I started with five spiritual roots, and I maxed out my sideline

"You brought this upon yourself." Du Xiaoxiao smiled widely and signed a contract with the treasure-hunting rat.

Looking at the treasure-hunting rat that wanted to escape, Du Xiaoxiao ignored it.

Anyway, it’s your animal, it belongs to you wherever it goes.

She felt so happy that even the scorching hot weather in the desert made her feel much more comfortable.

When the treasure-hunting mouse learned that he had been contracted, he kept squeaking.

Oh no, Shushu is angry.

This was Du Xiaoxiao’s first reaction.

Then he thought, treasure-hunting mice like to chew on stones, I wonder if they like top-grade spirit stones?

Du Xiaoxiao took out a top-grade spirit stone from her storage bag and handed it to the treasure-hunting rat, wanting to see the little guy's attitude.

"Squeak?" The treasure-hunting mouse looked at Du Xiaoxiao, as if asking, can I really eat this? Aren't you heartbroken?

Du Xiaoxiao directly stuffed the top-grade spirit stone into the treasure-hunting rat's mouth and told it that it was really edible.

Seeing this, the treasure-hunting rat stopped hesitating and started chewing on it right in front of Du Xiaoxiao.

Du Xiaoxiao saw it eating happily and was thinking about what name to give it.

Name is Rat?

It doesn't seem to work either.

Let's just leave it at that. She just needs to think it's easy to remember.

The name of the treasure-hunting mouse was decided. Du Xiaoxiao looked at the little mouse with gray and white fur with loving eyes.

The treasure-hunting rat seemed to be frightened by Du Xiaoxiao's eyes. It was shaking with fear while holding the half-eaten top-grade spirit stone.

Du Xiaoxiao laughed so happily.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Du Xiaoxiao looked at it, hoping that it could communicate with her through spiritual consciousness.

"Squeak." The treasure-hunting mouse only made two sounds, and Du Xiaoxiao temporarily concluded that it was saying 'hmm'.

Du Xiaoxiao picked up the treasure-hunting rat in one hand and started on her way.

No one knows what is in this desert. This secret place appeared suddenly and is currently in the exploration stage.

Halfway through the walk, the treasure-hunting rat broke free from Du Xiaoxiao's arms and jumped down.

Digging in the sand like crazy.

In just a blink of an eye, Du Xiaoxiao disappeared from sight.

Du Xiaoxiao: ...

I was afraid that it wouldn't be able to find me, so I stood there and waited for it.

He even drew a few talismans on the spot, and then he saw the treasure-hunting rat coming back with a bulging mouth, several times bigger than before.

When it saw Du Xiaoxiao, it happily took out what was in its mouth.

After seeing what it was, Du Xiaoxiao was ecstatic.

It’s actually Dragon Rock!

Dragon Rock is formed by the flames spewed out by the dragon and the Wuji Ore melted after thousands of years of weathering. It is an extremely precious material for refining weapons.

This material is truly priceless.

Du Xiaoxiao was ecstatic. She exchanged two top-grade spirit stones for five dragon rock stones. She made a fortune!

He picked up the treasure-hunting mouse and gave it a few kisses.

The treasure-hunting mouse just screamed and resisted Du Xiaoxiao's approach.

Du Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty, so she bought a storage ring for the treasure-hunting rat from the system mall.

Just consider it as a greeting gift.

She is not partial. This is a pet she picked up. Unlike the little black ball, the little black ball forced itself into the contract.

This storage ring was made into a necklace and worn on the treasure-hunting mouse, allowing the treasure-hunting mouse to recognize its owner by dripping its own blood.

The treasure-hunting rat seemed to have discovered Du Xiaoxiao's intention and was spinning around excitedly on the ground.

It forced a drop of blood out of its body, and a red light flashed on the storage ring, indicating that the contract was concluded.

The treasure-hunting mouse has extra storage space.

You don't have to hold it in your mouth all the time.

Du Xiaoxiao looked at the storage ring on the treasure-hunting rat with satisfaction.

This way, it will be able to find food by itself in the future, or you can save some food for it yourself, so you don’t have to forget to feed it like Little Black Ball did.

Thinking of this, Du Xiaoxiao quickly took out the little black ball.

I don’t know how it is doing during the days I was in a coma.

Sure enough, as soon as I took it out, it wilted.

I wonder if it can wear a storage ring?

Should I save some medicine for it? Otherwise, it will always be hungry, which is not a good idea.

While Du Xiaoxiao was thinking about countermeasures, the little black ball began to weakly shout in her mind, "Mom, I'm hungry."

This hasn't changed at all.

Du Xiaoxiao thought in her heart.

Take out the pills and feed them to it. When it can eat by itself, give it a bottle of pills and let it gnaw on it.

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but the little black ball seems to have grown a little bigger. It was half the size of my palm before, but now it seems to be a little bigger.

Just don't starve to death.

Du Xiaoxiao thought so in her heart.

In just a moment, the treasure-hunting mouse had disappeared, and Du Xiaoxiao could only sit down and watch the little black ball eat.

The treasure-hunting mouse sat there until midnight and then came back.

When it came back, its mouth was still bulging, and it was obvious that there was still something it hadn't taken away from the place it had found.

The treasure-hunting rat poured out everything in the storage ring. When Du Xiaoxiao looked at the colorful minerals in front of her, she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

There are so many of them, they have piled up into a small hill.

I guess the treasure-hunting mouse came up to find her because there was not enough space?

Du Xiaoxiao could only help it put it away first. If she had known earlier, she would have tied a 500 square meter storage ring for it. A 100 square meter storage ring seemed not enough for it.

Du Xiaoxiao thought silently in her heart.

The treasure-hunting mouse seemed to know what she was thinking. Its eyes were shining brightly in the dark as if to say, do you really want to change it for me?

Du Xiaoxiao looked at its pair of expressive eyes and was silent for a moment.

Okay, she admitted that she was greedy and wanted to buy a bigger ring for the treasure-hunting mouse.

But its fat body could not accommodate a second one.

It would be a bit troublesome to change it.

As if it had seen through Du Xiaoxiao's idea that it was fat, the treasure-hunting mouse immediately took out the gem it had treasured for many years from its mouth.

His body immediately became half as thin as before.

Du Xiaoxiao: ...

"Okay, I'm just teasing you. I'll buy you a storage necklace." Storage rings are the cheapest. Storage necklaces, bracelets, and earrings do not have powerful storage functions and are expensive, so few people buy them.

Only some female cultivators would buy it for their beauty.

Du Xiaoxiao directly spent 300,000 to buy a storage necklace, which can change the tightness according to her body size.

It can be said that it is very suitable for treasure hunting mice.

When the treasure-hunting mouse saw Du Xiaoxiao holding a sparkling necklace for it, it was so happy.

After running wildly for a while, the treasure-hunting rat finally lay down beside Du Xiaoxiao, panting.

The whole day had passed in vain, and Du Xiaoxiao didn't want to travel at night.

All they could do was set up a formation on the spot, sprinkle some insect repellent powder, and stay there for one night.

In the desert at night, even with Du Xiaoxiao's Jindan cultivation level, she could still feel the biting cold wind.

She couldn't help but circulate her spiritual power to keep warm.

Even though she had chosen to settle on the back side of the sand dune, the wind was still freezing.
