Chapter 490: Chapter 491: New Pet
Dugu Xiaojin also discovered his own improvent.
He used to be able to communicate with beasts, but they were simple-minded and just born infants.
Like the Amber Spider in front of him, it is completely unfamiliar, yet Xiaojin is still able to communicate with it very well, thanks to last night’s Daming Mantra.
At this mont, Xiaojin only has a harmonious and tranquil aura about him, which irresistibly brings forth a sense of closeness in animals.
After discovering the subtlety within, Dugu Xiaojin felt even more grateful toward the Queen Mother.
Following last night, he not only condensed the Wenhua Seal but had also broken through to the Wenhua Fire Seal.
After “chatting” with the Amber Spider for a while, Dugu Xiaojin turned his head and spoke to Feng Bailing.
“Queen Mother, your child has clarified everything.”
From Dugu Xiaojin’s mouth, Feng Bailing and others like Ouyang Chenchen learned the origins of this Amber Spider.
Just as Mr. Nan Chen said, this Amber Spider did not originally live on this continent. It did not know its parents, only that it woke up from a piece of Heavenly Stone with a booming sound.
Once it beca conscious, it found itself within that piece of Heavenly Stone. When it felt hungry, it would try absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Power.
Because it lived near the Heavenly Stone mine, the Spiritual Power it could obtain was also those of Heavenly Irons.
Later on, sohow it was taken away by a group of people who transported it to Xiankelai at Chu City, where the Underworld Market then held that auction.
At the auction’s night, when it felt hungry as usual, it secretly absorbed so power from Heavenly Iron to fill its stomach, not expecting to be bought by Feng Bailing.
Feng Bailing suddenly realized, the Heavenly Stone flickering and glowing last night was this little one “eating.”
So, exactly how much Heavenly Iron did the little guy eat?
According to the Amber Spider itself, it had eaten a lot of Heavenly Iron whenever it felt hungry since it beca conscious.
A gleam ca into Feng Bailing’s eyes, staring at the Amber Spider so intently that it shuddered.
The Amber Spider, being an extraterrestrial creature, was much more perceptive than normal people. It knew the old man had released Spiritual Power, but there was so power within this beautiful-looking woman that was stirringly active, which it revered.
“Xiaojin, ask it if it ate so much Heavenly Iron, whether the Heavenly Iron is still in its stomach?”
Dugu Xiaojin asked the Amber Spider, and it hesitated before nodding its small head.
“Queen Mother, it says it can regurgitate them, but then it will be hungry. So you need to exchange so food with it. It doesn’t like to eat flying insects, preferring unique items like gems, gold, silver, or…”
“Stop right there, I don’t have any of those things. Even if I did, I wouldn’t give them to it to eat.”
Feng Bailing rolled her eyes—turns out this creature is a swallowing gold beast!
Dugu Xiaojin pondered for a mont.
“Queen Mother, it says there is a very fragrant scent from the box you carry with you, slls delicious.”
This thing can even sniff out contents from the ergency kit?
Inside Feng Bailing’s ergency kit, aside from common Western dicine, lay so recently harvested ginseng from Xinqi Village.
Originally, Feng Bailing planned to sell them at the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, but the appearance of the five-hundred-year-old Purple Ginseng last night made her change her mind.
Feng Bailing took out about a dozen ginseng roots from the first aid kit, all of them fifty to a hundred years old, excellent varieties obtained after multiple genetic seed modifications.
Seeing these ginsengs, the Amber Spider couldn’t help but salivate uncontrollably.
If it wasn’t out of necessity, who would want to eat sothing as hard and unyielding as Heavenly Iron, which turned it black from eating!
Feng Bailing, sowhat wincing, tossed the ginseng to the Amber Spider.
The Amber Spider, without being polite, stuffed a root of ginseng into its mouth, and with a few crunches, swallowed it down.
Its belly made a gurgling sound, and it spat out several mouthfuls of black mucus.
The black mucus quickly solidified; Mr. Nan Chen’s eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to pick up those black substances.
His face was full of amazent.
“It’s actually Heavenly Iron, Heavenly Iron without a trace of impurities. Girl, you’ve really struck it rich this ti.”
After the Amber Spider had absorbed the power of the Heavenly Iron, the Heavenly Iron re-ford in its stomach, becoming extrely pure and free of any impurities.
Although Mr. Nan Chen could also use the Fire Holy Seal to refine Heavenly Iron, the Heavenly Iron he refined always had so impurities mixed in, so the weapons he forged could only reach the level of mid-grade.
As for the weapons forged by Master Lu from the Underworld Market, they could only be low-grade, with even lower levels and more impurities.
Feng Bailing’s eyes shone as she stared at the Amber Spider, thinking that if it could purify Heavenly Iron… Her mind was racing.
She stopped being stingy and continued to feed the Amber Spider ginseng.
After the Amber Spider spit out Heavenly Iron continuously, totaling over twenty pounds, its body color started to change, from the original black to the brown-yellow of ginseng.
The color of the mucus it spat out also changed.
Feng Bailing quickly caught the liquid with a dicine bottle, and then gave it a sniff.
Her eyebrows imdiately relaxed. Good heavens, this Amber Spider was simply miraculous; the mucus it spat out turned out to be the purest ginseng liquid!
Feng Bailing harbored an even bolder idea inside her mind: the Amber Spider purified whatever it ate and could spit it out. If it was fed dicinal herbs, it could spit out dicine liquid. Then if it was fed poison, as long as it wasn’t poisoned, wouldn’t the toxicity of the poison liquid it spat out beco stronger?
Of course, this was just a bold hypothesis from Feng Bailing for the mont. Right now, she needed dicine liquid far more than she needed poison. As for poison, she decided to ponder over it slowly in the future.
“Xiaojin, tell it that from now on, it will follow us. If it follows us, it’ll get to eat and drink the best, and it won’t have to eat that nasty Heavenly Iron anymore.”
Dugu Xiaojin was still unaware of what her Queen Mother was planning, but he genuinely liked the Amber Spider, a simple and silly little creature. Hearing that it would be able to eat tasty ginseng every day, it imdiately beca so happy that it danced for joy.
“But, it’s a bit too conspicuous at that size, ask it if it can change back to its original size.”
Feng Bailing looked at the Amber Spider, the size of a fist. If this creature were to walk on the road, it would certainly scare quite a few people.
The Amber Spider’s body shrank, from the size of a fist to the size of sesa and mung beans, at which point if it were hidden on a person, it would hardly be noticed.
After having Xiaojin take the Amber Spider away first, Feng Bailing handed over all the Heavenly Iron to Nan Chen.
“Mr. Nan Chen, the purified Heavenly Iron spit out will be left to you. We need a batch of weapons for self-defense.”
Feng Bailing told Mr. Nan Chen her requirents.
The quantity of mucus that the Amber Spider spat out was not small, enough to craft a set of equipnt for herself and Xiaojin. As for Chenchen and Feng Luochen, they already had Heavenly Iron, so she didn’t need to worry about them.
