All the treasure-hunting mice jumped into the hatching pool together. By the time Shushu realized what was happening, she was already surrounded by circles of white mice, all of them staring at her with bright eyes, marveling at her.

"It really turned gold!"

"Yes, it's gold! It's so beautiful."

"You're so great, little one."

"Yes, yes, the little one is really amazing, hahaha."

"Yes, yes, just like the progenitor!"

...

Everyone was chattering away, showering Shushu with praise as if it were free spirit stones, making Shushu feel quite smug.

His hairy face was beaming with an unstoppable smile, the corners of his mouth curving upwards again and again.

Immediately afterwards, no one knew who made the first move, but Shushu felt himself being tossed into the air in a flash, then falling down, and then being tossed up again.

The rats seemed to regard throwing millet and sweet potatoes as a celebration, and the commotion lasted for quite a while.

After a long while, everyone stopped and prepared to go ashore, but Shushu stopped them at this moment.

It turns out that in addition to needing a golden rat with the ancestral bloodline, there is another condition for reactivating the bloodline: the assistance of an incubation pool.

Just then, everyone came down, and Shushu was in top condition. Shushu decided to help everyone activate their blood vessels now, and those who had already activated their blood vessels would also strengthen their bodies.

Given the opportunity to activate their bloodlines, no rat could resist. After confirming that there were no problems with the millet and yam, the elders finally agreed.

Soon, under Shushu's arrangement, all the treasure-hunting rats gathered around Shushu in the middle, each finding a spot and beginning to act according to Shushu's instructions.

Meanwhile, Shushu was directing everyone while simultaneously practicing his techniques to assist them.

A continuous stream of chaotic energy was drawn out of the space and poured into the incubation pool, where it mixed with the milky white liquid and began to nourish everyone's bodies.

As time passed, the treasure-hunting rat, whose talent had not yet been activated, felt as if it had fallen into a mysterious state.

The treasure-hunting rats, having activated their talents, discovered that chaotic energy, along with the milk from the hatching pool, slowly entered their meridians, repeatedly washing and expanding them.

While removing impurities, it also makes their meridians stronger, and the upper limit of spiritual energy they can store is also increasing again and again.

Even his physical strength is increasing at an incredible rate.

Apart from the slow breathing, there was no other sound in the entire hatching pool. All the treasure-hunting rats were immersed in a special world.

As for the sorghum, it opened its eyes after drawing everyone in.

But she didn't leave. Instead, she remained in the same spot, sensing the chaotic energy in the incubation pool to ensure it was always at the most suitable concentration.

Everyone closed their eyes and remained so for a long time.

A year later, Shu Chi was the first to wake up.

When it woke up, it found that everyone was still asleep, so it gently left the spot without making any noise or waking anyone.

After communicating with the millet, it left the secret place to check on the tribe's territory and the situation of the poisonous miasma outside.

After confirming that there were no mistakes, Shu Chi returned to the hatching pool and continued to guard everyone.

About half a month later, Shu Mo woke up and did the same thing as Shu Chi. Ten days later, Shu Heng woke up and went through the same process.

Following closely behind are millet mounds, millet leaves, millet colors, millet chestnuts, millet and wheat, and millet music.

It wasn't until all the treasure-hunting rats that had activated their talents woke up, and another two months later, that the first treasure-hunting rat successfully activated its talent and woke up.

The moment it woke up, it found that its talent had been activated, its cultivation had become much more solid, and its body had become much stronger. The whole mouse was so excited that it couldn't help but tremble.

Fortunately, it was still sensible and knew that everyone was still asleep, so it didn't make any noise in the incubation pool.

Instead, he suppressed his joy until he ran out of the secret place and returned to his clan's territory, at which point he jumped up and down with delight.

He ran around the clan's territory dozens of times before his excitement was somewhat relieved.

After calming down, it returned to the secret place, intending to stay and protect everyone, but was disdainfully chased away by several elders, who told it to find somewhere else to stay.

It wasn't angry at all; it just happily started patrolling the territory dozens of times a day.

He even took the time to run out into the poisonous miasma outside and wreak havoc on all the poisonous creatures living there before returning to his nest, satisfied, and happily preparing a thank-you gift for Shushu.

As the days went by, more and more treasure-hunting rats activated their talents and awakened.

Every single one that woke up was incredibly excited.

It can only be said that birds of a feather flock together.

When the treasure-hunting rats get excited, their first thought is always of the jade scorpions in front of them.

The purple jade scorpions are so annoyed by this that they run away as fast as they can whenever they spot white in the distance, not wanting to see even a single hair of a mouse.

Unfortunately, there were too few other creatures in the treasure-hunting rat clan, and they couldn't find anyone else to talk to or share their joy with, so they could only catch them and wreak havoc on them.

The Purple Jade Scorpion fled, and the Treasure-Seeking Rat chased after it. It chased and it fled, but in the end, the Purple Jade Scorpion had no way to escape. It listened to almost the same words nearly a hundred times with a look of utter despair, wishing it could go deaf.

Of course, it's impossible to be deaf.

So, after being tormented, the Jade Scorpions decided to fight back and give the Treasure-Hunting Rats a little punishment.

If you encounter a chattering treasure-hunting rat, just poison it a little bit, not much, just enough to paralyze it for a while.

Then, while the treasure-hunting rats were paralyzed and unable to move, the jade scorpions randomly selected a spot and shaved off their fur.

For a time, the entire treasure-hunting rat clan, except for Shushu who hadn't left the house and the four powerful ancestors, all had unique appearances.

It's not that it's missing a tuft of hair on its forehead, or a piece on its back, or its belly, or its paws; it's truly a peculiar sight.

Fortunately, as fur lovers, the treasure-hunting rats had specifically gone to the Alchemist Association in mainland China to request fur-bearing pills, and they still had quite a lot in stock, with each rat possessing at least several bottles.

After eating the rambutan for about half a month, their fur finally grew back, and each one regained its smooth and glossy appearance.

With their image stabilized, the cultivation levels of the elders solidified, and the clan's combat strength increased significantly, their temporary safety was assured.

Furthermore, with the Phoenix Clan's ten-thousand-year celebration approaching, they also intend to lend Lu Li a hand.

So, after making preparations, the four ancestors finally chose a day with good weather and opened the entrance to the clan's territory.
