Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 340 Breakthrough, Zhoutian Realm!

Normally, if a practitioner wants to enter the Zhoutian realm and continue to move forward on the path of practice, he must go through the above process.

Otherwise, you will be trapped in the Qi Refining Stage for the rest of your life, and your cultivation will hardly improve and will slowly decline.

But Shang Lu soon discovered that his situation was not quite the same as "normal".

Shang Lu, who had finished his training, activated the method of inner vision to check the changes in his body.

He first discovered that although the evil miasma had been completely refined, the Yin-Yang Qi Bell had not disappeared and still existed in his internal organs.

This bell is actually integrated with his internal organs and his body.

Shang Lu did a small test and found that the subtle substances and qi collected through eating, breathing, etc., after entering the body, will first enter the five internal organs, and will be transformed, detoxified, and purified by the five internal organs gods.

Afterwards, these subtle substances and energy will enter the Yin-Yang Bell, and be harmonized in this black and white bell, thus achieving a balance between Yin and Yang.

Then it will be sent to the meridians and internal organs, and after a circulation, it will flow into the sea of ​​​​qi and be refined into essence and qi.

Shang Lu attended many classes in the Witch Academy and gained a lot of knowledge, so he knew that a problem that practitioners often have to face is to harmonize yin and yang.

Whether it is the subtle substances contained in food and elixirs, or the various kinds of qi absorbed from heaven and earth, there is a distinction between yin and yang.

Therefore, people who practice spiritual cultivation often have one of the yin or yang being too strong, thus suppressing the other.

This is what is called "yin is strong and yang is weak" and "yang is strong and yin is weak".

If you are practicing a special method that focuses on making the Yin or Yang stronger, then it doesn't matter. You may even have to find ways to make the Yin stronger and the Yang stronger.

However, most people who practice cultivation will try to find ways to harmonize yin and yang, to avoid problems in their practice and going astray due to "yin is strong and yang is weak" or "yang is strong and yin is weak".

Not to mention anything else, Shang Lu saw a lot of Xiangjidan being sold in the Yunshang Market of the Witch Academy alone.

This Xiangji Pill is used to harmonize yin and yang and prevent people from going astray.

The Yin-Yang Qi Bell that remains in the internal organs allows Shang Lu to maintain a state of Yin-Yang harmony even if he does not take the Xiangji Pill.

This not only saves him a lot of trouble, but also saves him a lot of money.

After looking at the five internal organs, Shang Lu turned his gaze to the Qi Hai.

He originally wanted to observe the cyclone, but unexpectedly discovered that many holes in the middle of the Qi Sea were also blocked and repaired.

Previously, when Shang Lu entered the Qi Refining Realm, he repaired some of the leaks in his Qi Sea, but they were all concentrated in the lower area of ​​the Qi Sea.

Originally, Shang Lu thought that only after breaking through to the Zhoutian realm could he repair the leak in the upper layer of his Qi Sea, and thus continue to draw Qi into his body, refine it into essence, and improve his cultivation.

Unexpectedly, before he even broke through to the Zhoutian realm, a new round of repair work began in his Qi Hai.

Was this also achieved with the help of Sibu Xiang?
So are there any other unexpected changes in this body?

Shang Lu expanded his inner vision with curiosity and excitement.

He began to examine the whole body, all the meridians and organs.

This time, I really made a discovery.

Moreover, this discovery made Shang Lu, who had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but scream: "Fuck!"

It’s not that Shang Lu is uneducated, he can travel the world with just one sentence “Wow”.

But in this matter, only "Oh shit" can best express Shang Lu's shock and ecstasy at the moment - he discovered a new cyclone in the middle dantian in his chest.

This cyclone is very weak and rotates very slowly.

It's like a candle flame in the cold wind, which may go out at any time.

Shang Lu confirmed again and again that although this cyclone was weak, it was real.

But as Shang Lu knew, only after breaking through to the Zhoutian realm could one refine a second cyclone.

Therefore, no matter how weak the second cyclone was, it represented that Shang Lu's cultivation had officially entered the Zhoutian realm.

"I broke through to the Zhoutian realm? Just like that?"

In addition to being shocked, Shang Lu's mind was full of questions.

According to the normal process, shouldn't one first use elixirs and magic treasures to repair the interrupted path of cultivation, and then break through to the next level?
How come he skipped this process?
It can't be that he still has the aura of a protagonist?

Shang Lu's surprise made the four-legged creature beside him confused.

"When you have reached a certain level of cultivation, it will be like a natural progression. A breakthrough should come naturally. There is nothing strange about this."

What the Four-Unlike-Beast described was the situation before the catastrophe.

