Chapter 1399 - 521: Alchemist Dan Si_3
Zhou Xuan sneered and said."The ’Hundred Human Phenomena’ characteristic, although a trait of the Heavenly Gods, has never belonged to the Dream Realm Heavenly God and has always been in the hands of the performers of Jing Country."
Even if the Dream Realm Heavenly God wants to use it, they need to borrow it.
And Zhou Xuan, happened to lend it to Turtle Mountain Taoist tonight after visiting Hui Feng Medical College.
"The Night Parade of Hundred Demons of Mingjiang Prefecture is a grand spectacle in the human world orchestrated by me, when I reconstructed the night of Mingjiang Prefecture, I also staged a colorful play."
"In these two grand spectacles, Turtle Mountain Taoist played a significant role. He has experienced many big scenes, his performance refined, coupled with the Hundred Human Phenomena disguise, tricking people like you is exceedingly simple."
Zhou Xuan sneered, standing with his hands behind his back, "Those white threads of yours, you must have searched for a long time, but couldn’t find Turtle Mountain Taoist’s Secret Realm, right? — Let me be honest with you, he’s the Mountain Guardian, the Secret Realm is not here."
The Mountain Guardian is quite peculiar, the temple and the Daoist Temple they guard is their Secret Realm.
Thus, the Turtle Mountain Taoist’s Secret Realm is not inside his body, but within the Turtle Mountain Daoist Temple at Little Turtle Mountain.
This is also why Mr. Yan has always been unable to locate "Zhou Xuan"’s Secret Realm.
"But I distinctly found a drop of blood within his body, that drop had a heavy scent of elixir. If it’s not Danzi’s blood, whose is it?"
Zhou Xuan sneered and said, "Mr. Yan, your guess is correct, Danzi is indeed in my hands, but that drop of blood? It’s not Danzi’s; it’s mine."
"Without finding your true body, how would I easily let Danzi’s flesh and blood appear in the world? I’m not someone to easily drop the bait without seeing the rabbit."
"Why does your blood have the fragrance of an elixir?"
"Oh, a few days ago, I helped my brother with Medicine Transformation and stored a lot of elixir scent within me."
Zhou Xuan patted Zhao Wuya on the shoulder, laughing as he spoke.
Zhao Wuya also said, "I said that testing medicine for my master is beneficial, right? Tricked you, an old veteran of the Heavenly Dome!"
"You tricked me, but I still can’t understand how you reached the Returning Ruins; without someone from the Ghost-faced Butterfly Clan, it’s impossible to enter here; even if you do enter, the vastness of space means you won’t find me."
Mr. Yan knew he was being played by Zhou Xuan this time, but he didn’t want to be captured without clarity; he had to ask seriously.
Fortunately, Zhou Xuan was also interested in playing around with Mr. Yan, he didn’t hide his methods and spoke about them openly.
He wasn’t afraid of revealing secrets either, since coming here, he didn’t plan on allowing Mr. Yan to leave alive.
"Your threads spread out from your current location; when you bound Turtle Mountain Taoist with threads, guess where I was?"
"I was standing by the bedside, using my Thousand-year-old Turtle Breath Technique, quietly watching your threads."
"Danzi was in my Secret Realm; he sensed those threads and naturally traced them directly to your precise location."
Zhou Xuan said with a smile, "Mr. Yan, if you had retracted your threads in time, cutting them off early, maybe Danzi and I wouldn’t have located your position; after all, positioning requires time."
"Fortunately, I planted a drop of my blood inside the Turtle Mountain Taoist’s bone cavity in advance, making you mistake it for Danzi’s blood; you, like a fish tasting the bait, wouldn’t let go."
"This provided us, me and Danzi, valuable time to precisely locate you."
Through Zhou Xuan’s nearly warm-hearted explanation, Mr. Yan realized that Zhou Xuan, within such a short time, used the psychology of wanting to "solely possess the Dan Demon" to set up layers of strategies.
Each step in the scheme was like holding him firmly in a quagmire, unable to break free.
