My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 630 Still want to eat? We're here to take you all!

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Yang Genshuo's attention was immediately drawn to it, and he opened the item description right away.

The card containing this treasure has already been recorded by his game system.

You can check the items at any time in the "Treasures" section.

[Blood Marrow Devious Pill]

[Rank: Earth-level Rare Treasure]

[After consumption, a Blood Pill will grow in the dantian. The Blood Pill can be nourished by consuming fresh blood and flesh. After the host advances to the Golden Core stage, the Blood Pill will be fully mature, and a unique blood technique can be obtained.]

[A wondrous object born in a land of sinister and bloody legends; consuming it may not only increase one's cultivation level but also cause some strange changes.]

Earth-level rare treasure!

This is a treasure comparable to the [Seed of Life]!

The treasure that could allow mortals to embark on the path of cultivation was easily obtained by Yang Zhushuang.

Yang Genshuo wasn't jealous of him, but he felt that Yang Zhushuang was just too lucky.

"How could he know there was treasure over there? Was it just a feeling? Is he copying Yang Qiangyou?"

"That's not right either. His luck is only 20 points, which is just average."

They not only found treasures, but also a batch of food.

The rats that were killed by the Night Demon Puppet were all plump and looked fresh and juicy.

Of course, if the group didn't intend to eat the rice that the rats took out of their holes, it would be enough for them to eat.

"No wonder the granary was empty. It turns out the grain had been hidden by rats."

Those holes that covered the entire wall of the granary must have contained countless grains.

The group took it out and smelled it; there was no strange smell, so they all thought it was edible.

Yang Genshuo stopped hiding his identity and quickly "manifested his power".

"Yang Zhushuang, I have some information to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhushuang jumped, looked around, and then tentatively said:

"Ancestor, are you looking at me?"

"Yes, I've been watching you all along."

"Uh, Ancestor, we...we're fine. You should care about others. Yes, we're fine."

Seemingly unsure how to communicate, Yang Zhushuang spoke somewhat haltingly.

Yang Genshuo pursed his lips.

When Yang Zhushuang bullies ordinary people, he speaks very fluently.

At this moment, upon seeing a powerful figure, he became timid and hesitant, losing all his composure, which greatly disappointed him.

However, the matter was of great importance at the moment, and Yang Genshuo did not have time to restrain him. He simply copied down the information that needed to be said and placed it in front of Yang Zhushuang.

"This is the information that others have gathered so far. Tell the two puzzle solvers around you to let them know. If you have anything else you want to tell me, call out to me in your mind. I will hear you and respond."

"Oh"

Yang Zhushuang seemed a little confused at this point, but he still repeated the information that Yang Genshuo had shared to the two puzzle solvers.

The two puzzle solvers were overjoyed!
"If our ancestor could see this, our chances of passing the next level would be much greater!"

"It turns out that the 'rat servants' were actually rats, and the yamen runners have been controlled by the rats."

"Wait a minute! If that's the case..."

"not good!"

The two puzzle solvers looked at the pile of dead rats in the Night Demon's hands, then turned to see 20 rat servants slowly approaching them from various parts of the post station.
The two puzzle solvers were immediately terrified!
"If the true form of the 'Rat Servant' is a rat, then aren't we killing their offspring?"

"Demon slave, prepare for battle!"

Night Demon and another petite deer demon stood in front of the group, while the four members of the Heavenly Dragon Army provided cover from behind, ready to draw their swords at any moment.

The rat servants walked over and stared at the dead rat in the Night Demon's hand:

"Looks like tonight..."

The rat servant paused, a strange smile appearing on his lips, which made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

Just when they were under so much pressure that they couldn't help but want to launch a preemptive attack.
"We need to have an extra meal tonight. You guys, roast these rats for us!"

The leader of the rat servants said this, then chuckled and patted Yang Zhushuang on the shoulder before leaving.

The rat servants scattered, and Yang Zhushuang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Genshuo was also somewhat surprised.

"Were there no plot points that triggered conflict?"

"Do rat servants eat rats?"

"Is it because they're not the same species? Or are these mice simply not intelligent enough?"

"You shouldn't eat that. It's so strange."

Yang Zhushuang and the others were not in any immediate danger, so they quickly cooked some spirit rice and everyone ate until they were full of carbohydrates.

