The evil cultivation of immortality, starting from an apprentice in a medicine shop

The entrance to Guangling City is bustling with people coming and going.

In the backyard of the medicine hall, a group of martial artists from a treasure-hunting and medicine-gathering team stood in the open space of the compound, constantly looking out, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Until a man in green clothes walked in from outside the courtyard and saw the young man in green clothes. Everyone showed joy and stood up to greet him.

"Helmsman!"

Qiu Zhen looked around at everyone, and then his eyes fell on Qin Jian, the captain of the treasure hunt and medicine collection team:

"Uncle Qin, how are you? Are the brothers okay?"

"It's nothing serious. A few brothers were injured, but their lives are not in danger. They will recover in ten days and a half."

The leader, the middle-aged burly martial artist Qin Jian, looked frightened:

"Unexpectedly, today's luck is so bad. There will be riots by small beasts in the suburbs of the mountains. If the helmsman hadn't come to the rescue, we brothers might not be able to come back this time."

Qiu Zhen knew the cause and effect of the matter, but it was useless to talk to them. He just nodded:

"My brother, there is no need to say more."

"Hehehe~"

All the martial artists smiled.

Most of the treasure-hunting and medicine-gathering teams are martial artists who come from martial arts backgrounds and value loyalty. This time, Qiu Zhen stepped in to help, and the martial artists of the herb-hunting team initially recognized their young boss, and suddenly got closer to him.

Qiu Zhen chatted with the martial arts masters for a while, gave them the healing medicine they usually refined, and after winning over people's hearts, he went back to the backyard to "Qiuzhen Residence" without waiting any longer.

After Qiu Zhen left, the martial arts masters of the treasure-hunting herbal team in the courtyard were talking about it.

"Dulmmaster Qiu is really capable, he can scare away the beasts with a roar of dragons and tigers."

"No, I'm afraid the helmsman will have a battle with the innate demon general later. The corners of his clothes are not torn. He must be able to do it easily and easily."

"Master Qiu is younger than my baby, but he has such great abilities. I don't know how he cultivated it. It's good to be born high."

"Who said Captain Qiu was of high origin? He is a native of Qingmu, and it is said that he also comes from a poor family."

"This is true."

Qiuzhenju Study Room

"It's an unexpected bonus."

Qiu Zhen was in a good mood.

He had grass-roots experience in all matters in the backyard of Guangling Pharmacy, and he also had Liu Anqing and Kang Zhuangyuan as envoys. He figured out the path in a few days and easily controlled the situation. However, the treasure hunting and herb collection team had been unable to intervene.

This time, it was a good opportunity to show off his strength and win over people's hearts.

Of course, what really made Qiu Zhen happy was not the common things in the medicine hall, but after a fight with Mei Qingshan, he faintly noticed that the bronze seal of the mountain god seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

"There is no movement at all."

Qiu Zhen played with the copper seal in his hand, curious.

He still remembered that a few days ago, Mei Qingshan came to his door, and the Mountain God Seal bloomed with golden light, looking "excited" and broken.

In fact, just now when he saw Mei Qingshan for the first time, he also felt the warm air radiating from the copper seal on his body, which resonated with Mei Qingshan, and he wished he could escape from his shackles and fly to Mei Qingshan.

However, after he fought with Mei Qingshan, the bronze seal of the mountain god suddenly stopped moving.

It's as if the "connection" between it and Mei Qingshan has been cut off by something.

"Could this be fighting for destiny?"

The two of them fought, and although it was said that he escaped before the battle, the fact was that Mei Qingshan was defeated.

Without the golden dragon appearing to protect the law, Mei Qingshan would definitely lose.

Umegoro failed in his "fight for destiny" and lost the favor of the "Seal of the Mountain God"?

Qiu Zhen thought to himself, and couldn't help but have wild thoughts in his mind.

Mei Qingshan lost to me. Could it be that his "luck" was transferred to me?

