Do not die

After returning to Zuowang Pavilion and finishing today's unfinished task of making talismans, Meng Zhou reviewed today's conversation with Chu Zheng.

I deduced in my mind what changes it would bring to the existing structure of Nuanyun Valley, and how all parties would be affected.

With the emergence of professional associations, how should they get along with various forces and how should they position themselves against each other?

How should the professionals within the various forces be characterized?

How should professionals in forces that have conflicts, competition, or even hostility with each other deal with themselves?

These thorny issues must be addressed and resolved by professional associations and various forces as soon as possible.

A new force like the Professionals Association, which has never appeared before, has to be embedded into the existing practice ecology of Nuanyun Valley. No matter how the Professionals Association declares its position, it will not matter if there is a lot of fighting before reaching a compromise and consensus with all parties. It is inevitable no matter what.

With such a huge change, every monk and every force in Nuanyun Valley must be involved.

Until all this is sorted out, no force will have the time to spend extra time on a pharmacist like him.

What's more, now is the time when professional associations are emerging and based on establishing credibility and prestige. A slight mishandling may become a negative example that will be criticized by the entire professional association.

Therefore, for a long time in the future, Meng Zhou will not have to worry about being maliciously harassed because of his status as a pharmacist.

As for after this storm has passed...

Meng Zhou looked at his current cultivation progress, which was "89/100 at the fifth level of Qi training." When the practice ends tonight, this data will become "96/100 at the fifth level of Qi training."

One step further and it's right in front of you.

Therefore, when this storm is over, he is confident that he can calmly deal with any existence in Nuanyun Valley.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou closed his eyes calmly, the magic power in his body circulated around the sky, and he quickly devoted himself to practice.

The next day, the Flying Arrow Talisman was promoted from the first level to the small level, and his attainments in Talismans were improved again.

With the help of the trial and error method, another rubbing stone diagram was cracked, and the experience was +1.

"Introduction to Knotting: 4/100".

That afternoon, Yu Peng came to visit. He has now officially moved to Zuowang Hall and is next to Meng Zhou.

This place will also serve as a temporary clinic. From now on, Meng Zhou will no longer have to travel back and forth every time and waste too much time on the road.

night.

Meng Zhou sat cross-legged on the bed, his magic power moving around the sky and circulating continuously.

At a certain moment, as a clear sense of barrier breaking spread throughout the body, the mana extended to some new corners.

Cultivation level is promoted, and Qi training is at the sixth level.

The next morning, after a night of practice, Meng Zhou checked the changes brought about by last night's breakthrough.

…

[Life span: 51/78 years] (+3 years)

[Realm: Sixth Level of Qi Training: 1/100]

[Exercise: Water Nourishing and Moisturizing Technique Master: 336/1200]

…

In the afternoon, Meng Zhou arrived at the stone room where Yu Peng lived on time.

In the small living room, six people, including Yu Peng, were sitting, because in addition to Miao Lin, who accompanied the Taoist couple, there was a new patient added at Meng Zhou's request.

The six people were talking about something, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Seeing Meng Zhou come in, everyone, whether it was a new patient they were seeing for the first time or an old patient, stopped talking and greeted him: "Pharmacist Zhou."

Meng Zhou smiled and nodded in response, asking, "What are you talking about?"

Yu Peng said: "Uncle Zhou, everyone is talking about the establishment of the Professionals Association."

"Has it spread completely?"

Meng Zhou nodded. Everyone present, except for the "alchemy tester" Yan Xiong, were all professionals. The establishment of the Professionals Association was related to their vital interests, so it was reasonable to have such a heated discussion.

Meng Zhou was already skilled in diagnosing and treating an old patient, and said to him: "You have to tell me what you have to say, and I just want to listen. Don't worry, the treatment will not be delayed."

From everyone's exchanges, the establishment of the Professionals Association has spread rapidly to all aspects of Nuanyun Valley.

One of the effects made Meng Zhou feel a little mysterious.

"Heshengtang has put a lot of thought into this auction, and in order to build momentum, it has promised many benefits to other forces.

It's a good thing now. Seeing that the original auction date is approaching, something like this suddenly happened. Who has the heart to pay attention to Heshengtang's auction now?

I heard that Heshengtang is already discussing internally to change the auction date. "

Meng Zhou was amused. Could this be a conflict between Shengtang and himself?

