133: Chapter 133 Healing the Fiery Crow

Facing several pairs of eyes filled with anticipation, Li Yu smiled and said, "I can treat it."

The group was overjoyed.

At this moment, an abrupt voice rang out.

"Hmph! Such arrogance. Do you really think you're a god of beast taming? The whole body is riddled with blood toxin, and you say you can treat it just like that?" Wu Guifang walked over with a sullen face.

The group looked over with displeasure, but upon seeing it was Wu Guifang, they all chose to keep quiet. After all, regardless of anything else, the other party was a Senior Cultivator, not someone they could verbally provoke.

Li Yu, however, had no such reservations. He looked at Wu Guifang and said with a surprised expression, "Eh? Auntie, you haven't left yet?"

"Left? Why would I leave? My name is Wu Guifang, and I am also a Senior Cultivator!" Wu Guifang shouted.

"Oh, then are you not going to treat it?"

"Treat it? Kid, don't just talk without acting. That big guy is riddled with blood toxin and has lost a severe amount of blood; it's on the verge of dying. You say you can treat it, but don't end up killing it instead."

"Oh... so you can't treat it?" Li Yu blinked and looked at her curiously.

"I!" Wu Guifang was furious, but she couldn't bring herself to admit her lack of skill or that she couldn't treat it. She had to bite the bullet and say, "There's no equipment here, and there are no materials here. Haven't you heard that 'a clever housewife cannot cook without rice'? How can I treat it when there's nothing?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu roughly understood the situation. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said, "Auntie, if your skills are lacking, just practice more. At least... I don't need these excuses."

"Heh! You talk as if you're a god of beast taming!"

"Maybe I am?"

Caught up in the argument, Wu Guifang became agitated and shouted, "Fine! You young man have quite the ego! If you really have this ability, from now on, every time I, Wu Guifang, see you, I will call you Senior! But if you can't save it, you must honestly act as a rookie with the lowest seniority, and whenever you see me, you must call me Senior!"

"It's a deal, Auntie."

"My name is Wu Guifang!"

"Alright Auntie, no problem, Auntie."

Ignoring the bristling Wu Guifang, Li Yu went to Chen Qing's side, opened the glass case, and first fished out the Blazing Fire Crow.

Seeing this, Liu Zhanxing wanted to ask Li Yu to treat the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon first. After all, between the two beasts, in terms of value to Ningyang City, ten million Blazing Fire Crows couldn't compare to one Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon.

However, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, choosing to trust Li Yu instead.

At this moment, the condition of the Blazing Fire Crow was similar to the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon; its skin was shriveled, its body was covered in blood, and it had suffered severe blood loss, entering its final moments.

"It suddenly let out a miserable shriek, and then it turned into this," Yang Juan said with teary eyes.

"Leave it to me."

After saying this, Li Yu took a case of silver needles from his pocket, opened the lid, and took out a few thin, long ones. Under the bright lights, the silver needles were as thin as hair and sparkling.

The Rongrong Group and the War Wolf Squad watched nervously.

"Teacher, can silver needles also heal wounds?" A student leaned over to Wu Guifang and asked cautiously.

"Hmph!" Wu Guifang looked disdainful. "Silver needles only have the effect of relaxing muscles; they are old-fashioned items that are almost obsolete. Just watch him bluff."

The student suddenly realized.

At this moment, Li Yu moved. The slender silver needles were like a flash of cold light as they pierced into the Blazing Fire Crow's abdomen. He took out a few more, each one entering the body. He twisted and lifted them gently, and when he let go, the silver needles actually began to vibrate on their own.

The group watched in amazement, not daring to breathe.

A few students asked Wu Guifang, "Teacher, this technique seems like something we've never seen before. Is it some kind of lost technique?"

Wu Guifang scrutinized it for a while, then revealed a disdainful smile, saying, "What lost technique? It's just some old tricks, nothing more than showing off. It has no therapeutic effect. It seems this guy named Li Yu is just someone fishing for fame."

The students looked at each other and said nothing.

