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

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Festival will start in three days."

Qiu Zhen's mind returned, holding the [Miro Palace] jade token, and his consciousness sank into it.

As expected, Yu Chanzi notified him a month ago and asked him if he wanted to participate in the "Ten Thousand Immortals Festival", and sent several telepathic messages.

However, he was obsessed with cultivation and ignored it.

"Yu Chanzi Daoyou, I just came out of retreat. I wonder if the invitation period for the [Ten Thousand Immortals Festival] has passed? Is there any way to remedy it?"

The telepathic message sank into the [Miro Palace], and soon, a resentful voice came from the jade talisman.

"Brother Qingwei, you finally replied."

"If it were someone else, they would definitely miss it now. There are only three days left before the festival will start. The alliance will no longer send invitations. However, you are one of our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. I know you well. I will guarantee you. It will not be a problem to be specially invited to join the alliance."

"That's good."

Qiu Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he remembered that he was a member of the Sanxian Hall of Changle Mansion, directly under the command of "Yu Chanzi", and was also considered a half-member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, I wonder if Xinzu is willing to attend the event and preach? If he is willing to go, just let him know, no invitation is needed."

"I have asked for instructions, but Master is keen on practicing in seclusion and has little interest in the outside world."

"It is true."

Yu Chanzi was not surprised:

"In this case, Senior Brother Qingwei, let's meet with Fairy Yunrou and the monk tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Qiu Zhen took the [Miro Palace] jade talisman and left the valley without thinking much.

It was the first time he left the valley after half a year.

As soon as he returned to the Qiu residence, he immediately shocked the Qiu family.

The inside and outside of the valley were clearly separated by only a mountain, but it seemed as if they were thousands of mountains and rivers away.

Although he was right at the doorstep, his appearance caused his elder brother Qiu Zhen to exclaim in surprise, and he immediately ran to tell others and inform Qiu's father and mother.

That scene was as if he was a wanderer returning home.

This is the "gap" between monks and mortals.

At present, Qiu Zhen is only at the "refining essence into qi" level, and he can retreat for a year or two.

When he becomes a Yuanshen old monster in the future and breaks through the realm, he can retreat for several years at any time.

Even retreating for ten or eight years is common.

The life span of immortals is long, and ten or eight years will pass in a flash, but for mortals, there are only a few decades.

There is no greater difference between immortals and mortals than this.

Qiu Zhen knew in his heart that time is ruthless, and the days he and his family will be together will become fewer and fewer, so he cherishes it more and more in his heart.

At noon that day, the Qiu family set up a very sumptuous table for the family to reunite.

During the meal, Qiu Zhen remembered something and looked at his elder brother and Liang Yin casually.

Perhaps it was because of the [Returning Bone and Cleansing Marrow Pill], precious medicines and elixirs, and the continuous supply of beast meat, that the eldest brother Qiu Qing made good progress in his martial arts training. He has now become a second-level martial artist, and his blood and qi are strong. I am afraid he is not far from becoming a third-level martial artist.

However, in contrast, the progress of sister-in-law Liang Yin's martial arts training is obviously not right.

She was originally a third-level martial artist. After half a year, although she broke through and became a fourth-level martial artist, her blood and qi did not grow stronger, but instead weakened, which was very abnormal.

Qiu Zhen was puzzled, glanced over with a pair of wise eyes, counted with his fingers, and heard the sound of divine report in his ears.

"Great joy! Great joy!"

Immediately, Qiu Zhen's face showed joy:

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, congratulations!"

Qiu's father, Qiu's mother, and Qiu Qing were all confused when they heard this:

"Xiao Zhen, what's the joy from?"

"Sister-in-law is pregnant."

"Ah!"

Qiu's father, Qiu's mother, and Qiu Qing were all stunned, and then they were overjoyed and looked at Liang Yin in unison:

"Is she really pregnant?"

"I'm afraid she is."

Liang Yin smiled shyly:

"I'm not sure, I didn't say it for fear of false joy, but now that Erlang has said it, I'm afraid it's true."

"Hahahaha!"

Big brother Qiu Qing laughed loudly, jumped three feet high, like a child, and wanted to hug Liang Yin to celebrate on the spot, which caused Liang Yin to scold him repeatedly.

Qiu's father even gave Qiu Qing, who was clumsy, a brain slam.

"If you let Yin'er bump into anything, I'll beat you to death."

"Hehehe!"

For a while, there was a burst of laughter in the house.

Qiu Zhen's coming out of retreat not only made the Qiu family a sensation, but also the old patriarch Qiu and a group of elders came upon hearing the news, which was very lively.

Speaking of it, Qiujia Village has really been on the right track in the past two years.

In addition to Qiu Qing, two more young and strong people in the Qiu family have become acquired martial arts masters, and the momentum is very strong.

The originally conservative members of each family are more radical than the other, tightening their belts to train their children to practice martial arts, and the martial arts spirit of the whole village is unprecedentedly high.

In the afternoon, Qiu Zhen instructed the tribe members to practice martial arts in the training ground.

