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

Changlefu Town Demon Division, the backyard of the government office.

It's night and the courtyard is brightly lit.

A general wearing black armor entered the small courtyard.

The book boy heard the commotion and came out to greet him from a distance.

"Brother Yuan, the young master is waiting for you in the study."

"Um!"

Wei Yuan and the book boy nodded in greeting and went straight into the study.

"I've met the young master."

"Brother Yuan, sit down!"

Wei Tanzhi was very familiar with the visitor.

Both have the same surname of "Wei", and they have a close relationship. They came from the same Wei family in the capital, so they are a family. They have known each other since they were young and are very close.

However, Wei Tanzhi is a direct lineage, while Wei Yuan is a collateral lineage of the Wei family in the capital.

Wei Yuan is six or seven years older than Wei Tanzhi, and is over forty. His martial arts cultivation has reached the "Innate Inner Scenery Realm", and he is expected to become a martial arts master. He is also considered a young hero. He is a leader from the Wei family in the capital. He is also in the field of suppressing demons. Si experience.

A few days ago, Wei Tanzhi made a breakthrough in martial arts and entered the realm of "sympathy between heaven and man", becoming a half-step master. In addition, in the previous battle at the "Secret Realm of Immortals", he killed a large number of immortal cultivators and made great achievements. The court did not hesitate to do so. As a reward, he was promoted to the fourth rank, and a group of innate masters were assigned to the Changle Mansion to suppress the demons to enhance the prestige of the court.

Wei Yuan is one of the innate masters transferred from the Demon Suppression Division.

Moreover, it was the Wei family in the capital who assigned Wei Yuan to come to Changle Mansion to assist Wei Tanzhi.

At present, Wei Yuan was transferred to the deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Department of Changle Prefecture. He was the fifth rank, second only to Wei Tan, and was the true second-in-command of the Demon Suppression Department.

"Brother Yuan, is there any movement in Qiujia Village today?"

"Yes, the Demon King did send monsters there."

Wei Yuan has a thin body, a wasp's waist and ape-like arms. Different from Wei Tanzhi, who has tiger eyes and big yellow eyes, his eyes are like a hawk, with sharp eyes. At this moment, his eyes are leisurely and his expression is complicated:

"It's just that there was no movement. I saw the monster go in but not come out. There was no movement all afternoon."

Wei Tanzhi was enjoying his tea leisurely, looking like he was watching a good show. When he heard these words, he was slightly surprised:

"Nothing happened all afternoon?"

Others don't know, but Wei Tanzhi knows that his clan brother has cultivated one of the "Five Divine Powers": the clairvoyance. He can see clearly from miles away or even ten miles away. He can see through illusions and see what's going on in Qiujia Village. , absolutely cannot escape his divine eyes.

"Yes, the mountains behind Qiujia Village are shrouded in clouds and mist. Even I can't see clearly. Except for the fact that there were flames shooting into the sky at the beginning and a fierce battle was suspected, I have no idea what happened next."

After saying that, Wei Yuan thought of something and added:

"The two monsters that were traveling with it suddenly fled in a hurry in the afternoon. The monster that entered Qiujia Village must be in danger."

Wei Tanzhi asked calmly:

"What is the strength of the monster that entered Qiujia Village?"

Wei Yuan looked solemn: "It's a fire eagle monster, with great monster general strength."

"It happened."

Wei Tanzhi was slightly shocked, and the amusement look on his face disappeared.

Fire Eagle is a powerful local demon clan and has always been one of the most difficult monsters in the eyes of local martial arts masters. He is born with the magical power to control demonic fire, and he can fly across the sky and the earth with speed as fast as the wind, making him extremely difficult to control.

Many times, human martial artists can only passively take beatings when facing Fire Eagle monsters, and it is difficult to fight back.

The ordinary Fire Eagle little demon is extremely difficult to deal with, let alone a large demon general who can compete with the "Innate Inner Scenery".

To be honest, if he had not realized the "sympathy between heaven and man" and had not received the sky-controlling divine armor given by his clan, he would probably not be able to take any advantage in front of a great demon general, the Fire Eagle Monster.

