Chapter 9

For the next few days, after Lin Jing learned the Spirit Nourishing Technique, he stopped cultivating and kept reading various books to understand this cultivation world.

Mainly, his cultivation efficiency was too low.

Compared to cultivating himself, he was waiting for the spirit power feedback after the Pine Leaf Rat broke through to drive the improvement of his own cultivation!

This is the normal way for Beast-Taming Sect disciples to become stronger.

And right now, although the Pine Leaf Rat was not absorbing spirit energy normally, the process of frequently using spirit power to ripen spirit rice was also a tempering of spirit power.

After a few days, the spirit rice had grown very tall, and it was not far from maturity.

It must be said that his own Pine Leaf Rat's talent is really good.

Lin Jing learned from miscellaneous books that an ordinary third-layer Qi Condensation Pine Leaf Rat, without external help, would take about half a month to ripen a spirit rice plant to maturity.

But his own Pine Leaf Rat, using less than half the time, had almost finished the farm work.

Although he would occasionally use meager True Qi to relieve the Pine Leaf Rat's mental fatigue with the "Spirit Nourishing Technique," the help he, a mere first-layer Qi Condensation cultivator, could provide would not be very large.

Thanks to the Pine Leaf Rat's own spirit power being pure and unparalleled, and it having patience and never being lazy.

"You are simply a natural farming holy body." Lin Jing closed the book and didn't spare his praise for the Pine Leaf Rat ripening the spirit rice.

"Squeak!"

Although the Pine Leaf Rat didn't know what a natural farming holy body was, it was mostly words praising it.

It worked even harder.

Emerald green pupils looked expectantly at a spirit rice plant in front of it.

Hum!

Before long, the spirit rice finally turned from milky white to white-gold, and emitted a rich rice fragrance. This was the sign of the spirit rice's maturity!!

"Did it succeed?"

The spirit rice matured, and Lin Jing immediately came to the Pine Leaf Rat's side. Together with it, they peeled off the rice husks, only to see the white spirit rice inside, crystal clear and plump, looking extremely tempting!

"From the quality, it's not much worse than the bag issued to us."

Lin Jing's hanging heart finally let go.

Stable!

"Squeak squeak squeak!" The Pine Leaf Rat nodded happily.

As expected of it.

Next, Lin Jing and they immediately separated the remaining rice husks. Finally, thousands of spirit rice grains appeared on the ground, shining brightly.

Looking at the spirit rice all over the ground, Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Rat were in a very good mood. Although they couldn't eat this for long, it was a very good start.

The Pine Leaf Rat looked at a pile of spirit rice.

Then looked at Lin Jing.

The intention was self-evident.

"Hoarding food is a good habit."

"However, we still have to eat these."

"How about this, you take 100 grains."

As if seeing the Pine Leaf Rat's thoughts, Lin Jing smiled and said.

After all, these were the Pine Leaf Rat's hard work. Taking out 100 grains didn't count for anything, and it also satisfied the Pine Leaf Rat's hoarding addiction.

Missing 100 grains wouldn't starve them to death.

Maybe one day when they are too poor to eat dirt, the Pine Leaf Rat can dig out these 100 grains to fill the gaps in their teeth.

Let it hoard!

"Squeak..." As Lin Jing finished speaking, the Pine Leaf Rat was overjoyed, immediately ran over, took out 100 grains, and divided them into a separate pile.

100 grains of spirit rice, although not many.

But looking at these 100 grains of spirit rice that belonged to it, the Pine Leaf Rat felt comfortable all over, as if its pores had been opened, and spirit power erupted in its body.

However, just at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The Pine Leaf Rat's emerald green pupils, which were looking at the hundred grains of spirit rice, suddenly filled with a light, making its eyeballs as dazzling as emeralds.

Immediately after, under the Pine Leaf Rat's panic and Lin Jing's surprise,

Two emerald lights shot out from the Pine Leaf Rat's pupils.

They landed on the hundred grains of spirit rice.

Immediately after, an astonishing scene happened. Under the wrapping of the green light, these hundred grains of spirit rice actually disappeared instantly.

As the green light dissipated, what replaced it was a brand new golden spirit rice grain lying on the ground...

At the same time.

In the Pine Leaf Rat's mind.

An unknown inheritance information appeared.

It was as if it were a supernatural power hidden in its bloodline.

Making it understand without being taught.

"Glazed Immortal Pupil"

Even if it is a pile of waste stones, once reflected in the Glazed Immortal Pupil, it will be sublimated into precious glazed gemstones.

Glazed Immortal Pupil can synthesize a certain amount of the same type of resources into another precious resource.

