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

In front of the Qiu Zhen Retreat, Qiu Zhen left a large open space, not cultivating it into a medicinal field.

This open space now came in handy.

In just a few days, a two-story stone altar rose from the ground.

The lower level was square, and the upper level was round, built of earth, with a total height of six feet, surrounded by flags made of five-colored silk.

On the altar table, paper horses, incense burners, talisman water, and so on were all complete.

Seeing the sky growing darker, Qiu Zhen immediately stepped onto the altar with measured steps, burning incense and purifying the altar with three incense talismans.

In the ancient cultivation world, performing rituals was much easier.

Once the incense was lit, the next step was to report to the ancestral master and inform the Heavenly Court, and then one could summon heavenly soldiers and generals, underworld deities, Fengdu ghost generals, and local community officials to the altar to await orders.

In this way, performing rituals could be described as "divinely aided," with vast supernatural powers.

In a sense, the ancient Taoists with Heavenly Court affiliations were spoon-fed by their ancestral masters.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and such good fortune is gone forever.

Nowadays, cultivators no longer cultivate "talismans" or sacrifice to "immortal deities within the talismans," but have basically returned to the "primitive" way, mainly sacrificing to the gods of heaven and earth.

"The talisman chapter is declared, the Thunder God knows, I consult your majestic spirit, listen to my commands."

Holding a wooden magic sword in one hand and forming a hand seal with the other, Qiu Zhen stepped according to the Dipper steps. After performing the ritual, he pointed the sword at the five-colored silk flags and shouted:

"Grant the sword the name Longevity, the Seven Stars fly to the Big Dipper, the ancestor of wind and thunder, the source of rain, listen to my commands, enter my altar!"

After chanting.

Qiu Zhen pointed the magic sword, and the thunder talisman in his hand ignited spontaneously without fire, pointing towards the sky.

"Boom!"

The thunder talisman transformed into a streak of lightning, soaring into the sky.

Then, it vanished in an instant, as if a firework had been set off, without causing any commotion.

However, Qiu Zhen keenly sensed with his divine sense and heavenly eye that the "thunder qi" in the heaven and earth was faintly becoming denser.

"Boom!"

In the sky, dark clouds rolled, and thunder rumbled.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhen was overjoyed. He immediately sat down and tried to absorb the thunder qi.

The art of talismans emphasizes "uniting my qi with the qi of heaven and earth, and uniting my spirit with the spirit of heaven and earth."

Ordinary cultivators, without cultivating the "yin spirit," have weak divine senses, and can at most "unite my qi with the qi of heaven and earth," transforming into magical talismans and spiritual talismans.

But if one wants to cultivate high-level thunder techniques like the [Golden Light Talisman Technique], one must cultivate the "yin spirit" in order to summon and refine thunder qi.

"I receive the qi of the Thunder Duke, the majestic sound of the Lightning Mother, to eliminate all diseases in my body, so that I can command the generals of the Five Elements, the soldiers of the Six Jia, cut off all evils, and exterminate all spirits, quickly, quickly, as the decree commands!"

As Qiu Zhen formed hand seals and chanted incantations, a powerful and vigorous aura surrounded him.

He did not miss the opportunity and immediately inhaled the thunder qi through his nose.

"Zizz zizz zizz ~"

The surrounding air crackled inexplicably.

His ears felt hot and wind was generated, clouds formed in his eyes, thunder rumbled in his abdomen, and sweat flowed like rain.

Immediately afterward, his whole body vibrated, and all his acupoints opened.

However, Qiu Zhen was completely unaware of all this. He was already in deep meditation, contemplating two thunder gods, one yin and one yang.

One in the heart, one in the kidneys, the heart and kidneys interacted, and water and fire were in harmony.

As the saying goes, Kan and Li mix to produce the Niwan, and the two Dippers illuminate the front of the neck.

In an instant, Qiu Zhen vaguely saw the phenomenon of "thunder and rain pouring" within his body.

Summer thunderstorms come quickly and go quickly.

Half an hour later.

The sky cleared, and the mountains and rivers were washed clean.

