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

Chapter 120: Action! Astonishing the Medicine Hall [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

All sentient beings, with their emotions and thoughts, their six senses impure, will generate inner demons and attract the invasion of outer demons.

Those who cultivate immortality by refining the pure Qi of heaven and earth are most likely to attract demons and become hosts for them. Once they fall into demonic ways, they become demonic entities knowing only slaughter and destruction.

Martial artists are different. By introducing baleful Qi into their bodies, they sever their path to immortality, but also make themselves 'demon-resistant'.

Generally, only when encountering excessively powerful demons can they invade martial masters.

However, in a body ravaged by fierce baleful Qi, it is difficult for demons to be born.

When a martial artist is successfully invaded by an outer demon, the usual outcome is a one-for-one exchange between the martial master and the demon.

If the demon is too powerful, far surpassing the martial master, even if it survives the impact of the terrifying baleful Qi, its realm will plummet, and it will be born into the world in an extremely weakened state.

Currently, Hong Tianbao is in such a situation, having encountered a powerful demon far exceeding his own capabilities.

With blood-red eyes, surrounded by murderous intent, he recognizes no one.

Clearly, his inner demons have arisen, revealing flaws, allowing an outer demon to invade, causing him to become possessed.

The current situation is extremely dangerous.

If things go wrong, Hong Tianbao's life will be in danger.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah~”

During the fight, Hong Tianbao roared madly, and a solid, blood-colored fist aura erupted from his fist.

“Bang!”

This punch was a fearless one, ignoring Hong Tianxiao's attack and striking his elder brother.

Hong Tianxiao couldn't bring himself to strike his younger brother severely, fighting with his hands tied. Hesitating, he was caught off guard, and the powerful fist aura struck his chest, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the distant wall, scattering bricks and stones.

Fortunately, Hong Tianxiao had successfully cultivated body-refining hard skills, and his physical body was strong. After taking this punch, he grunted and stood up again, continuing to engage in the entangled fight.

“Brother Hong, this won’t do. We have to strike hard and break the blood-fiend demon aura on his body. Otherwise, if we delay any longer, the demonic influence will deepen, and your brother will surely die.”

Tong Yuncong's expression was urgent, and he was fighting quite awkwardly.

The two were fighting Hong Tianbao, and they had concerns in their hearts, so they never went all out. Tong Yuncong, who was proficient in swordsmanship, didn't even draw his sword, only using his fists and feet.

Fighting with such restraint, they couldn't subdue the possessed and frenzied Hong Tianbao at all.

Hong Tianxiao took a heavy punch and seemed fine, but he was actually internally injured. He suppressed the injury to maintain his martial power, and now he agreed with Tong Yuncong's judgment.

His younger brother was deeply possessed. If this continued, in at most a quarter of an hour, the demonic thoughts would invade his mind, devour his soul, and it would all be too late.

Striking hard might injure his younger brother, but it was better than watching him lose his soul.

“Please help me, Junior Brother Tong!”

As he spoke, Hong Tianxiao drew a dark and heavy long staff from behind, pouring true Qi into it, condensing Qi into Gang, and sweeping the staff aura.

Clearly, he was getting serious.

Seeing this, Tong Yuncong breathed a sigh of relief and drew his saber.

With the precious saber in hand, Tong Yuncong seemed like a different person, his aura suddenly becoming sharp.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

“Boom!”

The three on the field got serious, and the commotion of the fight suddenly increased a lot, making the scene very grand.

Qiu Zhen and Yu Lanyin drove away the crowd of onlookers from the Guangling Medicine Hall to avoid accidental injuries.

After about a few dozen breaths, when the two turned back, the commotion in the courtyard had subsided a lot.

The blood-colored demon aura around Hong Tianbao's body was broken, and he had more than a dozen saber marks and staff injuries on his body. Blood stained his clothes red, and some wounds even revealed his white bones, making him look extremely miserable and on the verge of death.

Even though Hong Tianbao had suffered such heavy injuries, Tong Yuncong and Hong Tianxiao didn't dare to be careless. They sealed Hong Tianxiao's acupoints and bound him with refined iron chains, trapping him firmly.

