100 ways to stop a stand-in

The Chu family is a family of pharmacists. There have been three intermediate pharmacists in the ancestors. Among them, the current patriarch Chu Qingcang is a rare and amazing genius pharmacist. He once refined it in one fell swoop in the annual pharmacist competition. He obtained five sixth-grade earth-level elixirs and won the first place. After obtaining the qualification of an intermediate pharmacist, it took more than ten years to refine a seventh-grade earth-level elixir.

At that time, his age was not even over a hundred years old. For the Xuantian Continent where the average life expectancy is more than [-] years old, his future is really immeasurable. Pharmacist's genius figure.

But maybe it was too sharp, Chu Qingcang gained countless followers, but also became a thorn in the flesh of many people. No matter which sect recruited such a pharmacist, it would be a disaster for other sect forces , Therefore, a disaster just happened without warning but as it should.

At the age of 150, Chu Qingcang went on a trip, looking for precious spiritual herbs along the way, as well as looking for the flame of his own life to subdue him, and began to prepare to challenge the senior pharmacist.

But when he left, there was no news since then, and he had been missing for decades. If it weren't for the faint white light of his natal jade tablet in the ancestral hall at home, even the members of the Chu family would have been killed. Thought their patriarch was dead.

When Chu Qingcang was there, the Chu family took root in the central main city of Xuantian Continent, and was highly respected and had countless followers. However, after Chu Qingcang disappeared, the situation immediately took a turn for the worse.In the beginning, there were people who used Chu Qingcang's face to protect the Chu family, but as he disappeared for longer and longer, these people gradually stopped thinking, only thinking that he had really encountered an accident and lost The Chu family that has lost Chu Qingcang is no longer enough for them to come forward to protect them. The attitude of these sects is seen by those who care, and they naturally understand what this means.

The status of the Chu family in the city became more and more embarrassing. Chu Qingcang's only younger brother, Chu Qingze, made a decisive decision and quietly led the family to move out of the main city to a small traffic-blocked small town on the border of the Xuantian Continent. city.

In this city, the Chu family has lost all of its aura, without the support and loyalty of tens of thousands of people, but fortunately, it can be regarded as a peaceful life. Naturally, the quality of life in the main city is incomparable, but the Chu family is not They have no background, and most of the Chu family are pharmacists. Although they are all low-level pharmacists, they can live well and be respected in this small border town.

Originally thought that their Chu family would have to keep their names incognito here, but they didn't expect things to turn around. After Chu Qingcang disappeared, Chu Qingze, who took over as the head of the family, and his wife gave birth to a son, and that child was the original owner, Chu Qingze. Zheng.

Since Chu Zheng was born, he was destined to bear the hope of everyone in the Chu family. He is a natural medicine body that is rare in thousands of years. It is a unique advantage, not to mention that Chu Zheng has been very smart since he was a child, and he has a strong understanding of refining medicine. He passed the qualification examination for junior pharmacists at the age of seven, and even passed the annual pharmacist qualification examination at the age of 27. He passed the assessment in the big competition. No matter his age or his ability to refine medicine, he was even better than the astonishingly talented Chu Qingcang back then.

If you can find your own natal flame during the training process, it is not impossible to break through the high-level pharmacist!

But because of Chu Qingcang's example, the Chu family, who have been silent for many years, are proud of Chu Zheng's excellence, but they are always cautious, for fear that he will show his sharpness like Chu Qingcang, and the current Chu family can't protect him at all. he.

The consequence of showing too much sharpness is likely to make enemies everywhere, and finally be praised and killed.

Therefore, even though Chu Zheng is a genius, the Chu family protects him, and Chu Zheng deliberately hides his clumsiness. When participating in the pharmacist competition, he also took a kind of elixir left by Chu Qingcang that can hide his age and appearance for a short time. , so no waves were set off.

If all goes well, Chu Zheng should have grown up silently, indulged in refining medicine, constantly improved his level of refining medicine, then went out to travel to find his own natal flame, and finally broke through the barrier in one fell swoop, becoming a highly respected generation of senior pharmacists, sheltered The Chu family has existed for hundreds of years.

But if things really go that smoothly, there will be nothing wrong with Jiang You.

On the evening of the day when Chu Zheng obtained his intermediate pharmacist qualification certificate, a young boy came to the Chu family, claiming to be Chu Qingcang's adopted son, and came to look for his father after several rounds.

Because the young man had Chu Qingcang's token and a letter written by him, the Chu family arranged for him to live in the Chu family after asking the reason.

