Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Dragon Marrow Fruit

Shi Hao and Shi Feng did not pay attention to the rat, as they roamed inside the Golden Dragon, trying to find valuable treasures.

They squeezed into a crack made by the Corpse-Eating Insects, Shi Hao had the Infinite Seed Technique, while Shi Feng had reached the Heaven Ascension Road, enabling him to elementalize his body. His entire body turned into rolling magma in a short time, flowing through the cracks without having to worry about their size.

Unexpectedly, the rat also followed them in.

"Hey, what are you guys looking for?" The rat didn’t seem worried about the possibility of becoming roasted meat and followed right behind Shi Hao and Shi Feng.

Its small size made squeezing through the cracks an easy task.

"Seasoning, we could stew you with our meal to enhance the flavor," Shi Hao said nonchalantly.

"My little arms and legs, how much meat can they have?" The rat wasn’t afraid at all, leaped boldly, and landed on Shi Hao’s shoulder, "Kid, I see your extraordinary foundation, why not worship me as your master? I’ll teach you a few moves, and you’ll make a fortune."

Smack!

The consequence of being too full of oneself was getting slapped by Shi Hao and smeared against the wall.

There was no helping it; it was merely at the Soul Nurturing realm.

However, its physique really was tough. The slap didn’t affect it at all.

One could only say that the heart blood of a Celestial Dragon really was a treasure. Having soaked in it for a long time, its body’s strength had reached an unimaginable level.

This was truly enviable. Why even practice the Tyrant Body Technique or Infinite Life Technique, when a mere soak in Immortal Blood vastly surpassed them?

Of course, Shi Hao didn’t think that way. The soak in Dragon Blood was a one-time deal, while the Tyrant Body Technique and Infinite Life Technique were continuous and grew as his realm increased.

Of course, if there were Immortal Blood for him to soak in, he certainly wouldn’t mind.

"Kid, I was extremely powerful in the past, countless strong beings wished to become my disciples, yet you still refused me. You will definitely regret this later," the rat said indignantly.

"Oh, your past?" Shi Hao turned around, staring at the rat.

The rat was stunned and scratched its head with its short paws, "Yes, even though I clearly don’t remember the past, why do I have such an impression?"

It was hard to tell which of its words were true and which were false.

Shi Hao closely examined the rat. At first glance, it seemed no different from an ordinary rat, but it had two distinct strands of hair on its head—one purple and one golden—plus a hint of glow in its fur, which made it look particularly spirited.

But it was better for this guy to stay silent; as soon as it spoke, it was nothing but a scoundrel.

Regardless of whether this guy was pretending to be dejected, being able to enter the heart of a Golden Dragon Corpse and soak in its heart blood meant that its "previous life" must have been very strong.

But it might not necessarily be its previous life; perhaps it was once powerful, but to enter the Golden Dragon Corpse, it had expended too much strength and even eroded its Life Origin, thus needing the Immortal Blood to be reborn.

Thus, its life’s flame was like it was freshly kindled.

Shi Hao decided to call this rat the Purple Gold Rat, as the characteristics of its fur were quite distinct.

Meanwhile, Shi Feng focused on his search, and suddenly, his face lit up with joy.

"I’ve found the Dragon Bone!" he exclaimed.

What did the Dragon Bone signify?

Dragon Marrow!

Just like the heart blood, the Dragon Marrow was an extremely precious treasure that could transform an ordinary person completely. Of course, in terms of value, the heart blood definitely ranked first; this was indisputable.

However, the smile on Shi Feng’s face disappeared immediately.

Because when he struck with his palm, the Dragon Bone shattered.

When had dragon bones become so fragile?

You know that the flesh and skin of a Golden Dragon is like Immortal Gold, virtually indestructible. So why would the bones, which should be the hardest part, be so fragile?

"The marrow has been sucked out, so the bones were the first to degenerate," the Purple Gold Rat said on the side, with a tone full of old sagacity.

Shi Feng completely cracked open the dragon bone and found, just as it had said, that there wasn’t a trace of marrow inside.

Shi Hao immediately picked up the Purple Gold Rat: "You know so much about this, could it be that you ate it?"

The Purple Gold Rat immediately showed a face full of shame and anger, and said, "How dare you insult me so? Yes, it was indeed your grandfather who ate it, what can you do about it?"

Shi Hao and Shi Feng looked at each other, both shocked.

This creature had eaten the Dragon Marrow and soaked in the heart blood of the Golden Dragon for countless years, absorbing all the essence of the Immortal Blood. How terrifying was this innate advantage?

Thus, this creature hadn’t even been "born" yet, but had already reached the Soul Nurturing realm.

This really was improving cultivation while lying down.

Alas, people in the world struggle hard to cultivate, yet many spend their lives unable to cross the Breaking the Extreme threshold, but this one had stepped into the Soul Nurturing realm while still in the "womb."

There’s no such thing as fairness in the world, some people haven’t even been born yet, and their starting line has already far surpassed what most people can reach in their lifetime.

"Hehe, then let’s cut off one of your big legs and try it!" Shi Hao rolled up his sleeves.

The Purple Gold Rat quickly put on an ingratiating face and said, "Although I ate most of the Dragon Marrow, there’s still a part that was absorbed by a seed of Spiritual Medicine, which should have already blossomed and borne fruit by now."

Shi Hao was skeptical: "With your character, knowing there’s such a treasure, you would leave it behind?"

"Nonsense!" The Purple Gold Rat immediately showed a face full of indignation. "Isn’t it because of those damn insects? The place is full of them. If grandfather had recklessly moved, I would have been eaten by those damn insects long ago!"

All creatures have their natural predators, it inherited the Golden Dragon’s strong defenses, but against the razor-sharp teeth of the Corpse-Eating Insects, it could only be helplessly penetrated.

Keep in mind, its true strength was merely at the Soul Nurturing realm.

Shi Hao snorted, "Just as I thought. You’re telling us this because you want us to take you there, and maybe you’ll take the chance to steal that Spiritual Medicine!"

Damn, were you able to see through that?

The Purple Gold Rat showed a face of grief and indignation: "Am I that kind of person?"

"You certainly aren’t that kind of person, but you are that kind of rat!"

The Purple Gold Rat immediately hid its grief and instead chuckled, saying: "Kid, you’re not very old, but your eyes are deadly sharp!"

"Let’s go."

Shi Feng immediately said; they couldn’t possibly eat this old rat, so they had to settle for the next best thing, gathering a stalk of Spiritual Medicine wasn’t bad either.

Shi Hao put the Purple Gold Rat back on his shoulder and said, "Lead the way."

The Purple Gold Rat took charge of leading the way, Shi Hao and Shi Feng advanced, and indeed, there were many Corpse-Eating Insects along the way, but all were easily annihilated by Shi Feng.

After a long time, they finally saw that stalk of Spiritual Medicine.

It was not even a foot tall, bearing seven fruits that were milky white, and from afar, emitted a refreshing fragrance.

"Spirit Fruit grown from absorbing Dragon Marrow, can be called Dragon Marrow Fruit," Shi Hao said.

"Mm," Shi Feng nodded.

Swoosh, at that moment, the rat made its move, suddenly bursting forth at an astonishing speed, darting towards that stalk of spiritual plant.
