540 Treasure Seeking Rats, about half female, half male.

270 female Treasure Seeking Rats, each gave birth to at least 30 Treasure Seeking Rat pups.

This is 8,100 Treasure Seeking Rats.

After that, just wait half a month, when these more than 8,000 Treasure Seeking Rats mature, still half the number, 4,000 female Treasure Seeking Rats, will give birth.

That's 4,000 multiplied by 30, a full 120,000.

The Treasure Seeking Rats ruled by the Rat Plague Disaster Domain abandoned their most precious combat power in exchange for triple fertility and double maturation speed.

Easily breaking through realms. Qing Yang also didn't know if this was good or bad for these ordinary Treasure Seeking Rats.

Until this day, as the number of Treasure Seeking Rats finally broke through the 10,000 mark, Qing Yang immediately had Mao Qiu begin directing the dense swarm of Treasure Seeking Rats towards this endless Precious Crystal Spring Mine.

Treasure Seeking Rats themselves possess the ability to seek treasure, but because most of these Treasure Seeking Rats only have First-Order strength, even mining is difficult.

After all, the Inner Realm's mountains are much harder than the Blue Star Surface. Ultimately, the first day's profit was only a few tens of thousands of zhen crystal.

Seeing this situation, Qing Yang made a decisive decision, directly found Mao Qiu, and asked, "You have a connection with these Treasure Seeking Rats. What strength do you think these Treasure Seeking Rats need to reach..."

...to be able to mine unimpeded in the mountains?"

On Hong Zong's neck, after Mao Qiu thought for a moment, he immediately gave the answer.

At least Sixth-Order.

Having obtained this exact number, Qing Yang immediately changed his strategy and began to vigorously cultivate 10,000 Treasure Seeking Rats first, aiming for all of them to break through to Sixth-Order before anything else.

Due to the Rat Plague Disaster Domain, the combat power of these Treasure Seeking Rats has been reduced by more than ten times, but as long as resources are in place, the speed at which these little fellows improve is extremely fast.

In just half a month, when Qing Yang's five million zhen crystal were reduced to less than two million, 10,000 Sixth-Order Treasure Seeking Rats finally broke through and appeared.

Next, Qing Yang, following the configuration of five ordinary Treasure Seeking Rats equipped with one Sixth-Order Treasure Seeking Rat, entered the mountain again to mine.

This time, in just one day, these Treasure Seeking Rats brought Qing Yang a full 70,000 zhen crystal in profit.

There were less than twenty days left until it was time to hand over zhen crystal to Purple Light.

Therefore, after some planning, Qing Yang immediately said to Mao Qiu, "Your little brothers are experiencing explosive growth every day now."

"In less than half a year, you'll probably have tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of these little brothers. Although they consume very few resources individually,"

"if there are too many of them, the accumulated cost will be considerable. My plan is to first get six million Treasure Seeking Rats,"

"and then have one million Treasure Seeking Rats break through to Sixth-Order, operating in a mode where one mines and five transport."

Hearing Qing Yang's arrangement, Jin Hua, who was nearby, softly said, "With 10,000 Sixth-Order Treasure Seeking Rats, the daily harvest is 70,000 to 80,000 zhen crystal. With a million, wouldn't that be seven or eight million a day?"

"My goodness, I'm afraid we'll collapse this mine! By the way, how many resources should we hand over to Lord Purple Light?"

Precious Crystal Spring Mines generally operate on a profit-sharing model; the more you mine, the more you hand over to the higher-ups.

But upon hearing this, Qing Yang immediately said, "What, you don't know how to make fake accounts? We don't have any miners left; gathering a million zhen crystal in a month is already the limit. Where would we have any extra zhen crystal?"

Not far away, Blood Dragon slightly opened his mouth, his lips twitching as he said, "Good heavens, with that ability to lie through your teeth, you're truly worthy of being Qing Yang."

Mao Qiu had just broken through to Tenth-Order in the past few days, but because Mao Qiu's current limit is Fourteenth-Order, he wasn't in a hurry to condense flesh and blood.

After all, even if he condensed a physical body now, when he reached Fourteenth-Order, he would still need to continue replenishing blood energy to stabilize the body again.

But looking at Mao Qiu's small skeletal appearance, Qing Yang finally couldn't help but have Jin Sheng refine some blood energy first so that Mao Qiu could obtain a physical body.

As a Treasure Seeking Rat the size of a chinchilla appeared, with fluffy, pure white fur free of any impurities, Mao Qiu immediately jumped onto Qing Yang's bone body, examining Qing Yang's Twelfth-Order peak Ten-Colored Bone Body.

What is fighting for? Nothing more than benefits and resources.

But now, Qing Yang's side is no longer lacking any resources, so why fight?

Additionally, Qing Yang's lifespan had been completely filled by Shidian, and furthermore, with Qing Yang using reverse particles as an exchange condition, Shidian also began to increase the lifespan Mao Qiu had lost in previous battles.

Mao Qiu's strength is Fourteenth-Order, and his lifespan is roughly between 4,900 years.

But from Shidian's mouth, Qing Yang learned that Mao Qiu's actual lifespan only had a little over 1,700 years left.

As for the remaining more than 3,200 years, they were actually lost during the fighting on Blue Star in the past few years.

From this point alone, Qing Yang could roughly guess how intense the battles on Blue Star had been in recent years.

For creatures like Shi Shi Beast, their growth is such that as long as they reach a hundred years, they can directly advance one rank. After reaching Tenth-Order, it takes a thousand years.

However, this thing called reverse particles can greatly shorten their advancement time.

According to what Shidian said, one reverse particles can shorten the time by about a year.

So, during the following period, Qing Yang absorbed energy to advance to the Thirteenth-Order perfect Ten-Colored Bone Body while simultaneously reversing energy with all his might to condense reverse particles.

Seeing how hard Qing Yang was working, the young Shidian finally agreed to Qing Yang's request to restore the full lifespan of Hong Zong, Blood Dragon, and the others.

On this day, as the time to hand over zhen crystal arrived, Jin Hua also carried a million zhen crystal and directly returned to Bei Guan City.

As for all the extra zhen crystal, Qing Yang let the Treasure Seeking Rats use them all.

This directly increased the number of Sixth-Order Treasure Seeking Rats from the original 10,000 to 20,000.

Correspondingly, the number of zhen crystal mined also increased from 80,000 to 160,000.

Looking at Qing Yang and the others, who couldn't even scrape together a single treasured crystal among them, Shidian rolled his eyes and said.

"Why didn't you ask me for a loan? I can lend to you. Is one hundred million zhen crystal enough?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qing Yang's eyes immediately widened.

However, although Shidian looked naive and sweet, this little fellow seemed to have inherited the nature of the previous Shi Shi Beast, being the type who wouldn't suffer any loss.

Ultimately, after some discussion, Qing Yang borrowed one hundred million zhen crystal from Shidian, but when it was time to repay, he had to return one hundred and ten million zhen crystal.

With such a large reserve of zhen crystal, Mao Qiu could be said to have rolled up his sleeves and worked like crazy.

One million Sixth-Order Treasure Seeking Rats all successfully broke through in less than a month.
