Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor.

141. Chapter 141: Innate Transformation Spirit

Chapter 141: Innate Transformation of Spirit and Qi

Qingmu County Yamen, inner residence.

Liu Zhongchang casually flipped through official documents, his eyes fixed on the papers, but his mind was wandering, unable to calm down.

Thinking of the黯然 look on his younger sister's face when she left, he couldn't help but feel complicated.

"Wanqiu, have you actually embarked on the path of cultivation?"

The family knew its own affairs best.

Not to mention others suspecting Wanqiu, even he himself had doubts about his younger sister's various behaviors.

However, suspicion was suspicion, and he had never taken action to investigate.

Others all said that "cultivators" were demons and heretics, and he, having studied the sages' books, had once been filled with hatred for evil and detested the "cultivators" who stirred up unrest and were likely to become demons at any time.

Cultivators, for the sake of illusory "attaining the Dao and immortality," disregarded the peace of the world and acted recklessly, which was clearly a selfish act.

For those who practiced the Dao, all people of lofty ideals in the world should take a firm stand and resolutely strike down and sweep away all demons and monsters.

However, when his own younger sister was suspected of "cultivating," he hesitated and his attitude was no longer so firm.

As long as his sister, Liu Wanqiu, had not truly become a demon, he could not "sacrifice his own kin for the sake of righteousness."

Even, previously, when someone in the family investigated, he secretly shielded her many times, quietly erasing the suspected clues.

At this thought, Liu Zhongchang's mind was filled with thoughts, and his heart was uneasy.

Just as he was pondering, a servant came into the room and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Wei Tanzhi is here to see me?"

Liu Zhongchang frowned slightly, pondering to himself.

He was currently at odds with Wei Tanzhi, but since the man had come to visit, he couldn't very well refuse.

"Invite him in, no, invite him to the Yamen's reception hall."

With that, Liu Zhongchang got up, left the study, and moved to the front yard Yamen.

Not long after, the County Yamen's reception hall.

"Commander Wei has graced us with his presence, I have failed to welcome you from afar, please forgive me."

Liu Zhongchang greeted him with a smile, his superficial hospitality not diminished in the slightest.

However, to Liu Zhongchang's surprise, Wei Tanzhi had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with him.

"Brother Liu, we are family, no need to be so polite."

With that, Wei Tanzhi took the initiative and brazenly sat on the main seat, imposing and full of momentum, instead arranging for Liu Zhongchang to sit in the side seat.

"This…"

Liu Zhongchang frowned inwardly at the sight.

Logically speaking, Wei Tanzhi was one rank higher in officialdom and should take the seat of honor, but he was the head of the Yamen, the host, and he should be the one to arrange it.

Of course, Liu Zhongchang was not an inexperienced young man without any city, and he did not flare up, but instead shifted his gaze to size up Wei Tanzhi.

If he hadn't looked, it wouldn't have mattered, but upon this look, Liu Zhongchang's expression changed slightly.

"Heaven and Man Interacting!"

"Brother Liu has good eyes."

Wei Tanzhi was high-spirited, with a hint of smugness on his face.

This time, the encirclement and suppression of the Immortal Trace Secret Realm, although there was the regret of Lin Shoulong's martyrdom, overall, the battle was a great victory, killing more than a dozen Yin God experts, obtaining several Immortal martial arts, and making great contributions, the harvest was enormous.

"Having made great contributions this time, the imperial court has bestowed [Altar of Earth and Grain Dragon Tiger Qi], with the help of [Altar of Earth and Grain Dragon Tiger Qi] baptism, coupled with the deep accumulation of usual, I have initially stepped into the realm of [Heaven and Man Interacting]."

As he spoke, Wei Tanzhi felt extremely happy in his heart.

Previously, he had disregarded the Lesser Grandmaster An Jishi and risked attacking Qiu Zhen, who was suspected of being a "reborn old monster of cultivation," in order to make contributions and ask the imperial court to bestow [Altar of Earth and Grain Dragon Tiger Qi] to help him impact the "Heaven and Man Interacting" realm.

It was a pity that he had been rejected last time.

Now, it was finally complete, and his previous grievances had vanished.

"He really broke through."

Liu Zhongchang was secretly surprised as he listened to Wei Tanzhi's words.

