Chapter 163: Amazing Harvest
Just as his master An Jishi had said, An Huayu woke up after about an hour.
After waking up, An Huayu knew what had happened and looked embarrassed.
He was already sensitive and insecure. He had finally broken through to the Xiantian realm and was feeling triumphant and full of vigor, but he capsized in the gutter the first time he encountered a Xiantian demon, almost losing his life inexplicably.
Who could bear this? It was too demoralizing.
Fortunately, An Jishi changed his usual stern fatherly style this time, and instead of scolding him, he comforted him, saying that an enemy was causing him trouble. Only then did An Huayu feel a little better.
However.
An Huayu's mood was still not very high.
With this incident and an unknown "An family enemy" still out there, An Huayu naturally didn't stay at the Guangling Medicine Hall. Looking dispirited, he followed his master An Jishi back to the An residence to recuperate.
In the short span of half a day, sighs and laments disappeared from Guangling City.
Some people were cleaning up the battlefield, washing away the腥臭 black and red demon blood from the bluestone ground, while others were reinforcing the town's defenses and repairing houses.
The entire Guangling City was once again immersed in busy work, orderly, as if the "demon disaster" had never happened.
Living in a chaotic world, people had long become accustomed to the impermanence of fate.
Outside Guangling City.
Not far from the town, bonfires blazed in open spaces, with flames soaring and thick smoke billowing, blotting out the sky.
In the distance, a group of burly martial artists walked from the distant forest carrying wood, while others were splitting wood with axes, adding fuel to the fire pits.
Beside the fire pits, piles of demon corpses were stacked like mountains, blood flowing like rivers, a truly spectacular sight.
"The demon corpses are all here."
Not far away, the Guangling City Lord pointed to the mountain of demon corpses beside the fire pit and smiled at Qiu Zhen:
"Pharmacist Qiu, if you see any demon corpses you like, with your skill and medical expertise, feel free to take them."
"Thank you, City Lord!"
Qiu Zhen cupped his hands, feeling quite grateful.
In fact, demon corpses carry a large amount of demon Qi, similar to a "source of plague," and if not handled in time, they could cause disaster.
Precisely because of this, the Demon Suppression Division attaches great importance to the disposal of demon corpses.
Now, the Guangling City Lord was allowing him to take whatever he wanted, essentially taking responsibility himself and opening a door of convenience for him.
"It's just a word, Pharmacist Qiu is too polite, feel free."
"Thanks, I'll treat you to a drink another day."
"Good, good, good."
The Guangling City Lord repeatedly said good, his eyes narrowed with laughter, clearly enjoying Qiu Zhen's gratitude.
Pharmacist Qiu, the rear courtyard helmsman of the Medicine King Valley's Guangling Medicine Hall, had single-handedly killed three Xiantian True Gang realm demons, and this had already caused a sensation throughout Guangling City.
In a short half-day, Qiu Zhen's fame had spread throughout Guangling City, known to all.
To have the current Qiu Zhen owe someone a favor, taking on a little responsibility was nothing.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qiu Zhen walked towards the demon corpse mountain outside Guangling City.
Along the way, the martial artists of Guangling City greeted Qiu Zhen with nods, calling him "Pharmacist Qiu" with respectful attitudes.
Qiu Zhen nodded in response to each one, quickening his pace.
It wasn't that he was putting on airs, but that he was anxious and his mind was not on the people around him.
At this moment, he saw nothing else, his eyes filled with the mountain of demon corpses.
Speaking of which, after beheading the three Xiantian True Gang realm demons, he immediately probed them with his divine sense, searching for "demon thoughts" and "demon souls," hoping to harvest a wave of "spiritual energy essence" and "spiritual crystals."
However, things didn't go as planned.
There were no "demon thoughts" or "demon souls" in the three Xiantian True Gang realm dog-headed demons. All they had were obsessions and dense baleful aura.
He wasn't surprised by this.
Those three True Gang realm dog-headed demons belonged to powerful "inner demon evil spirits," and their bodies were filled with baleful aura. "Extraterrestrial demons" couldn't possess them, and demon thoughts couldn't enter their bodies, so naturally there were no "spiritual energy essence" or "spiritual crystals."
Of course, it wasn't all bad news.
Powerful inner demon evil spirits didn't have "spiritual energy essence," but the weaker "inner demon evil spirits" had a certain chance of having "demon thoughts."
This discovery made him overjoyed.
Therefore, he immediately approached the Guangling City Lord.
"Hoo hoo hoo ~"
The fires roared, burning fiercely.
The Guangling City martial artists, burly and strong, carried demon corpses and threw them into the sea of fire in an orderly manner.
Qiu Zhen watched from afar, feeling a pang of heartache.
He couldn't help but quicken his pace, using his lightness skill to rush over.
"Wait, don't throw them yet."
Qiu Zhen stepped on the wind's edge and appeared in front of a huge sea of fire in the blink of an eye, stopping the corpse burners.
"Pharmacist Qiu!"
The martial artist in charge of burning the corpses recognized Qiu Zhen, his expression respectful, and immediately stopped his actions:
"What are your instructions?"
"Put them down first, let me take a look."
"Okay."
The martial artist in charge of burning the corpses didn't think much of it and put the demon corpse down.
"Boom!"
Hundreds of pounds of corpses landed, causing dust to fly and a rumbling sound.
Qiu Zhen reached out and touched the bloody tiger head, probing with his divine sense.
Soon, he was overjoyed.
Sure enough, there was one!
Immediately, Qiu Zhen took away the "demon thought" without saying a word. After pretending to examine it, his figure turned into a phantom and rushed towards other demon corpses.
Seeing this scene, the martial artist in charge of burning the corpses scratched his head, completely confused, feeling inexplicably puzzled.
About an hour later.
After tossing around in the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, Qiu Zhen's green clothes were stained with blood, and his body exuded a foul and unpleasant smell, looking utterly disheveled.
Even a pure and turbid baleful aura surrounded him, lingering and not dispersing.
The pure turbid baleful aura was harmful to the body and soul, affecting cultivation. In severe cases, it could even cause injury.
However, Qiu Zhen's face showed no worry or displeasure. His heart was full of joy.
This time, a large number of "inner demon evil spirits" had been used in the Qingmu Territory. His master An Jishi's enemy had taken action, using evil methods, skillfully leveraging strength to divert force, attracting an extremely terrifying number of demons to attack Guangling City.
Correspondingly, after a "corpse touching" session, he gained a great deal.
A full one hundred and six "demon thoughts"!
His savings had suddenly become abundant again.
"Jackpot!"
Qiu Zhen sat on a demon corpse to rest, calculating the "demon thoughts" in his sea of consciousness, his heart filled with surprise.
This was his biggest harvest yet, an overnight fortune.
Normally, it wasn't so easy to encounter demon evil spirits. He would be very happy to harvest a few demon thoughts on the rare occasion.
But now, more than a hundred "demon thoughts" had arrived in one go, a dream come true.
One demon thought was a ball of "spiritual energy essence."
"Spiritual energy essence" came in different sizes, but even the smallest spiritual energy essence could save him more than ten days of hard cultivation.
The larger "spiritual energy essence" could even offset twenty or thirty days of hard cultivation.
With this batch of spiritual energy essence, his cultivation would surely advance further.
For a moment, "inner demon evil spirits" and "Wei Tanzhi" flashed through Qiu Zhen's mind, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"I wonder how much cultivation I can improve this time…"
