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

Chapter 122: Jade Purity Inner Phase
Are there any more clues about the immortal fate?

After listening to Fairy Yun Rou's telepathic message, Qiu Zhen temporarily put away the blood-colored spirit crystal, feeling a little surprised.

Good guy.

It’s different if you have a good background. You are well-informed and will get various clues about immortal fate from time to time.

Speaking of which, it has been more than a year since he obtained the [Miro Palace].

Except for one encounter with an immortal in the library at the master's house at the beginning and one encounter when I went to the old village of Qiu Family, I never encountered any immortal fate afterwards.

Master Yanshan, the Wooden Puppet Sect and others do not count. They are the boys delivering treasures and are too polite to be stopped.

He never encountered a true encounter with an immortal.

Over the past year, he would occasionally visit auctions, black markets, small markets, etc.

He encountered a treasure at a roadside stall, and no one else knew about it. However, he could see it at a glance with his [Miro Palace], and staged a shocking scene of picking up a bargain.
Theoretically, the probability is not small, and [Miro Palace] also uses it in this way.

But the reality is a slap in the face.

During the past year or so he spent in the Demon Suppression Division and Medicine King Valley, he had not been able to find any clues to the immortal fate - of course, even if he did come across an immortal fate, he would not act rashly if it was too risky.

Monk Zhenkong: "Fellow Daoist Yunrou, you are so lucky, almost as lucky as those who are blessed with good fortune. You should find a fellow Daoist who is good at fortune-telling. Who knows, you may be born with Huagai, which is amazing."

Qiu Zhen smiled when he heard this. The monk was actually a talker.

"Fairy Yunrou, is it possible that this time the fate of the Five Elements Treasure Gourd is greater than the last time?"

"Of course. Since both of you are here, why don't we go to Miro Palace and have a chat."

"good!"

As they were talking, the three people's consciousness entered the jade talisman and appeared in the Miro Palace.

Everyone took their seats.

Fairy Yunrou was sitting on a cloud chair. Seeing the two of them appear, she was very excited:

"You two, this time it's not some rare treasure, it's about the immortal fate and the immortal inheritance."

Qiu Zhen immediately became interested.

He remembered that Fairy Yunrou had just described this fate as "of great importance":
"Yun Rou, I wonder which immortal's true teachings this is from, and how come he is so 'important'?"

"According to the information I received, the immortal fate that appeared this time is of great importance, and a divine treasure edict has appeared."

As she spoke, Fairy Yunrou was faintly excited, and with reverence, she chanted:
"The inner minister of Jade Purity, the chosen immortal of the Golden Palace. He transformed into the teacher of the three religions, and judged the orders of the five thunders. He woke up from the dream of the Yellow Millet and forgot about his fame and fame in the world; the brilliance of the precious sword swept away the monsters in the world. He explained the incense of the Dharma and the ladder of the Xuansi. He was compassionate and aspiring, a great saint and a kind-hearted. He founded the sect and started the teaching, and was the spiritual response ancestor. The upper minister of the sky thunder, the real person of Lingbao. The pure Yang performed the right warning and transformed the Fuyou Emperor, and promoted the wonderful way of the heavenly master."

Qiu Zhen was shocked when he heard Fairy Yun Rou reciting the precious edict.

The Jade Purity Inner Minister, the Golden Palace Selected Immortal, the Pure Yang Fuyou Emperor
He was very familiar with the origin of this deity - Emperor Chunyang, Lu Zu.

The physical training martial art [Nine Turns to Elixir] that he was currently practicing included the Precious Edict of Lu Zu. Before practicing it, he must recite the Precious Edict of Lu Zu to calm his mind and concentrate.

"Lü Zu's Immortal Technique Inheritance"

"Fellow Taoist Qingwei is very knowledgeable. Yes, it is Lü Zu. It is said that Patriarch Chunyang was the Jade Purity Inner Minister of the ancient Heaven Court, who was in charge of selecting immortals in the Heaven Court. He was in a high position and had great magical powers."

