In the following days, after Lin Jing learned the Divine Technique, he stopped cultivating and kept reading various books to learn about the Cultivation Realm.
The main reason was that his cultivation efficiency was too low.
Rather than cultivating himself, he was waiting for the spiritual feedback after the pine mouse broke through, which would lead to his cultivation improvement!
This is the normal way for a Beast Taming Sect disciple to grow stronger.
At present, although the pine mouse was not normally absorbing Spiritual Qi, its frequent use of Spiritual Power to hasten the spirit rice maturation process was also a form of cultivation.
After a few days, the spirit rice had grown tall and was not far from maturation.
It had to be said, the talent of his own pine mouse was indeed exceptional.
Lin Jing learned from miscellaneous books that an ordinary pine mouse at the third level of Qi Cultivation would take about half a month to mature a stalk of spirit rice without external aid.
However, his own pine mouse took less than half the time to nearly complete the task.
Although he occasionally used a small amount of True Qi to relieve the mental fatigue of the pine mouse with the "Divine Technique", his help was minimal, as he was merely at the first level of Qi Cultivation.
Thanks to the pure Spiritual Power cultivated by the pine mouse itself, and its patience, never slacking.
"You are simply the innate sacred body for farming." Lin Jing closed the book and was not stingy with his praise for the pine mouse that was hastening the spirit rice maturation.
"Squeak!"
Although the pine mouse did not know what the innate sacred body was, it was probably a compliment.
It worked even harder.
With its emerald-green eyes, it looked expectantly at a stalk of spirit rice before it.
Buzz!
Soon, the spirit rice finally turned from milky white to a platinum color, emitting a rich fragrance, a sign of its maturation!
"Has it matured?"
As the spirit rice matured, Lin Jing immediately came to the pine mouse's side to peel the husk with it, revealing the crystal-clear and plump white spirit rice inside that looked extremely enticing!
"Judging from the quality, it is not much different from the bag we were issued."
Lin Jing finally relaxed.
It was stable!
"Squeak squeak squeak!" The pine mouse nodded happily.
As expected of it.
Next, Lin Jing and it immediately separated the remaining husks, and finally, thousands of grains of spirit rice appeared on the ground, shining brightly.
Gazing at the ground full of spirit rice, Lin Jing and the pine mouse were in an exceptionally good mood. Although they wouldn't last long, it was a good start.
The pine mouse looked at the pile of spirit rice.
Then looked at Lin Jing.
Its intention was unspoken.
"Hoarding food is a good habit."
"But we still need to eat these."
"How about this, you take 100 grains."
As if seeing through the pine mouse's thoughts, Lin Jing said with a smile.
These were after all the results of the pine mouse's hard work, and taking out 100 grains was no big deal; it also satisfied the pine mouse's hoarding habit.
Missing 100 grains wouldn't starve them.
Who knew, if they ever ended up broke and starving, the pine mouse's 100 grains could still fill a gap.
Let it hoard!
"Squeak..." With Lin Jing's words, the pine mouse was overjoyed, immediately ran over, took out 100 grains, and set them aside.
100 grains of spirit rice, although not much.
But looking at the hundred grains of spirit rice belonging to itself, the pine mouse felt comfortable all over, as if its pores were opening, and Spiritual Power surged in its body.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The pine mouse's emerald-green eyes, gazing at the hundred grains of spirit rice, suddenly emitted a light, making its eyes as dazzling as emeralds.
Next, in the startled eyes of the pine mouse and the surprised gaze of Lin Jing, two beams of emerald light shot out from the pine mouse's eyes.
The light fell upon the hundred grains of spirit rice.
And then, an astonishing scene unfolded. Under the wrap of green light, the hundred grains of spirit rice vanished in an instant.
As the green light faded, in place of it, lay a brand new golden spirit rice on the ground...
......
At the same time.
In the mind of the pine mouse.
Appeared an unknown piece of inheritance information.
As if a divine technique hidden in its bloodline.
It comprehended it instinctively.
"Glazed Immortal Pupil"
Even a pile of worthless stones, if reflected in the Glazed Immortal Pupil, would be sublimated into precious glazed gemstones.
The Glazed Immortal Pupil can combine a certain quantity of the same resources into another precious resource.
Like the Immortal Technique, turning stone into gold.
......
