Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1158 - 444: The "Sky-High Price" of the Blood Well (2)
Zhou Xuan laughed and teased, "Did you see that, Little Brain? Always talking about art, art, art doesn’t fill your belly, you know. Get grounded and fill your stomach first, that’s the priority."
"Those words are too crude! Have some decency, have some decency!"
Little Brain cried out in pain, but his mouth was not lenient at all. He even got a bit protective of his food, singing loudly whenever someone got too close.
"Hmm, preaching decency while your body is being very honest."
Everyone was busy "having their meal," and Zhou Xuan seemed a bit bored.
Fortunately, he had so many ways to fix his boredom,
He tore a chunk of flesh, sat on the Black Water, and used Bone Teeth to cut the meat piece by piece, throwing them into the water.
The Twin Fish had just arrived and didn’t have the advantage in size, so it was quite challenging for them to compete for food.
But now with Zhou Xuan’s offerings, the two fish obediently swam over, following the aroma of the blood, and pecked heartily at the meat pieces Zhou Xuan threw.
At this moment,
Zhou Xuan seemed like an old man feeding koi fish in the park, very leisurely...
...
"Everyone’s full," Zhao Jinjia and Wan Cangshan were completely eaten by all in the Secret Realm.
The people in the Secret Realm knew well that "Black Water, Blood Well" were the big shots, so when eating, they just had enough to satisfy their cravings and didn’t overindulge.
For the moment, host and guests were all happy and satisfied.
After everyone left, Zhou Xuan said to Blood Well, "Well, I’ve left quite a lot of incense with you, two sets of nine sticks of incense, plus the previous stock, it’s almost like three complete sets of nine sticks of incense."
Standing tall, he said, "This time, I want a divination."
Blood Well’s eyes knew that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
Moreover, they knew that only by helping Zhou Xuan significantly with the divination would he bring hard-to-get dishes next time...
Buddha Country is pressuring Jing Country, and war is imminent... chaotic times are about to come.
And once chaos erupts, top experts will fall like cut grass — those are truly great dishes! Famous dishes!
Blood Well’s eyes are not just about getting a full meal once, but they want every meal to be full.
So their gaze was filled with a fervent determination to help Zhou Xuan with a big feast.
Zhou Xuan then said, "The Heavenly Dome has shown a sign, instructing me to produce enough evidence within seven days to prove that I am the one and only Dan Officer."
"I want a divination to find out what exactly this evidence is?"
Zhou Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for an answer.
And in the City God Temple, it started to snow heavily.
This snow was much heavier than the snow blocking the mountain, with snowflakes like goose feathers, quickly covering the entire temple in silver.
In the silver blood scene, a Blood Spring emerged,
The Blood Spring slowly sprinkled, tracing out a line of words on the silver ground. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Nine sticks of incense, three."
Zhou Xuan was stunned at first when he saw it, then he burst out laughing and pointed at the blood words to mock, "Well, you’ve changed, getting greedy. Are you asking based on my stock?"
Blood Well remained silent, only silent.
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and asked a new question, "Then let me ask you this, my ’Day and Night Wandering God’ manifestation, the Old Incense told me that the Day Soul, Night Soul needs nurturing, and if done well, the Day and Night Dual Souls will help me comprehend the Dao.
Is this true?"
As soon as he said this, he added, "I wasn’t thinking of paying for this question, if you don’t want me to get a freebie, then I’ll move on to the next question."
Zhou Xuan now knew Blood Well’s high charges and picky taste; those sacrifices needed to be used sparingly,
If he could get free information, he would; if not, at least he would try to negotiate.
This time, Blood Well actually agreed to Zhou Xuan’s request for a freebie; none of the eyes on the walls moved, and it quickly wrote the word "True" on the snow.
The word "True" came as recognition from Blood Well, meaning that the importance of the Day and Night Dual Souls had been acknowledged by at least two Heavenly Venerable Level beings.
"You really let me get a freebie, Well, you’re not greedy after all. Still a good comrade."
Zhou Xuan immediately went to the next question, "Well, how should I nurture the Day and Night Dual Souls?"
Blood swirled again over the white snow,
This time, Blood Well did not give Zhou Xuan a chance to get a freebie and instead asked for a similarly high price.
"Nine sticks of incense, three."
"Again with the three sets of nine sticks of incense, Well, you’re lacking in virtue."
Zhou Xuan shook his head at the price.
He had originally thought his stockpile was sufficient to "fully engage" with Blood Well, but never expected the Well to directly raise the price!
Come on, act like a person, Well!
Zhou Xuan thought for a bit; the prices for these two questions were high; if he used up all his stockpile at once, he would surely feel the pain.
"Let’s start with a cheaper question."
Zhou Xuan contemplated his strategy and then asked, "Well, let’s move directly to the next question."
"I came to Yellow Field Prefecture, ultimately, to resurrect Hua Zi. Tell me, how can I bring Hua Zi back to the human world?"
This question, in fact, Zhou Xuan already had half the answer.
Alchemist Bai Lu, the old Alchemist, told Zhou Xuan — refining a Qi Pill allows for a "Heaven and Earth Exchange."
Offer a well-crafted elixir to Heaven and Earth and buy back Hua Zi’s life.