This little boy was originally named Jingtian, and after being recognized by Chu Qingcang as his adopted son, he took the surname of Chu from Chu Qingcang.Ever since Chu Jingtian returned to the Chu family, out of respect and longing for his elder brother, Chu Qingze almost loved Chu Jingtian as his own son.

During the process of getting along, Chu Jingtian confides his secret to the Chu family. It turns out that Chu Jingtian is also born with a medicinal body!This news made everyone in the Chu family very excited. Two natural medicine bodies are undoubtedly equivalent to two intermediate pharmacists. This is a grand event that has never happened even in a family of pharmacists like the Chu family. happened!Although he was not the eldest brother's biological son, he was given the surname Chu, which was equivalent to half the son of the Chu family. This made the Chu family not excited.

Chu Qingze, who already loved Chu Jingtian very much, asked him to learn how to refine medicine with Chu Zheng directly after learning about this incident. Whatever the Chu family got, Chu Jingtian would have everything that Chu Zheng had. There must be.

However, what Chu Qingze didn't know at all was that Chu Jingtian's arrival did not bring prosperity and hope, but disaster and nightmare.

On the surface, Chu Jingtian looks mature, stable, modest and indifferent, but that is actually just an appearance, but in fact he is a cynical, narrow-minded hypocrite, a real villain.

Chu Jingtian was born in a small, backward and closed city. He had no parents when he was a child, so he was bullied by others. During getting along, he discovered that he was actually an extremely rare natural medicine body, so he was moved with compassion, adopted him as a foster son, and taught him to learn pharmacology and practice medicine refining techniques.

It's a pity that Chu Qingcang was traveling abroad and hadn't found his natal flame yet, and the next journey was too dangerous. He was worried that he would be in danger if he took Chu Jingtian with him, so he gave him a token. If he encountered any difficulties , you can go to the central city to find the Chu family.

But who would have expected that Chu Qingcang would disappear after that farewell, and when the adult Chu Jingtian took the token and went to the central city to look for the Chu family, the Chu family had already moved out of the central city.

Chu Jingtian searched for a long time, and finally got some news from a merchant who went out to buy goods from a small border town, and finally came to the Chu family.

However, the situation of the Chu family was quite different from what he had imagined. He thought that with his natural medicine body and his status as an intermediate pharmacist, the Chu family would definitely be grateful, and they would please and attract their attention. Lean to him.

But unexpectedly, the Chu family actually had a genius!

Since then, Chu Zheng has become a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh.

The most terrible thing is that the day when those senior pharmacists will accept their apprentices for a hundred years is getting closer. The Chu family, a family of pharmacists, has a recommended spot. They are both born with medicine bodies, and Chu Zheng is slightly higher than him. , and in the case of the Chu family's parent and child, who will this quota be given to?

Originally, with Chu Jingtian's level as an intermediate pharmacist at the time, knowing that Chu Qingcang was missing, there was absolutely no need to search for the fallen Chu family, but why did Chu Jingtian come?Of course, it's not for repaying kindness, but for the recommended quota in the hands of the Chu family, as well as the legendary treasure of the Chu family, the Desolate Heaven Medicine Cauldron.

But since Chu Jingtian has been in the Chu family for more than a year, he can't even get a recommended spot, let alone the legendary Huangtian medicine cauldron, which is completely unheard of.

Seeing that the general election is coming, Chu Jingtian couldn't bear it any longer. Rare things are more valuable. There can only be one natural medicinal body on the Xuantian Continent. As long as he kills Chu Zheng unknowingly, he will become the only one in the Chu family. Count on and rely on.

According to the development of the original plot, after Chu Jingtian killed Chu Zheng quietly, Chu Jingtian deceived the Chu family, successfully got the recommendation quota of the Chu family, and finally passed a The assessment of the senior pharmacist venerable became the closed disciple of that venerable, and has been on the rise since then.

But it is a pity that Chu Qingze, who has lost his beloved son, has never given up searching for the real culprit who killed his son for so many years. He almost used all the connections of the Chu family, and issued a list in the Xuantian Continent. The remaining Jiupin Dan Fang issued a reward, determined to find out the murderer.

When all the spearheads were pointed at Chu Jingtian, the truth finally surfaced. But at that time, Chu Jingtian had already reached the edge of senior pharmacist, and was only one step away from breaking through the intermediate level. It can be said that the future is bright.

