"Apart from these ruined pills, I have nothing else to offer you." Yan Xiaobao actually felt quite satisfied with this situation. Cultivators couldn't consume the damaged pills, but they seemed harmless to the stone gargoyle. In fact, the stone gargoyle grew quite a lot last month. He now looked less like a mischievous sprite, about the size of a 7 or 8-year-old child. Of course, he was black, surrounded by a black mist.
Most notably, the stone gargoyle seemed to have become smarter. Now, he wasn't completely useless, and he could offer Yan Xiaobao some help after receiving simple commands.
Several times, he seemed unwilling to eat the damaged pill, but he didn't dare defy Yan Xiaobao's orders.
Once, Yan Xiaobao made a mistake; it could be said the pill furnace was about to explode. He immediately backed up and shouted loudly: "Shadow, you handle it!"
