Can a good dog, enlightened with unexpected magic, advance in a cultivation world? Wou and his beloved boy Zhoulu will try! Wou, a healthy, smart young dog of the peasant family surnamed Kwan, through some amazing happenstance, has absorbed the Legacy of Knowledge (an immortal-grade skill stone that held everything a (sadly deceased) wise old cultivator knew) and become and Awakened Beast. Wou is owned by 12 year old Zhoulu, a dutiful boy in a small dry isolated province of west-central Xianxia. Wou is washed every night so he can sleep inside with his boy. He already led a pampered life for a village dog, and now he is now an Awakened Beast with all the knowledge of an elite of the immortals, but in a mortal dog's body. He wants the best for his boy, so he uses the knowledge granted by the skill stone to advance in the cultivation world and to help his boy to follow his Dao. How can Wou help his boy, make magic, and advance his cultivation – with no spoken language, four paws, and a wagging tail? ==================== Dog MC with human sidekick; peasants in a cultivation world. Occasional physical conflict / violence; mostly problem solving by an awakened dog. Dog and boy mature and advance as the story unfolds. Cultivation levels; minimal stats.
