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

Chapter 87: Bestowing Medicine and Gifting Dates [Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions]

A year has passed.

The entire Qiu Family Village has undergone earth-shattering changes.

When they first fled here, the weeds were taller than people, and it was a desolate and primitive place everywhere. Every household built temporary thatched huts that leaked wind and rain from all sides, barely providing a place to live.

It was a scene of poverty and decay.

Now, the entire Qiu Family Village is thriving.

Perhaps because they had a place to settle down, were allocated a large amount of land, and had no worries about being invaded by fierce beasts, although the harvest in the fields was very poor during the reclamation stage, and life was not wealthy, they finally survived the lean season.

The Qiu family members generally had high expectations for the future and were willing to spend money, taking out their savings to build houses.

After a year, thatched huts are basically nowhere to be seen, and at least they are all earthen brick houses.

Even, some families with deep pockets have built blue brick houses, spacious two-进 courtyard houses.

Among them, Qiu Zhen's house is the most impressive.

A four-进 courtyard house, with front and back yards, courtyards and corridors, blue bricks and black tiles, flying eaves and brackets...

In addition to Qiu Zhen's parents and Qiu Qing and Qiu Zhen living there, the family hired a cook, farmhands, and ten or so rough maids, which was quite lively.

The people they hired were all from the same village or neighboring villages, good and kind people who knew the details, suffered disasters, and found it difficult to make a living, so they came to Qiu Zhen's house to work and earn money.

Qiu Zhen's family was allocated the most land, a full two hundred acres. In addition to the Qiu Zhen Valley, they were also allocated a small mountain, which was reclaimed into a medicine mountain.

If they didn't hire people, and had to farm and grow herbs, Qiu Zhen's father, Qiu Tianbao, and his elder brother, Qiu Qing, would be too busy.

Not to mention, under Qiu Zhen's strong request, his elder brother, Qiu Qing, began to practice martial arts and basically did not engage in production.

Qiu Zhen left the Qiu Zhen Valley and went directly to the backyard of his home. With a leap, he entered the house and saw his elder brother, Qiu Qing, practicing his stance in the yard in the morning.

A flash of golden light deep in his brow, his eyes were like torches.

Deep in the Lingtai world, the Dharma Body Qiu Zhen's hands constantly showed numbers and mysterious runes...

"Estimated to complete the first level of the 【Pure Yang Eight-Section Brocade】in 399 days."

In at most a little over a year, his elder brother, Qiu Qing, will be able to become a martial artist.

"I really envy my elder brother. A short year is equivalent to my three years of hard training back then."

Qiu Zhen shook his head and sighed in his heart.

Back then, he didn't have the opportunity to meet immortals. How much hardship did he endure in order to practice martial arts?

But now, his elder brother, Qiu Qing, does not engage in production, concentrates on practicing martial arts, eats fierce beast meat every day, and has various supplements. He also has spiritual herbs and precious medicines, as well as the 【Essence-Nourishing and Blood-Strengthening Pill】that he personally refined to assist in his cultivation.

Acquired refinement of oneself relies on hard cultivation. There is no mysterious bottleneck. As long as there are resources, one can become a martial artist.

Even if his elder brother, Qiu Qing, has ordinary talent, with the accumulation of various resources, he estimates that he will become a martial artist in a year and a half.

From time to time, he also takes precious medicines and pills, so the time spent will probably be shorter than expected.

This is the importance of having a leading figure in the family.

"Little brother."

Qiu Qing practiced martial arts, and his ears and eyes were sharp. He quickly noticed Qiu Zhen's arrival and showed a happy expression:

"Look at me, it seems that my skill has improved a little bit again."

"The heat is good!"

Qiu Zhen nodded and handed over a medicine bottle:

"Elder brother, you can take the pills again now. It's still the 【Essence-Nourishing and Blood-Strengthening Pill】. Take one pill every day for seven consecutive days, which can save you seventy or eighty days of hard cultivation."

"Hehe!"

The elder brother happily took the porcelain bottle.

"Elder brother, where are Father and Mother?"

"Father took people to the fields to release water, and Mother went to chat with people."

"Elder brother, give these two spiritual dates to Father and Mother. Eating them will strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives."

"Okay!"

Qiu Zhen handed over the spiritual dates and pills, gave some pointers on his elder brother's martial arts, and then went out.

He didn't give the spiritual dates to his elder brother, Qiu Qing.

