Chapter 84 Mr. Luo

After the man made his assurance, he put the jade slip against his forehead, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then opened his eyes and said to Zhou Yiqiao.

"There are very few monks among casual cultivators who possess the art of alchemy, let alone a second-level alchemist like Brother Xiang."

"Nowadays, there are many vacancies in the field of alchemy. If you are eager to be promoted, I suggest you choose the position of alchemist in the alchemy workshop."

"If brothers like to have more leisure time, you can choose to guard the spiritual plant warehouse."

Zhou Yiqiao originally wanted to stay away from the dispute, so he took out the bronze medal symbolizing his status and immediately spoke.

"I'm used to being undisciplined, so I'll choose the position of guarding the spiritual plant warehouse."

The other party heard this without doubting that he was there. Although most of the Xuanwei Army were people who were eager for achievements, there were always some monks who liked stability. Everyone had their own ambitions. It was not easy for this person to advise Zhou Yiqiao.

He took Zhou Yiqiao's bronze medal, recorded his position in the bronze medal, and returned it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"In this way, fellow Taoist can report to the Lingzhi Warehouse. The specific location has been recorded in the identity token."

"Excuse me, fellow Taoist."

Zhou Yiqiao took the token and expressed his thanks.

"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake. As a second-level alchemist, brother, don't forget to support me when you become prosperous in the future."

The man responded with a smile and watched Zhou Yiqiao turn and leave.

Zhou Yiqiao walked along the path marked on the token, and soon came to a spacious hall.

"Stop, what's the matter?!"

As soon as Zhou Yiqiao took a few steps here, two solemn-looking guards blocked Zhou Yiqiao's way.

Zhou Yi took out his identity token and handed it to someone without changing his expression.

"I am the newly appointed guard of the Lingzhi Warehouse."

"Guardian of the Lingzhi Warehouse? I didn't expect that you are the new alchemist who joined the Xuanwei Army!"

The man took the token and after confirming that the information was correct, his attitude instantly became respectful.

"Wait a moment, your Excellency, the Lingzhi Warehouse is an important place, and I need to inform you first."

The guard handed the token to Zhou Yiqiao, clasped his fists in a salute, and ran towards the hall.

After a while, the guard came back again.

"Fellow Taoist, please follow me."

After the guard made an invitation gesture, he led Zhou Yiqiao towards the other side. Soon, the two of them stopped in front of a closed stone gate.

"Deacon Luo, the new fellow Taoist has been brought here."

After the guard knocked on the door twice, he held his hands and said inside.

"Well, let him in."

Deacon Luo's slightly old voice came out from the stone door.

The guard took the order, turned around and bowed to Zhou Yiqiao.

"The warehouse is in an important location and it is inconvenient for me to enter, so fellow Taoist can only go in alone."

"Thank you fellow Taoist for the introduction."

Zhou Yiqiao bowed his hands and watched the guards leave before walking into the stone chamber.

The entire stone chamber is a huge space, about hundreds of feet square. There are several giant wooden shelves placed on its four walls and corners. On each wooden shelf, there are spiritual plants of different shapes placed in order.

In the center of the hall, there are three huge black and red pillars more than ten meters high. The tops of the giant pillars are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and there is a faint light, which is obviously a restriction.

Zhou Yiqiao looked around and walked slowly towards the depths of the stone chamber. After a while, he found a thick black iron door near the depths of the stone chamber.

"crunch~"

With a dull sound, the door was slowly pushed open, and Zhou Yiqiao stepped in.

There are also several rows of wooden frames placed inside the gate, but the quality of the spiritual plants on them is obviously much better than those outside.

At this time, an old man was flying out of thin air in front of a wooden frame, counting spiritual plants, and said to Zhou Yiqiao without looking back.

"None of the alchemists who join the Xuanwei Army are arrogant. I didn't expect that there would be a little guy willing to work in Lingzhi Warehouse."

"My name is Luo Chang'an. I am the administrator responsible for inspecting spiritual plants and the deacon here. You can call me Mr. Luo."

After saying that, the old man landed on the ground and came to Zhou Yiqiao in one step.

The old man is thin, with white beard and hair, loose skin folds and sunken cheeks.

The muddy old eyes could not see any sharpness or sharpness, and his aura was the same as that of a mortal, as if he was dying of old age, and he could not clearly see this person's cultivation level.

"Junior Zhou Yiqiao pays homage to Uncle Luo."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Zhou Yiqiao did not dare to neglect and immediately bowed his hands.

When the old man saw this, his slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Zhou Yiqiao without hesitation.

"Although the Emperor of Chu does not restrict the practice of demonic techniques within the territory, he does prohibit the indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Don't forget, little guy, you will get into trouble."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard that the alarm bells were ringing, his mind was racing, but he heard Mr. Luo speaking with a smile again.

"There's no need to hide it. Although you don't have demonic nature, you are quite proficient in using demonic skills and you do have some talent. I don't care about your birth, as long as you can help me guard this huge spiritual plant warehouse."

After saying that, Mr. Luo threw a storage ring and a verdant green jade talisman to Zhou Yiqiao, and instantly returned to his original position, counting the spiritual plants over and over again, and said.

"There is a Buddhist technique in the ring that can help you suppress the evil energy in your body without being noticed by others."

"After today, unless they are special elixirs or precious alchemy materials, they will all be under your jurisdiction after being stored in the warehouse."

"If you run into trouble, you can crush that jade talisman and contact me."

The horror in Zhou Yiqiao's heart had not subsided yet, so he forced himself to calmly answer with his hands raised.

"I sincerely follow Uncle Luo's teachings."

Mr. Luo waved his hand and did not look back.

"Okay, if nothing happens, you can go back to the barracks now and officially take office starting tomorrow."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao bowed again and retreated to the iron gate before turning around and leaving the stone room.

After leaving the stone room, Zhou Yiqiao left the inn and officially moved into the Xuanwei Army camp.

He used his spiritual consciousness to scan the entire barracks to make sure there was no prying eyes. After activating the restriction by pinching the magic formula with his hand, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't wait to take out the Buddhist and Taoist skills from the storage ring.

The Buddhist and Taoist practice is called "The Art of Cowardly Evil", and its only effect is to help monks calm down and drive away evil spirits.

Zhou Yiqiao read through the Qie Sha Jue carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he memorized the content of the technique, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to practice this technique.

The Qie Sha Jue is peaceful and simple, and even though Zhou Yiqiao was careful not to practice even an inch without stopping to check again and again to see if there was anything unusual, he had completely mastered it by the next morning.

Feeling that his heart, which had been agitated since he practiced the Seven Kills and Breaking the Cocoon Technique, became calmer, Zhou Yiqiao finally felt at ease.

Looking at the pale sky outside the camp, Zhou Yiqiao slowly finished his work and fled towards the Lingzhi Warehouse, officially starting his path of cultivation in the Xuanwei Army.
