“It can be said that they’re valuable treasure even in the divine realm!
Everyone was finally moved. This fat and round guy was actually a tall-handsome-rich 2 level.
The Gold-seeking Rat looked at Ling Han with an ingratiating expression. It felt the greatest terror toward Hu Niu, and truly like a rat encountering a cat, even its reactions weren’t keen, or else, with its speed, normal people couldn’t possibly catch it.
But this human could subdue Hu Niu, naturally making it fawn on Ling Han; whether or not it could escape the fate of going in the grill or the boiling pot was completely dependent on Ling Han.
Its two small claws clasped the Jade Sea Azure Metal, rocking it as if presenting a gift.
Ling Han couldn’t help but smile and let down the Gold-seeking Rat, taking the Jade Sea Azure Metal and causally wiping away the saliva this little guy left.
Zi liu , the big white rat hurriedly took to its heels.
It might look fat and round, like it would pant in a few steps, but its speed was surprisingly fast. Fleeing shortly, it disappeared without a trace—ridiculously fast.
Everyone was taken aback, and the finally realized they were tricked by an old rat.
Who could’ve thought that it looked endearingly silly in Hu Niu’s hands, but was agile to this degree.
“Simply an agile damned fatty!” Ling Han thought about Ma Duo Bao, who was also a damn fatty yet extremely agile.
“Niu’s grilled meat!” Hu Niu cried out. She’d just decided how to eat it, but the food ran away.
Ling Han laughed, and said, “This large white rat has great use; the next time we catch it, let’s keep and raise it.”
Hu Niu pouted. She really wanted to eat, so what could she do? Her gaze turned to the rabbit, her large eyes glowing even more.
The rabbit instinctively covered its butt in shock, and cried out, “Little girl, what do you want to do? I’m warning you, don’t have any ideas about Uncle Ra— ah!” it screamed as it was already bitten on the butt by Hu Niu.
Everyone continued to eat. In a short while, Hu Niu suddenly laughed loudly and raised both arms, cupping a fat and round large white rat in her hands.
What else was it if not that Gold-seeking Rat?
This time, it was caught red-handed. This large white rat’s claws clasped a piece of meat and a part of its mouth bulged out, apparently from having shoved in too much food. It used its innocent eyes to look at everyone—it was adorkable.
Everyone couldn’t help but smile and start to laugh.
“I’ve seen a foolish one, but foolish to this degree… this Gold-seeking Rat is quite a miracle.”
“Humans die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food, how truly fitting.”
“This is definitely a gluttonous rat. Earlier, it smelled the aroma and ran over, and being caught once, it still hasn’t learned its lesson, falling twice in the same place.”
Hearing everyone speak, the large white rabbit embarrassedly used its claws to cover its eyes as if its face was going red.
Ling Han laughed loudly, grabbed the large white thing again, and said, “Fatty, follow me in the future. I’ll guarantee you’ll have enough good wine and food, and as for you, just display your talent and find rare metal for me.”
The large white rat squeaked and gesticulated with its hands and feet as if protesting… I just ate a few pieces of your meat, and you want to make this rat sell itself?
“You dare not to agree?” Hu Niu moved closer, and revealed a vicious look.
The large white rat was immediately scared stiff as its tail suddenly straightened and its four limbs upright; its entire body was rigid, actually being scared to the point of passing out.
Pu , everyone laughed loudly. This rat was too hilarious.
It was a cowardly rat that actually consecutively came to steal food, and it was a daring rat that was frightened unconscious—five stars for its acting cute.
Xiu , but at this moment, the large white rat took advantage of Ling Han’s carelessness and fled like a wisp of smoke.
Sh*t!
Everyone’s smiles instantly froze, having been tricked once again by the large white rat.
Ling Han took out large amounts of food, and said, “I don’t believe it. This fatty will definitely appear again!”
Everyone shook their heads. As gluttonous as that Gold-seeking Rat was, it wouldn’t make the same mistake thrice, right?