"You’re so cunning."
Mr. Yan gritted his teeth with hatred, squeezed out this sentence, "But even if you pinpointed my location, how did you reach here?"
"Fortuitously, the Danzi I refined a few days ago, his name is ’Wujiang’; any space identified by him cannot escape his reach."
"How could I not come to little Returning Ruins?"
Danzi spoke from within Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm.
Zhou Xuan easily pulled Danzi out of the Secret Realm, Danzi half-Buddha half-Daoist, took the form of a little child.
Only his right index finger had been recently severed, used as a ticket for everyone to enter ’Returning Ruins.’
Fortunately, Danzi’s regenerating ability was strong; a bud had begun to grow at the severed finger site, indicating regrowth.
"Truly a Dan Demon, truly a Dan Demon."
Mr. Yan gazing at Danzi, his eyes nearly spitting fire in intense envy.
"I can’t fathom why you’re searching for me?"
Danzi couldn’t be bothered to correct Mr. Yan’s address for him, planted his hands on his hips and said, "You, a small Sky Dome Gatekeeper, think you’ll soar with me?"
"Isn’t it to serve as a gift, offered to those higher-ups?"
As Danzi’s words settled, the skin Mr. Yan was wearing finally broke the silence and started speaking,
"Hoh, this Mr. Yan isn’t simple; he seeks to change his Heavenly Fire Clan identity, aiming to become a lord of White Jade Capital."
With the voice of the human skin, everyone was a bit surprised, Zhou Xuan especially remarked, "I thought Mr. Yan was one person, turns out it’s two? Interesting, interesting."
"And you are?" Li Changxun asked the human skin.
"Who am I?"
The human skin arrogantly said, "If I weren’t controlled by Mr. Yan, if I were in the Heavenly Dome, you’d have to respectfully call me Lord Bottle, Li Changxun."
"Lord Bottle?"
Li Changxun felt familiar with the name, like he’d heard it somewhere,
Nonetheless, Bai Lu the Alchemist reacted quickly, immediately saying, "I know, I know—You’re the Qingping Daoist from three hundred years ago, renowned for your extraordinary elixir crafting,
regarded as the most promising candidate to enter the White Jade Palace."
"You old man, still knows a thing or two."
"Shut up, shut up." Mr. Yan was very annoyed to hear the human skin speak, and scolded loudly.
Then Mr. Yan said to Zhou Xuan, "Master Zhou, I’ve conceded to your tactics; the dream of exclusively owning Danzi, I dare no longer have. Can we perhaps share Danzi?"
"At this point, what right do you have to negotiate with me?"
"Because I am a member of the Heavenly Fire Clan." Mr. Yan finally played his life-saving talisman.
However, the human skin was extremely excited and shouted, "You’re not a Heavenly Fire Clan member; you stole the identity from me. It is I who am a rightful member of the Heavenly Fire Clan."
"Oh?"
Zhou Xuan grew even more interested, as days ago he felt Mr. Yan’s "Heavenly Fire Clan member" identity was quite dubious.
All clues pointed to Mr. Yan being the "Master Ziyan" of Hidden Dragon Mountain, Yun Ziliang’s junior disciple.
Nonetheless, Li Changxun saw Mr. Yan from heaven, pinpointing Mr. Yan as a large maggot, an evident Heavenly Fire Clan member.
How does a Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master of Hidden Dragon Mountain become a big maggot and a Heavenly Fire Clan member? Surely something peculiar is at play.
Now, with this human skin present, Zhou Xuan could confront this peculiarity directly, and he asked, "The so-called Bottle Taoist of yours, can you explain how Mr. Yan stole your Heavenly Fire Clan identity? I’m all ears."
Called Qingping Daoist, human skin, indignant, said, "Haha, it’s a long story... Yun Ziliang, Mr. Yun, Li Changxun, Mountain Ancestor Li, do you know what a shameless and deceitful traitor this Yun Ziyan, Mr. Yan, is?"