"Heaven and Man Interacting" was the first step for an Inner Scene martial artist to impact the "Outer Scene" Grandmaster realm.

To step into the Grandmaster realm of [Heaven and Man as One], the first step was "Heaven and Man Interacting," the Inner Scene in the body interacted with the Outer Scene of heaven and earth, martial artists called it "Heaven and Man Interacting," also known as "Lesser Grandmaster."

An Jishi of Medicine King Valley was in the "Heaven and Man Interacting" realm.

However, An Jishi's "Heaven and Man Interacting" realm was even deeper, and he could "Heaven and Man as One" at any time.

Wei Tanzhi had just entered "Heaven and Man Interacting," and he had done so with the help of the external force of [Altar of Earth and Grain Dragon Tiger Qi], his skill was much worse.

Of course, no matter the skill, whether external force was used or not, being able to step into "Heaven and Man Interacting" was extremely remarkable, half a foot into the Grandmaster realm.

"Congratulations to Commander Wei for taking a crucial step."

Liu Zhongchang spoke insincerely, offering a casual congratulation, but a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.

Wei Tanzhi had come to find him today, was it specifically to show off and flaunt his power?

It probably wouldn't be that simple.

"Hehe."

Wei Tanzhi noticed Liu Zhongchang's vigilance and smiled lightly:

"Brother Liu, you probably guessed my intention, I heard that you have a [Innate Transforming Spirit Qi], I wonder if you can lend it to your brother for a while, when I formally step into the Grandmaster realm, I will definitely return it to you."

"Commander Wei, you must have misunderstood, our Liu family can't compare to your Wei family, how could we have such a treasure!"

Liu Zhongchang's heart was filled with stormy waves when he heard the other party's intention.

This [Innate Transforming Spirit Qi] was a treasure related to the Grandmaster realm.

In the path of cultivation, there was the saying of Inner Scene and Outer Scene.

Inner Scene was the image of flesh, bones, muscles, viscera, and organs within the body, it was the spirit within the body, martial arts cultivated into Inner Scene, spirit was born within the body, one punch out, all spirits followed, a myriad of phenomena.

Outer Scene referred to the image of the sun, moon, stars, and clouds, referring to the natural world.

Heaven and Man Interacting, one could communicate the Inner Scene with the Outer Scene of heaven and earth, using oneself to leverage heaven and earth, thus transcending the ordinary and reaching an incredible realm of martial arts.

However, communicating with the Outer Scene of heaven and earth was not an easy task.

Even if one stepped into the "Heaven and Man Interacting" realm, one was still far from the real "Heaven and Man as One," there was still a lot of skill needed.

To take this step, besides comprehending it usually, there was also a "shortcut."

That was the [Innate Transforming Spirit Qi].

This thing was a treasure formed by the condensation and transformation of the innate essence Qi of heaven and earth, it was a "miniature" of the Outer Scene of heaven and earth, [Innate Transforming Spirit Qi] could assist those in the "Heaven and Man Interacting" realm to comprehend "Heaven and Man as One."

In addition, [Innate Transforming Spirit Qi] was also one of the treasures for condensing the Outer Scene Dharma Form.

The preciousness of this thing was self-evident.

He did indeed have the treasure.

The [Innate Transforming Spirit Qi] in his hand was prepared for him by his family, and few people knew about it.

However, he never expected that Wei Tanzhi would find out, and the other party would actually set his sights on him.

"Brother Liu, whether you have [Innate Transforming Spirit Qi] or not, you and I know it clearly."

Wei Tanzhi waved his hand, not giving Liu Zhongchang a chance to take it back at all, his expression leisurely:

"I am only borrowing it from my brother, it's not like I won't return it to you, you and I have always been on good terms, well water does not violate river water, even if something happened to your family, I was the one who covered for you, I didn't even ask for a favor, I've been very kind to you."

Liu Zhongchang frowned slightly upon hearing this:

"Commander Wei, what do you mean by this?"

"Brother Liu, you don't want the secret of your younger sister Wanqiu to be known, do you…"

Just then, a clear and cold voice echoed from outside the house.

"Wei Tanzhi, what secret do I have, you might as well tell me."

Liu Zhongchang's expression changed upon hearing this.

Wei Tanzhi was stunned, a playful look on his face:

"What a coincidence."
