Chapter 1279: Chapter 482: Pink Nebula (Part 3)

Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

The ownership of the corpse was already clear, and Zhou Xuan moved on to the final step of cleaning up the aftermath.

Dun Jia, Buddha Country people, came fiercely, but now, only one survivor remains—the Dun Jia Disciple, the Star Official of Qintianjian, Zhao Youting.

Zhou Xuan walked step by step to Mingjiang’s carriage from the Tunnel Armor Sect, where Zhao Youting was pinned to the side wall of the carriage compartment by Hulu Taishang’s Dao Nail.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Xuan pulled out that Dao Nail, causing Zhao Youting, who lost his support, to fall to the ground.

His Taoist cultivation was mostly destroyed by that Dao Nail, and his originally black hair was now extensively white.

"Mr."

Zhao Youting’s voice was already extremely hoarse.

Zhou Xuan said, "Zhao Youting, within the Tunnel Armor Sect, you are considered someone who knows the greater good. I won’t make it difficult for you, go."

"My family has already passed, I’ve become half-crippled, living is meaningless, I only ask for Mr. to grant me death."

Zhao Youting was the first to accurately predict the "butcher will sever the Dun Jia Mountain Gate."

He estimated that his family far away in Dun Jia Mountain also met their tragic fate at the hands of the butcher.

At this moment, a greasy-robed butcher came from afar: "Zhao Youting, during my time in Dun Jia Mountain, although I fell into madness, I am still not a person who kills indiscriminately, your wife and children’s lives, I did not take away, your life still holds some hope."

"Oh..."

Zhao Youting lifted his head, his eyes flashing with hopeful light.

"Still not hurrying away?"

Zhou Xuan gave him a sideways glance, Zhao Youting immediately stood up, bowed to Zhou Xuan and the butcher, then fatigued to the extreme, boarded the carriage, quickly driving towards the direction of the Capital Mansion.

"Like a bird flying into the forest, leaving behind a vast white clean earth."

Zhou Xuan lamented.

The hustle and the killing intent have completely dissipated,

The butcher approached Zhou Xuan and said: "Congratulations Mr., for ascending to the Seven Incense Sticks."

"No need for congratulations, thank you, butcher, for lending the knife today."

Zhou Xuan smiled and clasped his fists.

"That knife of mine, isn’t really lent."

"Then what is it considered?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"It counts as returning to the original owner." The butcher looked up at the sky, seemingly in a daze,

He seemed to see a knife slicing the sinful Heavenly Dome into two halves.

The butcher knew, the catastrophe of Wuwen Mountain, Tunnel Armor Taishang, is just a biting dog,

While the true wicked ones, one sits in the Capital Mansion, another is in that Jade Capital above the Heavenly Dome.

Zhou Xuan also gazed at the Heavenly Dome, he saw in the Heavenly Dome, two pairs of eyes.

One pair of eyes naturally belonged to Mr. Yan, and the other pair belonged to the Palace Master of Changsheng Palace, Qing Yangyu.

"It’s time for Alchemy."

Zhou Xuan casually summoned the "Star Sky Scroll" still hanging in the sky, bringing it back to his hand.

This Star Sky Scroll soaked up the Seven Emotions and Six Desires in the theater, and now, upon touching, it felt very different, somewhat slick, slightly elastic when pressed, not like a paper scroll, more like a fresh human skin.

Zhou Xuan was about to conduct Alchemy, and as the only "Alchemy Master" present, Alchemist Bai Lu came running over.

"Mr., tonight your elixir is likely to be refined into an unparalleled elixir in the world."

Alchemist Bai Lu spoke while gazing at the Star Sky Scroll, and just from that gaze, tears flowed,

As if countless images emerged from the Star Sky Scroll, all scenes from Alchemist Bai Lu’s past life,

He joined the sect, and his master looked at him kindly with a smile.

His first time conducting Alchemy, when his furnace exploded, his master sternly reprimanded him.

His first successful elixir, his still somewhat immature face bore a silly smile...

The images reflected all the significant moments in Alchemist Bai Lu’s life, causing this Old Bai Lu to feel as if he lived anew.

The images brought him inexplicable emotion, he naturally couldn’t help but shed tears.

"Is this the power of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires?" Alchemist Bai Lu pondered the strength of desire,

Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan noticed his anomaly and immediately summoned Bone Teeth to make a small cut on Alchemist Bai Lu’s hand,

The sudden pain awakened Alchemist Bai Lu’s Heart Spirit, and he realized his loss of composure, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and said: "Mr., I was just feeling touched, why do you disturb me?"

The feeling of living anew truly made Alchemist Bai Lu feel wonderful.

Zhou Xuan pointed at the Star Sky Scroll and said: "The emotions collected in the Star Sky Scroll tonight are too numerous and chaotic, besides inexplicable touching desires, there’s more fear—fear of Tunnel Armor Taishang, fear of Buddha Country Five Forms,

I’m afraid that when you see things you shouldn’t later, if you get scared out of your wits."

Zhou Xuan is a top expert in dream weaving, extremely aware of the human heart. He naturally knows that within a person’s heart, there are both touching moments and terrifying pasts that are hard to face.

Seven Desires and Six Wishes can make a person feel touched, but similarly, can make a person feel fear.

It’s easy to revive someone moved, but if deeply frightened, walking out of the shadow is not so easy.

Therefore, he timely awakened Alchemist Bai Lu.

"Old Bai Lu, let me ask you, today the Star Sky Scroll has quite some changes from when I crafted the medicine powder a few days ago. Does our Pill Furnace need a redesign?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

The Star Sky Scroll acts both as the Elixir Recipe and the lid of the Pill Furnace.

To refine a good elixir, one needs to meticulously design the Pill Furnace’s main body according to the Fire Eye on the Star Sky Scroll.

Alchemist Bai Lu carefully examined the positions of the "stars" on the Star Sky Scroll and told Zhou Xuan: "Mr., the main body of the Pill Furnace does not need redesign."

"Are you sure?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"I am sure it does not need."

After Alchemist Bai Lu’s confident response, he continued: "Mr., the star clouds on the Star Sky Scroll are the Fire Eyes of the Pill Furnace,

We designed the Pill Furnace’s main body according to the Fire Eyes, even though the scroll absorbed a great deal of Seven Emotions and Six Wishes—however, the positions of the Fire Eyes have not changed."

"As long as the positions of the Fire Eyes do not change, the body of the furnace does not need to change?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Yes."

"Then look at these star clouds." Zhou Xuan pointed to seven pink stars and told Alchemist Bai Lu: "I recall, previously, these seven star clouds were not in the Star Sky Scroll?"

With seven more star clouds, it means the Star Sky Scroll, as the lid of the Pill Furnace, has added seven new Fire Eyes.

If the number of Fire Eyes has increased, shouldn’t the furnace body need redesign?

Alchemist Bai Lu stared intently at the location Zhou Xuan pointed out, then, somewhat doubting his eyes, said: "Mr., I’m afraid my Old Bai Lu has old eyes and dim vision, I honestly don’t see the pink star clouds you mentioned."
