Returning from the Book Pavilion, Jiang Hao felt puzzled. At this point, I hope the readers remember our domain name.
He had searched through many books, but could only find brief descriptions of the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison, with no mention of its origins.
As for the Yin Gu, it indeed resembled the Yang Gu.
That woman, apart from thinking normally when seeing him, would otherwise enter a "sage" state.
What such a state is for women was entirely unfamiliar to Jiang Hao.
Yet he figured that the Yin Gu likely had minimal effect on them.
A powerful female demoness, presumably not young, would have a mature mind unlikely to experience any mental disturbances.
It was only someone like him, still relatively young, who would be so markedly affected.
In the end, he was the one at a disadvantage.
The next morning.
Jiang Hao appraised the rabbit.
[Rabbit: Spiritual intelligence not yet awakened, Foundation Establishment stage spirit beast. Contains latent Deceptive Beast bloodline. Feed it one spirit stone per day, and in seven days, the hidden bloodline can begin to awaken. Feeding it spirit stones daily increases its affection for you.]
Indeed, there were no issues.
Having confirmed this, he felt relieved and continued to nurture it.
Seven days later.
Jiang Hao arrived at the courtyard at the first opportunity.
However, the expected bubble did not appear.
Not to mention purple gold, there wasn't even a purple bubble.
At this time, the snow-white rabbit was defecating in the corner. When it saw Jiang Hao approach, it hid behind the spirit herbs.
It bared its teeth at Jiang Hao.
Its temperament wasn't great, and it showed no signs of bloodline awakening.
"Why is this happening?"
Perplexed, he appraised the rabbit once more, receiving the same result as before.
Still, seven days were needed to initially activate the hidden bloodline.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao tossed a spirit stone to the rabbit.
He then observed silently.
Today he didn’t go to the Spirit Herb Garden but continued observing the rabbit.
The rabbit didn't run around all day, occasionally nibbling on spirit herb leaves.
Jiang Hao watched it like this for the entire day.
When the next day came, he performed another appraisal.
However, the progress remained unchanged, still requiring seven days of feeding.
"The rabbit did nothing but eat spirit stones and a few leaves; it didn't do anything bizarre."
Jiang Hao lowered his gaze, pondering in silence for a while.
"Could it be that it can’t eat anything besides spirit stones?"
To test his theory, he grabbed the rabbit by the ears and suspended it with a rope.
He also used a collar to control its strength.
"Let's see if this works."
The rabbit looked at Jiang Hao, utterly confused about why this was happening.
Jiang Hao didn’t pay it any mind and handed it a spirit stone.
The rabbit could only nibble on the stone.
Once it finished, it began to struggle.
Jiang Hao continued to observe it.
The next day, he performed an appraisal.
[Rabbit: Spiritual intelligence not yet awakened, Foundation Establishment stage spirit beast. Contains latent Deceptive Beast bloodline. Feed it one spirit stone per day, and in six days, the hidden bloodline can begin to awaken. Feeding it spirit stones daily increases its affection for you. Currently, it holds a negative affection for you.]
Seeing the change to six days, Jiang Hao sighed in relief.
"Finally, some progress."
For the next six days, the rabbit remained suspended, thinking its lack of intelligence was to blame for its predicament.
On the seventh day.
The rabbit's body underwent a change; its aura underwent a slight transformation.
At the same time, a golden bubble floated beside it.
This delighted Jiang Hao. Although it wasn't purple gold, the golden bubble was still something he had never seen before.
As he approached, the bubble automatically merged into his body.
[Golden Legend +1]
Golden Legend, Purple Gold Legend, all different from the rest.
But he didn’t know if the gold rank was higher than the purple gold rank.
Jiang Hao opened his status panel.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: Twenty]
[Cultivation: Early Golden Core stage]
[Arts: Hundred Revolutions of Heavenly Sound, Primordial Chaos Heart Scripture]
[Divine Abilities: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear and Pure Heart State]
[Vital Qi: 8/100 (not cultivatable)]
[Cultivation: 10/100 (cultivable)]
[Divine Abilities: 1/3 (not obtainable)]
[Golden Legend: 1/2 (not obtainable)]
"Need two to acquire? Where can I find them?"
Seeing the inability to acquire it directly, Jiang Hao realized purple gold is a higher tier.
Currently unable to acquire gold, he felt a bit regretful, considering how rare it might be to find again.
Even purple is difficult, not to mention gold.
Just then, the rabbit's struggles gave Jiang Hao an idea.
He remembered that feeding the rabbit for seven days only led to the initial awakening of the Deceptive Beast bloodline.
Staring at the rabbit, he activated his divine ability once more.
Instantly, feedback flowed into his mind.
[Deceptive Beast Rabbit: Has developed rudimentary spiritual intelligence, Foundation Establishment stage. Contains a deeper layer of Deceptive Beast bloodline. Feed it seven spirit stones per day, and in forty-nine days, the hidden bloodline can further awaken. Feeding it spirit stones daily increases its affection for you. Currently, it holds a negative affection for you.]
Noting that feeding was still possible, Jiang Hao let out a breath of relief.
It seemed possible to continue gaining bubbles.
Though it required forty-nine days.
Regarding the seven spirit stones, while many, as long as he continued to earn spirit stones, it wasn’t an issue.
Forty-nine days would require around three hundred fifty stones.
That’s no small figure; Jiang Hao couldn’t afford any mistakes.
A mistake would mean starting over, wasting a significant quantity of spirit stones.
The rabbit couldn’t escape its suspended state.
Forty-nine days slipped by in a blink.
During this time, he never left Broken Hearts Cliff, fearing complications.
The spirit stones were depleted.
Luckily, today he witnessed another golden bubble.
