Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

(Let a zombie eat your brain... crunch, crunch crunch... woo~)

Shennong Kingdom, Baicao Village.

Built against the mountainside, the village, which coexists harmoniously with nature, is shrouded in a misty rain. The faint moisture mixed with the scent of soil and herbs is refreshing and invigorating.

Water droplets fell onto the grass blades, were gently brushed aside, and fell into the muddy puddles on the ground, splashing up water.

"Take two doses a day, and come back for a follow-up appointment in a week. Also, abstain from sexual intercourse during this period. Three courses of treatment should be sufficient for a full recovery."

"Thank you, miracle doctor!"

A gaunt figure carrying a medicine bag left the divine doctor's private school.

Ancient Cat Ning's Private School is located on the edge of Hundred Herbs Village.

It's the clinic of the legendary doctor Gu Mao Ning, who also lives here. Most of the villagers actually know some traditional Chinese medicine, so they don't usually need to bother him with minor illnesses.

After seeing off a patient, he walked down from his seat with his hands behind his back and pushed open the door to leave.

Looking at the rain outside, I walked to the stove where the medicinal herbs were being boiled not far away.

After staring at the medicinal herbs for a moment, he suddenly noticed something, and his pupils contracted.

They ran out into the rain.

Before long, they arrived at the gate of the private school and found a figure lying in the rain.

They hurriedly brought the figure back to the private school, examined him by taking his pulse, and treated him with acupuncture.

The black-haired boy slowly opened his eyes, looking at the black cat with a broom-like beard before him. His pupils dilated slightly. "The broom has come to life... uh~"

Gu Mao Ning, "..."

……

Three years later, Qin Ming lay on a grassy hillside, a piece of finely prepared Solomon's Seal Root dangling from his mouth.

It's just time travel, nothing to be surprised about.

Anyway, in my past life, it was better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Being a beast of burden was nothing to miss.

He transmigrated into the body of a dying person in this world, was rescued by Gu Mao Ning, and after several years of recuperation, he has fully recovered and can even be said to be quite healthy.

It would be nice to spend the rest of my life in this paradise-like place where birds sing and flowers bloom.

But this is Shennong Kingdom, yes, the same Shennong Kingdom from the assassin Wu Liuqi series, or more precisely, the prequel series "Black and White Dragons"!

This era is very bad.

In this world, most countries live in peace, or even remain completely estranged, but there are two exceptions.

The Kingdom of Ster and the Kingdom of Xuanwu.

The two opposing countries, Ster and Xuanwu, represent two extremes in terms of both ideology and development direction.

Therefore, conflict is inevitable.

If they were just fighting each other, that would be one thing, but unfortunately, these two countries have become so powerful that even the slightest move by them can cripple the surrounding countries.

Ironically, the period of the Black and White Dragons coincided with a crucial juncture in the development of the Kingdom of Ster, marked by the development of the Red Energy Stone.

The Xuanwu Kingdom was in a similar situation, belonging to a special period in which internal changes were about to occur.

In short, things are about to change.

During this period, quite a few countries were frequently drawn into the conflict, with Shennong Kingdom and its neighbor Dali Kingdom being among the worst affected.

Shennong Kingdom was alright; only one prince came here and caused a ruckus, but was stopped by Qilin, the current leader of the Shadow Assassins organization, and that was the end of it.

But Dali Kingdom was truly wiped out!

That's right, it's about annihilating them!

With their country destroyed and their homes destroyed, almost everyone became experimental subjects of the Kingdom of Ster, transformed into monsters that were neither human nor human, a truly miserable existence.

With this thought in mind, Qin Ming sighed.

"Qin Ming, the teacher wants to see you."

"Oh well."

Standing up, Qin Ming glanced at the puppy in front of him. It had a red, yellow, and blue afro and was a small breed. He wondered what was wrong with this world, where it was obvious that various animals had become sentient.

Moreover, people from different countries are very different.

They even possess unique talents.

For example, in the country of Dali next to Shennong Kingdom, everyone is born with superhuman strength, capable of lifting a cauldron, and conquering cities and fortresses is a piece of cake.

In the Kingdom of Superpowers, everyone possesses unique superpowers, but these powers disappear as they grow up.

No wonder.