During this period, many Qiu family members who have practiced martial arts to the point of maturity were found.

If this momentum continues, even without him in charge, with a large number of martial arts masters, Qiujia Village can stand firm and develop steadily.

This made Qiu Zhen very pleased, and he gave instructions in person.

It was evening.

Qiu Zhen then moved to An Mansion in Qingmu City to meet his master and mistress and ask for advice on cultivation.

Tong Yuncong, Yu Lanyin, and An Huayu heard that their junior brother Qiu Zhen had come out of retreat and came happily.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the courtyard.

They talked about cultivation and life and had a great time.

During the meal, Tong Yuncong looked at Qiu Zhen again and again, and was very surprised:

"Junior brother, have you completed your Xiantian Zhen Gang?"

Qiu Zhen nodded and tacitly agreed with his second senior brother's guess.

He has a primordial spirit body, commands himself, and controls his heart. He showed himself in the Xiantian Zhen Gang realm at this time, and there was nothing to hide.

"This"

Second senior brother Tong Yuncong was stunned.

He encountered a small bottleneck, his skill was slowly improving, and he was still far away from the late stage of "Xian Zhen Gang Realm".

Unexpectedly, his junior brother actually reached perfection one step ahead of him.

"Second senior brother, I won. I said that within two years you would catch up with my junior brother. I was indeed right. It has been less than two years and you have been far behind in just one year."

An Huayu laughed heartlessly and looked at the second senior brother with a joking look on his face.

Tong Yuncong smiled bitterly, feeling helpless.

"Yun Cong, don't think too much."

An Jishi, who had always been strict, looked calm and was not surprised at all by Qiu Zhen's rapid improvement:

"Your junior brother has a great fortune, which cannot be judged by common sense. You should go your own way and don't compare yourself with your junior brother."

Tong Yuncong nodded slightly: "Master, I know."

"Great kindness."

An Jishi nodded slightly, then his expression was gentle, and his eyes towards his young apprentice became softer and softer:

"Xiao Zhen, you have a calm temperament. You have been in seclusion steadily for half a year. Now you have strong skills and no sense of vanity. You are completely different from half a year ago."

Qiu Zhen smiled.

In fact, he brought his cultivation to the great perfection of "Refining Essence and Transforming Qi" in one breath. His cultivation is still a bit superficial. It's just that he suppresses his cultivation at the moment, which gives people the illusion of being solid and solid.

"Thanks to your good teachings, Master, not only have I now reached the Perfect Realm of Innate Reality, but I can also faintly sense the inner aura."

"Internal aura?"

An Jishi became interested:

"How many kinds did you sense?"

Qiu Zhen thought deeply and chose a conservative number:

"About ten species!" "What!"

Master Nan Zhiyi, who had been silent until now, couldn't sit still:

"I have been practicing hard for more than ten years, but I can only learn about five or six interior scenes."

"Hahahaha~"

An Jishi laughed loudly:

"Xiao Zhen, you haven't officially entered the Inner Scenery Realm, and there are so many things in your body. You are indeed a good candidate for cultivating [Public Inner Scenery]."

Qiu Zhen originally came to ask his master for advice on spiritual practice. After hearing this, he asked:

"Master, how do you practice [Single Inner Scenery], and how do you practice [Multiple Inner Scenery]? What's the difference?"

"There's a big difference between the two."

An Jishi smiled:

"You must have some understanding after reading all the books. However, what the outside world says is full of fallacies. I don't know what the real [internal scene] is."

Qiu Zhen became interested:

"Please ask Master for advice!"

"The world thinks that [Single Inner Scenery] only cultivates one kind of Inner Scenery, and practicing several kinds of Inner Scenery is [Multiple Inner Scenery]. In fact, this is not the case. Take the famous [Sun and Moon in the Sky] as an example. It consists of two gods, the left and right kidneys, and it is two kinds of Inner Scenery." , the world calls it [many interior scenes], but in fact, it is essentially [single interior scene].”

"What about [gold lotus planted in the fire], [dead wood blooming in spring], [five elements unified], all of them are [single interior scene]."

An Jishi talked eloquently:

"Any inner scene that is derived from the [god within the body] is actually a [single inner view]. The true [many inner scene] is to use one's own spiritual thoughts to fuse the gods within the body, control the inner sceneries, and develop an inner scene that is unique to oneself, or It’s a sword, a seal vase, a golden body of a Buddha or a bodhisattva, or the true form of a mythical beast. The more gods there are in the fused body, the more powerful the inner scene will be.”

"All the ancient saints became enlightened in this way!"

I see!

Qiu Zhen was greatly inspired. Soon, he drew inferences from one instance and asked:

"Master, this is similar to the way of the Yuan Shen. The Yuan Shen is the king and controls the gods within the body."

"You are really smart, you can tell everything at once."

An Jishi secretly praised "The boy is teachable", but he shook his head:

"It's just that the immortal martial arts are different."

