Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 142: Complete Collection of Spiritual Food?

After everyone returned to the county government office, everything was back to normal.

Just as Witch Officer Jiang said, although there was a lack of a chief clerk, the operation of the county government was not greatly affected.

Originally, the specific work was done by the people from the Sixth Office and the Third Shift. When the county magistrate returned to the yamen, he took over all the matters that Zheng Quan had been in charge of before and handled them without any mistakes.

Originally, the clerks of the Sixth House thought that Shang Lu would compete with the county magistrate for power, and had even prepared to show their loyalty to Shang Lu. However, this did not happen.

Shang Lu just wanted to do his job as county lieutenant well, and he didn't want to interfere in other matters.

If you have extra time, wouldn’t it be better to use it to cultivate yourself? Why bother yourself with paperwork?
At first, the county magistrate was afraid that Shang Lu would compete with him for power.

He knew very well that Shang Lu had a witch official behind him, and he would never be able to win the power struggle.

For this reason, he even went to talk to Shang Lu, but he found that Shang Lu had never thought of competing with him for power.

The county magistrate was overjoyed and regretted that he had not met such a good colleague earlier. However, he did not know that Shang Lu was also very satisfied with him.

Shang Lu felt relieved to have such a colleague who was willing to work.

After sending away the county magistrate who was full of fighting spirit, Shang Lu went to the prison.

The few people who had been captured before, including the clerk who had been bewitched by the God of Blood Year, were taken away by two witch officers from the Department of Discipline.

Before being taken away, these people confessed a lot of things under torture.

Shang Lu checked their interrogation notes and found that Feng Boyuan was right. The number of demons and foreign spies coming to Luoshui County was no less than before.

It's just that these guys all moved to the dark.

This makes the search and capture of them much more difficult.

"It seems that we must strengthen patrols in the county and improve the means of warning and reinforcement..."

Shang Lu thought that once the border troops arrived, he would select elite troops to form patrol teams and make county inspections a regular practice.

After leaving the prison and returning to the county magistrate's office, Shang Lu summoned several squad leaders and hundreds of local militiamen.

First, he ordered them to speed up the training of new recruits, and then asked them to send people to replace the yamen runners and militiamen guarding Yunhua Mountain and send them to the Wu Temple for examination.

At Shang Lu's suggestion, Witch Officers Jiang and Cui decided to normalize the inspection work and randomly check a group of people every now and then to prevent evil spirits and foreign spies from infiltrating the Luoshui County Government.

The invitation sent by Witch Officer Jiang to Shang Lu had a lot to do with the suggestion he made.

After arranging the specific work, Shang Lu asked several squad leaders and generals to recommend some experts who were good at tracking, investigating and collecting evidence, and asked them to think carefully about how to improve the means of warning and reinforcement after they went down.

One person's plan is short, two people's plan is long. Listening to other people's suggestions can broaden your thinking and help you find good solutions.

After several squad leaders and militiamen left, Shang Lu stayed in the county lieutenant's office and continued to handle official business until it was time to adjourn the office, and then he went home after get off work.

After taking off his bloodstained green robe and changing into casual clothes, Shang Lu went to the next yard to report his safety to his parents.

The two old people are not quite used to life in the county town, but they are trying hard to adapt.

After having dinner with his parents, Shang Lu returned to his home.

He originally planned to cultivate and hatch the piece of Blood Tai Sui's meat and the bunch of Air-eating Centipede eggs according to the method he knew.

It turned out that Sanniang had already done these things for him.

It’s just that the training method is slightly different from what he knows.

Shang Lu couldn't help asking, "Sanniang, did you make a mistake? The cultivation of Blood Tai Sui should be soaked in clean water and placed in a ventilated and dark place. Why did you soak it in Jiao blood and put it in the sun? And the eggs of the Air Devouring Centipede should be placed in an airtight and light-proof box. Why did you put it in the soil? Didn't I seize a box from the Blood Sui God? Why didn't you use it?"

“This is the method in the book.”

