Chapter 1300: Chapter 490: Colossal Manifestation in Midair (Part 3)

"You all go ahead, I’m heading home."

Zhou Xuan felt a certain awkwardness entering the city... entering the city while his giant form hovered above... but the crowd wouldn’t let him go, pushing and pulling, dragging Zhou Xuan toward Mingjiang Prefecture.

"Hey, hey, don’t pull, don’t pull, the robe is tearing."

"By the way, Old Bai Lu, you said that the Source Power Pill is a Human Pill or a Qi Pill?"

"It’s a Qi Pill, Mr."

As Zhou Xuan headed toward the prefecture city, he thought to himself, "If the Source Power Pill is a Qi Pill, doesn’t that mean the Dan Demon is a Human Pill?"

...

"There must be a Human Pill."

In the Sky Dome Stone House, Mr. Yan paced back and forth, constantly muttering.

He always felt that Zhou Xuan’s Big Alchemy Furnace couldn’t have only refined Qi Pills.

"The Source Power Pill is extremely concentrated, pure Qi Pill, devoid of any trace of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires—so, where did the massive amount of emotions Zhou Xuan put into the furnace go?"

Mr. Yan pondered continuously, and at that moment, the Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk returned to the stone house.

"Mr. Yan."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader greeted with a smile, cupping his hands.

He was in a great mood, although he had been humbled everywhere in the human world, failed to enjoy Blood Food, Zhou Xuan successfully became a Dan Officer, and was even titled "Jade Capital Divine Pill Master" by Bai Yujing, a reward would surely follow as he was one of the recommenders.

"The outcome is still quite good."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader thought to himself.

Upon seeing the Eternal Life Sect Leader, Mr. Yan didn’t care about the prejudice of "people from the sick village, afflicted with diseases" and proactively approached him, saying, "Sect Leader, you saw Zhou Xuan alchemize with your own eyes in the human world..."

"Master Zhou," Tiancan Monk reminded.

"Yes... yes... you saw Master Zhou alchemize with your own eyes, did he refine only one elixir?"

Mr. Yan asked.

"Yes, indeed." The Eternal Life Sect Leader said, "This elixir, Bai Yujing saw it, the Palace Master saw it, I saw it, it was ultimately exchanged with ’Heaven and Earth,’ for a stone temple and Hundred Human Phenomena."

"And Hu Muhua’s life," Tiancan Monk added.

Mr. Yan shook his head, stating, "That’s not what I mean. I want to ask, did Master Zhou refine two pills and hide one?"

"That he did not."

"After alchemizing, did Master Zhou act peculiarly?" Mr. Yan asked again.

"No." The Eternal Life Sect Leader grew slightly impatient, saying, "During alchemy, Mr. Yan’s eyes swept over every inch of the Mingjiang land, you observed more closely than us—if you didn’t see anything, how could we?"

"True, true."

Seeing the Sect Leader’s words turning unfriendly, Mr. Yan ceased his questioning, offering each a lantern inscribed "Divine Palace," saying, "Both of you gods, please return to your divine palaces."

"Hm."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk, each holding their lantern, left the stone house, stepped into the heavenly dome.

"There must be two pills."

After the Eternal Life and Tiancan left, Mr. Yan continued muttering.

His mind was filled with doubts, compelling him to gouge his eye out and toss it into Xie Family’s Cave,

using his eye to search meticulously...

...

In Mingjiang Prefecture, the lights glimmered faintly,

None of the citizens had gone to sleep, dressed in their finest clothes, some holding fireworks, some holding lanterns, celebrating the reconstruction of Mingjiang Prefecture on the streets.

Every restaurant, theater, nightclub had opened wide,

And on the street, many people stood watching—for above them, Zhou Xuan’s storytelling was in the heavens.

Zhou Xuan was already known for his excellent storytelling, and with the giant form in the sky, it added a touch of mystery, naturally drawing many citizens to gaze upward.

To say, tonight, Zhou Xuan used Human Desire Power to reconstruct two-thirds of Mingjiang Prefecture.

In other words—this night, nearly two-thirds of Mingjiang’s dead have returned.

These reanimated dead did not know Zhou Xuan... now, with the giant form hovering above, they knew.

"Third Aunt, look, it’s that Mr. in the sky, he spent tremendous effort to rebuild our Mingjiang Prefecture."

"He reconstructed it single-handedly?"

"He possesses Great Divine Power."

"How much virtue must he accumulate?"

"Accumulate virtue? He is a Living Buddha. After the Xianhuo fire, Mingjiang Prefecture was a wasteland, he exhausted his wealth, exchanged it for food, allowing us survivors of the Xianhuo period to live."

"Is it just food? There was also wine, soda, medicine, even chocolate. I’ve lived half my life, it’s the first time I’ve tasted something so precious."

"Mr. also used Divine Power to keep Mingjiang Prefecture’s nights warm. Those events, I remember them, I remember them."

In every corner of Mingjiang Prefecture, survivors narrated Zhou Xuan’s deeds to the newly revived dead.

In an instant, on every street and alley, on every inch of land, "Zhou Xuan" became the hottest topic on the tongues of Mingjiang Prefecture’s citizens.

And Zhou Xuan, as soon as he entered the city, was recognized.

"Mr., that’s Mr."

"Mr. has arrived."

"Mr., you are my god."

The shouts of the crowd echoed, one after another,

More and more people were gathering.

Zhou Xuan was quite troubled, this enthusiastic crowd was too massive, even though he was not socially anxious, he had a slight urge to duck his head and leave.

"Old Hua, let’s hurry and leave, too many people, Old Hua... Old Hua...?"

Zhou Xuan turned around, finding the painter, music master, Peng Sheng, and Yun Ziliang were already hiding in the crowd, secretly waving at him.

The painter cupped his hands around his mouth, yelling, "Mr., embrace the love of the people, it’s what you deserve."

"..." Zhou Xuan.

The crowd grew increasingly dense, some more enthusiastic individuals lifted Zhou Xuan up, and threw him toward the sky.

"Long live Mr."

"Mingjiang Prefecture has returned."

Zhou Xuan just felt his body being tossed up and down repeatedly,

He saw his heavenly giant form enlarging one moment, shrinking the next,

A curious sense of shame spread through Zhou Xuan’s body.

"At this moment, how could I lack Hundred Human Phenomena?"

"I said I wouldn’t come, yet you insisted."

Zhou Xuan said, filled with shame.

But the citizens simply continued to use their human waves to throw Zhou Xuan high up, tears in their eyes, seemingly worshipping the deity of Mingjiang Prefecture in their own way...

...

Inside Xie Family’s Cave, as desolate as before,

the darkness of the cave ground, empty, leaving only the pill furnace as tall as a mountain.

Now, the pill furnace lacked the Star Sky Scroll, was no longer transparent, reverting to its blue stone hue,

A snow-white eye glided into the sky above the pill furnace and then burrowed inside.

The eye swept through the interior of the pill furnace,

Mr. Yan discovered—it was gone.

"That Dan Demon’s body is nowhere to be found," he thought to himself, while sensing a hint of unease...
