I was hiding in the village and became the Grandmaster of all things!

"Ah! Master, are you going to kick me out?"

Wang Lu looked at Lin Qingzhi in astonishment, his voice filled with frustration and loss that was hard to conceal.

"Disciple really doesn't want to leave the mountain..."

He slowly lowered his head, kicking the pebbles on the ground unconsciously with his toes, his heart filled with reluctance to leave.

For Wang Lu, this quiet little mountain village is his whole world.

Here, he can accompany his master every day and take good care of his master's daily life; in his spare time, he can also learn medical skills and alchemy from his master.

The deep mountains and old forests behind the village are his treasure trove of alchemy materials.

Although there are often monsters and beasts in the mountains, it is precisely because of this that those precious medicinal herbs can thrive in an environment without interference.

Although many spiritual medicines are also extremely attractive to monsters, not every spiritual medicine is guarded by a powerful monster.

As long as you are careful and cautious, you will always gain something.

Moreover, staying in the village made him feel extremely safe and comfortable. There was no worldly noise and disturbance, only the deep friendship between master and apprentice and the quiet beauty of nature.

Thinking about saying goodbye to this familiar land and embarking on an unknown journey, Wang Lu's mood became increasingly heavy.

"Silly boy, look at your great cultivation skills. How can you be content to stay in this small village like this? Look at your two junior brothers and sisters. Before I even said anything, they've already sneaked out to explore the world!"

Lin Qingzhi gently stroked Wang Lu's head and advised him softly and earnestly.

However, Wang Lu just lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and stammered and whispered again:

"But...disciple, I really don't want to go out..."

Hearing this, Lin Qingzhi was slightly startled, then he bent down and carefully looked at the disciple in front of him with a depressed look on his face.

Wang Lu's brows were furrowed and his lips were tightly closed, as if he had some unspeakable hardship in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qingzhi's originally tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said comfortingly:

"If that's the case... well, forget it. Everyone has their own aspirations! Actually, staying in the village isn't a bad idea. You can continue to study medicine and save lives, while also cultivating and accumulating merit. Maybe you'll be able to carve out a world of your own in the future!"

"real?!"

When Wang Lu heard this, his eyes, which had been somewhat dim, instantly lit up, like bright stars suddenly twinkling in the night sky.

He couldn't help but raise his head and look straight at Lin Qingzhi in front of him, his eyes full of surprise and expectation.

"certainly……"

Lin Qingzhi smiled slightly, and that smile was like a gentle spring breeze, making people feel extremely warm and at ease.

He just nodded slightly and continued:

"But you can't be lazy in your training. You must be diligent. Only in this way can you achieve your dreams sooner."

"Master, don't worry! I will definitely practice hard!"

After hearing this, Wang Lu nodded hurriedly in response.

Glancing at Wang Lu standing beside him, Lin Qingzhi nodded slowly, then turned his gaze to the faintly fragrant Rejuvenating Pill in the furnace, and asked thoughtfully:

"What on earth are you going to do with this pill..."

Hearing this, Wang Lu was stunned, as if he had not expected his master to suddenly ask him this.

After a while, he finally reacted, scratched his head, and with an embarrassed look on his face, he replied softly:

"Master, I want to send two to Uncle Shitou's house first. One is for Aunt Lin, who is always so kind to me; the other is for Grandma You, your aunt, because I have to show my respect to her.

Also, send two each to Grandma Chen and Grandma Kong. Grandma Chen is your grandmother!

After saying this, Wang Lu continued, "After I have arranged for all the gifts to be given away, I plan to auction off the remaining Rejuvenating Pills.

After I sell them, I want to use the money to buy some small gifts for the elders in our village to show my appreciation."

After hearing what Wang Lu said, Lin Qingzhi smiled slightly and nodded gently to express his approval.

Grandma Chen in Wang Lukou is Lin Qingzhi's grandmother, and Grandma Kong is Lin Qingzhi's aunt.

