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

The old residence of the Qiu family.

The old patriarch Qiu and six white-haired elders sat in the house, their expressions solemn.

"Xiao Zhen, after discussion, the clansmen have made a decision: move. It's better to move sooner rather than later."

After making this major decision, the old patriarch Qiu sighed in relief, his face full of complex emotions as he looked at the young man before him.

Even now, he still didn't approve of Qiu Zhen's actions. Whether it was withholding wages to practice martial arts or taking his parents and brothers out of Qiu Family Village after becoming a martial master, these were not good things for the "clan," they were acts of "digging up roots."

If the children in the village were to imitate Qiu Zhen in the future, the hearts of the Qiu Family Village would be scattered.

After all, not all the children in the clan are as intelligent and hardworking as Qiu Zhen, able to become martial masters.

If they are neither good at writing nor martial arts, and their hearts are scattered, it won't be long before Qiu Family Village declines.

Originally, Qiu Family Village didn't plan to have too much interaction with Qiu Zhen's family. The Qiu family members would live their own lives in Haitang Township. At most, this generation of clansmen would interact, and after one or two generations, the relationship would become distant.

However, things are unpredictable.

A beast calamity suddenly struck.

The old patriarch Qiu took a deep breath and said to Qiu Zhen:

"Xiao Zhen, we don't have any connections or friendships in Qingmu Town. We're completely clueless. In the future, when we move to Qingmu, we'll have to rely on you to take care of us."

"Old patriarch, you're too kind."

Qiu Zhen guessed that the old patriarch was both apprehensive and embarrassed, yet had to ask for his help, and secretly found it amusing:

"Don't worry, you all watched me grow up, and you know my character. Perhaps in your eyes, I may be independent and unconventional, but I'm not an unfeeling person. We're from the same clan, from the same village. If there's anything good, I'll definitely think of you. For example, this time, as soon as I got the news, I rushed to Qiu Family Village."

After he finished speaking, the elders all nodded in unison, saying kind words.

Most of them were asking Qiu Zhen for help and care, adopting a very humble attitude.

This made Qiu Zhen quite satisfied.

It wasn't so much that he was triumphant, but that he was very satisfied with the attitude of the Qiu family members.

As the saying goes, a doctor doesn't knock on doors; you have to invite him.

Qiu Zhen had lived two lives and joined the Medicine King Valley, and he understood this rule deeply. He knew how to act appropriately.

This time, although he intended to have Qiu Family Village move into "Qiu Zhen Valley" to provide cover for his blessed land, the essence of it was that he was taking care of his clansmen and considering the future of the Qiu Family Village.

If they didn't move sooner and secure a good spot early, once the refugees gathered in Qingmu Town from all directions, the Qiu family members wouldn't even get a sip of soup.

If they listened to the government's arrangements, who knows what remote and desolate land they would assign to Qiu Family Village.

Not to mention, the feng shui around the blessed land was extremely good.

Even if they didn't live in the core blessed land, moving to the surrounding area would accumulate blessings for future generations.

The Qiu family villagers living in the blessed land would be nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, becoming strong, healthy, long-lived, and blessed. The children born in the future would be even stronger and smarter, with many benefits.

He came to Qiu Family Village to give the Qiu family members a chance, to help them.

Therefore, he didn't appear too eager, but simply stated the facts, letting the old patriarch, elders, and clansmen discuss it themselves.

If he had facilitated it all single-handedly, trying his best to persuade them, it would have looked like he was begging the Qiu family members to go.

If there were any twists and turns along the way, any troubles, or any discomforts after moving to Qingmu, and the Qiu family members came to him, wouldn't that be extremely annoying?

It was the Qiu family members who were asking him to do things, seeking his help and hoping he would take care of them, not him acting as a nanny or servant for the Qiu family members, busying himself without getting any thanks.

Doing things is like buttoning the first button on your clothes; you can't be wrong from the start.

Fortunately, the old patriarch and elders of the Qiu family were quite sensible, and there were no ignorant people to disgust him.

In a rural clan society, the patriarch and elders had great power. After they made a decision, Qiu Family Village began to pack their luggage and belongings, and the whole village was busy with the relocation.

During this period, Qiu Zhen went to the karst cave in the back mountain and saw the "ferocious beast meat" that was said to be contaminated with evil demons by the villagers.

After searching, he didn't find any other immortal opportunities.

Clearly, the Yin demon had refined and swallowed the immortal opportunity, and the ferocious beast was just an ordinary ferocious beast.

The setting sun cast its glow.

Hundreds of people from Qiu Family Village, supporting the old and carrying the young, pushing ox carts and flatbed carts, and pulling livestock, arrived in a mighty procession at the outskirts of Qingmu City.

To their surprise, after the Qiu family members arrived at the outskirts of Qingmu City, they were shocked to find that a group of refugees had already poured into the outskirts of Qingmu City.

Seeing this scene, the Qiu family members were greatly surprised, feeling both fortunate and nervous.

The old patriarch Qiu hurriedly came to Qiu Zhen and asked:

"Xiao Zhen, what should we do now?"

Qiu Zhen wasn't surprised at all that refugees were pouring into Qingmu.

"Patriarch, first come, first served. Let's find a place to settle down first. I have a place with very good feng shui."

The old patriarch Qiu nodded repeatedly.

In the wilderness, people who fight wild beasts for survival have never been so law-abiding. In addition, they didn't know much about Qingmu City, so the Qiu family members trusted Qiu Zhen's words and followed his lead.

This saved Qiu Zhen the cost of explaining.

That day, he took hundreds of Qiu family members to the wasteland near "Qiu Zhen Valley."

This place was quite far from Qingmu City, and the refugees were still focused on the outskirts of Qingmu City, so no refugees coveted this treasure land.

The Qiu Family Village settled here very smoothly, without any twists and turns.

Qiu Zhen asked for a large piece of land around "Qiu Zhen Valley," and then had the villagers develop and cultivate the land around "Qiu Zhen Valley."

Setting up camp, arranging fences and traps...

The Qiu family members were very skilled, their movements were extremely swift, and with the patriarch and elders directing, the whole village was in order, working enthusiastically.

Qiu Zhen didn't have to worry too much.

A valley slope, the moonlight dim, the villagers busy non-stop.

"Xiao Zhen, this place is good. Although it's a bit far from Qingmu City, there's a lot of flat land to cultivate and farm. We'll have to endure some hardship for the first two years, but in the future, our lives will definitely get better and better."

The old patriarch Qiu came to Qiu Zhen and said in a rather optimistic tone.

Or rather, living in this era, people who aren't optimistic can only face it optimistically.

Qiu Zhen said without showing any emotion:

"Patriarch, don't you mind that this place is too far from Qingmu City?"

The old patriarch Qiu shook his head: "No, no, everyone goes to grab the good things. This kind of land that's neither good nor bad is the best."

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly. The old patriarch's knowledge and way of thinking may be that of a genuine rural farmer, but he wasn't lacking in the wisdom to see through things.

"It's great that you think so. This beast tide has affected most of Changle Prefecture, and there's a flood of refugees. Even this piece of land, I'm afraid it won't be easy to occupy."

The old patriarch Qiu frowned slightly upon hearing this, and then said solemnly:

"Xiao Zhen, the villagers will pool some money. You take it and use it to grease the palms of the superiors."

"Yes, you prepare it first. Later, I'll grease the palms of the officials, and I'll also ask someone to help."

As Qiu Zhen spoke, he had an idea in his mind.

The preliminary preparations for taking down the blessed land were done. Whether he could take it down or not depended on whether Apothecary An was willing to help.

"I wonder, what is my weight in Apothecary An's heart now..."
