Chapter 1612 - 592: Yu Jing Spear God (Happy New Year)

The Eternal Life Sect Leader pointed at the Tianchi Pill Master and Zhu Zhenggang, and said to the Tiancan Monk with a mysterious tone, "What do you think these two Lords of the Jade Capital are doing in the human world?"

"To reward Zhou Dangzheng, apologize to him, and then summon back Zhu Fuyao, for fear that the female apostle of the Jade Capital might accidentally harm Dan Zheng."

The Tiancan Monk recounted truthfully.

He was just saying what he saw. The Eternal Life Sect Leader puckered his lips and said with a hint of mockery, "You kid, your eyes are so straightforward, you see what you see... Can’t you look a bit deeper?"

"I can’t see deeper. You know me, the left half of my head is dough, and the right half is water. I can’t move it, or it’ll turn into mush."

The Tiancan Monk said angrily, with such confident words, as if he were the one with the reason.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader then said,

"You mentioned rewarding Zhou Dangzheng, which is just an announcement, along with apologizing and summoning back Zhu Fuyao, these matters could be handled by sending another envoy from the Jade Capital. Why invite those two lords to descend to the mortal realm?"

"Those two lords hold high positions and power. Not to mention us divine beings who guard the Heavenly Fire Clan, even our Changsheng Palace’s Palace Master, Qing Yangyu, may not get to see them when visiting Bai Yujing."

Upon hearing this, the Tiancan Monk finally understood and asked, "Does the leader mean that the presence of the two lords is quite unusual?"

"Not entirely unusual. The fact that the Jade Capital sent these two lords only indicates that in the Jade Capital, there’s a bigger figure backing Zhou Dangzheng."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader said, "Just like the Sequencer mentioned by Master Zhu."

"Ah, then we two are even more remarkable."

The Tiancan Monk said, "With a real bigwig from the Jade Capital supporting Zhou Dangzheng and us being on Dan Zheng’s side, when we return to Changsheng Palace, wouldn’t we walk sideways?

As the saying goes, one must watch out for the owner when hitting the dog."

"Aren’t you worried about being the dog?" The Eternal Life Sect Leader said with a smirk.

"What’s wrong with being a dog?"

When the Tiancan Monk began discussing the topic of "being a dog", he became even more indignant and said,

"All these years under the Heavenly Dome, have we not been watchdogs? Serving someone as a dog is still serving; at least this time, I chose a good master."

He was quite straightforward, pounding his chest loudly and said, "Being a dog for someone like Dan Zheng is more imposing than those insignificant people of the Heavenly Fire Clan,

Besides, with Dan Zheng around, we’ll have our fill."

"Not just having our fill, we’ll be rich beyond measure."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader still held Zhou Xuan’s promise — in the future, he could get half of the elixirs produced in the fire pit of East Market Street.

With Zhou Xuan’s alchemical technique coveted even by the Jade Capital, just that half portion of elixirs could shortly make the Eternal Life Sect Leader one of the most generous God-level beings under the Heavenly Dome.

The Heavenly Fire Clan people are almost universally enamored with elixirs. Holding such elixirs, who among the high-minded Heavenly Fire Clan wouldn’t give the Eternal Life Sect Leader a bit of face?

"Indeed, serving as a dog to someone isn’t an issue if it’s a good master. Sometimes being a dog is better than being a person."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader shook his rattle, very pleased with himself. He and the Tiancan Monk already indulged in dreams of a beautiful future life.

They chatted happily together, sharing the same joyful mood with Zhu Zhenggang.

This Lord of the Divine Central Palace of Bai Yujing walked at a leisurely pace, circling around Zhou Xuan’s "Breaking Qiang Stele",

While circling, he murmured,

"Truly an outstanding piece, no wonder even the Sequencer admired it greatly."

"In Jade Capital, one might not see much from this calligraphy, but now that I touch the original, I realize every word in this piece contains war intent."

"Each stroke is a weapon."

He was observing with delight, but Zhou Xuan was rather unhappy. He sighed and said, "I’ve labored with heart and soul to write a good piece, which lets Fu Yao grasp the Tao within, you, Master Zhu, can also realize the Tao here,

even those in the Jade Capital, many can grasp the Tao from me, yet I can’t, which is so frustrating and vexing."

Zhou Xuan felt a sense of regret as if he had painstakingly grown a big cabbage only to have heaps of wild boars ravage it.

"Zhou Dangzheng, do not be discouraged. Today, a Sequencer from the Jade Capital descends, and he is a great calligrapher. If he could give you some guidance, you might grasp a trick or two from your own calligraphy."

"Oh?" Zhou Xuan couldn’t help but arch his eyebrows,

This topic from Zhu Zhenggang really piqued his interest.

According to Zhou Xuan’s recent close conversation with Zhu Fuyao, he nearly understood—the Jade Capital is also a place with a strict hierarchy.

A Saint is the highest existence in the Jade Capital.

Below the Saints, there are the Sequencers.

Below the Sequencers are Mr. Ding, Granny Qian, various Dan Masters, and the Lords of the Four Great Divine Palaces.

Sequencers in the Jade Capital are second to one and above many others. Presumably, they have considerable insights in Taoism. If I could get his guidance...

Zhou Xuan immediately asked, "How can I get guidance from the Sequencer?"

"It is not difficult. I will use the Flying Flower Message technique to deliver your wish to the Jade Capital."

Zhu Zhenggang’s right hand stretched out like an old ape, mumbling a spell, and a dark purple small flower blossomed in his palm.

When the small flower matured and bloomed, Zhu Zhenggang tapped the flower’s heart gently with his left index finger,

As soon as the finger was extended, the blooming flowers withered,

The withered flower instantly vanished,
