Chapter 1372: Chapter 513: Counterattack Against Xianhuo (Part 3)
"Exactly."
"I’m not going." Tiancan Monk said sternly, "Guarding pills is dog work! I’m a dignified God-level monk, how could I do such a disgraceful thing? How would I face everyone if this got out? Shameful!"
"This is guarding pills for Master Zhou, how is that shameful? Many gods want this chance, but don’t have this kind of connection!" Eternal Life Sect Leader persuaded.
Tiancan Monk clenched his teeth and refused to go.
"Shameful! Being a dog is shameful!"
"Motherfucker." Eternal Life Sect Leader also got genuinely angry and pulled out five Joy Guarding Pills, handing them to Tiancan Monk: "Five more pills, if you still don’t guard the pills, then go back to heaven, I’ll find another God-level to do it."
"With fifteen pills of such potency, I can’t believe I can’t find someone to help."
Angrily said Eternal Life Sect Leader.
Tiancan Monk suddenly grabbed the pills and said, "For the sake of our camaraderie, I’ll reluctantly agree."
"Is it for my sake? I didn’t want to point that out." Eternal Life Sect Leader sneered, "Fifteen pills, and you’re willing to be a dog?"
"Elixirs are blessings of Heaven and Earth, the essence of all things. It’s my duty to guard the pill for Heaven and Earth, to accumulate virtue for all beings, nothing about being a dog, that’s nasty."
Tiancan Monk was about to head to the East City Ancient Hall, but after taking two steps, he returned, grabbed Eternal Life Sect Leader’s hand, and said,
"Sect Leader, I always feel there’s a great friendship between us. Next time there’s something good, promise me, don’t hog it all."
"Don’t worry, if there’s a bowl of soup for me, you get a sip at least."
"Your analogy sounds disgusting, but savor it carefully, it’s fragrant with friendship. You’re really a trustworthy colleague."
"Stop talking bullshit, you head to the East City Ancient Hall, I’ll seek out Mr."
Eternal Life Sect Leader directed Tiancan Monk, directly assigning tasks.
With the pill in hand, you’re the boss! Having the pill is amazing!
Tiancan Monk asked, "Aren’t you going back to heaven to report? Seeking out Mr. isn’t wasting time?"
"Loyalty display, if I don’t report to Mr., how would he know my efforts and achievements?"
"There’s learning in this?"
"Just learn it, you bald donkey head."
Eternal Life Sect Leader left smugly.

Zhou Xuan had set up the phonograph, projector, newspapers, and magazines, and also went to the gold and silver jewelry shop and jade store on the first floor, picking out various styles of jewelry for Zhou Lingyi, the eldest sister-in-law, and second master’s wife.
His taste in jewelry aesthetics wasn’t great, but he knew one thing,
Zhou Lingyi was young, naturally choosing lively styles, while the eldest sister-in-law and senior master were in charge of Zhou Family’s Troupe operations, often meeting major clients, so jewelry should be steady.
Second master’s wife worked at a film company and loved to chase trends; whatever movie stars wore, he bought those styles.
With store clerks’ help, Zhou Xuan bought about ten sets of jewelry, from necklaces to bracelets, all packed nicely.
As he carried large and small bags, looking for Little Fuzi and Hua Zi, the two were eating candied haws and fiddling with new toys.
"Are you having fun?"
"It’s so fun here, everything is available." Mu Hua timidly said.
Little Fuzi also said, "Young Master, I bought some toys for Hua Zi."
"Didn’t you buy anything for yourself?"
"I just... I don’t need anything... My father is sick..." Little Fuzi was very considerate.
Zhou Xuan then remembered Little Fuzi had a seriously ill father, he quickly said, "Usually, Young Master is busy and hasn’t cared for you enough. Just these few days, I’m going to Ping Shui Prefecture, bring your father to the city, have him checked at Shande Hospital."
"My money... maybe isn’t enough..."
"Put it on my tab."
After saying, Zhou Xuan gathered Little Fuzi and Mu Hua to go home. Just as he reached the department store entrance, he saw Eternal Life Sect Leader standing across the street.
Eternal Life Sect Leader had looked around East Market Street for Sister Cui and learned Zhou Xuan was at the department store.
He came to the mall intending to let a kite find Zhou Xuan, but the kite couldn’t detect—Zhou Xuan’s "Hundred Human Phenomena" was activated, hiding his trail and incense.
As he was baffled, Zhou Xuan approached, calling out: "Little Changsheng, you’re standing here, looking for me?"
Upon hearing this, Eternal Life Sect Leader knew the middle-aged boss was Zhou Xuan and said repeatedly,
"Master Zhou, the situation has changed, I have urgent business to discuss."
"Very important?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"It’s about your more than six hundred elixirs," Eternal Life Sect Leader replied.
Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Wait for me a moment."
He returned to the jewelry store, found the store owner: "Owner, help me, send my car and friends back to East Market Street."
In Jing Country during this era, the service wasn’t as good as Zhou Xuan’s previous life, buying something in a supermarket wouldn’t get you doorstep delivery.
But it was selective, Zhou Xuan had just made a lavish purchase, a rare big client, so the owner naturally wanted to cultivate.
"If the owner instructs, I will certainly comply, but East Market Street stretches for miles, which house?"
The owner asked respectfully.
"Drive to East Market Street, my friends will naturally tell you."
Zhou Xuan led the owner to his car, placed the bags in the trunk, and after sending off Little Fuzi and Hua Zi, he went to Eternal Life Sect Leader.
"So, what’s the matter?"
"This place isn’t suitable to discuss." Eternal Life Sect Leader pointed to the nearby teahouse.
"Then let’s go, my treat."
Zhou Xuan restrained his impatience and went to the teahouse’s private room.
After the doors were closed, Eternal Life Sect Leader said, "Master Zhou, people from Zoroastrianism want to bribe me to deal with you."
