Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1162 - 445: Scarlet Starry Sky Scroll_3

Those white bones, after the big fish flew away, turned into scattered sand, all dissipated, and Wu Ya Zen also landed on the ground.

He picked up a withered sycamore branch from the ground, brushed it over himself a few times, and all the decay on his body disappeared.

"Congratulations, great sir, for welcoming the Twin Fish. Judging by your appearance, it seems you have found a way to save Wood Flower.

"Indeed."

"That’s good, that’s good. This little monk can sleep peacefully again, entering the dream to understand the Dream of the Celestial Venerable on your Daoist robe."

Once Wu Ya Zen decided to leave, after bowing his head, the Zen Master’s persona vanished, and the real Ya Zi awoke.

Zhao Wuya rubbed his dazed head, looking around: "Where did you bring me, brother?"

"Fool, this is Yellow Field Prefecture."

Yun Ziliang stepped up and gave Zhao Wuya a flick on the head.

The flick was neither loud nor heavy, just right,

This flick wasn’t for disciplining his disciple, but because his hand was itching—ever since coming to Yellow Field Prefecture, Wu Ya Zen was always showing his form, so he was embarrassed to hit Zhao Wuya.

After not hitting anyone for two days, Yun Ziliang was having withdrawal symptoms.

"Master, why did you hit me?"

"This sensation, it’s perfect." Yun Ziliang enjoyed it.

Zhou Xuan called out: "Now that matters in Yellow Field Prefecture are settled, let’s go, return to Mingjiang."

"Great sir... let’s rest for another night, today was troublesome with many chaotic things. Surely you are tired."

"Mr. Lu, I have important matters back in Mingjiang Prefecture, so I won’t disturb you further. Thank you for your assistance these past two days. If you need help in the future, feel free to ask."

"The green hill remains, the water flows long."

Zhou Xuan cupped his hands, gently shook his folded fan, and said to Yun Ziliang and the others: "Brothers, let’s go."

With his words, he threw the Cloud Deer Alchemist, who had transformed into the ancient book "Can Tongqi," into the Secret Realm, and day-tripped back to Mingjiang.

Zhao Wuya watched the direction Zhou Xuan disappeared in, and asked Yun Ziliang: "Grand Master, why do I feel Brother Xuan has changed?"

"Changed into what?"

"Become more charming, as if he’s our leader now."

"When was he not the leader?" Yun Ziliang laughed: "Ya Zi, let me give you a piece of advice, in the future, don’t mess with Brother Xuan. Today he made a friend who’s really formidable."

"How formidable, more formidable than Master Li?"

Yun Ziliang glanced at Li Changxun and said: "He could slaughter your Master Li like a pig."

"Keep chewing on my words, I’m leaving first."

Li Changxun summoned a breeze and returned to Mingjiang Prefecture.

He only scorned Yun Ziliang for "talking nonsense," yet didn’t deny that the butcher could slaughter him like a pig—he had a fair estimation of his own cultivation.

...

The group consecutively returned to Mingjiang Prefecture.

At the entrance of "Zhou Family’s Jingyi Shop," a large crowd had already gathered, with patrol officers sent by the government maintaining order.

"Everyone, everyone, the great sir is unwell, please don’t disturb him."

Before Zhou Xuan went to Yellow Field Prefecture, there was originally a book talk scheduled, but to rescue Hua Zi, he canceled that event.

The reason given for canceling the book talk was illness.

During these two days, he was in the Yellow Field Prefecture and not at the Jingyi Shop, yet waves of people came to visit Zhou Xuan.

Some brought eggs, some brought ancestral herbs, and some were doctors themselves,

Little Fuzi was busy receiving batch after batch of people; he was so busy that he was out of shape.

"Everyone, these past two days an acute illness struck, but it comes and goes quickly."

Zhou Xuan appeared at the entrance of Jingyi Shop and spoke to the crowd.

As soon as he appeared, people at the door became excited, each cheering enthusiastically.

"Great sir, you scared me these two days. There’s still half of Mingjiang Prefecture waiting for you to rebuild."

"You’re talking nonsense, we’re genuinely concerned for the great sir, from the bottom of our hearts. The way you say it makes it seem like we’re pressuring him."

"Exactly! If you can’t speak well, don’t speak. Great sir, I’ve brought some tonics for you to replenish your body."

Zhou Xuan just smiled; he knew that whenever there’s a crowd, there are always all kinds of people.

As for the people at the door, many are genuinely grateful and concerned. Upon hearing he was ill, they wanted to visit.

However, there are some worried he might suddenly leave without returning,

And others feared his illness would lead to death, leaving half of Mingjiang Prefecture in limbo.

Zhou Xuan understood human nature and wasn’t angry at those "speaking nonsense." Instead, he gestured downward, saying: "I appreciate everyone’s goodwill, but I’m fully recovered and don’t need any more supplements."

"As for the book talk, it’ll be resumed in the next few days. Please keep an eye out for announcements."

His sincere dismissal quickly worked, and people gradually dispersed; in Mingjiang Prefecture, his face held great sway.

Once everyone left, Zhou Xuan entered the shop with Little Fuzi at the door.

"Master, these people are too enthusiastic. The shop’s been overrun these past two days, we couldn’t stop them."

"Enthusiasm is good, it increases my Wish Power."

With an abundance of Wish Power,

Zhou Xuan’s elixir materials became inexhaustible.

...

Little Fuzi brewed tea for Zhou Xuan and went to the street to buy hot water from the Waterman.

Zhou Xuan, drinking tea in the shop, called out: "Old Bai Lu, haven’t had enough of the Twin Fish yet? Come out, I have something for you."

As his words landed, the restriction on the Secret Realm lifted, and Alchemist Bai Lu turned into an unfolded book, fluttering out.

"Great sir, those two fish are indeed treasures of Heaven and Earth, I’m never finished watching."

"Let’s not talk about that, let me show you something and see if you understand it."

Zhou Xuan took out the "Scarlet Starry Sky" scroll, now the size of a palm.

The scroll grew with the wind, becoming a two or three-meter long scroll.

"This is an Elixir Recipe. I’m clueless about alchemy; can you help me figure out how to use it?"

Zhou Xuan said...
