Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 306: Inner Alchemy: Secrets of the Alchemy Classics

A moment later, Senior Brother He took Shang Lu and flew out of the mountain fog.

Before Shang Lu could see clearly where he was, Senior Brother He did a rolling flip and threw Shang Lu off his back.

Then, Senior Brother He flapped his wings and flew at full speed towards the highest peak in the inner mountains.

Shanglu fell to the ground and touched his butt.

Fortunately, he didn't fall very high and he had thick skin, so he was not injured.

Shang Lu stood up and looked around.

He discovered that the spiritual birds that flew out of the mountain fog were the same as the crane that his senior brother rode. After leaving the mountain fog, they abandoned the witch academy students they were carrying.

Then he hurried to the highest peak inside the inner mountains.

Some teachers from the Witch Academy who came out of the mountain fog also flew to the mountain.

Shang Lu remembered that when Wang Chao took him to familiarize himself with the inner mountains, he had introduced the highest mountain to him.

That place is where the Siye, Sicheng, Xuejian and others work and manage their affairs.

The academic affairs building in the Witch Academy... No, the academic affairs hill.

Wang Chao also reminded him not to hang around there if he had nothing to do.

If you are caught by the school supervisor, you will not be able to get away with it. He may even conduct a random check on your academic performance. If you can't answer the questions, being scolded or punished is considered light.

Shang Lu also understood that Senior Brother He left him here not to escape alone.

Instead, he had to rush to the Academic Affairs Hill to report the strange changes in the treasure land.

But Shang Lu still cursed, then reached into his arms, touched the oil-paper umbrella, and asked in a low voice: "Sanniang, are you okay?"

A white and tender little hand stretched out from the umbrella and gently patted the back of Shanglu's hand.

At the same time, Shang Lu heard Sanniang's answer: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine."

As he spoke, Shang Lu grabbed Sanniang's small hand and started rubbing it.

Sanniang quickly broke free from his claws and put her hands into the umbrella.

"You're still shy? You're already an old couple, why should you be shy?" Shang Lu joked.

At the same time, I was still complaining in my heart: You see, when I took off all my clothes and took a bath, I was not shy at all. Now, you are shy when I touch your hand? Besides, if you don't allow me to, how can I touch your hand?
Stop pretending. Wait until I have enough experience, and then you will see how I can crush the crabapple tree with rain falling on it. Humph!
However, Sanniang came out with him, which made Shang Lu feel relieved.

Only then did he become thoughtful and check his belongings.

Except for armor and a few pieces of silver, all other magical weapons and treasures were brought out.

The small change was okay, just a few taels. Shang Lu was rich now, so he didn't feel bad about it.

But I didn’t bring the armor with me, so I’m afraid I’ll have to write a report when I get back to the bandit office.

Although he himself was a thief's official, he still had to follow the proper procedures.

After packing up his things, Shang Lu discovered something.

The students of the Witch Academy who were abandoned by the spiritual birds were using jade tablets to report to their teachers what happened in the treasure land.

Shang Lu thought about it, then took out the jade token of the Witch Academy and sent a message to Lu Dao and the Great Witch Zhongli, informing them of what had just happened.

Shang Lu knew very well that it was Lu Dao and the great wizard Zhongli who helped him get the chance to enter the treasure land and soak in the spirit pool.

Otherwise, as a freshman in the witch academy, even if he made meritorious contributions, he might not be able to enter the treasure land and bathe in the spirit pool.

Now that something unusual has occurred in the treasure land, it is reasonable and proper to report this to the two commanders.

Even though he didn't report it, the two bosses would soon find out about it.

But he has to get his attitude right.

After sending the message, Shang Lu put the Wuyuan jade token back into his pocket and prepared to go to the bamboo forest to find Hua Xuelu.

After he passed the Neishan test, he was qualified to listen to the lectures given by the doctors of various scriptures in Neishan.

But before going to class, he had to find Hua Xuelu first and confirm his status as an official disciple of Uchiyama before he could get the course schedule and the qualification to attend the class.

However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard two message alert sounds in his arms.

He took out the jade token from the Witch Academy and saw that it was indeed the reply from Great Witch Zhongli and Lu Dao.

Aren't these two busy chasing mountain ghosts? How come they still have time to reply to his letter, and reply so quickly?
Out of curiosity, Shang Lu checked the reply letters sent by the two.

The message sent by Zhongli the Great Witch contained only one short sentence: "Got it."

Lu Dao's reply was full of surprise: "Dragon Head Treasure Land has become corrupt again? The timing is wrong, how come it is so much earlier?"

Corruption? Again?

When Shang Lu saw the message, he remembered the various things Wei Xuan had told him when he first entered the Dragon Head Treasure Land.

I immediately understood that the withering and corruption of the Blood Spirit Flower should be part of the corruption of the Dragon Head Treasure Land.

This kind of corruption has happened more than once.

Even the Witch Academy has set rules for statistics?
Shang Lu asked curiously, and it was true.

