Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 265 Trial Mission
Shang Lu stopped his horse and found a lush bamboo forest in front of him. The branches and leaves were dense and green like jade, and there was a faint spiritual energy rippling around.

Wang Chao landed and turned back into human form.

He gestured to Shang Lu to dismount, and ordered: "Keep your horse here and don't run around."

After a pause, Wang Chao continued, "It can eat more of the grass here. After all, it grows by absorbing the spiritual energy of the inner mountain. Although it is not considered a spiritual grass, it can also strengthen the body of the horse.

Just don't eat the bamboo, because it's used to make medicine. If it eats it, it will have to pay with horse meat."

Shang Lu got off his horse and said "OK", then he took Heiyun's head and warned him, "Did you hear what Senior Brother Wang said? Don't run around and don't eat bamboo. If you break the rules of the academy, I can't protect you and can only bear the pain and give you an extra piece of meat."

Heiyun shook his head and broke free from Shang Lu's hand. He made a "whispering" sound and spat at Shang Lu, as if cursing:
"I know, I'm not stupid. You heartless guy, you actually want to eat my flesh!"

Shang Lu laughed, he knew that Heiyun was very smart. Even if it got into trouble, they would only be minor ones that were harmless and would never cause any major trouble. So he felt relieved to leave it behind.

Soon, Shang Lu, led by Wang Chao, walked into the bamboo forest.

There should be a formation set up in this bamboo forest.

Wang Chao took Shang Lu and walked inside for a while before they successfully got lost.

"Brother Wang, I think we have been to this place before. Look at this bamboo."

As they walked, Shang Lu suddenly stopped, called Wang Chao, raised his hand and pointed to a bamboo on the side of the road.

Someone used a sharp tool to carve several patterns on this bamboo.

Wang Chao also felt that it looked familiar, and his face darkened: "Indeed, I have seen this bamboo before."

He looked around and felt a headache. He couldn't help but complain in a low voice:
"I'm really annoyed by these people who play with formations. If this bamboo forest wasn't so valuable and I couldn't afford the compensation, I would have wanted to clear it away."

"What should we do now?" Shang Lu asked.

Wang Chao sighed, "No hurry, I'll ask Hua Xuelu to help me find the way. Oh, I have to listen to his nagging again."

Academic Registrar is a position in the Witch Academy. The position is mainly responsible for academic affairs and occasionally responsible for lecturing in specific subjects.

This Hua Xue Lu should be the person who is specifically responsible for the inner mountain assessment.

Wang Chao took a deep breath, pinched the magic formula with his hands, urged the witch energy, and shouted with a thunderous voice:

"There is an outer courtyard disciple, Shang Lu, who has broken through to the Qi Refining Stage. He is here to apply for the inner mountain assessment. Please give Hua Xuelu your guidance."

After a moment, a lazy voice came from the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Follow the road and come in."

Then Shang Lu and his friends saw that the bamboos around them all fell down in one direction.

It was as if he was showing them the way.

"Let's go."

Wang Chao called out, and together with Shang Lu, they followed the guidance of the bamboo and soon reached the depths of the bamboo forest.

Strangely enough, there are actually not many paths in the bamboo forest, only two or three.

But it can trap people and make them run around like headless flies, unable to find direction.

But with the guidance of the bamboo, I felt that the journey was actually very simple.

"Is this the effect of the formation? It's really magical."

Shang Lu sighed inwardly out of curiosity.

When he reached the depths of the bamboo forest, he found a small pavilion.

This pavilion is made of bamboo that is wrapped around and arched.

Inside the pavilion, sat a plump man wearing a loose wizard robe.

The man had his back to Shang Lu and Wang Chao. He grabbed a piece of emerald green bamboo in his left hand and was eating it with a "crunching" sound in his mouth, while his right hand was holding a book.

There was a table inside the bamboo pavilion with an incense burner on it.

I don’t know what kind of incense is burning, but the smell is so fragrant and refreshing.

