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

Chapter 195: Taking Stock of the Harvest! Earth Grade [Yellow Bud Purple Gold Furnace]

The gold leaf is as thin as a cicada's wing and looks hard, but it feels as soft as silk in the hand and feels very good.

However, there were irregular tears on the edge of the golden page, as if it had been torn from some immortal scripture or classic book.

The spiritual consciousness sinks.

One can vaguely get a glimpse of the content of the external alchemy theory.

Qiu Zhen wanted to see more, but an invisible force was at work and the words in the alchemy book seemed to be shrouded in mist and suddenly became blurred.

"Dan Yuanzi's consciousness is sealed!"

Qiu Zhen muttered to himself and looked at the three corpses in the open space in the yard.

Just now, the pill recipe flew out from Dan Yuanzi's disciple.

To be precise, it was the one who kidnapped Li Xing'er and refined the "Golden Elixir Incarnation".

Qiu Zhen's thoughts raced, and after thinking about the conversation between the three brothers, he had a vague guess in his mind:
"This fragment of the alchemy book must be the recipe for refining the [Yin Yang Five Elements Golden Elixir]. Dan Yuanzi gave it to his disciples so that they could refine the golden elixir and transform it into a magical instrument to enhance their Dao-protecting magical powers."

Thinking of this, Qiu Zhen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He suddenly encountered the "immortal fate" and a "remaining page of the elixir book", and he thought it was the [Dragon Lord's elixir book].
I'm so excited.

The [Yin-Yang Five Elements Golden Pill] was also in the possession of Dan Yuanzi's eldest disciple. Obviously, the remaining pages of the Pill Book had been given to his fellow disciples long ago and had nothing to do with the [Dragon King Pill Book] that Liang Wei obtained.

"That's right. How could Dan Yuanzi pass on a treasure like the [Dragon Lord's Book of Elixir] to his disciples so casually?"

Qiu Zhen shook his head and put the golden page away.

The old monster's spirit is "sealed", and without special spells, it is impossible to peek.

If you try to break it open forcefully, you might accidentally destroy the golden pages of the Danshu.

Qiu Zhen was not in a hurry. He also possessed the power of the primordial spirit. He could slowly consume and refine it and eventually he would be able to refine the old monster's consciousness.

After putting away the gold pages, Qiu Zhen immediately began to take stock of his harvest.

About an hour later.

After Qiu Zhen and Xiao Zaozi worked together to count, they finally managed to count the mountain of harvest.

Speaking of which, without Bai Zhu, the little housekeeper, Qiu Zhen always felt that something was missing.

Little Zaozi was in a good mood and kept offering to help, but he was confused and his good intentions made things worse, making the situation worse.

Later on, it was basically Qiu Zhen who was counting alone, while Xiao Zaozi was responsible for creating the atmosphere.

After working for a while, I finally finished the inventory.

There was not much silver, only fifty thousand taels.

However, the other treasures are extremely amazing.

Dan Yuanzi is a master of alchemy. He has reached the pinnacle of alchemy and is also good at external alchemy. Because of this, when one raids his lair, the most treasures to be gained are medicinal herbs.

In one warehouse after another, the prepared medicinal materials were piled up like mountains, the number was extremely staggering.

In the huge open space of the courtyard, medicine boxes are piled up high, layer upon layer, which is a spectacular sight.

Qiu Zhen was born as an apprentice in a drug store and is an expert at identifying medicinal materials.

After a rough count, he had an idea.

The value of these medicinal herbs alone is over three hundred thousand taels of silver.

This does not include magical herbs and precious medicines.

There are one hundred and ten magical herbs and medicinal herbs alone.

Among them, there are ten hundred-year-old precious medicines with two spiritual wheels, which are very valuable.

In addition, there are various finished elixirs.

There are so many kinds of elixirs for curing diseases and injuries, replenishing essence and qi, and strengthening the body, it's dizzying to see.

If these finished pills were put on the market, they would be worth three or four hundred thousand taels of silver.

