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

The night grew darker, and a bright moon illuminated the mountain ridge.

It was too late, and Qiu Zhen didn't rush to visit Apothecary An in Qingmu Anfu, as that would be too presumptuous.

There was no hurry to go tomorrow.

Besides, the area around Qiu Zhen Valley was, after all, a wilderness, and ferocious beasts would appear from time to time at night, so he had to be on guard to prevent accidents.

Qiu Zhen didn't rest either, gathering materials on the spot, cutting down trees, and building houses at the entrance of "Qiu Zhen Valley" as his family's ancestral home.

This would both establish the family's feng shui and serve to mislead outsiders, concealing the treasure land.

Speaking of which, after cultivating the Yin God and possessing divine consciousness, he could initially master the "illusion" of the treasure land.

After some modifications, ordinary villagers who trespassed would be guided out by the illusion array after wandering around.

In the future, as his cultivation level increased, with the ability to gather qi and converge spiritual energy, the method of concealing this blessed treasure land would become even more ingenious, without anyone knowing.

The land nourishes people, and people also nourish the land.

After a flurry of activity, Qiu Zhen marked out the basic framework of the homestead and stopped there, planning to hire craftsmen to build the house for him later.

At night, a cool breeze blew gently.

Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged on a large tree on the peak of "Qiu Zhen Valley", looking at the brightly lit and bustling scene below the mountain, and feeling bored, he casually took out the [Miro Palace] jade pendant from his pocket.

He had been preoccupied with various matters during the day, and even with obtaining this immortal opportunity, he had no time to comprehend it. Now, he had finally settled down.

"Guo Wenju's Beast Taming Immortal Art"

This immortal technique is divided into two parts, one is the "art" of technique, and the other is the "dao" of principle.

The "dao" of principle is quite mysterious.

Just as Immortal Guo said when he reported to the Emperor, the way of taming beasts is like governing the people, "Cherish me, and I will be loyal; abuse me, and I will be your enemy." It emphasizes a heart of innocence, a heart of nature, and fierce beasts will reciprocate with a heart of innocence.

In terms of technique, the spells transmitted by Immortal Guo are much more practical and reliable, without much empty talk, but a complete set of specific methods.

From the art of appraising beasts to the method of taming, the method of cultivating, and the method of driving... it covers a wide range, with all kinds of things, and the knowledge is as vast as the sea, making people dazzled.

"What a wonderful beast-taming immortal art."

Qiu Zhen browsed through it carefully, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

This method was even more remarkable than he had imagined. Relying on this immortal technique, one could establish a sect and create a sect of beast taming.

"If Daoist Yun Rou knew the mystery of this method, I'm afraid she would regret it greatly."

Qiu Zhen joked to himself, and immediately sank his mind into comprehending the profound and extensive beast-taming immortal art.

The night passed.

Most of the adult men in Qiu Family Village worked all night long, and even in the early morning, they did not rest, still busy building their own thatched huts, so that their families could have a place to settle down as soon as possible.

Early in the morning, the eldest brother Qiu Qing brought Father Qiu and Mother Qiu to "Qiu Zhen Valley" to meet the Qiu family members.

The scene was very lively.

A group of clansmen "saved the country by roundabout routes", surrounding Father Qiu and Mother Qiu with flattery, making the two of them somewhat elated.

Qiu Zhen smiled and didn't say much, informing the old patriarch and the clan elders, planning to go to the city.

"Little Zhen, why don't you go later? You can't ask for help without showing something. Our village will pool some money for you to take."

The old patriarch Qiu said, and began to carefully count:

"Our village is poor, and we can't raise a lot of money. A hundred households can raise a thousand or eight hundred taels of silver..."

"Alright, old patriarch, you can raise some money to bribe the yamen runners."

Qiu Zhen shook his head and said:

"The person I'm going to ask for help, this little money is not enough to be seen, and sending it will only offend him."

