The Little Fairy of Glazed Glass

The little white pig swallowed a fist-sized black stone in one gulp, drawing everyone's attention. It grunted twice, swallowed the stone, smacked its lips, and complained, "It's awful, not tasty at all!"

"How does it feel?" It would be strange if this black stone tasted good. Of course, that's assuming that black stones are actually edible. I guess only a monster's stomach could be so powerful.

"I don't feel anything, it just tastes awful!" The little white pig shook its head violently, clearly disgusted by the black stone and showing no desire to eat it again.

"Has anything changed?" Xianyu Liuli pressed on, feeling that something was strange about it, though she hadn't noticed it yet.

"Huh? Change? What change? It's just a black stone, I'll eat it and it'll be gone, there won't be any change!" The little white pig answered quickly and with a rather certain tone, but its bright, darting eyes made Xianyu Liuli notice something was off, and she felt that the little white pig wasn't telling the truth.

"Do you know what the consequences of lying are?" Xianyu Liuli threatened in a cold voice.

"Huh? What consequences? Um, I didn't lie!" The little white pig was startled and stammered. Its small body shrank into Xianyu Zongdao's arms, almost shrinking into a round little thing.

"Maybe we can have an extra meal tonight, how about a roast suckling pig? I haven't tasted meat in a long time!" Xianyu Liuli continued to threaten, her chilling tone making the little white pig tremble all over and immediately grunt and beg for mercy.

"They weren't lying, this broken stone really doesn't taste good, and, well, it hasn't changed much, really nothing!" The little white pig's pitiful tone sounded like it was about to cry, but as soon as it spoke, it obviously gave itself away.

"No big changes, then there are small changes?" If she lost to a pig while arguing with her over words, she felt she might as well give up on life!

"Well, just a tiny bit!" The little white pig stretched out its paw, as if trying to show the meaning of "tiny bit," but the paw was really hard to use, making everyone hold back their laughter.

"Then tell me properly what this little bit is." Xianyu Liuli didn't care about the pig's cuteness; what she cared about most was the use of this black stone. If it really was a top-quality refining material, then they would be rich.

The little white pig shook its body, grunted twice as if aggrieved, and then spat out a black stone. After the first spit, the second spit was a black stone. In terms of size and appearance, it was exactly the same as the black stone it had eaten not long ago, and it looked exactly the same.

However, when Xianyu Liuli saw the black stone, her eyes flickered. Her intuition told her that the black stone must be different from the one that had been swallowed.

"Tell me, what's different about this stone?" Xianyu Liuli didn't pick up the stone directly, but continued to ask. She really didn't want to touch the stone that had been stained with the little white pig's saliva.

"Well, you can try using the spirit fire. I... I actually have a lot of effect." Since things had come to this point, the little white pig stopped hiding it and finally faced the fact that it was a disliked existence. It proudly began to praise itself, as if it had really done something amazing.

Upon hearing this, Xianyu Liuli immediately understood. No longer bothered by the saliva, she picked up the black stone and began to temper it with spiritual fire. At first, the stone did not change much, but perhaps because there was hope, Xianyu Liuli persisted. After about fifteen minutes, the black stone gradually began to change!

The black stone melted little by little, the black liquid as smooth as silk, dripping into the air drop by drop. Xianyu Liuli waved her hand and collected the liquid. After about a quarter of an hour, when about one-fifth of the stone had melted, Xianyu Liuli slowly put away her spiritual fire.

"Not bad, you're very useful. You'll have to work hard from now on!" Xianyu Liuli patted the little white pig's head and said earnestly.

"Huh? Later? Why?" The little white pig didn't know if it was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, but it asked a somewhat silly question.

"This stone needs the aid of your saliva or something similar to be refined, right?" Xianyu Liuli was naturally clever and immediately got to the point.

"That's not necessarily true, Master. Immortal Water will work too. You can try using Immortal Water. My saliva is too little, not enough!" The little white pig was somewhat relieved after hearing this. It wasn't pretending to be stupid; it was just genuinely a bit naive and didn't understand its master's meaning. It thought it was going to eat this broken stone again. But if it just wanted to refine it, the effect of Immortal Water was somewhat similar to its saliva!

"Immortal water can do it?" Xianyu Liuli was quite surprised by this answer, as she had no idea that immortal water could also have a smelting effect.

"Of course, there are magical ingredients in my saliva, otherwise I wouldn't be so powerful." The little white pig blinked shyly, genuinely a bit embarrassed.

Hearing this, Xianyu Liuli asked with some dissatisfaction, "Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Her evasive manner left Xianyu Liuli speechless!

"Just now? What did you say? I don't know..." the little white pig asked, confused. When was that? Did it have something it absolutely had to say? It was just about eating stones, and it really didn't like them!

Everyone was speechless, increasingly feeling that the saying "one is influenced by one's company" was quite true. This pig, raised by the senior brother, really was a bit dim-witted!

Having found a method, Xianyu Liuli couldn't help but take immediate action. She searched around and found several stones, sending them all into the Liuli Immortal Sea. She also asked the attendant a few questions, and sure enough, the attendant replied that the immortal water had a dissolving effect, which immediately put her at ease. However, she couldn't help but think that all the demon beasts and spirit stones were in the water, and she hoped they wouldn't all dissolve. The thought flashed through her mind, but Xianyu Liuli smiled and shook her head, thinking that she could be so childish.

The group continued their ascent and finally arrived at Youlian Cliff, a cliff composed entirely of dark, massive rocks, barren of any vegetation, animals, or plants, with only gusts of chilling wind blowing, making people extremely uncomfortable.

Xianyu Liuli sighed inwardly. This place was indeed not a good place to settle down. Although the spiritual energy was quite rich, the environment was really not good. Looking at it for too long could easily cause psychological problems.
