Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 201: Qinghe County Liu Family Pharmacy, meeting an old friend again, fighting

Liu Hexuan happened to be seeing patients in this clinic.

But it's on the second floor.

The second floor, like the private rooms in a restaurant, is specially prepared for warriors or patients with serious injuries, and also provides "hospitalization" services.

When Chen Yushu saw the other party, there happened to be a warrior with injured waist and thigh who was holding the wall and slowly walking out.

"Chen Yushu, you're here?"

Seeing Chen Yushu, Liu Hexuan showed a look of surprise on his face, then he stretched out his hand slightly, motioned him to sit down, and said: "I received a letter from your master a few days ago.

He mentioned that you had come to Qinghe County alone, but I haven’t seen you come, so I’m a little worried…”

“It did come a few days early.

It's just that something happened and I was delayed.

As soon as the matter was settled, I hurried over here. "

Chen Yushu also explained slightly and said.

"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here.

The exam is today and will start in three days.

Earlier, the Third Miss had a conflict with the First Lady in order to help you get the quota.

If you don't arrive in time, we won't be able to arrange personnel for a while, and even if we do, it won't be effective."

After all, the genius assessment is a test of personal strength.

It is the strength and means of the younger generation of warriors who have not yet entered the inner force realm.

If you don't have the corresponding strength, it would just be embarrassing to go.

In the previous few times, the Liu family had suffered successive defeats and had been at the bottom of the list in Qinghe County.

Naturally, they are at a great disadvantage in the competition for some resources within the county.

But genius is not something that can be easily found, and this is why, although the Liu family pharmacy is just a pharmacy, it attaches so much importance to the martial arts talent of its apprentices.

Liu Hexuan said, and quickly called the physician apprentice who had been following him, saying, "Go, ask the third young lady to come over."

"Yes!"

The man nodded quickly and couldn't help but look at Chen Yushu curiously.

The genius test is not something that ordinary people can participate in.

Can this person take part in the genius test?
But from the outside, there is nothing special about it.

Chen Yushu smiled and said nothing.

After all, he had done this in order to obtain the inheritance of the Huangshan Patriarch's Yin-walking skills, so he was willing to miss this genius assessment.

It's good enough that we can arrive on time.

"Yushu, have you found a place to stay?"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Hexuan asked again.

“Not really.

But this is easy. When the time comes, I can find a dental clinic and I should be able to find a suitable place quickly."

Chen Yushu shook his head at first, then said with a smile.

"What dental clinic are you looking for?
It just so happened that I had a yard in the east of the city, which was the ancestral home of my cousin's family. A few years ago, my cousin's family moved to the county town and asked me to help deal with it.

I've been busy and haven't had time to clean it up. It's a bit old, but it's spacious. You can just clean it up and move in directly."

Liu Hexuan shook his head and spoke directly.

"This……"

Chen Yushu was stunned and hesitated a little.

"You can take a look first. If you are not used to it, you can find another one yourself."

Liu Hexuan said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Liu."

Hearing this, Chen Yushu had no choice but to bow and agree.

As they were talking, a pretty woman in red walked in.

It was the third daughter of the Liu family pharmacy, Liu Qingyan.

Following closely behind him was another old acquaintance, the successor of the geomancer, Lu Yizi.

And judging from the rosy faces of both of them, the expressions between their eyebrows, and especially the third lady's headdress and many other details, it seems that the two of them have accomplished something good?
In addition to the two of them, there were actually two young warriors following behind them.

One is slightly tall, while the other has a well-balanced body. The energy and blood in their bodies are as vigorous as a small stove.

Obviously, they are all warriors who have reached the inner training level.

“Brother Chen.

I heard you were coming a long time ago.

This is the first time I’ve seen it.”

When Lu Yizi saw Chen Yushu, a smile appeared on his face and he spoke.

When they went to collect herbs, besides himself, there was only Chen Yushu, a cultivator who practiced Yin Buddhism.

Especially during the final battle with the ghost lady, he was deeply impressed by Chen Yushu's endless talisman techniques.

Therefore, I feel somewhat close to him.

"I was delayed by something before, so I just came here now."

Chen Yushu explained, looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate Brother Lu yet."

