Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor

Chapter 112 The Storm Ends! Jade Liquid Golden Body
The Valley of Truth.

"You licker!"

Qiu Zhen took the ancient bronze seal that was shining with brilliant golden light from Xiao Zaozi's hand and was speechless.

After the hunter who called himself Mei Qingshan left, the golden light emitted by the mountain god's seal became brighter and brighter, as if he was afraid that Mei Wulang couldn't sense it.

This ancient bronze seal may be indifferent to ordinary people, but when facing people with real "fate", it becomes very proactive, just like a peacock spreading its tail.

It’s a pity that with the blessing of the land covering it and the concealment talisman he had pasted, Mei Qingshan couldn’t sense “its” existence.

At most, Mei Qingshan had some inexplicable feeling.

"A genius with a great destiny has appeared in the Qingmu area."

Qiu Zhen was surprised, and vaguely understood why the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance had shown lukewarm attention to him and little support for him over the past year.

On the one hand, there is the reason of Master An Jishi, but perhaps the biggest reason is that the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance found "Mei Qingshan".

Born as a hunter, he has no background or support.
No matter from which perspective, Mei Qingshan is more valuable for investment than him.

If it were him, he would also choose to support Mei Qingshan with all his strength.

"Fight for life? Who will fight for life with you?"

Qiu Zhen shook his head and laughed to himself.

If you obey, you will become a mortal, if you rebel, you will become an immortal.

As a monk, he believes in seeking truth through cultivation, transcending worldly matters, controlling his own destiny, and not attaching importance to the illusory destiny.

To put it another way, he doesn't have a "great destiny" and can't compete with it for life.

"It is indeed useful to pull the banner of destiny, but unfortunately, trouble has also come."

Qiu Zhen was playing with the ancient copper seal in his hand. Unconsciously, it no longer shone with golden light and turned into an ordinary piece of scrap copper and iron.

The fate of the person has been revealed. No matter whether it is true or not, someone like Mei Qingshan will come to him in the future to "compete for life" with him.

"Forget it. We can stop them if they come. How can we be afraid of them?"

Qiu Zhen thought about it for a moment, and soon stopped caring about it.

Break all laws with one force.

When one's cultivation in Taoism reaches a high level, geniuses with predestined fate like "Mei Qingshan" will only be a minor trouble.

Qiu Zhen entered a state of tranquility and concentration, looking inward at his own spirit, and deducing his primordial spirit and Dharmakaya.

"It is estimated that the initial stage of refining essence into qi will be completed in three years"

The initial stage of refining essence into Qi is called "the state of innate true Qi" in martial arts, and "the night wandering god" in spiritual cultivation. They are essentially the same.

He cultivated both his body and soul, practicing the [Dragon-Tiger Copulation Method] to refine his acquired essence into his innate Qi.

Refining the physical body, the innate true qi flows throughout the body;
If the Yin Spirit leaves the body, the innate Qi condenses into a "night wandering spirit" that is between reality and illusion.

During this month, Qiu Zhen focused all his attention on deducing the [Mind and Horse Training Method], but he also did not neglect his daily practice.

Not only is his superficial cultivation stable, but his physical body refinement is also completely matched with his own cultivation.

If Fairy Yunrou saw this scene, she would probably be extremely envious.

Fairy Yunrou did not have the "Heart and Soul Training Method" to melt away the evil spirit to cover up her evil spirit. She was clearly practicing the method of cultivating both sex and life, and she did not dare to practice the method of refining the body seriously to temper her flesh. From the outside, she was still an acquired martial artist.

It's not just Fairy Yunrou, all other fellow Taoists in the "Yin Shen Realm" in the world of immortal cultivation are like this.

At present, Qiu Zhen is practicing both body and soul, refining his physical body and his Yin spirit, which can be said to be like the style of ancient cultivators.

"Since my cultivation is stable, I will continue to refine the essence of spiritual energy, improve my cultivation, and make great progress!"

