The Spirit-Seeking Mouse's Situation

A smile appeared on Ling Pengyun's face. He used his Divine Sense to touch the floating Beast Taming Pouch and summoned the Spirit Seeking Rat Beast Taming Pouch.

Although this Spirit Seeking Rat wasn't dragged to its death by its Qi Training Late Stage Evil Cultivator Master through the Recognition of Ownership Restriction, its current situation isn't much better.

It was already severely injured by the backlash of its Master's death due to the Recognition of Ownership Restriction. In addition, it had not eaten for more than ten days, so it was left with only one breath left and fell into a coma.

Seeing the state of the Spirit Seeking Rat, Ling Pengyun sighed, "If I had waited a few more days to wash away the Divine Sense imprint in the Beast Taming Pouch and summon the Spirit Seeking Rat, it would probably be a corpse by now."

Knowing that the Spirit Seeking Rat could still be saved, Ling Pengyun sent out a beam of spiritual light, which slid across his fingertip and, using ordinary blood as its source, cast a Recognition of Ownership Restriction, which he then injected into the Spirit Seeking Rat's body.

The Spirit Seeking Rat had fallen into a coma, and because of the death of its former Master, it suffered a backlash from the Recognition of Ownership Restriction placed on its body by the former Master. Its Divine Sense was extremely chaotic, and the Recognition of Ownership Restriction that Ling Pengyun had placed was not hindered at all and was placed in the body of the Spirit Seeking Rat very easily.

Once the Recognition of Ownership Restriction complete, Ling Pengyun also felt that a connection had been established between him and the Spirit Seeking Rat.

To prevent the Spirit Seeking Rat, which he had just tamed, from being severely injured and dying after a long time, Ling Pengyun summoned the Thorn Vine, mobilized a trace of the Yi Wood Essence within the Thorn Vine, and transferred it into the Spirit Seeking Rat's body.

The Yi Wood Essence inherently contains immense vitality; under certain circumstances, this Yi Wood Essence can be used as a Healing Pill.

Under the influence of the Yi Wood Essence, the vitality of the Spirit Seeking Rat has also increased.

Seeing that the Spirit Seeking Rat's condition had improved, Ling Pengyun, considering the preciousness of the Yi Wood Essence in the Thorn Vine, immediately put it away.

Then, he took out a First Grade Low Rank Spirit Fruit from his Storage Bag, crushed the spirit fruit into spirit juice, pried open the Spirit Seeking Rat's mouth, and fed it to it little by little.

Then, he mobilized his own spiritual power and poured it into the Spirit Seeking Rat's body to help the Spirit Seeking Rat refine the gentle spiritual power contained in the spiritual fruit juice it had consumed.

Not long after all the spiritual juices had transformed into spiritual power and entered the body of the Spirit Seeking Rat, Ling Pengyun activated his Divine Sense and woke up the unconscious Spirit Seeking Rat.

After struggling to open its eyes, the rat saw a strange human cultivator in front of it and immediately panicked.

It tried to move to escape, but found that it was in excruciating pain as soon as it moved.

Left with no other choice, it had to beg the strangers in front of it to spare it.

Seeing the Spirit Seeking Rat's actions, Ling Pengyun smiled and said, "Alright, I'm your New Master. I won't harm you. Use the gentle spiritual energy within you to heal your injuries."

With the help of the Recognition of Ownership Restriction, the Spirit Seeking Rat understood most of the meaning of these words.

After hearing this, the Spirit Seeking Rat felt that there was indeed a connection between itself and Ling Pengyun. It had only felt this connection with its former Master before, so it believed what was said.

However, it was still a little worried. It stared at Ling Pengyun for several dozen breaths and saw that Ling Pengyun had not made any unusual movements. Only then did it feel at ease and enter a deep sleep to recuperate its injuries.

Seeing that the Spirit Seeking Rat was healing peacefully and its condition was gradually improving, Ling Pengyun scanned the Spirit Seeking Rat with his Divine Sense again, sensing the aura on the rat, and muttered something to himself.

