With a thud, the Lion-faced Arhat's stuffy gourd head hit the ground. The sorrowful expression on the stuffy gourd's face disrupted the spiritual resonance, causing Du Ke to realize his own thoughts.
"Take it, take as much as you can!"
"Take it all away!"
"Take away all the savings of this old cat of mine!"
Qian Sui glanced sideways at the stuffy gourd, thinking how stingy he still was after all these years.
If he didn't bring all these good things to cultivate spiritual resonance, it would have been fine since there was still the Tantan Temple to collect spiritual resonance from the pilgrims.
Besides, they were almost at that pass, so it didn't matter if their cultivation became lax.
But this guy, like a miser, left all these things here and would rather let them rot than take them out.
How did a Lion-faced Arhat lineage produce such a stingy stuffy gourd?
The previous Arhats were quite open-minded and didn't value material possessions at all.
This stuffy gourd was a special case, a miserly hoarder.
Du Ke couldn't help but blink at the sight of the Lion-faced Arhat's pitiful appearance. The child looked really pitiful.
But despite the pity, he still had to take what he could!
Du Ke excitedly cast his gaze towards the pile of miscellaneous items. In his fluctuating emotions, even the spiritual resonance changed.
This sudden change made the Lion-faced Arhat's tail twitch. Did this brat really intend to empty his place?
Just as he raised his head, the Lion-faced Arhat felt his heart skip a beat.
The Jade Xiao Flying Whip seemed to dive into the air like a diver, doing a 360-degree mid-air spin and diving straight into its precious possessions.
With a crash, the white cat dived into the pile of miscellaneous items.
Du Ke, who was diving into the items, began to pick out the things he liked.
Activate the Black Cauldron Space?
He hadn't considered this. The Black Cauldron Space had to be hidden, it couldn't be leaked.
Furthermore, even if Qian Sui and the Lion-faced Arhat weren't here, he wouldn't dare to use it recklessly. Unless he entered here without anyone knowing, he would dare to use it.
Be cautious and careful, and no major mistakes!
As for how to take these things away?
With Qian Sui around, there shouldn't be any problem asking this black cat to help him move, right?
Even if the black cat didn't help him move, he had been practicing martial arts up until now, so he still had some strength.
But what if the items disappeared after being used for alchemy?
Once the spiritual resonance was extracted from some strong items, most of them would crumble on the spot and turn into ashes.
As the saying goes: "The best things in the world are not durable, colorful clouds are fragile, and glass is brittle."
Currently, there were very few items in the outside world that contained strong spiritual resonance, both openly and secretly. It was because the previous generations of spiritual cats had already gathered most of them, and many immortal sects and clans would intentionally or unintentionally collect them.
Therefore, objects containing spiritual resonance were extremely rare in the world.
So most spiritual cats would find people to collect spiritual resonance for cultivation.
As for how Du Ke himself would cultivate, the white cat had already figured it out.
After returning to the Su family, he would first extract the spiritual resonance from the strong items in the Langya Palace, and by the way, ask the girl to see if there were any objects containing strong spiritual resonance in other places. If he found any, he would bring them all back to Langya Palace and extract the resonance.
After absorbing all these items, he would have the little girl find a group of poor low-level martial artists who would sell their pants to buy elixirs.
He would dilute a Blood Qi Pill and refine several dozen inferior Blood Qi Pills. He would give ten pills to each person, satisfying their desire for resources and collecting spiritual essence in return.
Being poor in knowledge but rich in martial arts was not just empty talk!
But these are all later matters. For now, let's see what good things are in this stuffy gourd and pick out some initial cultivation resources for oneself.
A tiger-head hat?
The spiritual essence is not too strong, but judging by the size, it should fit the little dog. The little dog has been a bit neglected these days, so it's suitable to give him this tiger-head hat. Take it away!
Red embroidered ball?
The spiritual essence is very strong. Take it away!
A rusty copper mirror?
The spiritual essence is very strong. Take it away!
A Lingzhi mushroom the size of a human head?
What a good thing! Even if the spiritual essence is not extracted, it can be used for alchemy. Take it away!
A brass ruyi scepter?
The spiritual essence is very strong, and it seems to have other wonderful uses. Take it away!
A short sword in its scabbard?
The spiritual essence is strong, and it has abundant sword qi. It's a pity to extract the spiritual essence, but coincidentally, there was a plan to refine weapons into pills before. Take it away for experimentation!
Oh, there's also a set of yellow rosewood cabinets here. Although the spiritual essence is not strong, it can be used to store things. Take it away!
As Qian Sui and Lion-faced Arhat watched Du ke pick out the items he had chosen from the pile of junk and throw them outside on the open space, Stuffy Gourd couldn't help but feel heartache. How did he end up with such a little bastard?
Qian Sui's mouth twitched. This brat really dared to act out. This time, Stuffy Gourd couldn't let him go without shedding blood.
However, Qian Sui felt content watching this scene.
He was someone who wouldn't suffer losses and would not be deceived by others in the future.
Very well, keep moving!
Du ke emerged from the pile of junk, standing upright with both claws holding the yellow rosewood cabinet he had found, and placed it in front of Qian Sui.
Thud!