"Squeak?"
A hundred grains of sparkling white spirit rice turned into one mysterious golden grain in the sight of the pine mouse and Lin Jing.
This unexpected change shocked both Lin Jing and the pine mouse.
"I knew there was something special about the change on the day of the contract."
"Indeed, you've mutated from an ordinary spirit beast into a Treasure Beast."
"The Treasure Beast Divine Technique is precisely this!"
Transforming decay into a miracle, like turning stone into gold, a means of quantitative changes triggering qualitative transformations!
This golden spirit rice, at first glance, is more precious than white spirit rice!
Lin Jing couldn't help but speak.
Yet in the next moment, he couldn't hold back.
He saw the pine mouse kneel directly on the ground, pick up the golden spirit rice, and tears poured out.
"Squeak!!!"
It didn't want one golden spirit rice; it wanted 100 white spirit rice grains!!!
Lin Jing's mouth twitched.
This squirrel seems to be hopelessly sick.
This golden spirit rice clearly looked more precious, didn't it?
Are you just so attached to your 100 white spirit rice grains?
"Alright."
"I'll give you another 200 white spirit rice grains, in exchange..."
Lin Jing was just about to suggest that they exchange 200 regular spirit rice grains for the golden spirit rice to study it.
To his surprise, the unbelievably sad pine mouse angrily looked at the golden spirit rice.
Then bit it to pieces, eating it!
As if seeking revenge on it.
"Oh my, you just ate it like that." Lin Jing was once again shocked.
They still didn't know its effect.
"The golden spirit rice formed from 100 regular grains should logically have an effect more than a hundred times that of regular spirit rice, right?"
"Otherwise, this divine technique would be meaningless, and the so-called Treasure Beast would be unworthy of its name."
"It's only 100 grains of regular spirit rice, not 100 bowls, it shouldn't be too much."
With this thought, Lin Jing relaxed a bit.
"It'd be great if its effects could rival a Spirit Stone."
Lin Jing thought that this golden spirit rice would, like a Spirit Stone, greatly aid his cultivation.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
After the golden spirit rice, rich with Spiritual Qi, entered its stomach, the pine mouse's eye showed a hint of crimson. Not only did it not feel full, but a strong sense of hunger engulfed it!
Immediately after, under Lin Jing's silent gaze, it seemed possessed, its belly rumbling like thunder, descended upon the pile of spirit rice like a ravenous ghost, and began frantically shoving the freshly harvested spirit rice into its mouth.
Due to the bloodline contract with the pine mouse, Lin Jing could sense the pine mouse's current state.
Hungry. Extremely hungry.
The effect of this golden spirit rice wasn't satiation, but rather causing hunger!
Driven by this hunger, the pine mouse essentially indulged in gluttony, devouring vast amounts of spirit rice rapidly, yet, if it were before, consuming so much spirit rice would have immediately burdened it, making it unable to digest the nutrients and Spiritual Qi swiftly.
However, this time, its digestion capability seemed to have terrifyingly enhanced, and after sweeping away a pile of spirit rice, not only did it appear unscathed, but its aura also continuously strengthened as if it instantly absorbed all the nutrients of the spirit rice, converting them into its own strength!
Until... after it finished everything, the pine mouse's gluttonous frenzy finally subsided as it gradually regained clarity...
"Enhanced digestion ability to quickly absorb nutrients? The effect of the golden spirit rice... is surprisingly potent." Lin Jing took a deep breath; this was far more powerful than merely enhancing the spirit rice's quality, just what was the origin of this Treasure Beast Divine Technique...
Was this a kind of Immortal inheritance, an extraterrestrial mutation caused by the fall of an immortal transformed into a star, due to the starlight?
"Regardless, Treasure Beasts are indeed as Elder Mo said, very formidable, money won't be an issue in the future." He sighed.
However... Lin Jing was happy, but the pine mouse, after coming back to its senses and seeing all the hard-earned spirit rice it cultivated in a week had disappeared, confusedly widened its eyes, including the 200 grains Lin Jing had given again... all of them consumed at this point.
The plan to hoard food crumbled again!
"Squeak!!!!!" In the courtyard, the pine mouse let out a heart-wrenching cry, what kind of useless divine technique was this, unable to hoard anything, why couldn't it awaken a spatial divine technique!!!
