Chapter 480 Golden Spirit Blood
Within the small world inside the mountain, the dazzling golden light gradually faded, and Rat Tianjiao slowly opened his eyes.

"Our ancestors truly went to great lengths to ensure the continuation of the clan."

As memories of the past surged forth, Rat Tianjiao couldn't help but sigh as he thought of the Rat King's past.

Although the bloodline of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan cannot compare to that of the True Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, it is still quite remarkable. They are skilled in mining, alchemy, and breaking taboos. However, it is precisely because of this remarkable talent that the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan has attracted much covetousness. In the end, most of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan's talents are geared towards support, and they do not have enough combat power to protect their talents.

Under such circumstances, in order to continue their racial lineage, they had no choice but to attach themselves to the truly powerful. It was precisely because of this that the Rat King, although a Purple Mansion Demon King, could only obediently serve the Thunder Roc clan and mine for hundreds of years.

"Our ancestor is dead, and the clan is dwindling. I will continue the legacy of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan."

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Rat Tianjiao raised his head.

At this moment, the Rat King's precious body had turned to ashes, with only a palm-sized treasure furnace floating quietly. It was entirely gilded, with golden spiritual fire burning inside, radiating a blazing heat.

The Gold-Melting Furnace, a treasured artifact passed down through generations of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan, contains the profound mystery of gold fusion and refining. It has now developed thirty protective seals and reached the superior grade. This is the result of generations of accumulation by the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan. Relying on the profound mystery of gold fusion and refining, they have smelted countless precious ores, allowing this artifact to be successfully passed down for several generations.

"From this day forward, I shall be the new king of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan."

With its claws outstretched, Rat Pride grabbed the Gold-Melting Furnace in its hand.

With a soft hum, a faint light emanated from the treasure. The moment it fell into the hands of the Rat Prodigy, the aura of the Gold-Melting Furnace naturally resonated with it. This treasure was the inherited treasure of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan. The ultimate goal of refining it was not cultivation, but bloodline.

Without a doubt, as the inheritor of the royal bloodline, Rat Prodigy is qualified.

As the treasure furnace recognized its master, Rat Tianjiao's aura changed again, gaining a heavy royal aura, and his originally ordinary face became majestic.

At the same time, a message hidden deep within the treasure furnace quietly entered Rat Pride's mind. This message was kept very deep, and if someone forcibly reclaimed the treasure furnace, the message would be immediately annihilated. It not only contained the complete inheritance of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan, but also hid a secret.

Upon learning this secret, Rat Tianjiao couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on his face.

The Rat King left behind his power, using his own precious body and supernatural abilities to help it cultivate the Ruyi Precious Body. In its eyes, this was already extraordinary. It never expected that the Rat King would leave behind something else.

"Golden Spirit Blood... this thing actually exists..."

Having discovered the secret, Rat Tianjiao looked at the treasure furnace in his hand with disbelief on his face.

It also knew about the origin of Jinling Mountain. It was said to be the place where Jinling fell, but this was just a legend. Not only it, but the cultivation world basically did not believe it to be true, because the real Jinling was a legendary creature, a favorite of heaven and earth, even rarer than a true dragon or a heavenly phoenix.

According to legend, in the ancient world of cultivation, once such beings are born, they can basically ascend to become immortals, which is quite remarkable.

"The Golden Spirit truly exists. Although Golden Spirit Mountain is not the place where the Golden Spirit perished, its blood has indeed been spilled here. This kind of being is extraordinary from birth; even a drop of ordinary blood can alter the climate of a place. This is how Golden Spirit Mountain came to be." "Although many people believe that the legend of Golden Spirit Mountain is just a myth, the ancestor of my Golden-Gnawing Rat clan discovered something amiss by chance through his bloodline and supernatural abilities, confirming the existence of the Golden Spirit's power."

"In order to gain power and rewrite the fate of himself and even his clan, the ancestor had the idea of ​​the Golden Spirit Blood. The Golden Spirit is the manifestation of the Great Dao of Gold, and is born with the Dao essence, which is very compatible with the bloodline of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan."

"If it can successfully fuse with this Golden Spirit Blood, the Ancestor can completely raise its potential to another level. At that time, it may not be without a chance to achieve the Celestial Phenomenon. However, it is too long ago, and this Golden Spirit Blood has already been completely integrated into Golden Spirit Mountain."

"Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to extract the Golden Spirit Blood again, not to mention to hide it from the eyes of others, which is almost impossible. However, the great battle five hundred years ago gave the ancestor an opportunity."

Having digested all the information and learned about the past, Rat Pride, holding the treasure furnace, felt an unprecedented heaviness.

Five hundred years ago, the Wuchang Sect fought a great war with the demon race, which shook the entire Yu Huan Continent and shattered Jinling Mountain. During this process, the Rat King saw the possibility of refining the blood of the Golden Spirit. It was for this reason that, at the last moment, it left behind a method to use itself as a furnace to melt the entire Jinling Mountain.

Although its life force was exhausted and its future was lost, it would still be good if it could take this opportunity to extract the blood of the Golden Spirit and leave a hope for its race. In the end, it did succeed, and the withered mineral veins on Golden Spirit Mountain are the best proof of that.

It was precisely because the blood of the Golden Spirit was reversed that the original mines all became waste mines, since their wonders were all born from the blood of the Golden Spirit.

"The Golden Spirit Blood is contained within this Golden Furnace. Without proper guidance, anyone who forcibly refines the furnace will cause the Golden Spirit Blood to go berserk. Although the power of this drop of Golden Spirit Blood has been greatly reduced due to the erosion of time, its essence remains. Once it goes berserk, even a Purple Mansion might perish if caught off guard."

With a solemn expression, Rat Pride activated his secret technique.

The next instant, the Gold-Melting Furnace transformed into a stream of light and crashed into its body. At that moment, a warm and gentle power flowed from the furnace, slowly cleansing its body and improving its constitution from the inside out.

"My physical constitution is improving, although the speed is not very fast, but this change is real. If this continues, it may not be long before my Dao foundation can be transformed from the middle grade to the upper grade."

Through his own transformation, Rat Prodigy gained a relatively clear understanding of the power of the Golden Spirit Blood.

For safety, the Rat King contained the Golden Spirit Blood in the Gold-Melting Furnace and used his own body to nurture it. This way, he could dissolve the Golden Spirit Blood's sharpness to the greatest extent and strengthen his connection with it.

In this way, having inherited the power of the Rat King and cultivated the Ruyi Treasure Body, Rat Prodigy naturally had a connection with this Golden Spirit Blood, making it much easier to refine it step by step.

Given the nature of the Golden Spirit Blood, if Rat Prodigy were to directly attempt to forge it, the chances of failure would be very high.

"Our ancestor had good intentions."

With a sigh and a shake of its head, Rat Prodigy wholeheartedly began to refine the Golden Spirit Blood. The clan's ancestor had already paved the way, and it naturally could not let the other party down.
