Chapter 30: Qingwei Dan Jue
The little monk died, and only his ashes were left under the raging fire.
Uncle Li and the other fishermen felt very sad and unhappy.
That night, risking a visit from ghosts, they buried the ashes of the young monk Kongyin.
Qiu Zhen also participated in it and was busy until late at night, and then the group returned.
"Uncle Li, you better not go fishing these days. You can't guarantee that the evil cultivator will come back someday."
Farmers in the countryside have never relied solely on farming for a living, but have taken up various side jobs to generate income and supplement their family income. Not going fishing for a few days does not affect them much.
Uncle Li and the other fishermen nodded repeatedly.
Qiu Zhen also warned:
"Go to the government office early tomorrow morning to report to the authorities. With the authorities stepping in, the evil cultivator will probably not dare to take action later. But don't mention the monk. The authorities have a lot of ill will towards cultivators."
Uncle Li and the other fishermen nodded in unison:
"We know what is good and what is bad. The master is a compassionate monk, not an evil practitioner."
A night passed and it was early morning.
"It is said that in the highest heaven of the universe, there is a temple called Miro Palace."
Qiu Zhen muttered to himself.
Miluo Palace is a celestial palace in mythology, located at the highest point in the sky, where the Jade Emperor ruled the heavens.
"The name of this jade token is very domineering, and it has a sense of supremacy."
Qiu Zhen felt a little expectant but also a little helpless.
Monk Kongyin gave him this treasure when he was dying, and from his words, it seemed to contain some kind of immortal secret or method for cultivating immortality.
Unfortunately, before the monk could explain the usage of the token, the man left.
He tried it all night.
What is blood dripping to recognize the master, what is the return of light and concentration, and the blessing of the soul
I have tried every possible method.
Got nothing.
Qiu Zhen felt very sorry, but he was not in a hurry.
Anyway, the treasure is in my hands and there will always be a way to crack it.
Without delay, he went straight to Aoki Pharmacy.
After gaining enough experience to become a martial artist, Qiu Zhen's status and position in Qingmu Pharmacy changed dramatically.
From then on, he shed his identity as an "apprentice" and became a real disciple of Yaowang Valley.
He became a disciple of Pharmacist An, and instead of going to the gate of Yaowang Valley, he stayed in Qingmu Pharmacy and served as a "worshipping martial artist", which was on the same level as "Manager Kang", except that he did not take charge of the affairs.
Without having to do heavy work, you can get a monthly salary of ten taels of silver starting from scratch.
His only job is to safeguard the interests of "Qingmu Pharmacy", inspect the medicine fields, and defend the interests of the medicine shop when necessary, similar to the role of "Honghua Shuanggun".
As soon as he entered the pharmacy, he clearly felt something was different. Wherever he went, he was greeted with greetings.
"Brother Zhen! Brother Zhen!"
Shen Liang and Zhao Dou welcomed him in warmly, looking very proud of themselves.
The rest of the apprentices looked at him with awe, envy, and a bit of well-concealed jealousy, and so on.
"Qiu Zhen, you are here."
Shopkeeper Liu greeted Qiu Zhen with a smile:
"Yes, you succeeded in just three days. You are really promising."
"Thanks to the shopkeeper's care, I am where I am today."
"Hahaha~"
Shopkeeper Liu laughed out loud, feeling very happy:
"Your wild boar king is in your backyard. What are you going to do with it? Do you want to sell it?"
Qiu Zhen pondered for a while and said:
"Boss, becoming a martial artist is a great joy in my life. I am so happy today. I killed the wild boar king and prepared a whole pig feast for the brothers in the medicine shop."
The meat of the ferocious wild boar king is very valuable and can be sold for at least a hundred taels of silver.
However, he was not stingy. After becoming a martial artist, he had a steady stream of money whether he was searching for treasures or hunting ferocious beasts. His life would definitely not be as tight as before.
"light and spacious!"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded repeatedly, feeling very satisfied that this boy knew how to behave.
"It's just that you don't need that much pork. Half a fan will be enough."
As they were talking, Shopkeeper Liu went over with a smile to make the arrangements.
Perhaps the news of the "whole pig banquet" spread, and the whole Qingmu Medicine Store suddenly became lively. As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food should be grateful.
Qiu Zhen already had a good reputation in Qingmu Pharmacy, and after the "Whole Pig Banquet", most people liked him even more.
After entertaining everyone at Qingmu Pharmacy, there was still half a pig left. Manager Liu gave him sixty taels of silver at a discount and said he could help him sell it.
This price was considered quite fair, Qiu Zhen nodded in agreement, but he would only sell it half, for thirty taels of silver.
Qiu Zhen divided the remaining half of pork into two portions.
The large portion was sent to the An family, and the small portion was sent separately to Manager An.
Although the other person doesn't need it, he couldn't help but give it to him as a token of his thoughtfulness.
"You have a heart."
In a side courtyard of the An family, Ankang took the pork sent by Qiu Zhen and was in a very good mood.
With his strength as a congenital martial artist, some ferocious beast meat was nothing, but since Qiu really had this intention, he felt that he was not taking care of the wrong person.
"Have you encountered any problems in your martial arts training?"
"It's not a big problem. I've been practicing standing meditation hard and my strength has increased significantly."
Qiu Zhen smiled:
"I want to go and see the gentleman's collection of books."
“You are a book lover.”
Ankang laughed and led the way immediately.
Soon, the two arrived in front of a three-story building.
"You can go in. The young master's family hasn't arrived yet. There are not many people inside. It's quiet and suitable for reading."
Ankang spoke to the guard in charge of the library and got a wooden sign for him.
From then on, he could enter and leave the An family library freely with the wooden sign.
"Thank you, Manager An!"
Qiu Zhen thanked Ankang and walked straight into the library.
The library covers a very large area and is extremely spacious. It is divided into three floors, and each floor has rows of bookshelves filled with a vast number of books.
"Good place!"
Qiu Zhen was a book lover, and he was delighted when he saw this scene.
Immediately, he stepped into the library and wandered around, intending to take a quick look at the book categories for later browsing.
However, just as he was strolling around, he suddenly felt something, a burning sensation in his chest.
"This is."
Qiu Zhen was slightly stunned and reached into his arms. Soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It was none other than the jade plaque with the words "Miro Palace" that appeared.
I don't know what triggered it.
Qiu Zhen said nothing and focused his mind on the jade talisman in his arms.
The next moment, he realized something.
Without saying a word, he walked towards somewhere in the library.
Soon, as if he had some inspiration, he picked up a book and started reading.
Immediately afterwards, endless golden light bloomed in his mind.
A towering and ethereal fairy palace appeared before him.
On the plaque of the fairy palace are inscribed four large golden characters "Miluo Heavenly Palace".
Is he the immortal that Monk Kongyin mentioned?
Qiu Zhen was delighted and looked down subconsciously.
I saw a flash of light coming from the scroll in his hand.
The next moment, countless pieces of information appeared in his mind.
"Qingwei Dan Jue"
Qiu Zhen felt something and his eyes lit up.
This is the way to cultivate immortality!!!
Thanks to "冰中无泪" for the 1211 starting coins, and "云间飞虹" for the 300 starting coins.
