Primordial Era: This Humble Daoist Yun Xiao, Saint of Three Immortal Island!

[Option 1: Feed the Treasure Seeking Rat to Xiao Bai, reward: a set of Innate Rat Bones]

[Option 2: Take the Treasure Seeking Rat as a pet, reward: a wisp of Chaos Origin Qi]

A Treasure Seeking Rat?

Looking at the system's options, Yun Xiao's heart stirred.

Since a moment ago, she had a slight suspicion about the Treasure Seeking Rat's identity. Now that it was confirmed, her expression became rather peculiar.

It was nothing else, because according to her memories, Duobao Daoist, the personal disciple of Sect Master Tongtian, was the first rat in existence, the Treasure Seeking Rat!

If following the normal historical progression of the Primordial Era, the rat before her was her senior brother!

She dared not disrespect her senior brother!

Thinking this, Yun Xiao put down the Treasure Seeking Rat, pointed a finger at its forehead, and extracted a trace of its Primordial Spirit imprint.

"From now on, you'll be my pet."

[Host has completed an option, reward: a wisp of Chaos Origin Qi]

As the system's voice sounded, a wisp of Chaos Origin Qi instantly appeared in Yun Xiao's sleeve.

"What terrible karma have I brought upon myself!"

At this moment, the Treasure Seeking Rat was still wailing. This time, it had truly lost both wife and soldiers.

Not only was its nest destroyed, but it had also become someone else's pet!

"Go."

Just then, Yun Xiao infused the Chaos Origin Qi into the Treasure Seeking Rat's body.

"Buzz--"

The next moment, the Treasure Seeking Rat emitted a dazzling light. Behind it, a phantom image of a colossal divine rat appeared, as if all Spiritual Treasures in the world revolved around it.

Its originally golden fur also gradually shifted towards a grayish-white.

This was a change of returning to simplicity, and its cultivation realm also broke through to the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

It could be seen that the Treasure Seeking Rat's bloodline was continuously advancing towards that of a Chaos Treasure Seeking Rat.

As long as it completely refined the Chaos Origin Qi, it would undergo a complete transformation and ascend to become a Chaos Divine Rat!

"Thank you, Master!"

The Treasure Seeking Rat flipped over and respectfully kowtowed to Yun Xiao, with no trace of resentment left.

Being a pet was delicious, so delicious!

"Now, how far can you smell the scent of treasures?" Yun Xiao asked.

"With my current realm, I can smell the scent of treasures within a radius of five billion li."

"A faint scent indicates a Postnatal Treasure, while a rich scent indicates a Prenatal Treasure. Furthermore, the richer the scent, the higher the treasure's grade."

As the Treasure Seeking Rat spoke, its nose twitched. After a while, its eyes lit up, and it pointed south, "Master, I smell a very rich scent!"

"Let's go."

Yun Xiao's expression brightened. She rode Xiao Bai and transformed into a stream of light, flying south.

In less than half a day, they arrived at the location the Treasure Seeking Rat had sensed. Before them stood an extremely magnificent mountain peak, reaching straight into the sky.

Although this mountain peak was not as undulating as other divine mountains in the Primordial Era, it was unimaginably tall. Even the sea of clouds could only float halfway up the mountain.

Under the sunlight, it radiated brilliant spiritual light. The boundless summit seemed as if it would pierce a hole in the heavens!

"Could it be, the legendary Shouyang Mountain?"

Looking at the mountain peak before her, Yun Xiao suddenly had a feeling.

Shouyang Mountain, the future dojo of Taiqing Laozi.

Legend had it that this mountain was formed from a part of Great God Pangu's body. It sometimes rose and fell, and morning was the time when Shouyang Mountain was at its highest!

"So long..."

Yun Xiao approached and looked up in surprise. The summit stood at the very top of the firmament, as if it would plunge into the starry sky if it grew even an inch longer!

"Master, the treasure is at the summit," the Treasure Seeking Rat said, twitching its nose again.

"Xiao Bai, let's go."

Yun Xiao rode Xiao Bai, soaring upwards, covering thousands of miles in an instant. In a short while, they reached the summit of Shouyang Mountain.

She sent out a wave of magical power. The next moment, a Prenatal Restriction was shaken out of the void.

Taking out the Enlightenment Mirror and a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, Yun Xiao began to break the restriction. Ten years later, a crisp sound rang out, and an entrance slowly formed.

Leaving Xiao Bai and the others to guard outside, Yun Xiao stepped inside.

"Swish swish swish!"

Like other Prenatal Restrictions, this Prenatal Restriction of Shouyang Mountain was filled with Chaos Qi Streams that had not yet transformed into Innate Spiritual Energy.