"Hoo ~"

Under the baptism of thunder and rain, Qiu Zhen was soaked all over, but he was in a very good mood.

In his sea of consciousness, three golden lights flashed, and thunder talismans born from thunder were suspended in the air, crackling.

It was the thunder technique [Golden Light Thunder Talisman].

Just now, he absorbed the thunder qi of heaven and earth, refined the yin and yang thunder gods, and cultivated these three [Golden Light Thunder Talismans].

"The aura seems to be a little weaker than described in the 'Qingwei Dan诀'."

Qiu Zhen carefully compared and had a clear understanding in his heart.

He could condense the "yin spirit" and cultivate, but after all, his cultivation level was a little low. The [Golden Light Thunder Talisman] he cultivated was weaker than normal, which was normal and not surprising.

Even the weakest [Golden Light Thunder Talisman] is a spell comparable to "innate martial arts," enough to threaten any martial artist or cultivator below the innate level.

At present, he can only refine three. As his cultivation improves in the future, there will naturally be more and more.

There is no need to worry about this.

"Having three more trump cards at once, I finally have the power to protect myself."

Qiu Zhen was quite satisfied in his heart.

"Ying ying ying ~"

Bai Shu trotted over, massaging Qiu Zhen's shoulders with reverence.

Demons are most afraid of thunder.

Just now, Bai Shu saw Qiu Zhen absorbing thunder qi and the scene of thunder striking him, which really scared it. In its mind, Qiu Zhen's image of a "god-man" became even more profound.

"In the future, don't 'ying ying ying'. You're a male fox, what's the point of 'ying ying ying' all day long."

Qiu Zhen shook his head.

These days, although he was focused on cultivating spells, he would still take time every day to go to the An family's library to read.

He didn't find any immortal techniques or wonderful methods, but he found many books on "physiognomy."

Among them, there were books on physiognomy of beasts and demons.

After browsing and learning, he came back and started trying the art of "physiognomy of beasts and demons."

He hadn't noticed before, but Bai Shu was actually a male fox.

The bloodline of the demon beast was also impure. It was not a strange beast or divine species, but just an ordinary demon beast descendant.

If it hadn't accidentally encountered a blessed treasure land, it might not have been able to become a demon beast.

Of course, after knowing the result, he was not disappointed.

If you casually pick up a demon beast in the mountains and it's a descendant of a divine beast or a unique species, that's a pipe dream, even harder than him encountering an immortal opportunity.

It's normal for Bai Shu to be an ordinary demon beast.

Moreover, in his eyes, bloodline and species don't matter.

The fact that Bai Shu chose to join him that day and made this decision meant that it would no longer be ordinary from now on.

Not to mention anything else, when he cultivates, Bai Shu follows beside him and benefits, its strength increases, and it becomes more intelligent and spiritual.

"You will become a great demon in the future!"

Bai Shu was excited: "Ying ying ying ~"

Qiu Zhen: "."

"Aww aww aww ~"

Bai Shu was extremely intelligent and knew that the god-man didn't like "ying ying ying", so it immediately turned into a dog's bark, gesticulating and constantly saying something.

"Go hunting fierce beasts?"

Qiu Zhen heard Bai Shu's suggestion, looked at the sky, and nodded slightly.

This time, he agreed with Bai Shu's proposal.

The [Golden Light Thunder Talisman] was cultivated, and he had a means of protecting his life. He finally had the capital to go deep into the mountains and forests.

In the deep mountains and forests, there are many fierce beasts, spiritual herbs, and precious medicines, with abundant resources.

As long as you have the strength, it is a great treasure mine.

He wanted to bring his parents and elder brother to the town. Buying a house and land was not a small amount, at least several hundred taels of silver.

For an ordinary first-level martial artist, it is not easy to save several hundred taels of silver.

Hunting fierce beasts to earn money is like licking blood from the tip of a knife, and few martial artists do this.

Qiu Zhen is different. He has the divine power of the heavenly eye, his archery skills are divine, he has Bai Shu as a scout, and now he has officially cultivated spells. Hunting fierce beasts to earn money is not too dangerous.