"You're welcome."

Lu Yizi waved his hand.

"Are you Chen Yushu?"

But at this moment, a person standing behind Lu Yizi and Liu Qingyan suddenly spoke, but his tone was not so kind.

"Ok?"

Chen Yushu had already noticed the two of them, especially the way they looked at him, which was full of vigilance and dissatisfaction. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's me!"

“You know, the genius assessment is a matter of great importance.

Especially this time.

It also involves the management rights of our Liu family’s two medicine mountains.

Once we rank at the bottom, our two medicine mountains and three shops on the street will have to be transferred.

Even in the entire Qinghe County ranking, it will drop down a level and be removed from the top five."

As the man spoke, he took a step forward and looked at Chen Yushu, his tone full of indignation.

"so what?"

Chen Yushu raised his eyebrows and asked.

“So, if you really have the ability, we will naturally respect you and allow you to participate in this genius assessment.

But if you don't have the strength to force it, I advise you not to harm the Third Miss and the Liu family."

Soon after, another person also spoke up, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the fact that Chen Yushu, an apprentice from a small town, openly occupied a place in the genius assessment.

“Brother Yushu, this is actually my fault.

Last time, I discovered that you have extraordinary talent.

Afterwards, Shopkeeper Su suggested that you take part in this genius assessment. I was very happy and immediately secured a spot for you.

It's just because you haven't arrived yet.

We were also worried that no one would participate and we would be considered to have abstained, so we had to make preparations for both scenarios.

So, I secretly selected someone to take your place in this genius assessment..."

Seeing this, Third Miss Liu Qingyan also felt a little embarrassed, so she had to stand up and speak with gritted teeth.

“These two people, one named Xu Zhi and the other Zhang Ying, are both talented apprentices of the younger generation in our pharmacy.

He has a very good talent for martial arts.

If you had arrived earlier, this spot would undoubtedly be yours.

But now, they have stood out from the other apprentices, and they are all elite apprentices of our third house, so I can’t be biased…”

Liu Qingyan looked at Chen Yushu and said so.

"It doesn't matter.

Let them take the talent assessment spot on this day.

I don't care whether I participate or not." Chen Yushu waved his hand and said calmly.

"Yushu, please don't act on impulse.

This assessment is of great importance.

In addition to the interests of the Liu family, it also concerns the admission quota to Yaowang Valley.

I think your master sent you here for your future.

In this way, please give me, Old Liu, some face and compete with them. If you win, I will make the decision for you and no matter who comes, no one can take away your spot.

Even if it's a tie, the spot is still yours.

But if we lose..."

Liu Hexuan quickly grabbed Chen Yushu and began to persuade him.

“Defeated.

Naturally, the quota is gone.”

On the opposite side, the apprentice named Xu Zhi said in a cold voice.

"Then let's compete."

Chen Yushu pondered for a moment. If it was just him, it really wouldn't matter, but it involved his master Su Ming... His master Su Ming had indeed taken good care of him before, and had indeed paid a lot for his place in the genius exam. It was really hard for him to give up easily.

So he nodded.

"it is good!"

Xu Zhi was delighted, and fearing that Chen Yushu would go back on his word, he quickly agreed.

So soon, a group of people moved and came to the backyard of the pharmacy.

There just happened to be a martial arts training ground in the backyard.

When they heard that there was going to be a fight in the backyard martial arts training ground, the apprentices all became curious and came over while they didn't have much work to do. Soon, a group of people stood around the training ground.

Among them were some apprentices from the Liu family pharmacy, as well as patients with milder symptoms and some martial artists who came specifically to get and buy medicine.

curious.

It's human nature.

No one in the Liu family pharmacy drove away outsiders.

So when Chen Yushu stood in the middle of the field, the number of people watching around him had already reached dozens.

“Who is this person?
Xu Zhi and Zhang Ying are the best among our apprentices.

Especially Xu Zhi, it is said that he had already mastered the Medicine King Posture and Medicine King Locking Power, and had laid a very solid foundation.

If I hadn't cultivated for such a short time and hadn't yet reached the peak of inner cultivation, I probably wouldn't have had to compete at all and would have been able to get a spot in this genius assessment."