Qin Ming and Dog Brother returned to Gu Mao Ning's private school, only to find him administering acupuncture to a patient.

About fifteen minutes later, Gu Mao Ning helped the person up.

The man was dressed as a Taoist priest in a blue robe, but he had a scraggly beard and looked somewhat unkempt. He also had silver needles stuck in his body, but he simply picked up the wine gourd next to him and started drinking.

Seeing this, Gu Mao Ning glared at him and said, "Abstain from alcohol. Although your body has no hidden injuries and your true energy is abundant, the stagnation is not dissipating, and you need to take care of it yourself."

"Haha, I'm from the Heavenly Lotus Sect, I understand, but this is something you can't give up. Thank you for your help."

The middle-aged man took a sip and wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth.

Looking at Qin Ming, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes, and he asked, "Is it him? The one you asked me to guide?"

"Ah."

Gu Mao Ning also looked at Qin Ming and said, "This boy is extremely talented. I have passed on eight or nine tenths of my medical skills to him. He wants to learn some martial arts."

"Oh?"

Lianzang showed a look of surprise.

Gu Mao Ning is a divine physician from Shennong Kingdom, so his medical skills are naturally beyond question. It's no exaggeration to say that if he can't cure an illness, it's either because there's not enough time.

Otherwise, it would be tantamount to the King of Hell nodding in approval and sentencing someone to death.

Medical skills require accumulation and there's no such thing as talent. But then again, if you're willing to put in the effort and have a sharp mind, you can accumulate knowledge quickly.

Gu Mao Ning's statement was certainly not unfounded.

Lianzang stepped forward, looked Qin Ming over carefully, and smiled, "Are you interested in martial arts? Have you practiced them?"

"I've practiced the basics."

Qin Ming raised his hand, and a faint aura of true energy appeared in his palm, turning blue.

In addition to various treatment methods, Gu Mao Ning also knows some qi-cultivation techniques, one of which is the "Hundred Herbs Qi-Regulating Technique," the only method related to martial arts.

Unfortunately, they have almost no combat capability.

But its effects are actually quite incredible.

The simplest and most obvious benefit of this skill is its extremely fast energy regulation, which, in short, means a faster recovery speed after an injury.

After mastering the technique, one can directly use internal energy to mobilize acupoints throughout the body, limbs, and bones, achieving an effect that is almost immune to most toxins.

And if one could reach the highest tenth level, that would be even more extraordinary.

It can prolong life...

"Oh?"

Lianzang looked at the true energy in Qin Ming's hand with some surprise, and gave him a meaningful look.

Although it's nothing to him, this internal strength is quite formidable.

He smiled and suddenly said, "Alright then, come back to the Heavenly Lotus Sect with me, and I'll introduce you to the sect."

Gu Mao Ning, who had just turned around and walked to the door, stopped in her tracks.

"Don't go."

Lianzang, "Uh..."

"Why?"

"The Heavenly Lotus Sect has too many rules; I don't like them."

"Haha, actually I don't like it either."

Lian Cang didn't mind, he just smiled. The more one's mind is purified and desireless in the Heavenly Lotus Sect's cultivation methods, the more conducive it is to the advancement of the cultivation methods. Therefore, the sect rules are strict and cannot be violated.

He rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment before sighing slightly. "Alright, since I've already agreed to give you some pointers, I'll do so. But let me make it clear first, I won't teach you any of the Heavenly Lotus Sect's techniques."

"Thank you."

Lian Cang looked at Qin Ming, who had a calm expression, and muttered, "I feel like you're actually quite suitable to join the Heavenly Lotus Sect. Really, why don't you consider it? Handsome?"

"I won't consider it, thank you."

He couldn't even consider that the rules of the Heavenly Lotus Sect were too outrageous. They were indeed very strong, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't violate the rule against dating alone.

How can a person be completely without emotions and desires? That's utter nonsense.

The key point is that this is not targeted at those with talent, but is applied equally to everyone, even the most junior disciples must abide by it, and the punishment for violations is the same.

Moreover, it seems that even if there are feelings involved, one can still practice.

Isn't this like a secret manual starting with "To practice this divine skill, one must castrate oneself," only to have the last page contain nothing?

"Success is possible without castration!"

Therefore, Qin Ming said, "I can't practice, I can't practice even a little bit."
