Chapter 90 - 87: Gold-Devouring Spirit Bee (Part 4)
"Brother Xiu, this time I really owe you. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t have been able to buy these Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees at such a low price."
On the road, Zhou Changwang was holding a wooden box in one hand, which contained a total of thirty-five Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees including the queen bee, and a hundred kilograms of Spirit Ore in the other hand, as he spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you’re too kind.
I was just doing business.
If I didn’t exert myself, how could I have the nerve to earn your Spirit Stones?"
Tuoba Xiu shook his head with a smile, then parted ways with Zhou Changwang and walked swiftly towards the Independent Cultivator Marketplace.
His stall was still there with someone watching over it, so he naturally had to return.
As for the Spirit Stones? Zhou Changwang had already given them to him when he walked out of Xu Shaofeng’s house.
Seeing this, Zhou Changwang did not linger and quickly made his way home.
This time, he truly spent everything he had.
He spent a total of one hundred and thirty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones to purchase the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees, gave Brother Xiu one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone as an information fee, and ten Lower-Grade Spirit Stones as a commission fee, amounting to a total of one hundred and forty-one Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Then, as he passed by a Talisman Shop, he bought two stacks of high-quality Talisman Paper, a type made from Spirit Rabbit Fur, which can endure stronger Spiritual Power and is a top choice for making high-quality Spirit Talismans.
One stack costs three Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, so two stacks are six Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Adding a bottle of Snake Blood Talisman Ink worth three Lower-Grade Spirit Stones... a total of one hundred and fifty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones spent, not a single one left, all used up.
"Going around in circles, I’ve become penniless again."
Zhou Changwang sighed as he quickly entered his courtyard.
Without stopping at the front yard, he headed straight to the backyard.
"Awooo!"
Soon, he heard the howling of the Little Spirit Dog coming from the backyard.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Changwang rushed forward, and sure enough, saw the Little Spirit Dog vigorously chasing two Black Needle Poison Bees.
Despite the two Black Needle Poison Bees being much smaller than the Little Spirit Dog, they can fly, and their flying speed is not slow. They frequently hover over the Little Spirit Dog’s head, and before it can pounce on them, they would either soar upwards or dodge nimbly.
Moreover, if given the opportunity, the two Black Needle Poison Bees would immediately release their Poison Needles.
The Little Spirit Dog looked very miserable at the moment, with two large welts on its head, and two stings on its nose and lips. Its entire dog face was a sight to behold, incredibly unsightly.
"Awooo..."
The Little Spirit Dog howled miserably upon seeing Zhou Changwang, looking pitiable.
It was truly aggrieved.
The two Black Needle Poison Bees went for its vulnerable spots. If it hadn’t remembered its owner’s order to protect the Spirit Field, it would have long fled.
"I know you’re aggrieved, so I’m here to avenge you."
Zhou Changwang looked at it amusingly, casually performed the Calming Technique, and then tapped his fingers twice, causing the two Black Needle Poison Bees to fall to the ground one after another.
Zhou Changwang didn’t directly kill them, only removed their wings.
He knew that the Calming Technique could only calm the Little Spirit Dog’s emotions, and for revenge, doing it itself would be much more satisfying.
The Little Spirit Dog also noticed that Zhou Changwang hadn’t killed the two Black Needle Poison Bees. It immediately pounced on them, using its paws to slap them hard.
It intended to torture the two Black Needle Poison Bees well, not wanting them to die so quickly...
Zhou Changwang didn’t mind this, and used the Withered Wood Revival Technique to heal the Little Spirit Dog. Then, he started inspecting the Spirit Field.
Once he confirmed that there were no more traces of the Black Needle Poison Bees, he came to the courtyard by the pond and opened the wooden box.
Inside the wooden box were the thirty-five Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees he had purchased this time.
One queen bee and thirty-four worker bees.
Inside the box was a beehive about the size of a bowl, and Zhou Changwang’s gaze fell on it, soon spotting the queen bee resting slightly on the hive.
