The Stone Fairy Who Is Not Afraid of Thunder

"That's good! I'm willing to join the Medicine Sect! Senior Zhou, please tell me what I should do to become a disciple of the Medicine Sect?"

Qin Shaochen no longer hesitated, stood up, and bowed respectfully to Pharmacist Zhou.

"Very good! Although you are not smart, you know the times and have lived up to my efforts!"

Pharmacist Zhou's orange peel face showed a smile.

"I am one of the outer sect elders of the Medicine Sect, and I have the right to directly accept you into the sect."

"Today, I will do a simple procedure for you. After that, you will be considered an outer sect disciple of our Medicine Sect."

"As for the formal initiation ceremony, I will do it again when I return to the sect in the future."

"It's all up to Senior Zhou to arrange, and I will do it."

Pharmacist Zhou nodded, obviously in a good mood, and his attitude towards Qin Shaochen suddenly improved a lot.

"Since you are an outer sect disciple of our sect, I should tell you my identity."

"My real name is Zhou Ziyao, and I am the inner sect deacon disciple of the Medicine Sect. At the same time, I also hold the title of an outer sect elder."

Qin Shaochen was a little surprised, but he saw the opportunity and bowed his hands.

"Qin Shaochen, an outer sect disciple of the Medicine Sect, greets Elder Zhou!"

This greeting confirmed his identity as a disciple of the Medicine Sect and also brought him closer to Pharmacist Zhou!

Zhou Ziyao laughed.

"Okay, you are not smart enough, but you are not lacking in cleverness. I am your guide to the sect, and I have the obligation to explain the sect rules to you..."

Then, he explained the various sect rules of the Medicine Sect to Qin Shaochen one by one.

After listening to it, Qin Shaochen immediately felt that it was not much stricter than the clan rules of the Qin family.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, "I was still worried that if the sect rules were too strict, I would cause a lot of trouble."

"Now it seems that I was worrying too much! This Medicine Sect should be a relatively loose sect!"

The lax sect rules were just what Qin Shaochen wanted, and he was much happier!

After Zhou Ziyao finished explaining the various rules, he took out a jade disc, dripped a drop of blood into it, and asked Qin Shaochen to follow it.

Qin Shaochen did not ask any more questions and followed his instructions.

Pharmacist Zhou explained that this was a simplified sect entry ceremony.

At the same time, if Qin Shaochen got into trouble, the jade disc would also react.

Qin Shaochen was surprised, but did not ask any more questions.

Zhou Ziyao handed him another gray wooden sign, saying it was a temporary identity sign for the sect.

Qin Shaochen thanked him respectfully and accepted it with pleasure.

After all this was over, Qin Shaochen seized the opportunity to ask the most concerned question.

"Elder Zhou, I am now a real disciple of the Medicine Sect, so I should be eligible to buy pills, right?"

"Of course!"

"Excuse me, I want to buy a True Spirit Pill, how can I buy it?"

"This elder just said that as long as you can afford the price, you can buy it at any time,"

As he said, he took out the brocade box from his arms and put it on the table.

"I know you have set your eyes on the True Spirit Pill. If you can wait, you can go to the Pill Hall to buy it yourself when you return to the sect in three months. If you need it urgently, I can give you this one first."

Qin Shaochen was overjoyed!

"Great! I can't wait for three months."

"The clan meeting of our Qin family will be held next month. The Spirit Test Meeting will be held after that, so... please help me, Elder Zhou!"

"No problem! Since I led you into the sect, I will naturally take care of you."

Zhou Ziyao smiled indifferently and nodded.

"But this pill is very valuable. Are you prepared?"

"Please let Elder Zhou know!"

He now has four hundred taels of silver in his arms, which makes him feel more confident.

Zhou Ziyao stroked his beard and smiled.

"If an outsider buys this pill, the price cannot be less than five thousand taels of silver. However, since you are a new disciple of our sect, you should be given a discount!"

"If you buy it with silver, I will charge you four thousand taels!"

"What? Four... thousand taels!"

Qin Shaochen lost his voice and was stunned. He was stunned on the spot.

Four thousand taels of silver, isn't this robbing people openly?

I'm afraid that Qin Erye, the richest man in Qingzhu Town, has no way to take out such a large sum of silver at once.

"Why, don't you believe it? Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Zhou Ziyao sneered!

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Liuzi."

"He has been to the sect and has seen the price of the Zhenling Pill. He can prove that what I said is not a lie!"

Qin Shaochen was shocked and couldn't help but look at Xiao Liuzi beside him.

Xiao Liuzi immediately clasped his hands together.

