Chapter Index

    “Dragon Seeking? A Dragon-Seeking Master!?”

    Lu Changsheng saw the technique and immediately showed surprise and delight.

    He had heard a thing or two about this skill.

    Later, he learned from Hong Lian that Dragon-Seeking Masters had the ability to survey veins, locate mines, pinpoint spiritual veins, and cultivate them.

    Back then, he thought if he could acquire the skills of a Feng Shui Master or Dragon-Seeking Master, the family’s spiritual veins could be upgraded faster.

    He didn’t expect that the system would actually grant him a Second-Tier Dragon-Seeking skill so quickly.

    “It’s a pity it’s only Second-Tier.”

    “I wonder what a Second-Tier Dragon-Seeking Master can achieve?”

    Lu Changsheng said with a bit of regret.

    With his current vision, a Second-Tier skill was already somewhat beneath him.

    He looked at the Second-Tier Dragon-Seeking skill in the system space.

    [Second-Tier Dragon-Seeking Technique: After use, directly obtain the full Second-Tier Dragon-Seeking skill and basic technique knowledge.]

    “Use.”

    Lu Changsheng said without hesitation.

    In an instant, a vast amount of knowledge flooded into his mind.

    After a long time.

    “Dragon-Seeking, pinpointing veins, and mining… So the main methods of a Dragon-Seeking Master rely on spiritual perception and their eyes.”

    “No wonder this heritage is so rare; I’ve never heard of any famous Dragon-Seeking Masters.”

    Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, his expression slightly dazed, as he grasped the various techniques of a Dragon-Seeking Master.

    A Dragon-Seeking Master uses spiritual perception and ocular techniques to sense spiritual veins, see through illusions, and penetrate the source, finding the location of spiritual veins and spirit mines.

    The method of severing the source of spiritual veins, mentioned by Hong Lian, was also included.

    This method is extremely profound and mysterious, somewhat similar to the transplantation techniques of a Spirit Plant Master, but much more difficult.

    If the severing of the spiritual vein source fails, it is equivalent to destroying the entire spiritual vein!

    Even if the source is successfully severed, the process will result in significant losses.

    For example, a complete Second-Tier High-Tier spiritual vein might lose half of its source after severing.

    Because of this, few Dragon-Seeking Masters dare to cultivate this method.

    After all, practicing on spiritual veins requires capital; how many people can afford that?

    However, besides this severing method, Lu Changsheng’s mind also contained several ways to nourish spiritual veins, which could accelerate their growth.

    “Source Spirit Perception, Source Spirit Ocular Technique.”

    Lu Changsheng contemplated the two main techniques of a Dragon-Seeking Master.

    Although he had obtained the full skill,

    these two techniques required cultivation, the consumption of Natural Treasures, and continuous enhancement of one’s spiritual perception and eyes.

    Only in this way could he sense the presence of spiritual veins and spirit mines in the mountains and rivers without performing the technique.

    Then, through the ocular technique, he could find the exact location of the spiritual vein and discern its source.

    “Forget about Source Spirit Perception; I’m not really going to be a Dragon-Seeking Master. But this Source Spirit Ocular Technique could be worth cultivating.”

    “My family has the Lingming Treasure Tree, and its sap can be used to cleanse the eyes, enhancing the Spirit Eye Technique.”

    “Moreover, since Miaoyun has refined the Lingming Treasure Tree as her Innate Spirit Root and dual cultivated with me, it has made my eyes clearer, making it much easier to cultivate this ocular technique.”

    Lu Changsheng pondered.

    Previously, he had only practiced the most basic Spirit Eye Technique.

    Later, among the many inheritances given by Hong Lian, there was a decent ocular technique.

    But considering his talent, the time it would take, and the fact that the technique was more combat-oriented, he didn’t cultivate it.

    Now, this Source Spirit Ocular Technique had the effect of seeing through illusions and penetrating the source, and since it required no time to comprehend, he thought it might be worth cultivating.

    Once the ocular technique was mastered, he could go out and try to find spiritual veins to upgrade Bihu Mountain.

    After all, the spiritual veins in Bihu Mountain were indeed insufficient now.

    Whether for his children’s future Foundation Establishment, cultivating spirit plants, or his own breakthrough to Golden Core Formation, higher-Tier spiritual veins were needed.

    Three days later.

