Xue Jichang's face flushed red and then turned white.

He really looked like he was going to leave in anger, but thinking about his enemy Gui Wuchang and the people and things he had to protect, Xue Jichang endured it a few times.

"Alright, I agree."

Xue Jichang gritted his teeth and agreed, "I, the Poison Emperor Xue Jichang, swear under the witness of the heavens that as long as Young Noble Su can cure my poison, I will agree to serve him for ten years. During this period of time, I will not disobey Young Noble Su's orders, otherwise my soul will be turned into ashes and I will not be reincarnated."

After Xue Jichang swore his oath, a ray of light appeared in the sky and landed on Xue Jichang's body, although it was only for a short three to five seconds.

Su Qin then made a vow, "I, Su Qin, swear under the witness of the heavens ?" After the oath was completed, another ray of light, which was sent to attract attention, descended onto Su Qin's body.

After the two of them completed the oath, Su Qin was completely safe. He bowed to Xue Jichang and said, "Old Xue has offended you, junior was forced to do so and had no choice but to bear the hardships, Old Xue please do not be angry, it hurts my body, there is no need to be angry for junior."

"Hmph!"

Xue Jichang coldly snorted as a response.

Although he understood what Su Qin was trying to do, he could not take it lying down because he was tricked by a little kid.

Su Qin understood that it would not be easy to remove the barrier separating the Poison Emperor Xue Jichang in a short period of time, so he could only try his best to move Xue Jichang.

In less than a month, Su Qin had turned from a person calling him young master trash to a young master in the spirit master realm. Even in the Su Family, he was still considered a strong warrior.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Su Qin's waist shook.

A mouse brain little fellow stuck its head out and looked left and right. It looked at everything with a curious baby look.

After the spirit-eating rat made the contract with Su Qin, it had been in a deep sleep the entire time. Knowing that Su Qin had broken through to the Spiritual Master Realm and that the spirit-eating rat had also awakened from its slumber, Su Qin had something to do with it waking up so quickly.

The spirit-eating rat was Su Qin's contracted beast, and they were both living contracted beasts. The spirit-eating rat had absorbed Su Qin's spirit energy to speed up the recovery of his body, so it woke up even faster from its slumber.

"Little guy, you're awake."

Su Qin rubbed the purple spirit-eating rat's head. The spirit-eating rat closed its eyes with a satisfied expression.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The spirit-eating rat called out to Su Qin.

"Big brother!" The voice of the spirit-eating rat surfaced in Su Qin's mind. He could understand what the spirit-eating rat was saying, this way he could communicate with it in the future. This was one of the many benefits of the contract.

Poison Emperor Xue Jichang recognized the little fellow at a glance.

A spirit-eating rat. This kind of ancient beast is a rare occurrence in a thousand years. I never thought young master would be so fortunate as to make a contract with a spirit-eating rat. He truly is a favored child of heaven and earth.

It was a pity that his hot poison had flared up and his power had been greatly weakened. His previous enemies had all come knocking one after another, and this time, the Human-Faced Spider had escaped and died miserably at the hands of its enemy in order to cover him.

Xue Jichang had an idea. When he saw that young master Su Qin had contracted a beast, he was even more determined to tell young master Su Qing about the news. The heavens were helping them.

The spirit-eating rat also had a name, "Treasure Seeking Mouse".

It was naturally extremely sensitive to things that carried spirit energy. Carrying a spirit-eating rat beside it was no less than bringing a mobile treasure trove.

"Young master Su, there's one thing that makes me unhappy if I don't spit it out."

Xue Jichang continued to speak: "This time, I had wanted to look for Undead Herba to suppress the heat poison in my body, but unfortunately, this old man is not good at treasure hunting, so I wandered around half of the mountain but didn't find the legendary Undead Herba. In the end, I was bullied by a few jackals at the border."

"spirit-eating rat s are very sensitive to spirit objects. I hope young master Su doesn't bury the natural skill of spirit-eating rat."

Su Qin secretly exclaimed, why is it that no one told me that the spirit-eating rat has the ability to search for treasures?

The 3000 Mile Desolate Mountain had no shortage of heavenly materials or treasures. With a foundation of thousands or tens of thousands of years, no one knew what heavenly materials or earthly treasures existed in the Desolate Mountain.

He had heard of Undead Herba as well.

It was a level five elixir, it was said that eating a Undead Herba can extend one's life by one sixty years, that is to say, sixty years. However, for those who had deep roots, they would not consume the Undead Herba directly, but use it to concoct Longevity Pills.

Undead Herba were also one of the main ingredients for the Life Extending Pill. A pot of Life Extending Pill had at least three to five, and after being refined with the pill, one Life Extending Pill could extend one's life by more than a hundred years, which was much better than taking the Undead Herba directly.

"Old Xue's meaning is for me to bring mice to search for Undead Herba, but I'm too clear on the mouse's abilities, it can only sense spirits that are less than a thousand meters away. The desolate mountain is too big, finding Undead Herba is no doubt as difficult as ascending to the heavens."

If Su Qin was not moved, that was a lie, this was a Undead Herba, if news of this spread, the entire Da Qi Kingdom's Wealthy Class would send people to look for it, there might be people from other kingdoms who would come to look for it too.

"Even if it's not, it's not. This old man received news that someone on the Bund discovered the profound bird, if this old man isn't mistaken, the Undead Herba is right near the Bund." This news was something that Xue Jichang had spent a lot to obtain from the mouth of an adventurer.

The Mystic Bird is also called the Firebird. It is said to be the descendant of the Flamephoenix and the Vermillion Bird.

According to legends, in the ancient times, where the fire phoenixes resided, they were covered with Undead Herba. Even in the era where many treasures could become deities with a single breath, Undead Herba had already bloomed with Immortality Flowers.

Only the body of the Mystic Bird could be used as a carrier for the Undead Herba to grow safely. If someone saw the Mystic Bird, they would see that there was one or two Mystic Birds on the Bund.

February 15th

East forest barren hill was eight hundred miles deep, and other than a few tall hills, there was nothing else in the Matsu Plains.

No one knew who spread the news about the Undead Herba, but recently there were always people loitering near the Bund. Even more adventurers went deep into the mountains to search for the Undead Herba, the majority of them being from the Wealthy Class or Prominent Class of the Da Qi Kingdom.

There were eight great bandit groups in East forest barren hill, and they were living off of the employment groups that were going in and out of the barren mountains. With such a huge incident on the Bund, it had already attracted the attention of the eight great bandit groups.

"Eunuch, what attitude do you two have towards each other? Why don't you tell us?"

"The people outside are saying that the Undead Herba are at the Bund on the flat land, and this is your couple's territory. Don't tell me you want to take it for yourselves?"

The flying bandit Zhang Ba said as he swung his fat body.

Flying Great Thief Zhang Ba had killed dozens of his teacher and family's people twenty-three years ago. When he was being chased by the officials, he had killed hundreds of army officers.

"Zhang Ba, you don't need to cause trouble, Undead Herba s are not something that we are interested in, if you want, go to the Bund to look for them, but let me warn you, if you dare to recklessly kill the cultivators of our couple's territory, we will definitely not let this matter rest." The emperor was not good at communication, so it was his wife who always came forward for such matters.

The Bund belongs to the Sky Master, Earth Matriarch couple's territory. Anyone that enters would have to pay a protection fee, the so-called person had the money to get rid of the calamity, Sky Master, the Earth Matriarch definitely wouldn't allow Zhang Ba to kill any innocent people in his territory.
