Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Chapter 1385 - 517: Fiery Fire Flying Star

Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment but was still unconvinced, once again commanding his Day and Night Dual Souls to sweep across East Market Street.However, the Dual Souls remained ineffective,

"The Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master truly doesn’t know where he’s hiding."

Zhou Xuan immediately changed his approach, no longer focusing solely on where the "Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master" might be hiding, but instead pondering why the extremely powerful Heavenly Master wanted to target him.

"I’ve been walking on thin ice all my life, careful with every step, and I’ve never offended anyone—so why target me?"

While thinking about this, Zhou Xuan completely forgot about all his treasures.

Not to mention anything else, the Green and Red Fish currently being used for alchemy in the East City Ancient Hall could incite the actions of many influential figures.

Moreover, he possessed exceptional alchemy skills.

Even including himself—capable of manifesting the Day and Night Dual Souls, from a certain perspective, his body and soul were worth more than the Green and Red Fish.

"If it’s about snatching treasures, then there are too many people who want to target me."

Creditors were as numerous as lice, and someone had splattered paint on his doorstep without him knowing who did it.

After a long while of thinking without reaching a conclusion, Zhou Xuan decided to stop pondering and planned to check on the elixir’s refining process at the Ancient Hall.

Although the Star Sky Scroll could automatically refine elixirs, observing the elixir’s condition daily was still necessary.

He returned to his room, summoned his stone temple, and entered it with Alchemist Bai Lu. From Danzi, they received the flesh that could take them to the Ancient Hall.

...

The two pieces of flesh pierced into Zhou Xuan and Alchemist Bai Lu’s foreheads, and they immediately felt the viscous sensation of time.

After leaving the stone temple and entering Jingyi Store, the store was empty, but the books, newspapers, and phonograph that Zhou Xuan had ordered were still there.

Zhou Xuan and Alchemist Bai Lu pushed open the store’s door and threw all those newspapers and magazines into the Ancient Hall.

As for the cumbersome phonograph, Zhou Xuan first descended into the Ancient Hall from the doorway and then had Alchemist Bai Lu throw the machine down.

He caught the machine, and Old Bai Lu also jumped down, being caught by him.

Both men, tens of thousands of books, countless newspapers, and the phonograph all landed safely.

As Zhou Xuan was about to head deeper into the Ancient Hall, the Guardian of the Pill, Tiancan Monk, heard the noise and came over slowly.

"Are you here to steal the elixir?"

"Who are you?" Zhou Xuan turned his head and, upon seeing Tiancan Monk, immediately said, "Huh, what are you doing here? Didn’t I ask Little Changsheng to guard the elixir?"

With one glance, Tiancan Monk quickly bowed and said with a smile, "So it’s Master Zhou. I share a deep friendship with the Eternal Life Sect Leader. He’s preoccupied and can’t spare any attention to guard the elixir, so he asked me to do it."

"You two have a good relationship."

Of course, Zhou Xuan knew—among the God-level beings of the Heavenly Dome, feelings mean nothing; Tiancan Monk most likely received benefits from the Eternal Life Sect Leader.

"We’re colleagues, we’re colleagues."

This time, Tiancan Monk played it smart during his mortal interaction, no longer being aggressive towards Zhou Xuan, carrying himself with the demeanor of a Heavenly Vault Envoy.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader, already a paragon, set a good example for this monk. As long as he managed his relationship with Zhou Xuan comfortably, getting a few pills as a reward was a great matter.

He bent over again, pointing towards the Pill Furnace, and said, "Coming at night, Master Zhou must be concerned about the pills in the furnace. I’m here guarding them, daring not to look elsewhere, fearing those extremely bold villains who might sabotage your Pill Furnace."

"Really thoughtful."

After a polite remark, Zhou Xuan headed towards the Pill Furnace.

To the Ancient Hall Alchemists, the Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk were also outsiders; although they came at Zhou Xuan’s command to guard the elixir, they still held their suspicions.

For instance, now, with Manager Liu leading, five alchemists faced the Pill Furnace like statues, fearing Tiancan Monk might betray them.

Even though the five combined were far from being Tiancan Monk’s match, they needed to display their attitude towards guarding the pill.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuan was very pleased and said, "Manager Liu, you five brothers are indeed thoughtful, not letting my efforts in buying books and newspapers for you go in vain."

"Mr.,"

Upon seeing Zhou Xuan, Manager Liu bowed first in salute.

Zhou Xuan continued with a smile, "You five brothers can rest now; the Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk are in the same boat as us. They wouldn’t commit such acts as stealing the elixir."

He then pointed at the books, magazines, newspapers, and phonograph in the distance, saying to Manager Liu, "You’ve been imprisoned here for many years, unfamiliar with the outside world, go take a look at the books and newspapers; there are many interesting things."

Everyone immediately let out a philosophical shout, rushing forward like refugees seeing fatty meat.

Those books and newspapers were instantly seized in their hands, as they read and looked hungrily.

"Whoa, there are still some celebrities now? What great figures they have."

"Brother Liu, look, there are movies now, like moving comic books."

"And there’s an annual athletic meet; do you think if we went, we could win a prize or something?"

Speaking of which, these long-imprisoned alchemists seemed almost like mental patients, finding everything fresh and intriguing as they indulged in the sea of books, forgetting there was still a phonograph lying quietly on the ground, untouched.

Zhou Xuan walked over, pointed at the phonograph, and said, "Old Liu, take this to the Inner Hall."