    At the Lu Family Mansion.

    “Father, it’s about Sister Ruyi; she’s gone missing.”

    “I found out that Sister Ruyi’s last known location was the Wujing Ore Field in the Black Cloud Mountain Range.”

    “This mine is currently being jointly exploited by our family and the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain. I asked the Zhao Family, and they said Sister Ruyi did indeed come to the Wujing Ore Field some time ago, but she left after confirming the mining situation.”

    “I searched for Sister Ruyi’s Identity Token in the Hongye Valley Marketplace and the Black Cloud Mountain Range, but it hasn’t responded.”

    Lu Yun reported respectfully to Lu Changsheng.

    “Ruyi, Black Cloud Mountain Range, Wujing Ore Field, White Tiger Mountain Zhao Family.”

    Hearing this, Lu Changsheng squinted his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.

    It had been six days since the Avatar Talisman was used.

    And through the family records, he could confirm that his daughter was still alive.

    But after six days with no news, no return, and no response from the Identity Token, it meant her Storage Bag had likely been taken.

    But with the Avatar Talisman for escape, how could her Storage Bag have been taken?

    “In other words, Ruyi probably wasn’t attacked by a monster or a rogue cultivator; instead, her Storage Bag was taken first, and then she escaped using the Avatar Talisman.”

    A hint of coldness appeared in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

    “Changsheng, this matter is likely related to the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain.”

    Li Feiyu, who was beside him, spoke directly, with a hint of killing intent between his brows.

    Although he had no evidence,

    based on the current information, he immediately judged that Lu Ruyi had been harmed by someone she knew.

    “Yun’er, tell the family disciples not to go out. I will go and bring Ruyi back.”

    Lu Changsheng said calmly.

    Since his daughter’s last known location was the Black Cloud Mountain Range, he naturally suspected the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain.

    Although he couldn’t figure out why the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain would suddenly target Lu Ruyi,

    as long as he found his daughter, everything would become clear.

    “Father, do you know where Sister Ruyi is?”

    Lu Yun asked in surprise.

    “Yes, I have my methods.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded lightly.

    He then returned to the talisman room in Sumeru Cave Heaven, holding a Talisman Pen and taking out a piece of Third-Tier talisman paper, and began to draw a talisman.

    The Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture he obtained was all-encompassing.

    Among them was a talisman called the “Blood-Tracking Talisman.”

    The user could use their own blood to make the talisman point to the location of someone related by blood.

    After three hours.

    The Talisman on the talisman table surged with spiritual power, emitting a flash of scarlet light.

    Then the light retracted, leaving only a mysterious and complex rune flowing slowly.

    “Phew! Finally done!”

    Lu Changsheng let out a long breath, picked up the talisman, and left the talisman room.

    “Husband, Changsheng.”

    Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge also learned about u Ruyi’s situation and approached with concern.

    This was the first time something like this had happened to Bihu Mountain, so they had to take it seriously.

    “This talisman is called the ‘Blood-Tracking Talisman.’ It can track down Ruyi using our blood connection.”

    Seeing the two women, Lu Changsheng smiled and explained.

    He then left Sumeru Cave Heaven, and in front of the two women, he smeared his blood on the talisman to activate it.

    “Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

    However, after the talisman was activated, it spun in place.

    It pointed to Bihu Mountain one moment, then towards Ruyi County the next.

    “Uh, what…”

    Seeing this, Lu Changsheng was speechless.

    He thought to himself, what a useless talisman, and it’s supposed to be Third-Tier.

    It’s not even remotely accurate!

    “Ahem.”

    He immediately let out a light cough to cover up his embarrassment, then went to Biyun Peak to find Lu Ruyi’s mother and smeared a drop of her blood on the talisman.

    Immediately, the Blood-Tracking Talisman glowed faintly, pointing in a specific direction.

    “I’ll go alone.”

    Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoge, Li Feiyu, and the thers.

    He then rode the purple flying shuttle, followed the Blood-Tracking Talisman’s guidance, and left Bihu Mountain to find his daughter, Lu Ruyi.

    In a desolate wilderness.

    “Huff, huff, huff—”

    Lu Ruyi saw that the bear demon was no longer chasing her and immediately leaned against a large tree to rest, panting heavily.

    These past few days of survival in the wilderness made her deeply understand the difficulties of ordinary cultivators.

