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

Valley of Seeking Truth.

“Young Master, Young Master, what just happened? Why have you been standing there for so long? We called you but you didn't respond.”

Bai Zhu and Xiao Zaozi surrounded Qiu Zhen, very curious.

They had already scattered all the 'ashes' from their three wooden puppet mechanical beasts, and were just waiting to be assigned tasks.

“Young Master, did you have another epiphany?”

“Sort of.”

Qiu Zhen shook his head, weighed the "little wooden beast" in his hand, and didn't explain much to the two little fellows. He used his eyes to write a talisman, outlining a thunder talisman in the void, generating surging thunderfire to burn the core of the "little wooden beast" formation.

Before long, the last wooden puppet mechanical beast turned into ashes under the burning thunderfire.

Seeing this, Bai Zhu and Xiao Zaozi happily started their chore of "scattering ashes" to nourish the medicinal field, full of energy.

Qiu Zhen ignored them, found a corner to sit down and rest, feeling a little fortunate in his heart.

After analyzing and thoroughly understanding the Grandmaster-level "Demon Suppression Talisman," he guessed that the Wooden Puppet Sect Master would definitely come to him for trouble, and he felt a little uneasy.

Therefore, he had made up his mind to take his parents to Qingmu City to live for a while tomorrow.

In Qingmu City, even if Mu Rong Daoist had a hundred胆子 (dǎn zi, courage), he wouldn't dare to attack.

However, plans can't keep up with changes.

Mu Rong Zhenren actually came to his door so quickly.

Of course, Mu Rong Zhenren was not reckless.

He didn't come in person, nor did his Yin spirit travel, but instead he stepped on the Dipper and arranged the Gang, casting a spell from dozens or hundreds of miles away, using the "little wooden beast" as a medium to drag him into a divine sense illusion and attack his divine sense.

From Mu Rong Daoist's perspective, this was undoubtedly the safest approach.

After all, Qiu Zhen was currently under the attention of the Demon Suppression Division. If he blatantly came to cause trouble for Qiu Zhen, he would surely die without a burial place.

Mu Rong Daoist's approach was flawless. With his divine sense, he could easily suppress acquired martial masters, even early innate martial masters and Yin spirit experts, with the 【Azure Wood Illusion】 constructed by his divine sense.

Unfortunately, he met Qiu Zhen.

Seeing the other party attack, Qiu Zhen was not afraid at all. Instead, he was delighted and eager to try, thinking of taking the opportunity to "intimidate" the other party.

The reality was as he expected.

As soon as the Primordial Spirit Dharma Body appeared, the illusion outlined by the other party's divine sense shattered in the blink of an eye, not a match at all.

“I wonder if I scared this Wooden Puppet Sect Master.”

Qiu Zhen muttered to himself, feeling fortunate.

With this "attack," presumably this time "Mu Rong Daoist" would be completely unsure of his details.

In the short term, he would definitely not dare to attack him easily.

The only drawback was that this attack would "expose" that there was an "old monster" by his side.

This matter might cause some trouble in the future, but compared to the current predicament, it was nothing.

Matters should be prioritized according to their importance and urgency.

The current situation was beneficial to him, and could buy him a chance to breathe.

“Presumably, Mu Rong Zhenren won't dare to come looking for trouble for me for a while. Next, the most important thing is to deduce the 【Summoning Divine General Method】.”

After that, Qiu Zhen's life suddenly returned to its former tranquility.

In the early morning, he rushed from Qiu Family Village to Qingmu City, first going to the An residence to practice martial arts, and in the afternoon either going to the Medicine King Qingmu Hall for consultation or to the Demon Suppression Division for exorcism.

In the evening, he would return to Qiu Family Village to cultivate and deduce the "God Creation Method" in the "Summoning and Combining General Method."

The days were calm and peaceful.

Two days later.

West of Qingmu City, White Crane Academy.

Qiu Zhen came to White Crane Academy, presented a greeting card, and visited the Head of White Crane Academy.

After the doorman reported, he politely invited Qiu Zhen in and led him to the reception hall.

“Little Divine Doctor Qiu, why do you have time to come to White Crane Academy today?”

As he spoke, a scholar in his fifties with slightly graying beard walked into the room, greeting Qiu Zhen with a smile.

This person was Yan Shangyuan, the Head of White Crane Academy, a great Confucian scholar with extremely high prestige in Changle Prefecture. When the changes occurred in the Qingmu area, he returned to his hometown to establish White Crane Academy and educate the people.

Qiu Zhen had visited Yan Shanchang's home to treat his children, and had interacted with him.

This could be considered a natural advantage of "doctors," even if he didn't deliberately cultivate it in this regard, his connections were extremely wide.

“Head Yan, I have become interested in the 《Book of Changes》. I heard my teacher say that you are a master of this subject, so I specially came to White Crane Academy to study. Please accept me as a student.”

Qiu Zhen had no interest in what imperial examinations and fame.

He was completely reading the books of sages and sages.

Especially the 《Book of Changes》 in the Four Books and Five Classics, he was very interested in it.

His innate natal magic treasure 【Heavenly Evolution Forty-Nine Divine Pearl】 was extremely compatible with the 《Book of Changes》. Focusing on the 《Book of Changes》 was of great benefit to the deduction of his natal magic treasure.

Originally, he was asking An Yaoshi for advice.

Although An Yaoshi dabbled in this way, he was not proficient in it, so he recommended Yan Shanchang of White Crane Academy and asked him to come to White Crane Academy to study.

“So it was Brother An's intention.”

When Yan Shangyuan heard that it was An Jishi's intention, his slightly furrowed brows quickly relaxed, and he smiled and said:

“Little Divine Doctor Qiu seeks knowledge, how can White Crane Academy not accept it? It's just that I am usually entangled in many things, and I'm afraid I won't have time to personally teach you. I can only occasionally give you some pointers.”

