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

Chapter 115: Promoted to the Leader of Guangling Hall! Status Reversal
Yaowang Valley has been operating in the Qingmu area for many years. In the early years, it was one of the most powerful forces in the area and had the upper hand.

Yaowang Valley re-established a mountain gate and built a branch altar without any sense of haste, and construction of the mountain gate headquarters began early.

A year later, the Medicine King Qingmu branch was built twenty miles outside the outskirts of Qingmu.

The mountain gate stands tall like a pile of white jade, with a plaque inscribed with three large gold-plated characters - Yaowang Valley.

Step by step.

In various places in the mountain, there are disciples of the King of Medicine wearing the clothes of the King of Medicine Valley standing guard and patrolling.

Without seeing the sect's interior, just looking at the mountain gate, one can sense the demeanor of a major martial arts sect.

"I didn't expect that this mountain area is actually the branch gate of our Medicine King Valley."

As a local, Qiu Zhen is very familiar with his surroundings.

Speaking of which, the Yaowang Valley branch is not far from Qiujia Village, less than twenty miles away, and he usually passes by here.

In the past, he only knew that Medicine King Valley had bought this place. He focused on his cultivation and was too lazy to inquire about Medicine King Valley's plans.

Unexpectedly, it has now become the headquarters of the Yaowang Valley branch.

"Junior brother, you haven't met the master yet, right? Let's go and pay our respects to the master together."

As they were talking, the three men dismounted in front of the mountain gate.

Perhaps it was because the three of them were wearing the standard robes of Medicine King Valley today, and they were also the sapphire robes of innate martial artists, so the group of gatekeeping disciples greeted them respectfully.

"Greetings to the three uncles."

In the sect, there is no direct master, and when you meet someone of a higher level, you call him "Uncle Master".

Even though Tong Yuncong, Yu Lanyin and Qiu Zhen are all very young, they are younger than many of the mountain guarding disciples.

After they introduced themselves, a deacon of Yaowang Valley knew that the three were disciples of An Jishi. Perhaps someone had instructed them in advance, so he welcomed them into the mountain gate without saying a word.

Coincidentally.

When they first entered Qingmu, perhaps because Master Yaowang was busy with many things, the three of them came back empty-handed and no one saw the master.

However, perhaps the sect leader and a group of elders had already made a decision on their assignments, so it didn't affect anything. An elder from the sect met with them and assigned them assignments.

About an hour later, the three men rode out of the branch altar station on horseback and took up their posts.

Dust was flying on the mountain road.

"The sect is too stingy. They only rewarded me two thousand taels of silver for advancing to the Xiantian realm. I thought there was something good."

Qiu Zhen felt a little disappointed holding the banknotes in his arms.

Before this, he had heard a group of martial arts masters at Qingmu Pharmacy saying that if one was promoted to the innate level, the sect would offer generous rewards.

I never expected that the reward was only two thousand taels of silver.

"Junior brother, you have a talent for treasure hunting and you have no shortage of money, so naturally you won't be interested in this silver."

Senior sister Yu Lanyin giggled and said:

"For many post-natal martial arts disciples, two thousand taels of silver is not a small amount of money."

"That's what junior sister said."

Tong Yuncong laughed out loud:
"In fact, the biggest benefit of becoming an innate martial artist is that you can hold an important position in Medicine King Valley. As long as you are bold and want to make money, you can do it easily. In a year or two, you will be able to make a lot of money."

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Lanyin glanced at Tong Yuncong in a reproachful manner: "Don't teach my junior brother bad things."

"Hahahaha~"

Tong Yuncong smiled but did not respond.

After hearing this, Qiu Zhen just smiled.

Having lived two lives, he is no fledgling and understands these twists and turns better than them.

Speaking of which, this time Medicine King Valley took the initiative to let their fellow disciples enter Medicine King Valley for training and assignments as a sign of closeness, and they really did not treat them unfairly, and all of them were given positions with real power.

After more than a year of rapid development, markets, workshops and trading markets have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in Qingmu.

In addition to the town outside Qingmu City becoming a major trade hub for the entire Changle Prefecture, four important large towns were also born in Qingmu.

These four towns are located in the far suburbs of Aoki, close to the mountains. They are the production and trading centers of mountain treasures, attracting countless people from the martial arts world, major chambers of commerce, and various forces.

Yaowang Valley is no exception and continues to increase its investment.

Nowadays, all drug stores and pharmacies in major towns have been upgraded to "drug halls" and are managed by hall masters.

Qiu Zhen, Tong Yuncong and Yu Lanyin were arranged to go to the Medicine King Guangling Hall in Guangling City, one of the four major towns.

From then on, the second senior brother Tong Yun was entrusted with an important task by the sect and served as the head of "Guangling Hall", in charge of all matters big and small in the hall, a true top leader.

This arrangement is not surprising.

Tong Yuncong has a profound level of martial arts training. He is less than 30 years old, but he is already a master of Xiantian Zhengang. He has also been training outside for many years. Whether it is martial arts strength or experience, he has the ability to stand on his own. It is not surprising that Yaowang Valley trusts him to be the chief manager.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Zhen and third senior sister Yu Lanyin, who had just entered the innate realm and were still young, were promoted to helmsmen and granted powerful positions.

The third sister is in charge of the front yard of the headquarters "Guangling Hall", in charge of all the doctors and apprentices in the front yard, and is responsible for medical treatment, medicine sales and other matters in the front yard.

Qiu Zhen is the head of the backyard of the headquarters "Guangling Hall", in charge of all matters in the backyard, preparing herbs, managing the herb-collecting and treasure-hunting team, etc. He also holds real power.