After placing the yellow rosewood cabinet on the ground, it made a muffled sound, causing Stuffy Gourd and Qian Sui to jump. This brat had quite a bit of strength!
At the same time, Du ke shook his paws.
The cabinet could be moved, but the cat's joints were not as flexible as a human's, so it was a bit strenuous.
After placing the cabinet properly, Du ke stuffed all the items he had picked out into it. This scene made Lion-faced Arhat, Stuffy Gourd, bite its own tail in its mouth.
When will this little bastard stop?
My heart...
It hurts, it hurts too much!
Lion-faced Arhat, biting its tail, saw Du ke dive back into the pile of junk. Its heart was already in pain like being struck by a knife.
No, this can't go on.
If this continues, this little cat brat will empty out all of my possessions.
Thinking this, Stuffy Gourd let go of its tail in its mouth and rushed toward Du ke, biting his tail and dragging him out.
While dragging Du ke, Lion-faced Arhat used its tail to beat the ground, disturbing the spiritual essence as a substitute for speaking.
Enough, enough, you've taken a lot, stop it!
"One last item, one last item!"
Du Ke was being dragged backward by the Lion-faced Arhat, to the point where his hind legs were dangling in the air. However, with his strong front limbs, he managed to grab hold of the ground and burrow back into the pile of debris.
Buried within the debris, Du Ke did his best to pick up everything he could see with his claws and fling them away.
As he listened to the sound of these objects hitting the ground, tears welled up in the Lion-faced Arhat's eyes, and he pulled harder on Du Ke's tail.
"That's enough, that's enough! You've taken enough!"
The white cat was dragged out by the Lion-faced Arhat, and Du Ke took a deep breath and dove into the pile of debris for the second time. However, this time he had just managed to grab hold of a shield the size of a child's chest, and the Lion-faced Arhat pulled him out again.
Don't be too greedy!
"I have a big appetite!"
It's getting late, you need to rest!
"I'm a night owl, it's fine!"
It's dark and slippery outside, go home early!
"I have Qian Sui with me, I'm not afraid!"
You may not be afraid, but I am. Stop it, brat. There are plenty of spiritual treasures out there, no need to keep staring at me like that.
"This is the last item, really the last one!!"
As the two cats struggled with each other, the Lion-faced Arhat finally pulled Du Ke out of the pile of debris.
Relieved, the Lion-faced Arhat couldn't help but marvel at the strength of this kitten. Without using any supernatural powers or spiritual body control, he couldn't restrain him.
Just as he was about to hold Du Ke down to prevent him from taking advantage, he glanced up and his breath caught in his throat.
This little brat had a lamp in his mouth and a shield in his arms, with four or five other things piled up on the shield.
He wouldn't stop until he emptied his entire home!
Who raised such a little brat?
Du Ke and Qian Sui, who were behind the stuffy gourd, saw this scene, and a beautiful smile curved their lips, with a hint of joy in their eyes.
This scene truly warmed her heart!
She had seen the playful scenes among the many spirit cats from different lineages when she was born, but looking at them now, only one spirit cat remained in each of the four lineages, as for the previous generations... sigh!
At this moment, the Lion-faced Arhat also protected his belongings behind him and kept a vigilant eye on Du Ke.
He could tell that this white cat's heart was darker than the Moon Shadow Black Eyes Golden Tiger, and his thieving nature was even stronger than the Four-eared Brocade Thief.
If it weren't for the limitations of the spiritual mechanism of this world, the spirit cats wouldn't easily produce hybrids. He truly suspected that this white cat had the bloodline of the Four-eared Brocade Thief.
Seeing the Lion-faced Arhat being so protective of his belongings, Du Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes. Look at how stingy you are!
However, he had gained quite a lot today!
Sorting through so many things, the extracted spiritual essence was enough for his first step in cultivation.
With that in mind, Du Ke dropped the lamp from his mouth onto the shield, stood up on his hind legs, and with both paws, he lifted the cabinet from the bottom and hoisted it up.
Although he had not yet reached the level of Root Bone Realm, with his cultivation of the Water and Fire Immortal Robe, his vigorous qi and blood, and the nourishment of the essence of the sun and moon, he could easily lift hundreds of kilograms with ease.
However, Qian Sui and the Lion-faced Arhat were dumbfounded. The cultivation of the Spirit Cat emphasized spiritual charm rather than physical strength. In battles, they relied on their own spiritual charm and innate supernatural abilities.
If caught off guard at close range, there was a high probability of suffering a defeat.
But now, Du ke had completely shattered their understanding. This little cat's physical body seemed to be even stronger than that of a tiger or leopard!
Qian Sui and the Lion-faced Arhat exchanged glances, and the Lion-faced Arhat used his hidden spiritual charm to bypass Du ke and directly communicate with Qian Sui.
Is this the cub you told me about, the one who took the wrong path and went astray?
With all these things combined, it weighs five to six hundred kilograms. Can you lift it without relying on your spiritual charm and supernatural abilities?
If the two of us were to face him, if we accidentally let him get close, without having the chance to use our innate supernatural abilities and spiritual charm, he could crush the two of us on the spot.
Did you say this cub went astray?
He actually wants to venture onto such a path!
