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

Chapter 123: Breakthrough! Body Condenses True Qi, Manifesting Divine Day Trip

Chang Le Prefecture, Demon Suppression Division, Qingmu Garrison, backyard study.

“Jade Purity Inner Minister, Golden Tower Choosing Immortals. Transforming into the Teacher of the Three Religions, commanding the Five Thunders. Yellow Millet Dream Awakens... Pure Yang Yan Zheng, Alerting and Supporting Emperor Lord, Prospering the Wondrous Dao Heavenly Venerate.”

Wei Tan held the dossier in his hand, reciting the precious edict, his expression solemn:

“The Qingmu territory is indeed extraordinary now, unexpectedly producing such a great immortal opportunity, the immortal opportunity of Pure Yang Emperor Lord Lu Zu.”

Lin Shoulong sat in the guest seat, flipping through the dossier casually.

After the last "Demon Suppression Division turmoil," he was demoted by the imperial court, losing his position as deputy commander and being reduced to a centurion. However, in reality, his duties were not affected in the slightest.

He does the same things as before, there is no difference at all.

In fact, sometimes, his words are more useful in the Demon Suppression Division.

The reason is simple: he suffered grievances and shared hardships together. Wei Tan regarded him as one of his own and trusted him even more.

These days, Lin Shoulong became more and more familiar with his superior Wei Tan, and immediately asked:

“Commander, who is this Immortal Lu Zu? You value him so much.”

“You can get a glimpse of the clues by looking at the precious edict.”

Wei Tan sighed with emotion:

“Lu Zu was a top-notch immortal in the ancient heavenly court, a favorite in front of Dao Ancestor and the Jade Emperor, an immortal chosen before the Golden Tower Palace, with a high position and great power. He was the patriarch of the Dan Ding Sect in the ancient cultivation world, and his inheritance contains supreme alchemy mysteries and is also known as a Sword Immortal.”

“Having obtained the inheritance of this Lu Zu, one may easily produce a cultivation old monster, and also a Sword Immortal expert who is good at killing.”

Wei Tan came from a high background and was knowledgeable, speaking eloquently.

Upon seeing the "Lu Zu Precious Edict," he associated it with the subsequent scene of a high-level cultivator obtaining Lu Zu's inheritance.

“This…”

Lin Shoulong's expression also became solemn.

For the local Demon Suppression Division, having a case is a good thing.

The more important the case, the greater the merit.

Once caught, it is a great fortune.

It's just that a few days ago, they were reprimanded by the imperial court, and even demoted. It was time to clamp their tails, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

If something goes wrong again, even Wei Tan, who comes from the Wei family in the capital, may not be able to withstand it.

“Commander, this kind of great immortal opportunity may attract countless cultivation experts and must be treated with caution. Our Demon Suppression Division is currently being watched by outsiders and must not be careless.”

“I know.”

Wei Tan nodded.

Now, the Qingmu territory has undergone great changes, with countless opportunities to make contributions. Many powerful people are eyeing the position of commander of the Chang Le Prefecture Demon Suppression Division, waiting for Wei Tan to make a mistake so that he can roll back to the capital and be replaced.

“I will write a letter to General Yulong later and ask Uncle to send a group of experts to suppress the situation.”

Lin Shoulong looked delighted, this was very good.

Wei Tan's expression was calm.

Coming from the Wei family in the capital, the biggest advantage is the network of relationships accumulated by the family for generations, which allows him to be more comfortable when working in the local area.

Many things are extremely difficult for Lin Shoulong, but for him, many times it is just a matter of opening his mouth.

Of course, using family connections also requires a sense of propriety and must be used at critical moments.

It is best if the matter of request can have a win-win situation.

In this way, using favors can not only accomplish things but also establish one's own favors, killing two birds with one stone.

Now, the Lu Zu immortal opportunity in Qingmu is such an opportunity.

“Shoulong, these days, you send people to keep an eye on the blood corpse evil cases that have appeared in various places, and don't let go of any clues. This battle is our battle to turn over, and we must not fail!”

“Yes!”

Qingmu City, far suburbs, a small village near the mountains.

An old man with a white beard, like an old farmer in the field, was sitting cross-legged in a dilapidated thatched hut, meditating and entering samadhi, with a calm expression.