“Junior Sister Yu, quickly, quickly, quickly, save my brother!”

Hong Tianxiao, who was over forty years old, was usually domineering and headstrong, with a tough style, but at this moment his face was full of panic.

He was a martial arts fanatic, fond of bravery and fighting. Although he came from the Medicine King Valley, he didn't have much achievement in medicine. His level was just that of an ordinary doctor, and he was powerless in the face of his younger brother's situation, completely losing his mind.

Tong Yuncong was no exception. He possessed the [Saber Soul] spirit body and was obsessed with the way of the saber, not interested in anything else.

For a time, the two who had subdued Hong Tianbao all focused their attention on Yu Lanyin.

Yu Lanyin possessed the [Hundred Herb Spirit Fragrance] physique, naturally affinity with herbs, which was extremely compatible with the Medicine King Valley's martial arts. She herself also devoted herself to medicine, and her medical skills were extremely superb.

Even her always strict master, An Jishi, highly recognized Yu Lanyin's medical skills.

“First take him to the nearby clinic.”

Yu Lanyin ordered the two to take Hong Tianbao to the clinic for a diagnosis:

“The injuries on his body are not serious, it doesn’t matter, I will exorcise and remove the demons for him!”

Saying that, Yu Lanyin acted decisively, taking out Yin needles from the bag behind her, and without saying a word, she began to exorcise the evil.

The needle technique was also the [Taiyi Exorcising Divine Needles].

However, when Yu Lanyin set up the array, true Qi was poured in, and the silver needles faintly surrounded a pure Qi, exuding a fresh herbal fragrance.

This was the magical aspect of the [Hundred Herb Spirit Fragrance].

This Hundred Herb Spirit Fragrance pure Qi had the wonderful effect of healing injuries and exorcising evil. Even though it was the same [Taiyi Exorcising Needle Technique], its power was much greater in her hands.

It is said that Yu Lanyin had once dispelled a 'demon general' for a congenital martial master.

In the way of exorcising evil and removing demons, Yu Lanyin was definitely a master in this field.

“Puff!”

Unlike applying needles to ordinary patients, after becoming possessed, there was a rejection of the outside world, and evil demonic Qi raged inside, making the application much more difficult.

Even with Yu Lan Yin's status as a congenital expert, the process of applying the needles was difficult. On one hand, she had to break through Hong Tianbao's protective Qi, and on the other hand, she had to fight the demon within him. The process was extremely arduous.

Before long, fine beads of sweat appeared on Yu Lan Yin's forehead, her fair face turned slightly pale, and her hands trembled slightly as she worked:

"It's bad. Senior Brother Tianbao is deeply possessed. This demon general is too powerful. Its demonic thoughts are as solid as a 'Day Wandering God' realm cultivator. Even with my 'Hundred Herb Spirit Incense,' I can't do anything about it."

"This"…

Second Senior Brother Tong Yuncong was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised.

He knew his junior sister's medical skills better than anyone else. Many seniors in the sect were inferior to her.

Now, she was also helpless.

"Quick, quick, quickly go and invite Martial Uncle, the Sect Leader!"

Hong Tianxiao muttered to himself, but he couldn't continue after saying half of it.

Guangling City was dozens of miles away from the sect's base. It was too late to fetch water from afar to put out a fire. His little brother was deeply possessed and could be devoured by the demon at any time.

By the time the seniors from the sect arrived, his little brother's body would probably be cold.

At this moment, the situation was urgent. Saying it was like a fire burning one's eyebrows was an understatement.

"No, no, no, Junior Sister Yu, try again."

Hong Tianxiao looked anxious and helpless, staring intently at Yu Lan Yin, treating her as his last straw. This tough man's face was full of pleading:

"I only have this one younger brother. Please, Junior Sister Yu, trouble yourself and try again."

"Senior Brother Tianxiao, don't worry."

Yu Lan Yin comforted him, then turned her gaze to Qiu Zhen. Thinking of something, her face lit up with surprise:

"Junior Brother, try first. I'll adjust my breathing and recuperate for a while."

Hong Tianxiao and Tong Yuncong were slightly surprised to hear this.

They knew that Qiu Zhen was also good at exorcism, but subconsciously, they didn't put Qiu Zhen on the same level as Yu Lan Yin.

