Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Chapter 1398 - 521: Alchemist Dan Si (Part 2)

The entire Jingyi Shop is actually putting on a performance.In the seemingly calm and peaceful store, everyone is busy with their own affairs, but it’s actually all arranged in advance by Zhou Xuan.

He deliberately spread the word that his elixir was to be completed before ten o’clock, thus marking the last opportunity for Mr. Yan to "steal the elixir."

The peaceful scene of everyone is merely to prevent alarming the snake, inviting the enemy into a trap.

At the moment the "Alchemist Dan Silk" appeared, everyone in the Jingyi Shop knew that Mr. Yan had already started to steal the elixir,

but everyone pretended that nothing had happened—Zhou Xuan had informed them in advance: if he didn’t make a noise, no one should go upstairs.

Capturing requires timing, and before the right time, Mr. Yan might have the chance to escape.

If he escapes, it would bring endless trouble.

So, everyone in the hall continued with their tasks, acting as if nothing happened...

...

"Why can’t I find Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm?"

Mr. Yan was quite frustrated; he used almost all the Dan Silk at his disposal, wrapping Zhou Xuan layer by layer, searching continuously,

but he searched every inch of Zhou Xuan’s body and still couldn’t locate the Secret Realm.

"Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm is mysterious to such a degree?"

Inside the Returning Ruins Space, Mr. Yan, who was manipulating the silk threads, was very puzzled; he had entered many people’s Secret Realms, including the Divine Revelation Secret Realm and the Zouyin Secret Realm, but had never seen anything this bizarre.

"Hmph, if you ask me, you should forget about monopolizing the Dan Demon matter and instead openly extort Zhou Xuan."

"Impossible."

Mr. Yan’s eyes gleamed with greed as he said, "The Dan Demon is of great importance; under no circumstance will I let go of the entire Dan Demon. Asking me to let go now is impossible."

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, his gaze froze, and when he snapped back to reality, he burst into wild laughter.

"Found it, found it... I found it."

"You found Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm?"

"No."

"Then what did you find?" Human skin sneered.

"I found the trace of the Danzi."

When Mr. Yan’s countless Alchemist Dan Silk were frenetically searching within Zhou Xuan’s body, they discovered a drop of blood inside the bone cavity of Zhou Xuan’s lower leg.

That drop of blood exuded the fragrance of an elixir, with a very rich aroma; if it’s not the blood of the Dan Demon, then what is it?

"Sure enough, sure enough... it’s the Dan Demon; the Dan Demon has usually been hidden by Zhou Xuan in his stone temple, concealed in the Secret Realm."

"As long as I find Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm, I can find the Dan Demon."

"I’m going to become wealthy, I’m going to become wealthy."

"All Dan Silk, heed my command, continue searching within Zhou Xuan’s body until the Dan Demon is found."

His gaze was frenzied, success was within sight, how could he let go,

and those Dan Silk were even more frantically searching, seeking the Secret Realm within Zhou Xuan’s body.

...

On the second floor of Jingyi Shop, "Zhou Xuan" remained wrapped in countless Dan Silk,

while on the first floor of Jingyi Shop, Zhou Xuan emerged from the invisible air.

In his hand, he held a severed finger.

This severed finger was both thin and short, as if it had been chopped off from a doll.

At the same time, the severed finger was glowing with a crimson sheen; just a glance could reveal its mystical nature.

Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and focused at that moment, the severed finger in his hand continuously melted, and the flesh turned into thin meat worms, drilling into the forehead of Yun Ziliang, Li Changxun, Zhao Wuya, Alchemist Bai Lu, and also into his own forehead.

Once the meat worms completely entered, they disappeared from the Jingyi Shop.

...

"Search! Search! Quickly find Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm for me."

Mr. Yan’s two Magic Artifacts—Heavenly Vision, and Ear Root, directed all their sight and hearing towards Zhou Xuan’s bedroom.

As a result, these artifacts failed to notice the real movements of Zhou Xuan.

However, even if they had noticed, it was already too late; Zhou Xuan had locked onto Mr. Yan’s location, making his escape futile.

"Oh dear, Mr. Yan, you’ve been lurking in our East Market Street for days, I’m the local kingpin in East Market Street, and it’s quite impolite of you not to offer incense greetings."

Zhou Xuan’s voice sounded right behind Mr. Yan.

Upon hearing the voice, Mr. Yan instantly became overwhelmed and nervously turned around, seeing Zhou Xuan, Li Changxun, Yun Ziliang, Zhao Wuya, Alchemist Bai Lu, and others appearing in his line of sight.

He couldn’t help but feel deeply alarmed.

"You really found me?"

Mr. Yan clenched his fists, with a sense of fear from being cornered by a pack of wolves.

Zhou Xuan didn’t even glance at Mr. Yan; he focused on the space they were in now—"Returning Ruins."

All things were rapidly decaying, aging, dying, then turning into a suffocating void that made him perceive a kind of "broken" beauty.

Yun Ziliang stared at Mr. Yan for a long time before finally speaking: "Yun Ziyi, my good junior brother, I never imagined that three hundred years later, we would reunite in such a way."

Mr. Yan is Yun Ziliang’s junior brother—"Master Ziyan."

But Mr. Yan didn’t pay attention to Yun Ziliang; his gaze was fixated as he asked, "Zhou Xuan, you’re here in person, then who is the Zhou Xuan in your bedroom?"

"That one, is my old friend—Turtle Mountain Taoist. He is an actor I cultivated at considerable expense, good acting, isn’t it?"

Turtle Mountain Taoist is the Mountain Guardian of Little Turtle Mountain at Hui Feng Medical College.

"Mr. Yan, did you know, the trait of ’Hundred Human Phenomena’ can actually be lent out?"