I have to say that Yaowang Valley was very sincere this time. They asked the three people to come to Yaowang Valley to work. None of them were assigned idle tasks. All of them held real power. Moreover, the arrangements were very appropriate based on the strengths of the three people.

Originally, Yaowang Valley planned to let the three of them go to different places for training separately, but the second senior brother Tong Yuncong vetoed it outright. He was worried about the junior brothers and sisters who had just entered the innate realm, and wanted to take them with him personally.

The elders of Medicine King Valley may have expected this, but they did not refuse. They readily arranged for them to go to Guangling City, Guangling Medicine Hall. Generally speaking, the functions of the various departments of "Guangling Hall" are similar to those of "Qingmu Medicine Shop" where Qiu Zhen was originally located, and are divided into three parts.

The front and back yards are dedicated to martial arts masters.

The tasks in the front and back yards are similar, and the focus is still on "serving martial arts masters".

In order for martial arts sects to make a living, conflicts are inevitable.

The most important force of the Medicine Hall lies in the "Worshipping Martial Master Team". Yaowang Valley has already appointed a deputy hall master and a helmsman to lead the "Worshipping Martial Masters" and be responsible for Guangling Hall's daily external affairs, power struggles, etc.

Guangling City is far away, about fifty or sixty miles away.

In fact, the three of them could travel faster on foot.

However, the second brother Tong Yuncong is an old hand in the world and believes that when traveling, the most important thing is to maintain one's own physical strength.

Unless there is something urgent, riding a horse is always the best choice as it does not consume physical energy.

Guangling City, Guangling Hall.

Perhaps they knew that the Guangling Hall Master, the Front Yard Leader, and the Back Yard Leader would take office today, so in the medical hall, all the apprentices, Medicine King disciples, and deacons had already made preparations to welcome them.

The front yard was crowded with people, many of whom were whispering, speculating and discussing something.

"Brother Liu, tell me which uncles will the sect send to Guangling Hall this time. I wonder if they will be easy to get along with."

Kang Zhuangyuan sighed quietly, with a somewhat sad look on his face.

Working under Master Shi over the past year, life has been tough. Not only do they not make any money, but Master Shi also has a fickle temper and is always scolding them. Working under him is truly filled with fear and anxiety, and each day feels like a year.

Not to mention, the managers of the same level who were parachuted in from the sect suppressed and excluded the locals, like a fierce dragon crossing the river, making them breathless.

He had been very depressed this year.

"No matter who it is, life is definitely not as good as before."

Liu Anqing shook his head, his face full of dejection.

At first, Qingmu Medicine Shop was located in a remote corner and was small, but as the shopkeeper of Qingmu Medicine Shop, he was in charge of all the affairs of the entire medicine shop. He was very glorious and powerful. Not to mention this matter, he did not have much ambition and could accept staying in the city as a small deacon or a small manager.

Who would have thought that fate would play tricks on us?

Yaowang Valley has continuously increased its investment in Qingmu. Now, it has established a mountain gate and a branch altar. The branch hall in Qingmu City has become a popular place.

Ordinary apprentices were easy to deal with, as no one was watching them. But managers, big and small, who did not have some status and background, could not stay there, and were sent one by one to work in remote towns.

Guangling Town is close to the mountains and is invaded by monsters and ferocious beasts. There are many desperate criminals among the people in the martial arts world that people come into contact with on a daily basis, so life is definitely not as peaceful as before.

Things in the world are unpredictable and fate is hard to predict.

When Liu Anqing and Kang Zhuangyuan thought of this, they couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"I just hope that the boss who comes this time will be more approachable."

As Liu Anqing and Kang Zhuangyuan were expressing their feelings, there was a commotion in the front yard of Guangling Hall.

Immediately afterwards, the "rumbling sound" of a galloping horse came from far away.

"Here they come. The hall master and the two helmsmen are here."

Following an exclamation from a steward, everyone rushed out to greet them.

Liu Anqing and Kang Zhuangyuan were no exception and followed them out to greet them.

From a very far distance, the two of them looked into the distance.

Then I saw three horsemen galloping towards me on the dirt road in the town.

There were three people riding horses, two men and one woman, all of them had childish faces and were incredibly young.

The leader was okay. Although he looked young, his face showed the mature temperament of being weathered and tempered by years of experience. The man and woman next to him looked so young that they were clearly teenagers or girls in their teens or twenties.

"very young!"

"Is this the head and helmsman of our Guangling Hall?"

"Master, I hope you didn't make a mistake."

"No, why do these three uncles look so unfamiliar? I don't think I've seen them very often."

The apprentices were talking among themselves, their faces filled with astonishment and confusion.

Although the managers and deacons were equally shocked, they kept silent and did not dare to gossip.

They knew very well that no matter how young they were, they were innate martial arts masters with sharp ears and eyes. They could hear them clearly from a distance.

Of course, the most shocked people in the crowd were Liu Anqing and Kang Zhuangyuan.

Many of the people around them were parachuted in from Yaowang Valley, and they didn't know the newcomers, but the two of them knew the youngest boy among the three.

“Brother Liu Liu, it’s Qiu Zhen!”

"I saw."

"Captain, if he becomes the captain, then we will become the captain too."

"I'm afraid so."

Liu Anqing and Kang Zhuangyuan looked at each other, looking at the young man in bright clothes riding a horse, with complicated feelings in their hearts.

Things are unpredictable. In just one year, the situations of both parties were completely changed.