As soon as he thought of this, he had some vague expectations in his heart, playing with and studying the copper seal, trying to refine it and identify its master.

About an hour later.

Qiu Zhen closed the wooden lacquer box with mixed emotions.

After struggling for an hour and using various methods, there was still no movement. He still had no connection with the "Seal of the Mountain God".

However, it was not without gain.

Xu Shi's connection with Mei Qingshan was cut off, and some of the restrictions on the Mountain God Seal were loosened. The power of his soul penetrated the copper seal, and he could faintly feel a "spiritual" presence.

"It's spiritual. So, if you reach a higher level of Taoism in the future, you can hope to refine it?"

Qiu Zhen secretly guessed, and couldn't help but have expectations in her heart.

I am not afraid that the Mountain God Seal will be difficult to refine, but I am afraid that there will be no chance. As long as there is spirituality, it means being able to communicate and control.

"Master, Master, we are back."

While I was thinking about it, a clear childish voice came to my ears.

A strong wind came, and after a while, Atractylodes macrocephala and Xiao Zaozi appeared in the courtyard. In their hands, each held an herb soaked in soil.

Faintly, there was a flash of spiritual light.

There are exactly two precious medicinal herbs, one of Angelica sinensis and the other of White peony root.

"Master, here, I found them all."

Bai Shu presented the treasure and dedicated it to Qiu Zhen.

"The harvest is quite good!"

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly. He did not go to pick up the baby, but looked at Baizhu and Xiao Zaozi up and down. Perhaps he saw something and said with a smile:

"It just so happens that the precious medicine in your body has become turbid and weak. You can use these two magical herbs, Baizhu, to refine the [Little Immortal Beast Pill] to improve your strength."

"Thank you, sir."

After Baizhu thanked him, he happily took Xiao Zaozi to the kitchen to prepare herbal medicine for alchemy.

Qiu Zhen saw this and shook his head.

Speaking of which, spiritual herbs and precious medicines have great appeal to monsters and monsters.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary monsters and monsters without heels do not understand the dangers of "precious medicine turbid qi". If you have the ability to hunt for treasures, it is often not a good thing. If you take the treasure medicine indiscriminately, the turbid qi will accumulate seriously, and you will be unable to detoxify yourself later. This will cause you to encounter a "bottleneck" in your practice, and you will be unable to make any progress throughout your life.

Atractylodes macrocephala and Xiaozaozi do not have this problem.

Qiu Zhen learned Guo Wenju's magical method of taming beasts. There is a kind of elixir called [Little Immortal Beast Pill], which is specially used to cultivate monsters and monsters. After using the elixir of magical herbs and precious medicines to make the elixir, it can improve the skills and cultivation of monsters. , and the turbid poison is much less than taking the magical herbs directly.

With him under his control and with a large number of spiritual herbs and precious medicines, Atractylodes and Zaozi practice will be much faster than those of monsters and monsters in the wild.

As for Qiu Zhen, he has no plans to take any more magical herbs or elixirs to enhance his power.

After learning "The Theory of Pure and Turbid Qi of Heaven and Earth" with his master An Jishi, he deeply realized that immortal cultivators are no better than martial arts practitioners, monsters and monsters. Pills are nothing.

Those who practice immortality drink dew and eat the clouds, which is the best way to extract the pure Qi of heaven and earth.

Of course, the biggest reason why Qiu Zhen has the confidence not to take the spiritual herbs is that he currently has top-notch bones [Golden Muscles and Jade Bones], as well as the ability to refine demons and extract pure [Aura Essence].

The devil's [Aura Essence] is much better than the spiritual herbs and elixirs.

After thinking about this, Qiu Zhen thought of something and went to the front yard to find the third senior sister Yu Lanyin.

"Leave the patient to exorcise evil spirits to you?"

In a side hall in the front yard, Yu Lanyin listened to her junior brother's request, her pretty face was full of doubts:

"Junior brother, are you addicted to going to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil spirits?"

