Your one-stop haven for novel reading.
Kui Xing Island, Black Stone City.
In Dongcheng District, where ordinary people live, a new pharmacy has opened next to the main street.
In front of the pharmacy, many ordinary people were queuing up.
"Hey, have you heard? Granny Wang, who sells tofu, had a toothache for half a month, and half her face was swollen. After seeing this doctor and taking a few doses of medicine, she was better in three days!"
"I know, I know. My neighbor, Hu Da, who slaughters pigs, had a boil on the back of his neck. It hurt so much that he was tilting his head to the side. The Pharmacist Zi took a look, pricked it with a silver needle, squeezed out the pus, applied medicine, and he was completely healed in three days."
"And there's Old Zhou, who works as a foot masseur, and he suffers from chronic leg pain every autumn, so bad he can't get out of bed. It was also thanks to the Zi Yaoshi who prescribed some medicine, and he got better after taking it."
Most of the people queuing at the entrance were peddlers and laborers from the eastern part of the city, carrying with them years of accumulated ailments.
At this moment, these people were chatting among themselves, including one called "Purple Pharmacist".
"A miracle doctor! Master Zi is practically an immortal! My back doesn't ache anymore, my legs don't hurt, and I can even jump around like a man!"
A chef with a large head and thick neck ran excitedly out of the pharmacy, his face beaming with joy.
"Next."
At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in gray cloth walked to the door and called out.
"Dr. Zi! Please save my daughter!"
Widow Liu, who was at the end of the line, rushed forward and knelt down in front of Doctor Zi, carrying a girl.
The little girl in her arms had a fever and fainted; her condition was very bad.
"You come in first, the others can wait."
Doctor Zi waved for Widow Liu to come in with her child.
"Thank you, Dr. Zi! Thank you, Dr. Zi!"
Widow Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times before carrying her youngest daughter into the pharmacy.
"Xiaoyue, go and cook a bowl of medicine to treat a cold."
Doctor Zi took out a roll of silver needles and used them to prick several acupoints on the little girl.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
A woman named Xiaoyue skillfully gathered the medicine and went to the backyard to brew it.
"Don't worry, the child is just sick, a few doses of medicine will do the trick."
Doctor Zi looked at Widow Liu and comforted her.
"Yes, Dr. Zi, could I put the cost of the consultation and medicine on my tab first? I'll pay you back in a few days."
Widow Liu's withered hands clenched the hem of her clothes.
"It's alright, just pay me back whenever you need to."
Doctor Zi smiled and then removed the silver needles from the little girl's body.
By this time, the little girl's condition had improved considerably.
"Thank you, Dr. Zi! You are a living Bodhisattva!"
Widow Liu said gratefully.
"You stay here and keep watch. Once the medicine in the backyard is ready, you'll be fine after taking it."
Dr. Zi walked out of the shop again to treat the next patient...

Kui Xing Island, inside the island master's cave.
Qingfeng made a hand seal and placed the Rahu Yin Stone into a pool of spiritual spring water.
The Spirit Spring Pool is about six zhang square, and the water is crystal clear.
As the Rahu Yin Stone slowly sank into the center of the pool, the magic array at the bottom of the pool, based on thirty-six high-grade spirit stones, suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterwards, the inner cores of the eighteen level-six elephant clam demon beasts embedded in the pool walls began to slowly rotate.
With each rotation, a faint golden light emanates, merging with the yin energy emanating from the Rahu Yin Stone.
Then the pool water slowly rotated, and the spiritual energy in the entire cave began to converge towards the spiritual spring pool.
"Phew! It's done!"
Looking at the yin-yang cycle pattern formed by spiritual energy before him, Qingfeng slowly exhaled.
Three months ago, after he finished dealing with the matters concerning joining Red Moon Island, he returned to Kui Xing Island to begin seclusion to build the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Pool.
With the help of this pool, the cultivation speed of dual cultivation techniques and ghost cultivation techniques will double.
Especially for Yuan Yao and the other girls, cultivating the "Hehuan Dragon and Phoenix Sword Manual" and the "Ghost Path Classic: Yin Yang Soul Harmony Technique" here is twice as effective with half the effort.
"Sigh, Wang Ning and the others are all going through worldly tribulations, and now I'm the only one left to enjoy it."
