Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 212 - The Little Scheming in Xiaotian Dog’s Heart
"Tsk! Like I have the leisure to know all these things every day," Xiaotian Dog said, casting a disdainful glance without a hint of shame for his ignorance.
Yang Jian’s mouth twitched, having never before encountered someone who took pride in their ignorance.
From now on, he decided it was best not to bring Xiaotian Dog along when going out.
Luckily, Xiaotian Dog hadn’t asked Yun Zhongzi, his uncle. Such an ignorant dog would indeed bring shame to him as its master—it was embarrassing.
"The Executioner Immortal Four Sword is an Innate Treasure, and each longsword’s grade is equivalent to that of a top Innate Spirit Treasure," Yang Jian paused, then explained.
He had to at least broaden Xiaotian’s horizons.
Innate Treasures!!!
"Are they that powerful?" Xiaotian Dog was utterly bewildered.
"Naturally."
Yang Jian said with certainty.
Once the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation was activated, it could allow one to fight against four Quasi-Saints.
Innate Treasure, indeed.
So strong!
"Then, how strong is the replica of the Executioner Immortal Four Sword?" Coming back to his senses, Xiaotian Dog’s voice trembled slightly.
"Why do you ask?" Yang Jian was somewhat puzzled.
"Ah! Nothing, I was just wondering what kind of treasure would tempt a thief to steal it," Xiaotian Dog said seriously, inventing a quick-witted response.
It sounded quite reasonable!
"At the very least, all of them are at the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal," Yang Jian replied, his eyes showing a hint of contemplation.
"However, considering the urgency of my uncle, it’s probably not simple; I suspect they might be Quasi-Saint level magical treasures!"
Quasi-Saint level!!!
Xiaotian Dog’s breathing hitched; after all, the recharges at Chaos Residence weren’t limited to just Golden Immortal magical treasures.
The higher the grade of the recharge, the more meal opportunities obtained.
Now he actually had Quasi-Saint level treasures—two of them, no less!
He wondered how many meal opportunities this sword would be worth.
Xiaotian cut to the chase, never considering using the treasures himself. Although treasures are nice, one still needs to be alive to enjoy them.
Haven’t you seen Yun Zhongzi going crazy looking for someone? Dare I take it out?
Furthermore, to activate a Quasi-Saint level treasure, the vast amount of mana required would instantly drain him dry—a treasure like this must be well hidden before handing it over to Shopkeeper Chen! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Xiaotian Dog thought to himself.
After all, these were Quasi-Saint level treasures; who wouldn’t be tempted?
"Let’s go, Xiaotian. Time to head back," Yang Jian called out, deciding to retrieve his weapon another day since his uncle was in a bad mood.
Xiaotian Dog gazed at Yang Jian indifferently and didn’t budge.
"You think just because you tell me to go, I will? Keep dreaming! I haven’t even enjoyed the scenery yet," Xiaotian Dog said with a swagger.
A vein popped on Yang Jian’s forehead as he clenched his fists, "Are you going or not?"
"What, if I don’t go, you’re going to hit me?" Xiaotian Dog flicked his head dismissively, scoffing at the suggestion.
Yang Jian’s face turned dark as he didn’t respond but instead took large strides, closing in on Xiaotian Dog, who had grown increasingly arrogant since visiting Chaos Residence. Unbeknownst to others, they might think he was the master!
"Yang Jian, what are you trying to do?"
"Yang, don’t mess around!"
"Master, I was wrong, spare this dog’s life!!"
"Burp! Ah, that was satisfying! Too delightful!"
Reclining on a cloud, Tian Peng exhibited a face of complete satiation, and his account suddenly increased by fifty meal opportunities, making him order without any hesitation.
One must admit, Shopkeeper Chen’s offering of free rice was truly thoughtful, although Tian Peng ended up paying for several more large bowls as well.
There was no helping it, the taste of that braised pork with rice was just sublime, even after all the meat was gone.
Even just eating the rice soaked in vegetable broth was a treat, couple it with a few jars of wine and a soda, life was simply colorful!