    Before this, she knew that her brothers and sisters had better conditions than most rogue cultivators.

    But she never imagined that without Artifacts, pills, talismans, and Spirit Stones, surviving alone outside was so difficult.

    At first, she encountered a First-Tier early-stage demon beast, which she killed with her Sixth Layer of Qi Refining cultivation.

    But after the kill, she immediately realized a problem.

    Without Spirit Stones or pills, it was extremely slow and troublesome to recover spiritual power.

    In the following days, she avoided fighting whenever possible.

    She was afraid of running out of spiritual power and attracting other demon beasts.

    As for food and drink, she only dared to find some familiar wild fruits and quietly hunted a few animals to eat.

    “The family token is gone too. I wonder if they can find me…”

    Lu Ruyi looked around at the dense foliage and towering ancient trees, biting her lip, feeling powerless.

    Over the past few days, she roughly realized that she was still in the Black Cloud Mountain Range.

    Although the Black Cloud Mountain Range wasn’t particularly dangerous,

    in her current state, getting out would be extremely difficult.

    Especially since the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain was certainly looking for her now.

    If she had her Storage Bag with Artifacts and talismans, she could ride the Ironfeather Eagle home or send a message and wait for rescue.

    After all, with Artifacts and talismans at her disposal,

    even if she encountered a Late-Stage First-Tier demon beast, she would have some confidence.

    But without Artifacts, talismans, Spirit Stones, or pills, she was truly lost and helpless.

    “Rustle, rustle, rustle—”

    Just then, a rustling sound came from the distance.

    Lu Ruyi immediately tensed up, held her breath, restrained her aura, and remained still.

    Although she had learned wilderness survival skills in Qingzhu Mountain and Bihu Mountain in her early years,

    it was all theory and she had never really practiced it.

    The night before last, while resting, she was almost killed by a demon beast that got too close.

    Fortunately, her protective robes saved her life, but the experience left her shaken, and she remained vigilant, alert to every movement.

    “Phew!”

    After a while, Lu Ruyi saw that there was no danger and let out a sigh of relief, finding a cliff cave to rest in.

    “Huff, huff, huff—”

    Not long after, she suddenly heard a commotion outside, accompanied by the cries of eagles and birds, and quickly hid.

    “Ruyi!”

    At that moment, she heard a familiar voice calling out.

    “Father…”

    Lu Ruyi heard the voice and thought she was dreaming, thinking it was an illusion.

    Over the past few days, she had imagined many times that her father or someone from the family would come to rescue her.

    But she knew that without her Storage Bag, and with her family token taken, they would have no way to find her.

    But in the next moment,

    she saw a tall, handsome young man in a green robe, with gentle eyes full of concern, appear at the entrance of the cave.

    “Ruyi.”

    Seeing his daughter in such a state, Lu Changsheng’s eyes filled with pity.

    He knew she must have suffered a lot in the past few days.

    “Father… sob, sob…”

    Lu Ruyi finally realized that her father had really found her. She suddenly rushed towards Lu Changsheng, hugging him tightly and crying in his arms, her voice full of grievance.

    All the fear and helplessness she had felt over the past few days burst out at this moment.

    She wasn’t a weak-willed person.

    Otherwise, she wouldn’t have volunteered to handle affairs and manage the family’s business partnerships.

    But in all these years, she had never been so wronged or experienced such a life-and-death situation.

    “There, there, don’t cry. It’s okay now; Father is here.”

    Lu Changsheng felt a pang of heartache seeing his daughter in tears and comforted her.

    He had always had a soft heart and couldn’t stand to see women cry, especially his own daughter.

    Although he hadn’t paid much attention to his daughter Lu Ruyi in recent years, he had doted on her a lot when she was younger.

    After all, she was his third child to have a Spirit Root, after Lu Xian’er and Lu Quanzhen.

    After a while, Lu Ruyi wiped away her tears, her eyes red as she apologized, “Father, it’s my fault for being useless and worrying you.”

    “It’s okay, as long as you’re safe.”

    Lu Changsheng gently wiped the tears from the corners of his daughter’s eyes and asked softly, “Ruyi, what happened?”

    His voice was calm and gentle, but a wave of anger surged in his heart.

    In all these years, this was the first time he had seen his children so wronged.