After Shang Lu and Wang Chao smelled it, they felt relaxed physically and mentally, and even the flow of Qi in their bodies became much smoother. When Wang Chao saw this person, he bowed and saluted: "Disciple Wang Chao, meet Hua Xuelu."

Shang Lu followed his example and bowed to greet him: "Disciple Shang Lu, nice to meet Hua Xue Lu."

The "person" with his back to Shang Lu and Wang Chao turned around and turned out to be a panda.

I've heard for a long time that there are some weird disciples in the Witch Academy.

Unexpectedly, there is a weird teacher.

Shang Lu was very surprised, but did not show it.

Hua Xuelu chewed on bamboo while scolding Wang Chao:
"You have been in the inner mountain for so many years, but you still don't know how to enter the bamboo forest formation. You really should learn some knowledge about formations."

Wang Chao agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Hua Xuelu is right. I will definitely learn next time. I will definitely learn."

Then he quickly raised his hand, pointed at Shang Lu and introduced him: "This is the outer courtyard disciple Shang Lu, please ask Hua Xuelu to test him."

Hua Xuelu could clearly hear the perfunctory tone in Wang Chao's words.

He shook his head, without further persuasion, turned his gaze to Shang Lu and chanted a spell.

A bronze mirror immediately flew up from the table in the bamboo pavilion, hovering several meters high, releasing colorful light and covering Shanglu.

It was also at this moment that Shang Lu realized that his internal organs were reacting.

The smoke from the incense offered in the temple rose up and turned into a thick fog, covering the entire temple.

The divine power originally stored in the sea of ​​​​qi was guided by the lung god, flew into the temple of the five internal organs, and was hidden in the statue of the spleen god, and together they were obscured by thick fog.

At the same time, Shang Lu's image was reflected in the bronze mirror hovering in the air.

Also appearing is the Qi Sea of ​​the Smilax glabra and the essence in the Qi Sea.

This mirror can actually see through the flesh and blood body and directly see the qi inside the body?

The magic weapon is indeed magical!

Shang Lu was just thinking about it when he saw Hua Xuelu in the pavilion spit out the bamboo skin and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, you really have refined the essence. According to the rules of the academy, you have passed the first step of the assessment."

Does this mean it’s passed?
Shang Lu originally thought that Hua Xuelu would let him release his energy for testing, or arrange for an opponent to fight him to verify his strength.

But I didn't expect that I just looked at him in the mirror.

However, judging from the reaction of Wu Zang Miao, this bronze mirror is probably not simple. It may even be able to see through the existence of Wu Zang Miao, otherwise Wu Zang Miao would not have to release the thick fog to cover and hide.

Shang Lu thought about it while bowing and expressing his gratitude.

"It's all your own ability. Why thank me? I didn't help you practice."

Hua Xuelu sneered and asked, "Where is your jade token? Give it to me."

Shang Lu took out the jade token as he was told and was about to go to the bamboo pavilion to hand it to Hua Xuelu.

As a result, Hua Xuelu waved his hand, and the jade token flew out by itself and fell into his hand.

Hua Xuelu put the bamboo down, made a gesture with his furry hands, and quickly recited a spell.

A piece of white jade immediately flew out from the bamboo forest nearby.

Hua Xuelu held the green jade in one hand and the white jade in the other and continued to chant.

Then Shang Lu saw rays of light flying out from the green jade plate, turning into a piece of text, and pouring into the white jade plate.

After a moment, the light dimmed.

Hua Xuelu waved his hand and threw both jade tokens to Shang Lu.

"I have already transferred all your information into the Inner Mountain Jade Plate. You will take the Outer Courtyard Jade Plate out later and give it to the people in the Outer Courtyard."

"Yes." Shang Lu bowed and accepted the order, thinking that the data conversion was completed? The magic was indeed convenient.

Hua Xuelu didn't know what he was thinking. He picked up the bamboo and took another bite before explaining the task of the trial:
"You are unlucky. There is only one trial mission in the Witch Academy these days. You have no choice - go to Feiwu County and assist the Great Witch Zhongli to capture and kill the mountain ghost pretending to be a god!"