As expected, a night passed, and the large white rat didn’t appear again. It was early morning, and the change from day to night was almost done in an instant. The sky full of stars and the moon disappeared at the same time, and that large fireball rose into the sky.
Although Ling Han thought constantly of that Gold-seeking Rat, there wasn’t any time to waste now, so he moved forward with everyone.
Chapter 703 - Submission
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Henyee
They all spent the next day in hiding.
Although there weren’t many beasts here, each one was extremely powerful, starting out at the Deity Transformation Tier, and Heaven Tier ones would appear frequently, so they could only make a detour.
Perhaps there were also Shattering Void Tier beings that just hadn’t revealed their presence yet.
Due to constant hiding and circling, they didn’t make much progress on their way throughout the day. The sun set and the moon rose again, and everyone stopped once again to rest and reorganize.
“Haha, Niu caught it again!” Hu Niu suddenly shouted joyously, grabbing the white and fat rat with her hand.
This large white rat looked pitifully at everyone as if lamenting why it was so gluttonous, walking into a trap again.
Ling Han laughed loudly and took the Gold-seeking Rat. This time, he directly stored it into the Black Tower, and then separated a part of his divine sense to go in.
Once the Gold-Seeking Rat was free, it obviously fled in disarray, sniffing with its small nose, and then looking rapaciously at the endless medicinal farms in the Black Tower. It actually fed on metal, and the more precious the metal the more powerful it could become.
However, this one was different. It indeed ate gold and metals, which could strengthen it, but it was also gluttonous and liked to eat spirit medicine. Now, it was even in love with grilled meat, chicken soup, and so on.
So much spirit medicine, it was going to eat to its heart’s content.
However, as it moved, it surprisingly discovered that it fell into the hands of that human.
“Fatty, you can’t escape from the palm of my hand,” Ling Han said with a smile, loosening his hand again, and said, “Run again.”
The Gold-Seeking Rat was strongly resilient and immediately took to its heels again, even determined to eat everything here clean so as to ridicule this human. However, in a while, it fell into Ling Han’s hand again.
It was confused. This human’s speed was clearly not as fast as its own speed, and it had the natural ability to flee into the ground because it was able to feed on metal; its teeth were also the finest, and whatever was bitten would be broken. Opening a path with its teeth, it should have run away smoothly?
Escape again!
This time, it dug down in a rush, attempting to flee through the earth, but after digging for at least ten li, a human face suddenly appeared in front of it; who else was it if it wasn’t that man?
This time, it was truly frightened, straightening its tail. With a pa , it flipped over and lay down with its big white belly facing the sky, looking like it’d been frightened to death.
“I’m not an adorable thing like you, you think I’d be deceived by you?” Ling Han laughed loudly, picked up the Gold-seeking Rat by its tail, and said, “Don’t feign death! Look, such a large place with spirit medicine planted everywhere and all sorts of beasts with fresh quality meat…”
He paused shortly, and carried on patiently, “How about it, as long as you follow me, I’ll provide spirit medicine and as much d
elicious meat you as you like!
Zhi!
The fat rat came to life at once, standing on its hind legs, and squeaked at Ling Han as if bargaining.
“I can’t understand what you’re saying, but so long as you nod whether you’re willing to follow me or not?” Ling Han let out a devilish alluring sound.
The fat rat struggled and finally closed its small claws in a manner of submission.
Alright, you’re one of mine from now… my rat, I’ll give you a name. Since you’re so fat and like someone, it would be too unreasonable not to take advantage of it to mock him, Ling Han thought. He then said, “From now on, you’re called Bai Duo Bao, nickname, Fatty, or Small White.”
The Gold-seeking Rat squeaked in remonstration. It wasn’t fat; this was called sensual.
Ling Han brought the Gold-seeking Rat outside with a smile, and said, “Little guy is now one of us. Its name is Bai Duo Bao and nickname’s Fatty, and Small White.”
Zhu Xuan Er immediately burst into laughter. She knew Ling Han did it in bad taste, yet didn’t know how Ma Duo Bao would look if he met this Gold-seeking Rat in the future.
