Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1186 - 453: The Butcher Outside the Car (2)
He poured out two more elixirs from the gourd, handed them to the Eternal Life Sect Leader, and said, "That Zhou Xuan child has his struggles, I understand. If he doesn’t use his first batch of elixirs for the Heavenly Dome, it doesn’t really matter,
but you must keep a strict watch over him. Only when he successfully creates a complete elixir can the pair of Green and Red Fish be his."
"Yes, yes."
"Let’s continue savoring the elixir and admiring the flowers. Today, the flowers have bloomed so vibrantly. Our Changsheng Palace hasn’t seen such a spectacle in many years."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader faced Qing Yangyu’s enthusiastic invitation with a silent groan,
Upon entering the palace, he had already taken an elixir but merely held it in his mouth, choosing not to consume it. Having received two more now, if he doesn’t chew on one soon—his mouth won’t be able to conceal them.
The three elixirs were sizable; if he held them all, his mouth would puff up as if he could hang an oil can from it. How could he hide them from Qing Yangyu?
Considering this, he had no choice but to reluctantly chew on one elixir.
As the Human Pill exploded in his mouth, it was akin to a fresh cow eye bursting, filling his oral cavity with juice,
and subsequently, a rank, unpleasant odor grew progressively stronger within his mouth,
However, when this repugnant smell expanded a thousandfold, nearly causing the Eternal Life Sect Leader to expel all three elixirs simultaneously, the substance changed in nature,
transforming from a pungent, nauseating scent to a rich floral fragrance, soothing and refreshing,
The Eternal Life Sect Leader felt an inexplicable full-body exhilaration, and simultaneously, the things he saw changed drastically.
The cold, eerie Changsheng Palace indeed blossomed with rare flowers and exotic herbs,
In the dark sky, gentle sunlight rose, and Qing Yangyu was no longer the "ugly fat man with four fleshy lumps on his throat,"
He appeared as a refined and graceful figure, with broad sleeves and a gentle demeanor, truly living up to the name "Qing Yang," which carries an artistic sense.
The Eternal Life Sect Leader then looked at his own hands, and they were covered in festering sores, he felt nauseated just looking at himself.
At this moment, just like every other time he consumed an elixir, he couldn’t distinguish whether the humans’ eyes were flawed or the Heavenly Fire Clan’s eyes were defective,
or perhaps everyone’s eyes were flawed, and only after consuming the elixir could one see what the world truly was?
The interplay between reality and illusion, truth and falsehood, had blurred to the point where the Eternal Life Sect Leader could no longer discern them.
"Why bother distinguishing? It’s better to take advantage of this magnificent light and bask in it; that’s the proper way."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader’s thoughts were becoming increasingly muddled,
He saw that within Changsheng Palace, at some unknown moment, a clear spring had begun to flow, forming a small pond.
The pond was crystal clear, and under the sunlight, it shone like amber, so he immediately stripped off his clothes and, together with Qing Yangyu, plunged into the pond to enjoy the refreshing embrace of the spring...
...
Night was still night,
Changsheng Palace remained lifelessly stagnant,
Only two large, pale lumps of flesh continuously rolled and laughed within a bloody muddy pit, babbling incoherently, producing sounds of utter frenzy...
...
The next day, Zhou Xuan, together with Zhao Wuya and Mr. Bai Lu, went to find a suitable venue for storytelling.
This time, the content of the storytelling was of little importance,
The crucial point was that this storytelling would complete the rebuilding of Mingjiang Prefecture, with Sister Cui conjuring up an enormous Pill Furnace from thin air, to create the very first "Heaven and Earth Life-extending Pill."
For such a major task, they must choose a spot with auspicious feng shui—the main area must be spacious.
During their search, Zhao Wuya was rather curious, and said to Zhou Xuan, "Brother Xuan, this time as you are performing alchemy, I’ve heard many foxes will be killed."
"Mm."
Zhou Xuan did not deny it, saying, "Sister Cui wants to create such a large Pill Furnace in a short time. She can’t do it alone; she needs Fox Clan blood for the sacrificial ritual."
"That’s a tragedy in the human world."
"Who says it’s not tragic?"
Zhou Xuan nodded, affirming what was said.
"I’ve heard that as soon as King Xishan returned yesterday, he gathered the Snow Mountain Fox Clan to select foxes for sacrifice,
However, this time, the conditions he offered were generous."
"What conditions?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Those who volunteer for the sacrifice will have their rank in the Fox Gate raised by one level."
The ranks in the Fox Gate are "Hu, Deng, Chang, Qing" It’s said that the Taoist hierarchy matters, but the Wild Immortal Ancestral Hall is where hierarchy truly matters.
With higher rank, the annual benefits increase significantly.
"Have the foxes been gathered?"
Zhou Xuan asked.
"They assembled in just one hour; the Fox Clan is not afraid of death, gathering five hundred of them."
Zhao Wuya said.
Alchemist Bai Lu then commented, "The Fox Gate truly deserves to be the foremost Wild Immortals group, their family spirit is indeed fierce."
"The Fox Clan is quite fierce." Zhou Xuan asked Zhao Wuya again, "Hold on, you didn’t leave the Jingyi Shop; where did you get your information?"
"I was told by Sister Cui over breakfast."
Zhao Wuya said frankly.
"Well, let’s not chat anymore; that place looks good."
By now, Zhou Xuan and his companions had arrived at Xie Family’s Cave, which was geographically shaped like a basin,
The center of the cave was sunken, with surrounding areas gently sloping upwards. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"In this cave, it acts like a megaphone. If I speak from the center, even those standing two or three hundred meters away at the edge can hear me clearly."
To test this effect, Zhou Xuan specifically had Zhao Wuya stand farther away from him.
"Stand farther, even farther..."
