Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 253 Erysipelas
Shang Lu gained a lot from his first class at the Witch Academy.

Although Shang Lu had learned the methods of repairing the qi sea, as well as the methods of guiding and refining qi that the teaching doctor taught, he had also learned them from the old witch in Luoshui County.

But the old witch doctor in Luoshui County was not a professional teacher after all. She just read from the textbook and her explanation was not as clear and detailed as the doctor's.

After listening to this class, many of Shang Lu’s confusions in spiritual practice were resolved.

So when the doctor finished his lecture and was about to leave, Shang Lu and the other outer court disciples bowed and saw him off.

After seeing the doctor off, today's classes are over.

The next class will be in ten days.

The disciples from the outer courtyard dispersed one after another.

Many of them simply lived in the witch house.

Although I can only live in the outer courtyard, I can still enjoy some of the aftereffects of the spiritual energy.

For those who have just started to repair their Qi sea and draw Qi into the body, it is already sufficient, and it helps in spiritual practice much better than anywhere else.

Even those who did not live in the Witch Academy would go to the dormitory first, or find a quiet place to gather energy and were not in a hurry to leave.

Shang Lu was also assigned a bed in the dormitory in the outer courtyard.

But he didn't live here.

Although the outer courtyard is nice, how can it be as comfortable as going home and sleeping with my wife in my arms?

Besides, his home had Tai Sui meat, Air-Eating Centipede, and the dragon meat that Sanniang had saved for him and had not yet eaten. He could also offer sacrifices of jade to gain spiritual energy.

It's better than staying in the outer courtyard.

On the contrary, staying in the outer courtyard would cause many inconveniences.

So after finishing the class, Shang Lu immediately came to the gate of the Witch Academy.

There is a stable here and Black Cloud is inside.

Seeing Shanglu coming, Heiyun immediately came over and whine. It was obvious that it was used to freedom and was feeling uncomfortable being locked in the stable.

But the witch academy's stable is different from other places.

Heiyun wanted to sneak out, but he didn't have the strength to do so.

Shang Lu patted the horse's head and scolded with a smile: "It's no use yelling. I dare not let you run around in the witch academy. If you cause trouble, it doesn't matter if you are made into horse meat and burned, but I will also have to eat the leftovers."

Heiyun was humming and groaning, and it was unclear whether he was cursing or saying something like "Why are you so cowardly that you don't dare to fight with the Witch Academy?"

Shang Lu led Heiyun to the gate of the Witch Court. Just as he was thinking about how to open the vermilion lacquered door, it opened by itself.

The dragon and tiger stone statues guarding the door turned around, saw that it was him, and spoke in unison:
"Got to go?"

"We'll help you leave."

Shang Lu was stunned and thought to himself, I can go by myself, why do I need your help?

Then we saw the dragon statue open its mouth and spit out a cloud of thick fog, while the tiger statue stirred up the mountain wind and sent the fog to the wine shop and teahouse not far away.

In an instant, the people in the wine shop and teahouse fell into the vast sea of ​​fog.

Seeing this, Shang Lu also understood what the dragon and tiger stone statues meant by helping each other.

There were many people guarding the taverns and teahouses.

If he walked out of the witch house in a swagger, he would definitely be surrounded again, chattering and asking questions.

At that time, he didn't know whether to answer or not.

The mist from the dragon and tiger stone statues really helped him out.

"Thank you, Master Dragon and Master Tiger, for your help."

Shang Lu bowed and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that the incense he had offered previously had burned out, he took out more incense, lit it and offered it up.

This time, he offered a stick of incense to each of the dragon and tiger stone statues, so that the two would not blame him for not having enough.

Taking a sip of the green smoke rising from the incense, the dragon statue nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, you are becoming more sensible."

The tiger statue was also very satisfied and reminded: "Let's go quickly, the fog won't last long."

Shang Lu bowed and replied, "Yes, I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to bother you two masters in a few days."