“Brother Ling truly has surprising fortune, being able to obtain a treasure like the Gold-seeking Rat,” Wenren Qian Qian exclaimed. It was attracted by Ling Han’s food and caught by Hu Niu. Ling Han subdued it, so how could she have the shame to ask to share the benefits?
Ling Han smiled. In this life, his luck was indeed great—obtaining three Mystical Powers was a proof thereof. In reality, his luck in the previous life was also not bad for him to bump into the Black Tower. The level of this divine tool… impossible to fathom!
The Gold-seeking Rat climbed onto Ling Han’s shoulder, squeaking and gesticulating. It meant that it had eaten secretly just now and didn’t have enough. Now, it was time for it to eat to its heart’s content.
Ling Han casually took food to feed this fatty. Hu Niu still couldn’t hide her rapaciousness and stared at the Gold-seeking Rat, making the Gold-seeking Rat break out in a cold sweat as it ate. There seemed to be something terrifying hiding inside this small human, giving the cute rat psychological trauma and deeply hurting its heart.
“It should be a young rat,” the rabbit said.
“Why do you say that?” everyone asked.
Hu Niu said, “Yes, yes. It’s grown so fat already, it’s completely fine to eat. It can’t be small!”
“A mature Gold-seeking Rat would have golden fur. It has white fur only when they’re young,” the rabbit explained. “The Gold-seeking Rat’s ability to find rare metal is correlated with its age. The older it is, the higher the tier of metal it can find.”
So, this was still a little guy, no wonder it was so gluttonous and was fooled time and time again. It couldn’t be helped, being young and ignorant.
Zhu Xuan Er’s maternal instinct broke out as she went to hug the Gold-seeking Rat, and said, “Don’t know where Small White’s parents went, actually throwing away such a little baby.”
Hu Niu drooled and said, “More, there’s two more big ones. Niu’s not craving at all!”
“Haha, its parents might be long dead,” the rabbit said. “Gold-seeking Rats are very special, born by spawn, and if the deposited egg doesn’t have suitable conditions, it’s not strange if it doesn’t hatch in a hundred millennia, or a thousand millennia.
This made Hu Niu greatly disappointed as her hopes for a new taste were dashed.
After eating and drinking enough, everyone began to rest, cultivating a little, ridding the exhaustion during the day, and preparing for a possible battle encounter tomorrow.
The Gold-Seeking Rat was endearingly silly as expected. When it slept, its four feet faced the sky and it let out a large snoring sound. Unbearably noisy, it was thrown into the Black Tower by Ling Han, and finally everyone had some quiet.
The second day, everyone set out. Ling Han let the Gold-seeking Rat out so that it could find rare metals.
No kidding, this fatty really was no slouch. In the short time of a day, it gave Ling Han three pieces of rare metal. One was fourth-tier and two were fifth-tier, and although it wasn’t all that precious, it was all for free.
Another night passed, and the day came as usual. This was already the fourth day since they’d entered here.
When they were walking, they heard a sharp cry as a dark cloud appeared in the sky, quickly overshadowing them.
Everyone looked up and saw that it wasn’t a dark cloud, but a huge eagle, dark green all over and without feathers, covered in scales not unlike a green armor, emitting a threatening chill.
Everyone’s hair stood up because this was a supreme existence at the Shattering Void Tier, and its stare could kill them several hundred times.
Chapter 704 - A Strange Medicine Treasure
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Henyee
Fortunately, this green eagle didn’t care about them, the nobodies, and fluttered its wings as it flew by. In its claws, a golden rhinoceros the size of a small mountain hung with its body in tatters, bleeding all the way.
This Eight Treasures Gold Rhinoceros was in the Heaven Tier!
The golden rhinoceros’s blood sprayed down, an absolute calamity for the living spirits below. The blood contained a Heaven Tier beast’s baleful Qi, and even Deity Transformation Tier elites would be shocked to death when coming in contact with it.
Such blood was precious medicine, but at least over ten Deity Transformation Tier elites cooperating were needed to remove the baleful Qi to collect it.
