Chapter 529: Who Doesn't Covet It?

~8 min read 1,519 words

As for spirit pets, as long as they eat things containing spiritual energy, such as spirit stones or beast crystals, they can advance their battle stage.

The tiny, cloud-like Little Abundance Cloud bounced a little. "Yes, the little sweet radishes are delicious, but there are too few of them. They aren't enough to nourish my spiritual power. I was so tired before, I was almost on the verge of vanishing."

Qin Lang searched the ground for the little sweet radishes: "I'll dig a few more little sweet radishes for the Little Abundance Cloud."

"There aren't many left in this patch, you go look." Qin Bi considered that the Little Abundance Cloud's summoning was powerful; since the Marquis Manor, Rong Yang, and Rong Chi had such a treasure-level cloud, it had to be well-nurtured.

However, nurturing a treasure requires quite a lot of resources.

Qin Bi looked at the tiny Little Abundance Cloud and gave it some of the little sweet radishes from her own basket, then walked over to Qin Lang.

Qin Lang dug up a little sweet radish and stood up: "Jiejie."

"The little luck cluster of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor," Qin Lang called out.

As the words fell, the little luck cluster Qin Lang carried with him ran out. What was it doing?

Qin Lang was shocked, speechless: "I carry luck with me too?????"

Did that even need to be said? Qin Bi pointed to her bamboo basket: "I'll split it with you. You and the Little Abundance Cloud each take half the little sweet radishes. You wouldn't share your luck with Qin He if it grew stronger, would you?!"

The little luck cluster was very happy. It naturally understood who the Qin He that Qin Bi mentioned was. After all, it was the little luck cluster of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, and the luck of this fictional cultivation world would protect the family's descendants.

"I wouldn't," the little luck cluster bounced.

From the day it became Qin Lang's luck, only those Qin Lang cared about would be touched by its luck. At worst, it would return to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor and hide from Qin He, not letting her touch even a bit of its luck.

Qin Bi felt relieved, and the little luck cluster ran off to share the little sweet radishes with the Little Abundance Cloud.

Because the Little Abundance Cloud had consumed so much, it was too weak and ate the little sweet radishes very slowly. Yet, the tiny thing never slacked off when summoning. Qin Lang felt a bit bad and gave the spiritual sweet potatoes he had dug up to the Little Abundance Cloud as well.

Qin Lang ran over to tell Qin Tan, whispering in his ear.

Qin Tan took it to heart. Now it was settled: the Qin Yan Marquis Manor team had collected the most spiritual ingredients, but they still had to give them to the Little Abundance Cloud for nourishment. As for the little luck cluster, it didn't need nourishment.

"The Little Abundance Cloud consumes a lot of spiritual power and needs slow nourishment," Qin Di said. "Brother, don't worry. For a Marquis Manor that has just become a cultivation family, it's rare to have such a treasure; we must certainly nurture it well."

The Little Abundance Cloud had contributed; it really had contributed.

Such a treasure—who wouldn't covet it!

The ancestral summoning artifact of the Rong Yan family was so rare that even summoning a single bean sprout was considered precious, let alone a treasure that could summon rain and snow and bring about a bountiful harvest.

Qin Tan's team had collected many little sweet radishes and gave quite a few to the Little Abundance Cloud, leaving little for themselves. Even the third branch's little concubine-born son gave the little sweet radishes he had worked so hard to dig up to the Little Abundance Cloud.

There was no other reason: this was their family's treasure, and if its spiritual power grew strong, it would benefit the third branch greatly.

By rights, the young masters of the Su Guogong Manor should have been saving their spiritual food, but they weren't.

They were still saving? They were eating as they dug; they were all foodies.

"Coming to this small space in the Beast Realm this time is great," the Second Young Master Su said while eating a little sweet radish. "Our luck is good; it's almost reaching the max level of fortune. Foodies are blessed."

