Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Chapter 1386 - 517: Fiery Fire Flying Star (Part 2)

"What is this?""You’ll find out in a bit."

Zhou Xuan picked up the black vinyl record from the ground, directed another alchemy worker to grab a bag of coal from the floor, and said, "Follow me."

They went together to the Inner Hall, surrounded by the crowd.

He placed the phonograph on the wooden table and started fiddling with it.

With the experience of setting up a new phonograph for Yun Ziliang, Zhou Xuan handled it smoothly and got it running in no time.

As the steam turned the bearings and gears, soothing music began to play.

"Roses, roses blooming everywhere~ Youth, youth everywhere~ The unstoppable spring breeze blows into the heart~"

The melodious song flowed like a stream, and Manager Liu and others were dumbfounded, lost in the music, seemingly forgetting their reality as prisoners.

Especially Manager Liu, who leaned close to the phonograph, his ear pressed against the brass horn, smiling foolishly.

Zhou Xuan saw his smile like that of a train-obsessed fool and promptly asked, "Manager Liu, why are you smiling like a fool?"

"Hehe... hehe..."

"Why are you smiling!" Zhou Xuan felt a bit creeped out by the smile and asked.

Manager Liu pointed at the phonograph’s casing and said, "Mr., there must be a little female demon living inside, as soon as I hear her voice, I think of her figure."

"There’s no demon living in there." Zhou Xuan was shocked and quickly explained, fearing the alchemy workers might have some ideas about the phonograph.

"There must be one, Mr., don’t fool me."

"..." Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan was quite helpless, picked up a black vinyl record, pointed at the record, and said, "Listen, I’ll tell you plainly, this machine can play songs, actually it’s related to this record..."

He was about to explain the record’s phonograph knowledge when an alchemy worker named Li Zhengguang picked up a record next to him, flipping it over repeatedly.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Master Zhou, this record is so thin, where is the female demon hiding?"

"Hiding your granny."

Zhou Xuan was both amused and annoyed, these backward alchemy workers, their brains seemed to be fixated on female demons.

"Forget it, if you believe there’s a female demon, then there’s a female demon."

Zhou Xuan was afraid that some "unnatural" events would occur in the Inner Hall, so he made preparations beforehand.

Pointing at the phonograph’s brass horn, he said, "Don’t randomly stuff things into this hole."

"Got it."

Then, Zhou Xuan pointed at the coal inlet and said, "Don’t stuff things into this hole either, there’s an open flame, be careful you don’t get burned, you bunch of morons."

"Understood, understood," Manager Liu replied.

Zhou Xuan thoroughly checked the phonograph again to ensure there were no other openings that could be meddled with, then pointed at the screw on the oil change cover plate and said, "This screw shouldn’t be removed, and don’t stuff things inside, otherwise the female demon in the phonograph won’t sing."

"Stuff things inside and it won’t sing? Why?" Li Zhengguang asked with innocent eyes, gazing upward.

Zhou Xuan hadn’t answered yet,

Manager Liu, in an "old hand" manner, flicked Li Zhengguang on the forehead and said, "If someone stuffs something in your mouth, can you still talk?"

"..." Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan thought Manager Liu’s explanation was quite vivid, although it had nothing to do with the actual principle, his words should keep these alchemy workers from poking some unspeakable things into the phonograph.

"Manager Liu is clever." Zhou Xuan praised, "Alright, do whatever you want, phonograph, books, magazines, newspapers, play with whatever you like."

He clapped his hands, and those alchemy workers sat around the phonograph, continuing to listen to that gentle song.

However, each of them held a record in their arms, faces pressed against the record, smiling foolishly,

the scene was extremely bizarre.

"They’re all a bunch of sick people."

Zhou Xuan cursed humorously as he walked back to the Pill Furnace, then activated the White Cicada within the Secret Realm, allowing him to use incense.

Once the incense was reignited in the Ancient Hall, he released all his perception.

His perception condensed into a thin line and connected with the Green and Red Fish in the Pill Furnace.

Then, the eyes of the Green and Red Fish became his own eyes.

He could see the scene inside the furnace.

Tiancan Monk saw Zhou Xuan’s dazed expression and didn’t know what was going on, so he quietly asked Alchemist Bai Lu, "Alchemist Bai, what is Master Zhou doing?"

"Oh, Mr. has a skill."

"What skill?"

"He can enter the perception into the Pill Furnace and see everything happening inside."

"..." Tiancan Monk squinted tightly as if inhaling furnace ash.

He had ascended to the Heavenly Dome for many years and seen many alchemists, but when had he ever seen someone able to see the scene inside the Pill Furnace?

This is ridiculous!

"Our Mr. truly has this ability, otherwise how could such a broken furnace refine over six hundred elixirs?" Alchemist Bai Lu said with some pride.

Tiancan Monk thought it made sense, only someone who could do what others couldn’t could become a rising star in the Alchemy World.

"Old Bai Lu, you must remember, the third-grade elixir and those Joyful Longevity Pills are not produced in the same way."

Zhou Xuan’s voice came out, and Alchemist Bai Lu knew it was time for alchemy lessons, quickly raised his ears, and listened intently.

"Joyful Longevity Pills are made from the blood and flesh of Joy Demons, refined in the Pill Furnace by the furnace fire."

"But this elixir refined from Desire Pill does not follow the same scene."

Zhou Xuan explained to Alchemist Bai Lu what he saw, "All the fire retreats from the Desire Pill of Joy Demons, then the fire transforms into countless tiny Flying Stars, constantly striking the Desire Pill,