"Ahem~"

Qiu Zhen smiled awkwardly and joked casually:

"I have a little wood spirit under my command, and it is equipped with a wooden yang thunder. Exorcising evil spirits is good for its growth."

"I see!"

Yu Lanyin knew that her junior brother had such a little wood spirit.

A few days ago, her junior brother also gave her a thunder jujube fruit that can heal injuries. She is a knowledgeable person and treasures it very much.

"Since it is good for little dates, I will leave all the exorcism patients in the medicine hall to you and cultivate the little dates. I will want to eat dates next year."

"Okay, if it bears fruit next year, senior sister will be indispensable."

The two were talking and laughing.

Soon, Yu Lanyin remembered something and said:

"Junior brother, I heard that your treasure hunting and medicine gathering team encountered trouble today?"

"It's okay, there are monsters in the mountains causing trouble, I took action to put an end to it."

"That's good. I've sorted out my front yard affairs and finally settled down."

Saying that, Yu Lanyin took a sip of tea, and then said worriedly:

"It's just that our second senior brother is in trouble. The Hong family brothers are not convinced by the second senior brother and are very independent. They have been fighting with the Tianlang Sect for medicine fields for several days, but to no avail."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly, not surprised at all.

The three of them are young brothers and it is difficult to convince the public. Fortunately for them, there are no innate masters in the front and back yards. Their realm is overwhelming and it is easy to control the situation.

Second senior brother Tong Yuncong faced a different situation.

Hong Tianxiao and his second senior brother Tong Yuncong were about the same cultivation level. They were a little older and had some minor conflicts in the past. On the surface, they were harmonious, but in their hearts they must be a little dissatisfied with the second senior brother's pressure on him, and they were dissatisfied with the division's dispatch.

The second senior brother Tong Yuncong wants to take complete control of Guangling Medicine Hall, so he will inevitably have a battle with the Hong brothers.

"Senior sister, we don't need to worry about this matter. Second senior brother has his own means. The two of us can just cooperate with senior brother on weekdays."

"That's true."

Yu Lanyin nodded.

The Hong brothers have the "Martial Arts Team" under their command, which controls the military force of Guangling Medicine Hall. The second brother is assisted by the two of them, and controls the finances, logistics, etc. of the medicine hall. They can also counter the Hong brothers, which is not without advantages.

The following days became fulfilling and peaceful.

Qiu Zhen travels between Qiujia Village and Guangling Medicine Hall every day, practicing and doing both.

The third senior sister, Yu Lanyin, was very interesting. She knew that Xiao Zaozi loved to exorcise evil spirits, so all the patients who received exorcisms from the medicine hall were handed over to Qiu Zhen.

Speaking of which, although Guangling Medicine Hall does not often encounter a large number of patients with "demon thoughts" as it did during the Mu Puppet Gate rebellion, it may be that because it is close to the mountains, the source of the outbreak of fairy miracles, the energy of evil spirits is more intense.

Martial arts masters often come to the medicine hall to exorcise evil spirits. Occasionally, one of them has "evil thoughts" and gives him a little surprise.

A magic thought is a ball of "spiritual essence", which can save you one or twenty days of hard work, or as many as twenty or thirty days.

Qiu Zhen possesses top-level root bones [Golden Muscles and Jade Bones], and his cultivation talent is top-notch. Occasionally there are "little surprises", and his cultivation level improves extremely quickly.

Before I knew it, three months had passed.

"It is expected that in eleven months, the initial practice of refining Qi will be completed."

Qiu Zhen looked at himself and felt very satisfied.

Three months ago, it would have taken him a year and eight months to complete the initial cultivation of [Refining Essence and Qi], but now, it only takes less than a year to complete it.

Among them, the half-year's hard work saved comes from the "spiritual essence" that comes from exorcising evil spirits.