Suddenly, he pinched his fingers repeatedly, perhaps calculating something, and suddenly opened his eyes, and said lightly:

“Come in!”

“Greetings, Elder Bi You!”

In broad daylight, in the courtyard outside the house, a figure appeared out of thin air, changing from illusion to reality, revealing its figure.

Looking like a ghost, his body was a little illusory and ethereal. In the scorching sun, there was not even a shadow.

However, he appeared in the scorching sun openly.

This is the "Yin God" refining the innate qi and achieving the "Day Trip God", without the aid of any magical instruments or treasures, able to walk in the scorching sun, unafraid of the violent wind and scorching sun.

When a cultivator reaches this step, he has initially stepped into the "Realm of Freedom."

The risk of the Yin God traveling hundreds or thousands of miles is greatly reduced. Without leaving home, one can travel the world and be free with the Yin God.

Elder Bi You lowered his eyes and glanced at the "Day Trip God" appearing in front of him, and asked in a deep voice:

“How is it? Have you found the whereabouts of Daoist Murong?”

“Not yet.”

After the Day Trip God finished speaking, he thought of something, his expression excited:

“However, it is not without gain. In the process of tracking down the blood corpse, I caught a disciple of the Mu Kui Sect. After some interrogation, the Mu Kui Sect disciple confessed that Daoist Murong is suspected of being possessed by demons. Moreover, I also found clues to the Lu Zu immortal opportunity.”

“What!”

Elder Bi You was taken aback and couldn't believe it:

“Is this true? Daoist Murong is possessed by demons?”

“Whether he is possessed by demons or died, the disciple does not know. However, the Lu Zu immortal opportunity is of great importance. If Daoist Murong had no accident, this immortal opportunity could not have appeared for no reason. Moreover, it seems that there is more than one clue to the immortal opportunity, attracting movement from all directions.”

“Yes, that makes sense.”

Elder Bi You nodded in agreement.

As a cultivator, he naturally knows the name of Lu Zu. This kind of top-level immortal opportunity, as long as there is no problem with oneself, it is impossible to throw it out as bait at will and play tricks.

After all, Mu Rong Daoist was only at the 【Qi Manipulation and Spirit Travel】 realm, not an old monster of immortal cultivation who had awakened his primordial spirit. He didn't have the qualifications or the strength to abandon a top-tier immortal opportunity to set up a scheme.

Not being an "old monster of immortal cultivation" and setting up a scheme that caused such a big commotion, the result of overestimating one's abilities would inevitably be a complete failure, even to the point of being utterly destroyed.

"Since that's the case, our Myriad Immortals Alliance must get involved in this immortal opportunity."

Elder Bi You was decisive and immediately clarified the policy, but soon, he shook his head:

"It's a pity, this top-tier immortal opportunity has come at the wrong time. If we waited until Mei Qingshan refined the Divine Dragon and obtained the power of the Mountain God, with his help, this top-tier Lu Zu immortal opportunity would all be ours."

The Day Wandering God was moved in his heart:

"Elder, what is Mei Qingshan's current cultivation situation?"

"He has no bottlenecks before entering the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm. He can refine the divine power, and in less than a year, his cultivation will probably surpass yours."

Elder Bi You shook his head as he said this:

"Originally, things were going very smoothly, but unfortunately, he insisted on finding Qiu Zhen in advance. Finding him is fine, but he relied on his strength to bully the weak and actually lost, reducing his Heavenly Mandate. His advancement to Martial Dao Grandmaster will probably experience some twists and turns."

Three days later, Qiu Family Village, Qiu Zhen Valley.

Bai Zhu sat in front of the medicine field, his chubby little hands propping up his cheeks, bored.

Xiao Zaozi, who was next to him, waved a tree branch to sweep the open space in front of the courtyard, sweeping it over and over again.

Even though it was born from wood essence and preferred quietness to activity, it had been squatting in the courtyard for several days in a row, and it was also a little bored.

However, the two little fellows didn't sneak out to play, and they guarded the courtyard meticulously.

"Xiao Zaozi, why don't you go to Guangling Medicine Hall. I guess Sister Yu is looking for you. I'll protect this place."

"Okay, Boss."

Xiao Zaozi nodded obediently, about to step out.

However, just as Xiao Zaozi took a step, it keenly sensed something and suddenly turned its head.