    If he hadn’t given them the Avatar Talisman and used the Blood-Tracking Talisman, his daughter would have died out here!

    “It was White Tiger Mountain…”

    Lu Ruyi choked up and recounted the events.

    While inspecting the Wujing ore mine, she noticed that the number of miners had increased, but the output hadn’t.

    In addition, two direct descendants of the Zhao Family had been courting her persistently, making her suspicious.

    So she used a Concealment Talisman to sneak into the mine to see what was going on.

    As a result, she was detected by the Zhao Family disciples and suppressed by a formation they had set up in advance.

    “I forgot about the Substitute Life Charm you gave me at that time, and then…”

    Lu Ruyi lowered her head and whispered.

    She knew that if she hadn’t been so impulsive and had reported the situation to the family, or if she had activated the Avatar Talisman immediately, she could have escaped safely.

    “It’s okay, leave it to Father to handle.”

    Lu Changsheng hugged his daughter and comforted her, without blaming her.

    After all, not all children could be exceptionally capable.

    Moreover, the children at home still lacked experience in handling crises.

    But from his daughter’s words, he understood why the Zhao Family had targeted her.

    Greed!

    Even a small Spirit Stone mine could yield tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

    For a Foundation Establishment family like the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones were no small amount.

    Enough to make them take the risk!

    If it weren’t for the Avatar Talisman and the Blood-Tracking Talisman, he would only have suspected White Tiger Mountain at most.

    In the past, at Qingzhu Mountain, if such a situation arose, and there was only suspicion with no evidence, they would have had to swallow their anger and at most demand some compensation.

    “My Bihu Mountain Lu Family is not like other families.”

    Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed as he murmured to himself.

    He looked down at his daughter and said softly, “Let’s go home first.”

    He then took his daughter’s hand, and with spiritual power surging around them, forming a protective barrier, he flew into the sky on the Purple Cloud Shuttle, disappearing into the horizon as a streak of light.

    If an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator were to fly this far with a Qi Refining cultivator, it would consume a lot of spiritual power.

    But with the Xuan Yuan Pearl, his spiritual power rivaled that of a False Core, so he didn’t need to worry about such things.

    A day later, Lu Changsheng returned to Bihu Mountain with his daughter.

    “Father, Sister Ruyi.”

    “Husband, Ruyi.”

    Lu Yun, Lu Miaoyun, and others were suprised to see Lu Changsheng return with Lu Ruyi so quickly.

    “Changsheng, what happened?”

    Li Feiyu hurried over to ask when he heard Lu Changsheng had returned.

    “White Tiger Mountain Zhao Family.”

    Lu Changsheng said calmly.

    “As expected.”

    Li Feiyu snorted coldly and said, “Changsheng, since that’s the case, we should go to the Wujing ore mine to investigate, then head to White Tiger Mountain Zhao Family and demand an explanation.”

    Even though he had given Lu Changsheng ten thousand Spirit Stones for breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he still felt indebted and wanted to help.

    Lu Ruyi, standing nearby, was a little stunned.

    She didn’t know who this somewhat familiar middle-aged man was, yet he was so bold.

    Even before her father spoke, he was ready to go to White Tiger Mountain Zhao Family to demand an explanation.

    But when she thought of her father and Aunt Miaoge’s achievements, she felt reassured.

    After all, the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain only had one Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    Although there were rumors of a Second-Tier tiger demon,

    no matter what, they weren’t a match for her family.

    “Alright, let’s do it.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded in agreement.

    Seeing that Lu Ruyi didn’t recognize Li Feiyu, he smiled and introduced, “Hehe, Ruyi, don’t you remember? This is your Uncle Li. He even held you when you were little.”

    “Uncle Li!”

    Lu Ruyi remembered and was surprised, hurriedly saluting and observing her Uncle Li.

    “Hehe, little Ruyi has grown up.”

    Li Feiyu chuckled.

    “Yun’er, gather all the Lu Family disciples who are at least at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining.”

    Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and said.

    His family was just in need of spiritual land and spiritual veins.

    Since the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain had come knocking, he wouldn’t be polite.

    Moreover, his children lacked experience and hadn’t seen much action; this trip would be a good opportunity for them to gain experience.

    “Yes, Father.”

    Lu Yun immediately responded.

    “Oh, and bring Jiuyou along.”

    Lu Changsheng added.

