Find Xu Dog at the Start of Chapter 2

Your first meeting with Xu Dog will be early on in Chapter 2, you can find him by dropping down the bridge next to the Village Entrance shrine and heading right into a tunnel. You'll find him standing right before the tunnel exit and he will tell you about a frog swallowing his formula.

Defeat Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw

When you exit the tunnel past Xu Dog, you'll find yourself looking down on an open area with water and a large frog at the center. You will have to defeat the frog, Lang-Li-Guhh-Baw, to retrieve Xu Dog's formula and continue with his quest.

After defeating the frog and obtaining the Evil Repelling Medicament formula, return to Xu Dog and he'll reward you with 2x Evil Repelling Medicament and the ability to craft your own consumables at any shrine.

You'll be able to meet Xu Dog again later on in Chapter 2 but you'll have to first obtain the Sterness of Stone and Keeness of Tiger by defeating both the Stone Vanguard and Tiger Vanguard, respectively.

Open the Crouching Tiger Temple Cellar

Interact with the tally in the middle of the Crouching Tiger Temple by the headless statue where you fought the Tiger Vanguard to reveal the hidden cellar underneath.

Get Through the Cellar to Find Xu Dog

Go down the cellar and fight your way through to the end where you will exit through a cave and a slope that leads to the Cellar shrine. Look around the area and you'll find Xu Dog talking to himself inside a jar next to a furnace.
