I am the Snake Taoist

The servant led Qin Qiu to a wall on the second floor.

A shrine was embedded in the middle of the wall filled with medicine cabinets, and enshrined in the shrine was a chubby, fair-skinned doll.

This doll looked endearing, but strangely, it had an umbrella-like cover on its head, and the smile on its face was very eerie.

Qin Qiu recognized it as the deity worshiped by Medicine Valley, the Flesh Immortal, who was rumored to be the ancestor of all medicinal herbs in the world.

The servant pulled out a few yellow-green incense sticks from the side and bowed three times to the Flesh Immortal.

The Flesh Immortal began to rotate eerily, but its head did not move at all, and its smiling eyes stared straight at Qin Qiu.

The eerie gaze made Qin Qiu feel a chill.

It wasn't until the Flesh Immortal's body had completely turned around, facing away from the two of them, that the shrine began to descend.

A narrow passage was revealed behind the shrine, and only the luminous pearl above emitted a faint light.

A familiar scent, he smelled it!

The scent from that man, as soon as the passage opened, this scent rushed to his face.

Qin Qiu followed the servant and walked into the passage.

After a few steps, the scene suddenly opened up.

This was a hall, filled with various bamboo beds of different widths, heights, and lengths.

Most of the bamboo beds were occupied by people, who were listless and had twisted smiles unconsciously on their faces, but without exception, they were all sallow and emaciated, like corpse demons within the demon race.

Qin Qiu scanned the hall and saw the man he was looking for sitting in the corner.

He saw the man gently cutting a small opening in his arm with a small knife, and even squeezed it twice to make the blood flow more freely.

Finally, he grabbed a handful of medicinal powder and pressed it hard on the wound.

Then, his facial expression went from indifference to pain, and then to an eerie smile, all in a few breaths.

Qin Qiu looked around and saw that all these sallow and emaciated people had scars on their hands.

"I wonder if the young master wants low-grade, medium-grade, or high-grade?"

The servant looked at Qin Qiu with a flattering expression, as if he were looking at a walking money bag.

At this moment, the servant thought that Qin Qiu was a member of some large family who had become addicted to this thing, but couldn't quit, so he could only hide it and come to the pharmacy.

There were not a few people like this, and the servant had received many of them, who were grateful to the servant.

He used to be the one flattering others, but now he was in a position to be flattered.

Qin Qiu observed quietly: "What's the difference?"

"It seems that you are visiting our shop for the first time."

"The biggest difference between our shop and other shops lies in this high-grade product, which other shops don't have."

"It's because our master has a good relationship with Medicine Valley that he can get so little medicine, and a portion costs one hundred Nether Crystals."

"I want the cheapest one."

As soon as Qin Qiu finished speaking, the servant's face immediately changed, and he walked inside with a dark face.

He muttered, "Damn poor ghost, I wonder if you've used too much medicine and made yourself stupid. You're even wearing a black robe, aren't you hot?"

Qin Qiu didn't pay much attention to him, but found a bamboo bed, sat down, and quietly released his Nether Qi to sense the strength of the people around him.

There were also several experts hidden inside, one at the Six Nether Fate Realm and three at the Five Nether Fate Realm.

However, their Qi and blood were also somewhat depleted, although not as severe as those outside.

Qin Qiu looked at the small box that the servant handed him, which contained yellow powder.

He sniffed it lightly, and a refreshing fragrance wafted over, like a meadow after the rain.

Qin Qiu's expression changed slightly, and after handing the servant a Nether Crystal, he decisively slipped away.

"Hey, hey, hey, customer, the shop only allows consumption on the premises, no takeaways."

The servant grabbed Qin Qiu's black robe, stood in front of Qin Qiu, with a sinister look on his face, he was clearly an ordinary person without cultivation, but he felt like he could control many cultivators in his hands.

Qin Qiu didn't speak, and the scarlet snake pupils under the black robe looked at the servant, as if he was about to swallow him whole in the next second.

"Swish."

Qin Qiu could clearly feel four pairs of eyes staring at his back, and four strands of Qi locked onto the vital points of his body.

In just a moment, Qin Qiu's back was soaked in cold sweat.

Qin Qiu had a premonition that as long as he dared to move, he would immediately be riddled with holes by the people in the compartment.

"If you don't let me take it, then you don't let me take it, but this service attitude is a bit too much."

Qin Qiu left a stubborn remark and silently went to find a place to lie down.

"Give me another serving of Refreshing Fragrance Powder! I want the high-grade one, don't try to fool me with those inferior products!"

A rough voice came from the compartment, and the servant walked over quickly as if he had heard an imperial edict: "Coming, Master Li!"

Qin Qiu's eyes moved slightly, pretending to slow down the speed of cutting his wrist with the small knife, and focused his attention on the servant.

The servant came out quickly, bowing and scraping, but when he closed the door of the compartment, he seemed to have changed into a different person.

He spat at his feet.

When he walked past Qin Qiu, he glanced at Qin Qiu triumphantly, fortunately Qin Qiu reacted quickly and hid his arm under the black robe, so he was not discovered by the servant.

Otherwise, Qin Qiu's fair arm would be out of place compared to the scarred arms of the surrounding cultivators.

Qin Qiu counted silently in his heart, according to the time of the previous man's onset, waiting for the people in the compartment to feel the effects of the medicine.

"Three… two… one…"

Qin Qiu rolled over from the bamboo bed, and a black snake was already waiting in the shadows next to him with its mouth open.

Seeing Qin Qiu fall into its mouth, the snake immediately sneaked away with the swallowing action.

A man next to him had just woken up and watched this scene with his own eyes.

"That's not right… I still used too much Refreshing Fragrance Powder, I have to restrain myself a little… I'm starting to hallucinate…"

"Hehe… a snake popped out of the ground and swallowed a person…"

The man shook his head and continued to lie down.

Qin Qiu could clearly feel the black snake breaking through a layer of film, carrying Qin Qiu in the shadows.

Just as this layer of film was broken through, a man in a gold-patterned robe opened his eyes on a high-rise building that could overlook the entire Xi City.

"Who is it… Refreshing Fragrance Powder… troublesome bug!"

Looking closely, this man actually looked seven or eight parts similar to Yao Quan…

Qin Qiu ran wildly along the shadows without daring to look back.

If these people hadn't been somewhat mentally confused because of the Refreshing Fragrance Powder, Qin Qiu's previous Nether Qi detection would have been discovered by them.

After running around Xi City five or six times, Qin Qiu finally confirmed that there was no tail following him.

"Hoo… Refreshing Fragrance Powder… so that's what it is…"

This so-called Refreshing Fragrance Powder was the medicinal powder that Medicine Valley sprinkled during the Medicine Ceremony!

However, the quality at that time was several times higher than the one in Qin Qiu's hand.

But why does this thing have this effect?

Qin Qiu walked and thought all the way, but couldn't figure it out, after all, Qin Qiu knew nothing about medicinal herbs.
