The Stone Fairy Who Is Not Afraid of Thunder

Great Chu State.

Nanxingzhou, the outskirts of Zhangjiajie.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and heavy rain fell on the Wulingyuan Mountains.

But in this violent storm, on a cliff of Tianzi Mountain to the east of the mountain range, there was actually a man who was climbing the cliff in the heavy rain.

Climbing in the rain is definitely a suicidal act!

Probably only a madman would do such a crazy thing.

But the man on the cliff didn't look like a madman.

He was a teenager, only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a thin face and a slightly thin physique.

Although his behavior was crazy, there was no mania on his face, and there was only calmness in his eyes.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rock wall was full of flowing water, and all the rocks were covered by water.

But the boy knew clearly where to land and where to grab, and was climbing step by step.

It seems that he has climbed the cliff here more than once.

"Could what Pharmacist Zhou said be true? In a thunderstorm, a spiritual flower will grow on the cliff?"

The young man in the rain frowned and thought while climbing.

"Thunder crystal flower... a spiritual flower born from the energy of thunder?"

"After the thunderstorm, it quickly dissipated?"

"Alas! Those sayings... why do they sound so absurd! Is there really such a thing in the world?"

The young man kept muttering in his heart while climbing.

His hands and feet did not stop for a moment, while climbing, he looked around.

He was looking forward to finding some unusual flowers and plants on the cliff.

But he looked around, and all he saw was flowing water. Even ordinary flowers and plants were difficult to find, let alone the thunder crystal flower that he had never seen before.

As a result, the young man's doubts were inevitable.

"But Pharmacist Zhou is a pharmacist after all. Although he is not very famous, there is no reason for him to lie to me!"

"Besides, he looked serious when he talked about this matter, and it didn't seem like he was joking."

"Besides, he is so old, he can't joke about this kind of... thing that may cost someone's life, right?"

The young man on the cliff is named Qin Shaochen, and his family lives in Zhangjiajie under Tianzi Mountain.

The reason why he ran to the cliff to climb in heavy rain and did such a crazy thing has to do with his mother's illness.

Qin Shaochen's father passed away a long time ago, and he and a little sister were raised by their mother.

Unexpectedly, since the year before last, his mother suddenly and inexplicably suffered from a serious illness.

And once she fell down, she couldn't leave the bed for several months, and her condition became more and more serious day by day.

This made Qin Shaochen very anxious, and he began to seek medical treatment everywhere with his mother on his back.

Not many days later, the small amount of savings in the family was exhausted. But Qin's mother's condition still did not improve.

After that, it was very difficult to seek medical advice.

Qin Shaochen shamelessly went to all the relatives and friends who could borrow money.

But the little money he borrowed was spent on medical treatment and medicine in just half a year.

In desperation, he could only carry his mother on his back and go to the West Street of Zhangjiajie to seek medical advice from the pharmacist who was always known for his eccentricity.

The eccentric pharmacist on West Street was named Zhou. He was a strange man in Zhangjiajie. He was ugly and had a very eccentric personality.

It is said that he always treated people casually. When he was in a good mood, he was generous. No matter whether the disease was serious or minor, he would often cure it with medicine.

When he was in a bad mood, he often refused unreasonably. Even if it was a minor disease that could be cured by raising his hand, he would find some inexplicable reasons and refused to see a doctor.

There were rumors in the town that he had cured a stubborn disease that the famous doctors in the provincial capital could not cure.

But there were also rumors that he had killed people!

In the town, no one can tell whether the strange man's medical skills are good or bad? All we know is that when he treats people, he is very cunning and mean, and his mood is unpredictable.

Moreover, the man has a quirk. When treating people, if the patient does not have enough money, he will ask the patient to go to the mountains to dig some strange herbs to make up for the consultation fee.

Zhangjiajie is adjacent to the Wulingyuan Mountains. There are many wild herbs in the mountains. Many people rely on collecting herbs to pay for the consultation fee.

But some people died in the barren mountains because of this.

Therefore, his reputation in Zhangjiajie has always been bad. Everyone says that he lacks the heart of a doctor!

Therefore, although the pharmacy he opened is a larger store in Zhangjiajie, the business has always been deserted, and very few people come to him for treatment.

Qin Shaochen also sought medical treatment everywhere but to no avail. He was helpless and went to the door behind his mother's back to try.

The situation he encountered was really the same as the rumors.

The ugly Zhou Pharmacist with orange peel on his face rolled his eyes and looked extremely impatient.

He first took Qin's mother's pulse, then took out a pill and asked her to dissolve it in water and take it.

Afterwards, he did not ask Qin Shaochen for the consultation fee, and asked Qin Shaochen to carry his mother home.

Before leaving, he only said: "If there is no effect, don't come again. If it works, bring money to buy medicine."

Qin Shaochen naturally had nothing to say, so he could only carry his mother home. I didn't have much hope at first, but unexpectedly, I heard that my mother coughed less that night.

When I visited her in the morning, I found that my mother was in much better spirits.

My younger sister also said excitedly that my mother didn't cough up blood last night, and she drank some porridge after getting up.

Qin Shaochen was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the only silver he had and rushed to Zhou's pharmacy to ask for medicine.

When Pharmacist Zhou saw the excited Qin Shaochen, he didn't have a good face. He looked contemptuous at first, and then made a strange and nonsense.

The implication was that his medicines were all good treasures and valuable. If he wanted to ask for more, the price would be high.

Qin Shaochen naturally saw that Pharmacist Zhou was deliberately making things difficult, and he didn't say anything more. He handed over the only one or two silver coins he had, and then bowed to Pharmacist Zhou.

Then he sincerely said: "Senior Zhou, no matter what you want, just tell me! As long as I, Qin Shaochen, can do it, I will do it and never delay it!"

Pharmacist Zhou rolled his eyes, sighed pretentiously, and then said: "Forget it, it's rare for a young man to have such filial piety!".

Then, he slowly made a request to Qin Shaochen.

He said that he was refining a pill recently and needed a special herb.

And that kind of herb can be found in Tianzi Mountain. As long as he goes to the mountain and picks the spiritual flower called Thunder Crystal Flower, he can exchange it for ten Qi-combining pills.

According to him, after taking ten Qi-combining pills, even if Qin's mother's illness cannot be cured, it will definitely get much better.

Qin Shaochen was overjoyed and asked how to pick Thunder Flower.

Pharmacist Zhou was very patient and even deliberately found a picture book from the inner hall.

After opening the book, he explained to Qin Shaochen in detail the strangeness of Thunder Crystal Flower.

According to Pharmacist Zhou's description, Thunder Crystal Flower is actually a spiritual flower that does not grow in the weeds on the hillside, but only grows on cliffs where few people go.

Moreover, it is born in response to thunder!

That is to say, only in thunderstorm weather, when the flower seeds absorb enough thunder energy, will they suddenly grow out of the cliff.

What's even more peculiar is that once the rainstorm passes and the thunder in the air dissipates, the spiritual flower will instantly disappear between heaven and earth without a trace.

Therefore, the only way to pick that spiritual flower is to climb up the cliff to look for it during a thunderstorm.

Only in this way can there be a one-to-two chance of obtaining that spiritual flower.