According to a rough estimate, the value of the finished pills and various medicinal materials may exceed one million taels of silver.

"As expected of an old monster of the Yuanshen Sect, he has a rich family background. He just raided a house and got a million taels of silver."

Qiu Zhen secretly sighed in his heart, and took the opportunity to put the finished pills and medicinal materials into the storage space.

Other than that, the rest is just some miscellaneous stuff.

There are a dazzling array of Taoist scriptures, alchemy books, various alchemy recipes, and alchemy tools such as alchemy furnaces.

[Miro Palace] There were no subsequent unusual movements. These Taoist scriptures and alchemy books were all just ordinary things and had no connection with immortality.

However, its value is equally significant.

There is no shortage of books on alchemy and recipes for elixirs in Master's home library, but Master is not a cultivator of immortality, so there are not many books related to the cultivation of immortality in his collection.

The Taoist scriptures and alchemy books in Dan Yuanzi's mansion are much purer, and many of the books involve matters related to cultivating immortals.

Although there is no specific method of cultivation, no magical powers, and no fate with immortality, it is a "treasure" to Qiu Zhen.

Various Taoist scriptures and alchemy books not only enable him to learn the orthodox alchemy techniques of the immortals, but also greatly benefit his inner alchemy practice.

"What a pity, there is no other immortal fate."

Qiu Zhen shook his head, feeling excited but also a little regretful.

Obviously, Dan Yuanzi should also have storage treasures.

Apart from treasures like the immortal vine and spiritual roots which are not easy to carry around, and the "fragmented pages of the elixir book" given to his disciple, he must have carried with him all the other immortal arts and external elixir arts.

All the sundries were taken away, and only the bodies of Dan Yuanzi's three disciples were left in the open space in the backyard.

He had already touched the bodies of the three people.

He was very poor. Apart from some silver, he also took out two cloth bags from Dan Yuanzi's second and youngest disciple.

Two cloth bags contain black beans.

One has seventy-two beads, the other has thirty-six beads.

There are runes engraved on the black beans, which emit spiritual light. They are obviously precious beans and spiritual beans used in magical rituals, and are not ordinary items.

"I guess this is the magic bean in the spell [Throwing Beans into Soldiers]."

Qiu Zhen recalled the scene when Dan Yuanzi performed the [Throwing Beans to Turn into Soldiers] and immediately understood what was going on.

This must be the magical weapon that Dan Yuanzi gave to his two disciples to protect them.

Unfortunately, they died under the [Heart Seal] before they had a chance to use it.

Qiu Zhen didn't have the secret of [Throwing Beans to Turn into Soldiers], so the black beans were useless. He took the treasure and his eyes fell on the three people.

In fact, the most valuable treasure of the three people is themselves.

To be precise, it is the foundation-building magical object in the bodies of the three brothers.

For cultivators, the foundation-building artifact is a stepping stone to their cultivation and a boat to cross the sea. Only one is needed, and more are useless.

The third-grade foundation-building item for heaven, earth and man, the higher the grade, the greater the potential.

People who have high-level foundation-building artifacts generally look down on low-level foundation-building artifacts.

But Qiu is really different.

The foundation-building artifact can bless his innate life magic weapon [Tian Yan 49 Divine Pearls], allowing him to further deduce his supernatural powers.

For him, the more foundation-building items he has, the better.

Not to mention, most of the foundation-building artifacts of Yin Shen masters contain sealed "demon generals".

A rare item for building the foundation is a large amount of spiritual essence.

For Qiu Zhen, this time when he looted the old monster Yuanshen's cave, apart from the immortal vine and spiritual roots, the most useful item for building the foundation was the one that was most useful to him.

Qiu Zhenmu carved a thunder talisman, made a gesture and pointed his finger, and the flying talisman turned into three lightning bolts.

"boom!"

There was a flash of lightning.

Immediately afterwards, thunder and fire rolled, burning the three bodies.

Not long after, the three disciples of the Yuanshen old monster Dan Yuanzi turned into a pool of ashes, with not even a trace left.

