Chapter 35: Many Disasters
In August of Pegasus, the sky was clear just now, but it suddenly started to rain heavily.
The heavy rain came quickly and went away quickly. In a short while, the clouds and rain disappeared.
The air is fresh after the rain, but the roads are muddy and difficult to walk on.
Zhu Qinnan pinched the seal with her hands and performed the wind control technique. Her figure became light and graceful in the flash of spiritual light.
The Wind Controlling Technique may seem the same as the Feather Flying Technique, but in fact they are completely different.
The Flying Feather Technique is a magic that makes the body as light as a feather, but the speed cannot be increased.
The wind-controlling technique allows practitioners to control the wind and travel. The stronger the practitioner's power, the faster the speed.
Zhu Qinnan is a physical cultivator. She doesn't like the slow flying feather technique, and the wind control technique can better adapt her.
Along the way, Zhu Qinnan took advantage of opportunities everywhere and glided lightly over the muddy ground without getting any mud or water on the uppers of her shoes.
When they reached an intersection, Zhu Qinniang saw a black dried corpse lying on the ground.
There were several cultivators surrounding it, pointing at the mummy, each with a look of fear on their face.
Zhu Qinnan knew that this was a cultivator killed by an evil spirit. His essence, blood and vitality had been sucked dry by the evil spirit, causing him to become a charcoal-like mummy.
She had heard a long time ago that the evil creature with half a head had reappeared and was harming people everywhere in Pegasus.
During this period, more than a dozen independent cultivators have been killed, which also made the independent cultivators in Pegasus Gathering panic.
Some independent cultivators found Deacon Li Shuanglin and asked him to take action to eliminate the evil spirits.
Li Shuanglin is a great foundation-building cultivator and the manager of Lianyun Sect in Feimaji.
Now that evil spirits are rampant, the independent cultivators naturally want to find Li Shuanglin to help. It is said that Li Shuanglin also made a promise to deal with the evil spirits as soon as possible.
Zhu Qinnan just listened to it and didn't know the specific situation, so she didn't care much about it.
Her Hunyuan Golden Body is powerful, and this low-level evil spirit poses no threat to her.
"It's just that the evil spirit is killing people everywhere. I wonder if the timid Gao Xian will be scared..."
When Zhu Qiniang arrived, Gao Xian was practicing Iron Dragon Hands in the yard.
During this period, he made rapid progress in Iron Dragon Hand and began to like the sense of fulfillment that came from practicing Iron Dragon Hand.
The Five Elements Kung Fu, Iron Dragon Hand, and other spells, including the Fire Control Technique, cannot be upgraded using human spiritual light, so he can only practice hard on his own.
The Five Elements Exercise is a complex and subtle method for training Qi, mind and body. Daily progress can only be determined through the Feng Yue Bao Jian.
The Iron Dragon Hand is different. After practicing his muscles and bones each time, he can clearly feel the powerful strength. He can clearly feel that he is making progress.
This is also the difference between internal training and external training.
Zhu Qiniang watched Gao Xian practice the Iron Dragon Hand. She nodded and said, "You have practiced it very well. Very good."
She had practiced Iron Dragon Hand for several years, but was still not as proficient as Gao Xian, which shows how fast Gao Xian improved.
Gao Xian was very happy. Although Zhu Qiniang was very nice to him, she would not praise him casually.
Being able to say that now, it's clear that he has made great progress.
He also understood that he was able to achieve this point largely due to the Electric Light Dragon Hand, and a small part was due to the Dragon Bone Pill.
Zhu Qiniang said: "I don't have much to teach you about the Iron Dragon Hand, just practice well."
She handed Gao Xian a medicine box and said, "Here are fifty dragon bone pills."
Gao Xian quickly took it with both hands: "Great, thank you Qi Niang. I'm sorry that Qi Niang spent money again."
During this period of practicing Iron Dragon Hand, Gao Xian realized that the assistance of elixirs was indispensable.
No wonder alchemists make money, if you want to make progress you have to take drugs.
