Wandering Gods of Day and Night

However, this Human Pill requires using some high monks who are well-versed in human Buddhist Law as materials for its refinement,

There aren’t too many temples in Jing Country, and there are even fewer high monks.

With fewer high monks, fewer Ancient Buddha Pills can be refined.

This pill, being a rare commodity, means that even in the human world’s Fire Pit, only two or three can be refined in a year.

However, these two or three pills, which are few to the extreme, must be supplied to Xuanpin Palace, and the Green Robed Buddha’s Golden Crow Palace doesn’t get a single Ancient Buddha Pill.

"But that Green Robed Buddha urgently needs this type of elixir, so only this kind of elixir can knock on the Green Robed Buddha’s door."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader had already returned to the Sky Dome Stone House with the Tiancan Monk.

This stone house actually has a formal name, called — Gate of Eternal Life.

The Heavenly Dome has twelve Heavenly Palaces, with twelve Taoist Palace Gates.

As God-level figures of the Changsheng Palace, the Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk, to see the Green Robed Buddha, cannot simply go directly to the "Golden Crow Gate" and knock.

Instead, they need someone like the Gatekeeper Zhong Guan to go to Qing Yangyu to obtain the necessary paperwork before contacting the gatekeeper of the Golden Crow Gate.

The gatekeeper of the Golden Crow Gate would then report to the Palace Master of the Golden Crow Palace, and once the Palace Master agrees, the Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk can pay their respects and enter.

In short, for God-level beings from different palaces to visit each other’s palaces requires permission from both Palace Masters.

The process cannot be said to not be cumbersome.

However, no matter how cumbersome the process, as long as Zhou Xuan is involved, it becomes much simpler.

On Qing Yangyu’s side, the way is naturally green-lit all throughout, without any intention of obstruction.

On the Golden Crow Palace side, however, the Palace Master was somewhat apprehensive.

He trusts the Green Robed Buddha immensely and knows that there is an old grievance between the Green Robed Buddha and Zhou Xuan, so upon hearing that the Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk were coming regarding Zhou Xuan, he felt conflicted.

"Qingyi, what do you think is the best course of action?"

Within the Golden Crow Palace, where flames were everywhere, the Palace Master discussed Buddhist Law with the Green Robed Buddha amidst the fire.

"Palace Master, do you want to let the Eternal Life Sect Leader and the others in?" the Green Robed Buddha asked.

"I know you have quite an old grievance with Zhou Xuan and certainly don’t want to see the Eternal Life Sect Leader,

but Zhou Xuan is now a Divine Pill Master, and a favored figure of the White Jade Capital. Offending him might be troublesome in the future."

The Palace Master expressed his dilemma.

The Green Robed Buddha then replied, "Palace Master, there’s no need for you to expend any effort. In my humble opinion, let the Eternal Life Sect Leader come,

they are here for Zhou Xuan, so it must be because Zhou Xuan has encountered significant difficulties in the human world and needs my intervention to resolve them,

I just won’t agree to help, and the Palace Master won’t lose any courtesy towards Zhou Xuan."

The Palace Master was greatly delighted upon hearing this—if such could be the case, it would indeed be best.

He would not bear the blame of offending Zhou Xuan, nor would he concern himself with angering the Green Robed Buddha.

"Since that’s the case, let them in. Qingyi, you talk things over. I won’t disturb you; I’ll head to the deep palace to contemplate Buddhist Law further."

The Palace Master of the Golden Crow Palace turned and walked toward the fiery halls of the deep palace,

In no time, the Tiancan Monk and Eternal Life Sect Leader simultaneously appeared beside the Green Robed Buddha.

"Green Robed Great Buddha, it’s been many years, yet your presence remains unchanged, unchanged,"

The Eternal Life Sect Leader complimented with an abundant smile.

But the Green Robed Great Buddha maintained a stony demeanor, with an air of alienation, saying, "Eternal Life Sect Leader, between us, there’s only old grievance, not friendship, so there’s no need for such insincerity."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader acted as if nothing happened, unruffled, merely stating the purpose of their visit: "Green Robed Buddha, I’m not here to build friendships; it’s Master Zhou who wishes to see you in the human world."

"Hmph, wants to see me? That’s simple; just return that Washing Guilt Talisman to me."

The Green Robed Buddha coldly stated.

"Old Buddha, be reasonable," Tiancan Monk, also of the Zen Sect and having had some relationship with the Green Robed Buddha in the past, interjected: "Your Washing Guilt Talisman script has already transformed into the Wordless Heavenly Scripture; how could it be returned to you?"

The Green Robed Buddha continued on with a cold superior air: "Since it can’t be returned—then please, both of you, leave. I will not meet with Zhou Xuan."
