Chapter 227 The Best-Tasting Mini Bread in the World!

"Alright, old turtle, I'll do as you say! You're right, my lifespan is indeed more than 30,000 years; I'm a true 100,000-year-old soul beast!"

The golden tortoiseshell spoke with immense pride and arrogance, but its next words were filled with sorrow and grief:

"But—because of my own greed, I have been tormented by that damned Life Gold you mentioned. My life force and cultivation have been drained to this extent. Every day I can only watch helplessly as my life force grows stronger and stronger and my body withers away, and I can only lament alone."

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

Beside him, Gu Long raised an eyebrow. Although he didn't know what the Gold of Life was, he understood why Ning Wuque had been shaking his head and saying he wouldn't exchange it.

To be able to absorb a 100,000-year-old golden tortoise shell down to only 30,000 years, this treasure is incredible! And judging from Ning Wuque's expression, he clearly knows its true purpose.

At the same time, if this golden tortoise shell really has a cultivation level of 100,000 years, even though it was drained and regressed, the soul ring it produces may still be at the 100,000-year level. It's just uncertain whether it can produce a soul bone.

If Zhang Can wanted to absorb this spirit ring, he would definitely have to go through a life-or-death ordeal. No wonder Ning Wuque didn't choose to kill this golden hawksbill turtle, but instead wanted it to become a legendary spirit.

"Greedy~~Turtle~Greedy~~Ghost~Hehe~"

"Hmph, I'm an old turtle, I'm not going to bother with a guy who's only 50,000 years old."

Turning its head away, the golden tortoiseshell, embarrassed by what Xiao Shi had said, remained silent, its entire beast costume resembling a turtle hiding in its shell.

In response, Ning Wuque first stroked the soft tentacles of the little dog before proceeding to discuss the conditions:

"By the way, tell me the location of those two hawksbill turtles."

"Why? You humans are so cruel, do you really want this old turtle to be a traitor who sells out his master for personal gain?"

Hearing Ning Wuque's words, the golden tortoise was momentarily confused. It had already agreed to become a spirit, so why would it sell its own kind? If he wasn't willing, his spirit rings weren't something just anyone could absorb.

Judging from Ning Wuque’s address to the person who was about to become his soul spirit, it was probably an old man who had achieved a title at a very advanced age. It would be considered extremely lucky if he was not overwhelmed by its soul ring!

"Speak quickly! If you won't offer a sacrifice to my grandfather, there are plenty of turtles to offer as sacrifices. I could even sell you to the Xuanming Sect. Anyway, they can only hand over the life essence within you; they can't use a single bit of it!"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk, alright? Seriously, why are you so angry? You're such a scaredy-cat."

When the golden hawksbill turtle saw that Ning Wuque was serious, it stopped being stubborn and immediately revealed the location of the two golden hawksbill turtles.

One is located in a shallow sea area in the far south, and the other is in a mountain cave in the Mingdou Mountains. Both are female members of its kind that it encountered when it was young and wandering around.

However, at that time, one of them had lived for 140,000 years and the other for only 30,000 years, so they looked down on the golden tortoiseshell, which was only approaching 100,000 years old.

On the other side, Ning Wuque wrote it down with pen and paper before nodding in satisfaction. Very good, now he could taste what the Xuanwu Divine Pill really tasted like.

Ning Wuque's martial soul has now been elevated to the level of innate full soul power, and his meridians have been expanded to the limit by the immortal grade, so naturally he has no need for that Xuanwu Divine Pill.

But he just wanted to taste what it was like.

"Alright, you'll be preparing for the sacrifice in a few days."

After leaving behind these words, Gu Long understood Ning Wuque's meaning. With a wave of his hand, he teleported back to the scene, and the two people and the beast returned to everyone's sight.

As soon as he returned to his original spot, Ning Wuque handed the paper and pen in his hand to Ning Fengxiao, who was standing not far away, and instructed him:

"Father-in-law, the items are here. I'd appreciate it if you could help me with the rest. I'd like to try the Xuanwu Divine Pill and see what it tastes like."

"I know, your father-in-law got me one when I was young, and it did taste quite good."

Yu Yeming smacked her lips as she spoke, seemingly savoring some flavor. Whether it was the taste of the Xuanwu Divine Pill or her feelings for Ning Fengxiao back then was hard to say.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Fengxiao nodded slightly to Ning Wuque:

"Well, leave the rest to me. Senior Xu, would you mind joining us for a chat? Feng Xiao has some excellent Swan Tea, which is said to be a special supply from the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family thousands of years ago."

"Really? Then I'll have to have a good taste, please?"

"please."

Xu Xuanzhi smiled and stroked his beard, then together with Ning Fengxiao, they led the majority of the group towards the sect's main peak.

Soon, only Zhang Can, Ning Wuque, Gu Long, and the Golden Tortoise remained on the spot.

Ning Wuque took a few steps to his grandfather's side, took his left hand and looked at him, then flipped his right hand and took out a jade box. This was a celestial item that he had specially selected for Zhang Can at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before coming here today:

"Grandpa, this is a rare and precious plant called Longevity Armor Golden Reishing Fruit. If you eat it, you might be able to break through to level ninety. I have already persuaded this golden hawksbill turtle to offer itself as a sacrifice for you. I will tell you more about it later."

"I—I—"

Zhang Can accepted the jade box from Ning Wuque and fell into silence. To be honest, he had never been so shocked in his life.

First, the sect leader summoned him to see the ninth spirit ring that Ning Wuque had prepared for him. He was delighted because he had already accepted the gratitude he owed to his adopted grandson.

However—everything that had just happened was refreshing the old man's understanding, and the immortal item in his hand made him realize just how generous? How heavy was Ning Wuque's gratitude towards him?

He didn't know, he didn't know how to describe it, and even hesitated a little.

"How about leaving them to my future great-grandson? I'm old, Wuque, I'm old. A single ordinary ninth spirit ring, plus the pills from the Xuanming Sect, is enough for me to live long enough to watch my great-grandson grow up."

As he spoke, Zhang Can handed the jade box back to Ning Wuque. Having consumed so many potent medicines to nourish his body, he was confident that he could still prolong his life with a longevity pill. There was no need to waste a celestial herb.

What if Ning Wuque, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng's children could use it? There's no need to give it to an old man who's lost all his potential.

"grandfather!"

Seeing Zhang Can's hesitation, even though Ning Wuque could roughly tell what the other was thinking, he couldn't help but harden his stance. To him, Zhang Can was not only a benefactor, but also family!

He stuffed the jade box into Zhang Can's arms and said bluntly:

"Grandpa, without you, Wuque might not have achieved what he has today! Please don't refuse anymore. This Longevity Armor Golden Retriever can only be preserved for seven days after it's picked. If you don't eat it, I'd rather throw it away than give it to anyone else!"

"Alright, alright! I'll eat it, I'll eat it, okay? Honestly, you child—"

Zhang Can reached out, putting the jade box into his storage soul tool while taking out a piece of bread from a wooden box and handing it to Ning Wuque:

"I heard from the sect leader that you were coming back, so I prepared this for you."

It's the best-tasting bread in the world!
