Chapter 37: Senior, Could You Pick Someone Else?

Hearing the unfamiliar voice coming from the Radio, Zhou Yu immediately understood. These two guys were probably helpers Uncle-Master Wu had found to team up and capture him as soon as he appeared.

From their words, it seemed they had been staying in Uncle-Master Wu’s Spirit Herb Garden for several days. The Radio had not been turned on during that time; the last time it was turned on was when he reached Fairy Suxin.

However, could these two men alone really catch him? Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t him who stole Uncle-Master Wu’s things; it was the miraculous Radio.

In his view, this Radio contained some mysterious power that could connect two worlds. Such power was surely not that simple.

On the other side of the Radio, hearing his two senior brothers’ words, Uncle-Master Wu felt like crying but had no tears. After that shameless Senior stole his things twice in a row, he angrily invited two senior brothers with whom he had close relationships and deep Cultivation to help capture that fellow the next time he appeared.

To get these two senior brothers to help, he had paid a price and provided them with good food and drinks every day. But now, nearly ten days had passed, and that fellow had not appeared again. How could he not feel frustrated?

Now, these two senior brothers were full and had enjoyed enough benefits. They wanted to leave, yet they hadn’t even caught a single hair of that fellow.

If what these senior brothers said was true, and that shameless Senior really didn’t dare to come again, then he could be satisfied. What he feared was that the fellow would bully the weak and only come back after his senior brothers left.

“By the grace of your words, senior brothers. Thank you for your help these past few days. I am immensely grateful.” Even if he was unwilling, Uncle-Master Wu had to agree to let these two senior brothers leave. Otherwise, he would have to pay more to make them stay.

After Uncle-Master Wu spoke, laughter came from the Radio. “Haha, no problem. We are fellow disciples; we should help each other. These past few days, helping you scare off that thief, we can consider our mission accomplished.”

“Yes, Junior Brother Wu. We have troubled you here for several days. It is time for us to leave. Thank you for your hospitality.”

“Thank you both for these past few days. Let me see you out.” Uncle-Master Wu thanked them again. These two guys had eaten and drunk well for days here without doing a single thing.

After that, faint footsteps came from the Radio. Zhou Yu smiled. He felt that these two senior brothers of Uncle-Master Wu probably wouldn’t get any more benefits and were preparing to leave.

Regarding Uncle-Master Wu’s upcoming plight, he began to feel a bit of sympathy.

“Junior Brother Wu, the cranes in your Spirit Herb Garden look quite magnificent and powerful. Did you use some secret treasure? A couple of days ago, while I was walking in the garden, they suddenly flew at me to bite. It took some effort to get away.” At this moment, they seemed to have spotted the cranes, and one of the senior brothers spoke up.

Mentioning these cranes, Uncle-Master Wu immediately spoke with some pride. “Haha, Senior Brother Feng, these cranes have the duty to guard the garden. Naturally, they will attack anyone who enters the spirit grass-growing area without my permission. As for their magnificence, a few months ago, I sought hundreds of elementary Spirit Beast Pills from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and fed them daily.”

“The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has countless Spirit Beasts. The Spirit Beast Pills are made by adding the bones or Essence Blood of deceased Spirit Beasts, mixed with other precious Spirit Grass. Although what I obtained were elementary Spirit Beast Pills, I still paid a considerable price. However, they can make these cranes more intelligent, full of spirit, and slightly improve their overall physique.”

“So it’s the famous Spirit Beast Pills from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. It is said that within their sect, there is a Divine Beast Pill containing the Essence Blood of an ancient divine beast. An ordinary Spirit Beast taking it can awaken its ancestral bloodline inheritance. I wonder if that’s true or not.”

“Senior Brother Feng, true or not, it’s none of our concern. Such a divine Elixir is not something we can obtain. Being able to get some elementary Spirit Beast Pills is already satisfying enough for me.” Uncle-Master Wu said with a light smile. Even elementary Spirit Beast Pills from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were not easy to obtain.