Who told this child to worship Lin Qingzhi as his master, so his seniority is low?

"Okay, kid, as long as you know what's going on."

Lin Qingzhi's face was filled with a gratified smile. He gently reached out and stroked Wang Lu's head, as if it was an inestimable treasure.

Looking at the sensible and well-behaved child in front of him, his heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.

You know, children who know how to be grateful are always very likable.

Wang Lu is such a good boy. Although he is now an orphan, he has never forgotten the people who once gave him warmth and care.

Back then, after Wang Lu’s father unfortunately passed away, the entire village extended a helping hand to him.

Not only did everyone care about him and take good care of him in daily life, they also often paid attention to his emotional changes, fearing that he would be devastated by the loss of his loved ones.

Because of this, Wang Lu has always kept this deep friendship in his heart and secretly vowed to find an opportunity to repay these kind villagers.

Later, Wang Lu became a disciple of Lin Qingzhi and learned medical skills.

From then on, whenever any villager in the village felt unwell or suffered from some minor illness or pain, he would provide free medical treatment without hesitation.

However, as time went on, the villagers in the village began to embark on the path of cultivation.

Since then, no one in the village has been sick. Faced with this situation, Wang Lu was happy for the villagers. Although he could no longer repay the villagers with his medical skills, his desire to repay the villagers' kindness never changed.

Now his alchemy skills have achieved some success.

From now on, you can refine Qi-Refining Pills, Body-Refining Pills and other elixirs.

“Chirp…”

At this moment, Gungun in Lin Qingzhi's arms suddenly stretched out its pink little claws and gently scratched the corner of Wang Lu's clothes.

Wang Lu looked down when he heard the voice, and saw Gungun looking up at him with his big round eyes full of anticipation.

When Wang Lu followed Gungun's gaze that occasionally glanced elsewhere, he instantly understood what the little guy was thinking.

It turned out that its bright eyes would occasionally glance at the alchemy furnace not far away.

It goes without saying that this greedy little guy must be craving for food again.

Every time Wang Lu successfully refined a batch of pills, Gun Gun would stare at it eagerly like this, eager to eat one.

If you don't give it to him, GunGun will grab people's clothes and won't let go, making a fuss and acting coquettish, making it impossible for people to concentrate on their work;

But if I give it to it, I'm worried that eating too many pills will have a bad impact on its future cultivation.

After all, although this pill has many functions, the medicinal power contained in it may not be completely beneficial to Gun Gun, who is still in the growth stage.

For a moment, Wang Lu was in a dilemma.

As if he could see through Wang Lu's inner thoughts at a glance, Lin Qingzhi smiled slightly and slowly said:

"Don't worry, since this little fellow wants it, just give it the pill. You should know that normally, other animals might be poisoned by the pill after swallowing it, which would affect their own cultivation progress.

However, for this little guy, there is no need to worry at all."

Hearing the master's words, Wang Lu couldn't help but widen his eyes. With a look of curiosity on his face, he stretched out his finger and gently poked the chubby little head, and asked doubtfully:

"Master, why is Gun Gun so special?"

Lin Qingzhi showed a mysterious smile on his face and explained softly:

“Because this little fellow possesses an extremely rare and powerful soul-devouring physique.

Whether it's an incomparably precious elixir or a spirit stone imbued with rich spiritual energy, it can easily absorb the spiritual power within into its body and use it for its own benefit."

At this point, Lin Qingzhi paused for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he continued:

"Moreover, this miraculous physique was gradually evolved not long ago.

I think it is because I have given it too many natural treasures on a daily basis. The vast amount of spiritual power in these treasures constantly nourishes its body, and finally enables it to give birth to such an enviable divine body.

From now on, the little guy's path of cultivation can be said to be extremely easy and comfortable. He only needs to enjoy those things that contain abundant spiritual power.

Wherever spiritual energy exists, it is an excellent resource to help it cultivate and grow."