Everyone laughed. Qin Tan saw that it was getting late and led the team to find other cultivation families.

When good luck comes, you can't stop it. As they were walking, before it got dark, the third branch's little concubine-born son tripped into a pit. He let out an "Ouch," and a gray spirit rabbit ran out.

Everyone: "......"

They only froze for a second before—whoosh—they all went chasing after the spirit rabbit.

One youth was so happy he didn't know what to say. While chasing, he asked: "What kind of luck is this? We were just about to go find other cultivation teams, and a spirit rabbit just runs out."

"Don't get cocky," Rong Yan told him. "Catch it first."

The young masters of the Su Guogong Manor rolled up their sleeves and put all their strength into the chase: "If this one gets away, I won't be able to eat dinner."

Qin Bi, Lin Yao, Qin Tan, Qin Di, and the Heir Apparent Su didn't join the chase, but they didn't just stand there either, trying their best to circle around and block the spirit rabbit from escaping. It took a while before they finally caught it.

Qin Xun held the spirit rabbit and laughed speechlessly: "Eat, are we still going to eat it?"

If they ate it, other cultivation families would see and think their luck was good. If they didn't eat it? They had to find a place to rest and eat, and a little spirit rabbit had just been delivered to their door.

Everyone looked at each other, frowning in hesitation.

Lin Yao said: "Eat."

The Second Young Master Su hesitated: "If we don't eat it, what if other cultivation families think our luck is good and follow us to collect things tomorrow? We still need to dig for little sweet radishes."

See? They all looked at the spirit rabbit Qin Xun was holding; it had become a source of worry.

Actually, it was just a spirit rabbit; it wouldn't be too eye-catching. The main thing was that they were cautious; when luck is good, you think more, worrying that others will snatch your opportunities.

Considering Qin Bi's poor health, Qin Tan said: "Let's eat it."

Thus, they decided to eat it.

When they reached the resting place, the sky had darkened. The cultivation families that had arrived were talking loudly. Lin Yao went over to ask and found out that they had killed a beast with good-quality meat.

Other teams had killed flame beasts; in short, everyone was in a good mood.

Therefore, when Qin Xun, Jiang Xu, and the young masters of the Su Guogong Manor killed and cleaned the spirit rabbit, the other cultivation families only glanced at it once before continuing to discuss where beasts with good meat could be found.

Spirit rabbit meat was delicious. They roasted it and sat together eating and chatting, not daring to talk about their harvest for the day. They couldn't even hide it well enough, so how could they dare to talk about digging up little sweet radishes?

The next day was incredible. Qin Tan's team and the Heir Apparent Su's team continued to collect things, each with their own harvest; some dug up a pile of spiritual sweet potatoes, others caught wild chickens.

What did Qin Bi find? Don't even mention it: spirit ginseng.

She hadn't even dared to think about medicinal ginseng, yet she had actually found spirit ginseng.

Qin Bi hurriedly called Qin Lang over to help her dig. There were twenty-one spirit ginseng plants, some with high age and some only a few years old. Even if they were only a year old, they were still spirit ginseng!

Lin Yao was shocked and instructed Qin Bi: "This really cannot be mentioned."

Giving one spirit ginseng to the Heir Apparent Su would be heart-wrenching.

Qin Bi pondered: "If we find this many spirit ginseng again, we'll give one to the Heir Apparent Su."

That was possible. Lin Yao nodded. He He Shizi Apparent's wife really dared to think—find this many spirit ginseng again? Do you think they're Chinese cabbage? If you really can find them, giving one away is fine. If you find this many again, who would still feel heart-wrenched about giving one away?

Qin Bi first gave a high-aged spirit ginseng to the Little Abundance Cloud. The Little Abundance Cloud hugged it and ran off; this one was enough for it to recover half its spiritual power.

Qin Bi didn't dare give one to the luck cluster, fearing that Qin He would touch its luck. ===== CHAPTER 530 =====
