Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 1127

Chapter 1127 Looting

The fat pill boy had to obey Su Ping’s instruction and look for his pill partners once he noticed that his senior sister had agreed.

Su Ping, on the other hand, released his small world and collected the Ascendant State treasures lying on the ground; a large area was soon cleared.

“Miss Pan, please show me around and tell me about the precious items stored here,” said Su Ping with a smile.

Golden Lotus looked around at the Ascendant treasures around her, finding that dozens of them were missing. She suddenly thought that Su Ping had misunderstood her when she said “something.” “There’s indeed something that might be of use to you.” Golden Lotus didn’t disagree; those weren’t her belongings anyway. She then said to Su Ping, “Follow me.”

She then floated out of the gourd like a wisp of smoke. She was tall and beautiful.

Su Ping nodded, and casually placed the golden gourd in his small world too.

Golden Lotus’s lips twitched. She then led Su Ping onward to another room next to the ancient palace, where a sundry of Ascendant treasures were stacked; there were weapons, paintings and even brushes. All of them were secret treasures.

Two silver gourds were hanging on a wall.

Golden Lotus waved her hand and summoned the two tiny gourds. “These gourds contain the pure blood of dragons and phoenixes the palace owner collected. One drop of phoenix blood can bring the dead back to life, and one drop of dragon blood can make you an immortal…”

She glanced at Su Ping and added, “He collected the blood to improve his physical build after his rebirth. If the two blood types are used, it’s possible to develop the legendary Dragon Phoenix Constitution, which may likely turn him into a Deity Emperor which would enable him to dominate the world!”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows and asked, “The blood must be very precious for you too, right?”

Golden Lotus gave him a slight head shake and replied, “We pills aren’t made of flesh and blood; some rare materials aren’t really useful to us. Many of the unparalleled pills require ordinary grass as catalysts. The herbalist profession would be worthless if you could make a precious pill by simply cooking rare materials in the same pot!”

Su Ping realized why she wasn’t reluctant to give away the gourds. “Thank you.” Su Ping accepted the silver gourds, which were protected by weak laws; he erased the protections and opened them with ease, instantly smelling a strange blood scent, which was as sweet as candy.

Su Ping’s eyes glittered. He didn’t consume the blood directly; after all, he wasn’t in a cultivation site and he had to be cautious.

He summoned the Little Skeleton. In terms of sturdiness, it was even tougher than him!

Su Ping poured out a drop of blood and asked his pet to consume it.

Even though the things that the Little Skeleton placed in its mouth might slip out, it only happened when it didn’t want the food; it would refine the food with energy when willing A drop of pure dragon blood was then digested by the Little Skeleton. Su Ping was soon able to detect aura changes on his pet. Dragon scales and bones were growing on the back of its hands!

“What a waste!”

Golden Lotus couldn’t help but frown seeing what Su Ping had done.

She knew that the latter had done that because he didn’t trust her; still, testing out dragon blood on a beast was downright wasteful.

“No, it’s not. Whether my pet consumes the blood or I do makes no difference,” said Su Ping with a smile.

“But it’s just a beast anyway,” said Golden Lotus.

Su Ping was stunned by the answer; he looked her in the eye and said softly, “You’re pills, but I regard you as human beings, don’t I? It may be a beast, but so what? Even if it were just grass, I’d gladly give it everything if it’s a sentient partner of mine.” Golden Lotus felt dazed; she looked at Su Ping in the eye, and knew that he wasn’t lying.

This human… really regards us as his own kind?

Su Ping ignored Golden Lotus and sent the Little Skeleton back to the pet space. He shook the gourds and felt that they were half full; he instantly had a mouthful.

Su Ping then felt that a stream of fiery energy surged into his body, as if having drunk a mouthful of magma. He heard furious, stubborn and scary dragon roars inside his head, as if the dragon would have been trapped in a deep well and was struggling to break free.

He then felt that his body was bulging, as if about to explode.

