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

To others, "demonic thoughts" and "devils" are synonymous with trouble and terror, and no one wants to provoke them.

However, for Qiu Zhen, it was different.

A "pure devil" is a great medicinal herb that can be collected and refined for cultivation.

The "demonic thought" within the middle-aged man in front of him was the same as the "Yin Devil" he encountered in the back mountain cave of Qiu Family Village that day, both born into the world because of "immortal traces."

The only difference was that "Yin Devil Jia Kui" had matured, and following the "Immortal Inheritance," it was reborn in the body of a ferocious beast and officially born into the world.

Although the "demonic thought" on the middle-aged farmer was just a small demonic thought, it also came with "spiritual essence," which was a good treasure for him.

With this thought, Qiu Zhen walked to the middle-aged farmer and reached out to take his pulse.

Silently, a breath poured into his body.

It was none other than the "demonic thought" within the farmer.

The "demonic thought" that others feared was regarded as a treasure by him.

Speaking of which, as soon as the "demonic thought" entered Qiu Zhen's body, it immediately became "lively" and even violent, as if a dehydrated fish had seen a river or lake and had a chance to continue its life, bursting out with unprecedented "impetus," unleashing its demonic nature and trying to influence Qiu Zhen's mind and reside in the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Unfortunately, it met Qiu Zhen.

Even "Yin Devil Jia Kui" had been defeated, let alone a small devil; as soon as it invaded his sea of consciousness, before it could show off its power, a golden light shone through his body.

A wail.

Instantly refined.

The demonic thought turned into specks of "spiritual qi essence," quietly suspended in his sea of consciousness.

Originally, he estimated that it would take 603 days to complete the third level of the Medicine King's Five Animal Frolics.

"I wonder how much hard work this will save."

Qiu Zhen's expression remained unchanged, and his primordial spirit Dharma body began to analyze the "spiritual qi essence" left by the demonic thought and began to deduce.

Dozens of breaths later.

"Estimated completion in 591 days."

Qiu Zhen understood in his heart that he had saved about ten days.

A small demonic thought was not comparable to a matured "Yin Devil."

However, all in all, he was still very satisfied.

A pure devil carries the most refined "spiritual qi essence," which is more suitable as a "great medicinal herb for cultivation" than spiritual herbs and treasures; after refining, there is no hidden danger of "turbid poison from treasures," and it can be refined for a long time and continuously to improve strength.

This is the most important thing.

It was also the greatest gain he obtained after Xiao Baishu "tested the medicine with his own body."

This undoubtedly provided him with a shortcut to improve his strength.

And right now, there are so many patients outside the pharmacy...

Perhaps because the "demonic thought" had left his body, the "evil demonic qi" in the middle-aged farmer's body became a rootless source, and the rate of dissipation was much faster; the black qi on the silver needle became lighter and lighter.

Seeing that the time was about right, Qiu Zhen put away the silver needle and instructed the apprentice beside him:

"Arrange the next patient."

"Okay, Brother Zhen!"

Next, Qiu Zhen began his daily routine of treating patients as a doctor.

Knowing that he was proficient in the [Taiyi Exorcism Needle Technique], most of the patients sent to him next were those infected with "evil demonic qi."

For the next several patients in a row, they were only infected with "evil demonic qi" and did not have "demonic thoughts."

However, Qiu Zhen was not disappointed and diligently exorcised evil and treated illnesses for others.

A doctor's benevolence, saving people, is inherently pleasing to the mind and body, rectifying virtues and purifying thoughts, which helps to improve "inner cultivation" and is also a part of cultivation.

If there are "demonic thoughts," he improves his life cultivation; if there are no "demonic thoughts," he improves his inner cultivation.

He gains from both sides, winning big.

Patients came one after another.

It was not until evening, when night fell and the yin qi was extremely heavy, that the treatment ended.

It is not suitable to use the [Taiyi Exorcism Needle Technique] at night to draw out the evil demonic qi; without the sun shining, the yin demonic qi will breed and spread, easily infecting more people with evil demonic qi.

Of course, Shopkeeper Liu, Doctor Li, and others could not withstand it either; each of them looked pale, as if they had consumed too much qi and blood.

The only one who looked as usual was Qiu Zhen.

"It's good to be young, with vigorous qi and blood, endless vitality."

In the backyard of the pharmacy, Shopkeeper Liu and Doctor Li looked at Qiu Zhen with envy on their faces.