Yun Xiao walked forward quickly, and in no time, she reached the deepest part of the restriction.

A solid, towering platform of red copper appeared before her, giving off a feeling of immense weight, as if stars were falling.

"Shouyang Copper!" Yun Xiao's eyes lit up.

This Shouyang Copper had an extraordinary origin. It was a piece of copper that had been imbued with the supremely yang energy of Great God Pangu, making it an extremely precious material for refining artifacts!

In her memories, Taiqing Laozi's Sea-Calming Divine Needle and the As-You-Wish Iron Rod, both famous divine weapons in the Journey to the West, had been forged with even a trace of Shouyang Copper mixed in!

And that was just a trace!

Now, the Shouyang Copper before Yun Xiao was as tall as a person, practically inexhaustible!

Coincidentally, she was in need of a suitable alchemical furnace. With the Shouyang Copper, all her problems would be solved.

Since this copper was imbued with the supremely yang energy of Great God Pangu, if it were made into an alchemical furnace, the spiritual pills refined within would naturally be more potent than ordinary ones.

Taiqing Laozi's fame in alchemy in later generations was partly due to his cultivation realm, and partly thanks to the Shouyang Copper.

However, Yun Xiao's gaze lingered on the Shouyang Copper for only a moment before being drawn to a Spiritual Treasure floating above it.

Suspended on the copper platform was a large, crimson seal, radiating brilliant, indestructible innate spiritual light. The body of the seal was engraved with mountains, rivers, and landscapes, as well as birds, flowers, fish, and insects. On the bottom of the seal were the characters "Kongtong"!

Seeing the vigorous "Kongtong" characters, the origin of this Spiritual Treasure became clear.

The Kongtong Seal, a supreme treasure that suppressed the Destiny of the human race!

However, the human race had not yet been born, nor had their Destiny coalesced. Therefore, the Kongtong Seal at this moment was merely an ordinary Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, not yet displaying the phenomenon of nine Destiny golden dragons coiling around it.

But it was still a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and such an opportunity was enough to make anyone incredibly envious!

"By some twist of fate, I've stumbled upon Taiqing Laozi's dojo. He hasn't even taken form yet, so these opportunities naturally belong to me."

Yun Xiao smiled brightly and waved her hand, putting away the Kongtong Seal.

Kunlun Mountain, you have the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Exquisite Pagoda protecting you, so I can't do anything to you.

But the items on Shouyang Mountain should belong to me, right!

Yun Xiao felt no guilt whatsoever about snatching Taiqing Laozi's opportunities.

In later generations, Taiqing Laozi founded the Human Religion and used the Kongtong Seal to suppress the human race's Destiny, yet he neglected the human race, turning a blind eye to the demons eating humans!

He even imprisoned the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, who had made great contributions to humanity, in Huoyun Cave, under the guise of suppressing the human race's Destiny!

In reality, he was afraid that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would contribute too much to humanity and steal some of his Destiny!

With someone like him, the Kongtong Seal would only be wasted.

Although Yun Xiao was not human now, her soul was that of a righteous Chinese person!

She naturally found Taiqing Laozi's hypocritical behavior extremely displeasing.

"Refine!"

With that thought, Yun Xiao's divine sense entered the Kongtong Seal. It only took her a few decades to complete the initial refinement of the Kongtong Seal.

Afterward, she activated the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler and cut off a large piece from the Shouyang Copper. She then summoned the Spirit Coffin Lamp and circulated the Great Dao of Artifacts, beginning to forge the alchemical furnace.

Ten years, thirty years, fifty years...

"Buzz—"

On this day, a crimson light shot straight into the sky. A cauldron-like alchemical furnace hovered in mid-air, emitting wisps of supremely yang energy, causing the entire space to become scorching hot!

Beneath it, the Netherworld Ghost Fire within the Spirit Coffin Lamp could not destroy the alchemical furnace no matter how it burned. Instead, under the intertwining of nether energy and supremely yang energy, a wisp of Yin Yang Two Energies was born!

"Go."

Yun Xiao threw all the Postnatal Spiritual Fruits and Lower-grade Innate Spiritual Fruits she held into the furnace. Instantly, spiritual light surged to the heavens, and a rich aroma of pills filled the entire Restriction.

Within a few years, the furnace lid began to tremble. The next moment, several streams of light shot into the sky, only to be caught by Yun Xiao.

At this moment, she held over sixty Three-Revolving Spiritual Pills and more than thirty Four-Revolving Spiritual Pills in her hands!

A Four-Revolving Spiritual Pill could be refined using Lower-grade Innate Spiritual Fruits. Using Middle-grade ones would be a waste; it would be better to consume them directly.
