Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 217: Marrow Cleansing Completed, Qi Sea Damaged

Time flies by like a white horse.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed.

During these months, everything was peaceful in Luoshui County.

Even if there were evil spirits rushing towards the secret realm, most of them would give up the idea after seeing the rows of dried heads hanging on the city wall.

There were also a small group of stubborn demons and ghosts who wanted to give it a try, but they ended up becoming fertilizer, making the trees in the mountains grow more lush.

The witch formation in the secret realm of Yunhua Mountain was arranged and constructed in the past few months.

As the witch formation began to operate, the entire Yunhua Mountain was not impregnable, but it was also no longer a target for demons and evil spirits to attack.

At the foot of the mountain, the Jingguan built with the heads of demons and evil spirits is the best proof.

With the witch formation, Xu Tai no longer needs to bring county soldiers to stay in Yunhua Mountain for a long time to deploy defenses and guard.

Just send out a few patrol teams to take turns patrolling the mountains every day.

Even in this patrol work, the county soldiers are just supporting roles.

In secret, there were also paper figures, soldiers, spirit beasts, etc. sent by the witch officials to patrol.

Even if the county soldiers encountered an emergency, they did not have to deal with it. They only had to raise the alarm and the witch officers or witch formation would resolve it.

In addition to the witch formation, the development of the secret realm is also progressing smoothly.

This special area had previously caused Feng Boyuan and his men a lot of headaches and even resulted in the loss of several wizards. However, after they followed Shang Lu's advice and tried disguising themselves as animals, the wizards were able to successfully sneak in.

It is said that a lot of good things have been found in this area, and many witch formations that condense spiritual energy have been built.

In the past few months, Feng Boyuan has been staying in Yunhua Mountain, and Shang Lu has not seen him.

He could only contact Feng Boyuan through the conch shell and ask him some questions about cultivation, and also asked about the creation of remnant spirits and other matters.

Feng Boyuan told Shang Lu that the wizard who was good at refining weapons was in the wizard academy in the county seat.

Wait until the Witch Academy officially recruits new members and Shang Lu wants to go there, then introduce him to them.

As compensation, Feng Boyuan sent his soldiers to bring Shang Lu several bottles of spiritual fat and spiritual liquid produced in the secret realm of Yunhua Mountain.

At the same time, he also sent several secret books to Shang Lu.

These are the physical training techniques that were discovered while exploring and developing the secret realm of Yunhua Mountain.

These sets of skills are all formed by collecting the shapes and behaviors of animals. Shang Lu has practiced the Five Spirits Skills before, so practicing these sets of skills will have twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, these secret books are all translated manuscripts, and the originals have been sent to the county government.

Those spiritual fats and spiritual liquids, like the rewards Shang Lu had received from the imperial court before, contained a hint of evil spirit.

Just one or two bottles won't have any impact.

But if it is used too much, it is hard to guarantee that it will not affect people's mind.

Shang Lu thought that the spiritual fat and spiritual liquid awarded by the imperial court were defective products.

But the newly produced spiritual fat and spiritual liquid in the Yunhua Mountain Secret Realm are in the same situation. Shang Lu couldn't help but wonder, is it that the spiritual energy in the secret realm is inherently chaotic and unstable, or is there something wrong with the method used by the Witch Academy to condense spiritual energy?
Shang Lu asked Feng Boyuan about this situation by using clever tricks.

"It's because of the spiritual energy."

Feng Boyuan told Shang Lu that there was definitely no problem with the method of condensing spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy produced by the secret realm had too many unknown factors and changes, so it was normal to have evil spirits.

Feng Boyuan also comforted him: "Don't worry, when you enter the witch academy, you will learn the corresponding skills to help you expel the evil spirit in your body."

Although Shang Lu figured out the reason, he still had one question: Since the spiritual energy in the secret realm contained evil energy, why didn't they try to purify the evil energy when condensing it?
Haven’t you found a corresponding solution?
Or was it intentionally not purified?
Shang Lu did not ask these questions.

