Chapter 11: The Green Snake

"Of course, otherwise why would I be able to see that something is wrong with your spiritual vein? I am not only an alchemist but also a physician. Qin Zhao didn't hide it, after all, it will be exposed when he is treated in the future, and the most important thing is that Qin Zhao believes that with his hundred years of experience, he will not be wrong, Xia Qingwu is worth believing, so he continued: "Of course, please ask the teacher to keep it secret for me." ”

"Why keep it a secret?"

"Because with my little bit of cultivation, if I reveal my identity as an alchemist, it may be detrimental to myself. Qin Zhao explained.

Hearing this, Xia Qingwu's eyes showed a hint of admiration that could not be concealed.

"I didn't expect that...... I didn't expect you to hide so deeply......" Xia Qingwu said something almost exactly the same as Xie Shang's previous sentence, but the tone was diametrically opposite: "It's an alchemist and a doctor, and everyone still regards you as a very talented spirit martial artist." ”

Qin Zhao shrugged: "When life is at stake, you will naturally become smarter, maybe it is more appropriate to be cautious." ”

"Then this matter will trouble you, is it enough to give you two thousand gold coins first?" Xia Qingwu did not doubt the truth of what Qin Zhao said, and opened his mouth to say two thousand gold coins.

"It's not that much, it only takes a few hundred gold elixirs for each treatment. ”

"Okay, then when can you help me with treatment?" Xia Qingwu had a look of expectation in his eyes.

Qin Zhao thought for a while and said, "I'll come over tomorrow night." ”

“。 Xia Qingwu nodded, and handed the gold coin to Qin Zhao without the slightest doubt.

After agreeing with Xia Qingwu, Qin Zhao left, and he took advantage of the noon break to go to the medicine pavilion again.

However, after Qin Zhao left, an old man suddenly appeared in front of Xia Qingwu.

"Miss, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. The old man spoke slowly.

"Uncle Guan, do you think he's lying to me?" Xia Qingwu was not surprised by the appearance of this old man, but asked rhetorically.

"I think...... It's a bit mysterious. The old man shook his head and said, "So many doctors are not optimistic about your illness, he is just a teenager with the name of waste, even if he is really an alchemist or a doctor, it is good to be able to learn some fur at this age, not to mention what kind of spiritual vein attributes he said I have never heard of." ”

"Uncle Guan?" Xia Qingwu frowned, the expression on her face was a little displeased, she always felt that the word "waste" was a little harsh, she was kind by nature and couldn't get used to using such words on a teenager who wanted to help him, not to mention that Qin Zhao was not really a "waste".

Xia Guan obviously also knew Xia Qingwu's character, and immediately changed his words: "At least this kid named Qin Zhao didn't tell the truth, at first he said that this spiritual vein attribute was common sense, and later said that he saw it in ancient books, obviously hiding it." ”

"Does it matter where he knows? Xia Qingwu obviously believed what Qin Zhao said before, and said: "And even if it's fake, I don't have much to lose, what threat can he pose to me if he is only a first-order spiritual vein cultivator?"

"That's just as well. Xia Guan didn't say much when he heard this, he would know if it was true or false tomorrow night.

............

After the afternoon class, Qin Zhao couldn't wait to take Lu Ze to the back mountain of the academy.

"What is there in the back mountain, so in such a hurry?" Lu Ze asked dissatisfiedly.

"The second-grade elixir, the green snake fruit. ”

"Damn, don't hurry up!"

Qin Zhao: "......"

"By the way, Lu Ze, do you still have any money on you?" asked Qin Zhao on the way.

"How much?"

"A thousand gold coins?" Qin Zhao asked tentatively.

“...... No, I only have a few dozen gold coins left. Lu Ze was a little speechless: "I spent all my money on this sword, but this sword only needs a few hundred gold coins, why do you want so much money?"

"Buy the elixir. Qin Zhao replied.

He wanted to buy the elixir needed to refine the Qingfeng Pill, and although Xia Qingwu gave him a lot of gold coins, the money was not his own.

"Preparing to use the elixir to break through to the third order of the spiritual vein?" Lu Ze thought that Qin Zhao was fighting this idea.

"It's not. Qin Zhao shook his head and didn't explain.

Soon the two of them arrived at the place where Qin Zhao found the green snake fruit last night.

"What about the green snake?" Lu Ze was a little cowardly in front of this green snake fruit, after all, the spirit beast that could hold the second-grade elixir should not be weak.

"It should be nearby, you be careful. Qin Zhao said.

"There, I saw it!" After all, Lu Ze's strength was a little stronger, and he was the first to discover the green snake, "The green snake of the seventh order of the spirit vein!"

"My spiritual vein is of the sixth order, your spiritual vein is of the first order, and together it is just the seventh order, you can probably try it!" Lu Ze drew out his long sword.

Qin Zhao had a stunned expression on his face: "Can it still be counted like this?"

"I'm the main attacker, and you're there to assist me. Lu Ze ignored Qin Zhao and gave himself the courage to prepare.