Sanniang replied, "If we follow your method, we can also cultivate the Blood Tai Sui and hatch the Air Devouring Centipede, but the effect will not be as good as this. Especially the Air Devouring Centipede, after it is cultivated, it will have a very strong vicious aura, which can easily have a bad effect on your body."

Shang Lu was stunned when he heard this and asked curiously: "Methods in the book? What book?"

Sanniang said, "It's the book you got in the secret realm."

Shang Lu was overjoyed: "Is this the book left by Senior Chu Yun? Have you translated it?"

Sanniang nodded: "These few days, I referred to the word book and found the corresponding ancient characters. I compared them one by one and translated some of the content. It just happened to contain the cultivation and consumption methods of the Blood Tai Sui, as well as the hatching and cooking recipes of the Air Devouring Centipede..." "Okay... Hey, wait."

Shang Lu was stunned: "How to eat it? Cooking recipes? Is this what Senior Chu Yun recorded in his book? Is there no cultivation method?"

“I haven’t seen it yet.”

Sanniang shook her head and said, "The content I have translated now is mainly recipes, and there are also some methods for growing and cultivating ingredients..."

"Are these Senior Chu Yun's greatest skills? This ancient senior is actually a big foodie?"

Shang Lu was surprised but also a little disappointed.

He originally thought that what Chu Yun left him was some advanced skills or powerful magic.

I didn’t expect it to be a recipe?

Just as I was feeling disappointed, I heard Sanniang say, "Among the contents that have been translated so far, in addition to Blood Tai Sui, there is also a spiritual food called Refining Marrow Soup, which is very helpful in refining blood and transforming marrow."

"Really?"

Shang Lu immediately became interested and hurriedly pulled Sanniang aside to ask her in detail.

After some understanding, he realized that the recipe Chu Yun gave was not simple.

Every spiritual meal recorded in the book has surprising effects.

Some spiritual foods can improve your cultivation after eating them.

Some can heal injuries and speed up recovery.

Some spiritual foods can even increase the chances of achieving a breakthrough.

There are also some weird spiritual foods that can play a role in fighting with the enemy, such as increasing speed, enhancing strength and so on.

There are many different effects.

"The effects of these spiritual foods are almost the same as those of medicinal pills..."

Shang Lu was amazed and finally no longer disappointed.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that in ancient times, the sect that Chu Yun belonged to was good at "eating"?
Cook various spiritual objects into dishes and eat them, then absorb the spiritual energy and refine it for your own use?

If that's true, it suits him perfectly!

He has the five internal organs, the spleen and the liver. No matter what kind of spiritual food he eats, he can digest and absorb it with very good results.

"How do I make the Blood Tai Sui? And what ingredients are needed for the marrow refining soup?"

Shang Lu had originally planned to refine blood and produce marrow in order to reach the marrow cleansing stage. These two spiritual meals came at the right time.

"The ingredients needed for the marrow refining soup are blood ginseng and yellow wine..."

Sanniang called out names one after another, and Shang Lu listened very carefully.

What surprised him was that the ingredients and herbs used in the magical dish, Refining Marrow Soup, were relatively common.

Not only are there no hard-to-find special materials, there are also no food or medicinal materials that only existed in ancient times and are now extinct.

The only thing that Shang Lu is unsure about is whether the effects of the food and medicinal materials in ancient times are the same as those of today?
I'm afraid we can only know the answer after we make the spiritual food.

Shang Lu went out immediately and purchased all the necessary food and medicinal materials before it got dark and the curfew began.

When he returned home with these things, Sanniang had already cut off a piece of Blood Tai Sui meat and cleaned it. She was just waiting for him to bring back the ingredients and side dishes so that she could put them in the pot.

The couple worked together and quickly prepared the ingredients, then cooked them according to Professor Chu Yun's method.

After a while, the tempting aroma emanated from the Tai Sui meat, and Shang Lu was so greedy that he started drooling.

The marrow-refining soup cooking in the other pot also emitted a strange fragrance.

The fragrance was pungent and strong. Just by smelling it, Shanglu felt that the blood in his body seemed to be ignited and boiling.