“That would be great.”

Qiu Zhen didn't expect that a dignified great Confucian could teach him hand-in-hand. Being able to occasionally give him pointers was probably also because of An Yaoshi's face.

“Student has met Head.”

“Great!”

With the Head of White Crane Academy making the decision, Qiu Zhen successfully entered White Crane Academy to study 《Book of Changes》.

In a flash, unknowingly, a month passed.

During this time, Qiu Zhen's life was extremely fulfilling.

Studying, deducing exercises, cultivating.

Day after day, regular and fulfilling.

In the past month, his floating cultivation had gradually stabilized and become extremely solid.

Qiu Zhen was not surprised that his cultivation was stable, it was something he expected. What surprised him was that after joining White Crane Academy and studying 《Book of Changes》 with the academy's lecturers, he gained a lot.

《Book of Changes》 is the head of the group of classics.

Not only does the Confucian school study 《Book of Changes》, but for Taoist disciples, it also contains the principles of cultivation and is the source of the Great Dao.

After Qiu Zhen cultivated 《Book of Changes》, he gained and surprised every day, and his Taoism had improved a lot.

Of course, after studying 《Book of Changes》, the innate natal magic treasure 【Heavenly Evolution Forty-Nine Divine Pearl】 became more and more spiritual, which greatly helped in deducing the 【Summoning Divine General Method】.

Over the past month, Qiu Zhen had deduced billions of times, and finally found a clue in the thousands of clues, and the goal became clearer and clearer.

“The difficulty of creating gods lies in gathering the gods. If you use the evil spirit of heaven and earth to condense a deity, it will only have form but no spirit. If you can…”

It was night, in Qiu Zhen Valley.

Qiu Zhen was sitting cross-legged on a futon, his eyes looking back, constantly deducing.

Qingmu County, Demon Suppression Division.

Since the beast tide began a year ago, the Qingmu area had never really been peaceful.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there might be days of "calm and tranquility," but in the eyes of the martial masters of the Demon Suppression Division, every day was thrilling and exciting, with endless chores and endless demons and ghosts to kill.

Of course, there was also everything available, and endless silver to be made.

The entire Demon Suppression Division operated precisely and efficiently.

Demon Suppression Division, a quiet small courtyard.

Lin Shoulong, the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, hurried over. After reporting, he entered the study in the small courtyard.

“Greetings, Commander!”

Wei Tanzhi put down the dossier in his hand and was a little surprised to see Lin Shoulong looking dusty:

“Shoulong, you are so hurried, did something happen?”

“It's good news.”

A look of excitement appeared on Lin Shoulong's face:

“A few days ago, you asked me to pay attention to Little Divine Doctor Qiu. Now the case has made progress.”

“Oh.”

Wei Tanzhi became interested:

“Did you really dig up any clues?”

“That's right. After you arranged the errands, I immediately sent dark lines to investigate secretly, and I really dug up a lot of things.”

Lin Shoulong didn't keep his superior in suspense, and talked eloquently:

“After a dark line investigation, a year ago, Qiu Zhen entrusted his neighbor Li Fisherman to buy shrines, Three Purities statues, sesame oil and other items from a group of villagers in Xiangyang Village.”

“Although Xiangyang Village was haunted at that time, it was normal to buy these ghostly things. But at that time, Qiu Zhen had already become a martial master, with vigorous energy and blood. How could he be afraid of mere wandering souls and little ghosts? He was probably buying such things needed for cultivation under the pretext of being haunted, to cover up his cultivation.”

“This is indeed a clue, but it's not enough.”

Wei Tanzhi shook his head. After becoming a martial master, he was still a mortal after all, and it was not unreasonable to be in awe of gods and ghosts.

If the villagers all bought it, and he also bought a set, it was not a big deal.

With just this clue evidence, the persuasiveness was not enough.

“Of course it's not enough. I knew about this clue a month ago. I just knew it wasn't convincing enough, so I didn't investigate further. However, a few days ago, there was another clue.”

Lin Shoulong looked excited and said:

“There is a large household surnamed Li in Xiangyang Village. The cook in his family encountered wandering souls and evil spirits, trapped in a nightmare, muddled and ignorant. His family brought him to our Demon Suppression Division to report the case. Originally, the demon suppression martial master under our command didn't take it too seriously. He planned to relieve him of the nightmare illusion as usual and let him wake up.”

“However, unexpectedly, when he was relieved of the nightmare technique, a picture appeared in our Demon Suppression Division's magic weapon 【Relieving Nightmare Realm】. He had been infiltrated into a dream by a Yin spirit expert.”

Wei Tanzhi was a little surprised:

“Yin spirit infiltrated? What does this have to do with Qiu Zhen?”

“Commander, after the cook woke up, my demon suppression martial master interrogated him afterwards. When the 'evil cultivator exorcism case' was haunted last year, he dreamed that a ghost was chasing him. Later, a black cat appeared in the dream, grabbing the ghost and saving him.”

“After this incident, the harassment of ghosts to the villagers never happened again.”

“This matter also matches our Demon Suppression Division. That night, our Demon Suppression Division interrogated the little ghost with the Examination and Summoning Great Method, and learned the whereabouts of the evil cultivator who exorcised the ghost. As a result, it was one step too late. When we rushed over, the evil cultivator died in the hands of a Yin spirit expert who was proficient in thunder magic.”

Lin Shoulong talked eloquently and was very excited:

“Commander, one thing may be a coincidence, but so many things are all related to Qiu Zhen. I'm afraid it can't be explained by the word coincidence.”

Wei Tanzhi nodded slightly when he heard the words, and couldn't help but think of the speculation of his book boy.

Thunder magic, Yin spirit expert…