And his master, Venerable Changqing, is extremely defensive. Under such circumstances, who would take the risk of offending two senior and quasi-senior pharmacists to punish Chu Jingtian.

Chu Qingze went bankrupt and failed to seek justice for his beloved son. Instead, the entire Chu family suffered annihilation and revenge. In the end, he died with guilt for his son and family. The injured, those who fled and those who fled scattered.

Just when everyone thought that this farce came to an end in such an embarrassing way, Chu Jingtian and Venerable Changqing were invigilated during a pharmacist competition, before everyone could react. Kill directly on the spot.

The person who came was none other than Chu Qingcang, the talented head of the Chu family who had been missing for many years.

No one knows where Chu Qingcang has been for the past 100 years, but they only know that when he came back, apart from his status as a senior pharmacist, he was actually a very powerful senior warrior.

The plot ends here, but Jiang You watched this episode over and over again for a long time, for no other reason, but because it was very different from the situation he encountered after crossing.

In the plot, Chu Jingtian should have killed Chu Zheng quietly, but when Jiang You crossed over, what he saw was that the entire Chu family was burned to the ground by a fire. How could such a big commotion be possible? He wanted to kill Chu Zheng quietly, which clearly meant to destroy the entire Chu family.

What's more, there were those masked men in black who followed Chu Jingtian. From their conversation, Jiang You found out that they should be looking for something in the Chu family, and reached a cooperation agreement.

Moreover, although he spent only a few minutes with Chu Jingtian, Jiang You found that he was completely different from Chu Jingtian in the plot. An out-and-out villain, although this kind of person often has a certain amount of scheming, he is definitely not that meticulous and cautious.

But the person who killed Jiang You that day, although he did not open his eyes to see the face of that person, Jiang You still remembers the creepy feeling that emanated from his body when that person approached. There is no room for it, and it is very careful and meticulous, with strong psychological endurance.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for these two personalities to appear in the same person, so in the end there is only one result that can explain this phenomenon, that is, the current Chu Jingtian is no longer the original Chu Jingtian.

Jiang You had a vague guess in his mind that the current Chu Jingtian was probably a time traveler, and he was quite calm and rational.

Just as Jiang You was thinking, his soul floating in the air suddenly felt drawn by something, and then his eyes went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, looking at the glare of the sun, Jiang You slowly raised his arms to cover his eyes.

The electronic voice that belongs to the system rang in the ears: [This repair has been completed. After the system detection, the world has undergone a change, the difficulty has doubled, and the reward points for task completion have doubled. Please prepare for the host. 】

Just after returning to this body, Jiang You moved a little uncomfortable, seeing that the bloody hole in his chest that had been blown out by Chu Jingtian had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

If it wasn't for the fact that the blood around him hadn't dried up, even Jiang You himself would have thought that sudden death was just a dream.

Jiang You stood up from the ground, let the system scan his body as usual, and the result was naturally perfect.Calculating the time, there is only half a year left before the once-in-a-century acceptance ceremony of those senior pharmacists.

The task this time was very short, only one sentence, to prevent Chu Jingtian from ascending the throne and help Chu Zheng fulfill his last wish.

Looking at that task, Jiang You was a little stunned, fulfilling his last wish, this is a task requirement that has never appeared in the previous worlds.

As if seeing Jiang You's doubts, the system called up one interface after another in a very smart way, and there was still only a short sentence on it: Become the best pharmacist in the Xuantian Continent, find the desolate medicine cauldron lost by the Chu family, protect The Chu family regained its former prosperity.

Jiang You narrowed his eyes, and asked, "What about the ceremony of accepting apprentices, besides the recommendation of the aristocratic family, is there any other way to participate?"

The system searched the database, and quickly sent the results to Jiang You's mind: [In addition to the recommendations from the five major families, there are also three major sects that also have recommendation quotas. 】

Jiang You frowned, and asked again: "Is there any reliable one? If I find a sect to join right now, I won't be able to get the recommended quota for a while."

The system explained very thoughtfully: [There is also the last one, which is civil selection. There are eight main cities in Xuantian Continent. Three months before the start of the apprenticeship ceremony, each city will call all the pharmacists in the city to compete. Layers of screening, each main city can retain two of the best pharmacists, and finally, after the selection of the eight cities, the selected pharmacists will complete the final competition in the central city, and the top three will get places in the apprentice hall. 】

After listening to the system's explanation, Jiang You rubbed the center of his brows. Although this is a bit troublesome, it is better than rushing to any of the three major sects to grab a spot.

