"This elixir is worth a high price."
He was already sowhat arrogant, and upon thinking that he could use Zhou Xuan to refine the world’s Miracle Pill, he didn’t hide his arrogance and imdiately laughed heartily.
"Heaven and Earth treat well, gifting with imnse riches."
Fish Bodhisattva laughed wildly, feeling no sense of embarrassnt.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
In the wind within the "Spirit Realm," the sour odor beca more pronounced, and Alchemist Bai Lu’s fear continued to intensify.
"So the Great Master has the Star Law on his side, but this Star Law is of no use either."
Alchemist Bai Lu, who had previous combat experience, imdiately shouted, "Great Master, the tricks of that Demon Monk are not just as imposing as a mountain; he also has an eerie Buddhist Chant,
once this chant is activated, it’s formidable indeed. Regardless of whether your body turns to nothingness or you are a natural ’Spirit,’ formless and featureless, you can’t escape the chant."
As he spoke more urgently, he shouted, "Great Master, if you have reliable allies, summon them now, to face this Demon Monk together."
After speaking, he paused for a mont, as if he’d made so decision, and added,
"However, if you have no allies, quickly sever your connection to the Spirit Realm and leave swiftly; the activation of the chant requires so ti."
Alchemist Bai Lu was advising Zhou Xuan to flee first.
In response, Zhou Xuan asked, "Alchemist Bai, if I run away, what about you?"
"I... I have my ways to escape too. Nine hundred years ago, I managed to escape, and now, I can still escape."
However, as Alchemist Bai Lu spoke to this point, his confidence waned.
Nine hundred years ago, he escaped the chant by luck, and because Fish Bodhisattva was unfamiliar with his thods, he survived by chance,
but now, thinking about escaping again, he neither has the strength nor the luck, and fears that he can’t escape anymore.
Zhou Xuan felt a touch of warmth in his heart; only a person as upright as Alchemist Bai Lu would only refine Qi Pills and not tarnish his conscience by using people as materials to refine those conscience-defying "Human Pills."
He lightly waved his hand and said, "Alchemist Bai, don’t worry, I have other thods, and I’m not afraid of that Demon Monk."
"Other thods, what other thods?" Alchemist Bai asked.
Zhou Xuan smiled but did not answer, while in his heart, he pondered, "What thods? Of course, to sell you out."
"Zhou Xuan, if I were you, I’d listen to this forthright alchemist and run for my life with my tail between my legs."
While gathering Buddhist Sect Hand Seals, Fish Bodhisattva spoke, provoking Zhou Xuan, "I know, inside the Mahayana Tower, you have two more accomplices—a Heavenly Vault God Level and a Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master,
both of them are extrely powerful; with them protecting you, I almost have no chance of killing you, however, I certainly won’t leave the ’Spirit Realm.’ I can’t kill you, and you can’t kill ; it’s good if our well water doesn’t intrude upon each other’s river."
"Leaving is not sothing I would do; there are still significant matters I haven’t accomplished."
Zhou Xuan said with determination.
"Good, willing to stay is good; I still want to use you to refine a good batch of pills."
Fish Bodhisattva repeatedly sneered coldly, and within the Pure Lotus Hand Seal he had ford, a lotus flower had already grown—a seven-colored Cai Lian.
Zhou Xuan found this lotus flower sowhat familiar.
"This Cai Lian seems to be the incarnation of the Ancient Buddha, right?"
He muttered to himself,
During the Xianhuo calamity, Zhou Xuan obtained guidance from the Ancient Buddha in the Kongming Mirror, forming a "Seven-Colored Cai Lian" and receiving Master Wu Ya.
Seeing this Cai Lian again, Zhou Xuan imdiately understood,
He loudly spoke to the wall of the Mahayana Tower, "Alchemist Bai, your defeat nine hundred years ago was not in vain—this Fish Bodhisattva is no ordinary monk; he is one of the incarnations of the Ancient Buddha, the twenty-one Zen body."
"Ah, the Demon Monk is actually the incarnation of the Ancient Buddha?"
Upon hearing this news, Alchemist Bai Lu’s hands and feet trembled with anger, cursing, "Demon Monk, back then the Ancient Buddha was compassionate and cared for all beings; how is it under you, nothing evil goes undone?
Refining Human Pills, you take the lives of Yellow Field Prefecture’s people as if they are nothing, turning them into your pills. How can you claim to be the incarnation of the Ancient Buddha?"
While Alchemist Bai Lu was loudly berating him, the sour odor representing "fear" in the wind of the "Spirit Realm" intensified.
But this added fear did not co from Alchemist Bai Lu, but from Fish Bodhisattva.
He had never anticipated that Zhou Xuan would see through his identity; if Zhou Xuan left now and carried the news that "the Ancient Buddha’s incarnation refines Human Pills" out, his ruin would be secondary,
the more crucial concern was the possible hostilities from top officials of Jing Country and the attention of other twenty-one Zen bodies.
He was extrely worried now that Zhou Xuan would run away.
"Since my identity is revealed, Zhou Xuan’s death would be the best outco."
Fish Bodhisattva’s worries were coming true as Zhou Xuan stretched lazily and slowly said, "Fish Bodhisattva, at first I didn’t plan to leave, but now, I really feel like going."
He spoke cheerfully, "If I bring the news of the Ancient Buddha’s incarnation refining Human Pills to Jing Country...tsk tsk...it’s hard to imagine the impact it’d bring to Jing Country’s Buddhist disciples."
"In Snow Mountain Prefecture, Revolving Zen Sect is dominant; if those baldpates knew their supre faith had beco the Human Pill alchemist for Heavenly Do’s great figures, doing dirty deeds every day, what crazy actions would they take?"
Zhou Xuan raised a finger and said, "I’m afraid the first thing they’d want to do is to use the full power of their sect to sever the traitor of the Buddhist Sect that you are?"
