Chapter 1298: Chapter 490: Soaring Giant Aspect

Upon hearing the words "Hundred Human Phenomena," Zhou Xuan immediately thought of the face of the Dream Realm Heavenly God.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Dan Taker, how can you give me the Hundred Human Phenomena? That belongs to the Dream Realm Heavenly God."

"The Dream Realm Heavenly God relied on the ’Hundred Human Phenomena’ to descend a clone from the Time Realm to Mingjiang Prefecture. Now, the clone has been slain by you, and the clone’s Taoist practices have also dissipated,

but the ’Hundred Human Phenomena’ has returned to ’Heaven and Earth.’

Hua Bao, seeing Zhou Xuan still confused, continued, "Heavenly God Level beings, aside from mastering a complete Law, also possess traits of the Heavenly God,

some have many traits, others have few. The ’Hundred Human Phenomena’ is one of the traits of the Dream Realm Heavenly God."

"When a Heavenly God Level being falls, their Taoist practices scatter across the earth and rivers, awaiting the next cycle, but their traits return to ’Heaven and Earth.’

Hua Bao said at this point, "Using a trait of a Heavenly God as our sincerity, we ask Mr. to forgive past grievances."

It intentionally emphasized the words "trait of a Heavenly God," highlighting the preciousness of this item,

but Zhou Xuan knew that this trait of the Dream Realm Heavenly God was perhaps not well-regarded by ’Heaven and Earth,’ much like that stone temple of ’Shanshui Jian.’

Nevertheless, these two items were exactly what Zhou Xuan desired. He used this opportunity to smoothly complete the transaction.

Pretending to be indignant, he warned Hua Bao, "If we do business in the future, don’t play tricks. I despise deceitful people the most."

"Naturally... naturally."

Hua Bao said, "The stone temple has already been handed over to you, Mr. We will remove the eyes for you shortly."

"No need to trouble yourselves with removing the eyes; I’ll handle it myself." Zhou Xuan declined Hua Bao’s goodwill.

He was not worried about inconvenience but feared Hua Bao might replace the old eyes with new, harder-to-detect ones.

"It’s naturally better for Mr. to take matters into his own hands."

Hua Bao continued, "As for Hu Muhua’s life and the Hundred Human Phenomena, we will deliver them to you tomorrow."

"Cash on delivery is a basic principle of business; I understand that. As for tomorrow... I’m afraid of unexpected changes."

Zhou Xuan was very distrustful of Hua Bao.

Hua Bao, on the other hand, laughed and said, "Mr., once the transaction is complete, we will do it with utmost sincerity and never deceive you. Rest assured.

Traditionally, people may deceive Heaven and Earth, but have you ever seen Heaven and Earth deceive people?"

At this moment, the incense fire Taoist who had been quietly observing Zhou Xuan’s transaction finally spoke, gently stroking his horsetail whisk,

"Zhou Housheng, it might take some time to arrange for Hu Muhua’s life and the Hundred Human Phenomena. Even the Dan Taker may not be able to produce them immediately."

"However, it’s understandable that you fear unexpected changes. In that case, I’ll personally guarantee you. If ’Heaven and Earth’ fail to deliver the promised items in full, I’ll take responsibility and help you retrieve them."

In Jing Country’s rural areas, it is common practice to have a guarantor, whether for business dealings or loans.

"Old Incense, I trust your character. You are a suitable guarantor."

Since the incense fire Taoist vouched for it, Zhou Xuan no longer insisted on a fixed delivery time, saying, "Let’s go with what you said, deliver it tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr., for making it possible."

The vine shook a few times, guiding Hua Bao to bow to Zhou Xuan, after which Zhou Xuan threw the Broken Palm Elixir in his hand to Hua Bao.

Hua Bao did not catch it, allowing the broken palm to fall to the ground.

Once on the ground, the broken palm flexed its five fingers, digging into the cracks, and exerted strength to stand, trembling.

In the Xie Family’s Cave, tens of thousands of green vines sprouted, clusters of green shadows resembling lush reeds.

Among the shifts, countless transparent flowers blossomed.

"What a beautiful spring~ like the waters of the spring river~ what a beautiful spring~ that can’t be retained."

Every flower sang a soft, sweet melody, like enchanting singers, luring the broken palm to listen.

Unable to resist the lure of the song, the broken palm used its middle and index fingers as feet, moving toward the clusters of flowers.

Once it entered the flower clusters, all the flowers bloomed, their stamens being fingers,

each finger covered with black or white hair.

As the broken palm passed by, those fingers snatched at it, tearing off a piece of flesh, causing it pain, though it continued toward the song,

like a moth drawn to a flame,

and when the broken palm reached the depths of the flower cluster, it had become a skeleton. A large flower enveloped it, and the chilling sounds of "gnawing bones, devouring bones" echoed.

Once the noise ceased, all the vines retreated into the ground, and the Xie Family’s Cave returned to tranquility.

...

"Zhou Housheng, the night has finally passed."

The incense fire Taoist was thoroughly relaxed.

This night, Mingjiang Prefecture was far from peaceful.

With Tun Jia Taishang seeking revenge, Buddha Country Five Forms attempting to seize elixirs, the Dream Realm Heavenly God fearing exposure, and the Sky Dome White Jade City testing the Dan Officer...

The dangers were everywhere, making Mingjiang Prefecture the most perilous place, yet Zhou Xuan resolved each crisis.

A play, a pill furnace,

"This night, Zhou Xuan, you dazzled Jing Country; by tomorrow, every hall disciple in Jing Country’s Nine Prefectures will likely know of you as the Mr. of Mingjiang Prefecture."

The Butcher also said so.