However, what is surprising is that there are three rays of light above the ashes, spinning and hanging in the air, which looks very magical.

Three spiritual lights gathered into a ball, and there were three objects in the ball of light: a purple grass, a piece of dog-head gold, and a miniature alchemy furnace.

Qiu Zhen glanced at the two rare foundation-building objects, the purple grass and the dog-head gold, without paying much attention to them.

He has four rare foundation-building items in his hands, which means he is knowledgeable and has a good eye.

As soon as he saw these two foundation-building artifacts, he knew at a glance that they were both human quality foundation-building artifacts.

It was the alchemy furnace that attracted his attention.

This alchemy furnace is cast entirely from spiritual copper and stands on three legs. It is engraved with intricate cloud symbols and thunder patterns. It does not look like a real alchemy tool, but more like a ritual vessel used for worship, exquisite and luxurious.

"This is the first time I've seen a man-made foundation-building artifact."

Qiu Zhen stretched out his hand and took the "mini alchemy furnace", held it in his palm, and looked at it carefully, feeling very amazed.

Before this, the "foundation-building wonders" he obtained were two tree hearts, a "withered yellow vine", and a "green magical grass".

Like the "purple grass" and "dog-head gold", it is an ordinary object in the mountains, created by the natural world.

The "alchemy furnace" in front of us is unique. It is the transformation of an old object refined by humans.

Qiu Zhen was surprised, but didn't think much about it and just scanned with his spiritual sense.

The three foundation-building artifacts made a "whoosh" sound, turned into streams of light, and sank into his body.

In the spiritual platform and sea of ​​consciousness, the primordial spirit and Dharma body shone with golden light, and the light of the primordial spirit's wisdom began to refine the "demon general" among the foundation-building artifacts.

Not long after.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, three foundation-building artifacts were quietly suspended in the air.

Beside them, there were three spirit crystals of different sizes.

The small spiritual crystal contains about thirty groups of standard spiritual essence.

There are thirty-six groups of medium spirit crystals.

There are fifty groups of large spirit crystals.

All at once, 116 balls of spiritual essence were obtained.

"Big money."

A look of satisfaction appeared on Qiu Zhen's face.

It has to be said that as a master of "Controlling Qi and Wandering Gods", the demon suppressed by Dan Yuanzi's eldest disciple was very ferocious, and he contributed the most "Spiritual Essence", reaching an astonishing fifty groups.

In order to kill Dan Yuanzi's eldest disciple, he burned thirty balls of spiritual essence to bless the treasure seal, and earned it back in one wave.

These days, the monks of the "Heart Lord Lineage" have been working hard to exorcise evil spirits for him, and he has accumulated a lot of spiritual essence.

In addition, tonight he used flying talismans to "prison and test the evil" on the Taoist children and alchemy apprentices under Dan Yuanzi, giving them a glimmer of hope, and did not kill them all.

Unfortunately, the result disappointed him greatly.

There are more than twenty Taoist children and alchemy apprentices, each of them is full of evil and sins, and many of them are even possessed by evil thoughts. They are the same as Dan Yuanzi and his apprentice.

In the end, all the Taoist children and apprentices died at the hands of the Monkey King, and contributed six spiritual essences to him.

After blessing the treasure seal and watering the "immortal vine spiritual roots", he still had forty balls of spiritual essence left.

He obtained more than one hundred balls of spiritual essence, and the total amount he had in his hands reached an astonishing 156 balls.

“I’ve never been so rich!”

Qiu Zhen smiled.

He was originally worried that watering the immortal vine's spiritual roots would consume too much energy and he would not be able to afford it, which would affect his cultivation.

With the current harvest, he felt relaxed.

After taking inventory of the essence of spiritual energy, Qiu Zhen remembered something and his mind fell on the "alchemy furnace", a magical item for building the foundation.

"Yellow Bud Purple Gold Furnace!"

Qiu Zhen recognized the gold characters on the alchemy furnace, read them out softly, and became interested.

The fifty balls of spiritual essence were obtained from this [Yellow Bud Purple Gold Furnace].