At that time, the path of cultivation for all sentient beings in the world had not yet been destroyed or cut off.

Even if it is a weed, as long as it grows in a place with abundant spiritual energy and has the opportunity, it will have the chance to achieve the great way and become an immortal or a god.

But the situation today is completely different from that thousands of years ago.

The Qi Sea was broken, the Divine Bridge was destroyed, and the path of cultivation for all living beings was cut off.

If you want to break through to the next stage, in addition to having sufficient cultivation, you must also cultivate the "path of cultivation" to enter the next stage.

Shanglu did not correct the Sibuxiang.

He was afraid that if he told it, Sibu Xiang would fall into his memories again, which would lead to a series of problems and dangers.

Shang Lu was just wondering why he was able to break through directly?
His soul was traveling across time and space, so his path of cultivation should have been destroyed, just like that of everyone else in this world.

Could it be that the path of cultivation from the Qi Refining Realm to the Zhoutian Realm was repaired in advance without his awareness?

But what kind of power can repair this path of cultivation?

Is it divine power?

Shang Lu shook his head after thinking seriously.

Although the divine power he intercepted could enhance the power of his moves and sorcery, it was still not enough to repair his path of cultivation.

If it’s not divine power, then what could it be?

Suddenly, Shang Lu thought of the Hualong Pond he had just visited.

Suddenly I understood what was going on.

"I know! It's the Jiaozhu!
At that time, the dragon pearl was swallowed by me along with Qiu Haishan's soul.

After digesting and absorbing it, although my strength has improved to a certain extent, it is still far from enough compared to the effectiveness that the Jiaozhu should have.

Before, I always thought that it was because my cultivation was not high enough and I couldn’t completely absorb the power of the Jiaozhu, which resulted in most of it being wasted and lost, so the effect was poor.

Now it seems that I was wrong. The power of the Jiaozhu was not wasted at all. Most of its power was used to repair my path of cultivation!

Even if the fire of this dragon pearl is not high enough to allow a person in the Zhoutian realm to successfully break through to the Tongtian realm without suffering backlash, it can at least repair the path of cultivation from the Refining Qi realm to the Zhoutian realm!"

Looking at it this way, taking the risk of swallowing Qiu Haishan’s soul was absolutely the right thing to do!
Otherwise, just gathering the elixirs and magic treasures needed to break through to the Zhoutian realm would take Shang Lu several years, or even longer.

"Thanks to Sanniang!"

Shang Lu knew very well that if it hadn't been for Sanniang, he wouldn't have been able to find the secret realm. It was even more impossible for him to learn the insect transformation technique from Sibu Xiang and turn Qiu Haishan into a maggot and swallow him at the most critical moment.

Thinking of this, Shang Lu couldn't help but be shocked: Could it be that all this was planned by Sanniang long ago?

From the moment he cut the dragon snake meat for him to eat, he was aiming for the dragon pearl, hoping that it would help him make a successful breakthrough today?
Shang Lu really wanted to ask Sanniang.

But he didn't know whether Sanniang had followed into the rock paintings.

Secondly, the four-legged beast was still beside him, staring at him with its wide-open tiger eyes.

Shang Lu could only suppress this question temporarily, and wait until he left the rock painting world and came out of the secret realm before looking for Sanniang to answer his questions.

Seeing that Shang Lu stopped looking inward, Sibu Xiang just spoke: "Boy, have you finished the physical examination?"

Shang Lu nodded and bowed to Sibu Xiang. Just as he was about to say a few words of thanks, he suddenly noticed that the surrounding environment had changed abruptly.

By the time he reacted, he had already left the rock painting world and returned to the secret realm.

At the same time, a strange voice came to my ears: "Boy, don't say such nonsense. If you really want to thank me, burn me an extra stick of incense."

Shang Lu was stunned.

Feng Boyuan was also surprised to see him suddenly come out of the stalactite.

Especially after noticing the change in his aura, she circled around him and looked him over.

"Your cultivation has improved? And you've even reached the peak of Qi Refining? No! Why is there still a cyclone in your middle Dantian? You have cultivated two cyclones? You have broken through to the Zhoutian realm?!"

Shang Lu's cultivation had just broken through and was at the stage of showing his brilliance. Feng Boyuan's cultivation was higher than his, so it was not surprising that he could see these situations.

Once Shang Lu has consolidated his cultivation and restrained his energy, Feng Boyuan will have to fight him with real swords and guns if he wants to find out the true extent of his cultivation.

"Yes, I refined two cyclones." Shang Lu nodded in acknowledgement.

He had no intention of hiding his cultivation level, and even if Feng Boyuan didn't ask, he would take the initiative to tell him.