Qiu Zhen felt Mei Qingshan's strength and felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Although the other party keeps saying that they will wait until both sides have reached the right time and are competing for destiny before they will fight and achieve mutual success.

However, Qiu Zhen didn't dare to believe it completely.

There are only so many people who are destined to succeed. If Mei Wulang is playing dirty, kill him. If he really has good luck, Mei Wulang will be able to gather the luck.

In this way, it would be much easier for him to fulfill his destiny.

No one can guarantee that Mei Wulang is a particular person.

When he thought of this, Qiu Zhen no longer thought about it, and his mind sank into the sea of ​​consciousness.

In front of the primordial spirit and Dharma body, there lay quietly a cluster of "spiritual essences" emitting a halo of spiritual light.

These days, apart from appreciating the spiritual essence of Atractylodes macrocephala and jujube, he did not refine the "spiritual essence" for practice. He only used the spiritual essence to restore his spirit and magic power at the critical moment of deducing the [Mind and Will Refining Method].

At present, there is still a large amount of spiritual essence that has not been used.

"One large ball of spiritual essence, and twelve small balls of essence."

Qiu Zhen did not hesitate, he refined it instantly and began to practice to improve his strength.

Qiu Zhen secluded himself in meditation and ignored worldly affairs.

However, Aoki County and even Changle Prefecture were extremely lively.

After being beaten, Wei Tanzhi from the Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture was extremely depressed. The next day he submitted a memorial to the court, impeaching An Jishi for his tyranny, wantonly beating court officials, and contempt for the law. He also accused Yaowang Valley, a major underworld sect in Changle Prefecture, of treason and chaos, and put a heavy accusation on him.

As soon as the memorial was submitted, it immediately caused a storm.

Xia uses force to disrupt the ban.

Martial arts flourished and the power of the underworld was extremely great. Martial arts masters always believed in the power of their own martial arts and refused to obey discipline. The imperial court had always been wary of the power of the underworld and even deliberately suppressed it.

After Wei Tanzhi's memorial was presented, the capital was in an uproar, and it won the support of many officials and generals who advocated suppressing and controlling the forces of the underworld, and they called for fighting and killing.

There were even military generals who wrote to the court, asking it to send troops to wipe out Yaowang Valley and deter the forces of the world. When the people of Changle Prefecture heard the news, there was an uproar.

However, soon after the rumors of encirclement and suppression of Yaowang Valley were spread, a new disturbance arose in the court.

Some people began to impeach the Demon Suppression Division for being lawless and disregarding the law. They had done countless harm to the world, aroused widespread resentment among the people, and angered the martial arts masters who had always been neutral. They were truly a scourge to the world.

From royal families to local wealthy families, every family has outstanding children and every family has been harassed and intimidated by the Demon Suppression Division.

People all over the world have suffered from the Demon Suppression Division for a long time.

This incident may have become an opportunity. People who usually dared to be angry but not to speak out took advantage of this opportunity, and countless memorials impeaching the Demon Suppression Bureau flew to the capital like snowflakes.

For a time, the entire court was in turmoil and endless debate.

The two sides were engaged in a war of words and attacks on each other, which was quite lively.

Five days later.

The officials in the palace could no longer sit still and issued an imperial decree.

An Jishi was stripped of his title and fined 10,000 taels of silver.

At that time, An Jishi also worked in the government and held an honorary title of low status. He was stripped of his title and fined 10,000 taels of silver, which was really not a big deal, like raising him high and then letting him go lightly.

This is how martial arts masters like An Jishi are treated in the court.

Either the Thunder takes action, or they try their best to appease and win over.

As long as those who practice seclusion outside the court do not commit treason, they will generally be given some face.

As for the punishment of the Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture, it is different.