Asking for help is a very particular matter.

Apothecary An came from a prestigious family, and his own strength was high. Innate Martial Master An Kang ran errands for him. To ask such a person for help with this little bit of silver would be ignorant and insulting.

Not only would the matter not be accomplished, but it would also greatly offend Apothecary An.

The things that Qiu Zhen could currently offer were probably not valued by Apothecary An, so he simply didn't send anything and went directly to Apothecary An for help, to see what they would say.

In order to protect the "blessed treasure land", it was acceptable to pay some price that he could promise to the An family.

Whipping his horse.

Soon he returned to the city, Qiu Zhen returned the borrowed horse to the medicine shop, and went straight to An Kang, the chief steward of the An family, to explain his intentions.

An Kang paid close attention to Qiu Zhen, and was not surprised to hear Qiu Zhen's intentions. He smiled and said:

"It just so happens that the young master also wants to see you."

The master wants to see me?

Qiu Zhen was a little surprised.

Speaking of which, he had never seen Apothecary An a few times since he joined Apothecary An's sect. The other party was indeed like the legendary recluse, immersed in martial arts and indifferent to worldly affairs.

An Residence, Chunxi Hall.

"I have seen you, sir."

An Jishi, dressed in white, sat in the main seat, looked Qiu Zhen up and down, and said calmly:

"Xiao Zhen, give me your hand."

Qiu Zhen was slightly stunned. He wasn't sick, so what was the point of taking his pulse?

After a moment of astonishment, he was not flustered. As the primordial spirit and dharma body grew stronger day by day with these days of [Flashback], he had control over his physical body. As long as he did not actively reveal his aura, it would be difficult for others to detect that he was a cultivator.

Immediately, he reached out his hand.

An Jishi took his pulse, and soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face:

"Did you take a [Angelica] with two spiritual veins a few days ago and mix it with Rehmannia glutinosa?"

Qiu Zhen guessed something in his heart and nodded:

"I took it the day before I visited Chief Steward An."

"It's really mysterious."

An Jishi looked surprised:

"I see that the turbid poison of the precious medicine in your body is much lighter than expected."

Qiu Zhen remained calm.

He had the ability to introspect himself. These days, he had been nourishing qi internally every day, and the turbid poison of the precious medicine was indeed fading every day.

This was considered a benefit of advancing to the second level martial master.

If one day, all five acquired levels were broken, and the qi and blood were stabilized, and a leak-proof body was cultivated, his superior "Qi Eating Method" would truly exert its power.

"I felt your bones before, you don't have superior roots, nor a spiritual body, and the detoxification of precious medicine is much faster than even an innate martial master."

Apothecary An looked at Qiu Zhen with a strange expression:

"Xiao Zhen, tell me the truth, did you have any other strange things that are different from outsiders when you entered the mountain?"

Qiu Zhen's heart moved when he heard this.

The opportunity to build a persona has come.

After thinking about it, he touched his head and said:

"Sir, does it count if a monster takes the initiative to follow me? Also, I seem to be able to understand beast speech occasionally and know their thoughts..."

"There is such a thing!"

An Jishi and An Kang looked at each other, and both showed surprise on their faces.

After a long time, An Jishi sighed:

"That's right, you are probably destined to be, this destiny is quite remarkable, it seems a bit like the destiny of a mountain god..."

Qiu Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this.

The persona of "having a destiny" was established, and even Apothecary An was fooled.

He had the monster Bai Shu by his side, and he also obtained the [Guo Wenju Beast Taming Immortal Art], which had the ability to tame beasts. This skill was a bit of a waste for the "Cultivator Qingwei Resident", the best situation was to whitewash it to the deity Qiu Zhen.

In this way, he would have the power to protect himself on the surface, not just a small acquired martial master.

"This is a great thing for you."

After being surprised, An Jishi's expression returned to calm, and he changed the subject and said:

"However, it may also be a disaster..."
