Chapter 20 Fire-breathing entry, Attending the Banquet
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
While inside Qingyuan Gate, Lin Zhou also heard many stories about the strange black-haired disease outside the county town.
The county government issued a prescription, and the Qingyuan Sect personally prepared the antidote.
A large quantity of antidote was sent outside the county town. Disciples from various gangs and constables from the county government began screening patients with the Black Hair Strange Disease outside the county town. As a result, many of the disaster victims outside the county town were also comforted.
Without this strange disease, the threat posed by the disaster victims to the county town was greatly reduced.
The price of the prescription was much lower than Lin Zhou had expected. He thought the Qingyuan Sect would make a fortune, but the price wasn't outrageous at all.
But the amount of money earned was absolutely enormous.
at the same time.
Outside Taihu County.
In an abandoned village more than ten miles away.
Inside the dilapidated ancestral hall, three figures wearing black crow masks gathered.
"This is a ghost!"
Are there any highly skilled individuals in Taihu County?
"Our sect's Blood Fusion Worms were dealt with by a bowl of herbal medicine!"
One of the masked men in black said in a somewhat incredulous tone.
"Are there any hidden alchemists or pharmacists in the county town?"
Another person spoke up, puzzled.
"impossible!"
"How could there be a Dan Yuan Pharmacist in a county like Taihu? There are only a few in Qingzhou Prefecture, and our sect only has one Dan Yuan Pharmacist."
"And the solution for bloodworms is a bowl of herbal soup."
"I have already taken a portion of the herbal medicine and sent it to the sect so that the sect's pharmacist can check the ingredients of the medicine."
"Logically speaking, it's impossible for anyone to find the Blood-Melting Worm inside a living person; even a Qi-based martial artist couldn't do it."
"Unless they are martial arts masters or higher, experts in internal energy transformation."
"There are only a few hidden forces in the entire Taihu County."
The one who was the most burly of the three spoke.
"check!"
"The task assigned to us by the sect has already failed so badly at the very beginning. If we don't know who we failed at or how we failed, how can we face returning to the sect? The fellow disciples in the Enforcement Hall will not show us any mercy."
"We'll infiltrate the county town and start our investigation from the county government office and Qingyuan Gate."
"The one who can extract the Blood-Melting Worm can't be a Transformation Realm expert. If someone has mastered other special methods, we must get the information and take it back to report. Then we brothers can be exempted from punishment."
"good!"
"We will each use our own methods, and meet here again in a month."
The three exchanged glances and then left the village.
...
...
Three poles in the sun.
Inside Qingyuan Gate.
In the pharmacist's courtyard.
[Check-in successful]
[Gained Level 1 affix: Fire Breathing!]
Lin Zhou's eyes lit up.
"Breathes?"
"I wonder how powerful it is?"
"If the fire-breathing isn't powerful enough, it's no better than a street acrobatic act; it'd be useless."
Lin Zhou was deep in thought.
I need to find a place to test the power of the fire-breathing ability.
Immediately, Lin Zhou found an excuse to send the two maids out of the courtyard.
Replace the entry with "fire-breathing".
[Entry Position: Level 1 Flamethrower]
Immediately, Lin Zhou felt as if an extremely powerful force was forming in his abdomen.
I stood in front of a rockery in the courtyard that was about ten feet high.
Lin Zhou took a deep breath and blew out a blood-red pillar of fire that shot out of his mouth, directly hitting the stone tablet four or five steps away and burning a gap several inches deep into it.
"belch!"
A wisp of pale red smoke rose from Lin Zhou's mouth.
"This power..."
Lin Zhou walked up to the stone tablet and touched the artificial rock with a burnt hole in it. The rocks around the hole were hot to the touch.
The power of this fire-breathing attribute is quite remarkable. At least for a skilled bone forging expert, a single breath of fire from this at close range would burn a large hole in their body.
If you were to launch a close-range sneak attack, you could give the enemy a blow to the head.
It can burn the enemy's head to ashes.
Unless one is a master of internal energy, with internal energy protecting their body, they cannot withstand it.
This level 1 fire-breathing attribute is currently Lin Zhou's biggest trump card.
However, after spitting out a pillar of fire, most of the power within his body was drained away in one go.
The recovery speed is slow, and it can only spew out two pillars of fire in a short period of time.
soon.
When the maids Xiao Cui and Ling Xiang returned, they were quite surprised to see a black gap burned into the rock.
Lin Zhou could only explain that it had been accidentally burned and told them to find the servant in charge of the matter to repair the hole in the rock.
No matter how hard they racked their brains, they could never have imagined that it was their apothecary master who had burned it with fire.
About half an hour later.
Then a disciple dressed in black came to Lin Zhou's courtyard and respectfully presented him with a yellow invitation.
"Pharmacist Lin, this is an invitation from Sect Leader Li. He is hosting a banquet at the Golden Jade Restaurant tonight and hopes that you will grace us with your presence."
"Okay, I'll definitely be there."
Lin Zhou accepted the invitation and nodded in acknowledgment.
The disciple who delivered the invitation then took his leave.
At this moment, Xiao Cui and the others, who were busy working in the courtyard, looked at each other and saw surprise and joy in each other's eyes.
The fact that Sect Leader Li hosted a banquet to invite Pharmacist Lin shows that Pharmacist Lin holds a high position in the Sect Leader's heart, which is a good thing for those who serve Pharmacist Lin.
The higher the status of the pharmacist, the higher their status will be compared to other maids.
"This banquet must be to celebrate the cure of that strange illness."
Lin Zhou took the invitation, opened it, glanced at it a few times, and then put it away.
"panel."
[Realm Level: Mid-Stage Skin Refining]
[Technique: Mastery of the Crane Form Fist (15/100)]
"Over the past three days, thanks to the pills I exchanged when I left the Medicine King Gang, my health has steadily increased by four points each day."
"At this rate, if things stabilize, I can raise my cultivation to perfection and reach the late stage of Skin Refining in less than twenty days."
Now that we have such a quiet environment for cultivation, we can improve our cultivation level as quickly as possible.
Lin Zhou pondered in his heart.
The bloodworms that caused that strange black-haired disease still troubled him, which was quite contradictory to martial arts techniques.
This blood worm is just one type of Gu worm. What abilities do the other Gu worms possess?
Lin Zhou is too weak right now.
Fortunately, with the help of the affix, once I raise my cultivation to the Bone Forging stage as soon as possible, perhaps another affix slot can be unlocked.
In the blink of an eye.
The sky was getting dark.
Lin Zhou, dressed in a pharmacist's robe and wearing the Qingyuan Sect pharmacist's badge, left the sect and headed to the Jinyu Restaurant in the county town.
I asked a couple of people on the street and found out the location of Jinyu Restaurant.
Lin Zhou's attire, complete with the Qingyuan Sect's sign hanging from his waist, drew friendly and respectful treatment from passersby.
They were incredibly enthusiastic when I asked for directions.
After crossing two streets, you enter Shunhe Street, where the Jinyu Restaurant is located.
The street was bustling with activity, lined with shops.
It is also one of the busiest streets in the county. The Jinyu Restaurant is five stories high and is a very famous restaurant in the county.
It is said that it has the support of the county government and the famous Yunshui Sect, which is why its business is so large. It also has many unique dishes that other restaurants do not have, as well as various high-level musicians and dancers.
