Chapter 57: Mountain God Fate (Please vote and read)
As the night deepens, a bright moon shines over the hills.
It was too late, and Qiu Zhen was not in a hurry to go to Qingmu An Mansion to meet Pharmacist An, as it would be too presumptuous.
There’s no rush to go tomorrow.
Furthermore, the area around Qiuzhen Valley is, after all, a desolate wilderness, with ferocious beasts appearing from time to time at night. He had to stay here to avoid any accidents.
Qiu Zhen did not rest either. He used local materials, cut down trees, and built a house at the entrance of "Qiuzhen Valley" as his ancestral home.
It not only determines the family Feng Shui, but also serves the purpose of concealing the true identity of the people and covering up the precious land.
Speaking of which, after becoming a Yin God and possessing divine consciousness, he was able to initially master the "eye-catching tricks" of the treasure land.
After the modification, ordinary villagers who break in will be led out by the illusion array after turning around.
In the future, as his cultivation level improves and he has the ability to gather Qi and spirit, the method of concealing this blessed land will become more and more magical, without anyone knowing.
The land nourishes people, and people also nourish the land.
After a busy period of work, Qiu Zhen defined the basic framework of the homestead and stopped there. He then asked craftsmen to build a house for him.
At night, there is a cool breeze.
Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged on a big tree at the top of the "Qiuzhen Valley", looking at the brightly lit and bustling scene below the mountain. He felt bored at the moment and casually took out the [Miro Palace] jade token from his arms.
He was busy with many things during the day and had no time to comprehend the opportunity to become an immortal. Now, he finally settled down.
"Guo Wenju's Magical Art of Taming Beasts"
This magic method is divided into two parts, one is the "technique" method, the other is the "Tao" method.
The Tao is quite mysterious.
Just as Immortal Guo said when he played to the emperor, the way to tame animals is like governing the people of the world, "If you caress me, I will be your follower; if you abuse me, I will be your enemy." If you have a pure heart, the beasts will also respond with a pure heart. What matters is a "pure heart" and a "natural heart."
In terms of magic, the magic taught by Master Guo is much more practical and reliable. It does not talk about empty theories, but is a complete set of specific methods.
From the art of judging animals to the methods of taming, training and driving. The scope is extremely wide and varied, and the knowledge is as vast as the ocean, which is dazzling.
"What a wonderful beast taming technique."
Qiu Zhen browsed it carefully and was more shocked the more he read.
This method was even more amazing than he had imagined. With this magical method, one could establish a sect and create a sect that specialized in animal taming.
"If Fellow Daoist Yun Rou knew the mystery of this method, I'm afraid he would regret it so much."
Qiu Zhen joked to himself, and immediately immersed his mind in comprehending the profound and extensive animal taming method.
The night passed.
Most of the adult men in Qiujia Village worked all night long and did not rest even in the early morning. They were still busy building their own thatched houses so that their families could have a place to live as soon as possible.
Early in the morning, the eldest brother Qiu Qing brought Qiu's father and mother to the "Qiuzhen Valley" to meet with the Qiu family.
The scene was very lively.
A group of clansmen "saved the country in a roundabout way" and surrounded Mr. and Mrs. Qiu to flatter them, making them feel a little flattered.
Qiu Zhen smiled and said nothing more. He informed the old clan leader and the clan elder and planned to go into the city.
"Xiao Zhen, why don't you go later? You can't ask someone for a favor without showing your appreciation. Our village can collect some money and you can take it with you."
As Patriarch Qiu spoke, he began to take stock:
"Our village is poor and we can't get a lot of money together. Hundreds of families have to pool a few thousand eight hundred taels of silver."
"Okay, old patriarch, just scrape together some money to do the work."
Qiu Zhen shook his head and said:
"This amount of money is not enough for the person I'm asking for help. If I give it to him, I'll offend him."
Asking someone to do something for you is a very particular matter.
