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

Chapter 182: Heartbeat! Qiu Zhen's sudden realization

On the outskirts of Qingmu City, the Demon Suppression Office.

In the underground prison, a group of demon-suppressing martial artists and clerks were coming in and out in a hurry.

In the past few days, with the arrest of the Liang family of the Chonglou Chamber of Commerce, a large number of people involved in the case were imprisoned, and the Demon Suppression Division Prison was overcrowded.

As the saying goes, a man gets his name as a tree gets its shadow.

The reputation of the Demon Suppression Division is known to everyone, young and old, and its notoriety spreads far and wide.

Not to mention being imprisoned, even a simple summons from the Demon Suppression Division is enough to scare people, and they would dare not hide anything afterwards, and would confess everything like the sound of a bamboo tube pouring out beans.

This is the power of the three words "Demon Suppression Division".

Wu Chuanfeng came out of the Demon-Suppressing Prison, holding a file in his hand with a look of hesitation on his face.

A clerk nearby saw this and couldn't help asking:

"Captain Wu, we have uncovered a clue, why do you look so worried?"

"What do you know."

Wu Chuanfeng shook his head, without explaining anything to the clerk beside him, he held the file and left the courtyard.

Not long after.

Wu Chuanfeng came to a beautiful courtyard in the backyard of the Demon Suppression Division.

"Sir, I have something important to report."

"Chuanfeng, come in."

A steady and deep voice came from the courtyard.

Wu Chuanfeng took two steps at a time and walked quickly into the house.

Inside the room, Wei Tanzhi was looking through the files at his desk without even raising his head. Then he asked:
"Have you found any clues about the Liang family?"

"Exactly!"

Wu Chuanfeng nodded seriously.

As a junior lieutenant in the Demon Suppression Division, he has Lieutenant Xiantian and the deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division above him. If he finds any clues, he should report them step by step.

Only in special cases would he report to his superiors and report to his own son first.

And now, the Liang family Danshu case of Chonglou Chamber of Commerce is a special "case".

Not only did the Demon-Suppressing General Xu Guangmou take this case very seriously, but the capital was also paying close attention to it. It was currently the Demon-Suppressing Division's top priority case.

"Sir, there is a very strange clue. I think it is full of doubts, so I came to report to you."

Wei Tanzhi buried his head in his desk, cherishing every word:

"explain."

"It's like this. According to my investigation, on the day when our Demon Suppression Division sent people to investigate the shopkeeper Liang of Chonglou Chamber of Commerce, someone from Yaowang Valley came to the Liang Mansion to act as a matchmaker, hoping to marry Liang Yin, the youngest daughter of the Liang family."

Yaowang Valley?
Wei Tanzhi, who was concentrating on studying the case files, was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked up and asked:

"Which one in Yaowang Valley?"

Yaowang Valley is a major sect in Changle Prefecture. There are many factions within the sect, and there are factions within the sect.

"The two people who came to propose marriage are from Qingmu. They used to be the shopkeeper and manager of Qingmu Medicine Shop in Yaowang Valley. They have a good relationship with Liang Wei and are currently the manager of Guangling Medicine Hall in Yaowang Valley. They came to Liang Mansion to propose marriage at the request of their boss Qiu Zhen, to propose marriage for Qiu Zhen's brother Qiu Qing."

Wu Chuanfeng said this without hiding anything and told the whole story:

"Today, I interrogated the servants of the Liang Mansion and sent people to question the matchmakers Liu and Kang, and confirmed that the matchmaking did take place."

"Oh, that's true."

Wei Tanzhi became interested after hearing this:

"Qiu Zhen has a good relationship with the Liang family?"

"I don't know."

Wu Chuanfeng shook his head and said after some consideration:

"However, Qiujia Village has had a lot of dealings with the Chonglou Chamber of Commerce. Most of the medicinal materials in their village are supplied to the Chonglou Chamber of Commerce. There has been a lot of exchanges between them. It is said that during the trading process, Liang Yin, the youngest daughter of the Liang family, and Qiu Qing, the elder brother of Qiu Zhen, met each other. After a few exchanges, the two of them flirted with each other and secretly fell in love."

"A few days ago, Qiu Qing practiced martial arts and became a post-natal martial arts master. Then, the Qiu family sent someone to the Liang Mansion to propose marriage and matchmaking."

"Has Liang Yin been found?"

"No, I'm on the run now."

Wu Chuanfeng talked incessantly, but in order to take credit, he did not exaggerate and what he said was extremely pertinent.

Basically, I only talk about the findings of the investigation without adding my own subjective judgment.

"It's interesting."

After listening to this, Wei Tanzhi put down the file in his hand, with a playful look on his face:
"Chuanfeng, good job, this clue is crucial."

After hearing the praise from his master, Wu Chuanfeng did not show much joy on his face, but instead felt curious.

In fact, Wu Chuanfeng didn't think that the Qiu family had any connection with the Liang family. With his many years of experience in handling cases, he thought it must be a pure coincidence.

Of course, he "felt" it was useless.

My master has instructed that any clues about the "Liang family" must be reported to me immediately.