Sometimes asking too many questions is not a good thing.

Among the several sets of skills Feng Boyuan gave him that he had found in the secret realm, there was one called "Dragon Elephant True Skill", which could dramatically increase the practitioner's strength, speed, etc. by burning blood and energy.

The power of "Dragon Elephant True Art" is very strong, but it also consumes a lot of energy. However, Shang Lu can store blood and energy through the Liver God Statue, so the side effects of "Dragon Elephant True Art" are nothing to him.

On the contrary, this set of skills can be combined with the will to break through the enemy's formation to produce an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

In addition, there is a set of tiger claw skills, which trains the fingers to become claws. It is extremely powerful and bizarre.

There is also another set of Youlong Jin, which is a technique to release blood and energy.

It is possible to control the blood and energy more flexibly and freely, especially the externally released blood and energy. Both the power and sensitivity can be greatly enhanced, making the externally released blood and energy as powerful and swift as a dragon.

The court's rewards also came in these few months.

Shang Lu's official position was raised one level to the eighth rank.

Of course, this is the result of the accumulation of several contributions.

Otherwise, Shang Lu was promoted from a clerk to an official not long ago, and it would be almost impossible for him to be promoted to the next rank so quickly.

After all, Luoshui County is just a small inland county, not a border area, so promotions are not that fast.

Although he became an eighth-rank official, Shang Lu's job did not change. He was still the lieutenant of Luoshui County.

Feng Boyuan explained to Shang Lu: "Luoshui County still needs you, and I need you too. Please bear with it for a while. When the Witch Academy officially starts recruiting new members, I will find you a job in the county government."

Since Feng Boyuan said so, Shang Lu naturally had no objection.

Furthermore, before the Witch Academy recruited new members, his focus was on improving his cultivation.

He is familiar with Luoshui County and has capable assistants such as Feng Nan, Xu Tai, Tu Bin and others.

Even if a case occurs, these people can handle it. If they can't handle it, there are witch officials who will come forward.

This gave Shang Lu a lot of free time, and he could spend most of his time on practicing.

If he really changed places or jobs at this time, Shang Lu might not be able to concentrate on his cultivation.

After several months of concentrated practice, Shang Lu achieved considerable results.

Things like the Snake Whip Technique, the Five Spirits Skill, the Tiger Step Skill, and even the archery, the flying skills, and the determination to break into battle array, have all been practiced to perfection.

Because mathematics and arts are quite difficult, Shang Lu only practiced them to the great success level.

Also practiced to perfection were the Dragon Elephant Skill, Tiger Claw Skill and Swimming Dragon Power given by Feng Boyuan.

In addition to the exercises, Shang Lu also successfully completed the cleansing of his spinal cord and brain marrow, bringing his cultivation to the level of complete marrow cleansing.

However, if you want to move from the acquired to the innate, if you want to step into the Qi Refining realm, you need to be well prepared first.

It is necessary to expand and consolidate the Qi sea, then draw the Qi into the body, refine the Qi into essence, and transform it into one's own strength.

When Shang Lu was preparing to expand and consolidate his Qi Sea, he was surprised to find that the condition of his Qi Sea was a little strange, as if it had been damaged.

Even if this situation does not affect your practice now, it will hinder your progress in practice in the future.

At first, Shang Lu thought this was just an isolated case.

After all, he had been seriously injured before, all his internal organs were damaged, his cultivation was completely lost, and he almost lost his life.

Perhaps the Qi Hai was damaged at that time.

However, when Shang Lu asked the witch how to expand and strengthen the Qi Hai and how to repair the damaged Qi Hai, he was told that the damage to the Qi Hai did not only occur in him.

The Qi Hai of all people in the world today is damaged from birth.

"This is a curse, and also a calamity..."

The witch sighed softly.

If it weren't for these problems, she wouldn't have been stuck in her cultivation and unable to break through, wasting half her life and only being able to come to Luoshui County to be a small witch.