Bai Zhu, who was sitting bored, also stood up abruptly and looked back at the house.

In the next moment, the faces of the two little fellows were full of surprise.

The reason was none other than that a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the house, as if a calm lake suddenly had a strong wind, stirring up monstrous waves.

Even though the two of them were innate demon generals, under this terrifying and powerful aura, the two of them were like a small boat in a storm, subjected to impacts from all directions, causing them great pressure, and their faces were a little flushed.

However, their faces were full of excitement.

"Young Master has broken through!"

"Aww!"

"Aww roar roar!"

A dragon's roar and tiger's roar resounded throughout the valley.

A faint golden light shot out from the house.

Inside the house, Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged, and the innate true Qi emitting a faint golden light flowed throughout his body.

What was even more surprising was that the innate Qi on his body became more and more condensed.

Vaguely, it condensed as if it were substantial, making his whole person seem like a gilded immortal Buddha, appearing incomparably divine.

"Jade Liquid Golden Body!"

Qiu Zhen muttered to himself, his face full of excitement.

This was precisely the Martial Dao cultivation entering the Innate True Astral realm, the Yin and Yang of the Innate True Qi intertwined, transforming from illusion to reality, possessing the ability to condense Qi into Astral.

Cultivating to this step, his 【Nine Revolutions Returning Elixir Art】 could be considered to have cultivated to the point of mastery, cultivating the body-protecting True Astral 【Jade Liquid Golden Body】, the physical body and True Astral fused into one, completely like a whole, as if wearing armor, greatly improving his life-saving ability.

If he sacrificed his Yin Spirit, he would be a Day Wandering God, able to travel the world during the day.

"Finally become a master."

Qiu Zhen was quite satisfied in his heart.

Speaking of which, Hong Tianbao's strength was not bad, and he was already at the perfect Innate True Qi realm two years ago, but unfortunately, he was unable to break through for a long time, trapped in this step, wasting his years.

Compared to ordinary people, he possessed a Primordial Spirit Dharma Body, and the biggest hidden advantage was that he had fewer bottlenecks.

Even small realms basically had no bottlenecks.

Taking the spirit crystal saved the effort of hard cultivation. When the cultivation reached the point, breaking through the bottleneck and entering the middle stage of 【Refining Essence into Qi】 was a matter of course, with almost no difficulties.

"Congratulations, Young Master, on the great success of your divine skill!"

Bai Zhu brought Xiao Zaozi forward to congratulate him.

"Hehe ~"

Qiu Zhen was in a good mood and touched Xiao Zaozi's head.

Soon, he saw six groups of demonic thoughts from Xiao Zaozi's body.

"Recently, there are indeed many people in the medicine hall exorcising evil."

These days, Qiu Zhen was in seclusion, but he didn't waste the opportunity. He let Xiao Zaozi go to Guangling Medicine Hall by himself, and let Third Senior Sister Yu LanYin take him to exorcise evil, taking the opportunity to seal the demonic thoughts and bring them home.

Xiao Zaozi worked conscientiously, and in a few days, he brought home six groups of demonic thoughts.

"Xiao Zaozi, well done."

Qiu Zhen was very satisfied in his heart, and he took the six groups of demonic thoughts into his sea of consciousness.

The golden light enveloped them, instantly refining the little devils.

"Here, I'll reward you each with one."

Qiu Zhen passed over two clusters of spiritual energy essence.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Bai Zhu and Xiao Zaozi happily held the spiritual energy essence and swallowed it, with a look of joy.

"Young Master is so generous."

"Young Master is so good!"

Qiu Zhen smiled.

It wasn't that he was generous.

Right now, one of the two little fellows could find treasures and collect medicine, and the other could work to exorcise evil and earn spirit crystals. They were almost supporting him.

While thinking to himself, Qiu Zhen remembered the main business, and took out the 【Mi Luo Palace】 jade talisman from his arms, and probed his divine sense into it.

There were dozens of divine sense transmissions in the 【Mi Luo Palace】.

Some were transmitted by Fairy Yun Rou, and some were from Monk Zhen Kong.

He scanned through them one by one.

When his divine sense scanned the last two divine sense transmissions, Qiu Zhen was a little surprised and a little regretful:

"Yun Rou and Zhen Kong found the immortal opportunity yesterday, this…"
