When Wang Changsheng was learning the knowledge of cultivating immortals from his clan elders, he learned the prohibitions on allowing spiritual beasts to recognize their masters.
Because of the lack of money, Wang Changsheng did not tame the spirit beast, which has always been his regret. Today, he rarely encountered this demon rat, so Wang Changsheng wanted to claim it as his owner to add a little fun to the boring life.
With a flick of his wrist, the rope pulled the yellow mouse into the air.
The yellow mouse made a "chichi" sound from its mouth and twisted its limbs.
Wang Changsheng squatted down and muttered something. After a while, his hands lit up with a dazzling yellow light. He pressed his hands on the ground. Two dazzling yellow lights followed his hands and disappeared into the ground.
The next moment, the ground quickly petrified, the originally soft soil turned into hard gray stone, and a stone slab about ten feet in size suddenly took shape.
Wang Changsheng took out a porcelain bowl and muttered something in his mouth. A large amount of blue light appeared out of thin air and turned into clear water amidst the sound of the spell.
He cut his wrist with a dagger and let the blood flow into a porcelain bowl filled with water.
Wang Changsheng dipped his fingers in blood and drew a mysterious pattern two feet long and wide on the stone slab, and hit a magic formula on the mysterious pattern.
The mysterious pattern suddenly brightened up, and after a whirlwind, it flew out from the stone slab and disappeared into the body of the yellow mouse in a flash.
Wang Changsheng felt that he had established some kind of special connection with the yellow mouse. This feeling was like a touch of his hands and feet.
After recognizing the master, Wang Changsheng changed his magic formula and let go of the yellow mouse with the demon binding rope. The yellow mouse immediately rushed towards the hole in the pool.
Wang Changsheng made a seal with one hand, and the yellow mouse immediately let out a scream and fell to the ground.
After a wild monster recognizes its master, its wild nature is hard to change and must be tamed slowly.
Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment and took out a wooden jar from his storage bag. When he opened it, a strong aroma of rice wafted out. Inside the wooden jar were some crystal clear blue rice grains, emitting a peculiar smell.
The yellow mouse sniffed a few times with its nose, turned around, and looked at the wooden jar in Wang Changsheng's hand with narrowed eyes.
Wang Changsheng smiled indifferently and poured the few blue rice grains left in the wooden jar on the stone slab. After a moment's hesitation, he picked up twenty more grains, put them back into the wooden jar, and said to the yellow mouse: "Be honest and obedient. From now on, every month , I’ll give you some Blue Moon Spirit Rice to eat.”
The yellow mouse did not understand Wang Changsheng's words, but it could not resist the strange fragrance emitted by the Blue Moon Spirit Rice. After hesitating for a moment, it ran towards Wang Changsheng.
Blue Moon Spiritual Rice is a first-order middle-grade spiritual rice that matures once every three years. There are a total of twelve Blue Moon Spiritual Rice grains on the stone plate, yes, twelve grains.
His mother was worried when his son traveled thousands of miles. Every once in a while, his mother Liu Qing'er would use the spiritual stones she had saved through frugality to buy some blue moon spiritual rice and ask someone to deliver it to Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng only eats a small bowl of Blue Moon Spirit rice every ten days and a half. His life is very tight. If it were not for the purpose of taming this spirit rat, he would not be willing to take out twelve blue moon spirit rice!
The yellow mouse ate up the twelve blue moon rice by striking three times and five times five times.
Twelve grains of blue moon rice could not fill its stomach. It actually stood up on its hind legs like a human, and made a "chichi" sound in its mouth, which seemed to express something.
Through the communication of his spiritual consciousness, Wang Changsheng clearly sensed the longing emotion coming from the yellow mouse.
"I'm not satisfied even if I give you even half of it. You're such a glutton!"
Wang Changsheng chuckled, took out ten blue moon blue rice, and placed them in the palm of his hand.
