The door flew open, and Qin Shou rushed in. At the same time, he opened the Black Demon Box and took out the Eight Trigrams Furnace!

The Eight Trigrams Furnace, having been cooped up inside for so long, suddenly screamed as it was set free, "Help! Help! The damn rabbit is stealing the furnace! Golden Spirit and Silver Spirit, protect me! Kill these bastards who steal furnaces!"

After shouting out loud, the Eight Trigrams Furnace realized something was off about the atmosphere.

First off, the Rabbit had no intention of telling it to shut up. Instead, Rabbit was looking at it with a playful face, as if looking at an idiot.

Secondly, it noticed that the surroundings were different. This place was definitely not the Doushuai Palace!

Lastly, there seemed to be someone behind them!

Turning around, the Eight Trigrams Furnace saw a woman lying on the bed with her back to them.

Qin Shou said, "Miss, what do you think about this pot?"

"Pot... pot?! Who are you calling a pot?" the Eight Trigrams Furnace roared angrily.

Qin Shou took out a Stone and slapped it on the Eight Trigrams Furnace, saying, "If I say you’re a pot, you’re a pot! Keep yapping, and I’ll eat you!"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace hesitated for a moment, wanting to curse back, but then it thought better of it. This damn rabbit could indeed bite it... It even had a notch on its rim... Shivering, it didn’t dare argue with the Rabbit anymore.

"Oh? That fast? And you managed to find such a good pot..." The woman turned her head halfway through her sentence, saw the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and her whole demeanor froze for a moment, looking strangely at the furnace before saying, "This... is your idea of a good pot?"

Qin Shou, adorably naive, nodded and said, "Ah, what a great pot! It’s just a bit black inside, but I’ll scrub it out, and it’ll definitely be usable. What do you think, miss?"

The woman was speechless...

Clearly, she recognized the identity of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, but what she did not expect was that she had merely asked the Rabbit to find a good pot, and this damn rabbit had actually carried back the Dao Ancestor’s Eight Trigrams Furnace... Yet, she only frowned a little before saying, "Fine, let’s use it."

"What do you mean? I am the Dao Ancestor’s Eight Trigrams Furnace!" The Eight Trigrams Furnace was furious, shouting loudly.

Qin Shou didn’t say a word. The woman’s gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over the Eight Trigrams Furnace. The furnace shuddered, instantly swallowing its next words, whimpering, "Use it if you can... I didn’t mean it like that. I mean, I can totally fulfill the duties of a pot!"

Bang!

A loud noise as an unidentifiable animal was thrown in front of them!

Qin Shou and the Eight Trigrams Furnace were both confused. Qin Shou leaned over to inspect it closely; it was a four-legged creature that had been skinned and prepped...

The woman said, "Stew it."

Qin Shou asked curiously, "Miss, what is this?"

"Don’t know," the woman casually said.

Qin Shou was at a loss for words...

It seemed the woman felt this answer was a bit too insincere, so she added, "I grabbed it on impulse, didn’t get a clear look at what it was. Should taste good though..."

Qin Shou was even more speechless...

Looking closely at the animal’s shape, it seemed to be a large feline of some sort. As for the rest, he couldn’t tell.

But it didn’t matter anyway. He dragged both the big cat and the Eight Trigrams Furnace out with one hand each.

"Rabbit, what’s the background of that woman? She’s so scary!" the Eight Trigrams Furnace asked, still quite shaken.

Qin Shou said, "How would I know her background? But aren’t you being too cowardly? She just gave you one look, and you readily agreed to be a pot?"

"Just one look? I’ve been with the Dao Ancestor for so many years, and if nothing else, I do have some spiritual sense. That woman gave me a very dangerous feeling... Among all the people I’ve met, she’s probably only one level below the Dao Ancestor. In fact, from some aspects, she’s even more terrifying than the Dao Ancestor..."

Qin Shou was astounded when he heard this. He knew the woman was formidable; even the Jade Emperor couldn’t deal with her.

But he had not expected the Eight Trigrams Furnace to have such a high opinion of this woman...

But Qin Shou couldn’t understand, if someone was that terrifyingly powerful, why would they be so gluttonous? Shouldn’t someone that formidable be absorbing the power of heaven and earth every day instead?

However, he dared not ask this question, worried she might decide to stew him in passing...

Qin Shou asked, "Really? More terrifying than the Dao Ancestor?"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace replied with a wry smile, "In the Dao Ancestor’s eyes, there’s the compassion of a Saint. But in that woman’s eyes, there’s a Blood Sea... The Dao Ancestor only uses me as a Pill Furnace, but she looked at me as if I were a heap of bones... Which one do you think is scarier?"

Qin Shou was speechless and patted the Eight Trigrams Furnace, saying, "Alright, no more talking, just get to cooking."

"I won’t cook!" the Eight Trigrams Furnace immediately protested.

Qin Shou raised his eyebrows and said, "What? You think I can’t handle you?"

"I am an Alchemy Furnace, not a pot, don’t expect me to help you cook!" the Eight Trigrams Furnace declared confidently.

Qin Shou grinned, facing the furnace, and said, "Are you sure?"

"Certain! I’d rather die than submit!" said the Eight Trigrams Furnace proudly.

Qin Shou nodded and said, "Alright, rather die than submit, huh? You have some backbone, I never like to force people."

After saying that, Qin Shou waved his hand and the dirt on the ground flew up to form a massive black pot!

Qin Shou lit the fire, added water, and started boiling.

