Do not die

After sneaking back to the Zuowang Pavilion, Meng Zhou went straight back to the quiet room and soon entered a deep state of concentration.

When he finished today's practice, he found that it was already bright.

An unexpected surprise was that during this daily practice, his upper limit of life increased by 1 again.

This was the Water Nourishment and Moisturizing Technique that once again brought him an unexpected surprise during his daily practice after nearly two months.

…

Although the established practice plans were often disrupted due to the appearance of Hu Gui, the daily practice tasks were not interrupted, but it only caused more trouble in time management.

The progress of his cultivation was slightly faster than he expected. This was the gain brought about after he replaced the Lingmi Lingcha with higher quality.

The progress of cultivation has changed from +7 every two days to +8 every two days.

Although the effect is not as outstanding as taking Qi Yang Dan directly, it is better than having any side effects.

On this day, during the talisman making process, in addition to the light body talisman +50 and the flying arrow talisman +40, Meng Zhou also successfully learned a new talisman.

A first-level mid-grade talisman, an ice talisman.

This is a talisman he selected from the talisman books provided by Zhou Quan.

Now that his attainments in Talisman Dao have been upgraded to the first-level high-grade, he certainly can't keep wandering around in the first-level low-grade talismans.

However, the biggest difference between his first-level high-grade and other first-level high-grade ones is his serious lack of experience. It would be very difficult to directly get started with the first-order high-grade talismans.

Moreover, he did not have a first-grade high-grade talisman on hand, and he had exactly 80 first-grade mid-grade talisman obtained from Zhou Quan, so he decided to choose a first-order mid-grade talisman as a stepping stone.

The first-level high-level Talisman Taoists learned the first-level middle-level Talisman, and they were able to get started without much effort.

"I have to go to the market tomorrow to replenish some talisman materials."

Seeing that there were not many talisman materials in hand, Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

After completing today's practice tasks, Meng Zhou took out Hu Gui's storage bag and wanted to take stock of what he had gained.

The result of the cleaning made Meng Zhou quite disappointed.

There are 8 medium-grade spiritual stones and 500 low-grade spiritual stones.

A first-level high-grade spirit-gathering array disk.

A first-order high-grade flying sword.

A first-level mid-grade robe with a damaged heart.

A pair of first-level mid-level magic boots.

In addition, there is Lingmi Lingcha worth about two hundred low-grade Lingshi.

There are also some practical talismans, monster meat, etc., with a total value of no more than a hundred low-grade spiritual stones.

Although in terms of total value, the harvest this time far exceeds the previous ones.

But Meng Zhou always felt that this was far from matching the net worth that he, the proprietor of the Zuowang Pavilion and the hidden devil, deserved.

However, this also confirmed some of his speculations.

Among these items, the most valuable one is undoubtedly the first-order high-grade spirit gathering array disk.

Not only is a first-order high-grade spirit gathering array solidified on it, but there are also two first-order mid-grade concealment arrays and defensive arrays.

Meng Zhou had never come into contact with such a high-end item before, but he speculated that its value would not be less than forty mid-grade spiritual stones, which would be more than enough to exchange for two first-grade high-grade magic weapons.

And its greatest value is that it ensures continuous practice even after leaving the spiritual place.

Only practitioners who need to leave spiritual places frequently and travel between different spiritual places have the need to use this thing.

If you only do it occasionally, there is no need to pay such a high price.

Of course, if you are someone with strong financial resources and don't care about the cost of spiritual stones, just pretend he didn't say this.

However, this Hu Gui didn't even have a first-grade high-grade defensive magic weapon. The only robes related to defense were only of first-grade mid-grade quality. This shows that he is not a master who has enough spiritual stones to spend.

Under such circumstances, it seemed very strange that he invested a large amount of spirit stones into the spirit gathering array disk that was rarely used by most monks.

Coupled with the fact that his storage bag contained a large amount of Lingmi Lingcha, which was easy to carry and suitable for outdoor use, Meng Zhou could conclude that Hu Gui must often travel back and forth between different spiritual veins.

And in every spiritual vein, there is a "fish" he raised.

…

The next day, Yu Peng was in the stone chamber.

Meng Zhou met Chu Zheng again and the three new patients he sent personally.

Meng Zhou just nodded to him and looked at the other two people who were more curious about him.

The silent young man who was used as a cover by Hu Gui sat quietly in the corner of the living room.

Yan Xiong was also waiting quietly accompanied by Miao Lin. Even though he knew the inside story in detail, he couldn't see much difference.

According to the order, Meng Zhou first diagnosed and treated Yan Xiong.

He also took this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive examination of Yan Xiong's body. After the examination, Meng Zhou frowned and said:

"Why is your condition so bad and your symptoms worse than last time? Could it be that I made a mistake in handling it and caused the erysipelas to rebound?"

Yan Xiong said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Pharmacist Zhou, it's all my fault. I didn't strictly follow the doctor's instructions. This is my problem."

"What's going on?" Meng Zhou asked.

There was obviously some dissatisfaction in his tone, and even the silent young man next to him cast curious glances.

Yan Xiong said "honestly": "After listening to your words last time, I was obsessed for a while. I wanted to take the opportunity to accumulate more medicinal power in my body to increase the chance of a breakthrough next time, so I took more of the problematic pills. The result...the result was a backlash.”

"Are you taking your own life as a joke?... If you don't do this next time, if you do this again and turn a deaf ear to what I told you, then don't come to my place and find someone else who knows better!" Meng Zhou warned with a straight face. Fan.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."

Yan Xiong hurriedly agreed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this level of difficulty had been passed.

He knew very well that he could hide his physical condition from everyone except Pharmacist Zhou.

For this reason, while taking the time to recover in the past two days, he also did a lot of cover-up work with Miao Lin. In order to make the symptoms more like what he said, he even took the initiative to create some new problems in the body.

All this thought was finally in vain, and he managed to get through it.

What he didn't know was that Meng Zhou also felt the same emotion as him.

"Finally got it fooled."

Meng Zhou was not sure whether other pharmacists could see that he was pretending, but for him who knew the correct result in advance, his disguise was simply fake.

However, of course, it was impossible for him to expose this layer. Instead, he cooperated with the other party's performance and turned a blind eye.

After completing the diagnosis and treatment of Yan Xiong, Meng Zhou began to treat the silent young man again.

While making diagnosis and treatment, I chatted with him and asked out of curiosity: "Why didn't Mr. Hu come with you today?"

The silent young man did not answer immediately. After a while, he said: "He has something to do today and can't come."

"Oh." Meng Zhou responded and didn't ask any more questions.

It gave the impression that this was just a casual chat, and he didn't really care whether the other party came today.

After a while, he said to the silent young man: "Okay, let's rest for a few days, and try not to do strenuous activities for the next three to five days."

"Thank you, Pharmacist Zhou." The silent young man pointed out the medical fee for a hundred low-grade spiritual stones and handed it to Meng Zhou.

I originally wanted to write more, but there are a lot of things during the Dragon Boat Festival today.

Also: I wish every book lover a happy holiday and safe family.