Lu Dao told him: “Every once in a while, several treasured places in the Witch Academy will become corrupt.

During the corruption period, the spiritual energy in the treasure land will turn into poisonous miasma. If you cannot leave in time, you will most likely be poisoned to death in the treasure land and become a member of the fog ghost.

However, the Witch Academy has specially arranged wizards who are good at divination to calculate the time it will take for the treasure land to decay.

If I remember correctly, the Dragon Head Treasure Land will not rot for another three months.

Could it be that the depletion of the secret realm has worsened, resulting in a shorter interval between the decay of the treasure land? If so, it is not good news!"

Before Shang Lu finished reading this message, Lu Dao sent another message.

But it was a warning to Shang Lu.

"The treasure land has become corrupted, and the Witch Academy will arrange for someone to deal with it. Once the poisonous miasma is purified, the treasure land will be restored to its original state. During this period, you should not go to the treasure land again, and it is better to stay away from it."

Given the current strange situation in the Dragon Head Treasure Land, he would not agree to let Shang Lu go back.

However, Shang Lu recalled a detail he noticed in the Dragon Head Treasure Land: "Uncle Lu, when the Dragon Head Treasure Land was decaying, I smelled a foul odor of elixir poison. Do you think someone might have been refining elixirs in the Dragon Head Treasure Land, causing the decay to occur early?"

Lu Dao sent a message: "You may have heard it wrongly. It is impossible for anyone to make pills in the treasure land. The witch academy has a rule that no one is allowed to make pills in the treasure land. The fear is that it will cause adverse effects on the spiritual energy in the treasure land."

Smelt it wrong?
Shang Lu doesn't think so.

He has confidence in his sense of smell.

He smelled it very clearly at that time.

Even inhaled some erysipelas.

The toxins are still hidden in the liver and kidneys, waiting to be excreted from the body.

Shang Lu thought about it and sent a message: "Will someone secretly violate the rules?"

Lu Dao still thought it was impossible: "It's impossible. Once they find someone carrying alchemy equipment and materials, the fog ghost will stop them and send them to the school supervisor. It is possible to practice inner alchemy, but inner alchemy belongs to the practice method. It will not produce alchemy poison and pollute the treasure land."

After hearing what Lu Dao said, Shang Lu thought that was not necessarily the case.

What if some high-ranking officials in the Witch Academy secretly absorb spiritual energy and make pills in this treasure land?

If the fog ghost can investigate ordinary teachers and students, can he also investigate the higher-ups of the Witch Academy?
Of course, Shang Lu wouldn't be stupid enough to speak out such a guess without any evidence.

Anyway, the chief priest was practicing in seclusion in the Dragon Head Treasure Land at that time, so he also took action.

He believed that the truth behind the premature corruption would be revealed soon, so he should not get involved.

Shang Lu said nothing more.

However, Lu Dao sent another message.

"Don't worry about the Dragon Head Treasure Land. It's just that it's decaying early, so you can't continue to use the spirit pool to purify the evil miasma, which is a problem."

Lu Dao didn't know that a yin-yang fish had actually been created inside Shang Lu's body, greatly increasing the speed at which the evil miasma could be purified.

He just thought that Shang Lu still had a lot of evil miasma trapped in his body and could not be purified.

In Lu Dao's opinion, Shang Lu swallowed the evil miasma in order to save their lives. Therefore, he couldn't just leave Shang Lu alone.

So very quickly, Lu Dao sent another message.

However, new arrangements were made for Shang Lu.

"Go to Leiding Valley and look for the Danjing Doctor Sun Daomiao. I will send a message to him and ask him to teach you the inner alchemy technique.

Dr. Sun's inner alchemy is a secret method that is only taught to his disciples. But I have a favor to him, so if I ask for his help, he should teach you.

His inner alchemy technique was very magical, using his body as a furnace to refine Qi and make elixir. Similarly, he could also refine and expel toxins from the body.

With your level of cultivation, you can only learn the basics, and you may not be able to refine and expel all the evil miasma in your body.

But it can suppress the activity and toxicity of the evil miasma, and at least allow you to wait safely until the Dragon Head Treasure Land is restored.

Don’t worry about encountering an outbreak of evil miasma during this period.”

Shang Lu's eyes lit up when he received the message.

Even Uncle Lu Dao said that this inner alchemy technique is magical, so it must be not simple.

Even if you can only learn the basics, it's good.

There are many methods that have no way to get started.

Only after you get the basics can you continue to learn in depth.

Moreover, this inner alchemy technique uses the physical body as a furnace to refine Qi and transform it into elixir.

It sounds like it has a lot in common with its effects on the internal organs.

After learning this technique, maybe it can enhance the effects of the five internal organs.

Shang Lu made up his mind instantly.

study!
Must learn!

"Thank you, Uncle Lu."

Shang Lu held the jade tablet in his hand and expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

That’s because Lu Dao is not here, otherwise I would have kowtowed to him.

