Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 307 Humanity and Sophistication
"Follow the bamboo's guidance and come in."

Hua Xuelu's voice floated out from the bamboo forest, with a hint of laziness.

As far as the naked eye could see, the bamboos were all leaning to one side.

It was like a pair of green hands showing the way to Shanglu.

Shang Lu had seen this scene before, so he didn't find it strange. He just bowed towards the bamboo forest and said, "Student thanks Hua Xuelu."

After tidying up his clothes, he stepped into the bamboo forest and followed the instructions all the way to the depths of the forest.

It is also the center of the formation.

Hua Xuelu was here, still half-lying with one of his furry bear legs raised up. He was holding a book in his left hand, looking at it with his head shaking. In his right hand, he was holding a bamboo stick and stuffing it into his mouth continuously.

The "crunch" and "crunch" chewing sounds were actually quite pleasant to the ears.

"I'm Shang Lu, a student, nice to meet Hua Xue Lu." Shang Lu bowed and greeted.

Hua Xuelu put down the book in his hand, glanced at Shang Lu with his two small eyes in dark circles, and nodded:

"I have heard about your situation from Zhongli, Lu Dao and others. Based on your performance in Xipinggou and Feiwu County, you can indeed pass the assessment... Did you bring your jade token?"

"Brought it."

Shang Lu reached into his arms and took out the jade token. Just as he was about to hand it to Hua Xuelu, he saw Hua Xuelu raise his paw and wave.

Then Shang Lu felt a force emerging from the jade token in his hand, and it was about to fly out of his hand.

He immediately let go of her hand.

The jade token flew out of his hand and fell into Hua Xuelu's bear paw.

Hua Xuelu used his sharp claws to quickly draw on the jade plate, muttering something at the same time.

After a moment, it opened its bear mouth and spewed a ball of witchcraft air towards the jade token.

On the witch card, the five-colored light changed, and after the last flash, it was retracted into the jade card.

"Your identity verification is complete. This jade token will update the Neishan courses every month. You can attend the classes of each school. Once you have determined the direction you want to go, you can specialize in one or two courses."

Hua Xuelu raised his claws and the jade token immediately flew back into Shang Lu's hand.

Shang Lu took the jade token and took a look at it. From the appearance, it was no different from before, except for an additional small witch pattern.

“Thank you, Hua Xuelu.” Shang Lu put away the jade token and bowed again.

Hua Xuelu waved his hand, then said sternly, "Boy, remember one thing: you can't chew too much. Don't think that there are no restrictions in the Witch Academy and want to learn everything. There were people in the past who relied on their intelligence and understanding to learn this and that. What was the result? They only learned the basics of everything. After wasting several years, they achieved nothing, and even their cultivation stopped. They could only leave the Witch Academy in disgrace... I heard that they went to a certain county to be a witch, and there is no possibility for them to explore the great way and become immortal."

Then, it spat out a mouthful of bamboo residue and snorted, "You should know that in the Witch Academy, what is most lacking is genius. Those who can enter the inner mountain to practice are all proud of the place and have natural talent. But they are not honest and find one or two schools to concentrate on. For the rest of the knowledge, just have a basic understanding. Human energy is limited, but the Tao is infinite. Unless you are the reincarnation of a great virtue, or have the ability to understand at a glance, learn at once, and become proficient at once. Otherwise, it is better to use your limited energy in the right place."

Hua Xuelu has said these words to everyone who becomes a formal inner sect disciple.

Although it sounded a bit nagging and preachy, Shang Lu knew that these words were for his own good.

So he wasn't impatient at all.

After listening to Hua Xuelu's nagging seriously, he bowed and said seriously: "Thank you Hua Xuelu for your teachings. I will definitely keep it in mind."

Regardless of whether he really listened to it or not, at least this attitude made Hua Xuelu very satisfied.

It had said these words to other students before, and the students would nod on the surface, but their eyes showed disapproval.

Only when you suffer a loss will you realize the consequences and regret it.

Because Shang Lu's attitude was very good, Hua Xuelu added one more sentence: "It seems that there is still a class today. You can take a look and see if you are interested in attending."

After a pause, he continued, "When you leave, you can take a bamboo with you. This is the reward from the Witch Academy for passing the Inner Mountain Assessment."

Shang Lu responded with a "OK" and turned to look at the bamboos beside him, but he didn't know which one was the best, so he turned around and asked, "Excuse me, Hua Xuelu, which of these bamboos is the best?"

Hua Xuelu said, "If you want to eat it, choose the tender ones. The tenderer, the better. If you want to find someone to help you make utensils, or exchange it for other things, feel free to do so."

Shang Lu did as he was told and selected the tenderest bamboo. After breaking it off, he did not take it away. Instead, he held it in both hands and presented it to Hua Xuelu.

"What is this for?" Hua Xuelu was stunned.

Shang Lu smiled and said, "The school registrar helped me a lot in passing the inner mountain test. This bamboo is a gift from the student to the school registrar."

"No, no. I'm just doing my routine work. I haven't helped you in any way. I can't take this bamboo." Hua Xuelu waved his bear paws repeatedly, but the saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth betrayed his true thoughts.

Seeing this, Shang Lu was well aware of what was going on.
He immediately stuffed the tender bamboo into Hua Xuelu's bear paw.

