Chapter 72 The Unlucky One's Certification
"A little gadget?" Ji Yun Shen was also taken aback. "This is a treasure-hunting rat. Once it grows up along with your cultivation, Junior Sister, you can search for all the rare and precious treasures on this continent."
The others were also unsettled upon hearing this, and they all stared at the little golden mouse. Long Mingyue lifted the treasure-hunting mouse in her hand closer to her eyes.
Looking left and right, the little thing blinked its wet eyes, looking so pitiful. It didn't look as high-class as the senior brother had described.
Perhaps sensing everyone's doubts, the eldest brother added, "Ahem, it's still too small, junior sister, let it go."
Upon hearing this, Long Mingyue let go, and the little guy suddenly jumped onto her head and squatted down.
Seeing the others trying to suppress their laughter, Long Mingyue couldn't help but feel annoyed. "Little thing, get down here."
Fortunately, the little golden mouse was quite sensible and quickly scurried back onto her shoulder. Long Mingyue was in a hurry to continue mining, so she ignored it.
As she dug, she couldn't help but wonder, "Am I really the chosen one? Is this really a treasure-hunting rat? Could Heaven grant me a storage ring? I want a spatial ring."
Then Long Mingyue realized she was being delusional. Spatial rings were incredibly precious; they weren't something she could just get whenever she wanted.
Just as I was about to shake my head and dismiss these unrealistic thoughts, I suddenly realized that the little golden mouse on my shoulder was gone.
Long Mingyue didn't bother looking for it. She didn't really believe that such a small thing, no bigger than the palm of her hand, could be the legendary treasure-hunting rat. She guessed that her senior brother had exaggerated. In her opinion, the little golden rat at most had some of the bloodline of the treasure-hunting rat.
Not long after, just as she was about to put the spirit stones into her storage bag, the little golden mouse suddenly appeared and started squeaking.
Long Mingyue was puzzled, and then she noticed that a golden bag was hooked on its little paw.
She crouched down, took the bag, and examined it carefully, but found nothing unusual.
However, the little golden mouse kept chirping and even pointed at the bag with its little paws.
Long Mingyue decided to trust the little golden mouse's judgment. She opened the bag and found no danger.
"This, this is!" Long Mingyue covered her mouth. My Heavenly Dao Immortal, it can't really be a storage ring, can it?
Two rings were poured out of the bag. She swallowed hard and quietly moved next to her senior brother so he could take a look.
"This is... a spatial ring!" Ji Yun Shen was shocked when he probed it with his divine sense.
"Keep it safe!" Ji Yun Shen quickly glanced at the others, but fortunately everyone was busy digging for spirit stones and no one noticed their little interaction.
After her senior brother confirmed it, Long Mingyue quickly handed him the male ring and bound herself to the female ring.
"Did it find it?" Ji Yun Shen glanced at Long Ming Yue and silently bound the ring.
Long Mingyue nodded frantically, afraid that she would burst out laughing if she opened her mouth.
"Junior sister, what are you and senior brother talking about!" At this moment, senior brother Liu noticed that neither of them had stopped mining.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to persuade my senior brother to come and dig for some spirit stones too! After all, there are so many!" Long Mingyue quickly came up with an excuse.
Ji Yunshen didn't say anything either, and started mining with Long Mingyue.
Long Mingyue was overjoyed. She noticed that the spatial ring was much larger than her storage bag, and it seemed to contain land. She would have to plan it out slowly when she had the chance.
So she dug up spirit stones while secretly transferring them into her spatial ring, secretly enjoying herself.
With everyone's efforts, the vein will soon be exhausted.
"That's enough, let's stop." Ji Yunshen indicated that the spiritual energy in the spirit stones was decreasing, and it wasn't worth digging any further.
Although everyone was a little reluctant to part, they were also quite satisfied, since everyone's storage bags and rings were full.
After everyone left the mine, the ground immediately returned to normal, as if the mine had never existed.
Long Mingyue and the others were even more shocked. The four of them ran over and jumped around, but nothing changed. The land was still land.
Everyone first looked at Jiang Kuan, "Why are you looking at me?" Then they turned to look at Long Mingyue, saw the little golden mouse on her shoulder, and then touched the spirit stones in her storage bag.
Phew, it really isn't a dream!
Even Ji Yun Shen couldn't help but glance at the little golden mouse before looking at Long Ming Yue.
"Let's go, the secret realm hasn't opened yet, let's continue!"
Then, Jiang Kuan leaned against a tree to rest, which attracted a group of Golden Spirit Peaks. Long Mingyue and the others used the formation to surround them again and finally obtained a lot of Golden Spirit Honey.
Later, when they passed a lake, they wanted to catch some water bream to eat.
During the capture, a demonic snake was disturbed, and while the group was fighting it off, they saw the crystal flower again.
The story concludes with the serpent being killed, everyone else unharmed, Jiang Kuan being slapped by the serpent's tail, and the group successfully obtaining the crystal flower.
To be honest, they all felt a bit sorry for Jiang Kuan.
The robes he had just changed into were already torn to shreds by the rats, and he still had a large welt on his forehead from the sting of the Golden Spirit Peak, making him look like an old man. Then, he was slapped by the tail of the demon snake and coughed up blood. Tsk tsk, what a miserable sight!
"Haha, Crystal Flower! I've finally completed the Qingxin Pill in my formula!" Jiang Kuan didn't care about his current appearance; he was only concerned about completing his formula.
"Junior brother, junior brother, isn't the Qingxin Pill only effective with Qingling Fruit?" Senior Brother Zhao clearly knew a little about alchemy.
"Senior brother, you didn't read the pill formula carefully, did you? This ancient pill formula says that it is best to use crystal flowers for refining. The pure spiritual power of crystal flowers, combined with clear spring dew and mirror stone, makes the Heart-Cleansing Pill, which is more effective in purifying the mind and resisting inner demons!" Jiang Kuan started to show off.
"Junior Brother is truly amazing! From now on, we'll rely on you for our pills!" Senior Brother Zhao praised Jiang Kuan generously.
"Of course, of course!"
The group continued on their way. Then, under the guidance of the little golden mouse, Senior Brother Liu dug up a sand mushroom in a sandy area, and of course, he almost got caught in a sand scorpion.
"Phew, that scared me to death!" Senior Brother Liu patted his chest. "Let's get it!"
The group had developed a tacit understanding, and the five of them worked together to quickly deal with the sand scorpions, preparing to continue digging for earthworm mushrooms.
"Ah!" Just when everyone thought Jiang Kuan was alright this time, he let out another scream.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Senior Brother Zhao said with difficulty, "That sand scorpion just stung Jiang Kuan with its tail and then left!"
Senior Brother Zhao was also stunned. He saw it clearly: the sand scorpion was right in front of the two of them, but it quickly chose Jiang Kuan, stung him once, and ran away, leaving Jiang Kuan rolling on the ground with his arms crossed.
The group had no choice but to give him an antidote pill, since he wouldn't die anyway. However, their impression of Jiang Kuan as an unlucky fellow only deepened.
Jiang Kuan had no choice but to start digging for earthworm mushrooms, dragging one hand along. He didn't want to miss out on such a good thing.