Pharmacist An comes from a wealthy and aristocratic family and has great strength himself. He has the innate martial artist An Kang at his side. It is ignorant and humiliating to give such a person a small amount of money to ask for a favor.
Not only did he fail to accomplish his goal, but he also greatly offended Master An.
Pharmacist An probably wouldn't be interested in anything Qiu Zhen could offer right now, so he might as well not give anything as a gift and go directly to Pharmacist An to ask for help and see what he would say.
In order to keep the "blessed land", it is acceptable for him to pay the An family some price that he can promise.
He whipped the horse and soon returned to the city. Qiu Zhen returned the borrowed horse to the pharmacy and went straight to An Kang'an, the chief steward, to explain his purpose.
Ankang was quite concerned about Qiu Zhen. Hearing Qiu Zhen's intention, he was not surprised at all and said with a smile:
"It just so happens that the young master wants to see you too."
Sir, you want to see me?
Qiu Zhen was a little surprised.
Speaking of which, he had only met Master An a few times after he became his disciple. The other party was really like the legendary hermit master, immersed in martial arts and indifferent to worldly affairs.
Chunxi Hall of An Mansion.
"Meet sir."
An Jishi was dressed in white and sat on the main seat. After looking Qiu Zhen up and down, he said calmly:
"Xiao Zhen, give me your hand."
Qiu Zhen was a little dazed. He was not sick, so why did he need to take his pulse?
After a moment of astonishment, he did not panic. With the last breath of life these days, his soul and body became stronger and stronger. He had a good control over his body. As long as he did not actively reveal his aura, it would be difficult for others to tell that he was a cultivator.
Immediately, he reached out.
An Jishi took his pulse, and soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face:
"You just took a two-veined spiritual vein Angelica sinensis combined with Rehmannia root a few days ago?"
Qiu Zhen guessed something and nodded:
"I took it the day before I met with Chief Steward An."
“It’s really mysterious.”
An Jishi looked surprised:
"I see that the poison in your body is much milder than I expected."
Qiu Zhen remained calm.
He has the ability to look inside himself. These days, he practices internal cultivation by eating Qi every day, and the turbid poison in the precious medicine is indeed fading every day.
This is the benefit of being promoted to the second level martial artist.
If one day, the five acquired barriers are completely broken, the Qi and blood are stabilized, and the body is impermeable, then his superior "method of eating air" will truly exert its power.
"I have touched your bones before. You do not have superior bones, nor do you have a spiritual body. The precious medicine can dissolve the turbid poison much faster than a congenital martial artist."
Pharmacist An looked at Qiu Zhen with a strange expression:
"Xiao Zhen, tell me the truth. When you entered the mountain, did you encounter any other strange things that were different from what outsiders saw?"
When Qiu Zhen heard this, his heart moved.
The opportunity to build a persona has arrived.
After thinking for a while, he touched his head and said:
"Sir, does it count if a demon beast actively follows me? Moreover, I seem to be able to understand the beast's language occasionally and know what they are thinking."
"There is still such a thing!"
An Jishi and Ankang looked at each other, both of them showed surprise on their faces.
After a long while, An Jishi finally sighed:
"It's for sure. You are most likely to have a destiny like that. This destiny is quite unique. It seems a bit like the destiny of a mountain god."
When Qiu Zhen heard this, he was delighted.
The character who "has a destiny" was created, and even Pharmacist An was fooled.
He has the demon beast Bai Shu by his side, and he also got the [Guo Wenju's Magical Beast Taming Technique], which allows him to tame beasts. It would be a bit of a waste to give this skill to the "immortal cultivator Qingwei Jushi". The best case scenario is to give it to the real person, Qiu Zhen.
In this way, he obviously has the ability to protect himself and is no longer just a mere acquired martial artist.
"This is a great thing for you."
After being surprised, An Jishi regained his composure and changed the subject, saying:
"But it could also be a disaster."
