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

Chapter 189 Bone Restoration and Marrow Cleansing Pill

The court did not obtain the "Dragon King's Red Book"?
Qiu Zhen was a little surprised that the imperial court failed to capture Liang Wei.

"Where did the [Dragon King's Elixir Book] go? Did Shopkeeper Liang reveal anything?"

"I don't know about that. The interrogation file is top secret. Not many people in Changle Mansion know about it. Even the Mansion Master doesn't know the inside story."

Fairy Yunrou finished speaking and continued leisurely:
"If this is true, then the [Dragon King's Book of Elixir] either does not exist, or it has fallen into the hands of an immortal cultivator."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly.

A few days ago, the reason why Chonglou Chamber of Commerce was targeted by the Demon Suppression Bureau was that Chonglou Chamber of Commerce was suspected of colluding with immortal cultivators, working for the "demons and evil spirits" in the eyes of the court, providing spiritual herbs, precious medicines, and various supplies. That was why Manager Liang was summoned by the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Later, Liang Wei suddenly injured someone, fled for fear of being punished, and then revealed the incident of the "red letter".

This means that Liang Wei may have already known the immortal cultivator for a long time.

After the incident, [Dragon King's Elixir Book] was not in Liang Wei's hands, and the biggest suspicion was that it fell into the hands of immortal cultivators.

"What a pity. I'm afraid this opportunity will be wasted. What a waste of effort."

Yun Rou's tone was full of regret.

Immortal cultivators are different from martial arts masters.

Martial artists come and go in the martial arts world with dignity, marry, have children, settle down in one place, have a name, a birth date, residual aura, and are entangled in karma. They usually leave many clues behind, and if you want to find them, there are many places to start.

Even if there are no clues, immortal cultivators still have secret methods of searching for people, and there are endless ways to find people, including the mysterious and profound immortal method [Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Ear Reporting Method].

However, if the [Dragon King's Book of Elixir] falls into the hands of immortal cultivators, it will be very difficult to find it.

Immortal cultivators are often searched by the Demon Suppression Bureau and have to hide everywhere. They are always cautious. In addition, they have cut off their worldly ties, have no worries, and have no fixed place to live. They rarely leave any clues that could reveal their identity, and even the conditions for casting spells are hard to find. Trying to find the other party is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Qiu Zhen also knew the difference and smiled:

"If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. If it doesn't happen, forget it."

"Forget it. I might as well exorcise evil spirits and slay demons when I have time. It will be better than anything else if I can get some spiritual essence."

Fairy Yunrou spoke of the "essence of spiritual energy" and her tone suddenly became excited:

"Qingwei, how about allocating a little more spiritual essence to me? If you allocate a little more, I will definitely work harder to exorcise evil spirits."

"Ahem~ Fairy Yunrou, my pet is about to break through, I have to go protect it now, let's talk next time when we are free."

Fairy Yunrou: ".——
"Fortunately, I dodged quickly."

Qiu Zhen hurriedly put the somewhat hot [Miro Palace] jade token into the [Jade Dragon Seal] storage space and no longer paid attention to Fairy Yun Rou.

The 60:40 split is already his biggest concession, and we cannot set this precedent.

When it comes to matters of principle, we will not give in.

As for the news brought by Fairy Yunrou, he didn't take it too seriously.

He has no obsession with [Dragon King's Elixir Book] and adopts the mentality of taking a chance regardless of whether there is any result or not.

He didn't really care that the opportunity was gone.

After collecting the [Miro Palace] jade talisman, Qiu Zhen glanced at the sleeping Bai Zhu and saw that its breathing was stable and it was not seriously injured. He immediately left the purification room and walked towards the courtyard where his eldest brother Qiu Qing lived.

Bai Zhu had made a lot of noise these days refining the magic pill, but Qiu Qing and Liang Yin were unaware of it.

The two of them really enjoyed the secluded days living in the small courtyard in the valley. They practiced martial arts in standing meditation early in the morning. In their spare time, the eldest brother Qiu Qing helped to tend the medicine fields and cook, while Liang Yin did needlework and cleaned the courtyard. The man farmed and the woman wove. Their days were comfortable and fulfilling, and they enjoyed themselves very much.

"Little brother, are you out?"

The eldest brother Qiu Qing was watering the herbs with Xiao Zaozi. When he saw Qiu Zhen coming out, he smiled and said:

"The village killed a ferocious deer. I cut off two kilograms of it. We will eat deer meat tonight."

"Row."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly and asked casually:
"Where's Sister Yin'er?"

"I'm here."

Not far away on the valley bank, Liang Yin, who was washing clothes, probably heard the noise and came over:
"Ji Lang, you came to me."

Qiu Zhen nodded:

"Sister Yin'er, I just heard that Uncle Liang was captured by the Demon Suppression Division."

