The Treasure-seeking Mouse's ancestral reversion continued for three days. The power of the Ancestor Beast Holy Pill was astounding, and it smoothly advanced to Second Order.

Its appearance underwent earth-shattering changes; its pure white fur transformed into a grey coat with a white underbelly.

The most noticeable change was in its eyes. Its horizontally aligned double pupils shifted to become overlapping double pupils, black on the inside with a circle of gold around the outside, making them exceptionally mystical.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse was old and nearing its end, with only a few days to live. The bloodline reversion and advancement to Second Order marked a qualitative change.

Under normal advancement, the lifespan of a Rat Demon could at most double, reaching up to 120 years.

But as a genuine Treasure-seeking Mouse after reversion, its bloodline potential was beyond comparison, and its lifespan could reach at least 200 years.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse knew who had altered its fate of imminent death and let out affectionate squeaks.

Its former master, Xu Mao, had accompanied it through a lifetime, but the rodent's life had come to an abrupt end.

Its new master had given it a 'second life.'

Jia Ren used the Heart Language Technique to communicate with it, easily forming a Spirit Contract without any hindrance.

Why do I feel such anticipation?

Is it because it was a gift from the original master?

After its ancestral reversion, the Treasure-seeking Mouse squeaked non-stop, bursting with excitement. It dashed forward, arriving first before both the Demon-Sealing Tower and the Supreme Demon-sealing Tower.

To prevent the Demon-Sealing Tower from losing control as its quality improved to the peak of God Transformation Level, the refinement had to be halted.

The Supreme Demon-sealing Tower was less efficient than the Demon-Sealing Tower in burning and transforming Bizarre Demons, relying on the sacrificial fire from the Sealing Tower.

As of today, its quality had reached God Transformation Level, its power more outstanding, with the ability to seal Bizarre Demons even surpassing that of the Demon-Sealing Tower.

In the future, he would find a time to open the Bronze Gate of Bizarre Demons, sending a large number of Bizarre Demons into the Supreme Demon-sealing Tower.

Jia Ren, using the Heart Language Technique, sensed the Treasure-seeking Mouse's excitement.

Master, there are treasures!

So many treasures!

The Treasure-seeking Mouse's eyes sparkled, seemingly turning into the shape of coins.

"All these treasures are mine," Jia Ren said, looking at the Demon-Sealing Tower and the pile of God Transformation-grade Magic Treasures with a broad smile on his face.

Let alone Nascent Soul Cultivators of the same rank, even Divinity Transformation Cultivators couldn't compare to his wealth.

If the Seven Fiends Temple and the Black Water Sect knew of the priceless treasures he possessed, they would definitely turn their aggression towards him immediately.

The master's treasures are also mine!

And the tastiest Pills in the world...

Its previous master had been good to it, but compared to its new master, he was simply too poor.

Its attachment to its former master was instantly cast to the nine heavens.

He would find another time to test the Treasure-seeking Mouse's abilities!

Jia Ren went to the back mountain of the Spirit Insect Nest, where the ten Mutant Green Mulberry trees emanated a cyan spiritual light. Ten Azure Heaven Silkworms could be seen munching on the mulberry leaves and spinning cyan silk.

The Azure Heaven Silkworms were the result of the Sky-Blue Silkworms' ancestral reversion. The strongest one, after reversion, advanced to Third Rank, while the remaining nine were still at Second Order.

The silk of the Third-Rank Azure Heaven Silkworms was of superior quality, a top-notch material for making a Taoist Robe.

Unfortunately, the yield of Third-Rank Azure Heaven Silkworm silk was limited. After nearly two years, enough material had finally been gathered to refine a Taoist Robe.

A Taoist Robe suitable for Integration could now be refined!

The Insect External Incarnation left the Mountain and Sea Pearl, contemplating how to head to the Lingbao Sect.

The war between the Seven Fiends Temple and the Black Water Sect persisted, and it was uncertain when it would end. He couldn't keep waiting here.

As the Lingbao Sect's disciple recruitment event drew closer, his time was running out.

Should the main body use the Mirror Flower Divine Moon to traverse the battlefield?

Both sects had Divinity Transformation Cultivators, numbering more than one, and he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be discovered by the cultivators of either sect.

He would rather take a detour than risk it.