Because many courses in the witch academy are linked to cultivation. If you hide your cultivation, you can't take many courses, and you can't learn many skills and witchcraft.

Not to mention that there are several great wizards in the wizard academy, and it is not easy to hide the truth from their eyes.

Rather than hiding things now and causing a lot of trouble later, it is better to be honest.

Anyway, there is the Four-Beast to help take the blame, so the fact that he swallowed the Dragon Pearl but was not discovered will not be exposed.

"how did you do that?"

Feng Boyuan was shocked: "Have you ever eaten Zhoutian Pills and drank the blood of golden silkworms before?"

Shang Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Feng, don't you know what my situation is? A few months ago, I was just a small constable in Luoshui County. After arriving at the Witch Academy, although I have accumulated a lot of contribution points based on my previous merits, it is still far from enough to exchange for the Zhoutian Pill and the blood of the Golden Silkworm."

"Then how did you break through? This doesn't make sense..."

When Feng Boyuan said this, he suddenly had an idea and turned to look at the stalactite column.

The four-legged creature is still in the rock painting on the stone pillar, squinting its eyes and inhaling incense.

"Could it be that Fourth... Ahem, it was Master who helped you break through?"

Just as Shang Lu was about to say yes, the four-legged beast in the stalactite column, he squinted his eyes, glanced at Feng Boyuan, and snorted, "Yes, I helped him break through. What, do you have any objection?"

"No objection, no objection."

Feng Boyuan quickly shook his head, fearing that he would anger Sibu Xiang, and even put on a flattering smile: "If you have this ability, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Sibuxiang still squinted at him: "Did you ask?"

"This..." Feng Boyuan was speechless for a moment.

They had done a lot of research on the Sibu Xiang before, and asked a lot of questions, but they had never asked whether it could help people practice and help them break through.

After all, who could have imagined that a spirit in a rock painting could have such abilities.

At this time, Shang Lu took out another stick of incense, lit it, and offered it to the four-legged beast. He asked, "Brother Feng, how long have I been in the rock painting?"

"Less than an hour."

Feng Boyuan's answer surprised Shang Lu.

"Ah? Less than an hour?"

Shang Lu originally thought that he had stayed in the rock painting for at least several days, or even longer.

After all, I had been soaking in the spirit pool in the Witch Academy before, but half a month had passed in that soak.

Unexpectedly, in the rock paintings, not even an hour was used.

Was it that the help provided by the four-beast creatures was too effective? Or was it that the passage of time in the rock paintings was slower than in the outside world?

Shang Lu was curious, but did not ask.

It's not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't get a word in - after Feng Boyuan learned that the Four-Beast could help people practice and break through, he kept pestering it with questions.

In the end, the Sibu Xiang even got annoyed with it. It opened its tiger mouth and sucked the two incense sticks of Shang Lu Jing into the rock painting, and then disappeared from the stalactite column along with the rock painting.

The Four-Beast had disappeared, but Feng Boyuan refused to give up. He kept calling out for his master. He only gave up when he saw that the Four-Beast really refused to show up again.

No one knew what Feng Boyuan was thinking in his heart, but on the surface, he did not dare to get angry at all, and even bowed to the people around him in a flattering manner.

"Uncle Master, you must have worked hard to help Junior Brother Shang break through. You should have a good rest. I will come to see you again in a while."

Turning his head, he saw Shang Lu looking at him with a strange expression. Feng Boyuan coughed and said, "The path of cultivation is not easy. You should be able to understand that, right?"

Shang Lu nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand everything."

This is the truth. If it were him, he would be even more flattering.

It's for the sake of spiritual practice, so it's not shameful.

After the four-legged beast disappeared, Shang Lu and Feng Boyuan did not stay here for long.

Feng Boyuan first took Shang Lu back to Hualongchi, said goodbye to Heiyun, and then sent him out of the secret realm.

On the way out, Feng Boyuan called a senior brother named Lin and asked him to teach Shang Lu the magic of making soldiers out of paper.

"Originally, I was thinking that since you didn't have a mount, I would go and borrow a spirit beast for you to travel with.

But since your cultivation has broken through to the Zhoutian realm, I might as well let you learn a new skill so that you can have more means to rely on.

This paper-cutting technique to make soldiers, like scattering beans to make soldiers, is a branch of the Yin-Yang School among military wizards and must be learned and mastered.

After learning this witchcraft, you can not only cut paper to make soldiers, but also cut out horses for transportation.

The stronger your cultivation is, the deeper your mastery of this witchcraft is, and the stronger the soldiers and horses you create will be."

Shang Lu was very happy.

After expressing his gratitude repeatedly, he followed Senior Brother Lin and began to seriously learn the magic of cutting paper into soldiers.