Dragon Bone Pill is quite special, he doesn't know how to refine it, so he can only rely on Zhu Qiniang.
Fortunately, he can also help Zhu Qinnan provide Tiangui Dan and provide health care services. The cooperation between the two parties is equal and mutually beneficial, and he has the right to take Longgu Dan.
"That half-headed evil spirit has reappeared recently, and it seems to have become more powerful."
Zhu Qiniang reminded Gao Xian: "You still have to be careful and make sure to carry the One Yang Talisman with you."
Gao Xian showed a look of surprise: "That evil spirit has come out again?"
Last time, he fired a True Yang Gun at Lao Wang, severely injuring him on the spot, but he didn't expect that he would come back to life so quickly.
This news was like a huge stone pressing on his heart. The feeling of oppression was so uncomfortable.
"The more blood the evil spirit absorbs, the stronger its power will be."
Zhu Qiniang shook her head slightly and said, "If we can't solve it quickly, the evil spirit will become more and more powerful."
Seeing Gao Xian's grim expression, Zhu Qiniang comforted him, "The evil spirits won't come looking for you specifically. There will naturally be foundation builders like Li Shuanglin to deal with them. You don't have to worry too much."
She paused and said, "The real trouble is Lao Zhu."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Um?"
Gao Xian looked confused and asked, "What happened to Shopkeeper Zhu?"
Zhu Qiniang said: "Old Zhu recently found that the business of the medicine shop has become worse. He sent people to investigate and found out that Tiangui Dan and Lujiao San are selling very well and have taken away his business. He has already suspected you..."
Gao Xian was horrified: "Ah!"
He looked at Zhu Qiniang with some uneasiness, "Were we discovered so soon?"
The alchemy furnace belongs to Zhu Hongan. His master and Zhu Hongan signed an alchemy contract, agreeing to refine at least 1,500 pills for Zhu Hongan every month.
The contract does not specify who owns the extra pills, because neither party has considered this issue.
The main reason is that the original owner of this body was a low-level alchemist. He was lucky enough to be able to complete the tasks every month, and it was impossible for him to have the spare energy to refine other pills.
The reason why he had extra herbs to refine Deer Horn Powder was because there would be one third more herbs in surplus when refining pills.
It is impossible for a low-level alchemist to succeed in every batch of pills. The extra one-third of medicinal materials is normal loss.
By adding points through Fengyue Baojian, his alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds, allowing him to use all the medicinal materials to the fullest extent with almost no loss.
Gao Xian knew about the alchemy contract, and he also knew that Zhu Hongan was greedy. If he knew that he was so skilled in refining Deer Horn Powder and Tiangui Pills, he would never let him go.
Gao Xian felt that this problem could be avoided by letting Zhou Ye and Huang Ying be agents.
As a result, less than a month after the Tiangui Pills were sold, they were discovered by Lao Zhu?!
Gao Xian looked at Zhu Qiniang for help: "Qiniang, what should we do?"
Lujiaosan and Tianguidan were the basis of his money-making. If Zhu Hongan took them away, he would not be able to turn things around in a few years.
To practice cultivation, human spiritual light alone is not enough, one also needs various elixirs, magic tools and other resources, all of which require a large amount of spirit stones.
He is only at the second level of Qi training now, and he needs Qi Niang to provide him with Blood Dragon Pills so that his training speed can be greatly improved.
It is conceivable that the higher the level of cultivation, the more resources are needed. Without spiritual stones, where would the resources come from? Zhu Hongan held the contract, had a strong background in Lianyun Sect, and knew his master. In terms of public and private, he could not defeat the other party.
Gao Xian is a little confused now, not knowing how to deal with it. Although Zhu Qiniang and Zhu Hongan have a bad relationship, after all, they have been together for so many years, she knows Zhu Hongan very well and should have a plan to deal with it.
Zhu Qiniang looked at Gao Xian deeply, and said calmly: "I have already told you how to deal with it. It's very simple, just kill Old Zhu."
"Well……"
Gao Xian didn't rush to refuse this time. He fell into deep thought.
