"Zhou Housheng, let introduce you."
The incense fire Taoist greeted Zhou Xuan warmly upon eting him, as old friends would, where propriety still holds its importance.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand with a smile and said, "Eternal Life Sect Leader, Broken Robe’s Alien Ghost - Tiancan Monk, I’ve created twenty-four divine pictures before, I know you both well enough, no need for introductions."
"Since you already know, that’s good."
The incense fire Taoist led Zhou Xuan to sit at the square table,
Tiancan Monk’s face was covered in warts like those on a toad’s back, looking sowhat repulsive,
He glanced at Zhou Xuan with a scornful look and then remained silent.
As for the Eternal Life Sect Leader, he folded his hands toward Zhou Xuan as a gesture of greeting, albeit with so reluctance, but he still maintained etiquette.
These two, towards Zhou Xuan, felt so displeasure, but it was rely displeasure,
Nevertheless, they never questioned Zhou Xuan’s "rightful place" at the table from beginning to end.
A table, two God-level beings, one Heavenly God Level, the last seat certainly wasn’t ant for mortal humans,
Yet Zhou Xuan sat at the table, and they did not oppose, indicating that they essentially acknowledged Zhou Xuan’s transcendent status—distinct from other human disciples.
"Zhou Housheng, before you ca, I bet with them that you would certainly co into this mist."
"They doubted your courage."
The incense fire Taoist spoke the opening words, trying hard to ease the sowhat awkward atmosphere,
"Yet, entering this Green and Red Mist, he relied not on courage." Tiancan Monk, holding a string of Buddha beads, said.
"To manifest the Dharma Image of ’Day and Night Wandering God’ is much more impressive than re courage."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader wasn’t advocating for Zhou Xuan but spoke truthfully.
In the vast land of Jing Country, finding several fearless individuals is easy, but finding soone who can manifest the Dharma Image of ’Day and Night Wandering God,’ none could be found in the past two thousand years.
"Zhou Xuan, honestly, as the Eternal Life Sect Leader, I have quite a good impression of you... when seventeen God-level beings tead up with Bi Fang to curse you with the ’Will Heavenly Book,’ I did not participate."
Though the Eternal Life Sect Leader’s words remained cold, they faintly indicated goodwill toward Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Sect Leader, I saw Bi Fang’s Heavenly Book myself, and indeed your na wasn’t there, but Tiancan Monk’s na was."
"To kill you was never my intent; the celestial God-level beings, whether you call us a den or connivers, we are indeed on the sa boat,
Being on the sa boat involves many considerations—as the Alien Ghost with the most Buddha energy, I’m closely associated with the Green Robed Buddha from the Heavenly Do, he signed his na on the Heavenly Book, so I had to sign as well."
Above the Heavenly Do, it’s not just about conflicts and battles,
The nuances of human relations and etiquette are akin to those in the mortal world.
"Thus, the sect leader and I harbor no prejudice against you, though it’s hard for us to accept that you, a re mortal, have the qualification to take part in this matter and discuss the ownership of the Green and Red Fish, but the matter has co to this, and we have no choice but to grudgingly accept it."
Tiancan Monk’s words carried sharp wit but indeed acknowledged Zhou Xuan’s involvent in the matter.
"The Green and Red Fish hold great significance."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader said, "Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan, this ti you’ve caused great trouble, disrupting celestial affairs, killing Fish Monk. You should know where Fish Monk’s daily alched Human Pills were sent."
"Heavenly Do."
Within the space of the Green and Red Mist, there can be no outsiders, the sect leader did not shy away from speaking of "Human Pills," and Zhou Xuan openly discussed Heavenly Do’s business.
"You killed the Dan Officer of Heavenly Do, how do you think Heavenly Do should punish you?"
The sect leader slightly tilted his head to the right, casting a sidelong glance at Zhou Xuan, the pressure was significant.
Zhou Xuan, however, was not afraid of the pressure and said in a relaxed manner, "Killing Fish Monk doesn’t count as causing trouble, rather, from a certain perspective, it helped Heavenly Do optimize the ’Human Pill Factory’s’ structure."
Both the Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk fell silent, having long heard of Zhou Xuan, known for his unconventional thinking, frequently undertaking "astonishing" actions,
such as using four tattoos to rge into one and creating a fake Heavenly God, deceiving the entire Bone Elder Association.
The pair rarely visited the mortal world and naturally seized the opportunity to see and hear for themselves Zhou Xuan’s unique deanor, satisfying their curiosity.
Zhou Xuan continued, "Based on Fish Monk’s accounts, he was the first human Dan Officer contacted by Heavenly Do,
The Human Pill business began with him,
In business, they say it’s challenging to start; the first deal, the first partner, often requires substantial investnt and effort, my guess is Heavenly Do heavily invested in Fish Monk."
"What did all that investnt bring about?"
"It brought Fish Monk’s dedication, for a thousand years, continually refining Human Pills for Heavenly Do; he was a good Dan Officer."
Tiancan Monk closed his eyes, solemnly defending "Fish Monk."
Yet Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "It’s true he was dedicated, but as for this monk, in alchemy, he made little progress; he absolutely wasn’t a good Dan Officer. Otherwise, he wouldn’t just be refining pills for Li Shanzu and Heavenly Eye Taoist,
He was long a chicken rib of Heavenly Do, lacking at to eat, and a pity to discard,
Now, I’ve swiftly made a choice for Heavenly Do, severing this atless rib, Heavenly Do ought to pay a service fee."