"The purpose of cultivating people in cultivating the inner world is to awaken the soul and elect the soul to the throne. Therefore, the strong people who "refining qi and transforming into gods" are called old monsters of the soul. However, people who practice martial arts do the opposite. They condense the inner world in order to Separate one side and claim to be king."

Qiu Zhen was shocked, as he expected.

The realm of [Refining Qi and Transforming into God] has become a watershed.

Xianwu has since further parted ways.

Martial arts uses yin to suppress yang, and cultivates the physical body and spirit. It is a "warlord" who has grown wildly. It is extremely popular and unstoppable for a while, but it has no foundation, so it will not last long.

The immortal way uses yang to control yin, cultivates the soul, takes the soul as the main point, cultivates pure yang throughout the body, and lives forever

"Master, martial arts was born out of the immortal way. Could it be that the immortal and martial arts have completely gone their separate ways?"

"good!"

An Jishi talked eloquently:

"When people in Taoism practice to the [Inner Scenery], the key point of the method lies in the word "Refining God"

"Master."

The two of them asked and answered questions, and both of them were eloquent and eloquent.

For a moment, there were only two voices in the main room.

Nan Zhiyi, Tong Yuncong, Yu Lanyin and An Huayu left one after another.

"Senior Brother Tong, Senior Sister Yu, the city is very lively tonight, do you want to go shopping together?"

"No, I'm going to practice."

Without saying a word, Tong Yuncong walked towards his yard with the sword in hand.

He is not a jealous person, but he has extremely high demands on himself, and his junior brother's breakthrough greatly stimulated him.

"I also went to practice."

Yu Lanyin also left quickly.

She and her junior brother broke through the Xiantian Realm together, and they were all the way to the top, but she was wasting her time, feeling anxious and uneasy, and how could she dare to have fun.

An Huayu was dumbfounded when she saw her senior brothers and sisters leaving in a hurry.

Immediately, he thought of something and looked at his mother:

"Mom, are you going?"

Nan Zhiyi: "Mom also wants to practice."

An Huayu: "(°ー°〃)"

——

The lights were on, and the city of Qingmu was bustling with fireworks.

A golden light rose from the Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture and cut through the night sky.

I don’t know how long it took.

The golden light flew into the mountains and came to a remote and deserted place.

“Swish!”

When the golden light landed, Wei Tanzhi showed up, his tiger eyes looked around, and he bowed:

“I have arrived at the agreed place under orders, please show up and see me!”

The dense forest in the mountains was silent.

Wei Tanzhi frowned slightly and was about to call for the second time.

Just then, an old voice came from the forest.

“It’s quite honest, there is no group of martial arts masters behind you.”

As the voice fell, a black light flashed in the dense forest.

Then, an old man in a yellow Bagua Taoist robe appeared and looked at Wei Tanzhi quietly:

"Are you the leader of the Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture? Can you make decisions for the court? Why didn't Xu Guangmou come in person?"

"General Xu was afraid that Senior Dan Yuanzi would misunderstand, so he specially ordered me to handle this matter on behalf of the court."

Wei Tanzhi saw that Dan Yuanzi was still suspicious, and explained:

"The boy is the direct descendant of the Wei family in the capital."

"So he is a boy from the Wei family in the capital."

Dan Yuanzi's expression eased slightly:

"Can the memorial be submitted?"

"Of course!"

Wei Tanzhi nodded slightly and considered it for a while After that, he looked solemn:

"Senior Dan Yuanzi, are you serious?"

"Hmph!"

Dan Yuanzi sneered:

"I am not afraid of the imperial court, nor am I afraid of the encirclement and suppression of fellow practitioners. The world is so big, and with my magical powers, no one can catch me if I hide intentionally!"

"Senior is right. I have seen your ability in the past six months. I am completely helpless."

Wei Tanzhi hurriedly held it and said:

"Senior Dan Yuanzi, the emperor said that as long as you are willing to make pills, the imperial court will give you whatever you want!"

"The emperor is very happy."

Dan Yuanzi nodded with satisfaction.

With his magical powers, he is not afraid of the outside world causing trouble for him. No matter what, he has a way to protect himself.

Of course, it is easy to save his life, but hiding everywhere is not good for refining elixirs.

Especially the elixirs in the Dragon King's Pill Book, the amount required is too large, and it is difficult for him to collect them alone.

Without a place to settle down and a constant supply of natural treasures, it would be useless for him to get the [Dragon King's Book of Elixir].

This is the real reason why he thought over and over again and chose to seek the skin of a tiger after careful consideration.

Of course, Dan Yuanzi did not agree easily. He pondered for a moment and said:

"It is not impossible to want the old Taoist to help the court refine elixirs, but it depends on whether the court is sincere!"

"Sincerity is naturally there."

Wei Tanzhi was delighted and bowed:

"I don't know what you need, Senior Dan Yuanzi, just tell me!"

Dan Yuanzi couldn't help but think of the immortal vine spiritual roots that he had cultivated for many years. He gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"I don't have any other needs. The old Taoist wants to destroy the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but I don't know if the court has the ability to do so."