They were both martial artists, and their power and cultivation were much higher, and their qi and blood were more abundant, but after a day of work, they were still no match for the vigorous Qiu Zhen.

This is also the helplessness of middle-aged martial artists; they have better endurance and can cast spells for a longer time, but after an eruption, the subsequent recovery of qi and blood is slow, unlike young people, whose qi and blood power can erupt several times a day and recover extremely quickly.

After a day of acupuncture, it's as if nothing happened.

It's just that martial artists are like this, and middle-aged people and young people have this commonality in many aspects.

Seeing the envious and listless appearance of the two, Qiu Zhen was overjoyed.

In this day, he treated three patients invaded by demonic thoughts and obtained three small groups of "spiritual qi essence," which was estimated to save more than a month of hard cultivation.

He was worried that they would not arrange patients "invaded by demonic thoughts" for him.

Seeing the two of them listless, looking as if they wanted to but couldn't, Qiu Zhen immediately took the initiative to speak:

"Manager Liu, Doctor Li, if there are patients with demonic thoughts in the future, please arrange more for me; I am young, my qi and blood recover quickly, and I can withstand it."

Shopkeeper Liu and Doctor Li were somewhat tempted, they were getting old and were indeed a little afraid.

But...

"Isn't that very good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it."

Qiu Zhen waved his hand, righteous and awe-inspiring:

"Demonic thoughts are strong, and patients infected with demonic thoughts can't withstand it for a few days; if they are not treated in time, I am afraid they will die soon; if I can treat them, I will naturally try my best to save them; I have a sense of proportion and will not force myself to deplete my qi and blood; please fulfill my request, Manager Liu and Doctor Li."

"This..."

Shopkeeper Liu and Doctor Li were somewhat moved, and the look in their eyes towards Qiu Zhen became more and more kind.

They were both doctors and had a doctor's benevolence, and they very much agreed with Qiu Zhen's words and deeds.

"Forget it, then I will trouble you to work hard for the next few days; our Medicine King Valley will send people over later, and it will probably be much easier later."

"Okay."

For the next three days, Qiu Zhen lived a very fulfilling life.

He went out early and returned late every day, traveling back and forth between Qiu Zhen Valley and Qingmu City, exorcising evil and treating illnesses for the disaster victims.

Shopkeeper Liu and Doctor Li were not polite next, and sent all the patients suspected of encountering "demonic thought invasion" to him.

Every time he took action, he could drive out the "demonic thoughts," cure the disease with a needle, and the efficiency of treatment was faster and better than Shopkeeper Liu and Doctor Li.

Sometimes, he could easily deal with the "demonic thoughts" that Shopkeeper Liu and Doctor Li could not drive out and cure.

This made Qiu Zhen famous in Qingmu Medicine Shop, and his status rapidly increased.

In the eyes of the apprentices, his prestige was second only to Shopkeeper Liu.

Not only that, in the mouths of the patients, he also had the title of "Divine Doctor Qiu," and many people begged to find him to exorcise evil and treat illnesses.

[Medicine King's Five Animal Frolics Third Level is estimated to be completed in 261 days]

In the consultation room, Qiu Zhen took some time out of his busy schedule, and his primordial spirit Dharma body deduced, and he was extremely satisfied in his heart.

Three or four days of exorcising evil and treating illnesses saved a year of hard cultivation, which was comparable to taking three or four spiritual herbs and treasures.

"Wonderful!"

Qiu Zhen was extremely satisfied in his heart and said to Shen Liang and Zhao Dou beside him:

"Skinny Monkey, help the patients who have been treated to rest; Big Head, call the next patient."

"Okay."

Shen Liang and Zhao Dou finished speaking and went out.

After a while, Zhao Dou led an old man wearing tattered linen clothes and looking listless into the room.

Beside the old man, there was also a young woman with a rather handsome appearance.

As soon as the young woman saw Qiu Zhen, she hurriedly bowed and said:

"Divine Doctor Qiu, please save my grandfather quickly."

"Girl, don't be anxious; help your grandfather sit down."

Qiu Zhen instructed the woman to lay the old man flat on a wide wooden bench and take his pulse for diagnosis.

At first, he didn't pay much attention.

But...

In a short moment, he was slightly surprised in his heart.

"A cultivator..."

The old man was actually a cultivator.