Seeing that the Rabbit knew his place, the Eight Trigrams Furnace laughed in satisfaction, "Rabbit, you’re quite sensible, rest assured, when Dao Ancestor comes back, I’ll put in a good word for you... Hey hey hey... What are you grabbing me for?"

Splash!

Qin Shou, without uttering a word, tossed the Eight Trigrams Furnace into the big black cauldron.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace exclaimed, "Rabbit, what the hell are you doing? Giving me a bath?"

Chop chop chop chop...

From outside came the sound of a knife chopping on a cutting board...

The Eight Trigrams Furnace stood on tiptoe and looked outside, only to see the rabbit coming over, pouring a basin of something into the pot with a splash...

For a moment, scallions, ginger, and garlic cloves floated in the pot...

A ladder was propped against the side of the pot, and the rabbit stood on the ladder, holding a spoon, then sprinkled some salt and MSG into the pot...

"Rabbit, what are you up to? You don’t need all these things for a bath, right?" The Eight Trigrams Furnace had followed the Dao Ancestor for countless years, but the Dao Ancestor only used it for alchemy and didn’t carry it with him. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been thrown aside in the Doushuai Palace to gather dust when the Dao Ancestor was away...

Thus, the heart of the Eight Trigrams Furnace wasn’t mature, and its experience was not vast either.

But even with its limited experience, it realized at that very moment that something was definitely off...

Qin Shou glanced at the Eight Trigrams Furnace and said, "Cooking."

"Cooking? What dish?" the Eight Trigrams Furnace asked, shivering.

Qin Shou pronounced each word distinctly, "Boiled Eight Trigrams Furnace."

"You’re going to eat me?" Upon hearing this, the Eight Trigrams Furnace immediately tried to leap out of the pot, only to see the rabbit suddenly appear in front of it, saying, "Try coming out. If you do, I’ll bite you raw!"

After saying that, Qin Shou ground his teeth.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace immediately recalled the scene of the rabbit biting it before, realizing it could truly damage its body...

As the flames burned and the temperature rose higher, the Eight Trigrams Furnace remained unaffected by the heat itself, but the rabbit outside, handling the knife and continuously preparing ingredients, applied a mounting pressure that made it increasingly restless.

"Rabbit, can we talk?" asked the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Qin Shou looked up and said, "Are you an Alchemy Furnace, or a cooking pot right now?"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace replied, "Alchemy Furnace."

Whoosh...

The flames grew even more intense...

No matter what the Eight Trigrams Furnace said, the rabbit ignored it completely, busily making the sauce. Soon, a bowl of sauce was ready.

Then the rabbit, grinding its teeth, muttered, "Crush it and dip it, should taste not bad."

The Eight Trigrams Furnace shuddered and said, "Rabbit, I think I’m quite decent as a cooking pot..."

"Is that so? But I only use professional equipment. Since you are an Alchemy Furnace, you can’t be a cooking pot. So, are you an Alchemy Furnace, or a cooking pot?" Qin Shou asked.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace reluctantly mumbled, "Um, uh... you know."

"Speak human!" Qin Shou demanded.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace mumbled, "Ah drum eh..."

"Looking at my choppers here, you better make yourself clear. One chance, or I’m starting to eat," Qin Shou stated.

With great reluctance, the Eight Trigrams Furnace exclaimed, "Pot!"

"That’s more like it!" Qin Shou pulled over the creature looking like a big wildcat, only to realize that it had already been refined.

Qin Shou didn’t ponder over it too much, and with a wave of his hand, a large ball of steel wool appeared, saying, "Come on, open the lid. Let me give you a bath. Can’t waste all that soot at the bottom of the pot..."

The Eight Trigrams Furnace looked at the steel wool ball in Qin Shou’s hand and cried out, "Wait, what is that thing?"

Qin Shou waved the steel wool ball, "Rich lady’s pleasure ball. What’s the matter? Never seen one?"

"Not that, but are you going to use that thing to scrub me?" the Eight Trigrams Furnace screeched.

"What else?" Qin Shou asked matter-of-factly.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace complained, "I am the Dao Ancestor’s Alchemy Furnace, and this is how you treat me?"

Qin Shou replied, "Don’t get excited. This is a rich lady’s pleasure ball, precious stuff that rich people use to spoil their young boyfriends. It’s a privilege for you to be using it today."

The Eight Trigrams Furnace hastily said, "No, no, no... Forget it, don’t pamper me. If I want the soot at the bottom of the pot to stay put, it’ll stay put. You should think about it, if I didn’t have this ability, all those pills would have turned to poison long ago..."

Thinking it over, Qin Shou realized there was indeed some sense to it...

The Eight Trigrams Furnace continued, "Moreover, just like those Spirit Beasts and precious materials, whether you’re cooking or doing something else, steaming and boiling will cause the nutrition to evaporate and stick to the inside of the pot, eventually becoming soot. You’re not going to give me a scrub every day, are you?"

Qin Shou thought about it and agreed with the point...

So Qin Shou stopped scrubbing and stuffed the beast that resembled a large cat directly into the pot, then poured the prepared sauce in and slapped the Eight Trigrams Furnace, saying, "Seal it tight, and heat it up!"

"Uh... Is that sauce for it?" the Eight Trigrams Furnace asked in surprise.

Qin Shou replied, "Dual-purpose. What about it? Want to give it a try?"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace immediately shut up...

Then Qin Shou said, "Set the timer for two hours. Remember, I want you to cook it until the meat falls off the bone, but the meat must not seem tough; keep it tender and juicy. The sauce must be flavorful, and make it a bit spicy..."