No matter whether it was Yao Hui Yue, Jia Ming, or Xu Xiu Ran, when encountering such a situation, they could basically do nothing but shake their heads and make a detour. But it was different for Ling Han, for he had the Heaven Transformation Bowl.
This treasure was unleashed, and it collected the golden rhinoceros’s blood, directly extracting the purest of essence. The medicinal effects would be stronger, yet without the baleful Qi.
However, no one would dare consume such a precious liquid; even if it wasn’t at the Shattering Void Tier, it was still in high-level Heaven Tier, and with their current cultivation, whoever ate it would explode.
“Even a Shattering Void Tier beast has appeared,” they exclaimed.
This is a female eagle, and might have just given birth to a convocation of small eagles. If one could be raised, then it’ll be awe-inspiring in the future,” the rabbit suddenly said.
Everyone was visibly moved. The tier of beasts depended more on bloodline, and this green eagle had reached the Shattering Void Tier, so its offspring could also reach Shattering Void Tier as long it was provided with sufficient “nutrition.”
This was the greatest difference between humans and beasts, but in contrast, beasts were also limited by bloodline. If this green eagle wanted to cross over Shattering Void Tier and advance into the divine realm, it would be something almost impossible.
… Unless it could receive supreme precious medicine and shatter the constraints of bloodline.
This was too distant, but raising a Shattering Void Tier beast, just how shocking would its value be?
“Grilled eagle legs!” Hu Niu’s thoughts were obviously offbeat as her eyes started to light up.
Ling Han shook his head, and said, “Don’t indulge in flights of fancy. A Shattering Void Tier beast’s nest is filled with that green eagle’s baleful Qi, and if we were to go in, we’d be turned into fine dust before seeing the eggs.”
Hearing him say so, everyone also shook their heads. Right, that was an existence of the Shattering Void Tier, so who could sneak into its nest?
“Let’s go!” They continued onwards. After two more days, Rock Spirit completely refined the heart of stone and advanced into the Spiritual Infant Tier, and it was also high-level Spiritual Infant Tier.
This type of worldly spirit was strong to begin with, and it was difficult for it to find rivals in the same tier, being a king amongst kings. With its current battle prowess, it could even rival freaks like Yao
Hui Yue.
Ling Han was extremely pleased. Now, the Rock Spirit was finally a qualified hatchet man again, while Black Tower could also produce one rare stone every month, so the Rock Spirit’s speed of improvement should surpass his, becoming more and more gelivable.
At this time, the expansive area finally reached an end, and an extremely vast watery area appeared in front; at least, Ling Han couldn’t see its end even with the Eye of Truth activated.
At the junction of land and water, there was a strange medicinal plant growing. It was fifteen meters tall and entirely white, with fruit like a corn cob, but many times larger. That fruit emitted a faint aroma that made people who smelled it relaxed and happy.
However, Ling Han’s party wasn’t the only one that discovered this precious medicine. Many more people discovered it—like Jia Ming, who stood on the side with his hands behind his back and wore a beast-like grim smile.
Ling Han also saw Yao Hui Yue, who was also alone. There was also the Rain Emperor and Mu Rong Qing—they each brought their own team; an adventure like this was the best to foster friendship, and of course the best to destroy it.
Yuan Cheng He was also present. He gave Ling Han a slight nod and evidently honored his promise to respect Ling Han as the boss.
What was this precious medicine?
Ling Han raised such doubts. He was the Alchemy Emperor in his former life, and when it came to recognizing spirit medicine, no one would dare say they were first if he said he was second. As for many precious medicines that were already extinct, he’d also seen their appearances in graphical archives.
However, he’d never seen nor heard of such a precious medicine.
Now, everyone was restraining each other, so a fierce battle didn’t unfold. Besides, the precious medicine seemed to be a few days from reaching maturity, which made everyone refrain from clashing fiercely.
Ling Han felt it strange. This indeed was a fine precious medicine, the aroma of which proved that it definitely was a top-tier treasure, but why didn’t the Flame King and the elites of the five great sects collect it earlier in passing?