The rats were roasted and given to the rat servants, but no other plot developments were triggered; everything seemed perfectly normal.
Yang Genshuo, on the contrary, began to have doubts.

"What does this mean? Is the real solution just like what Yang Zhushuang and the others did, eating the grain that the rats hid in the granary?"

"Is the path he took the most correct one?"

The rats in the granary are quite ordinary, at least unlike those large and cruel man-eating rats. They're so ordinary that they don't even have a single character card.

"Wait! If that's the case, does that mean other teams can also find treasure in the granary?"

Yang Genshuo immediately informed the other teams of the news and urged them to search for the treasure in the granary.

Unfortunately, while the other teams found food and rats at the granary, none of them found the [Blood Marrow Ghost Pill].
"Is it only available on Yang Zhushuang's side? Or is it because some rule wasn't followed correctly?"

Yang Genshuo is currently unaware of what went wrong.

As time passed, many groups, knowing that food could be found hidden in the walls of the granary, also solved their dinner problems.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the sky darkened. They were going to spend the night.

This was the most thrilling night they were about to experience.

It is known that the rodents will launch a "gnawing" attack after they fall asleep.

"Therefore, it's best not to rest tonight."

Yang Genshuo thought so, but many of the Yang family descendants had different opinions.

"Our bodies are starting to tire. If we don't rest, we'll probably be in bad shape tomorrow. Maybe we can take turns resting. That way, the rats will probably not attack if they see that some of us haven't rested."

"I agree with Miss Yang Zhu's opinion."

Yang Zhu's idea was approved by the sixth puzzle solver, which was in line with his conservative identity.

Some puzzle solvers believe that the post station was inherently unsafe, and their threat came not only from the 20 rat servants who would attack after they slept, but also from the large number of 'man-eating rats' in the room in the backyard.
"They feed on flesh and blood, so they're definitely interested in us. If we're surrounded by them, we'll be in great danger. A wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall, so we'll have to find somewhere else to sleep tonight."

The puzzle solver #18 firmly believed they needed to find a different place to sleep soundly.

"I'm going to find a safe place outside. Wait for me to come back." After nightfall, he took his puppet out to find another place to live.

Half a day passed.
The puzzle solver, number 18, hasn't returned either.

The team here realized something might have gone wrong.

One of Yang's descendants hurriedly reported to his ancestor, Yang Genshuo, who looked outside at the hazy fog and couldn't see anything, and could only sigh.

"Let's wait a bit. Perhaps something unexpected has happened. Let's not go out for now."

Yang Genshuo shared the news with others, and everyone felt heavy-hearted.

"At night, the pitch-black wilderness is perhaps more terrifying than the rats that inhabit the post station."

"This is a world full of unknowns, and every choice and action we take may have irreversible consequences."

"Staying at the inn late at night and not going out is perhaps one of the principles of this story."

The puzzle solvers summarized their experiences, and most of them did not choose to go out.

Although staying at the post station with a group of man-eating rats and their servants was dangerous, at least it was something they could foresee. Everything outside, however, had to be recalculated.

However, among all those who entered this time, there was another group who were not at the post station at all.

Yang Minke, Yang Minxiao, and eight Tianlong Army soldiers.

Their group was the most straightforward, consisting of two officers and eight soldiers, who were already quite familiar with each other.

The style of the Heavenly Dragon Army is still maintained here.

Yang Minke gave the order, and the others were responsible for carrying it out.

Yang Genshuo was originally very concerned about this team, to prevent them from falling into many pitfalls. Without the help of a puzzle solver, they might not be able to use their wisdom to solve this story.

But Yang Minke was completely different from those puzzle solvers; his thinking took a strange turn.

A road that even Yang Genshuo doesn't know if is right or wrong.

They are growing food.

While others were trying to reach the capital, Yang Minke went in the opposite direction, found some grain seeds in the surrounding villages, and then led his people to plant grain in the fields where they were located.

"Since we can use both spiritual power and magic, our skills might be able to play a better role."

"Since we're tasked with escorting grain to the capital, why don't we grow some grain ourselves in this world?"

"Instead of searching for and gathering dangerous food along the way, we can avoid more dangers by being prepared before we set off."

