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

As the saying goes, it is better to do it on the day you choose than to wait for it.

Qiu Zhen meditated and practiced martial arts all night, and it was now the Yin hour, about three or four in the morning.

It was too late to go to bed, and he could not sleep for long.

It was too early to go to work in the medicine shop.

He simply took his axe, carried a bamboo basket and atractylodes on his back, and headed for the mountain.

Soon, he walked out of the outskirts of Qingmu Town along the official road, left the scope of the human hunting area, and entered the uninhabited deep mountains and old forests.

In fact, in the past, Qiu Zhen, Big Head Zhao Dou, and Skinny Monkey Shen Liang went up the mountain to collect herbs, all within the "human territory" and would not enter the deep mountains and old forests.

Even if they went out, they would wander around the edge and dare not go deep, for fear of encountering large beasts or even monsters.

Everything has two sides.

There are people patrolling the "human territory" regularly, and it is relatively safe to go up the mountain to hunt and collect herbs, but the resources are relatively scarce.

On the one hand, the human race has been developing for a long time, and the resources in the mountains are relatively scarce and barren.

Secondly, every mountain, forest, river, and lake in the "human territory" has an owner, either belonging to the government, or the private property of a wealthy family, or the collective property of some villages, and outsiders are not allowed to touch it.

If anyone goes into the mountains to "steal things" casually and is caught, he will inevitably be beaten, taken to see the officials, and finally have to pay a fine.

Qiu Zhen used to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and he went to the government-run mountains, forests, and waters.

At certain times of the year, the government allows people to go up the mountain to collect herbs, hunt, and fish.

However, 50% of the "harvest" must be handed over.

The resources of the government-run forests are already scarce, and after paying the "herb collection and hunting tax", it is basically just hard-earned money. After working hard for most of the day, he still earns less than he does working in the medicine shop.

Therefore, he was not very enthusiastic about it before.

He just occasionally went out of the human territory, wandered around the wilderness, and tried his luck.

However, this time with Bai Zhu leading the way, the situation is different.

As soon as they left the human territory, Qiu Zhen released the white fox in the bamboo basket behind him and let it lead the way.

Bai Shu is a mountain elf. Once he returns to the wilderness, he doesn't need to tuck his tail and restrain his breath. He is like a fish in water, very comfortable, and he crosses the hills and bushes like a gust of wind, amazingly fast.

Fortunately, Qiu Zhen successfully built his foundation and made great progress in martial arts, so he barely kept up and didn't fall behind.

With the fox demon leading the way, the journey was very smooth.

Half an hour later.

Qiu Zhen followed the white fox all the way, walked almost 20 miles of mountain road, and came to a small hill with the sun behind.

Bai Shu is familiar with the road, and with one leap, he followed the rocks and vines on the mountain wall and came to a place a hundred meters above the ground. The fox claws scratched and soon revealed a cave the size of a dog hole.

"嘤嘤嘤~"

Bai Shu called out, and the fox claws kept gesturing, pointing to the vast mountains and fields around him, with a proud face.

Qiu Zhen was in tune with Bai Shu and soon understood what he meant.

This cave is Bai Shu's nest. Several small hills within a mile or two are his territory.

Whenever a powerful beast invades, he will decisively fight them off and defend his territory.

The "treasure medicine Bai Shu" presented to him before came from the nearby hills.

"So that's it!"

Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly and looked around.

This place belongs to the hilly area. There are no high mountains or giant peaks, but the hills and hills are rolling and the dragons and snakes are rising, which is quite spectacular.

Qiu Zhen took Bai Shu to the top of the mountain, looked far away and observed the surrounding terrain.

However, he had not yet dabbled in the art of geomancy and feng shui, so he did not see any clues.

Looking from a high place, the third eye between his eyebrows did not "see" anything strange.

Along the way, Qiu Zhen was not idle while following Bai Shu on the road. He was testing the "spiritual eye" of the "third eye" all the way.

After many experiments, he had a general understanding of the "spiritual eye" supernatural power.

