Chapter 26: Daoist Robe

Isn't this a red-fleshed dragon fruit?!

Seeing the spirit fruit taken out by Elder Black Bear, Lin Jing was startled.

"Do you want to taste one?"

Elder Black Bear took out another one and handed it to Lin Jing.

"Thank you." Lin Jing put away the Dragon Bone Flower.

Afterwards, he looked into the room and said: "The Pine-Needle Rat should be sleeping now, I'll go call it."

Even the Pine-Needle Rat, which was born to farm and work, had times when it was tired.

Before long, Lin Jing dragged the Pine-Needle Rat out of its sweet dream.

The dazed Pine-Needle Rat looked at the boxes and boxes of Dragon Bone Flowers in the courtyard and fell into deep thought.

However, after vaguely hearing Lin Jing say there was a "reward," it immediately woke up.

Seeing Elder Black Bear nodding, the Pine-Needle Rat tentatively asked:

"Zhi!" It didn't know if it could ask for a storage bag!

"Ah, this..." Elder Black Bear was startled, looking embarrassed.

"Elder Black Bear, you are a Demon Core stage expert, you wouldn't even have a storage bag, right?" Lin Jing couldn't help but say.

"Nonsense!" Elder Black Bear refuted: "It's just... I only have one for my own use at the moment."

"You don't understand. The materials for manufacturing and upgrading natal beast-taming space magic treasures and the materials for manufacturing storage bags are completely overlapping, and the demand is even greater."

"So in the Beast-Taming Sect, ordinary storage equipment is very scarce. Every portion is strictly controlled by the sect and distributed according to need... It can even be said that the spatial materials of the entire Great Desolate Domain have been bought up by the Beast-Taming Sect, leading to very few on the market."

"If you really want one, it's very difficult for me to get you a very good one... I'll be discovered by Elder Mo. But if it's that kind of ultra-small storage bag made of leftover materials, I can try to get you one through 'irregular' channels."

"Irregular channels??? No, ultra-small... how big is it?"

Elder Black Bear stretched out a finger: "It can probably only store one cubic meter of resources."

One cubic meter... it really can't store too many things, it's just more convenient than carrying a bundle, that's all.

"Oh well." Elder Black Bear said: "You make do with it first. When you become true-transmission disciples, you will have space magic treasures. You are only at the Qi Condensation stage, so having too good a storage prop now is of no use."

"Oh, by the way, if you really want one, work hard on the Inner Sect assessment, there is a compliant channel to get a storage bag!"

"The Inner Sect assessment is a point system every year. The better you perform in the assessment, the more assessment points you get. You can exchange for some spirit weapons and pills from the sect when you enter the Inner Sect based on your assessment points. It even includes storage equipment with larger space. It counts as a benefit for disciples who have just been promoted to the Inner Sect, and the exchange power is far greater than the exchange power of sect contribution points obtained from executing missions."

"Inner Sect assessment, huh..." Lin Jing looked at the sky slightly.

Sure enough, no matter where it is, they like to use this promotion system to urge people to make progress.

Elder Black Bear continued: "I think with your situation, you will definitely be the number one in this promotion assessment. Even if the few kids brought back by Elder Li are very fierce, they shouldn't be your opponents, right?"

Lin Jing looked at the Pine-Needle Rat. This guy's mind had indeed flown to the Inner Sect assessment again.

Rubbing its hands and fists, it was really easy to fool.

Soon, Elder Black Bear and Lin Jing reached an agreement. The Pine-Needle Rat would help synthesize the Dragon Bone Flower, and Elder Black Bear would go find an ultra-small storage bag as a reward.

A storage bag with a space of one cubic meter is better than nothing. Although it can't store too many things, it's definitely enough to store red leaves and spirit beans for now.

Thinking that it could have its own storage bag soon, the Pine-Needle Rat was full of energy. Its emerald eyes looked at the Dragon Bone Flowers on the ground.

Glazed Immortal Pupils!

Then, nothing happened.

The Pine-Needle Rat was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Jing with grievance.

With its current strength, it seems... not enough to synthesize this resource.

"Zhi!!!" It rubbed its sore eyes, its eyes collapsing. Storage bag... is it that far away from it?

"Hmm?" Elder Black Bear scratched its head: "Then go break through a few times now? It seems a bit unreliable."

It was too lazy to wait for the Pine-Needle Rat to break through again, so it directly flicked its large sleeve and said: "Wait a moment, I'll lend you something, then try again!"

After speaking, it dug into its storage equipment... and then, dug out a white Daoist robe, the style not much different from the one it was wearing.

"Small, small, small, small———" It chanted at the Daoist robe. Soon, the Daoist robe in its hand shrank to a size similar to the Pine-Needle Rat.

"Put on my Daoist robe. This is a magic tool, and it has the effect of enhancing the magic power of most types. Wood-attribute spiritual power is also among them." As he spoke, he threw the mini Daoist robe to the Pine-Needle Rat.

Whoosh!

The Pine-Needle Rat caught it and opened its mouth slightly.

"This..." Lin Jing also fell silent for a moment and said: "Since it's a magic tool, let's try it."

"Squeak-squeak-squeak." The Pine-Needle Rat nodded and draped it over its body.

The next instant!

The Pine-Needle Rat, wearing a clean and flawless Daoist robe, suddenly carried a transcendent aura.

The hem of the mini Daoist robe swayed gently with the wind. It tightly gripped the edge of the Daoist robe with its small claws and walked two steps. Moving around was not only flexible but also added a bit of immortal style.

Most importantly, the Pine-Needle Rat at this moment... felt an unprecedented super-strong power filling its whole body.

It opened its mouth slightly again, finally knowing why Elder Black Bear loved wearing a Daoist robe.

"Although with its realm, it can't exert the full effect of the Daoist robe, there should be some improvement." Elder Black Bear grinned.

As he spoke, the Pine-Needle Rat looked at the Dragon Bone Flowers on the ground again... With this look, the pupil technique was successfully activated.

And with the activation of the Glazed Immortal Pupils... about one hundred Dragon Bone Flowers instantly turned from bright red to synthesize into a purple Dragon Bone Flower!

"It succeeded!" Elder Black Bear was overjoyed.

"It succeeded!" Lin Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that weapon refining and tailoring can also be learned when there is time!

The quality of the Dragon Bone Flower was clearly higher than spirit rice, spirit beans, and spirit bamboo, and the synthesis difficulty was greater. But at this moment, after the synthesis was completed, the Pine-Needle Rat didn't feel any soreness in its eyes. It couldn't help but touch the Daoist robe on its body lovingly.

"Withdraw!" Unfortunately, before the Pine-Needle Rat could observe carefully, Elder Black Bear took back the Daoist robe and chuckled: "This can't be given to you. These Daoist robes are all the lifeblood I've collected."

The Pine-Needle Rat puffed out its cheeks.

Lin Jing laughed. The value of this Daoist robe is probably more expensive than ordinary storage equipment. This kind of enhancement-type equipment should be bought after getting rich in the future.

"Elder Black Bear, would you like to taste it?" Lin Jing said, a bit curious about the effect of the purple dragon fruit.

"Me try? I won't try. I don't lack this one." Elder Black Bear reached its hand into the sleeve of its Daoist robe, took out a comatose white mouse demon, and shook it awake.

"A ninth-layer Qi Condensation mouse demon, I caught it casually. Let it eat this first one for me."

Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat were speechless.

They didn't know what to say.

This Elder Black Bear is too cautious. Is it necessary for a first-grade spirit fruit synthesis? ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
