In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Furthermore, under Bai Suzhen's guidance, Xiaoqing once again transformed into human form.

However, this time it wasn't the androgynous, otherworldly appearance, but rather a slender, graceful, and breathtakingly beautiful fairy, only a little younger than Bai Suzhen.

One is a mature woman, the other a young girl; both are strikingly beautiful.

"Thank you so much, Sister Xiaoqing!"

At this moment, Xiaoqing was certain that the other party was her benefactor.

Bai Suzhen's strength was not only unfathomable, but the shared aura between them made her realize that Bai Suzhen was not a dragon at all, but a snake demon.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for her to receive guidance, and she is also following the path of immortality.

Chapter 930 A Good Fate? A Bad Fate?

"Bai Suzhen!"

The news of the Demon Suppression Division's failure naturally did not escape Zhang Xiaoshan's notice.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan knew that the so-called manifestation of the white dragon was nothing more than Bai Suzhen's doing.

In the wind and rain, snakes and dragons are about the same size, so it is naturally very difficult to tell whether a fleeting white shadow is a dragon or a snake.

Moreover, the dragons' arrogance makes it impossible for them to save those lesser demons.

Thinking this, Zhang Xiaoshan had already arrived at the Kunlun Pharmacy in Qiantang Prefecture.

At this time, Kunlun Pharmacy stood proudly in Qiantang, becoming the largest pharmacy in the vicinity, and had also forced most other pharmacies to close down due to internal competition.

Even the Three Sovereigns Ancestors Association is in grave danger.

Inexpensive herbs, free miracle cures, and even the doctors practicing in the pharmacies are all renowned physicians.

Moreover, the pharmacy does not restrict the qualifications or aptitude of its apprentices.

As long as any apprentice wants to learn traditional Chinese medicine, those famous doctors will impart all their knowledge to them; this is a rule established by Zhang Xiaoshan.

After all, a Chinese medicine apprentice is not like a servant in a merchant guild; he needs a certain amount of knowledge and intelligence, and not just any homeless orphan can become an apprentice.

Even a slight error in dispensing medicine can turn a life-saving remedy into a deadly poison.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan directly lowered the threshold, preparing to train a large number of TCM disciples, and then expand Kunlun Pharmacy.

"Young master, is there anything you need... This old man pays his respects to my master!"

The pharmacy manager, who was about to approach Zhang Xiaoshan to inquire about his elegant attire and extraordinary bearing, suddenly noticed the talisman that Zhang Xiaoshan had taken out.

This was indeed the token of Kunlun Pharmacy, and the shopkeeper had no doubts.

Because of Kunlun Pharmacy's operating system, it's not profitable to begin with, so even if you impersonate the owner, you can't get much benefit from him.

On the contrary, if it is discovered that Kunlun Pharmacy is impersonating its owner, the consequences are predictable.

Even a prince couldn't withstand the retaliation from his master.

That was a direct disciple of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, a top expert in the sect who slayed demons and monsters.

"No need for formalities, old shopkeeper. I'm here today because I need you to take care of something."

"What are your orders, Master?"

Zhang Xiaoshan did this to avoid Xu Xian's tragedy, and also to sow good seeds and reap good fruit.

"Does the pharmacy have an apprentice named Xu Hanwen or Xu Xian? Or perhaps at another pharmacy? Go and inquire."

"Xu Hanwen?"

I know that there is no such person among the apprentices at Kunlun Pharmacy. As for the other pharmacies...

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be right back."

Inquiring about someone?

Moreover, being a traditional Chinese medicine apprentice was not a difficult task for the shopkeeper.

Due to the internal competition within Kunlun Pharmacy, only a few pharmacies in Qiantang Prefecture were struggling to survive, barely making ends meet by relying on their previous connections.

The shopkeeper returned shortly after leaving, his brow unfurrowed, clearly having received news.

"Master, I've found out that Xu Hanwen is an apprentice at Jishetang Pharmacy."

I just sent someone to inform him that he's coming, and Doctor Liu from Jishetang will probably be coming too.

"It's alright, it's not something shameful."

Originally, I planned to wipe out all the demons at once, but this time the demons were a bit special. I didn't expect that they had a karmic connection with the human world, and it was a good one at that.

If not handled properly, Qiantang will face a major disaster, which is not what I want to see.

"Is Xu Hanwen connected to demons?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately looked terrified.

But Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head. When it comes to demons, ordinary people would avoid it like the plague, so it's normal for them to be worried.

The doctor Liu from Jishetang, whom the shopkeeper had mentioned, arrived very soon.

They were both wearing long gowns, one in brocade silk and the other in coarse linen.

At this moment, when Doctor Liu entered, the first thing he saw was Zhang Xiaoshan next to the shopkeeper. His eyes flickered and his expression was excited.

The shopkeeper just said that the owner of Kunlun Pharmacy had summoned them.

In just three short years, Kunlun Pharmacy had covered major cities within the territory of Dali, and even extended to other countries such as Tang, Zhou, and Qian.

This shows just how powerful Kunlun Pharmacy is.

Moreover, Kunlun Pharmacy truly helps people and saves lives. Not only are its medicinal materials inexpensive, almost at cost price, but it also has various special medicines. This is what dealt a fatal blow to all the other pharmacies.

"Liu Shiqi of Jishetang greets the Immortal Master!"

"Xu Hanwen greets the Immortal Master!"

With the help of his sister and brother-in-law, Xu Hanwen lived a simple life, but he was certainly well-fed and clothed.

These days, yamen runners may not have high social status, but they are definitely lucrative!

Furthermore, when Kunlun Pharmacy opened, Xu Xian had already become a disciple of Jishetang, so it was impossible for him to betray his master and ancestors by joining Kunlun Pharmacy.

