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

Qingmu County Yamen, inner residence.

The County Yamen uses the main hall and the second hall as offices for the County Magistrate to exercise his power, forming the front yamen.

Behind the second hall is the inner residence, where the county official conducts official business, lives, and his family resides, forming a pattern of the front yamen and the rear residence.

The newly built Qingmu County Yamen is no exception.

In the inner residence courtyard, a pond glistens, with several colorful koi swimming and playing, creating slight ripples.

Surrounding it are corridors, with carved beams and painted pillars.

A woman in a goose-yellow flowing fairy dress sits by the railing, her eyebrows like emerald feathers, slightly raised, her eyes bright, revealing wisdom and strength, her face like peach blossoms, but not in a delicate or charming way. Her exquisite features have both the softness of a woman and the heroic spirit that does not yield to men. Her radiant gaze shines brightly. Her dark, thick hair is tied up, clean and neat, adding to her飒爽 (sa shuang - smart and heroic) demeanor.

Liu Wanqiu absentmindedly scatters fish food, muttering to herself.

"Damn Qingwei, why did you bring this up for no reason, making me anxious again."

A few worries appear between her brows.

When she was talking in the [Miro Palace] just now, she didn't complain much, but in fact, this matter has long been a major knot in her heart.

For the men in the family, if they can't become "Innate Martial Masters", at most they will gradually not be valued by their elders, be marginalized by the family, and become increasingly inconspicuous. For "cultivation", it is a good thing, allowing them to practice in peace without being disturbed.

But women are different.

If they can become "Innate Martial Masters", they will be extraordinary, transcending worldly rules. She is wholeheartedly devoted to martial arts, and her family will not stop her, but will be happy to see it and fully support her.

After all, martial arts masters above the "Innate Martial Master" level are the foundation of the family, and marrying them off to another family is a great loss.

But if they can't become "Innate Martial Masters", then they have to talk about marriage and have children as soon as possible.

A girl in her twenties who has not yet married is already considered an old maid in the eyes of the world.

Her pressure is not insignificant.

"Miss!"

Just as Liu Wanqiu was feeling emotional, a maiden dressed as a maidservant ran over from the corridor in a hurry, her tone anxious:

"People from the family are here again, urging us to go back."

Liu Wanqiu raised her eyebrows:

"Where are they?"

"The young master sent them away."

Liu Wanqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate in her heart.

The person who loves her the most in the family is her own elder brother.

The elder brother, Liu Zhongchang, has extremely high talent, both civil and military, and is the leading figure of this generation of the family. He has a status that exceeds his peers and can talk to the elders in the family face to face to discuss matters.

Over the years, if it weren't for her elder brother protecting her, the family would have already planned to marry her off.

"It's still my elder brother who cares about me."

"Miss, the young master passed on a message saying that the Miss should carefully consider it and not be willful. The family's opinions are getting bigger and bigger, and it is not easy for him to protect you."

"I know."

Liu Wanqiu waved her hand, and the slight hesitation in her heart disappeared, secretly determined.

"The immortal opportunity is hard to find, I will break into the dragon's pool and tiger's den."

An Mansion, side courtyard, practice room.

Qiu Zhen put away the [Demon Ape Suppressing the World Diagram] bestowed by Alchemist An.

In fact, with his comprehension talent, after comprehending for half a quarter of an hour, he thoroughly understood the [Demon Ape Suppressing the World Diagram] and basically mastered the method of attracting evil into the body and tempering the flesh.

It's just a pity that his ambition is not in martial arts.

Just now, he put all his effort into comprehending the [Summoning Divine General Technique] taught by Fairy Yunrou.

"Using my Yuanming Divine to summon that non-existent Divine, using my own Qi to combine with that non-existent Qi, coupled with the steps of the Big Dipper and the secret mantra spirit talisman, using thunder in the palm, encompassing the heaven and earth in the body"

Qiu Zhen murmured to himself, experiencing the wonderful secrets in the method.

The key to the Summoning Divine General Technique, the altar for performing the ritual, lies in using the mind to mobilize one's own essence, Qi, and spirit to sense the outer god, summon and mix them, and refine them into a "Divine General".

Refining a general, or rather "Refining a god", the key lies in "Outer God Induction".

As Fairy Yunrou said, without the "Fa Lu" granted by the legendary Heavenly Court, it is impossible to achieve "Outer God Induction" and unable to summon and refine a general.

