Chapter 1589 - 584: Jade Capital Apostle (2)

This ancient beauty, surrounded by a subtle floral fragrance, looks like she walked straight out of a fantasy romance drama.

"I just came through... The Divine Master’s words are so mysterious, Fu Yao doesn’t understand them."

Zhou Xuan coughed dryly and said, "You don’t need to understand. Speak up, what are you here for?"

Zhu Fuyao didn’t hide her attitude, straightforwardly said, "Bai Yujing needs elixirs from the Master, and sent me to fetch them."

After speaking, Zhu Fuyao looked eagerly at the Lotus Tripod and said, "This furnace produces top-grade elixirs using the Five Great Buddhist Slaves as material. Master, your handiwork has always been this grand."

"Let’s not sweeten things first."

Zhou Xuan blocked Zhu Fuyao, asking, "What if I refuse to teach you the elixir?"

"If the Master is unwilling to hand over the elixir, Fu Yao can only send you to meet the Flower God."

"People from Bai Yujing, after death, all go to meet the Flower God. Even if Master hasn’t entered Bai Yujing, since you’re the Master, you are naturally one of the people of Jade Capital,

and upon death, should enjoy this honor."

Zhou Xuan nodded, indeed, the apostles sent from Bai Yujing to the mortal world are just this forceful,

either surrender the elixir, or face death.

Zhou Xuan, however, crossed his arms, looking unconcerned, asking Zhu Fuyao, "Envoy, I have a question for you."

"If the Master has a question, Fu Yao will certainly do her utmost to answer."

Zhou Xuan pointed to the Lotus Tripod, "I heard there are many Pill Masters in Jade Capital?"

"That’s natural."

Zhu Fuyao said proudly, "The orthodox path of alchemy lies in Bai Yujing. In Jade Capital, there are countless Pill Masters, many Dan Zhengs, and among those who deeply understand alchemy’s supreme truths, there are eleven Dan Masters,

above the Dan Masters, there’s a Mr. Ding, overseeing the eleven Dan Masters."

Zhou Xuan nodded, saying, "Given that the number of Sky Dome Alchemists is so numerous and the array is so formidable, the elixirs in Bai Yujing must be countless as grains of sand."

"That’s natural."

Zhu Fuyao added, "Elixirs scattered in the human world, no matter how good or wonderful, if they reach Bai Yujing, they’re just worthless goods, beneath the Dharma Eye of Jade Capital."

Zhou Xuan immediately scoffed, saying, "Since Jade Capital’s elixirs are as good as you say, why have you set your eyes on my elixirs and won’t let them go?

Could it be, Jade Capital is too poor, lacking good elixirs, hence the urge to plunder everywhere?

If you’re poor, just admit it openly. Since my name hangs with the badge of Jade Capital, I’ll spare you some elixir."

Zhu Fuyao, after being rebuked by Zhou Xuan, turned beet red, she first glared at Zhou Xuan angrily, then could not help but burst into laughter.

"You’re laughing even when saying Jade Capital is poor? How can you laugh?" Zhou Xuan reprimanded.

Fu Yao, with willow-shaped eyebrows, replied to Zhou Xuan, "You, the Master, are quite interesting. In Jing Country, there are many experts, who typically say Jade Capital is brutal, yet only you disdain Jade Capital for poverty..."

"Not poor... Then why risk the dangers of the Lower Realm to steal my elixir?"

"Master, your elixir is not ordinary, crafted with the Five Great Buddhist Slaves."

"It hasn’t been opened yet, how do you know it’s extraordinary?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

Zhu Fuyao replied, "The combined Five Great Buddhist Slaves amounts almost to a Heavenly God, any elixir crafted would naturally be the best of the best."

Initially wanting to call Heavenly God Level as a doctor, according to Bai Yujing’s terminology, but in the human world, she forcibly changed to Heavenly God.

"It’s not that simple."

Zhou Xuan sneered, saying, "As I know, Sky Dome classifies elixirs into twelve grades, First Grade being the highest,

since this grading exists, naturally there’s First-grade Elixirs. Let me ask you, how many First-grade Elixirs does Jade Capital get each year?"

"First-grade Elixirs are hard to find, even Bai Yujing can only obtain ten to fifteen elixirs a year. If it encounters a poor year, less than ten is not impossible."

Fu Yao straightforwardly answered Zhou Xuan’s queries,

her attitude truly matches her promise—if the Master asks, Fu Yao will answer to the best of her ability.

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Then tell me, is the elixir in this furnace behind me possibly a First-grade Elixir?"

"Can’t guarantee First-grade, but there’s hope... ugh... a high hope..."

Zhu Fuyao said so.

Zhou Xuan then clapped his hands and pointed sharply at Zhu Fuyao, saying, "That’s what I thought, Bai Yujing was watching like an audience, why suddenly send an envoy to the Lower Realm,

there’s clearly something fishy!"

Zhu Fuyao was baffled by Zhou Xuan’s words, feeling they weren’t discussing any profound topics, just talking about the excess of Jade Capital Divine Pills, flaunting wealth,

but Zhou Xuan still mentioned something tricky here.

"Master, not sure what trickiness you mean." Zhu Fuyao asked earnestly.

Zhou Xuan replied, "You obtain ten to fifteen First-grade Elixirs annually in Bai Yujing, in ten years, that’s around a hundred to a hundred and fifty elixirs,

this indicates that although First-grade Elixirs are precious, they’re not century-rare in Bai Yujing,

you certainly wouldn’t come to the mortal world for one First-grade Elixir."

Zhu Fuyao sensed some implication, vaguely aware of something, her expression dimming, she reached her jade-like hand to gesture at Zhou Xuan and said,

"Indeed, the First-grade Elixirs of Sky Dome are mostly crafted by the Sky Dome Eleven Palaces. Some elixirs are crafted by Jade Capital itself,

though Jade Capital likes elixirs, in these hundred years, they’ve never actually resorted to stealing,