Only two paths remained: one through the Black Gold Desert and the other through the Black Python Swamp.

The former had a slightly lower risk level, while the latter contained unsealable Bizarre Demons.

These Bizarre Demons were extremely troublesome, making the Black Python Swamp a forbidden land for many Cultivators.

Unsealable Bizarre Demons presented only risks, no benefits.

Despite possessing many Evil-warding Treasures, he was not interested in dealing with such Bizarre Demons.

Jia Ren entered the Refining Workshop to refine the Azure Heaven Divine Robe.

The Insect External Incarnation set out towards the Black Gold Desert.

Successfully reaching the edge of the Black Gold Desert, it could see a distant sandstorm sweeping across the sky, raising billowing clouds of dust.

After waiting three days for the sandstorm to dissipate, the Insect External Incarnation did not idle. It sought out local Cultivators nearby, spending Spirit Stones to purchase maps of the Black Gold Desert from them.

Like the sea, the desert's most fearsome trait was getting lost.

Ordinary Cultivators would often spend a fortune to hire guides for navigation.

The Insect External Incarnation sought no such trouble and preferred not to have such encumbrances along the way.

By cross-referencing multiple maps, it avoided reliance on potentially inaccurate or incomplete ones.

Combining the Stargazing Technique's Immortal's Guidance with the Pathfinding Rod, it avoided danger to the greatest extent possible.

The Mountain and Sea Pearl was stocked with ample resources, so the Insect External Incarnation didn't waste any time and quickly set off.

The Black Gold Desert was unusual; its sand glinted black, shining in the sunlight like black gold.

Legend had it that after a battle between two Immortals, their Immortal Artifact fell here, giving rise to the Black Gold Desert.

Under the blazing sun, the black sands of the Black Gold Desert were scorching hot.

Walking barefoot there was like stepping on a heated iron plate.

The Insect External Incarnation, flapping the Silverflash Wings, carried a white bracelet in its right hand, emitting wisps of icy coolness to dispel the heat.

The advantage of abundant treasures was evident, as the multitude of Magic Artifacts in the Mountain and Sea Pearl varied widely in use.

The origin of this Top-grade Magical Instrument, made primarily of millennium-old cold jade, was unknown. It provided endless coldness, making it very appropriate for use in this place.

With a map, compass, Pathfinding Rod, and Immortal's Guidance, its preparations were thorough.

Jia Ren took out the Pathfinding Rod and used Immortal's Guidance, constantly changing directions to avoid getting lost.

Its flight speed was astonishing; crossing thousands of miles through the Black Gold Desert was no issue at all.

WHOOSH!

From a distance came the sound of sand and stones skimming across the desert, whistling through the air.

In the midst of the desert was a group of fist-sized, earthy yellow sand worms with mouthparts, spitting out black gold sand.

Unfortunately, the Insect External Incarnation's flight speed was too fast for these creatures to catch up.

I wonder if this place is related to High-Order Cultivators?

The Insect External Incarnation didn't believe in the legend of Immortal Artifacts. If there truly were Immortal Artifacts, High-Order Cultivators would have obtained them long ago. How could it be its turn to retrieve one?

The Black Gold Desert had existed for a long time, so the existence of treasures could not be ruled out.

The word 'treasure' made the Insect External Incarnation think of the Treasure-seeking Mouse.

He hadn't had the Treasure-seeking Mouse for long. After its bloodline reverted, the main body was busy refining a Taoist Robe and had no time for other matters.

Up to now, the Treasure-seeking Mouse had not had the chance to show its divine prowess.

In the Black Gold Desert, most of the sand beasts encountered were First-Order Monsters, posing no threat. Since I am passing through this place, might releasing the Treasure-seeking Mouse lead to finding treasures?

Thinking of this, the Insect External Incarnation stopped its Escape Light.

It entered the Mountain and Sea Pearl and grabbed the Treasure-seeking Mouse, which was napping heartily atop the Demon-Sealing Tower.

The little fellow squeaked incessantly, reluctant to leave the precious item.

Moreover, the Mountain and Sea Pearl, with its abundant Spiritual Energy, was like a treasure pagoda. Switching its current abode for the unbearably hot desert was like descending from the Immortal Realm to the Underworld.