So far, although there have been occasional auctions in Nuanyun Valley, they have been small in scale and not very popular, and have not formed a routine. He Shengtang is obviously targeting this area.

What they want is not this auction, but they hope to use the momentum and reputation created for the first time to fix it and form a routine.

In order to warm up in advance and create an atmosphere, I don’t know how much effort was spent, but now on the eve of the realization, the sudden appearance of the Professionals Association grabbed the headlines.

Are the senior executives of Heshengtang, who are making a lot of calculations in their minds, so angry that they vomit blood?

After today's treatment, the patients said goodbye and left one by one.

Yan Xiong and Miao Lin, who finally completed the diagnosis and treatment, did not leave the Zuowang Hall.

The two of them had already moved to Zuowang Hall, booked a water and fire room where they could practice alchemy, and decided to stay here for a long time.

In order to prevent Meng Zhou from misunderstanding, the two of them specifically informed him.

When consulting other patients, taking into account the other person's condition and maximizing his own experience, Meng Zhou divided the treatment cycle into four times.

The only exception is Yan Xiong, because the accumulation of poison in his body is too deep and heavy. With the current progress, it is impossible to cure him even if it is divided into ten times.

This is what he clearly informed the two of them after completing the first treatment. The two of them moved here to save themselves the pain of traveling back and forth.

Meng Zhou is also very satisfied with the current situation.

It took no more time to complete the diagnosis and treatment of four patients, and gained a lot more experience.

The most frequently used treatment techniques were the first to reach the master level, and the Golden Light Technique and Qi Regulating Technique also advanced to the master level when they completed the diagnosis and treatment of the last person.

Other spells, including the rejuvenation spell that was finally learned, have all reached the level of mastery due to frequent use.

Because of these achievements, Meng Zhou's understanding of the role of a pharmacist has been greatly improved.

"Pharmacist level 1 55/100".

This is already the professional level of a senior first-level mid-level player.

…

Five days later.

In the stone chamber.

Meng Zhou sat in front of his desk, his eyes fixed on the changes on the table.

A tattered soul-sealing box was wrapped round and round by a green-colored string.

The remaining spirituality in the spirit-sealing box made of spiritual wood is rapidly draining away and is being transferred to the string.

And with the spiritual enrichment, the spirituality around the string becomes more and more active.

When the last bit of spirituality on the spirit sealing box disappeared and shattered into pieces, Meng Zhou clearly felt a feeling of satisfaction pass into his heart.

After a while, a clearer idea came into his mind.

That is... the rope spirit is eager to try, and wants to help Meng Zhou quickly decipher the mystery of the stone rubbings under its active guidance like it did for the first time.

Meng Zhou thought about it seriously and refused.

As a feeling of regret spread, Rope Spirit fell into silence again.

If cracking the stone rubbings was still as difficult as before, Meng Zhou would have agreed without hesitation when faced with the temptation to look at the answer directly.

But now the cracking of stone rubbings is on the right track. In the past two days, it has even reached the high efficiency of breaking two in a row.

With such confidence, he didn't want Rope Spirit to interfere too much.

Today, with the completion of the cracking of the tenth stone rubbing, the information about the "Rope Master" and "Rope Spirit" that had not changed for a long time has undergone new changes.

From "First Order 1/100" to "First Order 2/100", another step forward.

The progress of the Knot Master has not changed significantly.

But the changes in the rope spirit are very obvious. It seems to have been sleeping these days and once again conveys the emotion of hunger and thirst.

Meng Zhou took out the spirit-sealing box that had not been "eaten" last time and had been chewed into pits, and then put it up.

The string that looked like a dead thing a moment ago suddenly moved like a snake's body, coiling around the entire spirit sealing box.

It was not until the last bit of spirituality disappeared from it that there was a feeling of contentment.

Looking at the remains of the spirit sealing box that had turned into a ball of waste on the table, Meng Zhou had a hunch that a real big spender of spirit stones had appeared.

According to the current trend, every step of the rope spirit's growth must consume a lot of spiritual materials.

Moreover, in order that its growth would not be affected by spiritual materials, Meng Zhou decided to reserve some in advance.

After taking stock of the results of the talisman making these days, Meng Zhou planned to go to the market after completing the diagnosis and treatment tomorrow, collecting another consultation fee.