Someone couldn't help but speak, and his eyes fell on Chen Yushu with scrutiny.

“Although Zhang Ying’s talent is a little lacking, he is the most diligent among our apprentices.

I would get up at four o'clock almost every day to practice martial arts.

He is one year younger than Xu Zhi, but I heard that he won a small victory in his last fight with Xu Zhi. If he hadn't been weak, he would have won."

A person next to him spoke up next, and seemed to admire Zhang Ying very much as well.

"In my opinion, this position should be chosen between Xu Zhi and Zhang Ying.

I heard that person was from the small place called Jianghuan Town.

That place is remote and small, and I guess the people there are very limited.

Do you really think that just having a little bit of talent can make you a genius?
I guess if we compare it with other medicine shops in our Liu family, it won’t even be ranked in the top five, right?

Not to mention comparing with geniuses from other forces."

"genius?
Do people who come from such small places know what a genius is?"

……

A group of people were talking.

Although many people were not familiar with Chen Yushu, and Chen Yushu looked a little immature and not very old, they were not familiar with him.

Naturally, it is not favored by most people.

"Chen Yushu, are you ready?"

Xu Zhi naturally heard the discussions in the crowd. A hint of pride flashed across his face, and then he quickly stepped forward and asked.

“Why should I prepare to deal with you?

Let's go together and save time."

Chen Yushu waved his hand and said casually.

"Go together?

Are you a little too arrogant? "

When Xu Zhi heard this, anger flashed across his face, and then he snorted coldly.

“It’s okay to go one by one.

It has indeed been a long time since I used martial arts to fight an enemy."

Chen Yushu didn't care and continued.

"Insanity!"

"Be careful!"

Xu Zhi was furious, but did not dare to be careless. He immediately took out his long sword, swung the sword, and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. Under his control, the sword light showed light and dark colors.

When it was waved, it looked a little strange.

“Yin Yang Sword.

Senior Brother Xu Zhi had already mastered the Yin-Yang Sword technique. Not only were his sword techniques varied, but the long sword also flickered, making it difficult to predict. Even if one dodged the visible sword, it would be extremely difficult to dodge the hidden sword.

People will be tricked before they know it..."

An apprentice who was familiar with this sword technique couldn't help but speak.

“You forgot Brother Xu Zhi’s steps.

His Cloud-Stepping Step is also at a minor level. When he steps on the ground, it is as if he is stepping on clouds. His movements are graceful and natural. Combined with the Yin-Yang Sword, ordinary people cannot resist it at all."

Another person spoke next.

As he explained, the people around who were just watching the fun all showed expressions of enlightenment.

Most people also believed that Xu Zhi had a great chance of winning this battle.

In their eyes, Chen Yushu was just an apprentice from a small place, a clown who wanted to raise his status by passing the genius test.

He is bound to be defeated by Xu Zhi.

While they were discussing, Xu Zhi's attack arrived.

After taking a few steps with the Stepping Cloud Step, he was close to Chen Yushu and swung two swords, one bright and one dark.

Seeing that Chen Yushu had not made any move until this point, a trace of contempt flashed across Xu Zhi's face.

Taking part in the genius test with such a reaction speed? Wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Liu Family Pharmacy?
I still have to replace him myself to avoid losing so badly.

Thinking this in his mind, he slanted the knife slightly, but he didn't want to hurt the other person directly.

After all, although the two are competitors, they do not have any deep hatred. When fighting, it is better not to hurt anyone if possible.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that Chen Yushu moved.

The movement was not big. The opponent just stepped slightly to the side, then stretched out one hand and lightly touched the blade of his knife.

"Touch the knife with your hands? Are you going to die?"

The thought just flashed through Xu Zhi’s mind.

Suddenly, he felt an unrivaled power coming from his hand holding the hilt of the knife.

This force was too strong, like a surging river, sweeping over him. When the force was transmitted, it made his arms numb, and even his palms slightly cracked.

He suddenly couldn't hold on any longer and subconsciously let go of the hand holding the knife.

A sonorous sound.

The long knife fell to the ground.

When he looked up again, he felt a chill on his neck, and then he felt a burning pain.

Above his neck.

I don't know when a red mark appeared.