The visual range of the "spiritual eye" to see "spiritual objects" is about 100 meters, and the closer it is, the easier it is to perceive.

Once Bai Shu is far away, running one or two hundred meters away, his "spiritual eye" is difficult to perceive and it is easy to lose the target.

In the end, it is necessary to rely on the spiritual platform Yuanshen Dharma body to find Bai Shu.

"Bai Shu, let's go around."

Qiu Zhen is not "waiting for the rabbit".

Spiritual herbs and precious medicines are nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and the natural energy of mountains and rivers. Although it is full of chance, there is a high probability that other spiritual herbs and precious medicines will appear in the place where spiritual herbs and precious medicines are born.

It is precisely because of this that if someone finds spiritual herbs and precious medicines in a certain place, the "herb collectors" will flock to it the next day and dig three feet in the ground around to search for treasures.

Many times, some people really hit the jackpot and dig up spiritual herbs and precious medicines.

Qiu Zhen also came here with this idea in mind to try his luck.

After all, he has a "spiritual eye", which makes it easier for him to find spiritual herbs and precious medicines.

At that moment, Qiu Zhen took Bai Zhu to search for treasures around.

Speaking of which, the resources in the deep mountains and old forests are indeed much richer than those in the official mountains and forests.

After half an hour, Qiu Zhen did not find any spiritual herbs and precious medicines, but the bamboo basket behind him was filled with a small amount of licorice, dandelion, atractylodes and other herbs, which was a good harvest.

"嘤嘤嘤~"

The fox demon Bai Zhu followed him around and was very confused when he saw the "god" digging useless weeds everywhere.

"There are no spiritual herbs and precious medicines here, forget it, let's go back after a walk."

Qiu Zhen jumped onto a rock, intending to take a last look from a high place, then go home and rush back to the town's medicine shop to work.

However, just as he glanced casually, the "third eye" between his eyebrows glowed with golden light.

"Huh~"

Qiu Zhen was surprised and doubtful, and then his face showed ecstasy.

In the distant valley, there was a faint flash of spiritual light.

He immediately wanted to start looking for treasure, but at this moment, a force under his feet pulled him back.

It was the fox demon Bai Shu.

Bai Shu cried anxiously, and his fox claws gestured quickly.

"Will you get lost if you go in? Can't get out? Is it dangerous?"

Qiu Zhen was stunned when he heard the words.

Except for a small forest in front of him and a mountain stream passing through, the rest was wild grass and shrubs. The whole was very open, not a deep mountain forest with no bottom.

He immediately thought of something.

Qiu Zhen, the spiritual body of the Dharma body, closed his eyes and retracted the magical power of "spiritual eyes".

He looked again with his naked eyes, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The valley disappeared.

He saw lush and overlapping forests in front of him, which seemed to be bottomless, gloomy and deep.

There was also white mist floating in the air.

"Is this... a ghost wall? A trick?"

Qiu Zhen was delighted, and his [Heavenly Eyes] worked.

At that moment, he did not think much, awakened the eye between his eyebrows, and walked straight towards the valley.

Bai Zhu was stunned for a while when he saw the "god" going there, and soon followed him.

After about dozens of breaths.

Qiu Zhen took Bai Zhu and jumped over the stream that was about one meter wide.

The next moment, the surrounding scene changed.

The valley wasteland covering an area of ​​three or four acres appeared in front of him.

Here, the sun shines directly, forming a huge contrast with the gloom and depth outside.

"嘤嘤嘤~"

Bai Zhu was amazed at the scene in front of him.

It had also mistakenly entered the valley before, trapped inside, and almost starved to death inside.

Never expected that there was a different world in the valley.

"It is worthy of being a god!"

The little fox demon was amazed in his heart, secretly rejoicing for his choice.

On the other side, Qiu Zhen was also secretly amazed.

The reason is simple.

After entering the valley, a starry light appeared in front of him under the vision of the "Heavenly Eye" between his eyebrows.

Qiu Zhen swallowed his saliva and exclaimed in his heart:

"What a blessed place, I'm going to make a fortune!"
