Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1187 - 453: The Butcher Outside the Car (Part 3)
Zhou Xuan kept waving his hand until Zhao Wuya was three or four hundred meters away from him, and Zhao became as small as a peanut. Then Zhou assumed a stance and recited the opening poem in a fairly normal voice,
"In a hundred years of life, countless paths unfold, Kings, lords, and immortals are made from mere mortals..."
After finishing reciting the poem, Zhao Wuya ran back over and said, "I heard it clearly, I heard it clearly."
"You heard every word clearly?"
"It’s as if you were speaking right next to my ear." Zhao Wuya replied.
"That’s good."
Zhou Xuan said, "Let’s set it here. I’ll go notify Old Hua later, and we’ll have the Mingjiang Prefecture government set up a stage for storytelling here."
With the location settled, Zhou Xuan’s work was considerably lightened.
The three of them headed towards East Market Street. As they walked, Zhao Wuya asked worryingly, "Brother Xuan, that elixir of yours, it must be very valuable, right?"
"It should be."
Zhou Xuan answered.
He only concocted some medicine powder, yet there were "fingers" that came to take the elixir, and after taking it, auspicious signs descended, which clearly indicated the value of this elixir.
Let alone a whole complete "Life Extension Pill."
Zhao Wuya added, "I won’t hide it from you, back when I was obsessed with alchemy and always foolishly musing, if an unparalleled elixir emerged from my pill furnace, with my meager skills, how could I protect it."
"And then?"
"Then, my worries proved redundant every time, as I couldn’t produce any useful elixirs."
"Hahaha." Alchemist Bai Lu was already laughing heartily beside them.
"You lousy alchemist, why laugh? A young master has wasted half a steel mill, can’t I at least dream a dream?"
After Zhao Wuya taunted Alchemist Bai Lu, he then said to Zhou Xuan, "But Brother Xuan, you’re different. You can genuinely produce good elixirs, aren’t you afraid someone might steal them?"
Zhou Xuan turned his head, looked seriously at Zhao Wuya, and said slowly, "I’m not afraid."
"Why?"
"Because I have you." Zhou Xuan replied.
"Do you think saying that will make me happy? Do I not know my own weight and worth?"
Zhao Wuya didn’t buy into Zhou Xuan’s words.
Zhou Xuan pointed to the sky and said, "You’re getting this worked up over a joke? Let me tell you, I don’t need to call reinforcements, someone is watching over my elixir."
He understood very well that the elixir was exceptionally eye-catching, and naturally, there would be people attempting to steal it,
However—he became the Dan Officer not by asking, but by insisting in front of incense fire Taoists, Tiancan Monks, and the Eternal Life Sect Leader.
If this batch of elixirs were to be destroyed, the incense fire Taoists would be fine, but Tiancan Monks and the Eternal Life Sect Leader, those two wouldn’t be able to just walk away.
"Those two will have to act as Gate Gods for me."
With these two Heavenly Dome God-level figures around, and with the Heavenly Fire Clan standing behind them, who would dare to come for the elixir?
"With two God-level figures standing guard, Mr. Newcomer Alchemist, your pedigree is certainly grander than most alchemy disciples."
Alchemist Bai Lu commented beside him, full of envy.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said nothing more,
In his view, quite a few would come for the elixir today, perhaps... it wouldn’t just be Jing Country people...
"The Buddha Country people haven’t stirred up anything for a long time; maybe they’re waiting right in front of this batch of elixirs."
Zhou Xuan thought to himself.
...
After Zhou Xuan, Zhao Wuya, and Alchemist Bai Lu left, Tiancan Monk was remotely seeing them off from the dirt hill outside the Xie Family’s Cave.
A portal of light appeared,
The Eternal Life Sect Leader walked out from it, looking somewhat pale.
"Sect Leader, were you... having too much fun yesterday?"
"Being forced to consume elixirs by the Palace Master, isn’t this the result?"
The Eternal Life Sect Leader retorted irritably.
"The elixir Zhou Xuan created is excessively precious. He’s going to tell tales today, and there will likely be quite a few people coming to snatch the elixir."
"Then just cut them down when they come, because who’d dare snatch something from the Heavenly Dome?"
The Eternal Life Sect Leader remarked.
Tiancan Monk nodded, saying, "Indeed... Speaking of which, Sect Leader, since we’re finally coming to the mortal world, you should also take me to taste Blood Food."
"Old Broken Robe, aren’t you guys the Alien Ghosts with the most Buddha energy? You should have minds thinking of emptiness and void, so why crave Blood Food once reaching the human world?"
"Staying in that birdcage for too long, what talk is there of ancient Buddhas?"
Tiancan Monk stated, "Blood Food, I simply must have it."
"Well then... After handling things, I’ll take you to King Xishan."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader remarked lightly, "The whole Fox Clan is my raised livestock. Pick whichever fox you fancy, eight incense sticks, seven incense sticks, choose well, eat to your fill, eat till you’re satisfied."
While saying this, he gently patted Tiancan Monk’s stomach.
Tiancan Monk could hardly contain his drool...
...
The road between the Capital Mansion and Mingjiang Prefecture is long,
Most people in the Tunnel Armor Sect possess extraordinary escape skills, and traveling to Mingjiang Prefecture, starting out overnight, isn’t all that time-consuming.
But Hulu Taoist felt that such a high-profile operation to capture Zhou Xuan would instead be cumbersome.
So, their whole group disguised themselves as a merchant caravan, traveling by traditional horse-drawn carriage.
But even with horse-drawn carriages, with the Taoist "Armored Horse" tied to their legs, their horsepower was unmatched, covering the journey in less than half a day.
Zhao Youting sat in the foremost carriage of the caravan, occasionally lifting the carriage curtain to view the path ahead.
"Where are we now?" Zhao Longhu asked with his eyes slightly closed.
He was completely at ease now, as there were three Supreme Ancestors in the caravan and another three following secretly.
With all six elders of the Tunnel Armor Sect in action, what on earth couldn’t be tackled?
"Ahead is Mercy Mountain. Once over the mountain, we’ll reach Mingjiang Prefecture."
Zhao Youting said.
"Almost there, almost there."
Zhao Longhu remarked, "This trip, we brothers even have the fox borrowing the tiger’s power... All six Supreme Ancestors together, Zhou Xuan won’t be able to escape even with wings."
"Indeed..." Just as Zhao Youting was about to agree, 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Suddenly, a loud shouting voice came from outside the carriage.
"Slaughter a little pig, no charge, free slaughter service."
"Slaughter an old pig, twelve copper coins, fair price, no deception."
A butcher’s voice, "losing money to gain attention," carried into the carriage, and instantly, Zhao Longhu’s and Zhao Youting’s expressions both changed...