Like immortal magic, turning stones into gold.

"Squeak?"

One hundred grains of white spirit rice turned into a golden mysterious spirit rice grain in the sight of the Pine Leaf Rat and Lin Jing.

Such a change made Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Rat shocked at the same time.

"I knew it, there must be something special about the change on the day of the contract."

"You really mutated from an ordinary spirit beast to a Precious Beast."

"Precious Beast supernatural power, it's this one in front of me!"

The means of turning decay into magic, like turning stones into gold, causing qualitative change through quantitative change!

This golden spirit rice grain looked much more precious than the white spirit rice!

Lin Jing couldn't help but speak.

But the next moment, he couldn't hold it anymore.

He only saw the Pine Leaf Rat kneeling on the ground, picking up the golden spirit rice grain, and tears streaming down its face.

"Squeak!!!"

It didn't want one golden spirit rice grain, it wanted 100 white spirit rice grains!!!

Lin Jing's mouth twitched.

This squirrel seems to be terminally ill.

This golden spirit rice clearly looks more precious.

Do you care so much about your 100 white spirit rice grains?

"Alright."

"I'll give you another 200 white spirit rice grains, exchange..."

Lin Jing just wanted to say, use 200 ordinary spirit rice grains to exchange for that golden spirit rice grain for research.

Who knew, the extremely sad Pine Leaf Rat looked fiercely at this golden spirit rice grain.

And then bit it to pieces and ate it!

As if to take revenge on it.

"Damn, you just ate it like that." Lin Jing was startled again.

He didn't know its effect yet.

"A golden spirit rice grain synthesized from one hundred ordinary spirit rice grains, logically speaking, the effect should be more than a hundred times that of ordinary spirit rice, right?"

"Otherwise, this supernatural power would be meaningless, and the so-called Precious Beast would not live up to its name."

"It's just one hundred grains of ordinary spirit rice, not one hundred bowls, it shouldn't be enough to burst it."

Thinking of this, Lin Jing relaxed a little.

"If the effect can be comparable to a spirit stone, that would be great."

Lin Jing had thought that this golden spirit rice grain would be like a spirit stone, which could be of great help to cultivation.

Unfortunately, the facts were not so.

After a golden spirit rice grain full of spirit energy was swallowed, a trace of crimson flashed across the Pine Leaf Rat's pupils. Not only did it not feel full, but a strong sense of hunger filled its heart.

Immediately after, under Lin Jing's silent gaze, it was like a starving ghost, thunderous "rumbling" sounds came from its stomach, and it ran to the spirit rice pile like a demon, frantically stuffing the spirit rice that had just been produced into its mouth.

Because of the bloodline contract with the Pine Leaf Rat, Lin Jing could feel the Pine Leaf Rat's current state.

Hungry. Very hungry.

The effect of this golden spirit rice grain was not fullness, but making the eater feel hungry!

Under the urge of this hunger, the Pine Leaf Rat could be said to be binge-eating. A large amount of spirit rice was quickly stuffed into its mouth. However, if it were before, if so much spirit rice were eaten, it would definitely be full immediately and unable to quickly digest the nutrition and spirit energy.

But this time, its digestive ability seemed to have been terrifyingly improved. A pile of spirit rice was swept away, and not only did it look like it had no discomfort, but its own aura was constantly improving, as if... it had digested all the nutrition of the spirit rice in an instant and transformed it into its own strength!

Until... after eating everything, the Pine Leaf Rat's binge-eating demon state stopped, and it gradually recovered its sobriety...

"Enhancing digestive ability and quickly absorbing nutrition? The effect of the golden spirit rice grain... is actually so powerful." Lin Jing took a deep breath. This is much stronger than simply improving the quality of spirit rice. What is the origin of this Precious Beast supernatural power...

Suspected to be transformed from the fall of immortals into alien stars, because of the mutation caused by starlight... does this count as a kind of immortal inheritance?

"No matter what, Precious Beasts are indeed as Elder Mo said, very powerful. We won't be short of money in the future." He sighed with emotion.

However... Lin Jing was happy, but the Pine Leaf Rat recovered, and after seeing that all the spirit rice it had worked hard to plant for a week had disappeared, it opened its eyes in confusion, including the 200 grains Lin Jing gave it again... all were eaten by it at this time.

The plan to hoard food was shattered again!

"Squeak!!!!" In the courtyard, the Pine Leaf Rat made a heart-rending cry. What kind of broken supernatural power is this? It can't hoard, it can't hoard at all. Why didn't it awaken a space supernatural power!!!
