Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 94 Chu Xing is Injured (Please Subscribe)

In the following days, with the patrol team patrolling the area, the results seemed to be good, and no news about heretical practitioners came in for several days in a row.

Zhou Ling also cultivated step by step.

Every day, besides going to Maple Leaf Mountain, I would return in the evening to repair magical artifacts.

The Lu family workshop has also repaired several magical artifacts and the black gold seal.

In addition, the drawing of the steaming fire inscription has also been prepared.

Although the Treasure Pavilion also sells first-grade high-quality fire-attribute spirit ink.

However, after Zhou Ling inspected it, he found the quality to be mediocre and the price too high.

He decided to develop it himself.

After all, the quality of the spirit ink is directly related to the quality of the inscription, and it also has a significant impact on the quality of the magic weapon.

He himself had several first-grade high-quality ink grasses. As long as he added a small amount of fire crystals and refined them with spiritual power, he could refine fire-attribute spirit ink.

Moreover, if he uses beast flames to temper the spirit ink, the quality will be far superior to the spirit ink sold by the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhou Ling drew several more times on the spirit paper and successfully drew a first-grade high-quality steam fire inscription each time.

After dinner, Zhou Ling returned to his room and prepared to begin formally drawing on the brewing stove.

Now that his skill in using the steaming fire inscription technique is quite high, he started writing very smoothly.

However, after the three inscription nodes, some stumbling blocks began to appear.

Fortunately, Zhou Ling drew on the open-loop structure of the Fire Gathering Inscription from the previous restoration workshop.

Using the Beast Flame, the Inscription Nodes are drawn in a closed-loop pattern.

After drawing the fourth inscription node, he collected his spiritual energy, rested for a while, and felt that his spiritual energy and divine sense had recovered before continuing to draw.

We took another break on the fifth node, and finally managed to draw it successfully, though it took much longer.

This nineteen-character steam fire inscription took more than half an hour to complete, and it consumed a considerable amount of the mana and spiritual power within the body.

However, thinking about what's coming next makes the mother feel much more at ease.

The wine produced is of good quality.

I remember the look of joy on my mother's face as she watched the wine being poured from the wine stove.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Zhou Ling's face.

After storing the brewing furnace in his storage bag, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged and meditated to restore his spiritual power and divine sense.

I don’t know how long it took.

Suddenly, there was an urgent knocking sound at the door.

"Sister-in-law Zhou, open the door quickly!"

Zhou Ling hurriedly left the room to open the door.

But her mother had already opened the door.

These days, she has been worried because her father has to make rounds at night, and she hasn't been sleeping well.

"Sister-in-law, something terrible has happened! We've encountered evil cultivators! Brother Chu and Brother Zhou are both injured and are currently at the Chu family's residence. You must go and check on them quickly!"

Outside was Xu Jiu, a member of the medicine-finding team. He spoke to Li Ru with a panicked expression.

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ru shuddered. Just what she feared had come true!
Zhou Ling hurried over and asked Xu Jiu, "Uncle Xu, what's wrong?"

"Sigh, this matter is hard to explain in a short time. We happened to run into that evil cultivator while we were on patrol, and a battle broke out. Old Chu and your father were injured. You should go and take a look!"

"I still need to see Dr. Lin!"

After Xu Jiu finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

"Mother, don't worry, with the bamboo armor, nothing should happen!"

Seeing her mother's tense and worried expression, Zhou Ling quickly comforted her.

"Let's go take a look!"

Hearing her son say that, Li Rucai relaxed a little.

The mother and son then quickly headed towards the Chu family's residence.

It was already past midnight, and the road was quiet and pitch black, with only the occasional bark of a stray cat or dog. Although he wasn't far from the Chu family's residence, Zhou Ling dared not be careless in the slightest.

Quietly consuming divine sense to trigger the [crisis response].

······.

When Zhou Ling and the others arrived at the Chu family's residence, they saw Zhou Shan sitting on a wooden chair in the hall, his expression slightly pale.

Chu Xing lay on the wooden board, eyes closed, face pale, his body trembling from time to time, his rattan and bamboo armor dull and lifeless.

Seeing that Zhou Shan wasn't seriously injured, Li Ru and Zhou Ling both breathed a sigh of relief.

I arrived quickly, and only then did my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settle down.

Chu Xing's wife was taken away by the children after the evil cultivators appeared in this area.

Chu Xing, relying on his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, was not afraid of evil cultivators.

Another reason was that the brothers in the medicine-finding team were all here, so they did not leave with their wives.

"Husband, what's going on?"

Seeing Chu Xing's pained expression, Li Ru asked Zhou Shan with concern.

"When I was patrolling the streets with Brother Chu and Xu Jiu, we encountered that evil cultivator. He was wearing a black robe and holding a black soul banner. He was at the late stage of Qi Refining."

"The three of us dared not be careless and immediately sent a signal to the Xuan Ting Division."

"But this evil cultivator was extremely vigilant; knowing he had been discovered, he quickly fled!"

"Brother Chu was unwilling to let him escape like this, so he chased after him. I thought that I couldn't let Brother Chu risk his life alone, so I followed him."

"When I arrived, Brother Chu was already fighting with the evil cultivator. With my arrival, we had a clear advantage."

"Seeing that the people from the Xuan Ting Division were about to arrive, the evil cultivator suddenly activated the Soul Banner."

"Then a gust of cold wind blew by, and the Soul Banner condensed a soul attack, accompanied by a chilling poison."

"Fortunately, I had the bamboo armor, which allowed me to block the opponent's soul attack and avoid the cold poison."

"But Brother Chu was attacked by the cold poison and was injured."

"The heretical cultivators were also injured during our attack."

"Later, the people from the Xuan Ting Division arrived, so I brought Brother Chu back first, while the people from the Xuan Ting Division continued to pursue the evil cultivators."

Zhou Shan looked at Chu Xing with a worried expression and said.

His friendship with Chu Xing was forged over a decade of searching for medicine in the mountains and facing crises time and again, a bond built through shared experiences and a deep bond that transcended life and death.

Looking at Chu Xing, who was burly but trembling all over, Zhou Ling's face also showed worry.

To become the captain of the medicine-finding team, one not only needs high cultivation level, but more importantly, one needs sufficient prestige.

To gain the trust of others.

The search for medicinal herbs by the team goes into the mountains not just to face the monsters and beasts in the mountains.

Other medicine-finding teams also have to compete for territory.

Different medicine-hunting teams will search for medicine in different areas.

Without sufficient strength, you can only go to places fraught with danger or where there are few medicinal herbs to grow.

"Brother Chu, how are you?"

Seeing Chu Xing open his eyes, Li Ru asked with concern, her voice slightly choked with emotion.

My eyes were slightly sore and glistening with tears.

"Cough cough! I'm cold!"

Chu Xing coughed violently twice, as if white breath was coming out of his mouth, and he trembled so much that he couldn't speak.

Seeing Chu Xing, who was usually optimistic and dignified, in this state, Zhou Ling felt bad.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Xu Jiu and Lin Danshi walked in.

"Master Lin Dan!"

"Master Lin Dan!"

Zhou Shan and the others bowed to Master Lin, who nodded slightly and looked at Chu Xing lying on the wooden board.
