Apothecary's Jar

Chapter 232: The Pharmacist's Clay Pot

“It hurts! It hurts so much!”

Qin Mu landed, and all his limbs and bones were in great pain, causing him to gasp in pain.

The monk's Vajra Invincibility Skill made his body extremely hard, and even spiritual weapons could hardly hurt him. His various magical powers were almost useless against him, making it extremely difficult for Qin Mu to fight him.

The attack of the Half-Idiot Monk was also incredibly powerful, and Qin Mu was beaten to pieces, especially the nine golden rings, which almost smashed his head. Fortunately, the monk's attack methods were relatively simple, and he eventually died in his hands.

"The magical power users in the Six Harmonies Realm are still quite strong and should not be underestimated."

Qin Mu touched the bump on his forehead, breathing in a hiss, and activated the Tyrant Body Three Dan Gong to activate his Qi and blood circulation to avoid any blood stasis.

Two of his chest ribs were broken, and his back was covered in blood. These were the injuries he sustained when the Banchi monk pressed down on him with the Sumeru Seal.

The Three Dan Techniques of Tyrant Body is extremely effective in healing injuries, but it is still not as good as a panacea. Fortunately, these injuries are not fatal.

"Let's go back to the village first, heal our wounds, and then go find the demon ape."

Qin Mu reconnected his broken ribs and dumped the monk's body here. There was no rule to bury corpses in the ruins, and the bodies would soon be eaten by wild beasts that smelled the blood, leaving only bones at most.

If you are unlucky, not even a bone will be left.

He returned to the village, picked several kinds of spiritual herbs from the medicine garden outside the village, and refined two batches of spiritual pills, one for treating external injuries and the other for treating internal injuries. Then he asked Long Qilin for some ambergris to mix the medicine.

When Long Qilin saw him being beaten like this, he was surprised but didn't ask any more questions.

This dragon unicorn was squatting at the entrance of the village guarding the gate just like it was in Tai Academy, not moving at all. Qin Mu felt that although this guy was nominally guarding the gate, he was probably just lazy and too lazy to move.

The Demon King Dutian still stood there stiffly, Long Qilin was too lazy to move, and he was immobilized by the deaf man and could not move.

Qin Mu rested and recovered from his injuries. By nightfall, the deaf man had not returned, nor had the other people in the village.

The next day, the village chief and his men still hadn't returned. Qin Mu still felt some pain in his lungs and couldn't breathe violently, but the injuries to his ribs and back had healed.

"If you want the injury to your lungs to heal faster, it's best to steam them so that the medicinal gas can enter your lungs. But no one is there to help me light the fire..."

The young man activated the Tyrant Body Three Dan Gong, walked slowly, and breathed in and out slowly, so that the hidden injury in his lungs could heal faster. Suddenly, he thought of a question, and thought to himself: "After the New Year, will I be fifteen or sixteen?"

People in the village have always been arguing about his age. The village chief and my mother-in-law have argued about it several times, but neither of them can explain it clearly.

Granny Si picked up Qin Mu in the spring. Qin Mu was two or three months old in his cradle. Granny Si thought that Qin Mu was born before the New Year, but the village chief thought that Qin Mu was born after the New Year.

If he was born before the New Year, Qin Mu would be sixteen years old, and if he was born after the New Year, Qin Mu would be fifteen years old.

Every Chinese New Year, they would argue about this matter, and they would probably argue again this year.

Just as he was thinking, Qin Mu suddenly heard a buzzing sound. He looked up and saw several golden insects flying from the woods outside the village.

Qin Mu blinked his eyes, and the golden insects suddenly flew away with a buzz and disappeared into the woods.

Then more insects came, circled the village, and then disappeared into the woods.

"The woman from Sanqi Castle has arrived!"

Qin Mu's eyes flashed. The woman from Sanqi Castle was much stronger than the half-idiot monk. She could control the tide of insects. Those insects were poisonous insects that she had refined to be as hard as steel. They could even eat up the spiritual soldiers.

The woman was controlling thousands of insects. There were too many of them. If they swarmed over Qin Mu at once, Qin Mu would definitely be defeated and would be eaten till nothing was left in an instant!

"Rather than letting her kill us in the village, it is better to kill her outside the village!"

Qin Mu looked around and came to the pharmacist's shop. He carefully picked up a broken clay jar. Several scorpions in the jar were waving their pincers and hitting each other. The barbs on their tails swung forward, trying to snatch the elixir that Qin Mu fed them.

Qin Mu walked out of the village holding the broken clay pot. Long Qilin glanced at him and said in a muffled voice, "Master, what are you doing?"

"Fight!" Qin Mu said viciously.

"Fighting again..."

Long Qilin was not interested and said, "Don't come back with injuries all over your body."

Qin Mu came to the riverside holding the clay pot, with a few insects always hanging behind him, lurking in the grass and among the branches.

Qin Mu stopped and waited for a moment, only to see more and more insects around him, covering the surface of the river, and the surface of the river looked like it was covered with a layer of gold.

These insects attracted the big fish in the river. Several fish monsters jumped out of the water excitedly, wanting to eat these poisonous insects. However, the big fish, which was two or three meters long, jumped into the air and opened its ferocious mouth. Then they found the insects, which squeaked strangely, and each one became more than a meter long, pounced on the big fish and bit them. Soon, the big fish were eaten, and only the fish dragons were left falling into the water.

Qin Mu's eyelids twitched. The strength of the Yongjiang fish monster was also very powerful, equivalent to that of warriors in the Lingtai realm and the Wuyao realm, but it was simply vulnerable in front of the poisonous insects raised by the woman in Sanqi Castle.

