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

The next day, early morning, in the secret valley in the mountains.

To be precise, this valley now had a name, called "Seeking Truth Valley."

A homophone for Qiu Zhen, it also expressed his ambition and his heart for seeking truth and asking questions.

Last night, he practiced "archery" and had a good harvest, shooting down a wild goose and a hare.

Of course, he opened the "Primordial Spirit Avatar" to bless his shots, hitting the mark every time.

Perhaps he was too engrossed in practicing archery, and before he knew it, it was too late, so he simply slept in the valley.

This place has natural "ghost walls" and "illusions", so there is no need to worry about danger.

A few days ago, he built a simple wooden house in the valley, brought bedding, and had a wild settlement.

Subsequently, he plans to build this place into his own "Seeking Truth Villa", where he will hoard food and daily necessities for emergencies.

In the future, if he encounters trouble, he will also have a place to take refuge.

In addition, Qiu Zhen wielded his firewood knife like a whirlwind, tidying up the valley, leaving licorice medicinal bushes and some herbs, and pulling out all the other weeds and vines, throwing them out of the valley, so as not to affect his precious medicinal bushes from absorbing nutrients and sunlight.

In the future, he plans to make use of the five or six acres of open space in the valley.

There is a babbling stream in front of the valley, which is convenient for fetching water for irrigation. This five or six acres of open space is very suitable for cultivating into a medicinal field and planting medicinal seeds.

In the future, this blessed treasure land will be a cornucopia, providing him with a steady stream of spiritual herbs and treasures.

"Ying ying ying ~"

Bai Shu called out, its fox claws dancing.

Qiu Zhen understood the little fox's meaning in seconds. It was still early, and he had just eaten roasted goose for breakfast, so it was a good time to digest.

"Let's go, let's find spiritual herbs and treasures."

After busying for an hour, he still gained nothing.

Over the past few days, one person and one fox had searched all over the valley of "Seeking Truth Villa" for several miles, but they hadn't even seen the hair of a spiritual herb or treasure.

Qiu Zhen originally wanted to go deeper, but the little fox stopped him.

It said that it was not familiar with the outside, and it was easy to encounter powerful ferocious beasts and monsters. It ran fast, so it didn't matter. It volunteered to find treasures by itself.

Qiu Zhen pondered for a moment and followed his advice.

He has not yet become a "Martial Master", and his own martial power and protective Taoist techniques are not proficient. It is a very risky behavior to go too deep into the wilderness.

It is only because the area around "Seeking Truth Valley" is the territory of his little fox that the danger is not great, so he frequently moves around.

He cultivates step by step, and he will be able to become a Martial Master in three months. It will not be too late to go into the mountains to find treasures at that time, so there is no need to rush.

Next, Qiu Zhen's life became regular and fulfilling.

In the evening and early morning, he would meditate and practice martial arts in the "Sunny Courtyard" or "Seeking Truth Villa", sleep, and practice archery.

During the day, he would go to the small courtyard in the east of Qingmu City to work, processing the medicinal materials arranged by the An family.

If he had free time while working, he would plunge into the study and browse medical books.

In the first few days, Kang Yaoming, Liu Chun, and Li Kui, whether they were willing or not, were patient and went with Qiu Zhen to read books, never forgetting the legendary "divine skills", "secrets", and "opportunities".

After four or five days, the three of them finished reading the miscellaneous books in the house, leaving only hundreds of thousands of volumes of medical books. One by one, they lost interest and never stepped into the study again.

It was also because the "opportunity dream" and "divine skill dream" were shattered that the three people's emotions seemed very low.

They were really here to work.

Although they were "pharmacy apprentices", they had the care of their "adults" at home in the Qingmu Pharmacy, and they did not do much work on weekdays.

Now, coming to work for the An family was real work, and there was no way to be lazy. Although they were paid more, they felt more and more painful, more and more irritable, and couldn't wait to go back sooner.

However, their elders did not agree.

This made them very painful and depressed.

