xiao Diao's command, the mice lined up and came forward to be selected.

The appropriate mice were placed next to Xiao Hei, and the oppressive feeling of the predator made the mice tremble.

After the selection was completed, Xiao Diao began distributing the Cold Spirit Pills.

"squeak……"

The first rat that swallowed the Cold Spirit Pill screamed and fell to the ground.

"Don't worry about it. Just get through it. Once your intelligence awakens, the future will be bright. If you don't make it, you'll be reincarnated. Maybe in your next life you won't have to be the lowest of animals." Zhuo Yang watched coldly, unmoved.

Little Diao nodded, his expression very serious.

She was also a demon, and she understood Zhuo Yang's meaning perfectly.

It is difficult for lowly beasts to develop intelligence. Zhuo Yang giving them the Cold Spirit Pill is giving them an opportunity, which is a great act of merit. As for whether they can seize the opportunity, it depends on their fate.

Time passed slowly, and the first mouse died!

"Again!" Zhuo Yang snorted coldly.

Little Diao nodded, squeaked a few times, and ordered the second mouse to come forward, giving it a Cold Spirit Pill.

The mouse swallowed the pill in a daze and immediately began to roll around.

Zhuo Yang remained indifferent, then suddenly a smirk appeared on his lips: "It's done!"

The mouse stood up shakily, using only its hind legs!

It blinked, then suddenly knelt down, banging its head against the ground in a gesture of humility.

“Master, it’s thanking you!” Little Diao revealed the writing board.

Zhuo Yang nodded, "Continue!"

One mouse is far from enough.

Next, the second and third mice that gained sentience appeared. In the end, out of a hundred mice, twenty-seven mice gained sentience and lined up neatly in front of Zhuo Yang, kneeling and kowtowing once again.

The scene before us is enough to prove that the Cold Spirit Pill refined with Samadhi Demon Fire is more effective than the one refined before!

"Little Rat, from now on you'll be in charge of them. Keep a close eye on the locations marked on the map!" Zhuo Yang pursed his lips, a slight smile appearing on his face. "If the rats behave well, reward them with Frost Spirit Pills!"

The bottle containing one hundred Cold Spirit Pills was handed to Little Diao.

"Squeak!"

Little Diao quickly wrote on the writing board: "Master, rest assured, I will definitely do a good job!"

Holding the writing board high, she thought to herself: "The master is indeed the master. He has enlightened twenty-seven mice in one go. This is a great act of kindness and immeasurable merit!"

I increasingly feel that I have chosen the right master, and a bright future is beckoning me.

Zhuo Yang smiled faintly, praised her a few more times, and then prepared to leave.

A leader shouldn't do everything personally, otherwise his subordinates will be a bunch of pigs, useless and incompetent. The leader only needs to steer the ship, and delegate the specific tasks to his subordinates, which can also help them develop their abilities.

Xiao Rou showed off her bottle containing the Cold Spirit Pill to Xiao Diao, seemingly boasting, "I also have Cold Spirit Pills!"

Xiao Diao turned his head away, pretending not to see.

How could a dignified Nascent Soul stage expert be so despicable?
