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

Qiu Zhen possessed the supernatural power of 【Thousand-Mile Eyes】, capable of distant viewing.

He recognized it at a glance.

The red light in the dark clouds was not some "Red Sun" at all, but clearly the eyes of some great demon, bright and terrifying beyond compare.

Focusing his gaze and peering closely,

he realized that it was an enormous python coiled around a towering green peak, battling and fighting with some terrifying entity in the rolling dark clouds.

Balls of fire soared into the sky.

One side was filled with rolling dark clouds, the other with burning fire clouds.

The two great demons fought and battled, causing the world to change color.

“Boom boom boom ~”

“Run!”

Qiu Zhen's expression changed slightly, with no intention of staying to watch the excitement.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

With his current level of cultivation, he was no different from a mortal in the face of these two terrifying great demons, and even a slight ripple of the battle could cost him his life.

A hundred miles was not too far for the great demons.

During the battle, with a few movements, they could be right in front of him.

Only by running back to the territory of the human race could he be safe.

Immediately, without saying a word, he didn't look back, carrying the Azure Ox ferocious beast and running towards Qingmu Town, his legs moving with afterimages.

About half an hour later,

Qiu Zhen sped all the way, not stopping at all, and ran all the way to "Qiu Zhen Valley".

After resting in "Qiu Zhen Valley" for a while, seeing that there was no movement outside, Qiu Zhen carried the Azure Ox ferocious beast out of the valley and headed towards Qingmu Town.

“Look! Martial Master Qiu has hunted another ferocious beast.”

“Oh my, such a big Azure Ox, this animal must weigh over a thousand pounds.”

“Shot to death with one arrow, such amazing archery skills, tsk tsk, the younger generation is to be feared.”

Qiu Zhen carrying the Azure Ox ferocious beast to the market outside the city immediately caused a commotion, with countless commoners and merchants gathering to watch the excitement.

Among them, there were also martial masters with high martial arts skills, who greeted Qiu Zhen with envy and jealousy.

“Good heavens, an Azure Ox ferocious beast, this is a valuable commodity, Brother Qiu has made a fortune, it's almost comparable to the harvest of our entire beast hunting team for a month.”

“That's right, Brother Qiu, take the brothers to make a fortune next time.”

“Easy, easy, definitely next time.”

Qiu Zhen smiled and greeted the fellow martial masters who were hunting for treasures, saying meaningless polite words to cope, and went straight to the slaughterhouse in the western suburbs outside the city.

“Slaughterhouse” as the name suggests, is a place specifically responsible for slaughtering livestock.

Some small counties do not have a special “Slaughterhouse”, but Qingmu Town, as a commercially developed market town, has one, and it is not small in scale.

In addition to the “Slaughter” business, the slaughterhouse also has many merchants who purchase wild animal meat and ferocious beast meat.

Qiu Zhen's arrival at the slaughterhouse immediately caused a sensation, with many merchants and wealthy households coming forward to ask if he was selling.

He refused them all and went straight to the backyard of a slaughter stall.

“Brother Zhen ~”

“Such a big ferocious beast!”

A group of shop assistants surrounded him, looking at the Azure Ox and exclaiming in amazement.

“Where is Steward An? Is he at the market?”

“Yes, he probably went to buy medicinal herbs, a shop assistant has gone to call him.”

“Okay ~”

Qiu Zhen nodded, the slaughter stall in front of him was set up by the An family.

The An family has many people, and the meat they supply every day is a considerable amount, so the An family specifically set up a slaughter stall.

In the past month, the ferocious beasts he harvested from hunting, except for what he ate himself, were all sold to the An family.

About half a quarter of an hour later.

“Xiao Zhen.”

An Kang hurried over, and at a glance, he saw the Azure Ox ferocious beast lying on the ground in the courtyard with an arrow in its neck, with a look of surprise:

“Shot to death with one arrow, such amazing archery skills.”