He is young, strong, and not injured, so he doesn't need to eat spiritual fruits. Eating pills, spiritual herbs, and precious medicines is better for his martial arts training.

Later, when the green dates on the small date tree are ripe, give one to his elder brother and let him carry it with him in case of emergencies, which can save his life at a critical moment.

After leaving the Qiu residence, he went straight to the Qiu Family Ancestral Hall and found the old patriarch and the patriarch, and sent over this month's 【Essence-Nourishing and Blood-Strengthening Pills】.

Over the past year, Qiu Zhen has basically become the number one decision-maker in the clan, and the atmosphere of martial arts has swept the entire village.

With his support, a large area of public land and two medicine mountains were specially designated to support the clan's children in practicing martial arts.

At the same time, he personally supported the clan members in practicing martial arts, and regularly gave spiritual herbs, precious medicines, and pills to support the clan's children in practicing martial arts.

Of course, his personal support is unsustainable, it is just short-term support, thinking of quickly strengthening the entire clan's power.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish.

Qiu Zhen also teaches the clan members how to grow herbs and prepare herbs in his spare time, develop the clan's industry, and make the clan members rich.

As for more support, he can do it, but he didn't.

He can't stay in Qiu Family Village for the rest of his life, there will always be a day to "cut off worldly ties".

How much wealth can the Qiu family, or the Qiu Family Village, have, it still depends on their own ability.

Too much wealth, without him in charge, is a disaster rather than a blessing.

"Giddy up!"

A steed galloped on the official road, dust flying.

Compared to a year ago, the area around Qingmu has undergone earth-shattering changes.

In the past, the official road was narrow, a straight road, surrounded by wild and desolate wilderness, with few people.

Now, the wide official road extends in all directions, with countless small roads connecting, along the way, villages and stockades spring up like mushrooms after rain, and the acres of reclaimed farmland are well-organized, which is pleasing to the eye.

With the dense population, Qingmu City finally has the atmosphere of a county town, a thriving scene.

After Qiu Zhen drove his horse to Qingmu City, he restrained his divine sense and no longer publicized it.

There is no other reason. Half a year ago, with the initial construction of the new city wall, a City God Temple was built in the city. The imperial court conferred the City God to sit in Qingmu, with prosperous incense and clouds of Yin soldiers under his command.

He, who possessed Yin-Yang Eyes, had seen Yin soldiers several times in the city.

Qiu Zhen was familiar with the road and arrived at the An Mansion.

"Young Master Qiu."

The gatekeeper of the An Mansion skillfully took the steed, and the servants welcomed him over, just like the young master of the mansion returning to the mansion.

Perhaps the servants reported it, and the chief steward An Kang soon came out to greet him.

"Little Zhen, you haven't been here for many days."

"I recently obtained some spiritual fruits, and brought them to the teacher to taste them."

Saying that, Qiu Zhen took out a brocade box from his sleeve.

When opened, three fiery red jujube spiritual fruits were presented in front of An Kang.

"This is..."

"This thing is Jiamu Thunder Date, nourished and bred by the vitality of thunder. It contains the five elements, is pure yang to wood, and contains vigorous life essence. Taking this date can heal injuries. The date pit contains evil-warding thunder qi, which can drive away evil spirits and suppress evil."

"Good stuff!"

An Kang has good eyesight and saw that this thing is extraordinary, and repeatedly shook his head:

"Healing spiritual objects, how can they be used to taste fresh."

"It doesn't matter, these are dates produced by the wood spirits under my command, my own things."

Saying that, Qiu Zhen took out another brocade box and handed it to An Kang:

"Uncle Kang, there is also a share for you."

"I also have a share."

An Kang was stunned, a little surprised, but soon he smiled with relief.

Back then, he took care of Qiu Zhen because he saw himself in Qiu Zhen, so he just gave him a hand and didn't think about anything else.

"Little Zhen, you have a heart."

Qiu Zhen smiled and casually asked:

"Uncle Kang, is the teacher at home today?"

"Yes, he is pointing out martial arts to the young master Hua Yu."

Qiu Zhen was overjoyed, just right, he also wanted to ask An Yaoshi about some things about cultivation.

Especially asking about how to break through to the Acquired Martial Dao realm.

Although he is now formally cultivating immortality, and his main energy is also put on cultivating Taoism, he does not plan to let go of his martial arts.

After all, he has to maintain the persona of a "genius with a destined fate".