Such a tyrannical monster entered Qiujia Village and died silently.

Wei Tanzhi frowned:

"This afternoon, on the order of General Xu, I went to An Mansion to meet with Medicine Master An."

Wei Yuan's hawk-like eyes became sharper and sharper:

"Sir, this Qiu is really not simple."

Wei Tanzhi nodded slightly, feeling equally shocked.

To be able to quietly and easily kill the great demon general of the Fire Eagle clan, one must at least be a half-step master with "sympathy between heaven and man" to be able to do so.

Is Qiu really a half-step master?

Wei Tanzhi shook his head and waved away this ridiculous idea.

Two months ago, he saw Qiu Zhen in the Guangling market with [Xian Zhen Gang Realm] cultivation. Although he was surprised, he thought that the other party's destiny and deep blessings meant that it was amazing to have such cultivation. But it is also within the normal range.

A month or two later, Qiu Zhen was first promoted to Xiantian Neijing, and then became a "half-step master". This was simply a fantasy and impossible.

"I think we underestimated him. Behind him, besides An Jishi, there is probably a martial arts master or a great demon protecting him."

After Wei Tanzhi finished speaking, he said leisurely:

"There is a martial arts master and a great demon protecting the Tao. Qiu Zhen is not the reincarnation of the Dragon Lord, but he also has a great background and has an incredible destiny."

"What the young master said coincides with what I think."

Wei Yuan nodded, agreeing with Wei Tanzhi's judgment. However, he, who was always decisive, hesitated slightly.

Whether it is the "reincarnation of the Dragon Lord" or another background, it is suspected that a "Martial Arts Master" or "Big Demon" is involved, it is very involved, and one move can affect the whole body, and it is not something that the Changle Mansion Demon Suppression Division can do casually. .

"Sir, what will happen next?"

"We don't need to intervene in the follow-up. After getting the news, the demon king in the mountains must have a greater reaction than us."

A faint smile appeared on Wei Tanzhi's face, he was very satisfied with his "driving away wolves and devouring tigers". After thinking about it, he pointed at the file and said:

"Liang Yin is just a small fish, and his father Liang Wei is the big fish. General Xu ordered to track down Liang Wei with all his strength and make sure to get the [Dragon King's Book]. This matter is of great importance and has reached the ears of the emperor. The officials in the capital are paying close attention and must not let it go. You should also focus on this in the future. Now there are some clues."

Got clues about Liang Wei?

When Wei Yuan heard "reached the ears of the emperor" and the emperor was paying close attention, he immediately straightened his mind:

"Sir, is the rumor true?"

Wei Tanzhi looked leisurely:

"Who knows."

——

Qiuzhen Valley, a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

"I want to become a great demon! A shocking great demon."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Under the moonlight, Bai Shu put away his illusion, turned back into his white fox body, howled at the moon, and vented his inner ambitions.

The moonlight that Bai Shu swallowed and exhaled during the catharsis made his whole body glow with aura, and his eyes were full of expectation:

"Sir, I have adjusted my breath, and my whole body has reached the peak state."

"Great!"

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly, very satisfied.

Bai Shu has always been making progress.

Back then, when he met him in seclusion in the mountains, if he was called an ordinary monster, he would either sneak attack him secretly to win the big with a small one, or escape for the sake of caution.

Bai Shu was very different from other monsters. He went against common sense and kowtowed to ask for the truth.

Facts have proved that Bai Shu's choice was not wrong. He jumped from an ordinary wind fox to a wind and thunder spirit fox, possessing the strength of an innate monster general, and his strength and bloodline leaped.

And now, Bai Shu once again chose to fight and take the risk of swallowing the inner elixir of the Fire Eagle Great Monster General to stimulate the power of his bloodline in order to leap to the level of life.

As the essence of a monster, swallowing other people's inner elixir to improve oneself seems sparse and common among the monsters.

Survival of the fittest, the law of nature.

Bai Zhu swallowed the inner pill of a monster for the first time, and he was eager to try:

"Young Master, where is the demon pill?"

"Be impatient, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Qiu Zhen shook his head.