"More than that."

When Qiu Zhen came to this world, he knew that the inheritance of the immortal world was intermittent, and he had a vague understanding of some immortal figures. At that moment, he nodded and said:
"Master Chunyang is proficient in alchemy and is also a swordsman. Fairy Yunrou, you are devoted to the swordsmanship. If you can learn from Master Lu, you will have a bright future as an immortal!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Fairy Yunrou's beautiful eyes are full of brilliance:

"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, Fellow Daoist Zhenkong, let's join forces and take down the immortal inheritance. There is no need to consider the distribution. We can all work together and share the cultivation together. Then we can discuss the Dao and make progress together. Isn't that wonderful?"

"That's the truth."

Monk Zhenkong and Qiu Zhen nodded slightly.

The three of them have different ways of practicing, but these days, they have been discussing and learning from each other, and have made great progress together.

None of the immortals' true teachings are simple. If one can comprehend them, even a monk like Zhenkong, who comes from a Buddhist sect, will benefit greatly.

Practicing Buddhism and cultivating Taoism are both essentially about "cultivating oneself and one's mind", which are no different.

Not to mention, Lu Zu is not only a sword immortal, but also the ancestor of the inner alchemy. Those who can practice and learn from his methods will benefit greatly.

"The inner alchemy is similar to my Tantric Buddhism's method of becoming a Buddha in this life. If I can comprehend and learn from it, it will surely be of great benefit to my Buddhist practice."

Monk Zhenkong seemed very straightforward this time and agreed immediately:

"I have nothing to do recently, Fairy Yunrou, I will accompany you this time."

"Okay, feel free!"

Fairy Yunrou was delighted, and then looked at Qiu Zhen, whose face was shrouded in mist and could not be seen clearly:

"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, how about you? Are you coming? Are you busy again?"

"Cough cough~"

Qiu Zhen coughed and his old face turned red.

He really doesn't have time.

Speaking of which, he was very interested in Lu Zu's immortal fate.

After all, the body-refining method he was currently practicing, the [Nine-turn Pill Returning Technique], was inherited from Lü Zu, and his top-level acquired physique also came from the creation of the Pure Yang Patriarch.
Under various fates, he was very concerned about Lu Zu's fate as an immortal.

He could choose not to try other opportunities for immortality, but he was determined to try his luck at this one, even if it involved some risks.

It was just unfortunate that as soon as he got the spiritual crystal, his cultivation level increased greatly and he even had the hope of a breakthrough.

At the critical moment, for the illusory immortal fate, he did not practice well and took risks.
Obviously, this is not a wise move.

"Fairy Yunrou, I really won't have time to split myself in the next few days." Seeing that Monk Zhenkong and Fairy Yunrou were very surprised, Qiu Zhen added:
"Thank you both for your time. If I can make it in time, I will join in. I hope you two will bear with me."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Monk Zhenkong, who was usually easy to talk to, chanted a Buddhist name and didn't care at all.

"Qingwei, the three of us have a deep friendship and have been friends for a long time. We know each other's temperaments very well. I went with the monk to look for immortals and investigate clues. It's okay to do more hard work, but..."

Fairy Yunrou hesitated a little when she said this, and after thinking for a moment:

"You are not still concentrating on studying the [Summoning and Refining Generals Method], and you are still thinking about inducing your mind to refine generals. This method is like planting a golden lotus in the fire, which is playing with fire and getting burned. You must not do it recklessly."

"What the fairy said is that this method is similar to the practice of male and female dual cultivation of bliss and emptiness in my Tantric Yoga. If you are not careful, you will go astray and sink into the bad path."

About half an hour later.

"This has caused Yunrou and the monk a lot of worry."

Qiu Zhen shook his head.

