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

Chapter 155 Grandmaster Level Evil Spirit

Mountain god’s seal?

Where is the mountain god's seal?

After Qiu Zhen's spirit transformed into Yuanshi Tianzun for sacrifice and refining, the [Jade Dragon Seal] became his magic weapon.

He did not tell his master An Jishi and his mistress Nan Zhiyi about this matter.

There is no other reason.

There's no way to explain it.

Whether it is the sacrifice of the primordial spirit or the recognition of the master by the magic weapon, they are all means used by cultivators.

Qiu Zhen was originally thinking about how to explain the Mountain God Seal to his master and mistress in the future. But now that he heard his master An Jishi talking about the Jade Dragon Mountain Lord violating a taboo, he had an idea in his mind and quickly came up with an excuse. Without thinking too much, he blurted out:

"No, the Mountain God Seal suddenly disappeared. I came to you today to talk to you about this."

"Gone?"

An Jishi remained calm:
"Why not?"

"I don't know. After I was hurt mentally, the bronze seal suddenly disappeared."

Qiu Zhen didn't think much about it and pushed it all to the "Giant Palm Covering the Sky".

Even Master An Jishi only had a vague understanding of this strange phenomenon in heaven and earth, and did not fully understand it, and he was also "mentally injured" to testify to this.

The two confirmed each other, and the account was settled at once.

This will save me the trouble of explaining the whereabouts of the Mountain God Seal to my Master and Mistress in the future.

"This is actually happening."

After hearing what Qiu Zhen said, An Jishi fell into deep thought. Soon, he seemed to have figured out the whole story. He showed a look of sudden enlightenment:

"No wonder you were suddenly hurt. I guess it's not your fate that is related to Jade Dragon Mountain Lord, but the bronze seal is related to Dragon Lord. You were caught in the crossfire and were affected by the killing calamity."

Having said this, An Jishi became more and more certain of his guess.

He had personally experienced the "Giant Palm that Covers the Sky" and knew the power of that shocking palm, which he could not withstand.

Even if his disciple has a destiny, if his cultivation is not enough and he cannot awaken his spirit, he will not be able to survive no matter how strong his life is.

The only explanation is that the target of the "Giant Palm Covering the Sky" was not Qiu Zhen, he was just affected.

After saying this, An Jishi looked ashamed:

"Your master and your master's wife had good intentions when we gave you the Mountain God Seal. I didn't expect that it almost harmed you."

"Master, who could have predicted this? Besides, I have a destiny. No matter what, I will always be involved in these causes and effects. I can't avoid them."

Qiu Zhen saw that his master An Jishi looked ashamed and felt guilty. He didn't want to take advantage of him, so he didn't say more on this topic. He thought:
"Master, are there many evil spirits pouring into Changle Mansion this time?"

"not much."

An Jishi shook his head and explained:

"The imperial court cannot wipe out the Demon Abyss, but each Demon Abyss is guarded by the imperial court's elite troops. This time, due to the riot of the Demon Abyss, most of the evil demons were suppressed, and only a few escaped and poured into Changle Mansion."

"That is not bad."

Qiu Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"fine?"

An Jishi shook his head:

“There aren’t many evil spirits coming here, but they are all very powerful, starting with Yin God powerhouses. I heard there are also some demons that can rival martial arts masters. Otherwise, the court wouldn’t have sent Xu Guangmou to lead the [Demon Suppression Dragon and Tiger Cavalry] to sit in Changle Mansion.”

Good guy!
Qiu Zhen was secretly a little frightened that he had actually attracted a demon who was comparable to a martial arts master.

I'm not their target, am I?

Although Master An Jishi and outside rumors have linked the "Heaven-Covering Palm" to the ancient powerful Jade Dragon Mountain Lord.

However, family members know their own business.

The giant palm that covered the sky was aimed at him, and as for the subsequent uprising of evil spirits in the heart, it was probably also related to him.

So guessing
In eight to nine out of ten cases, the target of the evil spirits in the heart is him. He is the "evil spirit" mentioned by the devil.

An Jishi saw that his disciple frowned and was slightly worried, so he smiled and said:

"Are you worried that the evil spirits in your heart will come after you?"