In the wild in the mountains, most monsters are not very particular. After getting the demon pill, they will find a secret place, or find a fellow tribe to protect them, and then swallow the inner pill raw, forcibly refine it, and use rough means.

This is certainly feasible.

However, the demon pill is the essence of the life of other monsters, containing turbid evil spirits and demon obsessions. It looks harmless for a while, but it actually hides hidden dangers. When it reaches a high level, it may become a bottleneck that makes people waste time and make it difficult to make progress.

This is like the preparation of herbs.

The prepared demon pill is more suitable for swallowing.

Qiu Zhen has learned [Guo Wenju's Beast Taming Immortal Method] and is well versed in this, so he will naturally not let Bai Zhu swallow the demon pill casually.

For the whole afternoon, he personally refined the demon pill with Yuanshen Jinhua, stripped away impurities, and refined the demon's obsession.

As he spoke, Qiu Zhen stretched out his hand, and a demon pill emitting a fiery red light appeared in his hand.

Unlike before, the demon light on the demon pill disappeared without a trace, emitting an orange-red fiery light.     Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged, holding the "demon pill" in his hand, and crossed it with the power of his spiritual consciousness.

Bai Zhu jumped three feet high, and swallowed it raw without paying attention to the heat emanating from the demon pill.

"Gurgle!"

"Ahhh~"

Bai Zhu, who swallowed the demon pill in one gulp, was still smiling the moment before. When the demon pill entered his mouth, his face suddenly changed and he looked painful.

His eyes were red, his face was distorted,

"Plop".

Bai Zhu fell to the ground, rolling up and down, kicking his legs and feet, looking extremely painful.

"Ahhh~"

Then, Bai Zhu's heart-wrenching howl came from the valley.

If it weren't for Qiu Zhen's formation, Qiu Qing and Liang Yin who were resting in the valley would have been disturbed.

"Young Master, is Bai Zhu okay?"

Xiao Zaozi looked at Bai Zhu's painful appearance with a worried look on his face.

"It's okay, this is the price you have to pay for swallowing the demon pill.

Qiu Zhen looked calm, and did not stop him because he felt sorry for Bai Zhu.

How can you refine the demon pill if you can't bear any pain.

Not to mention, this demon pill was refined by him, without the turbid evil spirit and demon obsession, the inner pill "medicine power" is relatively mild, and Bai Zhu suffered much less pain than others.

"Oh oh"

Xiao Zaozi nodded obediently, and then said with a firm tone:

"Young Master, I don't eat demon pills, I honestly eat spiritual essence and small fairy beast pills to improve my cultivation. "

"You don't need to. "

Qiu Zhen laughed dumbly.

Xiao Zaozi's original body is a lightning-struck wood that wards off evil spirits. It is a first-class sacred tree in the world. Ordinary wood spirits and tree hearts cannot make it go further.

Not to mention, it does not need to be too radical.

Xiao Zaozi's cultivation talent is more than a little better than Bai Zhu's.

With the same cultivation resources, or even less resources (Bai Zhu's "coaxing and cheating" treasure-sucking method), he is not as hardworking as Bai Zhu in cultivation, but his cultivation is far beyond Bai Zhu.

The path of cultivation is so mysterious.

Fast is slow, slow is also fast.

Da Yu is Great wisdom, great wisdom is also great stupidity.

Xiao Zaozi is stupid and dull, heartless, but he cultivates fast.

After becoming the [Heart Lord Seal], perhaps with the blessing of luck in the dark, Xiao Zaozi's cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds.

According to Qiu Zhen's estimation, with the recent supply of spiritual essence and small fairy beast pills, Xiao Zaozi will soon become a "superior demon general" and comparable to the innate true gang martial artist.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why Bai Zhu resolutely wants to refine the demon pill-inspired by Xiao Zaozi.

"Aoaoao~"

Bai Shu rolled around on the ground like crazy, tossing and turning, watching the excitement, but Qiu Zhen could see that after the demon pill entered his mouth, there was no sign of rejection or obsession, which was a normal refining process.

No one could help with the pain and suffering.

Qiu Zhen observed for a moment and saw that Bai Shu was stable. He did not stare at him at the moment, but took out [Miro Palace] from his sleeve.