It wasn't their place to evaluate the skill level of a Senior Cultivator.

Li Yu applied 108 needles, turning the Blazing Fire Crow into a hedgehog. Beads of blood appeared on some of the needles. The entire Blazing Fire Crow remained motionless, and even its breathing became weak.

"Brother Li, it, the Blazing Fire Crow..." Yang Juan asked cautiously.

"Almost there."

Li Yu said this while taking his backpack from Chen Qing, searching through it with one hand.

"Almost what?"

Yang Juan was puzzled.

Wu Guifang sneered, "Almost dead."

Yang Juan was furious and glared at Wu Guifang. Why did such a decent-looking Breeder have such a foul mouth?

Fearing Wu Guifang's status as a Senior Cultivator, Yang Juan didn't dare to speak, but Song Jiang was more reckless and spoke up immediately: "If you don't know how to talk, shut up! Brother Li Yu is doing the cultivation, what does it have to do with you? If you want to watch the fun, be quiet!"

"You, a nameless Beast Tamer, dare to speak to me like that?" Wu Guifang was so angry that smoke was practically coming out of her nostrils.

"Attitude is mutual," Chen Danian said expressionlessly. "We never act like this toward Breeders we respect."

"That's right!" Song Jiang nodded.

Their attitude made Wu Guifang so angry that smoke was coming out of her nostrils, but she couldn't do anything openly.

At this moment, Li Yu pulled out the item he was looking for from his backpack—a Bronze-grade fire-type demon core.

He placed the demon core above the silver needles covering the Blazing Fire Crow. The vibration of the silver needles caused the demon core to miraculously hover above them. The fire spiritual energy followed the silver needles, splitting into 108 strands, and slowly permeated into the Blazing Fire Crow's body.

As the fire spiritual energy entered its body, after a short while, the Blazing Fire Crow's shriveled body gradually filled out. Its eyes slowly opened, and it actually seemed a bit more conscious, letting out a cry.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like an adrenaline shot, greatly boosting the spirits of the three from the War Wolf Squad and the two from the Rongrong Group.

"It's working!"

"The Blazing Fire Crow is awake, it opened its eyes!"

"That's great..."

The group cheered.

Zhang Erniu and Doll Girl also showed excited smiles. After all, being able to treat the Blazing Fire Crow meant Li Yu's method was correct, and this method would be equally effective on the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon.

Wu Guifang was stunned as she watched this scene.

"This is impossible! How can a few broken silver needles treat a dying beast? This is unscientific!" Wu Guifang shouted excitedly.

Before, she had been adamant that silver needle treatment was an old trick and couldn't possibly work. Now that the silver needles were effective, she was being slapped in the face, and Wu Guifang could even feel the strange looks from her students.

Her face instantly turned the color of liver.

Immediately, she looked toward the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon, and her spirits lifted. In order to salvage her reputation, she raised her voice and said to Li Yu, "I admit you have some skill. But Extraordinary and Monarch are not the same thing. Even if you lucked out and treated an Extraordinary beast, if you can't treat the Monarch-level Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon, you still lose."

"Oh my~ who is being so shameless? Earlier, she said both beasts should prepare for their funerals, and now that one has improved, she's back to making snide remarks. Hehe~ she's panicked, she's panicked, she's panicked, hehehe..."

Song Jiang said, speaking in a sarcastic, mocking tone while winking.

"You!" Wu Guifang gritted her teeth until they clicked. "You ignorant layman, shut up! If this kid really has ability, have him treat the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon. I want to see if such small silver needles can even pierce its skin!"

Song Jiang gave a disdainful snort and didn't respond to her.

The smiles of the others gradually faded. Even if they didn't like Wu Guifang, they had to admit that Monarch and Extraordinary, giant and small, were not the same thing.

The same silver needles might work on the Blazing Fire Crow, but on a behemoth a hundred meters long...

They wouldn't even be able to scratch it.

Everyone turned their questioning gazes toward Li Yu, only to see him looking calm, without the slightest sign of distress.

Could it be that he still had a way?