"Ah~"

Liang Yin, who had a gentle smile on her face, was struck by the news. It was like a bolt from the blue. She pursed her lips with her hands and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Qiu Qing was dull and not good at speaking, so he didn't know how to comfort Liang Yin, so he immediately put his arm around Liang Yin's arm to comfort her.

Qiu Zhen didn't say anything, just let Liang Yin calm down.

After a burst of sobbing and venting her inner emotions, Liang Yin calmed down and looked at Qiu Zhen with hope:

"Erlang, after being sent to the Demon Suppression Division, is there any hope for my father to survive?"

"It depends on whether he has practiced the immortal cultivation method."

Qiu Zhen was exorcising evil spirits in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was well acquainted with the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Before, Chonglou Merchants worked for demons and evil spirits, which was not a big deal. At most, they would be fined and their money would be confiscated. Even if Uncle Liang fought with the Demon Suppression Division, his crime would not be punishable by death if there were no casualties. With his strength as an innate martial artist, he would most likely be exiled to the frontier and sent to the vanguard camp. If he could make up for his crime and make meritorious contributions, he might even be able to return to Changle Prefecture."

"But once he practices the cultivation method, he will surely die."

"This"

Liang Yin looked gloomy.

If she guessed correctly, her father was most likely practicing some method of cultivating immortals.

Although she was mentally prepared, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard the news.

"Sister Yin'er, do you know where Uncle Liang got the elixir that improves his power?"

"I don't know that either."

Liang Yin's face showed a look of reminiscence:

"I just remember that in the past two years, the family business was getting worse day by day. My father was very worried and sad all day long. It was only in the past six months that the situation improved. After that, he became busy and disappeared all day long. He also went around collecting precious medicinal materials and secretly making pills."

At this point, Liang Yin paused, a little hesitant, but soon his eyes became firm again:

"My father left me a dowry. After the incident, I took it out immediately."

As he spoke, Liang Yin took out a sachet from his waist and handed it over.

Qiu Zhen took the sachet without hesitation.

turn on.

Just pour it out.

They turned out to be two pills wrapped in gold foil and emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

"What kind of elixir is this?"

"do not know."

Liang Yin shook his head:
"It happened suddenly. My father never mentioned it. I didn't know what the elixir was for, so I never dared to take it."

"You were right not to eat it."

Qiu Zhen tasted the elixir carefully but couldn't see any clues.

The art of alchemy is profound and extensive.

There are countless panaceas out there, so it's normal not to recognize one.

"I'll ask Master to taste it for me. Once I know the magical effects of the elixir, you can take it later. Sister Yin'er, what do you think?"

"It's all up to Jilang."

Liang Yin nodded without objection.

After seeing the Heaven-Covering Palm Technique that fell from the sky that day, she no longer worried that her future brother-in-law would embezzle her dowry, which was why she took out the elixir so straightforwardly.

"it is good."

Qiu Zhen took out a pill, put the other one back into the sachet, and handed it back to Liang Yin.

Immediately, he said nothing more and turned away.

Just before leaving the valley, the eldest brother Qiu Qing caught up with us from behind.

"Little brother, is there really no way to save Uncle Liang?"

"It must be a bad omen." Qiu Qing sighed, and then became a little worried:
"My dear brother, Uncle Liang is practicing immortal arts, which is evil. Will the Liang family be implicated?"

"It is certain that they will be implicated. Even if they have not practiced immortal arts, the Liang family will be exiled to the frontier."

Qiu Zhen said with a firm tone:

"But don't worry, big brother. I'll protect Sister Yin'er. She'll be fine."
-
Aoki Castle, Anfu Hall.

"There is such a thing."

An Jishi was sitting in the main seat. When he heard Qiu Zhen mention Liang Yin, he smiled warmly:
"This is not a big deal. Let's avoid the limelight and wait until the dust settles. Then we can change Liang Yin's name and forge a new identity. Even if the government has doubts, it won't be too difficult."

"That's what I was planning."

Qiu Zhen nodded and was not worried about Liang Yin's subsequent arrangements.

The real trouble with the Qiu family incident is the [Dragon King's Red Book]. Someone wants to find clues from the Liang family and look for Liang Wei.

If he tried to protect Liang Yin, it would easily bring him disaster.

Now that Liang Wei has been arrested, the Liang family is safe and no longer attracts attention.

"Master, I am here to see you today because I want you to help me taste the elixir."

Qiu Zhen casually took out a pill from his sleeve and held it in his palm:

"This is the dowry Liang Wei left for Sister Yin'er, but she didn't have time to tell me the magical effect of the elixir. I am not knowledgeable enough to recognize the elixir. Master, please help me taste it."

“Oh, there’s this.”

An Jishi became interested and took the pill.