    After saying that, he asked Li Feiyu to wait for a moment and went to Sumeru Cave Heaven to call Lu Miaoge.

    “Husband, I’ve recovered; it’s fine if Miaoge stays at home.”

    Ling Zixiao understood what Lu Changsheng meant and spoke up.

    As a formation master, she was more suited to attacking family spiritual lands.

    Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy for Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge to break through thh protective formation of White Tiger Mountain.

    “Hehe, Feiyu will be coming too, and we’ll have Jiuyou; that’s more than enough.”

    Lu Changsheng held Ling Zixiao’s hand and said gently, “Zixiao, you’ve just given birth, so take care of yourself at home.”

    “Husband, I remember that the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain is close to the Mo family of Ironwood Mountain and the Ning family of Xishan.”

    “If you plan to take White Tiger Mountain, try not to make things too difficult with those two families.”

    Ling Zixiao didn’t insist and nodded lightly while holding her son, Lu Lingxiao.

    She understood the current situation at Bihu Mountain.

    Including her, Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, Bai Ling, and the umeru Tree King, Lingming Treasure Tree, and Bizarre Prison Demon Flower, they were already at their limit.

    The family indeed needed to establish a branch family.

    But given the current situation, if they established a branch family, it would be hard to manage, and they needed to maintain good relations with the surrounding families.

    “Don’t worry, Zixiao, I understand.”

    Lu Changsheng smiled lightly.

    “But the main problem is the Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge.”

    “Jinlong Ridge is adjacent to White Tiger Mountain, and the Jin Family has a False Core ancestor. The family is currently in a period of growth.”

    “They definitely wouldn’t want to see our family take over White Tiger Mountain, so I’ll need to be cautious.”

    Ling Zixiao gently poked her son’s cheek and continued.

    Although she didn’t pay much attention to internal family matters, she was very familiar with the situation in the Qingyun Region.

    “The Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge.”

    Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

    He was naturally aware of this family.

    The largest family in the Qingyun Region was the Beast Taming Xu Family!

    Besides the Beast Taming Xu Family, there were seven major False Core families!

    However, one of the seven, the Xiahou family of Blackwater Pool, which had colluded with the demonic path, was destroyed by the Azure Cloud Sect, leaving only six False Core families.

    The Jinlong Ridge was one of them!

    He had almost forgotten about the Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge.

    Being neighbors with them would indeed be troublesome.

    Although he wasn’t afraid of the Jin Family, and was even confident that he could crush their ancestor,

    he had a family to protect, with hundreds of vulnerable people.

    Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to display overwhelming power in public, which could attract the attention of high-level cultivators.

    “Alright, I’ll be careful with the Jinlong Ridge.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded and said, “Since that’s settled, Miaoge, let’s go. Zixiao, I’ll leave the house in your hands.”

    After speaking, he noticed Bai Ling, who was helping hold his daughter, looking at him with big, bright eyes. He patted her head and said, “Oh, and little Ling’er, I’ll leave the house in your care as well.”

    “If your sister Ling can’t handle it, the house will depend on you.”

    Lu Changsheng said warmly.

    Although Bai Ling had broken through to Foundation Establishment,

    he didn’t treat her as a Foundation Establishment cultivator but as half a daughter.

    “Mm, mm.”

    Bai Ling nodded vigorously.

    The little hands of Lu Linghe, who was in her arms, reached out, making baby noises.

    Then, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge went to the Lu Famiiy Mansion, taking Li Feiyu and nineteen family members at mid-stage Qi Refining, and flew towards the Black Cloud Mountain Range on two Spirit Boats.

    The number of people was just right for two Spirit Boats.

    Having experienced the spirit ships of the Azure Cloud Sect and Golden Sun Sect, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but wonder when his family would have a large spirit ship.

    Not to mention, in a family battle, bringing a spirit ship would be incredibly intimidating!

    “I wonder if the system can draw such a large spirit ship.”

    Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

    Such spirit ships were strategic resources, not only expensive but also difficult to purchase, with no way to buy them under normal circumstances.

    At this moment, several miles away from Bihu Mountain,

    two disguised Zhao Family cultivators saw two Spirit Boats flying by at high speed and were suddenly startled.

    Although they couldn’t see the details on the Spirit Boats, they could make out a vague outline.