"This ordinary grain, with the cultivation techniques of us immortal cultivators, can be matured in a few weeks and complete a year's worth of growth. We still have three months, and we can use the rest of the time to travel without stopping anywhere! Who knows, we might even be able to go faster."

While the codebreakers were using methods to solve the problem, Yang Minke simply stopped trying to solve it altogether and just went ahead and recklessly made his way to the capital.

What kind of post station rat servants?
never heard of that!

Since there are countless dangers ahead, I will not go.

Yang Genshuo was shocked when he first learned of Yang Minke's idea.

"You can do it like that?"

You've been deeply ingrained with the traditional planting genes of the Great Nai Empire, haven't you?
Even Li Minsi, the head of the Spirit Plant Department, isn't as good at growing plants as you.

Moreover, Yang Minke not only engaged in planting but also started building.

"Instead of believing in houses in this world, let's build one now. Our Heavenly Dragon Army requires everyone to have 10,000 [Standard Building Blocks] in their storage rings. Let's pool our resources (10 of us) and build a temporary fortress right here. Then I'll use the Mountain-Moving Technique to seal this place and protect our planting base."

"With such a defense, we will be able to handle trouble with ease."

Civil engineering guy, that's terrifying!
When you arrive at a legendary place, the first thing you do is build a house.

Yang Minke, with his earth and wood spiritual roots, has truly developed his strengths to the extreme.

So that night, while others tossed and turned on the hard, dry beds at the inn, Yang Minke and his companions were already living in a comfortable self-built house.

Even when some strange-looking wild beasts came to attack them at night, they were easily stopped by the heavily fortified fortress, which provided them with an extra meal.

"That's quite an enjoyment."

For a moment, Yang Genshuo even wondered if this was the standard storyline.
Should we grow our own food first, and then leave?
Those who had already arrived at the inn dared not wander around at night, taking the missing mystery solver, Number 18, as their role model.
Time passed little by little.

midnight.

Each squad heard rustling sounds; something was circling around their houses.

"Hiss~ It's here."

The rat servants, now lying on the ground like giant rats, were sneaking around outside, peeking to see if the people were asleep.

This put the people inside on the edge of their seats.

After circling around a few times, the rats found that the people inside were still awake, and left disappointed.

The rats came several times that night, but each time someone was on guard and they didn't have a chance, so the rats ultimately didn't launch an attack.

Yang Genshuo foresaw that the rats would launch their attack while everyone was sleeping, thus saving the group from a calamity.

The next morning, as soon as it was light, most of the troops chose to leave the post station and continue their march.

"Hmm? Are we leaving? But there are so many suspicious things about this inn, it seems like there's a story behind it. Wouldn't it be too confusing to leave before we figure it out?"

Yang Zhu didn't quite understand the conservative number 6.

She actually wanted some kind of opportunity.

"That's what we'll do next time we come. This time, my mission is to protect you and help you get to the end of the story safely, and get you out of here safely. That's my only goal."

"But."

"Miss Yang Zhu, your status is of utmost importance and cannot be compromised. Please understand."

Number Six tried to dissuade them again, and the other younger siblings also didn't want to go. After all, it was very dangerous for them, especially the feeling of being surrounded and spied on by the rats late last night. No one wanted to go again.

In the end, Yang Zhu could only nod helplessly.

"let's go."

They continued their journey towards the capital.

Meanwhile, in another place, a completely different conversation was taking place.

"We need to find out the story of the post station before we leave."

Yang Qiangjin is highly skilled and daring, and is completely unafraid of the rats.

Having reached her level, she has already comprehended some of the mysteries of the Nascent Soul stage and spatial magic. Her abilities extend far beyond combat; she possesses many other skills as well.

She is qualified to explore this place.

"As you wish, through the information I gathered this night, I have roughly understood the complete story of this post station and it's time to verify it."

Number Nine, who loves adventure, and Yang Qiangjin hit it off immediately.

Her daughter, Li Minsi, and the others had already reached outside the post station, at least ensuring their own safety.

Snapped!
The door to the post station was kicked open by Number Nine!

The rat servants, who were eating breakfast, looked at the two returning in surprise, holding their bowls.

"Still eating?! We're here to take you away!"