As a Xiantian martial artist, it was not difficult for him to do what he saw before him, but for a Houtian martial master, it was a bit amazing.

An Kang turned his head in surprise and looked at Qiu Zhen:

“Did you hunt it?”

“Yeah ~”

Qiu Zhen nodded, without elaborating on how he hunted it, and asked expectantly:

“Steward An, how many copper coins do you think this Azure Ox is worth?”

Steward An glanced at it, pondered for a moment, and said:

“For the meat price, one hundred taels of silver, what do you think?”

“Okay!”

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly, which was about the same as his estimate.

The beef of ferocious beasts is valuable, and it is no problem to sell it for more than one hundred copper coins per catty.

However, the meat yield of cattle is not as high as that of pigs, only 30% to 60%.

This Azure Ox weighs more than a thousand catties, so it is indeed more than one hundred taels of silver.

Offering one hundred taels is very fair.

Specific estimation is a very deep knowledge.

In the market, there is a profession of “pig adjuster”, who relies on estimating the meat yield of "meat pigs" and "meat sheep", buying and selling to make money, relying entirely on eyesight.

The two were very straightforward and didn't say much.

“Tsk tsk tsk ~ This cowhide is good!”

An Kang turned the Azure Ox over, and seeing that there were no other wounds except for the arrow wound on its neck, he nodded repeatedly:

“Xiao Zhen, are you selling the cowhide? This cowhide is much more valuable than beef.”

“Of course, I'm selling it.”

After Qiu Zhen finished speaking, he thought of something and said:

“However, I want a set of cowhide armor”

“Easy to say, our An family has armor-making craftsmen, when the Azure Ox leather armor is made, I'll give you a set.”

After An Kang finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and then said:

“In addition, I will give you another two hundred taels of silver, a total of three hundred taels, what do you think?”

“Okay!”

Qiu Zhen agreed readily.

While speaking, a group of shop assistants carried the Azure Ox into the slaughterhouse in the backyard.

An Kang led Qiu Zhen to sit down in the side room of the front yard and treated him with good tea:

“Xiao Zhen, you must have saved a lot of money in the past month, enough to buy fields and land, settle your parents and brothers, and in the future, you should go to the outer edges of the mountains less for hunting treasures. If you are not careful, you will encounter powerful demons, and it will be too late to regret.”

An Kang was quite emotional when he said this.

Before, he had inquired about Qiu Zhen's background and unexpectedly learned that Qiu Zhen was the "unfilial son" in the mouths of the villagers.

At first, he was a little surprised, but after inquiring carefully and learning the reasons, he appreciated Qiu Zhen even more.

And in the past month, Qiu Zhen took the risk of entering the mountains to hunt for treasures and earn silver coins in order to pick up his family, which he also saw in his eyes.

“Yeah ~ I know, I won't go in the future.”

Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly.

After seeing the shocking scene of the terrifying great demons fighting and battling on the outer edge of the mountain, he would definitely not go there in a short time.

After speaking, he weighed it up and felt that witnessing the scene of the great demons fighting and battling was a very important piece of information.

Immediately, he did not hide anything and told the whole story.

“There is such a thing.”

An Kang was also taken aback when he heard this, and his expression was a little serious:

“This matter is no small matter, I will immediately report it to the young master.”

After speaking, An Kang left without even drinking his tea.

“If the sky falls, there will be a tall one to hold it up, I don't need to worry about it.”

Qiu Zhen felt quite good after revealing the news, took the silver note, and left the slaughterhouse straight away.

It was still early, and he planned to go to the An family's library to read some more books.

Moving to the city gate.

“Brother Zhen ~ You're finally back.”

Qiu Zhen fixed his eyes and looked over, and the people who came were actually Zhao Dou and Shen Liang.

“Big Head, Skinny Monkey, what happened?”

“Brother Zhen, Steward Kang said early in the morning that he had something urgent to find you, saying that there was progress on the matter.”
