Chapter 99: Treasure-Seeking Rat

"Could it be the blessing of the Glazed Immortal Pupils?"

The Treasure Seeking Art taught by Mr. Cao still used the "eyes" to look.

Therefore, treasure-seeking talent might possibly be talent in the aspect of pupil arts.

After the Pine-Needle Rat mutated into a rare beast, its rare beast divine ability was related to the eyes. Lin Jing could only guess this way.

"Take me to the nearest one." He pondered slightly, pulled the Pine-Needle Rat, and soon both sides arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The Pine-Needle Rat pointed to an ordinary-looking broken tree, claiming that a ray of ancient treasure light was emitted from here.

"Dig." Lin Jing still quite liked this feeling of treasure seeking. After digging about three or four meters, a chamber pot with no spiritual power fluctuations was dug out.

It was carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, quite miraculous, and it looked like it had a very long history.

"What the hell!" Lin Jing was furious, directly kicked the chamber pot back into the pit, and buried it again.

"Is this the ancient object Mr. Cao said he placed here?" He suspected that the remaining antiques were all similar things.

"Zhi..." The Pine-Needle Rat pointed in another direction. They hurried over, and then dug out a stone tablet.

Just when Lin Jing thought he had dug up some treasure, the text on it made Lin Jing fall silent. It was clearly a tombstone.

【Tomb of the Qi Refining Immortal Li Tiangang.】

【After killing the pig demon that broke into Li Village, he died of serious injuries.】

It was still a tombstone with no spiritual power fluctuations.

"Rest in peace, sorry for the disturbance, senior." Lin Jing buried it back again. No wonder Mr. Cao was so generous in saying that it didn't matter if the ancient objects were given to them after being found.

Even if it was given away for free, to be honest, he didn't really want it.

"Are most of the ancient treasure lights about the same?"

"Zhi!" The Pine-Needle Rat shrugged. Most of the ancient treasure lights were very faint, except for the dazzling one in the distance.

"Let's leave these ordinary ancient objects to others. We'll go directly to get the one you mentioned." After Lin Jing finished speaking, he rose into the air by controlling Qi. Under the guidance of the Pine-Needle Rat, he flew rapidly toward the mountain peak where the ancient treasure light was most dazzling.

Flying along the way, Lin Jing discovered that many cultivators had better talent than him. At this moment, they had all entered the Art of Treasure Seeking...

It was just that they had also dug up a pile of junk with no value.

"This stone sword..." Outside a cave, Lin Jing also encountered Yuan Jing by chance. The ancient stone sword he was holding had just been imbued with sword intent when it turned into fly ash. This sword hero was immediately extremely disappointed with this so-called ancient treasure.

"Lin Jing?" He also discovered Lin Jing, but both sides just nodded in greeting. After flying for roughly an hour, Lin Jing finally reached his destination.

Here, the ancient treasure light was exceptionally dazzling, looking different from those ancient objects before at a glance. Lin Jing took a deep breath and was about to dig when suddenly a powerful aura descended.

"This fellow student, I discovered this item early on as well."

The person who came was a youth with three pupils, wearing a plain and elegant green robe, his sleeves fluttering, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.

"Late Foundation Establishment!" Lin Jing looked over. This person should be a senior student. Did the other party also discover the extraordinary nature of the ancient treasure light here?

"We arrived first." Although the ancient treasure hadn't been dug out yet, Lin Jing didn't intend to give it up.

Besides two eyes, the youth also had a pupil between his eyebrows. It seemed to be some kind of special constitution.

"Tenth layer of Qi Refining..." The three-eyed youth said: "Having been in seclusion for so long, I didn't expect this year's academy freshmen to be so powerful. Not only have you reached the tenth layer of Qi Refining yourself, but even your pet beast has such cultivation."

"This item is ominous. Would you mind letting me have it? With your cultivation, obtaining this item might not necessarily be a good thing."

"This senior brother, I just happen to like ominous items." Lin Jing remained unmoved.

Seeing that Lin Jing didn't want to give it up, the three-eyed youth shook his head and said: "Very well, then I'll give it to you. My name is Liu Yu. Let's form a good connection. If you are interested, you can come find me after this place closes. The 'Pupil Alliance' I established is currently recruiting people. This is not a sect, just a temporary organization for mutual help among students in the academy. Others might not be as easy to talk to as I am. Joining an organization where everyone can look out for each other and practice the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique together will also have better results."

After speaking, he looked into the distance and then flew away directly.

Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat had originally thought they would have to fight for it to obtain the ancient treasure. Seeing the other party leave directly, they continued to dig.

"Liu Yu, three eyes, he is the thirty-first on the Heaven's Pride Human Ranking." During the digging process, Lin Jing recalled the other party's identity. If they really fought, unless he unsealed the Ice Soul Gu, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat the other party relying only on himself and the Pine-Needle Rat.

"This person also has extremely high treasure-seeking talent!"

"But why would the other party say this item is ominous."

As they dug and dug, they finally dug out the ancient treasure here. The appearance was an ancient wooden box, but the so-called ancient treasure should not be this wooden box, but the item inside the box!

Under the urging of the Pine-Needle Rat, Lin Jing opened the wooden box. Inside was actually a tattered blood-colored marriage contract!

The marriage contract was already tattered beyond recognition, and the handwriting on it was already difficult to distinguish. Only a "joy" character could be vaguely seen. This marriage contract had a long history, and spiritual power still suffused it, but this spiritual power... was extremely cold, and the aura was somewhat similar to the Nether Ghost Fire.

"Is Mr. Cao there?" Lin Jing held the wooden box, fell into deep thought, and called out to Mr. Cao.

"Hahaha..." A moment later, Mr. Cao's phantom condensed here. He looked at Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat and said: "I didn't expect you to have such talent in treasure seeking."

"I originally thought the one with the best talent would be Liu Yu with the three pupils. I didn't expect it to be you. If he were also at the Qi Refining stage, he might not necessarily be able to discover this wooden box."

Mr. Cao looked at Lin Jing, then at the Pine-Needle Rat, and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that it has the bloodline of a Treasure-Seeking Rat? The Art of Treasure Seeking was originally created by the ancient demon race 'Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan' and then taught to their followers."

"Zhi?" The Pine-Needle Rat pointed at itself. It?

Lin Jing nodded, but guessed that it was probably still because of the Glazed Immortal Pupils. He didn't want to delve into this matter, but picked up the wooden box and asked Mr. Cao: "Mr. Cao, what is this? Why is it completely different from other ancient objects? Did you place it here too?"

Cao Ziwei smiled and said: "That's right. I placed three ancient treasures containing spiritual power here, left for students with opportunity. This marriage contract is one of them."

"I also obtained this marriage contract by accident and don't know its origin. However, I can roughly infer... wars were frequent in ancient times. This marriage contract is filled with cold and resentful power. It might be that after a woman was engaged, the man died in battle before he could marry her, so this kind of power condensed on the marriage contract."

Lin Jing fell silent. No wonder the three-eyed one said this item was ominous. It was actually true. The other party's pupil art was remarkable. He said: "Mr. Cao... what is the use of this marriage contract."

Mr. Cao looked at the sky and said: "It has no great use. I just threw the ancient objects in my storage bag that were useless to me here for you to practice the Art of Treasure Seeking. If you don't like it, you can just throw it away later."

"However, if you insist on saying something, the spiritual power on this item is extremely cold and resentful. If a mortal obtains it, they might be plagued by disasters and illnesses. But for a cultivator, one can use this item to temper one's own resistance to spiritual power of that attribute! In the future, if you encounter demon cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect or the Nether Palace, you can also deal with them better." ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