After all, the main reason Chang Le Prefecture invited Qiu Zhen to exorcise evil spirits was because he was "cheap."

They were very puzzled, but neither of them said anything.

After all, it was just letting Junior Brother Qiu try.

Right now, the situation was urgent and there was no other way. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, Hong Tianxiao was willing to try. He cupped his fist and said:

"Junior Brother Qiu, please save my brother."

"Senior Brother Tianxiao, rest assured."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly.

In fact, he had been ready to take action for a long time.

However, a doctor doesn't knock on the door himself.

Hong Tianxiao initially asked his senior sister Yu Lan Yin, so he naturally didn't want to take the initiative to speak up.

Now that the situation was deadlocked and everyone was asking him, he simply went along with the flow and took action to exorcise the evil spirits.

After Qiu Zhen finished speaking, he didn't delay any further and glanced outside the courtyard.

"Little Jujube!"

"Young Master, I'm here."

The next moment, a stream of emerald light flew out of the house.

Initially, the emerald light was in the shape of a tall tree stump, but as it flew into the house, it transformed into a palm-sized, emerald-green needle in the blink of an eye.

"Zzzzzz!"

Faintly, there was even lightning flashing.

"Little Wood Sprite, Jiamu Yang Lightning…"

Tong Yuncong knew that his junior brother had a Jiamu Yang Lightning little tree sprite at the level of a congenital demon general. A few days ago, his junior brother had even given him spirit dates.

However, he never expected that this little tree sprite would have the ability to "change size at will," and would actually transform into a lightning needle.

Lightning was the most effective against evil spirits.

"Junior Brother Qiu really has a trick up his sleeve."

Hong Tianxiao had originally thought of it as grasping at straws and didn't dare to have too much hope. But seeing the lightning needle made by the wood sprite, he immediately felt a surge of hope.

For a time, everyone's eyes fell on Qiu Zhen.

Qiu Zhen didn't show any timidity. He twirled the lightning needle in his hand, sized up Hong Tianbao, and saw the place where the demonic energy was the strongest. Without saying a word, he applied the needle.

Compared to the difficulties Senior Sister Yu Lan Yin had when applying the needles, he seemed to be handling it with ease.

As soon as the lightning needle arrived, it instantly broke through Hong Tianbao's blood-colored protective Qi.

Then, there was a "zzzz" sound.

The rolling power of thunder poured into his body along the lightning needle.

Immediately afterward, a powerful martial intent enveloped the entire area, attracting everyone's attention.

However, in reality, Qiu Zhen's divine sense poured into the lightning needle. Before long, he searched Hong Tianbao's body and found a terrifying demon general covered in demonic Qi.

The demon general smelled the aura of "divine sense" and was overjoyed.

A demon entering a martial artist's body was, to some extent, a dead end, and the consequences were dire.

As soon as it smelled the aura of "divine sense," it went crazy and fearlessly rushed into the rolling thunder.

After a moment, the demon general, braving the rolling power of thunder, poured into Little Jujube's body.

However, as soon as it entered Little Jujube's body, it immediately regretted it.

The reason was simple: Little Jujube's main body was a warding-off-evil divine wood. When a demon entered a warding-off-evil divine wood, warding-off-evil divine thunder was everywhere, turning it into a turtle in a jar.

This time, the demon general undoubtedly threw itself into the net, tired of living.

Before long, Qiu Zhen skillfully sealed the demon general in the warding-off-evil divine wood and casually pulled out the needle.

As the "lightning needle" was pulled out, the demon left the body.

The next moment, Hong Tianbao underwent a clear change.

Although demonic energy still lingered around him, his crimson eyes returned to normal, and the madness and bloodlust in his pupils faded away, replaced by confusion and blankness.

Soon, his body went limp and he fell into a deep sleep.

"This is…"

Hong Tianxiao, Tong Yuncong, and even Yu Lan Yin in the room were all filled with surprise and… disbelief.

With their keen eyes, they could tell at a glance that Hong Tianbao had been saved.

From Qiu Zhen's action to the end, it only took a dozen breaths…

This method could be called bringing the dead back to life.