Just now, the two of them mentioned the "Heart and Horse Training Method", and their words were really fierce. They quoted classics, scolded him severely, and advised him earnestly not to be impulsive and to practice well.

The two of them are so nagging and annoying.

However, he did not feel irritated or impatient.

At least he knew this.

If I didn't really consider him a friend, I wouldn't have spent so much time trying to persuade him.

He has now mastered the [Mind and Horse General Training Method]. As long as his subsequent cultivation is improved, the "Mind and Horse General" can become the "main god" for others to think and visualize.

It is no exaggeration to say that this method is a cross-era method.

By then, he might be able to bring a small shock to the world of immortal cultivation in this world.

"In the Qingmu territory, there is another immortal connection with Lü Zu."

Qiu Zhen murmured to himself, feeling confused and uncertain.

Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong knew that the "immortal fate" was related to Lu Zu, and they were just simply expecting and delighted, but he smelled something unusual.

He learned from the Demon Suppression Division that the Wooden Puppet Sect had discovered a fairyland. He had received the immortal affinity of Lu Zu from the Yinshen cultivators of the Wooden Puppet Sect several times, but it was actually just an appetizer and not the core of the fairyland at all.

"Could it be that this matter is related to Taoist Mu Rong of the Mukui Sect?"

Qiu Zhen pondered in his heart.

He practiced patiently and did not rush to seek immortality because he had worries and concerns in this regard.

If this is really the plan of the Wooden Puppet Sect, this chance to become an immortal will not be easy to obtain.

Just now, he discussed the matter of immortal fate with Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong, and he also reminded them to be careful to guard against someone setting up a trap.

The two nodded solemnly and said they would be careful.

"Forget it, I'd better improve my cultivation first."

Qiu Zhen weighed the blood-colored spirit crystal in his hand, feeling expectant.

All these are due to insufficient cultivation.
With strong strength as a foundation, everything will go smoothly.

Early the next morning.

The backyard of Guangling Pharmacy is Qiuzhen Residence.

As soon as Qiu Zhen came back from Qiujia Village, the brothers Hong Tianxiao and Hong Tianbao came to visit him with some gifts.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Qiu, for saving my brother."

Hong Tianxiao looked grateful:

"I was very busy last night, so I came to you today to express my gratitude. I hope you will accept this small gift of respect, Brother Qiu."

Hong Tianbao, who still looked a little pale, bowed and saluted:

"Junior Brother Qiu, I am grateful for your kindness. If you need me in the future, just tell me what you want. I am useless. I only have this body of muscles. If you see someone you don't like, just tell him what you want and I will rush over with my weapons."

Qiu Zhen smiled:

"My two senior brothers, you are too polite. As fellow disciples, it is only right for us to help."

"Junior Brother Qiu is talking about fellow disciples."

The Hong brothers didn't sit there for long. After expressing their gratitude, they left quickly.

After the two brothers left, Qiu Zhen casually flipped through the gifts.

Although it is called a "souvenir", it is actually a considerable amount of money. The silver alone is three thousand taels, and there are also two magical herbs and precious medicines.

"It's quite generous."

Qiu Zhen flipped through it and quickly gave the thing to the steward Bai Shu, no longer paying attention to these mundane matters.

The blood-colored spirit crystal of the demon general Jiadou is more difficult to refine than the previous spirit crystals.

Last night, he spent the entire night purifying the remaining thoughts of the demon with the golden light of his soul and obtained a spiritual crystal that was extremely yang, pure and positive.

Under the baptism of the golden light of the soul, the "blood crystal" turned white and transparent, crystal clear, and emitting a hazy spiritual light.

Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged, staring at the transparent spirit crystal in his hand with burning eyes.

With his understanding, there is basically no threshold for him to enter a small realm. As long as his skills are sufficient, a breakthrough will be a natural thing.

“I don’t know if swallowing and refining this spiritual crystal can help me complete the initial stage of [Refining Essence into Qi], or if I can go further.”