"good."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly:

"I was injured for no apparent reason. I think there must be some connection. I'm not sure if it will attract evil spirits."

"Don't worry about that." An Jishi smiled.

"You overestimate the inner demons. They are essentially walking corpses, without thoughts or ideas. Even without the giant palm that covers the sky, the Demon Abyss will riot from time to time. If the inner demons escape, they will cause trouble and cause great suffering to the people. This is Shen Ke's stubborn disease. You don't need to worry too much."

"The giant palm that covers the sky is the killing calamity, and the subsequent riot in the Demon Abyss is just a side effect. You don't have to worry about the demons and evil spirits looking for you. They don't have the ability to do that. Besides, your fate must have nothing to do with the Dragon King, otherwise, you would have died in the killing calamity long ago."

"That's good."

Qiu Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The inner demon that rivals that of a martial arts master has set his sights on him, and even though he has many cards up his sleeve, it is difficult for him to withstand it.

But if it is just an ordinary demonic threat, then it is nothing.

In this world full of demons and evil spirits, both Qiu Zhen and the people of this world have gotten used to it.

While the master and the disciple were talking, Ankang walked in from outside.

"Sir, General Xu handed over an invitation, saying that the Demon Suppression Division has discovered a master-level evil demon, and asks for your help."

"Ok!"

An Jishi nodded slightly, picked up the long sword that he had prepared long ago, and said to Qiu Zhen:
"You should practice martial arts well and don't worry about other things. I will go and warm up. It has been a long time since I killed demons and monsters."

After saying this, An Jishi disappeared in a flash.

When Qiu Zhen saw this scene, he felt deeply moved.

Although Master An Jishi has a cold temperament and usually doesn't care about worldly affairs, he still has a chivalrous heart.

When encountering demons and evil spirits causing trouble, he is always willing to draw his sword and fight.

Moreover, they clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and at critical moments, they do not care about personal grudges with the Demon Suppression Division.

For a moment, Qiu Zhen and Ankang were the only ones left in the room.

"Uncle Kang, I was in seclusion a few days ago, and I didn't entertain you when you came to the manor."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Ankang waved his hand and smiled kindly:

"Xiao Zhen, I haven't been home for a few days. Madam was still talking about you a few days ago."

"Is the Master's wife in the house?"

Now that he was here, Qiu Zhen had to pay his respects to his master's wife, Nan Zhiyi. This was basic courtesy.

"Madam has returned to Changle Mansion and is not at home."

"Oh."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly and asked again:

"Where's Huayu?"

"I went to Guangling Pharmacy."

Ankang looked around at Qiu Zhen, and seeing that he really didn't know, a faint smile appeared on his face:
"Young Master Huayu achieved Xiantian a few days ago and was clamoring to go to Guangling Medicine Hall to look for you brothers. You were in seclusion, so you probably didn't know about it."

Hua Yu has achieved the innate state?
Qiu Zhen was a little surprised.

An Huayu had already achieved great perfection in his acquired self-cultivation, but had been stuck at this step for a long time. It was a cause for celebration that he had broken through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.

"This is a great joyous event, yet Master didn't even mention it just now."

"For an ordinary family, this would naturally be a happy event, but..."

Ankang shook his head, quite emotional:

"The Master and Madam are quite happy, but Young Master Huayu is not in a good mood and doesn't want a grand celebration."

Qiu Zhen was a little surprised when he heard it at first, but then relieved.

This may be the root cause of An Huayu's unhappiness and depression.

The threshold of "success" and "sense of accomplishment" is invisibly raised by family background. If it is a gifted person, it is okay, but it is the most uncomfortable for someone like An Huayu who is neither here nor there.

Even if he achieves some success, he won't have any sense of "accomplishment".

After all, my parents and brothers at home started with "innate talent" and it was not difficult at all.

How could he celebrate An Huayu's achievement of innateness?

"It's hard for Huayu."

"Oh, that's not it."

Just as Qiu Zhen and Ankang were talking, a servant rushed into the hall with a hurried look on his face:
"Manager Kang, Master Tong sent a letter asking why Master Huayu didn't go to Guangling Pharmacy today."
