Chapter 1364: Chapter 511: The Great Elixir Guardian (Part 2)
"Then for the elixirs I’ve created, going above and beyond like this... shouldn’t the Heavenly Dome show some appreciation?"
Zhou Xuan said.
"Naturally, there will be recognition, but the decision on the reward is beyond my control."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader mentioned this as he patted his chest fervently, saying, "But Master Zhou, please rest assured, although many things under the Heavenly Dome are handled unfairly, the matter of elixirs is always treated appropriately, every elixir corresponds to its due reward, never shortchanged."
"Really?"
"Certainly true, all the Pill Masters and Alchemists under heaven, who among them isn’t enjoying good food and drink, especially considering a once-in-a-lifetime alchemist genius such as you, Mr.?"
The Eternal Life Sect Leader quickly explained.
Zhou Xuan nodded, naturally leading into his next batch of elixirs: "Since that’s the case, I won’t hold back, I have another batch of elixirs currently being crafted."
"You mean there’s more elixirs being crafted?" This time, the Eternal Life Sect Leader clearly saw—he saw Zhou Xuan’s formidable capability.
To first produce a batch of 644 elixirs and then to swiftly move onto crafting another batch right away.
Zhou Xuan’s alchemy technique needs no further mention, but the issue is, where does he get so many alchemical materials?
While the Human Pill is formed from ’human desires,’ and ’human desires’ are easier to obtain than the materials needed for Qi Pill, the so-called "easier to find" is relative, and the actual difficulty in finding these materials remains considerable.
"Master Zhou, your prowess truly impresses me."
"Impresses you already? I haven’t even revealed the main point yet." Zhou Xuan said, "My second batch of elixirs uses a Joy Demon Tumor as the material, this tumor, which is the Desire Pill, I had Alchemist Bai Lu inspect it, if crafted properly, it’s at least a third-grade elixir..."
"What’s the grade?"
The Eternal Life Sect Leader felt his ideological framework collapsing.
"Third-grade."
"Master Zhou, such jokes shouldn’t be made lightly, third-grade elixirs, in Jing Country with so many fire pits, even if the fires blaze all year, not many can be crafted."
"What’s there to joke about."
Zhou Xuan coldly replied, "Except, with my means, my time within the Ancient Soul Returning Hall is limited, fortunately with my Magic Artifact, I can craft that elixir... this elixir has immense value, and since I won’t be staying there, thus—"
"Master Zhou, Little Changsheng volunteers to go to the Ancient Soul Returning Hall on East Market Street, to guard the elixir for the Master."
"Really?" Zhou Xuan outwardly feigned inquiry; in truth, he wanted the Eternal Life Sect Leader to guard the elixir.
Though there is a Hall Master in the Ancient Hall, the Hall Master is still too weak—if a God-level being were to guard, it would be as solid as a fortress, only a Heavenly God Level presence could seize the elixir.
"Only wish for the Master to give Little Changsheng an opportunity to contribute, Little Changsheng will certainly devote himself tirelessly."
"Good! You then, go to the Ancient Hall to guard the elixir for me."
After Zhou Xuan said this, he also addressed the distribution of elixirs, saying: "According to our agreement, for crafting one hundred elixirs, I’ll give you seven—among these elixirs, you can first take forty-five elixirs,
The second batch of elixirs is too precious, you still cannot touch them, therefore, from the first batch, I’ll allocate you another forty-five, together totaling ninety."
"Hehehe..." The Eternal Life Sect Leader was instantly delighted to hear he could receive "ninety" elixirs.
"These elixirs, once you take them back to the Heavenly Dome, do help promote them a bit, promote them to the extent that the Heavenly Fire Clan members are eagerly vying to consume my elixirs, don’t be like fools believing ’fine wine fears no deep alleys’."
"Master Zhou, rest assured, once I’m back at the Heavenly Dome, I will undoubtedly impress them with eloquence, let those Heavenly Fire Clan members, savor my eloquence."
"All right, that’s it, I’m tired, going back to the shop for some rest."
"Little Changsheng sees Master Zhou off with respect."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader bowed deeply towards Zhou Xuan, entirely forgetting the unpleasantness of Zhou Xuan forcing him to perform a ceremony for the Fox Clan yesterday.
"How can calling Master Zhou to perform a ceremony be considered coercion?"
"To speak of Master Zhou too, he’s remarkably forgiving, in yesterday’s Fengliu Opera, there were many off-key and discordant parts, yet he never pointed them out, leaving me so much face."
"The more face left, the less improvement gained, Master Zhou is just too lenient."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader was quite perceptive—if Zhou Xuan couldn’t craft elixirs, then he would sever ties with Zhou Xuan to avoid inviting trouble upon himself,
but now that Zhou Xuan can craft six hundred pills from one batch, Zhou Xuan becomes his ’benevolent foster father.’
...
Zhou Xuan walked out of the alley, without utilizing the "Divine Soul Day Trip" technique for a swift return to the Jingyi Shop, instead, leisurely strolling through the streets.
At this moment, he still wore the appearance of ’Old Bamboo,’ and while walking on the street, he occasionally was greeted by Old Bamboo’s friends.
"Old Bamboo, haven’t you gone back home? Came back so soon?"
"Oh, don’t mention it, was already on the train home, but then got called back by a client, the latest framing job, it’s being rushed urgently."
"Hey, having someone urge you? Old Bamboo, landed a big deal."
"Not too bad, not too bad."
Zhou Xuan handled the greetings one by one and continued towards the shop, the more he strolled, the more he realized the power of the ’Hundred Human Phenomena.’
Some ’Disguise Secret Techniques’ in the martial world of Jing Country change only the external appearance of a person, plainly speaking, it’s just donning a human skin.
But ’Hundred Human Phenomena’ is more than just having an empty shell, without a divine soul.
For instance, the current Zhou Xuan clearly feels himself experiencing an old sensation.
If he walks a few more steps, there’s a sense of breathlessness, his bones are somewhat fragile, if he makes a large movement, he can even hear the sound of his joints rubbing against each other.