Lu Dao sent a message: "No need to thank me. You swallowed the evil miasma into your body in order to save us, so of course I have to find a way to help you purify the evil miasma."

When Shang Lu heard this, he felt somewhat guilty.

The reason why he swallowed the evil miasma crazily was because he discovered that the evil miasma could be refined and utilized.

If Uncle Lu knew that not only was he fine after swallowing the evil miasma, but he also gained many benefits... I wonder what he would think?
Shang Lu thought about it and decided not to let Uncle Lu know.

So that the old man won’t be able to bear the stimulation.

Shang Lu asked about the approximate location of Lei Ding Valley. He was not in a hurry to find Hua Xuelu, but went to look for Dr. Sun Daomiao first.

At the same time, he asked about the mountain ghost.

Lu Dao told him: "The great wizard Zhongli has mastered the whereabouts of the mountain ghost through the method of interrogating the ghost's soul. We have laid a net. It won't be long before we can kill the mountain ghost and bring back its body!"

Mountain ghosts pretend to be gods to deceive people into offering incense. Even if their corpses do not produce any residual spirits, they are still excellent materials for refining weapons and research.

It must be brought back to the witch house.

Shang Lu was also very happy after hearing what Lu Dao said.

The case of the mountain ghost is finally coming to an end.

There is no need to worry anymore that this monster will use desire to tempt people to commit crimes and lead them into depravity.

It was obvious that Lu Dao had something else to do. After briefly explaining the situation of the mountain ghost, he did not respond.

Shang Lu also put the Wuyuan jade token back into his pocket, and followed the direction given by Lu Dao to look for Sun Daomiao, the doctor of alchemy.

After some searching, he finally arrived at Leiding Valley.

Looking at the shape of this valley, it really does look like a tripod.

The valley was concave, and there was a mountain top floating in the air, just like the "目" in the Chinese character "鼎".

From afar, there are several houses on the suspended hilltop.

In the valley, apart from various exotic flowers and plants that cannot be named, there are only some birds and animals, but no human beings.

There is no doubt that Sun Daomiao must live in the suspended mountain.

Shang Lu stood in the valley, looking up at the hanging mountain, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He had no flying magical weapon, no magical bird to ride, and no magic spell to fly.

He could see the top of the mountain, but he couldn't climb up.

With no other options, Shang Lu could only open his throat and shout towards the hanging mountain:
"Excuse me, is Master Sun Daomiao here?"

The sound was like thunder in the valley.

At this point, Shang Lu finally understood why this place was called Leiding Valley.

I have to say, the name is quite apt.

As soon as Shang Lu shouted, he heard a question coming from the top of the hanging mountain.

"Who is making noise in the valley?"

Immediately afterwards, someone stepped on Wuyun and fell from the top of the mountain.

Shang Lu bowed and announced his identity and purpose.

"Disciple Shang Lu greets Uncle Sun. I am here under the instruction of Uncle Lu Dao Lu to ask Uncle Sun for advice on the inner alchemy method."

"It turned out to be Junior Brother Shang."

The visitor waved his hand.

"I am Li Dingzhen, a disciple of Dr. Sun. You came at an unfortunate time. My master went out to discuss Taoism with others a few days ago. According to the time, he will not be back for another three to five days.

But my master just sent a message saying that you will come, and asked me to give you this book "The Secret of the Alchemy Classic". You should study it on your own in the next few days. When my master comes back, I will explain your doubts to you in detail. "

After saying that, Li Dingzhen took out a book as thick as a finger and handed it to Shang Lu.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Li."

Shang Lu took the "Secret Meaning of the Alchemy Classics" and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he used his eloquence to chat with Li Dingzhen.

"I saw that Senior Brother Li had such an extraordinary aura that I thought he was a doctor in our Witch Academy."

Shang Lu only used a few words to make Li Dingzhen have a great favor towards him.

Afterwards, Shang Lu proposed exchanging messages.

Li Dingzhen agreed immediately and offered, "Junior Brother Shang, there are many professional terms in the Secret Meaning of the Alchemy Classic. If you don't understand anything while reading it, you can send me a message."

"Oh, this is great. Senior Brother Li, you are just a timely help."

Shang Lu thanked him repeatedly and used his eloquence to flatter him a few times, providing Li Dingzhen with full emotional value.

It's easy and convenient to say nice things, and it can also improve Li Dingzhen's favorability so that when he asks for advice, he will answer it seriously. Why not do it?

Shang Lu's eloquence has indeed improved.

So much so that when he left, Li Dingzhen felt a little reluctant to let him go.

Li Dingzhen had never met anyone who spoke so nicely before.

After leaving Leiding Valley, Shang Lu continued with his previous plan and went to the bamboo forest to look for Hua Xuelu.

When he reached the outside of the bamboo forest, he was not in a hurry to go in.

Although he had been here once before, there was a formation in this bamboo forest. He had no knowledge of formations and did not dare to barge in.

"Disciple Shanglu has completed the inner mountain assessment and has come to report."

Shang Lu stood outside the bamboo forest, bowed and shouted.