Qingfeng took off his clothes and jumped into the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Pool to soak.
A month ago, Wang Ning and Wen Siyue had already advanced to the Core Formation stage. Yuan Yao and Yan Li, on the other hand, had been stuck on the Great Evolution Technique for a long time, so the four sisters went to experience the tribulation of the mortal world together.
Now, only he and the newly arrived Stone Butterfly remain in the cave.
After meeting Yuan Yao, Wang Ning, and the other girls, Shi Die also developed the bad habit of cultivation and spent his days in seclusion to cultivate.
They've already started trying to break through to the Core Formation stage.
To ensure a high success rate, Qingfeng provided a large number of pills, including Dust-Reducing Pills and high-grade spirit stones—they were all top-of-the-line.
"Now, my Qingyang Sect is full of talented people."
Qingfeng sat in the pool, consolidating his foundation while reviewing the mid-to-high-level combatants within the sect.
High-end combat power
Late Nascent Soul Stage: Qing San Yang
Mid-Nascent Soul Stage: Barbarian Beard
Early Nascent Soul Stage: Master Shi, Hermit Qingyi
Mid-range combat power
Late stage of Core Formation: Wu Yong, disciple of the bearded man named "Jin Minglou".
Mid-stage Core Formation: Daoist Couple Yuan Yao and Yan Li.
Early stage of Core Formation: Daoist partners Wang Ning and Si Yue.
Early stage of Core Formation - Elder in charge: Xiao Luo, disciple of the bearded man "Blood Hand Demon" Lei Ming.
"Old Jian from Red Moon Island, along with other disciples of Master Shi, are not yet considered members of the Qingyang Sect."
After Shi Die advanced to the Core Formation stage, she could be included.
As for the Miaoyin Sect, it is currently still under the control of her father-in-law, Wang Heng. After Ning'er takes over, two more cultivators at the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm will be added.
After assessing the existing combat strength, he began to think about the future development of Qingyang Sect.
"Now I have enough spirit stones, and the spirit stones earned from the sect's business can be invested in the sect's construction first."
First, increase the spirit stone rewards for disciples within the Qingyang Sect to enhance their loyalty. Then, select some elite disciples and have me teach them some rare cultivation techniques for further screening.
Secondly, when recruiting disciples from outside the sect, the entry requirements can be relaxed.
There are many independent cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea. If we can spread the reputation of Qingyang Sect for "education for all", we can quickly expand our grassroots base.
As long as the base number is large enough, you're bound to get an SSR gold card.
Qingfeng has developed a twenty-year plan for the development of Qingyang Sect.
A sudden recruitment drive will definitely attract the attention of other forces.
However, when this matter is broken down over a twenty-year timeline, it becomes insignificant.
……
Tianxing City, the 81st floor of the Holy Mountain.
In the Twin Saints Palace, a man and a woman stood by the window, secretly watching a figure who had just left.
The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with snow-white skin, dressed in a green palace gown, exuding elegance and nobility.
The man was around forty years old, with sword-like eyebrows, and dressed as a scholar in a white robe.
These two were none other than the Star Palace Twin Saints, Wen Qing and Ling Xiaofeng, both at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.
The departing figure was their daughter, Ling Yuling.
"Ling'er has grown up; she's even secretly going out to gain experience without telling us."
Wen Qing said softly.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will send more people to keep a close eye on Ling'er."
This was my oversight.
Ling Xiaofeng assured him.
"My older brother has started acting up again lately. Don't let Ling'er go out; just stay in the Star Palace."
Once the Void Heaven Palace opens, continue using the Heaven-Mending Pill to incite the old fogies of the righteous and demonic paths to fight each other, preventing them from disrupting the balance of the Chaotic Star Sea.
Wen Qing said seriously.
"Alas, we are trapped by the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain and cannot go too far from Tianxing City. Otherwise, we would not need these schemes."
"It's all my fault for dragging you into cultivating the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light."
Ling Xiaofeng sighed.
"It's useless to say these things now, as we will both pass away one day. What we can do now is to eliminate all threats to Ling'er."
Wen Qing said in a resolute voice.
"Madam is right."
Ling Xiaofeng nodded.