However, Xu Xian deeply admired Kunlun Pharmacy's spirit of saving the world and helping people.

Although it has only been two years, Kunlun Pharmacy has already saved countless patients with terminal illnesses, and the medicines are cheap, and famous doctors provide free consultations.

Today, he finally met the owner of Kunlun Pharmacy.

Legend has it that he was an immortal from Mount Kunlun.

"There's no need for such formalities, gentlemen. I've come today for the sake of Mr. Xu's good karma."

"I?"

While Xu Xian was bewildered, Doctor Liu looked surprised, never expecting that Xu Xian had a good relationship with the legendary immortal.

"Indeed, Mr. Xu need not be surprised."

This virtuous act was performed by the layperson 1,800 years ago. Now, after countless reincarnations, it is time for that virtuous act to come to fruition.

A karmic connection from 1,800 years ago?

Not only Xu Xian, but also the shopkeeper and Doctor Liu who were present were stunned.

A hundred years of life, and all that remains is a mound of yellow earth.

Moreover, 1,800 years ago is such a long time ago.

"Master, do you still not understand the Chinese characters?"

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable!"

Eighteen hundred years ago, when he was a shepherd boy, Xu Jushi saved a white snake from a snake catcher. This was the cause of his good karma.

This white snake was quite fortunate; after cultivating in Qingcheng Mountain for a thousand years, it unexpectedly became a disciple of the Old Mother of Lishan.

Now, the white snake has cultivated for another eight hundred years and is about to become an immortal, but the karma in the human world is not yet settled, so she wants to find the reincarnation of the shepherd boy from back then to repay the life-saving grace.

"Does this make sense, Layman Xu?"

Hiss...

Xu Xian was shocked; was he still a king?

Moreover, the shopkeeper and Doctor Liu were jealous of themselves for not being the shepherd boy they were back then.

This is a debt of gratitude that nearly a thousand demons have come to repay, and it is a debt of gratitude that has saved their lives, which shows how great the benefit is.

"Hanwen understands a little, but Hanwen is just Hanwen, not the shepherd boy of yesteryear. How could he dare to accept the gratitude of any immortal?"

"Hehehe, what a kind and innocent person."

If it were merely to repay a debt of gratitude, I wouldn't have deliberately come to find you, since this is a virtuous act by you, and I have no reason to obstruct it.

But what was meant to be a good turn turned into a bad one; what was meant to be a blessing in disguise became a calamity.

The Taoist priest foresaw that the white snake had come to repay a debt of gratitude, which was a good thing, but it led to a tragic entanglement between the snake and the layman.

A love between a human and a demon is intolerable to heaven and earth!

Moreover, the snake catcher from back then has now been reincarnated as a human, and a highly powerful monk at that. Therefore, if this situation is allowed to continue, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe and bring immense disaster to humanity!

what?

Xu Xian looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief. Was he going to bring a catastrophe to the world?

At this point, the shopkeeper understood what Zhang Xiaoshan meant by the Qiantang calamity. He hadn't expected it to be a snake demon repaying a debt of gratitude, ultimately turning a good deed into a tragic one.

And a love affair between a human and a demon?

This Xu Xian is really daring; he even dared to sleep with a snake demon.

Chapter 931 Xu Xian Reaches the Pinnacle of Life

"Please enlighten me, Immortal Master!"

At this moment, Xu Xian also learned the reason and understood that this was the White Snake repaying her kindness, a good deed.

But a love story between a human and a demon?

Putting aside the love he was deeply involved in, from the perspective of an outsider at this time, Xu Xian also did not support the relationship between a human and a demon.

Therefore, what was originally a good thing turned into a massive calamity for humanity because of the love between a human and a demon.

For a moment, Xu Xian also felt somewhat resistant to this scene of repaying a debt of gratitude.

The thought of the White Snake, who had cultivated for a thousand years, becoming his wife sent chills down Xu Xian's spine.

After all, Xu Xian died of fright because he saw Bai Suzhen's true form.

"Bai Suzhen is a disciple of the Old Mother of Lishan, and a true cultivator of Taoism!"

Otherwise, I would not interfere in your affairs, but instead use the means to slay demons and eliminate evil.

This was originally a case of good karma and good outcome, but unfortunately, besides the White Snake from back then, the snake catcher was also reincarnated and attained enlightenment. All these causes and effects led to this karmic entanglement in this life.

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan raised his hand and took out a jade pendant.

This is a piece of Kunlun spiritual jade, which is both the essence of Kunlun jade and a token of the direct lineage of Kunlun disciples.

At this time, the spirit jade had already been strengthened by Zhang Xiaoshan with 500,000 merits, and nurtured by pure yang magic power. It could be said to ward off all evil and bring abundant blessings.

Most importantly, good deeds and good fortune can avert disasters.

Even though he has now put a lock on Xu Xian's heart, the calamities of heaven cannot be resolved simply by him opening his mouth.

Therefore, wearing this jade pendant might help him avoid this calamity and keep Xu Xian in a clear-headed state.

"This is the essence of Kunyu, and also a token of the direct lineage of the Kunlun Daoist sect."

Over the years, this keepsake has been nurtured by my magical power and has long since become a talisman. It not only has the power to ward off evil and protect you, but the merits it carries can also bring you smooth sailing and success in your career.

Today I will present this chalcedony to the layperson and allow the layperson to learn from the old shopkeeper.

Within five years, the layman should be able to take over the position of manager of Kunlun Pharmacy.

Although Kunlun Pharmacy sells inexpensive medicines and even offers free consultations, the treatment it provides is quite generous.