"Sir, do you see any problem?"

"There really seems to be no problem with the case."

After Wei Tanzhi finished speaking, his eyes were full of complexities, and he slowly began to speak:
"If it were someone else's family, this would be a perfectly normal regretful marriage, but in the Qiu family, and because it has something to do with Qiu Zhen, it's different."

Wu Chuanfeng may have thought of something, and said:
"Sir, do you mean that Qiu Zhen will protect Liang Yin?"

"It's more than just protecting Liang Yin."

Wei Tanzhi shook his head with a slight smile on his face:
"Qiu Zhen has a great destiny, good luck and great blessings. According to rumors, he has the destiny of a mountain god and is destined to be with the Jade Dragon Mountain Lord. He is one of the candidates for the future Jade Dragon Mountain God and Dragon King. Some treasures are so desirable to others, but for him, it is often the other way around. Under the influence of chance and destiny, treasures and immortal fates are chasing him."

Wu Chuanfeng was shocked. It was the first time he heard of such a secret thing and he was extremely surprised.

However, he had no time to be surprised at Qiu's true background.

Soon, he, who had been handling cases for many years, suddenly understood something.

The reason why the Chonglou Chamber of Commerce case caused a sensation was because of [Dragon King's Red Book].

Dragon King Mountain God Fate Chart and Danshu.
Wu Chuanfeng was not a slow-witted person and he immediately understood what his master meant.

"You are planning to investigate Qiu Zhen again."

Wu Chuanfeng hesitated and felt worried. Last time he attacked Qiu Zhen, his son suffered a great loss. Now he had no solid evidence:

"Sir, it's not easy to act based on just guesswork."

Wei Tanzhi smiled and said, "Haha, let's not take action this time."
-
The backyard of Aoki County Government Office.

Late at night, the moonlight pours down like water, illuminating the dancing bamboos in the courtyard.

The courtyard is quiet and peaceful.

There were only the occasional chirping of insects and the whistling of the wind, and no other sounds. It was extremely quiet.

It is time to fall into a deep sleep.

However, in the boudoir in the courtyard, the lights were flickering, and the girl was sitting cross-legged on the exquisitely carved mahogany bed. Her heart was in turmoil and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Such a pure spiritual essence, so true and pure"

Liu Wanqiu murmured to herself, feeling both surprised and happy.

Yesterday, she performed the [Monkey Heart Technique] and obtained five spiritual essences from the [Monkey Heart General]. Out of trust in Qingwei, she had almost no hesitation and started to refine the "spiritual essences" that day to see what the effect would be.

In fact, although she recognized the "spiritual essence" from the beginning, it was a good thing that could save hard work in cultivation, and the effect must be better than the elixir of strengthening the body and nourishing the spirit. However, she did not have too high expectations for the purity of the "spiritual essence".

After all, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is born from the intercourse of yin and yang and is evolved naturally, so it is inevitable that it will be contaminated by foreign gases.

Even the legendary fairyland may not have such "true and pure" spiritual energy.

However, the truth surprised her.

The five balls of "spiritual essence" given by Qingwei are truly "true and pure", close to the "innate qi" that cultivators have been cultivating and refining for a long time.

She casually practiced her internal profound skills, capturing the Kan and filling the Li. After the dragon and the tiger mated, the innate Qi in her body was born and her cultivation level increased rapidly.

She refined five balls of "spiritual essence" one after another to improve her skills.

In just one day, her cultivation level improved significantly.

The improvement is so great that it can be seen with the naked eye.

According to her rough estimate, these five balls of "spiritual essence" saved her at least two or three months of hard training.

Entering the level of "refining essence into qi", whether it is martial arts or immortality, the improvement of cultivation is extremely slow. It is a painstaking practice of "ten years to sharpen a sword" and a painstaking effort day and night.

Often, even after one day of hard practice, the improvement in cultivation is not obvious. It takes persistence day after day to see results.

Sometimes, one's mind is restless and possessed by evil thoughts, and one's cultivation may even be impaired.

Overnight, his cultivation increased visibly.
She never thought that practicing could be so simple.

Even though she was born into a wealthy family and had no shortage of resources, she had never had such a smooth sailing life.

The most crucial thing is that the "essence of spiritual energy" is different from the elixir that strengthens the body and improves the power. It is the most essential spiritual energy, without "elixir poison" or "turbid qi of precious medicine", and is no different from the immortal cultivators who refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The "essence of spiritual energy" is extremely genuine and pure, and is truly a top-level elixir for spiritual practice.

If we have to say that there are shortcomings and hidden dangers, it is that taking the "Essence of Spiritual Energy" will increase your cultivation level too quickly, making your cultivation level superficial and unstable.

Without cultivating one's mind and character, it is easy to breed demonic obstacles.

"Where does this pure spiritual essence come from?"

Liu Wanqiu was curious.

She had entered the "middle stage of refining essence into qi" two years ago and cultivated into the [Sun-Wandering God]. If she had practiced according to the rules, even if she had excellent physique and talent, it would take her at least six or seven years to complete the [Sun-Wandering God].

