Chapter 76 Human Pill? (Please collect and read)
Shang Lu endured the scorching heat and searched carefully in the ruins of the fire.

Others didn't know that he was looking for treasure and thought he was checking for hidden fire hazards. They all praised him for being cautious and responsible.

Even the people in the fire squad praised him for his professionalism.

Although he was praised, Shang Lu was not in a good mood.

It was not known whether the corpse driver had no treasures or the fire was too thorough, but he searched the ruins for a long time and found nothing.

Sanniang didn't even come out of the oil-paper umbrella.

By the time Shang Lu walked out of the fire ruins, it was already bright.

At this time, all the demons, ghosts and evil spirits hid themselves and stopped causing trouble.

Shang Lu took a look around and seeing nothing strange happened, he returned to the county government office.

On the way, he discovered that the people of Luoshui County did not hide in their homes after dawn, but went out as usual.

Although the chaos last night frightened the people in the city and made them unable to sleep the whole night, life still has to go on no matter how scared they are.

Especially for ordinary people who have little savings, if they don’t work for a day, their family may go hungry. They can only bite the bullet and muster up the courage to go out and find work.

Fortunately, the chaos in the city seemed to have been brought under control, allowing the people to breathe a sigh of relief despite their anxiety.

However, the atmosphere in the city today is still very solemn.

At every city gate and every intersection, there are police officers with guns and swords who conduct strict inspections of passers-by and even livestock.

Although Shang Lu didn't say anything, he felt in his heart that such an investigation would probably yield little results.

Humans have their own way, and demons and ghosts have their own way.

Demons and ghosts may not necessarily follow these normal paths.

Even if they want to leave, they have plenty of ways to hide from the inspection of ordinary police officers.

In Shang Lu's opinion, the arrangement made by the county magistrate and the chief clerk was more like an attempt to appease the people.

After returning to the county government office, Shang Lu wanted to inquire about the interrogation of the corpse driver, but was told that the process and results of the interrogation were strictly confidential.

"Except for the few veteran torturers who participated in the interrogation, only the county magistrate and the chief clerk knew about this matter."

Captain Niu lowered his voice and told Shang Lu: "There was a demon at work last night. It is said that it involves a lot of people. Knowing more may not be a good thing."

Shang Lu thought to himself, of course I know that this is a huge issue, and I also know that those monsters and ghosts are all heading for the secret realm in Yunhua Mountain.

The county town is much quieter today, probably because the evil spirits have been driven away to Yunhua Mountain.

Since the interrogation was confidential, Shang Lu did not ask any more questions and instead chatted with Captain Niu about the casualties among the capture squad, as well as the subsequent appeasement matters and work arrangements.

After finishing the business, Captain Niu said with concern: "Brother Shang, you have worked hard all night. Go home and have a rest now since you have nothing to do. If there is anything later, I will send someone to call you."

"Brother Niu, don't you want to take a rest?" Shang Lu asked.

Captain Niu laughed and whispered, "To be honest, I took a nap in the station room after escorting the corpse driver back last night."

He also told Shang Lu that now that the chaos in the city had subsided temporarily, not all the detectives needed to be sent out. He planned to divide the detectives into several teams and have them take turns to rest, and he and Shang Lu would do the same.

This arrangement was reasonable, and Shang Lu naturally had no objection.

"I'll go back and rest first. I'll leave it to Brother Niu to take care of this." Shang Lu said with a bow.

He wanted to go back quickly, cook the rat demon and eat it as a sacrifice to his stomach.

He was not afraid that the rat monster meat would go bad and make people sick, but he was afraid that if time was delayed, the essence of the rat monster meat would be lost and its effect would be greatly reduced.

Niu Butou patted his chest and said, "Go back quickly. I'm here. Don't worry."

After Shang Lu left the office, he did not go home directly. Instead, he went to visit the wounded members of the police squad. After comforting them, he left the county government office and returned to his "haunted house".

The house was quiet and peaceful, and it seemed like two different worlds from the chaos and noise outside. As soon as Shang Lu walked into the yard and closed the door, the oil-paper umbrella flew into the main room by itself.

Then, Sanniang, dressed in a wedding dress, appeared in the yard, holding a bowl of bloody meat paste that was emitting a cold air.

Shang Lu was really hungry. He took the bloody meat paste with a smile, but found that today's bowl of bloody meat paste was different from the previous ones.

There were flashes of blue light in the red meat paste, and the cold breath became even stronger.

Shang Lu remembered that Sanniang once said that the bloody meat paste came from a special "snake" in the secret realm.

Has the situation in the secret realm changed, causing the special "snake" to increase its strength, thereby improving the quality of the bloody meat paste?

Is it because of the demons that broke into the secret realm? They were eaten by the special "snake", which increased the strength of the "snake"?

What is this? The clams fight each other, but I, the fisherman, get the advantage?

Out of curiosity, Shang Lu asked Sanniang.

Unfortunately, Sanniang was not clear about the specific situation. She would just cut the meat and leave every time, without staying in the secret realm for long.

Shang Lu picked up the bowl of bloody meat paste that was shining with blue light with regret, and swallowed it down in one gulp.

Sanniang took the bamboo basket containing the rat demon from him and took it into the kitchen.

Shang Lu followed into the kitchen and asked curiously, "Sanniang, do you know how to cook these rat monsters?"

Sanniang nodded, took out pieces of the rat demon's body from the bamboo basket, picked up the knife, and skillfully skinned it.

When the rat demon had hair, it looked gray and black and seemed quite dirty. Unexpectedly, after its skin was peeled off, it turned out to be quite white.

Sanniang washed the remains of the rat demon with clean water. Seeing Shang Lu still wandering around in the kitchen, looking like he wanted to help but didn't know what to do, she pushed him out of the kitchen so that he wouldn't be an eyesore here.

"Okay, I'll wait to eat." Shang Lu said with a smile.

He turned and walked to the center of the yard, performing a set of Five Beasts Health-Preserving Exercises, sending the Qi and blood transformed from the bloody flesh to his entire body.

Then he activated the Internal Classic's Organ Refining Diagram to allow Qi and blood to nourish the five internal organs and meridians.

During the practice, Shang Lu was pleasantly surprised to find that the fog covering another statue in the Wuzang Temple had been slightly dispelled.

This bloody flesh paste that flashes with blue light can not only provide more blood and energy, but also strengthen the five internal organs?

I just don’t know which one it strengthens, the lung or the kidney?
Before this, only the statues of the lungs and kidneys had not moved.

Now there has been progress on one of them, which is truly a pleasant surprise.

Shanglu absorbed and digested all the blood and energy with blood and flesh mud, and then stopped practicing.

Not only did this training not make him tired, but it made him feel refreshed, and even the fatigue from last night's fighting was greatly reduced.

Suddenly, Shang Lu smelled a fragrance coming from the kitchen.

He was just about to go over to see how the rat demon meat was cooked, but before he could move, he saw Sanniang floating out of the kitchen.

In her left hand, she held a cup filled with the aroma of wine. It must be the fruit wine found from the statue of the land god.

In his right hand he held a plate with a few dark red things on it, which looked like meatballs or pills.

"This is……"

When Shang Lu saw these meatballs, his expression suddenly changed.

Although he had never seen this kind of pill before, he had seen a related description on a page of pill recipe.

"Human Pill?!"

Shang Lu exclaimed.
