Seeing everyone looking at him with such "respectful deference," Wu Chu nodded. "Then I'll give it a try! Let's see whether any of these treasures are fated with me."
Wu Chu closed his eyes and sent his divine sense toward the gourds.
The first, the Purple-Gold Gourd, clearly resisted him.
However, the force of its resistance was not particularly strong. He could have picked it by force, but that would have been rather ugly.
Their cultivation levels were not all that far apart. Who would fail to notice if he used force?
As their eldest senior brother, he had to set an example. Otherwise, once these fellows became Saints in the future, why would they be willing to show him any respect?
The second, the Red Gourd, actually seemed somewhat disgusted by him. Damn it!
The third...
The fourth...
Until the last, somewhat underdeveloped little Black Gourd, Wu Chu's eyes widened slightly. He then directly took out the Primordial Spirit Pearl and tossed it over.
The Primordial Spirit Pearl had remained on him ever since he entered Primordial Chaos.
Sensing the aura of Primordial Chaos within the Primordial Spirit Pearl, the little gourd wriggled excitedly. Then endless Chaos Spiritual Energy flowed out from the Primordial Spirit Pearl and entered the little gourd.
In the end, the little gourd even wrapped the entire Primordial Spirit Pearl in divine light and swallowed it.
Then the little gourd broke free from the Gourd Vine on its own and flew toward Wu Chu.
Thank goodness! At least he had not lost face.
Wu Chu sighed in relief and caught the little gourd.
If he, the eldest senior brother, failed to obtain even one, it would be utterly humiliating if word got out.
After examining the little gourd, Wu Chu looked at everyone. "Your turn!"