Even if the elixir could improve her skills, she would not dare to take too much, for fear of being greedy and reckless. She was extremely cautious about the so-called "magic elixir".

But if there is a top-level cultivation medicine like [Spiritual Essence]...
Liu Wanqiu's heart couldn't help but beat fast, and she felt expectant.

"I don't know if it's difficult to obtain the essence of spiritual energy."

As soon as she thought of this, Liu Wanqiu immediately took out the [Miro Palace] jade talisman from her sleeve.

At this moment, the jade talisman of [Miro Palace] glowed faintly.

"Qingwei replied to the message?"

Liu Wanqiu was filled with anticipation and immediately immersed her spiritual consciousness in it.

Soon, she couldn't help feeling disappointed.

The person who transmitted the message through spiritual consciousness was not Qingwei, but the heart meridian cultivator to whom she passed on the "talisman seed".

"Fairy Yunrou, I wonder if you have obtained the [Spiritual Essence] passed down by the Heart Monkey Patriarch. This thing is so genuine and pure that it is the best medicine in the world for cultivation. If I had known that there was this treasure, I would have exchanged it with my friends to find people and things and presented it to the Heart Monkey Patriarch."

"Fairy, can you please see the Master of the Heart Monkey? I have a method in my hand and I would like to present it to the Master of the Heart Monkey. Unfortunately, the Master seems to be in seclusion right now."

"Fairy, I also have a method of hearing the news."

Upon hearing the telepathic message coming from [Miro Palace] like snowflakes, Liu Wanqiu shook her head helplessly.

However, she was not surprised.

For people who are of the "heart master lineage", the attraction of "spiritual essence" is probably far greater than that of [Dragon Lord's Book of Elixir].

After all, the opportunity of [Dragon King's Book of Elixir] is illusory, but the [Essence of Spiritual Energy] is real.

It is no surprise that the heart master meridian was in an uproar when this opportunity arose.

While Liu Wanqiu was thinking, a pulling force came from the [Miro Palace].

The next moment, her spirit left her body and sank into the jade talisman.

Soon, they arrived at the Mi Luo Fairy Palace.

In the Fairy Palace, Yu Chanzi was eagerly waiting. When he saw Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong appear, he couldn't wait to ask:

"My two fellow Taoists, you have a close relationship with fellow Taoist Qingwei. Have you been able to contact him in the past two days?"

Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Never."

"I haven't even contacted you."

Yu Chanzi was a little disappointed, smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"After the Heart Master issued the order, the Heart Meridian monks under my command were shocked. They all went crazy and asked me for [Spiritual Essence] from time to time."

"Amitabha, it is the same here."

Monk Zhenkong twisted his Buddhist beads and said with a smile:
"The Heart Master is searching for the method of searching for objects. I believe that Taoist Qingwei is currently assisting the Immortal and has no time to take care of other things."

"I suppose so."

Yu Chanzi shook her head:

"I don't know which fellow Taoist offered such profound Dharma that allowed the Immortal to retreat and not have time to care about other things. Well, let alone them, even I can't sit still right now. Our Xinyuan lineage is much stronger than I imagined. The Immortal is a true cultivator with great supernatural powers."

Speaking of this, Yu Chanzi's face was full of emotion, without any arrogance of a powerful [Yu Qi You Shen] warrior. When he mentioned the "Heart Master", he looked humble and respectful, with a bit of awe on his face.

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.

After hearing Yu Chanzi's words, Liu Wanqiu frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.

The "profound method" that Yu Chanzi mentioned was what she passed on to Qingwei.

The most important thing is that she knows that Qingwei’s method of searching for objects and people is not for the [Dragon King’s Elixir Book], but to find the youngest daughter of the Liang family.

"I don't know how Qingwei's [Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Ear Reporting Method] is doing, and whether he has found Liang Yin."
-
The valley of the ruins of the Dragon King's palace.

The night passed in a flash, and the dawn began to break.

Baizhu and Xiaozaozi stood guard at the entrance of the valley, one on the left and one on the right, for the entire night.

Suddenly.

With a loud bang, thunder exploded in the sky.

Baizhu and Xiaozaozi noticed something and turned around at the same time.

A powerful and terrifying aura suddenly erupted in the valley, as if a dormant giant beast had awakened.

A strong sense of oppression came from the depths of the valley.

"Yes, young master, the young master has come out of seclusion after enlightenment."

Little Zaozi shook the tree branch and ran into the valley without saying a word.

Bai Zhu was stunned, but without saying a word, he followed closely.

As soon as the two little guys arrived at the valley, they were both stunned.

The reason is simple. In the valley, Qiu Zhen's whole body is covered with golden hair and mysterious light is shining.

What surprised them even more was that clouds and mist were rising around Qiu Zhen and a strange phenomenon appeared.

Amid the rolling clouds and mist, spiritual energy flows, and the scene is magnificent.

There are blue dragons in the sky, white tigers circling, red birds flying, dragon turtles sitting, thunder gods wrapped in thunder, stars twinkling, the sun and the moon in the sky. In the rolling clouds, it seems that hundreds of figures emerge.