Hearing the words from the Radio, Zhou Yu’s expression immediately changed. Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Spirit Beast Pills—he clearly remembered that during the last time the Radio was on, that fellow surnamed Zheng from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had disrespected his Fairy Suxin.

“You are right, junior brother. I have never seen a Spirit Beast Pill and am quite curious. Could you maybe take one out for us to see?” At this point, Senior Brother Feng, feeling curious, spoke up.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes lit up. Senior Brother Feng was really on his side! Things from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect—why not take them if given the chance?

Uncle-Master Wu chuckled. “Naturally, I can. However, I only have a few dozen Spirit Beast Pills left. Who knows how long I’ll have to wait to get more? This pouch contains the remaining Spirit Beast Pills. I’ll take some out for you two senior brothers to see.”

At this moment, Zhou Yu immediately shouted in his heart: I want to get the Spirit Beast Pills! I want to get the Spirit Beast Pills! If they can make animals more intelligent and I use them on Huzi, Dabao, and Xiaobao at home, they would definitely become much more magnificent.

“Oh, so this is the Spirit Beast Pill. It looks unremarkable, but it contains Spiritual Energy. It is with this Elixir that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has raised many Spirit Beasts and stood firm for hundreds of years.” Senior Brother Feng and the other person seemed to have seen the Spirit Beast Pills, speaking with a hint of surprise.

Uncle-Master Wu’s laughter came through. “The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect relies on Spirit Beasts for strength but neglects their own Cultivation. We who pursue Cultivation do so for the Mastery of Creation, to become immortals and live forever. Relying on external force is never as good as relying on oneself.”

“Junior Brother Wu is right. Now that we have seen the Spirit Beast Pills, Senior Brother Yu and I should bid farewell.”

“Take care, senior brothers.” Uncle-Master Wu smiled and waved, then looked at the cranes beside him with some pride.

After a while, when the two senior brothers had walked away, Uncle-Master Wu’s somewhat mocking voice came through. “These two guys, still wanting to do sneaky things in the Spirit Herb Garden. Have they forgotten how many years I, Old Wu, have stayed here?”

“Wait, something feels off. That’s right, where is the Spirit Beast Pill I was just holding? You… you bully-the-weak tough guy, come out! I will cut you into a thousand pieces!”

Walking along, Uncle-Master Wu seemed to sense something strange. Then he suddenly realized and looked at his hand. The pouch of Spirit Beast Pills he had just taken out had disappeared without a trace, pouch and all.

“You scum of the Cultivation World! If your grandmaster knew you used profound Cultivation for such tricks, he would crawl out of his grave and kill you…”

Uncle-Master Wu’s furious curses came from the Radio. Zhou Yu coughed, his face showing a hint of embarrassment. But his attention was soon drawn to a ball of light that emerged from the Radio.

Within this ball of light was a small pouch. Presumably, what was inside were the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s Spirit Beast Pills.

He gently touched it with his hand. The light disappeared, and the pouch fell into his hand. Looking at this ordinary-looking pouch, he prayed in his heart: Please don’t have a Formation like that portrait of Fairy Suxin.

Holding the pouch with one hand, Zhou Yu reached inside with the other. There was no obstruction. He smoothly felt numerous smooth, round objects inside. With joy on his face, he took one out.

Under the light, he saw what the elementary Spirit Beast Pill looked like. Just as Senior Brother Feng had said, it truly looked unremarkable. It was entirely blackish-brown, like an ordinary medicine pill.

Just as he was about to observe it further, Uncle-Master Wu’s curses from the Radio ceased. After a moment, a pleading voice actually came through. “Senior… Senior, I, Old Wu, submit. I truly submit. Please spare me. Could you pick someone else? Let’s pick someone else. Those two senior brothers of mine just now had many more treasures than I do.”