"Good. Qin Zhao swore that he still had some spiritual power, and he was extremely experienced in combat, so it would be no problem to help by the side.

"Then I'm on!" Lu Ze directly slashed towards the green snake with a sword.

The green snake had already discovered the two of them, and at this time, seeing Lu Ze rushing over, he angrily spit out the snake letter, and jumped up and attacked Lu Ze.

This green snake is not big, about half a foot long and an inch thick, but after all, the strength of a genuine spirit vein seventh-order spirit beast will not be small.

"Bell~", the green snake hit Lu Ze's long sword and made a sound of fine iron colliding, obviously the green snake's defense is also extremely strong.

Lu Ze was hit by it and "kicked" a few steps back.

"Qin Zhao, come and help, I can't stop this green snake!" Lu Ze realized that this green snake was much stronger than he thought.

"Okay, come right away!" Qin Zhao said that he would come immediately, but the person went straight to the Green Snake Fruit.

"What are you doing?" Lu Ze was taken aback.

"Okay, I picked it!" The green snake was entangled by Lu Ze, Qin Zhao naturally got this green snake fruit easily, and after getting this green snake fruit, he turned his head and ran: "You hold on for a while, I'll go find someone to save you!"

"Isn't it?!" Lu Ze was shocked, and said that he would help by the side?

But when the green snake saw that Qin Zhao had actually taken away the fruit it had guarded for a long time, he was furious, and he didn't care about Lu Ze, and quickly rushed towards Qin Zhao.

"Be careful!" The green snake wanted to leave, but Lu Ze couldn't stop it, so he had to watch it pounce on Qin Zhao's back.

But as if he had expected it, Qin Zhao quickly turned around and dodged, and at the same time, a black powder was sprinkled from his right hand to envelop the green snake.

This is naturally the poison that frightened Qi Yuan and the others before.

"Take advantage of it now, it's poisoned!" Qin Zhao quickly shouted.

Lu Ze didn't understand what the situation was, but he didn't dare to delay when he heard Qin Zhao say this, and immediately went up with his sword and entangled with the green snake again.

After a few moves, Lu Ze really found that something was wrong with this green snake, his movements were obviously slow, and his strength was much smaller.

But after all, this is a seventh-order spirit beast of the spirit vein, which can resist much more than Qi Yuan, and he stubbornly blocked Lu Ze dozens of moves before being cut into two pieces with a single sword.

The upper and lower bodies of the green snake writhed violently, and the blood from the wound was thrown all over the ground, and after dozens of breaths, there was finally no movement at all.

"Call you arrogant!" After defeating this green snake, Lu Ze became proud, and wanted to go directly to the beast spirit in the green snake's body.

"Don't!" Qin Zhao hurriedly called, but he was still a step too late.

Before Lu Ze could react, the upper body of the green snake, which had been silent, jumped up directly and bit Lu Ze's arm.

Green snakes are highly venomous!

"It's over!" Lu Ze was shocked, and slashed the green snake again with his sword, but there were already two blood-red holes left on his arm.

"Qin Zhao, what should I do?!" Lu Ze panicked.

"It's hopeless, wait for death. Although Qin Zhao said it on his lips, he was unambiguous in his hand, and took out another packet of white powder and sprinkled it on Lu Ze's wound.

Since Qin Zhao knew that there would be a battle with this green snake in the morning, it was impossible not to prepare in advance, this white powder was the antidote to the green snake poison he prepared at noon, and it would not have been used according to his plan, but he didn't expect Lu Ze to have to be cheap.

"What is this?"

"Naturally, it's an antidote, what else can it be?" Qin Zhao said angrily: "The spirit beast teacher said in class a few days ago that snake spirit beasts can survive for a while even if they are cut off, do you still use your hands to take them, and don't listen to the class?"

Lu Ze: "......"

Lu Ze wanted to say, "Aren't you sleeping too", but in this situation, he really doesn't have the face to say this.

"Anyway, where did you get the antidote?" Lu Ze was more curious about this than listening to the lecture.

"Naturally, I made it myself. Qin Zhao said: "Okay, don't talk, quickly sit down and force the snake venom out, otherwise you will be uncomfortable for a few days with the antidote." ”

"Oooh. Lu Ze hurriedly sat down against the tree and began to use his spiritual power to force out the snake venom.

Qin Zhao used Lu Ze's long sword to cut the head of the green snake open, and took out an illusory little green snake from it with his spiritual power.

This is the beast spirit, the core of the power of the spirit beast, similar to the existence of the human body spirit sea, and it is also a good material for refining medicine.

In addition to this demon spirit, Qin Zhao also got some snake venom on the green snake's fangs, which was a good thing for refining poison.

After doing this, Qin Zhao glanced at Lu Ze, and estimated that it would take at least an hour for him to completely force the snake venom out, so Qin Zhao decided to go around again by himself and see if he could find some more medicinal materials or elixirs.

But after walking for a while, Qin Zhao met Zhou Qingyan again, she was still practicing swords in the place last night.