"The path really doesn't work."

Qiu Zhen shook his head, feeling quite regretful in his heart, put away the [Demon Ape Suppressing the World Diagram], returned this thing to An Kang, and soon left An Mansion.

Just now, Fairy Yunrou suggested going out to adventure and going deep into the mountains to find immortal opportunities, but he did not agree and politely declined the proposal.

With the Yuan Shen Dharma Body, his current cultivation basically has no bottlenecks. He can complete the [Refining Essence into Qi] stage of cultivation smoothly in twenty years without deliberately taking risks to seek immortal opportunities.

Even if he gets an immortal opportunity after nine deaths and one life, at most he will have a little more magic spells and supernatural powers, and his cultivation and mana will be improved a little, which is not worth the risk.

Life is only one, and steady cultivation is the right way.

Qiu Zhen left An Mansion and went straight to the Demon Suppression Division.

Today is the day he agreed to go to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil.

Compared with going to the mountains to venture and find immortal opportunities, the Demon Suppression Division exorcises evil, and there are not many demonic thoughts encountered, but it is better to be a long-term thing without any danger.

"Drive!"

Qiu Zhen skillfully rode his horse to the Demon Suppression Division. A groom led his horse to feed it grass, and he went straight to the yamen inside.

Along the way, the Demon Suppression Division martial artists and civil officials greeted him one after another.

As a "demon, demon, and evil spirit", he returned to the Demon Suppression Division as easily and naturally as returning home.

As soon as he arrived at the backyard of the Demon Suppression Division, Qiu Zhen was slightly surprised.

I saw a group of people with weak breath, some leaning on the railing, some squatting on the ground, full of people, and a rough look, there were hundreds of people.

"Doctor Qiu, you have finally come."

Demon Suppression Captain Wu Chuanfeng saw Qiu Zhen and his eyes lit up.

"Captain Wu, what happened?"

"There was a demonic disaster, and many people were infected with the evil demonic Qi. I still have to trouble Doctor Qiu to exorcise evil."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly.

Speaking of which, this year he came to the Demon Suppression Division for treatment. In addition to exorcising evil for the Demon Suppression martial artists, he also occasionally treated people. If the Demon Suppression Division had people who were infected with the evil demonic Qi in the "demon, demon, and evil spirit case", he would also take action to save them. Basically, if they asked him, he would not refuse.

Speaking of which, the Demon Suppression Division is also considered kind. After knowing the situation, they gave an extra annual fee.

After a year, it is almost one thousand taels of silver.

Qiu Zhen, as an exorcism expert, didn't say much, found a clean clinic, and began to exorcise evil.

At first, he didn't care, just thinking it was an ordinary exorcism.

But soon, not only him, but even Little Jujube, who had turned into a "wooden needle", noticed the strangeness.

"Young master, today's exorcism, why are there so many demonic thoughts."

"As Fairy Yunrou said, it is not peaceful again. Behind the immortal opportunity, there must be a demonic disaster."

Qiu Zhen held the "wooden needle" made of small wood essence, and was also very surprised in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, if it is an ordinary person infected with "evil demonic Qi", he uses ordinary silver needles to exorcise evil, and if he has "demonic thoughts", he lets the "thunderstruck sacred wood needle" made of small wood essence act as a cover to collect "demonic thoughts".

In the eyes of outsiders, the thunderstruck sacred wood needle refines "demonic thoughts", but in fact, he takes away the demonic thoughts.

This is his biggest motivation for coming to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil.

What money or not, it doesn't matter.

On weekdays, Qiu Zhen can occasionally harvest a few demonic thoughts, but today he encountered evil.

Exorcising evil for six people, three of them have "demonic thoughts".

The proportion is so high that it is staggering.

It is even worse than when the demonic disaster broke out last year and the victims poured in.

One demonic thought can save at least ten or twenty days of hard work, and at most forty or fifty days.

Accumulate a few more demonic thoughts, and his Taoist cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

He needs six years to complete the [Night Wanderer] realm, but if he keeps refining demons and collecting "spiritual essence", he will not need six years at all.

"Good fellow, this is going to be a fortune."

Qiu Zhen couldn't help but mutter in his heart, rejoicing that he did not agree to Fairy Yunrou to go deep into the mountains to find immortal opportunities.

What kind of immortal opportunity can compare to this.

PS: The first order is over two thousand, and the boutique is promising, and the results are okay.

There will be another chapter in the afternoon