Then he rode on the black cloud and flew past the mountain fog. When he was far away, the dragon and tiger stone statues took a breath together and sucked away the fog covering the wine shop and tea shop.

Strangely enough, the people in the wine shop and teahouse had no reaction at all to the fact that they were previously shrouded in fog.

It was like he didn't notice anything.

It didn't take long for Shang Lu to ride on the black cloud and return to Chengfeng County.

He did not rush to the yamen, but went straight home.

After entering the house, Heiyun lay down in the corner, while Shang Lu chatted with Sanniang about what he saw and heard in the Witch Academy, and then took out the Rejuvenating Pill and Qi Circulating Powder given by the Witch Academy.

Shang Lu first poured out a Rejuvenating Pill and held it in his hand to observe it.

The pill is dark red, a bit like the color of dried blood, and exudes a strong spicy smell.

Shang Lu put the Rejuvenating Pill into his mouth, and amidst the spicy taste, he could taste a few hints of suppressed blood.

It seems that this rejuvenating pill really does use some kind of blood.

Shanglu did not savor the taste of the Rejuvenating Pill and swallowed it directly.

Just like other food, after the Rejuvenating Pill entered the stomach, it was immediately offered as a sacrifice to the Five Internal Organs Temple and placed in front of the spleen god statue.

However, before the Spleen God began to digest the Regeneration Pill, the Liver God suddenly glared and sucked out a wisp of black and red breath from the Regeneration Pill.

Shang Lu has been using internal observation to check the condition of his internal organs.

After seeing this scene, he said to himself, "As expected."

Just like the other elixirs and spiritual fluids bestowed by the Witch Academy, the Regeneration Pill also had problems.

However, what is contained in the Rejuvenating Pill is not evil spirit, but another kind of poison.

This type of erysipelas is hidden deeper because it is in a "dormant" state. As long as it is not awakened, it will not cause harm to the human body. Instead, it lurks in the meridians and internal organs.

After acquiring the ability of a silver tongue, Shang Lu once asked the witches and other people in Luoshui County indirectly about the problem of elixir poison and evil spirits in the elixirs and spiritual liquids awarded by the Witch Academy and the court.

But I didn't get an answer.

The people who were asked, whether they were the witch priests or several witch officials, seemed to be unaware that there was a problem with the elixir or spiritual liquid.

Or maybe they really didn't notice.

Or maybe they have made a discovery but dare not make it public.

Even have to drink poison to quench thirst.

After all, if you want to practice quickly, you have to rely on elixirs, spiritual fluids and spiritual fats.

Without these things, it would be difficult to make progress in spiritual practice at this time when spiritual energy is scarce.

Unless you change to the evil path.

But this road is more dangerous and more difficult to walk than drinking poison to quench thirst.

Therefore, even if someone made a discovery, they would probably detoxify it secretly and would not dare to make it public, let alone let others know that they had discovered this secret.

"But why would the imperial court and the Witch Academy tamper with the elixirs and spiritual fluids? Could it be that they want to use this method to control wizards?"

Shang Lu frowned slightly, thinking rapidly in his mind.

In theory, the imperial court and the Witch Academy have already controlled the secret realm and all the resources needed for cultivation.

Anyone who wants to improve their cultivation or break through to a new level must take on tasks and perform meritorious deeds in exchange for the necessary resources.

There is no need to poison the cultivation resources.

Could it be that someone in the past wanted to break this monopoly and caused a huge mess, so the imperial court and the Witch Academy secretly did this. In this way, even if there are more dissatisfied wizards, it can be easily resolved?

"That's a really good trick."

Shang Lu snorted lightly.

Just at this time, the Liver God will absorb all the toxins in the Rejuvenating Pill and wait to excrete them from the body.

"Luckily I have an internal organ."

Shang Lu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Liver God was able to deal with this poison.

At the same time, I also warned myself in my heart:

"I have the secret of the Five Internal Organs Temple that can resolve the poison. I must not let it out."
