Chapter 1291: Chapter 486: Dan Demon Child_3

"Mr., now is when I am most clear-headed. Just now... I was just expressing my joy."

"Expressing your joy? What kind of elegant phrase is that? You put it right on your forehead."

Zhou Xuan said, "Let me ask you, since it is a Dan Demon, why call it an Auspicious Sign?"

In his stereotyped impression, Auspicious Signs are like flying flowers, strange beasts, and celestial phenomena,

Demons, well, are monsters and ghosts, not anything good or fun.

Linking Auspicious Signs with Dan Demons, Zhou Xuan was truly hearing it for the first time.

White Deer Alchemist said, "Mr., what you don’t know is that a Dan Demon is actually elixir that has become spiritual and holy, transformed into human form, possessing human thought and spirit.

This is a symbol of elixir being refined extremely well. Think about it, if the elixir is spiritual, could it not be the greatest elixir in the world?"

He continued, "By the way, Mr., I’ve told you before, once in the Nine Provinces, all alchemists refined elixirs in the sky, but one day, a Dan Demon from a human furnace was refined, that Dan Demon was extraordinarily powerful, causing havoc for years in the human world,

Hence, this refining was viewed as an elixir disaster, and afterward, all alchemists were managed by the Heavenly Dome, and there were no alchemists left in the human world."

Upon hearing that the Dan Demon was this formidable, Zhou Xuan was so angry he gave White Deer Alchemist a flick on the head, saying, "What kind of Auspicious Sign is that? If this Dan Demon is powerful and we can’t subdue him, won’t it become a duck escaping from the pot, and we’ll have worked in vain?"

"According to the previous Heavenly Dome Master’s prediction, there are many kinds of elixirs, the Dan Demon that caused the disaster last time was a ’Wu Tong Tian’—unruly Divine Skills, invincible, despite the strong opponents in the world,

but among Dan Demons, besides Wu Tong Tian, there are others such as ’Shanshui Jian,’ ’Fufeng Lanyue,’ etc."

These extremely unfamiliar terms popped out of White Deer Alchemist’s mouth one after another, astonishing everyone, drawing their gaze to Old Bai Lu, eyes filled with yearning for knowledge.

White Deer Alchemist felt the crowd’s thirst for knowledge, he involuntarily straightened his back a bit, saying,

"’Shanshui Jian,’ is this Dan Demon, it will split itself into the mountains and rivers of Jing Country, with spiritual water, insightful mountains, resting among them for years, becoming a wise demon, understanding Jing Country’s past, predicting its future, even more precise than the most formidable Calculus Masters of Jing Country."

"As for ’Fufeng Lanyue,’ this Dan Demon is..."

White Deer Alchemist was eager to impress, speaking like a storyteller, making the name famous, but he was interrupted by Zhou Xuan.

"Hold on with the nonsense, Old Bai Lu, take a look at the Dan Demon I refined."

Zhou Xuan pointed towards the pill furnace,

White Deer Alchemist turned to look, he only saw that Dan Demon Child suddenly put his hands into the shape of a knife and burrowed into his own abdomen.

With a plop, a bloody hole appeared on the child’s belly, his hand groped along the abdomen, finally seemed to grasp something,

When his right hand returned, everyone could see clearly that the Dan Demon Child held a golden heart.

Soon after, the Dan Demon Child raised the heart slowly, when it rose above the head,

his body abruptly petrified, hands, feet, body, all turned into mountain blue stone, only the ’golden heart’ in the palm continued to rhythmically contract and pump.

"What type is this Dan Demon Child? ’Wu Tong Tian,’ ’Fufeng Lanyue,’ ’Shanshui Jian’?"

Zhou Xuan asked White Deer Alchemist.

White Deer Alchemist felt at a loss, saying, "Mr., you know, the types of Dan Demons are all the predictions of the Heavenly Dome Master."

"So you know nothing again, eh?" Zhou Xuan said impatiently.

He was a bit fed up with White Deer Alchemist jumping between ’Scholarly Alchemist’ and ’Alchemy Blind Drifter,’ sometimes he really couldn’t help but want to punch Old Bai Lu!

"It’s not complete ignorance."

White Deer Alchemist said, "Mr., I know one characteristic of Dan Demons."

"Speak!"

"Dan Demons have spirits and are extremely smart, when they realize escape is hopeless, they commit suicide."

"This Dan Demon Child must have observed that Mr. is mighty, Mingjiang Prefecture Day Trip unparalleled, plus those helpers, like Incense Fire Taoist God, Butcher, all are unparalleled top experts,

and probably figured out that Mr.’s strategies are flawless, that he is a Divine Strategy Military Advisor come to earth, thus leaving no hope of survival and opting for suicide."

White Deer Alchemist lavished praise,

Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows, asked, "Old Bai Lu, in the days of your past, did you ponder only flattery? Your praise comes in sophisticated sets."

"Sigh, Mr., I was a Dan Officer, you know, I used to have... had... a backing."

"That’s reasonable."

Zhou Xuan nodded, asked, "So, what do I do now?"

"Retrieve the elixir."

White Deer Alchemist pointed to the heart and said, "The so-called Dan Demon suicide is merely extinguishing its spirit essence, but the elixir itself remains, the heart is the elixir, Mr., feel free to take it."

"Certain?"

"Certain!" White Deer Alchemist nearly swore.

Zhou Xuan nodded, walked towards the tripod furnace, when arriving at the tripod wall, without waiting for the tripod wall’s hand to guide him in, he Divine Soul Day Trip, Shifting Form and Shadow, appearing ten yards from the Dan Demon Child.

He was naturally cautious, and despite White Deer Alchemist’s certainty, he still kept a grip on ’Divine Armor,’ to safeguard against unexpected turns.

With preparations done, Zhou Xuan walked step by step towards the Dan Demon Child, reached the child’s front, extended his hand to grab the golden heart,

As soon as the heart touched his hand, the Dan Demon Child abruptly opened both eyes...

Zhou Xuan cursed inwardly: Old Bai Lu, damn you!
