Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 750 - 749: Tricking the Wind-Calming Pill

Even if the Six-Eared Macaque did not give him the Wind-Calming Pill now, he was not in a hurry. It was the Six-Eared Macaque who was truly anxious. If it still wanted to go back to save its master, then it would surely agree to his demands.

The Six-Eared Macaque had not expected that by merely refusing his help, the other party would get angry. What kind of logic was that? Could it be that the other really wanted the Wind-Calming Pill?

It still did not know the details about the person in front of it, not even their appearance. Through their conversation, all it could gather was that this person was definitely not ordinary and that their spells were also superior to its own, but beyond that, it knew nothing.

As to whether the other party had come to help because of the Wind-Calming Pill or had received an order from above to assist, it was completely in the dark.

"Do you want this Wind-Calming Pill?" Six Eared Macaque asked.

"Who said I wanted the Wind-Calming Pill?" Chen Nuo snorted coldly with that older voice, "I merely said I’d help you return the Wind-Calming Pill to Lingji Bodhisattva, but since you don’t trust me, there’s nothing I can do."

"Are you really not here for the Wind-Calming Pill?" Six Eared Macaque pressed.

"Ask, ask, ask, what’s there to ask? A mere junior Wind-Calming Pill, what do I need that for? It’s just on the way back to Buddhism that..." Chen Nuo let slip a mistake, suddenly stopped talking, coughed twice, and then continued.

"It’s just about offering to help you with it, so you don’t have to go back up there to find him. Isn’t going back and forth just a waste of time?"

It was precisely this small slip that made the Six-Eared Macaque paradoxically less suspicious of this person.

So, the other was also from Buddhism, and now he had come to help because he had received orders from above. That was great. In that case, he could trust this person in front of him completely.

"Don’t be angry, the main thing is that all the demons I’ve encountered have been too cunning. If I don’t stay vigilant, my master and I wouldn’t have been able to come this far," Six Eared Macaque pleaded.

"I don’t care what your reasons are. If you don’t trust me, I’m too lazy to help you," Chen Nuo played hard to get.

Six Eared Macaque pleaded with Chen Nuo for a while, and finally, Chen Nuo gradually relented.

"Alright, seeing how sincerely you’ve apologized, I’ll still help you." Saying that, Chen Nuo first changed his appearance to that of the person from yesterday, and then he started to administer eye drops to Six Eared Macaque.

These eye drops were a mid-grade potion and had cost him five hundred Merit Points. Aside from using them now, they would be practically useless in the future.

If it weren’t for that Wind-Calming Pill, he wouldn’t have been willing to part with them, for money should be spent where it mattered, not thrown away in play.

Six Eared Macaque blinked, feeling that it could see clearly in front of it now, and said happily, "That feels so much better. I never realized how important my eyes were until now."

"Alright, take good care of this." Chen Nuo handed a Yellow Talisman to the Six-Eared Macaque.

"What’s this?" Six Eared Macaque took it and looked at the talisman. It hadn’t learned much at the Bodhi Temple, mimicking whatever others learned.

Although it recognized a few talismans, it could not understand the ones on this particular talisman. However, incomprehensible as they were, it could still feel the robust mana emanating from the symbols.

"This talisman is a Wind-Dispelling Talisman," Chen Nuo explained, "After using this Wind-Dispelling Talisman, not only can it blow away the wind coming towards you, but it will also send it back to the other side."

"Really, this talisman is that powerful?" Six Eared Macaque joyfully stowed away the talisman, and then said, "Then this talisman isn’t like that Wind-Calming Pill, with different levels, is it?"

Chen Nuo looked coolly at Six-Eared Macaque, "Do you think that after making a mistake once, we would make it a second time?"

Six-Eared Macaque scratched his head, "Shouldn’t, shouldn’t happen again."

"Alright, as long as you understand that." Chen Nuo stretched out his hand, "There seems to be no need for me here anymore, I think I should go back."

"First give me the Wind-Calming Pill, then I’ll talk to Lingji Bodhisattva about this matter. Once you rescue your master, you can continue on your journey."

Having developed a deep trust in Chen Nuo, Six-Eared Macaque promptly took the Wind-Calming Pill out of his pocket and placed it in Chen Nuo’s hand, then went to look for his master.

Xuanzang had been captured for quite a while now. He had to hurry and rescue Xuanzang; if it was too late, and Xuanzang got eaten by the demon, his hope of achieving Buddhahood would be dashed.

Chen Nuo looked at the Wind-Calming Pill, removed the barrier on it, then stowed away the magic artifact, smiling as he spoke to the system, "This Wind-Calming Pill can be considered a magic artifact, right?"

"It counts." The system answered, then couldn’t help but tease, "Host, you’re really shrewd."

"What about it, considering you’re the one who says I need to collect ten magic artifacts before I can get an invincible barrier, aren’t you even more shrewd?" Chen Nuo asked with a smirk.

The system played dead, choosing not to engage in the banter.

After collecting the artifact, Sha Wujing came out, looking worried as he asked, "Master, you gave him the talisman. If they start looking for the Wind-Calming Pill later, won’t they trace it back to you?"

"Don’t worry about that, the talisman burns after use."

With the talisman Chen Nuo had given, Six-Eared Macaque rescued Xuanzang, then turned towards the Yellow Wind Demon he had beaten to a near death state, picked up his weapon, and was about to attack again.

Someone stopped him, and when he looked up, he saw it was Lingji Bodhisattva, "Why have you come?"

"This Yellow Wind Demon was originally a rat in a temple who stole Buddha Ancestor’s lamp oil and turned into a demon. He came here to throw his weight around. Subduing him was a good deed, but let’s spare his life," said Lingji Bodhisattva.

"So it was just a rat." Seeing the Yellow Wind Demon who had reverted to a rat, Six-Eared Macaque recalled his frustrations here and became angry.

"Just a rat. When he wanted to eat my master, none of you came. Now when I’m about to kill him, you all come to his aid. I really don’t know whose side you’re on."

"But he didn’t harm your master, did he?" Lingji Bodhisattva said, "Despite his intentions, the fact that he didn’t cause any harm means he isn’t beyond redemption. I’ll take him back and reeducate him; he can change from bad to good."

Six-Eared Macaque snorted, "I don’t care what you do with him; my master has been rescued, that’s all that matters to me."

Xuanzang, still recovering from the shock, looked at the rat, "So the demon was actually a yellow weasel, quite unexpected."

"Alright, since all is well now, Lingji Bodhisattva, we must continue our journey," Six-Eared Macaque said, with no interest in small talk.

He was still annoyed; had it not been for Lingji Bodhisattva giving him a junior-level Wind-Calming Pill, he wouldn’t have faltered twice before this yellow weasel. So after Lingji took the weasel away, he didn’t want to talk much and was ready to leave.

"Sun Wukong, are you sure there’s nothing else left to worry about?" Lingji Bodhisattva asked.