Only when the Insect External Incarnation directed the chill of the millennium-old cold jade onto it did the Treasure-seeking Mouse begrudgingly burrow into the sleeve of its robe.

"Half of the treasures found will be yours!" Upon hearing this, the Treasure-seeking Mouse became energized as if it had been injected with adrenaline.

Even if I give treasures to the little mouse, it can't use them. Ultimately, they'll still be mine...

The Insect External Incarnation continued to use the Pathfinding Rod, changing directions and adjusting positions along the way.

After a day of flight, it had already covered thousands of miles.

The Pathfinding Rod led the way, and it encountered no danger in the Black Gold Desert.

SQUEAK! SQUEAK!

Just at that moment, the Treasure-seeking Mouse inside the sleeve of the Taoist Robe began to squeak, as if it had found a treasure.

The Insect External Incarnation stopped its Escape Light and followed the Treasure-seeking Mouse.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse moved with remarkable speed. Besides its treasure-seeking ability, it had a natural gift for speed.

It didn't have strong combat capabilities. If it wasn't adept at escaping, it would have died countless times by now.

The Insect External Incarnation followed the Treasure-seeking Mouse and saw a small oasis within the desert.

A sizeable lake was surrounded by lush green vegetation. A towering tree was hung with jujubes the size of fingertips, each emitting a golden-red glow.

These jujubes were extraordinary; they were certainly from a Spirit Jujube Tree.

This was the Red Gold Sand Jujube recorded in the Spirit Object Manual, a rare Fourth-Order spiritual plant that bore Spirit Jujubes highly beneficial to cultivators specializing in metal and fire elements.

They could also be used to refine several types of Spirit Pills that enhanced Cultivation Levels.

"Come back to me!"

The Insect External Incarnation grabbed the Treasure-seeking Mouse, staring solemnly at the distant jujube tree.

The place seemed ordinary, with no sense of demonic energy, but it was still acutely aware of danger.

With Heavenly Vision activated, it finally spotted a green worm the size of a toothpick on a tree leaf.

It was a small, emerald-green snake. Without Heavenly Vision, it would have been difficult to spot the hidden creature.

This inconspicuous little thing was far from ordinary; its aura unmistakably belonged to a Fourth-Order Demon Beast.

If one let down their guard and went to pick the Red Gold Sand Jujubes, they were sure to die from this snake's sneak attack.

"Go!"

The Insect External Incarnation waved its hand, and twelve Silver Moon Yakshas flew out, heading towards the Red Gold Jujube Tree.

Dangerous tasks were handled by its fighters, and an early-stage Fourth-Order Demon Beast couldn't turn the tide.

With the Silver Moon Yakshas too numerous, the emerald-green snake played dead and didn't make a move.

So it's scared, huh?

Just as the Insect External Incarnation got closer, the emerald-green snake suddenly exploded into action.

Its speed was incredibly fast, almost too fast for cultivators to perceive.

This Magical Beast was highly intelligent. Aware that the Insect External Incarnation was the leader, it hid in the shadows, waiting until the main target was within a hundred feet before striking suddenly.

HUM!

It struck a black shield adorned with tortoise patterns. The Xuan Gui Shield's counterattack power erupted, knocking it out on the spot.

After falling unconscious, the green snake transformed from the size of a toothpick into a three-foot-thick green venomous snake.

The Magical Beast possessed the innate ability to change its size.

"Kill it!"

Taming a fully grown Magical Beast was extremely difficult. Unless it was a rare Magical Beast like the Treasure-seeking Mouse, any beast that attacked him would be killed.

The Demon Soul and Demonic Beast Materials from a Fourth-Order Demon Beast were quite good. After slaughtering it, he extracted its soul and took its beast core, storing them in the Mountain and Sea Pearl.

The Red Gold Jujube Tree was also uprooted in its entirety and moved into the Mountain and Sea Pearl.

This trip had been quite rewarding; the Treasure-seeking Mouse had made a great contribution.

Just as the Insect External Incarnation was about to retract the twelve guardian-like Silver Moon Yakshas, the Treasure-seeking Mouse began to squeak again.

Could there be more treasures here?

Or could it be that the treasure the Treasure-seeking Mouse discovered was never this Red Gold Jujube Tree to begin with?

Are there other treasures hidden in this place?!
