God of Pets

Chapter 488 Treasure Hunt
Chapter 488

To sense the existence of one's natal star during the third awakening, besides meeting the required level, one must also have a high level of cultivation and comprehension of the secret techniques.

It's not that as long as you practice enough, you'll definitely be able to sense your natal star.

Rather, it is only by comprehending certain profound mysteries of the secret technique and gaining a clear understanding of both the technique and oneself that one can sense one's natal star.

Some people call this state "enlightenment." Only when one is enlightened and can face oneself can one sense the existence of one's natal star.

There are actually shortcuts to enlightenment. Many rare and precious herbs, in addition to replenishing and enhancing vital energy, also have the function of opening the mind and clearing the spirit. This function is very helpful for enlightenment.

He Shou Wu is one of the most famous varieties. Ancient legends say that some people who ate He Shou Wu that had been around for ten thousand years were able to gain supernatural powers like immortals, as if they had become immortals.

Actually, it's not that one truly becomes an immortal, but rather that the ten-thousand-year-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) has an extremely strong effect of opening the mind and clearing the spirit, which can make the brain clear and make one's perception of oneself and the outside world very sharp, thereby greatly increasing the possibility of enlightenment, or even directly achieving enlightenment.

In this day and age, it is very common to use enlightenment pills made from various rare and precious materials for enlightenment.

Among them, the long-lived He Shou Wu is a very commonly used main ingredient in the Enlightenment Pill, and there are many other natural treasures with similar effects.

If all the rare and precious materials here are genuine, then the group has no need to worry about their level.

Cultivators below level 30 can use these rare and precious materials to quickly level up.

A level 30 cultivator can use rare and precious materials to quickly achieve enlightenment and enter the fourth awakening stage.

In short, as long as these rare and precious materials are genuine, then no problem is insurmountable.

The question is, do these rare and precious natural treasures actually exist?
So far, no one has dared to make any rash moves, clearly indicating that they still harbor concerns.

At this point, no one was thinking about killing to steal the treasure, because there was no need to steal it, at least not now.

If the rare and precious materials here are real, these people could eat them all, even if they ate one and threw away ten, they still couldn't finish them all, so why bother fighting over them?

Everyone stared longingly at the boundless treasures below, but no one dared to be the first to try it.

"Lieutenant, send the vanguard to check it out," Qin Qiu ordered his adjutant beside him.

The adjutant accepted the order and left. Soon, a soldier summoned a pet resembling an eagle. The eagle flew directly down from the giant tree's nest and headed towards the incredibly large vermilion fruit.

All eyes were on the eagle. After it took several descents and flew without being attacked, the soldier ordered it to rush toward the Vermilion Fruit.

The eagle's talons seized a vermilion fruit, ripped it off, and soared into the air. After circling a few times, it returned to the soldier, released the fruit, and tossed it into the soldier's hand, while the eagle itself landed on the soldier's shoulder.

The soldier touched it, then took the vermilion fruit and presented it to Qin Qiu.

Everything went smoothly, and no danger occurred.

The guards, who had been on watch, did not detect any other creatures appearing.

"Is there anyone willing to eat this Vermilion Fruit?" Qin Qiu asked, pinching the Vermilion Fruit between his fingers and scanning the crowd.

The Vermilion Fruit has been safely obtained, but it's still uncertain whether it's truly a Vermilion Fruit. If it's not, and eating it won't have any effect, then there's no need to go and pick it.

But who would be willing to be the guinea pig? Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Since no one is willing to try, we'll just have to let it have its way." Qin Qiu summoned a Scottish Fold pet and threw the Vermilion Fruit at it.

Scottish Fold dogs are a type of guard dog, so it's somewhat surprising that Qin Qiu has one. Given his background, he shouldn't need to raise a guard dog, a type of spirit with low growth rate and weak combat power.

But looking at Qin Qiu's guard dog, it's clear that its level has been upgraded, unlike an ordinary level 1 dog.

The Scottish Fold dog bit the red fruit, smacked its lips a few times, and then swallowed it.

Everyone was watching its reaction, their feelings were mixed, unsure whether they should hope for something to go wrong or for nothing to go wrong.

If something goes wrong, that's naturally bad, but if there's no reaction at all, it means this isn't a Vermilion Fruit at all, and it's useless.

As he was pondering this, he saw white mist emanating from the Scottish Fold dog. This was not ordinary white mist, but rather overflowing vital energy.

"It's working!" Everyone was overjoyed.

Just as they were feeling overjoyed, they suddenly saw the Scottish Fold's head explode like a watermelon without any warning.

Blood was splattered everywhere, and everyone's eyes turned to horror.

Those who were originally eager to pick the fruit now felt a chill in their hearts.

"You've all seen the result; now it's up to you to decide how to proceed." Qin Qiu's meaning was clear.

As the owner of the giant tree's nest, he had done all he could. Whether or not to pick those rare and precious materials was up to each person. He had no right to interfere, nor any obligation to continue the experiment.

"I think the guard dog is too low-level and too weak to withstand the energy inside the Vermilion Fruit. My high-level pet should be fine." Someone couldn't resist any longer and summoned their pet to go down and dig for rare treasures.

As soon as he made that move, many people followed suit and started fighting.

Anyway, it has been proven that there is no problem with just digging up rare and precious materials, and they will not go down themselves. They will dig first and then figure it out later.

Chu Yutian had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He gritted his teeth, summoned his pet to dig for rare and precious herbs, and chose He Shou Wu as his target.

Although most natural and rare herbs can replenish vital energy, their specific functions vary.

Of all the rare and precious herbs available, the one Chu Yutian needed most was He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum).

He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) can replenish Qi in large quantities, which is perfect for his "Kunpeng Jue" (a martial arts manual). It also has the ability to open the mind and clear the spirit, and can be used to achieve enlightenment, making it easier to awaken to the fourth time.

Many people chose to dig for He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), but everyone was worried that if this place really was a hidden paradise, then advancing to the fourth level of enlightenment would be the most important thing.

Therefore, Polygonum multiflorum is the best choice, which is the choice of most people, and can be considered a consensus.

Fortunately, there was plenty of Polygonum multiflorum here, so there was no need to fight for it. After the pets went down, they all dug up Polygonum multiflorum in different places.

"Should we go dig?" Teng Mingli asked Chen Guan.

Although she was also amazed by the rare and precious materials before her, she still asked Chen Guan for advice first.

"No rush, there's plenty more, let's take another look." Chen Guan wasn't in a hurry.

It's still uncertain how the guard dog died, and Chen Guan is unwilling to take that risk.
