Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 481 All your wishes come true
A golden light streaked across the desert, carrying with it an undisguised joy.

Feeling a sense of unease, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the desert as he stood in Lanyun City.

"Has Rat Prodigy returned? It seems it has made quite a haul this time."

Sensing the changes in Rat Prodigy, Jiang Chen smiled.

Soon after, a golden light appeared, and Rat Tianjiao's figure appeared in Lanyun City.

“Squeak, squeak…”

Seeing Jiang Chen standing quietly on the mountaintop, Shu Tianjiao was overjoyed.

After a miraculous encounter that transformed him, he had so much to say, and the person he wanted to confide in was undoubtedly Jiang Chen.

Without hesitation, Rat Tianjiao rushed to Jiang Chen's side and immediately recounted his experiences over the past few days, from the dangers of entering the mountain to the abundant harvest, and then to the legend of the Golden Spirit Blood. Rat Tianjiao spoke with great relish.

Seeing this arrogant rat, Jiang Chen said nothing, only listened silently with a smile on his face.

Rat Prodigy's bloodline is not bad, but it's only not bad. Compared to Tao Yao, who has condensed a flawless Dao foundation, there is a qualitative difference. If Tao Yao has a bright future, then under normal circumstances, Rat Prodigy would be lucky to break through to the Purple Mansion realm, and it would be difficult for him to achieve anything greater.

Under such circumstances, as time goes by, the gap between Rat Tianjiao and him will widen, and he will eventually lose all sense of existence. This is cruel, but almost inevitable. The road to immortality is often lonely. Now that Rat Tianjiao has had a wonderful encounter, he is happy for him.

It must be said that, judging from the information revealed in Rat Tianjiao's words, its gains this time were indeed extraordinary.

"Not only did he cultivate the Acquired Treasure Body, but he also transformed into a superior-grade Dao Foundation. Such a change is no less than a complete transformation. Compared to before, his cultivation level improved from the initial stage of the Dao Foundation to the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation, which seems more like a side effect."

With keen insight, Jiang Chen noticed some changes in Rat Prodigy. The Golden Spirit Blood truly lived up to its legendary reputation; the changes it brought to Rat Prodigy began from the very core of his being. And this was only the beginning; the Golden Spirit Blood's transformation of Rat Prodigy was not yet complete.

According to Rat Tianjiao's description, the Golden Spirit Blood seems to have evolved into a divine power, which should be related to the Golden Spirit inheritance. Once it fully integrates with the Golden Spirit Blood, it should be able to truly cultivate this divine power. In that case, together with the inherited divine power of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan, after achieving the Purple Mansion realm, it should be able to quickly cultivate two precious divine powers.

Such an advantage is unmatched by other cultivators, after all, the cultivation of any supernatural power is not simple.

"squeak···"

After saying all that in one breath, it held its tail high and suddenly looked up, meeting Jiang Chen's smiling gaze. The proud rat immediately felt a little embarrassed, as it seemed to have been a bit too proud just now.

However, it quickly came up with a solution after a moment's thought.

With a whoosh, a sharp aura was revealed. It opened its mouth and spat out a piece of precious gold. A pair of paws picked it up and presented it to Jiang Chen.

Lowering his gaze, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the precious gold treasure that Rat Tianjiao held in his palm.

This precious gold piece was not large, only the size of a pigeon egg, but it radiated an extremely dazzling brilliance. The moment it appeared, it illuminated the surrounding area. Its light resembled the bright moon and the sun, possessing a silent sharpness.

The moment he looked directly at it, Jiang Chen felt a stinging pain in his own mind.

"Is this the Great Evolution True Gold?" With his divine soul power surging, suppressing the slight anomaly, Jiang Chen guessed the origin of this precious gold.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Rat Tianjiao nodded repeatedly.

Golden Spirit Mountain did indeed give birth to Great Evolution True Gold, but the last Great Evolution True Gold had already been collected by the Rat King and used as resources for later generations. In fact, in addition to Great Evolution True Gold, at the last moment, the Rat King also collected a lot of precious mines, including thirteen kinds of third-order precious mines, but the quantity was not large and the overall value was not very high.

The Lei Peng clan keeps a close eye on Jinling Mountain. Except during times of chaos, they have to hand over all the precious mines during normal times, so they don't keep much for themselves.

"It really came without any effort at all."

Having received Rat Tianjiao's affirmation, Jiang Chen picked up the Great Evolution True Gold and examined it carefully. He felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity. Since arriving in the Western Regions, his luck seemed to have improved, and he felt that his wishes were coming true. Both the third-tier spiritual veins and the Great Evolution True Gold that he needed appeared before him one after another.

He had originally intended to scheme against the Great Evolution True Gold in Xin Yi's possession, but now it seemed unnecessary. The amount of Great Evolution True Gold seemed small, but it was enough for him. After all, a flying sword couldn't be entirely forged from Great Evolution True Gold; it was more of a catalyst.

Most importantly, judging from the information revealed by Rat Tianjiao, there is a good chance that Xinyi really did not obtain the Great Evolution True Gold, but was tricked and got into trouble.

Sensing Jiang Chen's joy, Rat Tianjiao smiled even more happily, knowing that the Great Evolution True Gold would definitely have an effect on Jiang Chen.

Besides the complete content of the Metal Fusion and Refinement Technique, the most important legacy left by the Rat King consists of two books: the "Hundred Refinements of Treasure Weapons Record" and the "Treasure Ore Book." Both of these legacies are ranked in the third tier. Among them, the "Hundred Refinements of Treasure Weapons Record" is a legacy of weapon crafting, which mainly focuses on weapon crafting.

Although it is not the most exquisite among the third-tier weapon-refining inheritances, it was born from the fundamental inheritance of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan, which is extremely suitable for Gold-Gnawing Rats. Most importantly, it records the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan's formula for fusing various precious ores to create even more mysterious metals. This is the foundation accumulated by the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan over generations.

This is also a characteristic of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan's weapon-making techniques. Their methods are rather crude, and their restrictions are not particularly profound. They mainly rely on materials to succeed. The Gold-Melting Furnace, a treasure passed down through generations, represents the highest achievement of the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan's weapon-making skills.

Although the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan has reached the Purple Mansion level, their cultivation level is actually not very high. They have never reached the late stage of the Purple Mansion. The reason they can refine the Gold-Melting Furnace into a high-grade one is because of the mystery of the materials.

As for the Book of Treasures, it is considered a branch of the geomancer's lineage. It mainly records various methods of finding and identifying minerals, as well as the characteristics of various strange minerals in the world. Of course, its value also lies in the fact that it records some mineral vein locations discovered by the Gold-Gnawing Rat clan.

These veins, either because they had owners or because their locations were too dangerous, were not mined by the Gold-Gnawing Rat Clan, but were instead recorded as part of their heritage.

Having received these inheritances, Rat Prodigy's understanding of weapon crafting and precious ores immediately improved by more than one level. In its view, Great Evolution True Gold was definitely the best choice for Jiang Chen to refine the Divine Soul Flying Sword.

"You really gave me a surprise this time."

Suppressing his joy, Jiang Chen closed his palms, and the brilliance of the Great Evolution True Gold vanished. He reached out and patted Rat Tianjiao's head.

Upon receiving Jiang Chen's praise, Rat Tianjiao's tail immediately started wagging again.

“That underground cave is protected by a third-order array. If the original Rat Prodigy had cooperated with me, the chances of success would have been at most 30%, but now it is much greater.”

As his thoughts raced, Jiang Chen's mind drifted away.