The yellow mouse couldn't reach it, so after a slight hesitation, it climbed onto Wang Changsheng's body along the legs of Wang Changsheng's trousers, jumped into Wang Changsheng's palm, and ate ten blue moon rice.
"Jiji!"
The yellow mouse lay quietly in the palm of Wang Changsheng's hand, its tail swaying around. Wang Changsheng could feel that it was very happy.
"You little guy must have eaten a lot of good food, look at how fat you are." Wang Changsheng grabbed the bloated yellow mouse and chuckled.
"Jiji!"
The yellow mouse kept barking, as if protesting against Wang Changsheng's mocking of its fatness.
"Okay, it's getting late. Come home with me first." Wang Changsheng stuffed the yellow mouse into his arms, turned and walked outside.
In another year, he will leave here and will not have any use for this spiritual vein, but he still used the earth wall technique to block the entrance of the cave.
After leaving the cave, Wang Changsheng's lips moved slightly, and a white cloud appeared out of thin air under his feet, holding him up slowly into the sky and flying towards the distance.
After returning to Lotus Island, Wang Changsheng returned to the boring life of asceticism.
I practice spells in the morning and meditate in the afternoon and evening. The days are rather boring, but with the spirit rat as my companion, I feel better than before.
Among the hundreds of arts of cultivation, there is the art of beast control. However, Wang Changsheng came out to work two years in advance and did not know much about the art of beast control.
He didn't know the name of the spirit rat, but he only knew that it liked to eat.
Two months passed quickly.
Early that morning, Wang Changsheng was having breakfast. The spirit rat was lying on the table, eating a yellow croaker with relish.
Every time he had a meal, Wang Changsheng would feed the spirit rat some food, slowly winning the spirit rat's trust.
Now even if Wang Changsheng drives it away, it is unwilling to leave Wang Changsheng.
At this moment, Wang Qiusheng suddenly walked in. Before he could speak, his expression changed when he saw the spirit rat on the table, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle Jiu, please forgive me. My grandson was slack and let the rat run in. Grandson Take it away now."
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the spirit rat.
The spirit rat seemed to have noticed something, and it made a "chichi" sound in its mouth, and rushed to Wang Changsheng's shoulder in twos and twos.
This frightened Wang Qiusheng. Before he could apologize, Wang Changsheng said, "You don't have to make a fuss. This is my domesticated spirit rat. I've eaten a lot lately, and most of my food has been eaten by it."
"Spirit rat! That's it." Wang Qiusheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My grandson thought it was a rat that came from somewhere! But then again, Uncle Jiu's spirit rat is quite similar to a poison-seeking rat. "
"Pharm-seeking rat! Tell me about this drug-seeking rat!" Wang Changsheng suddenly became interested.
"The drug-seeking rat, also known as the golden-eyed rat, is a mutant species of the mole. It has a bloated body, a pointed mouth, is good at digging holes, and has a keen sense of smell. It can easily find some rare medicinal materials. Experienced herb collectors will tame the drug-seeking rat and use it to Come to look for some medicinal herbs. My grandson's family runs an herbal medicine business and has domesticated several poison-seeking rats. The body shape and characteristics of this spiritual rat are similar to those of poison-seeking rats. If uncle Jiu hadn't reminded him, my grandson would definitely kill this rat when he saw it. You can't catch it back, an experienced drug-seeking rat is worth thousands of taels of silver on the market!" Wang Qiusheng said happily.
Wang Changsheng suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this spirit rat could dig through the pool. It turned out that it was naturally good at digging holes and finding elixirs.
"By the way, you are so impatient. What happened?"
"Second aunt is here, right outside!"
Wang Changsheng's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask: "Second sister is here? Where is she! Take me to see her quickly."
"No need, Ninth Brother, I can just come in by myself." A clear and sweet female voice sounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman wearing a yellow dress walked in.
The woman in the yellow dress is about twenty years old, with high black hair, delicate features, a bit of heroism between her eyebrows, and two eyes as bright as stars.
The woman is none other than Wang Changsheng’s cousin Wang Changxue.
