"What kind of people are in Bai Yujing, you still don’t know? They ignore worldly affairs and only seek their own pleasure."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader said, "Their sudden appearance must be because they’ve caught a whiff of a good elixir and have co to observe."
"I understand now, if they hadn’t sensed anything in advance, they wouldn’t have gone through such trouble to appear under the Heavenly Do."
Tiancan Monk added at this point, "However, nothing is certain. If Zhou Xuan... Lord Zhou fails to produce a top-quality elixir..."
"What does that have to do with us?" The Eternal Life Sect Leader asked in surprise.
"It matters a great deal, doesn’t it?"
Tiancan Monk pointed at Zhou Xuan in the distance and said, "Bai Yujing going to such lengths, if they don’t see that top-notch elixir, they are bound to take out their frustration on Lord Zhou,
and at that ti, who will go to kill Lord Zhou? Won’t this difficult burden fall upon our shoulders?"
"What are you afraid of? When a big trouble cos, there are stronger people to handle it."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader pointed at the incense fire Taoist and the Butcher on the mountain, saying, "See that? The Incense Fire Taoist God and Butcher are here. Would they allow us to intervene? Naturally, it’s Bai Yujing’s people who will step in to kill Lord Zhou!
At that ti, it will be between the Incense Fire Taoist God and Bai Yujing, what’s it got to do with us?"
After the Eternal Life Sect Leader spoke, he added,
"Of course, if such a fight indeed breaks out, when we return to the Heavenly Do, we’ll definitely be questioned and suffer a bit. But then, our lives will be spared, won’t they?
Think about it, tonight, how many Hall Disciples of the nine sticks of incense have had their flas snuffed out, dying and losing their paths. Do you also wish to end up like them?"
As Tiancan Monk listened, he increasingly found it reasonable. The Eternal Life Sect Leader, deserving of being one of the "Ancient Gods", with such insights, how could he not have a long life?
Tiancan Monk grew more and more impressed with the Eternal Life Sect Leader.

In the Sky Do Stone House, Mr. Yan’s eyes kept watching over the Xie Family’s Cave area,
he seed to beco a live broadcaster, every ti the Pill Furnace constructed by Sister Cui grew a few zhang, he’d report to Qing Yangyu,
"Palace Master, the Pill Furnace has grown another ten zhang."
"Palace Master, the lords of Bai Yujing have appeared as well. All the bigwigs within the clan are watching tonight’s pill changes."
"The elixirs of the Heavenly Do are gradually losing their potency, and those big figures’ pills are even less effective. Without elixirs, the Heavenly Fire Clan loses its strong spirit and savage physique. Bai Yujing watching the pill changes is only natural."
Qing Yangyu grabbed a few atworms, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed for a while, then said with a hopeful expression,
"If that Human World Pill Official can continuously offer us superb elixirs, not just you, even I, as the Palace Master of Changsheng Palace, will shout with respect when eting Zhou Xuan — Master Zhou."
Changsheng Palace has so weight in the Heavenly Do, but compared to Bai Yujing, it’s like a minor wizard eting a great wizard.
If Zhou Xuan gains the favor of Bai Yujing, he will beco the popular figure under the entire Heavenly Do.
"Zhou Xuan is soone I discovered. If he becos Master Zhou, I’ll have the rit of recomndation. By then, Bai Yujing’s rewards will certainly be plentiful."
"Then, my Little Yan, let congratulate the Palace Master on your further promotion."
"Well said, well said." Qing Yangyu waved his hand and said, "You, keep a close watch on the movents in the sick village. In the future, whatever benefits I get, you won’t be left out."
"Thank you, thank you." Mr. Yan was also overjoyed when he heard that.
...
Sister Cui, relying on the Earth Law, was constructing the Pill Furnace swiftly and accurately.
anwhile, King Xishan had also made preparations. With his command, five hundred foxes, as white as snow, poured into the Xie Family’s Cave.
These foxes were to be used to cool the newly built Pill Furnace.
King Xishan said to Zhou Xuan, "Mr., the foxes of the Fox Clan are ready. With just a command, these young fox clan mbers will give their lives to stabilize the Pill Furnace."
Zhou Xuan nodded and then said softly, "Lao Xi, I only know that Sister Cui needs these foxes to sacrifice their lives for the Pill Furnace, but I don’t know what role their lives will play. Anyway, since we’re idle, tell about it?"
King Xishan was a bit troubled and said, "Sir, there is an ancient saying in the human world—A gentleman sees life, cannot bear to see death; hears its sound, cannot bear to consu its flesh. Therefore, a gentleman avoids the kitchen.
You’re a benevolent gentleman. If you hear how the foxes will die, I fear you wouldn’t bear to let the Fox Clan sacrifice."
"What needs knowing, must be known. Please, tell ."
Zhou Xuan said.
King Xishan had no choice but to say, "Ah Cui relies on the Earth Law to build the Pill Furnace, but it’s so huge that once constructed, the furnace body will heat to a terrifying degree,
Ah Cui wants to enter the furnace and use the Law to shape its internal structure, but she’d be scalded to death by the high temperature. If she waits for the furnace to cool naturally, the Power of Laws would have dissipated, making it impossible to alter the internal structure."
"So..."
"So, of our five hundred foxes, part of them will envelop Ah Cui’s body with their own, to protect her from being burnt to death by the high heat when the furnace takes shape,
The others will sever their own necks, shedding fox blood to cool the furnace body around Ah Cui,
both thods ensuring that as Ah Cui works on the furnace interior, she will not perish, and guaranteeing the rapid completion of the Pill Furnace."
King Xishan, pointing to those white foxes, said, "We, the Snow Mountain Fox Clan, have blood that is extrely cold, making it the best material to cool the furnace chamber."
