Chapter 89 Ancient Tales

A large piece of divine source was extracted from the basin-sized source stone, and Qi Zhe was quite surprised to find a blurry mass of flesh and blood and a small mouse in it.

When he broke through the divine source and took the little mouse out of it, he discovered that the little mouse was still alive and was a low-level demon.

At this moment, Duan De walked over from the side, his eyes full of doubt as he stared at the blurry flesh peeling away from the divine source, and couldn't help but mutter, "It seems to have been left behind by an ancient creature."

However, he was too lazy to care and turned to look at the little mouse.

"Chirp chirp."

The small mouse, with its gray-black fur, was suspended in mid-air, its body covered in chains-like Dao patterns, making it difficult to escape even with its struggles.

Duan De watched the little mouse squeak, his expression changed, and he smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a divine mouse, which will be of great use underground."

Duan De was very experienced. He had been going into tombs for many years and used various spirit rats to explore. He knew all kinds of spirit rats in the world and could use special methods to sense evil spirits underground.

The little mouse in front of us is a divine mouse. Not only is it born with the ability to manipulate the field, but it can even sense the approach of evil spirits. It is definitely a rare treasure.

But because of this, Duan De was also puzzled, and couldn't help but wonder why the little mouse appeared in the Originium.

“The divine rat was sealed in the source, and the source stone contains the flesh and blood of ancient creatures. There must be some intricate connection between the two, perhaps…” Duan De said with a strange expression.

Qi Zhe was taken aback upon hearing this, and said directly, "Why bother guessing? This little mouse is still a living creature; we can tell just by looking at its consciousness!"

As Qi Zhe spoke, his eyes gleamed with silver light, and a wisp of divine sense shot out from his forehead, probing into the little mouse's sea of ​​consciousness to see why it was in the stone.

"Chirp chirp."

The little mouse struggled violently in the air, its eyes, the size of mung beans, rolled back, and strange rays of light emanated from its body.

At this moment, Qi Zhe also probed into the little mouse's sea of ​​consciousness and saw some of its experiences from many years ago, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He discovered the origin of the little mouse, finding that it had existed for over a million years and came from a group of spirit mice fed by an ancient race.

That was the ancient primordial era, when the essence of heaven and earth was abundant and the Great Dao was within reach. However, with the outbreak of a great war, that ancient clan suffered a blow.

The ancient clan to which this little mouse belonged was destroyed in a great war in less than three years, when a battle axe that fell from the sky shattered their ancestral land.

On that day, many creatures that depended on the ancient race perished tragically, including the little mouse, whose spirit mouse clan was no exception; it was the only one left alive.

In that era of the survival of the fittest, weakness was the original sin. The ancient tribe it depended on was no match for its opponent and was wiped out with a single axe blow, and the tribes that depended on it were also extinct.

Fortunately, it was lucky. The little mouse that escaped death was hit by a ball of divine source liquid and was sealed away along with a pool of ancient creature flesh and blood.

A few years ago, the little mouse was awakened in the source, but unfortunately it was buried deep underground and could not be born. If it were not for the excavation by the Five Elements Palace, it might have stayed underground until the divine source was exhausted.

After observing everything, Qi Zhe was quite surprised to see the little mouse and couldn't help but mutter, "So many creatures have gone extinct, but it survived. It's really lucky!"

Duan De was also somewhat surprised upon seeing this and couldn't help but ask, "What did you see?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe recounted everything he had seen, which astonished Duan De, who stared wide-eyed at the little mouse in amazement.

"A relic from the ancient times, truly a treasure!" Duan Demo stroked his chin, his round face bearing a meaningful expression.

"Hehe!" Duan De then let out a lewd laugh and turned to Qi Zhe, asking, "Do you know where that ancient clan is located? Who knows, there might be ancient treasures buried underground!"

Although that ancient clan was destroyed, it was able to survive in the ancient era and withstand a great war that spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness for two years, so it can be said that it had some foundation.