Xiong Daoren’s feelings at the moment were not much different from Tian Peng’s, but because he was in the middle of cloud-driving, he couldn’t indulge himself as freely.
Today, following Peng, he got a taste of what luxury really meant, nonchalantly ordering refills of rice five times without even blinking an eye.
Five bowls, that was half the price of a dish! No wonder Peng was known for his wealth and generosity.
As for him, he only dared to refill his bowl once and had to think twice about it, given that his account had originally been empty.
He had to plan for the long term and not be too extravagant.
Although he ordered the same as Peng, he was more conservative with the quantity. Smacking his lips, Xiong Daoren still felt somewhat unsatisfied.
Ordering less meant he was feeling a bit hungry again.
The meals prepared by Shopkeeper Chen were genuinely delicious. Compared to Shopkeeper Chen’s cooking skills, he felt that what he had eaten before meeting Peng was worse than dog food!
"Alas, it’s just a pity I didn’t awaken any Divine Skills," Xiong Daoren lamented with a hint of regret in his voice.
Tian Peng rolled his eyes, "Be content. Just having such a treasure from the start, with fifty chances added to your account, I had to deal with one chance at a time back in the day. It was much harder for me than for you."
Sitting back relaxedly with his legs crossed, Tian Peng said while shaking his head, "I’ve said it before, awakening depends on a person’s fate and luck. Besides the first awakening having the highest probability, how many can be like me, with two meals resulting in two awakenings?"
"Young bear, don’t aim too high."
Peng’s mouth curled into a grin, and the more he talked, the more smug he became. There was no helping it, who else was as lucky as he was?
Apart from Mr. Monkey, he was the fastest to awaken three Divine Skills! Invincible, who else could there be?
If only he were born ten years earlier, it’s no telling who would have been the first to awaken ten Divine Skills!
The more Tian Peng thought about it, the more carried away he got.
However, it was just a dream he entertained in his heart. He had to admit, Mr. Monkey was truly powerful; both his innate ability and comprehension were top-notch.
If someone witless dared to provoke Mr. Monkey, even a Daluo Golden Immortal might not be able to bear it.
Tian Peng’s smug expression faded, becoming serious. In his view, Mr. Monkey was indeed the benchmark among the Taiyi Golden Immortals.
Moreover, when Mr. Monkey advanced to Great Luo, he would also set the standard for Daluo Golden Immortals, just that invincible and domineering!
It wasn’t without reason, just considering the Divine Skills awakened from Shopkeeper Chen alone, one could see that even he had crossed hands with Mr. Monkey. Those Divine Skills were each more mysterious and powerful than the last.
And that was just the tip of the iceberg. Who knows how heaven-defying the rest were? Compared to them, he would rather take on Erlang Shen.
"Peng is right!" Xiong Daoren nodded vigorously, realizing he had been a little delirious.
Peng was one of the top figures around, that’s why he could pull off the miraculous feat of awakening twice during two meals.
For someone with an ordinary aptitude like his own, having one awakening was already great, and he expected a second awakening right away?
Taking a deep breath, Xiong Daoren calmed himself down.
All that mattered was that he used fewer chances to awaken his second Divine Skill than Xiaotian Dog, that detestable mutt.
It was okay to be worse than anyone else, but he couldn’t bear being worse than that damn dog. Xiong Daoren bolstered his fighting spirit.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Tian Peng let out a long sigh.
"What’s wrong, Peng?" Xiong Daoren snapped out of his thoughts.
"I wonder what Shopkeeper Chen’s new dish tastes like."
Peng looked a bit forlorn, thinking back to the scent of meat that filled the dining hall when they were eating, it was hard to resist!
If Shopkeeper Chen hadn’t been there, he would’ve rushed into the kitchen and taken the whole pot himself.
It wasn’t that he lacked self-discipline, but that what Shopkeeper Chen cooked was simply too tempting - even the mere broth was so fragrant.
It just showed how extraordinary the flavor of the finished dish must be.
The known wait is torturous, especially for something as precious as Shopkeeper Chen’s soon-to-be-released new dish.
Just the thought of it was enough to stir a bubbling excitement within him.