"Kid, how can I take your things? Look, it's really... Oh, oh, you insist on giving it to me, so I can only accept it." Hua Xuelu pretended to refuse and happily accepted the bamboo.

Even though it stays in the bamboo forest, the chief priest has made rules for it, allowing it to only break off one piece of magical bamboo to eat every day.

After all, the spiritual bamboo in the bamboo forest is the material for making tools. If it is eaten up by the Beggar Xuelu, the teachers and students who are waiting to use the spiritual bamboo to make tools will have to tear it down.

Now, Shanglu gave it his spiritual bamboo, and it was the most tender and delicious kind. It couldn't tell how happy it was in its heart.

While feeling happy, he found Shang Lu more and more pleasing to the eye, but at the same time he felt a little sorry for Shang Lu. So Hua Xuelu took the initiative to propose to exchange messages with Shang Lu, so that Shang Lu could directly send him messages if he had any problems in the future.

Then he continued, "For your contributions in Xipinggou and Feiwu County, in addition to contribution points, you can also get rewards such as spiritual liquid and spiritual medicine... If you don't want anything special, you might as well break four spiritual bamboo shoots from this bamboo forest and leave."

This sentence is almost explicit.

Shang Lu did not hesitate. He immediately went into the bamboo forest and, following Hua Xuelu's instructions, broke off four bamboo shoots with the most spiritual energy. He then gave one of them to Hua Xuelu.

Hua Xuelu was so excited that he immediately took Shang Lu as his close friend, and he almost cut off a chicken's head and burned yellow paper to become sworn brothers with him.

After putting the three magical bamboo shoots in his pocket, Shang Lu was about to say goodbye.

Hua Xuelu suddenly remembered something and asked him, "You came from Longshou Treasure Land, right? What happened there?"

"The Dragon Head Treasure Land has decayed prematurely..." Shang Lu told Hua Xuelu what he knew, but he concealed the discovery of the poison.

After listening, Hua Xuelu frowned.

This makes the dark circles under its eyes look a little smaller.

"The corruption of the Dragon Head Treasure Land actually happened so many days earlier? I wonder if something happened?"

It suddenly stood up, completely changing its previous lazy appearance.

Bear muttered excitedly, "This is going to be fun. No, I have to go see who caused such a big mess."

It remembered that Shang Lu was still there, so it coughed and said, "I'm going to the Dragon Head Treasure Land to help. You should leave the bamboo forest quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get out after I leave."

Shang Lu thought to himself, I heard everything you muttered just now.

I didn’t expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes...well, a guy without eyebrows and big eyes, are the kind of person who likes to watch the fun and not mind making trouble?

Hua Xuelu understood his expression and felt somewhat embarrassed. He glanced around and said in a low voice, "Aren't you curious? I'll send you a message when I find out clearly."

"Xue Lu, look at what you said. Am I the kind of person who likes to listen to gossip?" Shang Lu's question made Hua Xue Lu feel a little embarrassed, but he changed the subject and said, "Remember to tell me!"

Hua Xuelu rolled his eyes at him unhappily and urged, "I know, I know. Get out of here right now."

When Shang Lu came out of the bamboo forest, Hua Xuelu pinched his fingers and chanted a spell to fully activate the formation in the bamboo forest.

Then it suddenly stopped, and the whole body instantly drilled into the ground and disappeared from the bamboo forest.

After a few breaths, one of its chubby bear paws emerged from the ground again.

It grabbed tightly the tender bamboo and bamboo shoots that Shanglu gave it and took them away together.

How can you watch the fun without eating something?

Shang Lu, who came out of the bamboo forest, keenly sensed that the atmosphere in the bamboo forest changed immediately after he came out.

It looked normal, no one was hurt.

In reality, it becomes full of dangers in an instant, making people afraid to approach.

"It seems that Hua Xuelu has left."

Shang Lu muttered.

Then he took out the magical bamboo shoots. The fragrance and spiritual energy emanating from them made him salivate.

But Shang Lu still resisted the temptation and didn't rush to eat. Instead, he asked in a low voice: "Sanniang, in Senior Chu Yun's spiritual food secret book, is there a recipe for spiritual bamboo shoots?"

"Yes." Sanniang's voice came out from the oil-paper umbrella, concise and to the point.

It’s good to have it!
Shang Lu was overjoyed and was no longer in a hurry to eat the magical bamboo shoots. He planned to ask Sanniang to cook the magical bamboo shoots into a dish according to the instructions in the magical food secret book after returning.

Not only will it taste better, it will also be more effective.

Maybe you can get some other benefits.

After putting away the spiritual bamboo shoots, Shang Lu remembered what Hua Xue Lu had said before, and checked the courses for today in the inner mountains on the jade tablet.

I took a quick glance and found that I still had three classes in Neishan today.

However, two of the halls have certain requirements for cultivation.

You must at least have achieved great success in Qi training before you can listen.

With Shang Lu's level of cultivation, he can only attend one divination class today.

After some consideration, Shang Lu thought it would be a good idea to go and listen.

Although it is better to make your own decision than to seek divination from gods, it is good to know more.

What if I have an extraordinary talent in this subject that I don’t even know about?
"The class will be held at Turtle Back Rock and at 2:45 pm..."

Shang Lu glanced at the location and time of the divination class, then immediately quickened his pace and rushed over.