The power permeated his limbs and concentrated in his heart. Su Ping suddenly had the feeling he had been tied up by an invisible dragon, which was about to nibble at his heart and claim his body for itself!

Coldness burst out of Su Ping’s eyes. Right when he was about to suppress the intruderthe brightest power was swept out of the depths of his blood and absorbed the burning heat suffusing his body. Then, the Golden Crow shrieked.

The Golden Crow illusion surfaced behind Su Ping’s back and emitted hot waves that shocked Golden Lotus.

Seeing the Golden Crow shocked her.

The crow seemed to have pecked at something and swallowed it. It then became even brighter, entering Su Ping’s body through his head.

Su Ping felt that the scorching heat felt all over his body was gone; he couldn’t have felt more comfortable. Meanwhile, he felt that his Golden Crow bloodline seemed to have been strengthened yet again; it was slightly different than before.

Still, it wasn’t the time nor the place to run tests; he left the matter at that. He opened his eyes and looked at the remaining dragon blood; he then sealed the gourd, as he was planning to feed it to the Inferno Dragon and his other pets.

As for the phoenix blood, he wasn’t in a rush to consume it; he stowed it for the moment.

If I can get out of this place alive, I’m sure these two treasures will very likely improve my combat ability! Su Ping thought.

But that was on the premise that he could get out of that place alive.

“Are there other treasures here?” Su Ping asked Golden Lotus.

She had already recovered from her stupor. “Yes. There’s an Ocean God Pill which can improve your soul and willpower. It gained wisdom a long time ago, but its wisdom was later erased because it was too wicked. The pill’s effectiveness was halved, but it’s perfect for you at your current level.” “Okay.”

Su Ping nodded.

Su Ping asked her to wait a moment just as she made to leave. He then raised his hand and collected all the treasures in the room, which he sent into his small world.

Golden Lotus was stunned for a long time, before she finally asked, “You’re not going to empty this place, are you?”

Su Ping asked back in surprise, “Why not?”

Golden Lotus: “…”

“We’re going to leave anyway. Our enemy will use the treasures eventually if we leave them here, right?” said Su Ping.

Golden Lotus was lost for words. She secretly heaved a sigh; it was true that every creature was greedy. There were no exceptions. Still, she didn’t comment on it; she could tolerate anything as long as she could leave this place.

They soon left the palace and moved forward. Su Ping picked up all the items he found along the way. He constructed metal objects virtually identical to the treasures he picked, placing them right where the originals had been, so that the Ghost Lamp Nether Fish wouldn’t notice anything amiss when it swam over. As to whether or not it would be tricked, Su Ping had no time to consider that yet.

Golden Lotus had already become numb about Su Ping’s looting; she simply led Su Ping onward.

Soon enough, more than half of the ancient palace was emptied, but it was filled up again by the metal counterfeits he forged.

Constructing substances with laws was an easy task for any Star Lord.

“Has this place been robbed?” The fat kid was shocked when he arrived with plenty of other pills.

Su Ping looked at the assorted pills behind the boy. They were of different genders, heights and weights; some of them even looked like old men, but they all emitted pill auras.

“All right; don’t make too much noise. Come over here,” Golden Lotus interrupted the other pills as they pointed at and whispered about Su Ping. They currently needed Su Ping’s help to escape from that place; she didn’t want them to piss him off. She created a storage space, and asked all of them to hop in.

Those pills seemed to trust Golden Lotus wholeheartedly. They didn’t suspect her at all, so they jumped into the storage space, one after the other.

Golden Lotus waved at the fat kid, and stuffed him into the storage space too, despite his resistance.

“Let’s go. Be careful,” said Golden Lotus in a low voice.

Su Ping nodded. He concealed his aura with the law of illusion, and almost made himself undetectable.

Golden Lotus glanced at Su Ping again with astonishment in her eyes. Had she not seen him just then, she wouldn’t have known that he was there. Even though her abilities had been sealed, she still had her keen senses.

No wonder the hideous fish didn’t notice him… Golden Lotus thought.