It was only Qian Youcai and Qiu Zhen who enjoyed it.

Qian Youcai was happy to earn more copper coins, while Qiu Zhen was completely immersed in the room full of medical books.

Although he did not find any Taoist medical secrets similar to the [Divine Light Diagnosis Method] in the medical books, the knowledge in the medical books alone benefited him a lot.

In this way, in almost a month, he read all the medical books in the house, digested and absorbed them, ten days earlier than expected.

The reason why it was so fast was not that his "Primordial Spirit Avatar" had transformed and his learning ability had improved, but that "all the articles in the world are plagiarized".

In these thousands of volumes of medical books, much of the content is repeated.

Although there are different statements, the essence is almost the same. Even without the blessing of the "Primordial Spirit Avatar", he can guess the subsequent content with a glance.

In just one month, Qiu Zhen's progress in medicine was rapid.

In terms of the basic theory of medicine alone, he has become a master of medicine.

He has learned the [Divine Light Diagnosis Method]. As long as the clinical practice keeps up, he will soon be able to become a powerful doctor.

If he were placed in his hometown, he would be a "miracle doctor" with a great reputation in the surrounding villages.

Compared with the Qingmu Pharmacy, the An family's pharmaceutical workshop often has little work to do, and there is a lot of free time.

Next, without the medical books in the study, Qiu Zhen's working days in the An family's pharmaceutical courtyard also became boring.

Qiu Zhen sat in his room, internally observing the Lingtai, and the Primordial Spirit Avatar deduced.

"The first level of the Medicine King Five Animal Play is expected to be completed in 56 days."

Qiu Zhen shook his head and sighed in his heart.

He has not found a single spiritual herb or treasure for a whole month. If he cultivates step by step, he will need nearly two months to become a Martial Master.

"Brother Zhen, come out to practice martial arts. Someone from the An family will come to pay wages today. We can't be too lazy."

"Coming."

Qiu Zhen jumped off the bed and went straight out the door.

Kang Yaoming, who had just called out, smiled at Qiu Zhen and said:

"Brother Zhen, we're getting paid today. Do you want to go out and have fun together? The three of us will treat."

Liu Chun and Li Kui nodded, agreeing with Kang Yaoming's proposal.

Obviously, the three had communicated in advance.

At first, the three of them were somewhat hostile to Qiu Zhen, fearing that he was too smart, standing out from the crowd, and stealing their opportunities, but after staying for a month, they realized that there was nothing good at all, and they were purely here to work.

As a result, the three people's mentality changed.

Originally, they were very approving of Qiu Zhen's concoction skills, and Qiu Zhen would also give them pointers on concocting medicinal materials on weekdays.

The three boys were all teenagers, with no sophistication or scheming. After going back and forth, the relationship was not bad.

"Okay, I have more wages, I'll treat you, Youcai will go too."

Qiu Zhen beckoned to the neglected and somewhat timid Qian Youcai, and said with a smile:

"Anything is fine to play, just don't do anything unnecessary. You guys just went out to have fun a few days ago. For martial arts practitioners, frequent leakage of Yang essence is a big taboo."

Kang, Liu, and Li's faces turned red.

"Brother Zhen, your eyesight is really sharp."

"Hehe ~ Do you think I read medical books for nothing!"

Qiu Zhen guessed that the three of them were skeptical about his study of medicine a month ago, and now that he found an opportunity, he would naturally not let it go, and immediately wanted to continue teasing the three of them.

It was at this moment that his expression changed slightly.

The reason was that he heard a vague call from the Lingtai in his eyebrows.

"It's Bai Shu calling me. She seems quite excited. Could it be that she found a spiritual herb or treasure?"

Qiu Zhen's heart fluttered, extremely excited, and he said to the four of them:

"I suddenly remembered that there is something going on at home, so I will go back first today. Help me ask the An family for leave, and I will treat everyone tomorrow, so don't leave."

After saying that, Qiu Zhen left without looking back, skipping work.

Kang Yaoming, Liu Chun, and the other four looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