"The Demon Lord."

A voice came from the river below. Qin Mu looked in the direction of the voice and saw the woman from Sanqi Fort flying towards him from the surface of the lower reaches of Yongjiang River, stepping on a tide of golden insects.

She was not flying, it was the insects that were flying. Countless golden insects were flying around her, and there was a golden mother insect that was much larger than the other poisonous insects. The woman was standing on the back of the mother insect.

Qin Mu smiled sweetly and said, "What's your name for the elder sister of Sanqi Castle?"

Qiu Yue was more than a hundred feet away from Qin Mu. She stopped the insect swarm and asked curiously, "The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect is in a high position of power and authority. I am the only one in the world who is so supreme. Why am I so polite to my enemies and even call me sister?"

There are three wonders in Sanqi Castle: insects, poison and beauties.

This woman has a kind of beauty that makes people's heart beat fast. When you see her for the first time, you will ignore those poisonous insects that make your scalp tingle. Instead, your heart will suddenly beat violently twice, as if her beauty has struck you deep in your soul.

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "When I arrived in Daxu, I was no longer the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult, but the child of the adults in my village. Sister, if you put aside your grudges, I will invite you to celebrate the New Year in the village. Our Daxu New Year is still quite lively."

Qiu Yue said: "After I kill you, I can go home for the New Year..."

Her face darkened and her eyes were sad. "I forgot that my home no longer exists. It was destroyed by you and Master Yankang... My home is in Sanqi Fort. My master is Tian Zhenjun and my mentor is Tian Youfei. In the Battle of Daxiang City, the Heavenly Demon Cult teleported the army of Yankang into the city and killed countless of my brothers and sisters. My mentor covered my escape, but he died at the hands of General Guanjun..."

She seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and crying but not crying. Her eyes with a cold light fell on Qin Mu, and she said softly: "Heavenly Demon Sect Leader, you were already the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect at that time, right? You are the only one in the Heavenly Demon Sect who can mobilize so many masters. It was you who mobilized the masters of the Heavenly Demon Sect and destroyed the great cause of our righteous army and our Three Wonders Fort!"

She looked grim, "I secretly returned to Sanqi Castle, but it was destroyed. My family was also considered a rebel and was beheaded in public! Heavenly Demon Sect Leader, do you think I should kill you?"

Qin Mu sighed and said, "You should. But you shouldn't rebel. When you rebel, you should think about what will happen to your family if the rebellion fails."

Qiu Yue took a step forward and said sternly: "This justice always needs some people to risk their lives to uphold it. This fairness always needs some people to fight for it with their lives! Otherwise, where is justice, where is fairness? Although I am from the devil, I am willing to be such a person! Heavenly Demon Sect Leader, there is no need to say more, please, I will send you off!"

Qin Mu stood in awe and said solemnly, "People with different ideals cannot work together. Miss, please."

Qiu Yue shouted loudly, her sleeves fluttering, and countless poisonous insects rushed towards Qin Mu from all directions. These poisonous insects were of many kinds and countless in number. Various kinds of poisonous insects swelled up in the wind. The big ones were one or two meters long, and the small ones were as big as washbasins. Some poisonous insects not only did not swell, but shrunk in size.

This kind of poisonous insect is the most dangerous. The smaller it is, the harder it is to guard against. It can get into the body when the person is not prepared and gnaw at the internal organs. Some poisonous insects can even devour the soul or absorb the opponent's vitality and cultivation.

Qin Mu opened the broken clay jar, and vital energy poured into it. Several scorpions jumped out of the jar, and suddenly they swelled up with a roar, becoming more than twenty feet long. The black shells around the scorpions were covered with gorgeous and strange rune marks, which kept lighting up. The terrifying aura shook, and the swarms of insects from all around suddenly fell like rain!

Qiu Yue was startled and quickly jumped away. Suddenly, one of the big scorpions swung out its tail hook, which kept extending like an iron chain. The next moment, the woman was hooked and killed with one blow.

Qin Mu sighed. Seeing that the scorpions were fighting over Qiu Yue's body, causing huge waves on the river, he quickly activated the clay pot. The scorpions shrank in size and flew back into the pot, where they were still fighting each other.

Qiu Yue's body had been torn into pieces by them, fell into the river, and was washed away by the surging water.

Qin Mu returned to Canlao Village with the clay jar in his arms. Long Qilin at the entrance of the village looked at him curiously, and seeing that he was a little unhappy, he didn't say anything.

Qin Mu put down the earthen jar, pulled the Demon King Dutian over, punched and kicked him, and summoned the wind and thunder, and fiercely struck the Demon King Dutian with dozens of wind and thunder before he stopped.

The Demon King Dutian was lying on the ground, unable to move. More than a dozen broken parts had fallen off. He felt extremely aggrieved. "How did I provoke you?"

After Qin Mu defeated the Demon King of Dutian, he felt better. Suddenly, he heard someone outside shouting, "The Demon King is here! Everyone, come quickly!"

Qin Mu's face darkened. He went to Granny Si's room, took out the mirror that Granny Si used for dressing, and walked out of the village. Several people with supernatural powers were rushing towards this side.

Qin Mu held the bronze mirror in his hand, and his vital energy flowed into the mirror. He shone the mirror on the several powerful men who were coming to kill him. Their souls flew away in the air and their bodies fell to the ground.

The boy returned to the village and put the mirror back on Granny Si's dressing table. He thought to himself, "Is this the end? Can you let me have a happy new year?"