"This rat was only at the Early-Stage Qi Training Refining, and its foundation was severely damaged by the backlash from the Recognition of Ownership Restriction after its former Master's death. It's a pity."

"Given this rat's cultivation level, it should be useful for a while. Once my cultivation level is higher and I have more Spirit Stone, I'll have to look for a Spirit Beast with better aptitude that is more sensitive to Spiritual Qi."

Spirit Beast like the Spirit Seeking Rat, which are highly sensitive to Spiritual Qi, become more sensitive to spiritual objects the higher their cultivation level.

The lower one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to sense the presence of Spiritual Qi.

Spirit Beast like the Spirit Seeking Rat are highly valued for their effectiveness in searching for spirit objects, and are therefore very expensive, costing at least 30% more than Spirit Beast of the same rank.

After muttering something to himself, Ling Pengyun turned his gaze to the vermilion Beast Taming Pouch floating in front of him.

"This Beast Taming Pouch -Beast Taming Pouch is quite large, with a space of three zhang. It is most likely the spoils of war obtained by that Evil Cultivator cultivator in the Qi Training Late Stage who intercepted and killed a cultivator. Otherwise, that Evil Cultivator would probably not be willing to spend Spirit Stone to buy this item just to hold a Spirit Seeking Rat that is no bigger than the palm of his hand."

Beast Taming Pouch that is three zhang in size is generally very expensive, costing 30% more than a regular First Rank Middle Grade Law Artifact. On the market, Beast Taming Pouch of this size can sell for at least 130 to 150 Spirit Stone.

Using so many Spirit Stone just to hold a palm-sized Spirit Seeking Rat is something even Ling Pengyun Ling Pengyun, a cultivator from the Lineage who is skilled in two different arts, would be reluctant to do.

Not to mention that he had fallen so low that he would become a Qi Training Late Stage Evil Cultivator cultivator who survived by intercepting and killing others.

"It's good to have Beast Taming Pouch of this size. My Beast Taming Pouch, which is only half a Beast Taming Pouch. Otherwise, after some time, when the Wind Shadow Peng Roc grows bigger, it will be difficult to put Wind Shadow Peng away when necessary."

Ling Pengyun waved his hand and tightly grasped the Beast Taming Pouch that was floating in front of him. He closed his eyes, poured his Divine Sense into it, and slowly imprinted his own Divine Sense into it.

The following day, there were only two days left until the Spring Festival.

On this day, Ling Xiaoshun, who managed Lingxiao Grocery Store, came to Lingyun Mountain. After greeting the elder Ling Rucong, he left Lingyun Mountain with Ling Rucong Ling Pengyun.

The two traveled for two days, covering more than 3,000 miles, using their Flying Magical Item, and finally entered the vicinity of the Yang Clan's Level Cloud Mountain on the day of the Spring Festival.

Before he even got close to Level Cloud Mountain, a group of the Yang Clan clan members who used Flying Magical Item stopped Ling Pengyun.

Because Ling Xiaoshun was the son-in-law of the Fifth Elder of the Yang Clan, the group of the Yang Clan family members quickly let them pass and even sent a member of the Yang Clan family to guide Ling Pengyun and Ling Xiaoshun.

Level Cloud Mountain is hundreds of feet high, enough to be level with the clouds in the sky.

That is why this mountain is called "Pingyun".

The Spirit Vein beneath Level Cloud Mountain Second Grade Middle Rank and are protected by a Second Grade High Rank Grand Formation.

Led by the Yang Clan clansman, Ling Pengyun and his companion passed through the various checkpoints without difficulty and entered Level Cloud Mountain.

It is currently the Spring Festival, Level Cloud Mountain is filled with joy, with festive couplets still posted in every house.

Before long, Ling Pengyun and his companion arrived at the courtyard of Yang Minghua, the Fifth Elder of the Yang Clan family, led by the Yang Clan clan member. This courtyard belonged to Ling Pengyun's maternal grandfather and his family.

"Fellow Daoists, I have shown you the way, so I will take my leave now." The Yang Clan clansman said to Ling Pengyun and the other person, and then walked away on his own.