Lin Shoulong acted recklessly and perverted the law for personal gain, so he was removed from his post as deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture and demoted to the position of Demon Suppression Captain, and was fined three years of military service;

Wei Tanzhi was lax in his management of his subordinates and neglected his duties, so he was fined one year's salary.
The court's move of giving each party fifty lashes of the cane may seem like a compromise at first glance, but the direction of the wind behind it is clear.

On the second day after the imperial edict was issued, two groups of guests came to Qiujia Village.

One group was the steward of Lin Shoulong, the deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division, who came with a large pile of gifts to apologize, including magical herbs, precious medicines, jewelry, jade, cloth and silk, and so on, with a total value of nearly three thousand taels of silver.

The other wave was Wei Tanzhi’s butler.

The Wei family was wealthy and generous, and the treasure they gave away was worth ten thousand taels of silver.

A valley for seeking truth and an open space for practicing martial arts.

Qiu Zhen stood still, a ray of sunlight shone on him, making him look like he was made of gold, emitting a faint golden light.

If someone else were here, they would be able to see that there was a faint flow of true energy between his hair and skin, as if he was protected by a "golden bell" and "iron cloth shirt", giving people a feeling of being "indestructible" and unshakable.

"Nine turns to elixir, jade liquid and golden body"

Qiu Zhen felt the "innate true qi" spreading throughout his body. He was filled with a terrifying power and was surprised.

By practicing Lu Zu's method of body refining [Nine Turns to Elixir], one can cultivate the most advanced body refining skill - [Jade Liquid Golden Body].

Right now, as his skills improve, he is increasingly showing the aura of [Jade Liquid Golden Body].

"【Refining Essence into Qi】The initial stage of preparatory training can be completed in one year and eight months."

Qiu Zhen looked inward at his own body, and with the help of his primordial spirit and Dharma body, he had a clear view of his cultivation status.

Refining a large ball of spiritual essence and twelve small balls of spiritual essence saved him one year and four months of hard training. His skills were further improved and he was not far from the middle stage of [Refining Essence into Qi].

In the middle stage of refining essence into Qi, it is the "Innate True Gang Realm" in the martial arts body, and it is the "Riyoushen" realm in the Yin spirit.

Once you reach the middle stage of [Refining Essence into Qi], the innate Qi will condense and manifest, and you can initially cultivate the [Jade Liquid Golden Body].

Qiu Zhen couldn't help but think of the extraordinary protective energy that his master An Jishi manifested that day.

"I don't know what Master's body-protecting energy is?"

Qiu Zhen couldn't help but feel curious.

These days, he stayed in Qiujia Village and did not disturb his master An Jishi.

The reason was simple. Beating an imperial official in public was no small matter no matter how lightly Master An Jishi made it sound.

During this period, his master An Jishi and his mistress Nan Zhiyi were quite busy, so he naturally did not go to ask for their advice or disturb them.

And today, Wei Tanzhi and Lin Shoulong successively sent their butlers to deliver gifts of apology.

Even though Qiu Zhen didn't know what happened in the court, he guessed that this matter might have had some results.

Moreover, Wei Tanzhi might be the one who suffers the loss.

"Sir, Sir, Pharmacist An sent someone to ask you to go into the city."

While Qiu Zhen was thinking, Bai Zhu came hurriedly from outside the valley.

"Master summoned me? Did he say anything else?"

In the misty white fog, Bai Shu transformed into a delicate little boy:
"I don't know either. I just heard from the servants of the An Mansion that someone from Medicine King Valley has come, and Pharmacist An asked you to go into the city."

Medicine King Valley.
Qiu Zhen was slightly stunned, and soon a faint smile appeared on his face.

He was a disciple of Medicine King Valley. Logically speaking, as soon as he broke through the innate realm, the Medicine King Valley would definitely send someone to him.

There has been no movement for several days, and it is obviously about the Demon Suppression Division matter.

Now that the disturbance has subsided, Yaowang Valley has sent people over.

"Sir, what happened again?"

"It's okay, it's a happy event, someone wants to reward us with a promotion."