It is not difficult to see that the "alchemy furnace" is the foundation-building item of Dan Yuanzi's eldest disciple, the master of the [Yu Qi You Shen] realm.

Qiu Zhen's spiritual consciousness scanned the surroundings, his primordial spirit and Dharma body emitted a radiant light of wisdom, and he continued to analyze.

After a while, a bit of excitement appeared on his face:
"It seems that its spirituality is much stronger than other foundation-building artifacts. This is a ground-grade foundation-building artifact."

Qiu Zhen showed delight on his face, but he was not surprised in his heart.

Dan Yuanzi's eldest disciple is a top-level Yin God master in the realm of [Yu Qi You Shen]. To be able to achieve such a level of cultivation, his human quality and foundation-building artifacts are not good enough. Only an "earth-grade" foundation-building artifact can suppress the ferocious demon.

nice one!
Qiu was really satisfied.

With one more rare earth-grade foundation-building item, it will surely be easier for him to deduce and attain enlightenment in the future.

"Finally the inventory is complete."

Qiu Zhen couldn't help but stretch his body.

The last time I took stock was when I was an apprentice in a pharmacy.

Although it was hard work, he was very satisfied with the harvest.

Finally I have some wealth.

After taking inventory of all the gains, Qiu Zhen remembered something and finally took out two more items.

The Yin-Yang Five Elements Golden Elixir and a fragment of the elixir book.

"This [Yin Yang Five Elements Golden Pill] and my [Red Emperor Golden Pill] are of the same type of treasure. It is hard to tell which one is better. However, the other party obviously has the corresponding magical power to control the [Golden Pill Incarnation]. With this golden pill, his magical power will be further improved."

Qiu Zhen couldn't help but recall the scene of fighting with the opponent, and became more and more interested in the [Fragments of the Book of Alchemy].

Presumably, there is the secret of the technique in this [fragmented page of the alchemy book].

At that moment, Qiu Zhen became interested and began to refine the old monster's consciousness in the [Remaining Pages of the Alchemy Book].——
The next day.

Qiu Zhen spent the entire night refining the [Fragments of the Alchemy Book].

It’s a pity that the old monster’s spiritual power is very strong and he dare not be too rough, so the progress is touching.

He was not anxious about this.

After the morning meditation session, Qiu Zhen first went to the backyard and watered the roots of the fairy vine with three balls of spiritual essence.

Perhaps it is because it has "taken root" and has been nourished by the essence of spiritual energy. Although it is not as good as the "golden spring" watering and divine light, it is full of vitality as a whole, and can be regarded as a successful "transplant".

Seeing this scene, Qiu Zhen felt relieved.

This will be his exclusive magic weapon from now on, so there can be no mistakes.

After looking at the "Immortal Vine Spirit Root", Qiu Zhen was planning to take a look at Baizhu. At this moment, he might have sensed something and a smile appeared on his face.

The figure flashed.

Soon, he appeared in the backyard of the Qiu family outside the valley.

"Little brother, you're out. It's just right. We have guests at home."

"I know."

Qiu Zhen smiled and walked towards the main room.

The people who came were none other than Uncle Li and Li Xing'er.

"Uncle Li, has Xing'er been found?"

"Yes, I found it."

In the main hall, when Uncle Li saw Qiu Zhen, he originally had a sad face, but now he showed a happy smile:
"Last night, the patrolling warriors found Xing'er. I heard that it was a master who saved Xing'er. It must be the blessing of the Bodhisattva!"

After saying this, Uncle Li grinned:
"As soon as I found Xing'er, I came to Qiu Village and let you know."

Qiu Zhen smiled:
"Just find it. I can't help much."

Uncle Li was an honest man. He was very grateful to Qiu Zhen for mobilizing Yaowang Valley to help find someone, and brought a fat grass carp.

Qiu Zhen rescued Xing'er in order to repay the fate. After the task was done, he left without leaving any credit or fame.

However, at the moment, he was very grateful to Uncle Li.

It wasn't in vain.