Moreover, Qi Zhe saw the battle axe fall to the ground in the little mouse's memory, and felt that it was an axe that shattered the Netherworld, and that it shattered hundreds of thousands of miles of land with a single blow.

Even the combined flashing of all the array patterns in that ancient clan's ancestral land couldn't stop the opponent; it was blasted deep into the earth, forming a mineral vein. The power was indescribable; it was undoubtedly the work of a sage from the ancient times, perhaps even the ancestor of an ancient royal family.

Qi Zhe suddenly realized something after a moment's thought and couldn't help but say, "There's a chance! That ancient clan was destroyed very suddenly, so there might really be some remaining treasures!"

Upon hearing this, Duan De became even more excited. His obese body trembled under his Taoist robe, and his mouth gaped open, drooling. He was already drooling with anticipation for the treasure.

However, Qi Zhe knew that the place was now being used as a mine by the Five Elements Palace, and anyone wanting to dig for treasure would have to get past them first.

Thinking about it, Qi Zhe couldn't help but say, "That ancient clan's ancestral land is a mineral vein outside the Five Elements Palace. If you and I go to explore it, we will inevitably have to deal with the Five Elements Palace again."

Duan De was taken aback upon hearing this and began to frown as he considered the pros and cons.

Qi Zhe was also deep in thought at this moment. He was unsure whether the ancestral land of an ancient race contained immeasurable treasures.

The Eastern Wilderness is teeming with treasures and hidden opportunities. Going there would be a waste of time if there were no treasures to be found.

"Chirp chirp."

The spirit rat, which had been sealed for a long time, kept squealing in the air, its small body struggling violently within the Dao patterns, which annoyed Qi Zhe, who was lost in thought.

"This rat is really annoying!" Qi Zhe didn't hesitate and immediately took out a jade bottle to seal it.

Just then, the spirit rat began to tumble violently in the air, and then it spat out a purple seed shaped like a water droplet from its belly.

It was extremely intelligent. After spitting out the seed, it held its forelegs and bowed repeatedly to Qi Zhe, hoping that Qi Zhe would let it go.

"Clap."

These tiny purple seeds, shaped like water droplets and only the size of water droplets, made a crisp sound when they fell into the sand, which surprised Qi Zhe.

"Huh?" Duan De asked in surprise.

Seeing this, Qi Zhe quickly reached out and grabbed the purple seed, causing Duan De, who had intended to use a sneak attack, to miss his target, and a look of frustration appeared on his face.

"You're really quick, kid!" Duan De was speechless.

Qi Zhe, however, wore a victorious expression, holding the coin and saying, "Master Duan, you still need to practice more."

As he spoke, Qi Zhe began to examine the seed and discovered that it was a gourd seed, so hard that it could not be crushed. He wondered how many years it had been inside the little mouse's belly.

"It seems to be a seed of some kind of spiritual root of heaven and earth. I heard that in ancient times someone once used a green gourd to forge an ultimate weapon." Duan De's eyes were wide open.

“It’s the Yuanhuang Gourd. Everyone says it looks like gold but isn’t, and they don’t know what it’s made of. But you know it’s made of a gourd,” Qi Zhe said, stroking his chin.

Duan De's eyes widened upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Qi Zhe to know about ancient events and even the legend of the Yuan Emperor's gourd.

Qi Zhe did not believe that the seed in his hand was a divine object, comparable to the green gourd used by the Yuan Emperor to forge imperial weapons.

Holding it in your hand, you can feel that the essence within it has long since disappeared, but the outer shell of the seed is still incredibly hard, which does not conform to the characteristics of an immortal spiritual root of heaven and earth.

“Perhaps there really is a purple-skinned gourd, just like the black-skinned gourd and the green-skinned gourd, and this seed might be its seed,” Qi Zhe said with a sudden realization.

The gourd is a special plant. The gourd itself is the outer shell that stores seeds. By hollowing out the inside, you can get dozens or even hundreds of seeds.

This purple gourd seed might be one of them.
