Chapter 76 - 76 Great Harvest, Obtaining the
Translator: 549690339
Clearly, the Yan Mountain Five Tigers’ visit to Zhou Sui’s home was not without
reason.
They had heard Xu Tianze’s introduction of Ji Bingyu and others, and so, on a whim, they had decided to murder and rob them at night, in the hope of amassing a large fortune. This was the so-called allure of treasures.
Without Xu Tianze’s words, they might not have come.
However, it must be said, Xu Tianze was truly cunning, never leaving any loose ends in his acts.
He didn’t explicitly instigate the Yan Mountain Five Tigers, he simply shared some information about Zhou Sui’s household.
But for robbers like the Yan Mountain Five Tigers, the mere knowledge of such a tempting target made them unable to resist.
A simple scheme of using another’s hand to kill had been perfectly executed by
them.
■When did I offend this Xu Tianze, that he would plot against me like this?”
Zhou Sui squinted his eyes, puzzled beyond measure.
As a classic homebody who rarely ventured outside, his interactions with his neighbors had been minimal.
Under normal circumstances, he shouldn’t have many enemies.
The issue was, Xu Tianze seemed to harbor a grudge against him and continued to plot against him.
If he wasn’t somewhat powerful himself, he might have been in deep trouble.
“That’s right, in this world, one doesn’t need to harbor a grudge to come under covert attack.”
“Perhaps one has simply blocked someone’s course, or someone has taken a liking to something.”
“Could it be that the guy noticed something, and thinks that I possess lots of valuables?”
A sliver of coldness shot through Zhou Sui’s eyes.
He had actually not intended to concern himself with Xu Tianze. Even if Xu Tianze were one of the Demon Cultivators, as long as he didn’t pose a hindrance, Zhou Sui could turn a blind eye towards it.
But unexpectedly, Xu Tianze wasn’t willing to let him go. This left him with no choice but to counter.
However, dealing with Xu Tianze would require careful planning.
Swoosh—
Thinking about this, Zhou Sui’s figure flashed, appearing outside the door. He cast the Fireball Technique, instantly incinerating the corpses of the Yan Mountain Five Tigers. In no time at all, they turned into ashes.
As if the Yan Mountain Five Tigers had never existed.
Of course, he also took their storage bags.
Cultivators at the Late Qi Cultivation stage like these, especially robbers, might carry valuable treasures.
Therefore, he definitely would not miss an opportunity to acquire such
treasures.
“Impressive, they actually carried so many treasures.”
“Didn’t they commit robbery due to a lack of money? This is simply a matter of greed!”
“As expected of Late Qi Cultivators, even a derelict ship has a few nails.”
Upon returning to his house, Zhou Sui promptly opened the five storage bags.
With a simple sweep of his Divine Sense, he sensed a variety of treasures inside.
Although there were not many Spirit Stones inside the storage bags, perhaps because they had spent them all, there were bottles and bottles of pills suitable for Late Qi Cultivators.
Such as five bottles of Golden Marrow Pills, seven bottles of Yellow Dragon Pills, three bottles of top-grade Detoxifying Pills and three bottles of Fasting
Pills, etc.
In short, pills to enhance Cultivation, antidote pills, and Qi replenishing pills, every kind was there.
It was clear that they valued their Cultivation advancement highly.
They did not lack Spirit Stones, instead they had merely transformed their Spirit Stones into these pills.
But now, all these pills belonged to him. Simply selling these pills could earn him fifty thousand Lower-Grade Spiritual Stones.
“There are so many magic artifacts and materials.
Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
In addition to the pills, there were many magic artifacts inside each Yan Mountain Five Tigers’ storage bag. Specifically, thirty-six Lower Grade Magic Tools, eighteen Middle Grade Magic Tools, and five Top-Grade Magic
Weapons.
There were also many precious ores and materials.
Undoubtedly, these materials’ total value was also at least equivalent to fifty thousand Lower Grade Spiritual Stones.
That means, the value of the goods inside topped a hundred thousand Lower Grade Spiritual Stones, a considerable amount.
Clearly, regular Cultivators wouldn’t possess so many magic artifacts and materials. The overwhelming odds were that the Yan Mountain Five Tigers stole them from others.
“I’m not an artifact refiner. Given the current market trends in Misty Cloud City, I wouldn’t get a good price anyway. I’ll just feed these to the Gold Eating Bugs instead.”
Zhou Sui squinted his eyes.
To the Gold Eating Bugs, these magic artifacts and various materials were
top-grade food.
If they consumed all of them, it would significantly boost their power and speed up their evolution.
Perhaps they’d advance to the Second Stage, just like the “Obsession Gu”. If that were to happen, with the Gold Eating Bug swarm, Zhou Sui could easily eliminate Foundation-building Cultivators. It would be as if he possessed the battle prowess of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator even before he reached that stage himself.
Crack, crack—
Upon that thought, Zhou Sui gestured broadly, throwing these magic artifacts and materials to the Gold Eating Bugs.
The excited bugs immediately swarmed towards the loot. They began to devour it, much like eating chocolates.
The aura they exuded became increasingly powerful, their bodies seemingly coated with various metallic shells with densely packed Rune patterns. The enchanting strength of the Magical artifacts pulsed from their bodies.
Obviously, the strengths of these Gold Eating Bugs had undergone a vast improvement.
“Hang on, this is a Foundation Pill formula?!”
A thought flitted through Zhou Sui’s mind. He scrutinizing the contents of the storage bag again only to find the pleasant surprise. He hadn’t expected to obtain a Foundation Pill formula from the Yan Mountain Five Tigers.
Understandably, a Foundation Pill formula was highly valuable, not something that could be bought easily even with money.
He hadn’t expected that the Yan Mountain Five Tigers had managed to find one.
However, after thinking it through, it did make sense. After all, their Cultivation had actually reached the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation stage. It was time for them to hunt for the Foundation Pill.
The problem was, acquiring a Foundation Pill was extremely difficult for them, and required the Sect to release some.
But the vast majority of Foundation Pills had been seized by clan Cultivators. How could it be the turn of Loose Cultivators?
Since they couldn’t procure the Foundation Pill at the auction, their natural course of action was to create it themselves.
And so, the Yan Mountain Five Tigers had expended a huge price to find the Foundation Pill recipe.
Little did they know, now it would be of benefit to him.
“What luck! I sought far and wide, only to find it effortlessly.”
Zhou Sui was filled with great joy.
He had initially planned to obtain the Foundation Pill formula from the auction at Xuanbao Tower. He hadn’t imagined that these robbers would present themselves on a platter, giving him such a significant advantage.
One could only say, they were like his fortune handing boys, benefiting him greatly.
“Let’s see what this Foundation Pill formula looks like.”
Upon thinking this, Zhou Sui waved, instantly throwing the Foundation Pill formula to his BookWorm.
He couldn’t care less about remembering the contents of the Foundation Pill formula. Once the Bookworm ate it, he’d naturally remember it completely.
Unless he died, the recollection of the Foundation Pill formula would not disappear.
With a cracking sound, the BookWorm immediately lunged at it, consuming the Foundation Pill formula.
Immediately, a vast wave of information flooded his Sea of Consciousness..
