Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 250: Sensor

The moment that the stick made contact with the tiger’s head, there was a loud thwack sound that rang out.

This was completely different from all the other sounds that the stick had made when it hit the tiger before.

The tiger also seemed to stop moving the moment that the stick made contact with its head.

The moment before, it had its claw raised as if it wanted to slash at the little monkey. The next moment, that claw just seemed to freeze there in the air as if it was frozen in time.

The little monkey was the first to move as it suddenly flipped backwards and landed on the ground in front of the tiger. It still had a cautious look on its face as it looked at the tiger that wasn’t moving in front of it.

It was only after a minute that the tiger finally moved.

It fell forward.

It fell face first on the ground and it didn’t move after that.

The way that its eyes rolled back in their sockets made it clear that it had lost consciousness.

The little monkey was surprised to see that the tiger had lost consciousness after its strike. It even had to look closely at the tiger to make sure that it wasn’t just pretending to be unconscious.

After making sure that the tiger had really been knocked out, it suddenly raised the stick in its hands and looked up at me. The smug look on its face was as if it was saying, "How about that? Do you see my power now?"

It had beaten a spirit beast that had a lower level of cultivation than it and it was acting this smug...

It seemed like there really was a lot of training that was left for this little monkey before it could live up to its ancestor’s reputation...

It seemed that it would take some time before it would be useful to us.

Still, since it had taken down the tiger, we should at least let it out of the hole in the ground.

The problem was that after it came out of the ground, it looked at me and raised its hand as if it was asking for something.

The look on its face made it clear what it was asking for.

A reward.

Even though this was a punishment for it, this little monkey still had the nerve to ask for a reward...

This little monkey really was asking to be beaten!

...

After that small detour, we continued further into the Myriad Beast Valley.

This was a training trip, but the only way that we would receive any training was if we fought spirit beasts that were stronger. So we could only make our way deeper into the Myriad Beast Valley.

Only there would we find stronger spirit beasts to fight.

But as we were heading deeper, we found that the little monkey had some special abilities.

"Ukiki."

The little monkey that had been riding on my shoulder the entire time suddenly grabbed my cheek and pointed in a certain direction.

The way that it was gesturing was as if it was saying that there was something important in that direction, but I just couldn’t bring myself to trust it...Or at least I couldn’t trust it at first, but then it bowed its head as if it was asking for the favour of a lifetime.

Though I knew that this little monkey couldn’t be trusted, I still had to at least see what it was that it was acting this way.

It turned out that...it was something important.

When we arrived in the place that the little monkey guided us to, we found that there was a single flower that was blooming in the center of the clearing. However, this flower wasn’t just any ordinary flower.

This was a lycoris that was completely covered in flames.

Or it was better to say that this lycoris was made of flames with the way that the flames seemed to wrap around the petals of this flower.

There was no doubt that this wasn’t a normal flower.

But since it wasn’t a normal flower, there was no doubt that it wasn’t unguarded.

Something like this would surely be guarded by some kind of spirit beast that would have made this place its territory.

As expected, there was a screech that came from above.

When we looked up, we saw a ball of flames diving down at us.

Everyone immediately split up seeing this ball of flames diving down at us.

When it landed, it turned out that this ball of flames didn’t explode, but rather the flames gathered to form an even smaller ball in the center of where it landed.

This even smaller ball seemed to concentrate the flames until it took a certain form.

It was a hawk.

This was a hawk that seemed to be cloaked in flames.

Since it was also covered in flames, this was most likely the spirit beast that controlled this area and was the one that guarded this lycoris made of flames.

It was just that when it revealed itself...

I couldn’t help being disappointed.

"Only in the Qi Condensation Realm." I said this with a sigh.

The way that it had fallen down had made it seem much stronger than it actually was.

However, it seemed that it wasn’t that strong to begin with.

The lackeys didn’t hesitate to charge at this hawk even though they had only just reached the Qi Condensation Realm.

I wasn’t worried about them either, so I just left it to them as I turned my attention to the...little monkey.

It had been trying to take advantage of this commotion to steal the flame lycoris, so I grabbed it by the head before it could.

Only after making sure that the little monkey wasn’t able to take this flame lycoris did I look closely at it.

With the appraisal skill from the system, I was able to recognize what this thing was.

It was indeed considered a treasure for normal cultivators, but it wasn’t considered much in the eyes of a prodigal like me.

However, this did confirm one thing.

I looked at the little monkey and said, "So it has the power to sense treasures."