"Zhou Xiaoliu, a registered disciple of the Medicine Sect, greets Senior Brother Qin Shaochen!"

"So you are also from the Medicine Sect!"

Xiao Liuzi looked unhappy.

"I am just a registered disciple, unlike Senior Brother Qin, who became an outer disciple as soon as he entered the sect!"

Qin Shaochen didn't understand the difference between outer disciples and registered disciples, and didn't care about that. He just asked, "Have you seen the price of the Zhenling Pill?"

Xiao Liuzi nodded solemnly.

"Xiao Liuzi was lucky enough to have been to the sect and saw the price tag of the True Spirit Pill in the Pill Pavilion of the Deacon Hall."

"I remember it said: 5,000 taels of silver per pill."

"5,000 taels per pill! Aren't you dazzled?

"Reporting to Senior Brother Qin, I have always wanted to buy the True Spirit Pill! So, the price... I remember it clearly, and it is definitely not wrong!"

Qin Shaochen finally came to his senses.

"Only a ghost would believe you!"

He turned his head to Zhou Ziyao again, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face!

"Elder Zhou, if what Xiao Liuzi said is true, then Elder Zhou... you have been deceiving this junior from the beginning."

Zhou Ziyao rolled his eyes strangely.

"How can I see it?"

"Of course Elder Zhou can see that my biggest interest in joining the Medicine Sect is to buy a true spiritual pill."

"But a true elixir costs four thousand...taels of silver!"

"Does Elder Zhou think that a young warrior like me can get four thousand taels of silver?"

If it weren't for the sect rules I just learned, there is a clear provision that you must not be rude to the elders. Qin Shaochen wanted to curse directly.

"Boy, you made the mistake of blaming me this time."

Zhou Ziyao's rare attitude was calm, and his old face actually managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Of course I know that you can't afford four thousand taels. But from the beginning, I never expected you to pay the bill with silver!"

"Actually, I have already prepared for a rainy day and have already thought of a way for you!"

Qin Shaochen couldn't help but be stunned!

"Elder Zhou, what do you mean?"

"Did you forget what you relied on to buy the Aiki Pills in the first place?"

"Could it be that... you want me to go... to collect medicine again?"

"Hehe! Not bad!"

Zhou Ziyao showed an old fox smile again.

"I really need a special medicinal material here."

"If someone else picks that kind of medicinal material, it will be very difficult and give you a terrible headache."

"But if it falls on your kid's head, it couldn't be easier. It can be done with just a few moves."

Qin Shaochen suddenly felt wary in his heart.

"Elder Zhou, please give me some clarification."

"Of course!" Zhou Ziyao nodded, "You also know that what our Medicine Sect is best at is refining elixirs and making medicines."

"There is one kind of pill among them, which is the most precious and consumes a lot of money. That is the Great Martial Pill."

Qin Shaochen nodded in understanding, did not speak, but listened intently.

"Refining the Great Martial Pill requires a total of dozens of medicinal materials, among which the most important and rare herb is called Soul Bone Fungus!"

While Zhou Ziyao was talking, he pulled out a book from the bookshelf on the side and quickly opened one of them.

"Come and see, this is what it looks like."

Qin Shaochen took a closer look and saw that the book not only contained detailed descriptions in small characters, but also included drawings.

There is a small white fungus painted in the book. It has a round head, a slender body, and a gray body. It really looks like a bone.

"This medicinal material is also a poison in itself. It often grows in dark and humid places where poisonous miasma is rampant. The more poisonous the poison, the longer it will grow!"

Zhou Ziyao explained patiently while stroking his beard.

"However, those places are often too dangerous. If you are not careful, you may lose your life."

"As a result, fewer and fewer people dare to pick it. As a result, soul bone fungus has gradually become a medicinal material that is scarce all year round!"

"It is precisely because of this that our sect has offered rewards for purchasing bone-washing fungi all year round."

"I, this medicine hall, also has the same mission,"

"But in the past few years, the number of soul bone fungi I have been able to purchase here has been too little."

"There are already many people in the sect who are deliberately making things difficult for me, and I, as an elder, are becoming increasingly difficult to serve as."

"So, Elder Zhou hopes that I can collect some bone-washing bacteria?" Qin Shaochen asked.

"That's right, you kid, you can even pick up heavenly and earthly treasures like Thunder Crystal Flowers. Naturally, you won't be able to trouble yourself with something as trivial as soul-washing bone fungus!"

"That soul bone fungus! How much is it worth? How much do I need to collect to afford that true elixir?"

Qin Shaochen is a little suspicious!

He earned four thousand taels of silver by picking mushrooms. No matter how it sounds, it sounds a bit unreliable!