His consciousness sank in.

A spiritual voice rushed into his heart.

"Qingwei, I was in seclusion during the day and did not pay attention to your spiritual voice. You said that a demon came to trouble you? And there is an identity token?"

"Yes, the token has the three ancient demon characters [Eagle Pioneer] written on it. Do you know the origin of the other party?"

After Qiu Zhen got the waist badge, he had some guesses.

This fire eagle demon is not a "lone wolf" alone, but has a big force behind him. He is a big demon in the mountains, or even a general under the command of the demon king.

Logically speaking, it would be most convenient for Bai Shu to go to the Water Snake Cave to inquire about the things in the mountain.

These days, Bai Shu and the Snake King have been getting along well and have a good relationship, so it is easy to find out the news.

However, this move is easy to expose his identity. After some consideration, he still consulted the knowledgeable Fairy Yun Rou.

"Of course I know this."

Fairy Yun Rou said with a firm tone:

"The Fire Eagle is a local monster in our Yulong Mountain. There are many Fire Eagle monsters that have cultivated to the level of fire. However, if there is an identity token with ancient demon characters, then its identity is clear at a glance. He is the Eagle Vanguard under the command of the Red Dragon Mountain Lord."

Red Dragon Mountain Lord?

Qiu Zhen suddenly realized.

The so-called "Red Dragon Mountain Lord" is the self-proclaimed title of the Jiaolong King in the mountain who is rumored to have obtained the dragon soul of the Jade Mountain Dragon Lord. It calls itself the king of the Dragon Palace in the mountain, calls itself the Mountain Lord, and commands the mountains. It is the most powerful force in the mountains today and claims to be orthodox.

"Qingwei, you are protecting Liang Yin, and you are in trouble now. You are being targeted by the Red Dragon Mountain Lord. I am afraid there will be some trouble in the future."

While speaking, Fairy Yunrou quickly realized something and said belatedly:

"No, you killed the Eagle Vanguard? The vanguards under the Red Dragon Mountain Lord are all powerful demon generals!"

"Hehe~"

Qiu Zhen smiled:

"In my territory, I naturally have some support."

"It's good that you have a trump card."

Fairy Yunrou was confident in Qiu Zhen's ability, so she didn't ask much at the moment, but said:

"That's not a big deal. The court has an alliance with the demon kings and big demons in the mountains. Without accurate information, they will not easily come out to deal with you."

"That's the best!"

"Relax, he is now We have no time to trouble you."

"Oh? How do you mean?"

"There is a clue about Liang Wei's whereabouts. I just found out. How about it, Qingwei, do you want to take action to intercept him?"

"If there is a clue and I have time, just give me a call and I will join in the fun."

"This is rare, Taoist Qingwei. This is the first time you have been invited to seek immortal fate. Could it be that you are determined to get the Dragon King's Pill Book, or do you really have the fate of a mountain god?"

"The fate is fictitious. It is purely a banner I raised to cover up my identity. As for the Dragon King's Pill Book, my master is obsessed with external alchemy and immortal arts. I help my master to seek opportunities."

"Fellow Taoist is very filial"

——

"It is actually a monster sent by the Red Dragon Mountain King."

Qiu Zhen murmured to himself, speechless in his heart.

He does not have the fate of a mountain god, nor is he the reincarnation of the Dragon King or the Dragon King candidate, but unknowingly, he seems to have entered the game.

Even if he wants to get rid of it, others may not believe it.

Once you are involved, you can't get rid of it.

Not to mention, he is not completely unrelated to the Dragon King. He has the [Jade Dragon Seal] in his hand, and he has a vague affinity with the Dragon King.

Rather than going with the flow and passively entering the game, he prefers to take the initiative to enter the game and become a chess player rather than a chess piece.

It is precisely because of this that he accepted the invitation of Fairy Yunrou and planned to participate in the immortal fate of [Dragon King's Book of Elixir].

Just as Qiu Zhen was thinking, he heard Xiao Zaozi's exclamation.

"Young Master, it's not good, Boss Baizhu has gone astray."