Immediately, he carefully opened the pill cover, observed the pill, slowly sniffed the fragrance of the pill, and tasted it carefully.

At first, he didn't care too much, but soon his expression changed and he looked shocked.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhen became interested:
"Master, do you know this pill? Does it have a great history?"

"It's more than just a great origin!"

An Jishi took a deep breath:

"Disciple, this pill is called [Bone Restoration and Marrow Cleansing Pill]. As the name suggests, this pill has the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow, making people reborn. It can transform one's bones and talents, and enlighten one's wisdom. After taking this pill, although you won't have the good fortune of top-level bones acquired after birth, it will not be difficult for an average person to naturally have an upper-middle-level bone."

what!
Qiu Zhen was shocked.

An elixir that can transform you completely!
Talents and physiques are innate and cannot be changed.

Originally, he was just a mortal with mediocre talent. It was only with the help of Lu Zu, the immortal, that he acquired top-level physique [golden tendons and jade bones].

Apart from this, he had never heard of any treasure with such miraculous uses in the world.

"Master, why haven't I heard of this [Bone Restoration and Marrow Cleansing Pill] before?"

"Of course you haven't heard of it."

An Jishi said leisurely:

"Most people in the martial arts world have never heard of it. This pill is an ancient immortal pill, the culmination of the golden pill path. It is a thing that goes against the will of heaven and ordinary alchemists cannot refine it at all."

Qiu Zhen was stunned.

"So, Uncle Liang has indeed gained immortal fate."

"Of course, he can't make such an elixir."

About an hour later.

After asking for advice, Qiu Zhen did not stay in the An Mansion for long and left in a hurry.

After Qiu Qing left, An Jishi did not leave as usual. Instead, he sat quietly in the main room, lost in thought.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Nan Ruyi came to the main hall and was surprised to see An Jishi in a daze:
"Husband, what's wrong with you? I heard that Xiaozhen just came. What did he say to you?"

An Jishi murmured, "Found it."

Nan Zhiyi was slightly surprised:
"What did you find?"

"Then the next Danshu!"

Nan Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, but soon she understood something.

The family moved from Changle City to Qingmu in a remote corner, naturally not out of temporary interest, but with a purpose and a desire.

"Husband, what is the opportunity for your breakthrough?"

An Jishi looked calm and nodded slightly:

"Yes, the alchemy book that Liang Wei obtained is the opportunity I am looking for. In that alchemy book, there is the key method for me to achieve the great way."

"This is a good thing!"

Nan Zhiyi was delighted, with a little excitement on her face:
"I'm afraid that may not be the case."

An Jishi shook his head:

"The Demon Suppression Division has arrested Liang Wei. According to the information I have inquired, the imperial court did not obtain the Danshu, and it fell into the hands of others. It is suspected that it was in the hands of the immortal cultivator that Chonglou Chamber of Commerce had dealt with before."

"Immortal cultivator?"

Nan Zhiyi was slightly stunned:
"That may be difficult to handle."
-
The streets of Aoki County.

"Brother, Sister Yin'er is really lucky."

Qiu Zhen secretly sighed in his heart.

After learning from his master that Liang Yin's "dowry" was two [Bone Restoring and Marrow Cleansing Pills], he immediately understood Liang Wei's plan.

[Returning Bones and Cleansing Marrow Pill] Eating too much is useless.

Liang Wei left two for Liang Yin as a dowry.

Obviously, the other one was prepared for Liang Yin's husband.

If Liang Yin could meet the right person, someone worthy of trust, these two pills would be able to help the couple.

[Bone Restoration and Marrow Cleansing Pill] is not as good as Qiu Zhen's top-level acquired physique. After the transformation, it has at most upper-middle physique qualifications. However, for ordinary martial artists, this is already a great opportunity.

After taking the [Bone Restoration and Marrow Cleansing Pill], their bones will be transformed. Even if their family falls into poverty and they have no resources for cultivation, the couple can continue to practice martial arts.

With above-average aptitude and aptitude, they could achieve the fifth level of martial arts master through martial arts training, and it would be almost certain for them to achieve the great perfection of self-cultivation.

Even if there is opportunity and luck, it is not impossible to achieve innateness.

"Uncle Liang is thoughtful."

Qiu Zhen sighed inwardly, glanced up casually, and found that he had arrived at the city gate without realizing it.

Immediately, he quickened his pace and left the county.

Just at this moment, he suddenly heard a call from behind.

"Brother Qiu!"

Qiu Zhen's cultivation is now very high, and even though the surroundings are noisy, he can hear clearly that it is indeed someone calling him.

He turned around and glanced around.

Soon, he saw a familiar figure on the distant street corner.

"Uncle Li."

The person who called him was not someone else, but his former neighbor and employer, Uncle Li.

When Qiu Zhen saw Uncle Li, he was happy at first, but soon frowned slightly.
