Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Chapter 1378 - 515: Living Pill Furnace (Part 2)

The Eternal Life Sect Leader decided to help Zhou Xuan and Zhao Wuya, but before he could finish speaking, Zhou Xuan declined, saying, "No need, I’ve already chosen the candidate for the living pill furnace.""Who?"

"Me," Zhou Xuan said calmly.

"You?" The Eternal Life Sect Leader said incredulously, "Master Zhou, being a living medicine furnace is a very dangerous task, let me do it, I have experience."

He had helped the Palace Master on the Heavenly Dome with medicine transformation several times, and now Zhao Wuya’s madness started with the Joyful Longevity Pill.

The Joyful Longevity Pill is originally an eleventh-grade elixir on the Heavenly Dome, but its grade is insufficient, its potency poor, even helping with medicine transformation poses extremely low risk.

This was the basis for the Eternal Life Sect Leader’s willingness to perform medicine transformation.

Zhou Xuan, however, was unwilling, asking, "Eternal Life Sect Leader, what’s your success rate for medicine transformation?"

The Eternal Life Sect Leader replied sincerely, "At least ninety percent."

"Ninety percent? If you encounter the unluckiest ten percent, wouldn’t you become one of those madmen in the Medicine King Hall?" Zhou Xuan said.

Upon hearing these words, the Eternal Life Sect Leader shuddered, yes, if he encountered that ten percent, wouldn’t he also go mad?

He didn’t know what charm Zhou Xuan possessed, to make him, such a life-valuing "ancient god," completely disregard that ten percent chance of madness.

"Dangerous things can’t just rely on others to handle, my life is life, are your lives not considered life?"

Zhou Xuan thus spoke.

He insisted on helping Zhao Wuya with medicine transformation primarily because he wanted to experience and understand the essence of the elixir.

He wanted the elixir to replace Jing Country’s incense, becoming the new source of strength, completely freeing from the Heavenly Fire Clan’s control.

To achieve such a grand plan, understanding the essence of the elixir was essential.

And now, transforming medicine for Zhao Wuya was a good opportunity.

Of course, Zhou Xuan indeed didn’t need the Eternal Life Sect Leader to take the risk—for others to take the risks for his sole benefit, was never his pleasure.

Just Zhou Xuan’s casual words "my life is life, your lives not considered life" landed in the ears of the Eternal Life Sect Leader, causing a thunderous shock within him, freezing him in place.

In the Heavenly Dome, he only knew that those of the Heavenly Fire Clan’s lives were counted, and he, though a star among the Ancient Gods, and a favored figure before the Changsheng Palace Master—understood he was just a blade of grass amidst the storm that enveloped him.

Once the storm began, the first person to suffer was him.

At this moment, he remembered the scenes of Zhou Xuan standing up for King Xishan, and in his heart he sighed, "No wonder King Xishan is so loyal to Master Zhou... Master Zhou truly has a Daoist demeanor and the spirit of a Saint."

"Little Changsheng, tell me, how do we perform medicine transformation?"

Zhou Xuan began to inquire about the specifics of medicine transformation.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader explained promptly, "Actually, it’s quite simple, Master Zhou, you use your perception to connect with the young Daoist Zhao Wuya.

Once the connection is tight, the potency within Daoist Zhao’s body will impact your secret realm, at that time you only need to do one thing, that is to open up your secret realm, and let the potency impact freely."

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he asked, "That simple?"

"Living medicine furnace’s transformation is indeed this simple, only the procedure is slightly brutal."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader responded.

Zhou Xuan proceeded to act, immediately releasing his perception to connect with Zhao Wuya.

His perception was too overwhelming, when fully released, it truly had the momentum of overturning mountains and seas, even the Eternal Life Sect Leader didn’t dare directly face such a powerful perception, retreating several meters away.

This robust perception, like invisible anchor hooks, kept connecting to Zhao Wuya’s flesh, and then deepened, hooking into his secret realm.

Afterwards, as Zhou Xuan’s perception hooks anchored into Zhao Wuya’s secret realm, these anchors began to tighten and pull, causing the secret realm’s door to be pulled open to a gap.

Shortly thereafter, the gap widened until it resembled a palace door.

Zhao Wuya’s secret realm was now completely open to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan saw that Zhao Wuya’s secret realm was unexpectedly a stretch of mountain ranges with a beautiful, natural scenery, needless to say, the gentle sunlight carried a Buddha nature.

"Those consuming the potency indeed have something different."

It was Zhou Xuan’s first realization of the bodily changes in someone who consumed elixirs—the secret realm’s loose closure.

For a normal person, if the secret realm is forcibly torn open, the secret realm would be directly destroyed.

But for someone who consumed elixirs, the secret realm was like a door slightly ajar, if forcibly pulled, it would only hook the door open, revealing every detail within the secret realm.

As soon as Zhao Wuya’s secret realm was opened, there arose a red mist within his picturesque "Divine Revelation Secret Realm."

Zhou Xuan grasped the Law of Destiny in the First Realm; in the human world, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires are visualized to him.

This red mist represented joyous emotion.

However, the joy from the Joyful Longevity Pill was too intense, its red color excessively vivid.

In a moment, the red mist shrouded Zhao Wuya’s secret realm entirely, then condensed into a great river like a tide, following the anchor hooks of perception, crashing toward Zhou Xuan’s secret realm.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Sounds of floodwaters impacting dam gates echoed continually inside Zhou Xuan’s body.

The violent impact did not last long, as Zhou Xuan actively opened the doors of his secret realm, allowing the crimson mist of the Joyful Longevity Pill to flow into the depths of his secret realm.
