Chapter 94

"Those guys are really too stingy. They actually can't bear to feed the spirit beast they finally tamed!"

"This spirit beast doesn't even have a name, but it's certain that it has at least the ability to track or see through disguises. It might be worth keeping it alive."

Su Shier muttered to himself softly.

Hearing his words, the spirit rat immediately stretched out its front paws and nodded vigorously, looking obedient.

In its eyes, a faint glint of cunning shone as it secretly observed the surroundings.

Su Shier was amazed at how intelligent the spirit beast was.

Then, he grinned and put the spirit beast back into the spirit beast bag.

He wanted to keep the spirit beast, but he didn't know how to control it or its background, so he couldn't let it go just because it acted obedient.

Without rushing to practice, Su Shier sat in his room and took out the books he had exchanged from Qianshan Market, starting to read them one by one.

He had a good memory, and becoming a cultivator had made him even more energetic.

He quickly flipped through one book after another, but the content was of no use for cultivation and was considered useless by most cultivators.

However, Su Shier didn't think so.

"Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles!" This was the warning left by his grandfather and his life motto.

Only in this way could he quickly increase his experience and knowledge.

In no time, the various books piled up in Su Shier's room had filled half the room.

Meanwhile, the news of Ye Liangchuan and the other two going missing had already caused a stir throughout the Yun Ge Sect.

Some speculated that they had gone out to seek treasure, while others believed they might have met with misfortune.

This even alarmed the peak master of Tianhua Peak, Fu Boran. However, after a week of investigation, Fu Boran found nothing.

For a long time, many disciples of Tianhua Peak were seen around Luofu Peak, either intentionally or unintentionally, looking for a familiar figure.

Some even connected this to Su Shier, who had been missing for a long time.

However, since Su Shier returned, he had been in seclusion. Only Xiao Yue knew he was back, and no one else knew.

One month, two months, and the matter gradually faded away.

One morning, Su Shier, holding a book, excitedly took the spirit rat out of the spirit beast bag.

The spirit rat was now thinner and looked listless.

But as Su Shier carefully examined the spirit rat, his face was full of smiles.

"I never thought this little spirit rat, which looks so ordinary, would be a Spirit Devouring Rat."

"This Spirit Devouring Rat feeds on various spiritual materials and can see through disguises and track auras. In ancient times, it was specifically used by cultivators to seek treasure."

"However, after the decline of the spiritual energy in the world, this kind of spirit beast has become very rare. I didn't expect that the round-faced fatty could find such a spirit beast."

Su Shier grinned and muttered to himself.

Then, he raised his hand, and a second-grade spirit plant appeared in his hand.

Seeing the spirit plant, the Spirit Devouring Rat immediately perked up, its eyes wide and struggling to pounce on the spirit plant in Su Shier's hand.

Su Shier grinned and didn't tease it, handing over the spirit plant.

The Spirit Devouring Rat hugged the spirit plant and gnawed at it vigorously.

Seeing this, Su Shier quickly formed a seal with his hands, pointing at the Spirit Devouring Rat's head.

A thread of true essence entered the Spirit Devouring Rat's body from his fingertip.

In the next second, Su Shier felt a faint connection with the Spirit Devouring Rat.

There are many ways for cultivators to control spirit beasts, such as using a spirit ring, cultivating a bond through long-term interaction, or forming a contract with a seal.

Su Shier used the last method, which he learned from a miscellaneous book. It was a very simple method.

This seal wouldn't impose much constraint on the spirit beast; it could only help track its location.

But that was enough for Su Shier.

If the spirit beast dared to run away, he wouldn't hesitate to kill it.

Raising such a spirit beast actually required a lot of spiritual materials.

For the round-faced fatty, it was a significant expense. He might not have recognized the spirit beast and treated it as a regular tracking spirit beast, which explained why the Spirit Devouring Rat was so thin.

However, for Su Shier, this wasn't a big problem.

The Spirit Devouring Rat would be a great helper in seeking treasure. Su Shier's Heavenly Eye Technique could only observe the flow of spiritual energy, and it relied heavily on his own analysis, which was too limiting.

After dealing with the Spirit Devouring Rat, Su Shier left his residence and headed to the mission hall.

His mission from back then was to slay a demon beast, a long-term mission. He could obtain sect contribution points by submitting the mission token and the demon beast's corpse.

With the mission rewards, his sect contribution points officially reached over two thousand.

Without hesitation, Su Shier immediately went to the Treasure Pavilion.

"Elder, I want to exchange for the four remaining spirit pearls on the second floor!" Su Shier said as he approached the guardian elder.

As he spoke, he handed over his identity token.

In the sect, disciples' contribution points were linked to their identity tokens.

"Hmm? It's you!" The guardian elder's gaze quickly swept over Su Shier, and after a moment of thought, he recalled.

Then, he pursed his lips and looked at Su Shier with a strange expression.

"You're quite something, taking three years to accumulate two thousand contribution points?"

"Disciple's talent is dull, and my strength is low, so it took a bit longer." Su Shier smiled awkwardly, not minding the elder's condescending tone.

In fact, he hoped everyone would think he was a useless person.

After reading so many books and experiencing so much, Su Shier increasingly understood the wisdom of making a fortune quietly.

"Hmph! Those Five Elements Spirit Pearls are treasures on the second floor. You, a mere Fifth Stage Cultivation, don't have the qualifications to exchange for them..."

The guardian elder frowned and grunted.

Before he could finish, Su Shier calmly handed over a second-grade spirit plant.

"Please, Elder, consider Sister Xiao Yue's face and make an exception!"

"Hmm? Whose face? The treasures on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion can't be exchanged based on anyone's face." The guardian elder's eyes gleamed with a sharp light when he saw the spirit plant, but he quickly put on a stern face and scolded.

Uh... Is it too little? Or should I ask Sister Xiao Yue to come and help?

Su Shier's heart trembled as he thought about what to do.

At that moment, the guardian elder snatched the spirit plant from his hand and quickly put it into his storage bag.

"However, one of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls is missing, so they can only be considered four ordinary high-grade magical weapons."

"They are no longer worth being placed on the second floor, so you can exchange for them normally!"

With that, the guardian elder turned and walked into the Treasure Pavilion.

Su Shier then noticed that other disciples were also selecting treasures inside.

This old man really wants both fame and profit!

Su Shier's lips twitched, but he didn't care.