Thinking of this, Jiang You finally felt a lot more relieved.He spent fifty points in exchange for five disguised meatballs. Now is not the time for Chu Zheng to appear. If Chu Jingtian finds out, no matter how capable he is, he cannot guarantee that he can avoid being chased and killed at the same time. , taking into account the search for the spiritual grass and spiritual plants needed for the assessment, and by the way, looking for his own natal flame. Now this Chu Jingtian is not an easy to deal with, it is a poisonous snake.

It is obviously unwise to confront him now, not to mention the fact that the ability Chu Jingtian displayed was not at all like what a pharmacist fighting the five scum could use. The explanation is that Chu Jingtian has found his natal flame, and it is a very rare and powerful fire.

And Jiang You has nothing now, even if he successfully won the places of the eight main cities with Chu Zheng's talent, but don't forget, it is just a place, and whether he can be selected by the senior pharmacists in the end depends Further assessment and competition are needed.

Both Chu Zheng and Chu Jingtian were born with medicinal bodies. Although Chu Zheng's comprehension in refining medicine was higher than Chu Jingtian's, it was only higher, and it was not a crushing advantage.In this case, a person who has the natal flame, and maybe has the support of the precious spiritual grass and spiritual plant, that advantage has already been wiped out and cannot be evened out.

Now Jiang You's top priority is to find his own natal flame and collect enough spiritual grass and spiritual plants to use in the competition.Originally, it seemed that high-grade spiritual plants could be encountered but not sought after. Once they were born, countless people would scramble for them. It was extremely difficult to get one, let alone gather enough spiritual plants to refine medicine, so Generally, pharmacists who want to participate in the competition will usually grit their teeth and attend some auctions, and buy some high-grade spiritual plants at a high price, hoping to use them to refine high-quality elixir.

It's a pity that Jiang You is poor, poor jingle, he has never been so poor since he bound the system, so poor that he almost can't even eat, so he can only go to the mountains hungry to find Lingzhi.

Fortunately, as an intermediate pharmacist, even the most ordinary spiritual plants can turn decay into magic in his hands, turning them into some good quality pills.Jiang You randomly collected some low-grade spiritual plants in the mountains, found a pharmacy, went in and rented a two-hour refining pharmacy, and after messing around in it, he came out with two small bottles of fourth-grade earth-level elixirs. It is a simple and practical hemostatic elixir. After the pharmacy owner appraised it, he readily paid for it and took it.

For example, in the small city where Jiang You is currently located, there are very few mid-level pharmacists, so the elixir in circulation on the market is basically low-level elixir below the third rank. People like Jiang You who have already reached the edge of mid-level pharmacists, the boss Naturally, he is willing to make friends, and the price given is quite reasonable.

Then Jiang You used the money to collect a batch of middle and low-grade spiritual plants from the market, and changed to a pharmacy for another two days. Pills, the types of pills have changed a little more this time, from those that stop bleeding and heal wounds to those that restore spiritual power, and those that restore physical strength, etc., all of which are bestsellers. Face consigns it all.

To Jiangyou, he only said that he had the good fortune to befriend a mid-level pharmacist, and he agreed to help that friend to sell it on consignment. In order to be more realistic, Jiangyou also specially asked the system to help him make a tattered sword. Going out for a stroll around pretending to be X or something, over time, although Jiang You never said it, in everyone's mind Jiang You has been equated with the sword repairer, plus the vicious card that Jiang You specially made No face, no one who doesn't have eyes would dare to provoke him.

After all those pills were sold, Jiang You had a lot of money in his hands, which was enough to live comfortably in this small city for half his life, but in fact, for the pharmacist, I'm afraid it was too much money. You can only buy one or two sixth-grade spiritual plants.

Jiang You didn't use the money to buy Lingzhi, but replaced it with a high-end storage ring, and stored a lot of daily necessities such as food and clothes in it, and then used the last remaining money to buy it. He picked up a teleportation scroll and teleported directly into the deep mountains and old forests.

Gaopin Lingzhi, for Jiang You who has a cheating weapon like the system, is it still worth buying? Naturally, he doesn't need it.

The system can capture the spiritual power emanating from Lingzhi, distinguish the grade of Lingzhi by judging and analyzing the strength of the spiritual power, and directly lock the location of Lingzhi, and what Jiang You needs to do is to shuttle in the deep mountains according to the route provided by the system It is enough to collect in the old forest.