    Judging by the people on board and the direction towards the Black Cloud Mountain Range, they guessed it was likely people from Bihu Mountain.

    They immediately sent a message to notify their family.

    A day later.

    The two Spirit Boats stopped outside the Wujing Ore Field in the Black Cloud Mountain Range.

    “Hmm!?”

    Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Li Feiyu all ssnsed something was wrong at that moment.

    Because they smelled a strong scent of blood.

    “What’s going on!?”

    Lu Changsheng disembarked from the Spirit Boat and walked into the mine, immediately seeing corpses lying around, with bloodstains everywhere, forming pools of blood.

    “These people seem to have been dead for a short time. It looks like the Zhao Family knew we were coming and killed all the miners here in advance.”

    Li Feiyu looked at the corpses and said coldly.

    As he spoke, the two of them entered the mine to check the situation.

    Inside, they occasionally found more corpses.

    There had originally been over a hundred miners in the entire mine.

    But now, they had all been killed, not a single survivor.

    “The Zhao Family is indeed ruthless. This means they not only knew we were coming but also sought outside help.”

    “Otherwise, this kind of cover-up would be pointless.”

    Li Feiyu looked at the situation and said coldly.

    Although the cultivation world ostensibly valued reputation, in reality, it was all about strength!

    White Tiger Mountain only had one Foundation Establishment ancestor. Now that they had offended Bihu Mountain, they were courting death. Acting this way was just a pretext to justify their actions!

    Only with such a pretext would others be willing to help.

    “Could it be the Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge?”

    Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

    Although Bihu Mountain officially had only three Foundation Establishment cultivators,

    their reputation far exceeded their strength. Ordinary Foundation Establishment families would never want to offend them for White Tiger Mountain.

    “It’s very possible.”

    Li Feiyu frowned.

    If this involved a False Core family, it would be troublesome.

    After all, a False Core cultivator, even though not a True Core Formation, was still a real threat, far beyond the reach of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

    “Is this the Spirit Stone mine!?”

    At that moment, Lu Changsheng walked to the end of the mine.

    He saw the Spirit Stone mine, which had already been mined, gleaming with a crystalline luster.

    “Hmm!?”

    Looking at the Spirit Stone mine, Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, feeling that something was off.

    As a top Second-Tier Dragon-Seeking Master, although he hadn’t yet cultivated Source Spirit Perception or Source Spirit Ocular Technique,

    his Dragon-Seeking instinct told him that something was wrong with this Spirit Stone mine.

    How could such a small Spirit Stone mine exist in the depths of the Wujing Ore Field!?

    “Source Spirit Ocular Technique!”

    Lu Changsheng immediately activated the Source Spirit Ocular Technique, and his eyes emitted two beams of purple light as he looked at the Spirit Stone mine.

    “Hmm, what’s wrong, Changsheng?”

    Li Feiyu looked at Lu Changsheng using the ocular technique to examine the Spirit Stone mine and was slightly puzzled.

    “This Spirit Stone mine doesn’t seem right.”

    Lu Changsheng said with a thoughtful expression.

    His Source Spirit Ocular Technique was still in its early stages, and even when activated, it was limited in power. He could only see that there was a very pure and dense spiritual energy hidden within the mine.

    “Oh, right, how could I forget this little guy?”

    Lu Changsheng patted a Spirit Pet Bag, and a large golden rat appeared.

    It was the Second-Tier Spirit-Seeking Rat he had obtained from a rogue cultivator when he and Ling Zixiao left Nine Heavens Immortal City.

    This Spirit-Seeking Rat wasn’t particularly useful to him, so he had been keeping it in the Spirit Pet Bag.

    “Hmm, is that a Treasure-Seeking Mouse!?”

    Li Feiyu was surprised when he saw the golden rat.

    In Qingluan Immortal City, these Treasure-Seeking Mice were highly sought after, with many rogue cultivators wanting to get one.

    After all, whether exploring Cave Dwellings or doing anything else, having a Treasure-Seeking Mouse was incredibly advantageous.

    “Is there a treasure here?”

    Lu Changsheng held the Beast Tamer Token and asked the Spirit-Seeking Rat.

    The Spirit-Seeking Rat had been starving under Lu Changsheng’s care, looking a bit shabby.

    But now, hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, it immediately perked up and pointed towards the front of the Spirit Stone mine, then started digging.