"Three months is equivalent to nine months for a top genius. Yes, the job at Guangling Medicine Hall is not bad, no worse than going to the Demon Suppression Department to exorcise evil spirits."

Qiu Zhen was in a good mood.

The helmsman of the backyard of Guangling Pharmacy has a monthly salary of fifty taels, which is a lot of money, but what he values ​​most is "exorcism."

There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. There are countless people hiding in various places, and no one can guarantee that they can survive in the gutter without capsizing.

Exorcising evil spirits and harvesting "spiritual essence" is undoubtedly a stable shortcut to practice, which is much better than others fighting for immortality outside.

In just half a year, he is expected to break through to the middle stage of refining Qi, refining the form and condensing the True Gang, transforming the Night Travel God into the "Day Travel God", and catching up with his second senior brother Tong Yuncong, Lin Shoulong and others in cultivation.

In the Aoki Realm, he can be considered a master.

"When I break through and have the blessing of Yuan Shen Dharma Body, Lin Shoulong will definitely not be my opponent."

Qiu Zhen couldn't help but look forward to it.

That day, his master, An Jishi, stood up for him and beat Wei Tanzhi and Lin Shoulong violently in public, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this is an external force after all.

If he catches up with Lin Shoulong in cultivation and has the ability to slap him back in the future, that is completely different.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as Qiu Zhen was looking inside and adjusting his breath, a loud bang came from outside the house, which suddenly woke him up.

The sound was like the sound of breaking something, and there was also the faint sound of fighting.

What happened?

Qiu Zhen was curious.

As a major medical sect, Medicine King Valley has always been kind to people and has good relationships with people from all over the world. Although it occasionally conflicts with other forces over matters such as medicine mountains and medicinal collection sites, they generally have a sense of proportion and will not fight.

After all, no matter which force you are in, there will always be times when you are injured and seek help from the Medicine King Valley.

"Sir, Hong Tianbao is crazy and obsessed. He is beating and smashing randomly."

After eating the melon, Baizhu immediately reported the news to Qiu Zhen.

Going crazy?

Qiu Zhen immediately stood up, took three steps and two steps at a time, and rushed towards the place where the noise came from.

The entire Guangling Medicine Hall heard the commotion and rushed inside.

However, a group of sacrificial martial artists blocked the apprentices and stewards of the medicine shop from outside.

When Qiu Zhen arrived at the open space of the compound, he saw his second senior brother Tong Yuncong and deputy hall master Hong Tianxiao fighting together with Hong Tianbao.

At this moment, Hong Tianbao's eyes were red, his face was full of madness, and his whole body exuded a violent and evil aura, as if he was not a human being, but a demon who chose people to eat.

"Junior brother, don't go there."

When Yu Lanyin saw Qiu Zhen coming over, she stretched out her hand to stop Qiu Zhen, with a somewhat anxious look on her face:

"Hong Tianbao is possessed, his force is extremely terrifying, we are no match!"

Qiu Zhen looked over and looked at the three people who were fighting.

Just as senior sister Yu Lanyin said, Hong Tianbao, who is clearly only in the Innate Reality Realm, will appear extremely tough, with blood lingering all over his body, and is extremely fierce with every punch and claw. He is head-on with his second senior brothers Tong Yuncong and Hong Tianxiao, but he doesn't show any signs of it. Weak downwind.

He was fearless and fearless, and even had the upper hand. Neither of them could subdue him.

Baizhu, who was eating melon on the side, couldn't help but ask:

"Master, Sister Lan Yin, he is not an innate martial artist, how come he is possessed by a demon?"

"Martial masters can also become possessed by demons."

Yu Lanyin sighed and said:

"If there is an invasion by an external demon that is too powerful, even an innate martial artist will not be able to resist it and will go crazy. Hong Tianbao does not know where he provoked the powerful demon."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Qiu Zhen couldn't help but feel his heart pounding after hearing what senior sister Yu Lanyin said.

The opportunity to break through the middle stage of refining Qi seems to be coming.
