Chapter 165: A Refining Hand, Liver God Enters the Temple

After Yu Que released the fire crow and arranged for it to burn the blood lotus in the pool, he paced back and forth, sensing the increasingly rich spiritual energy in the air, and felt more and more eager to try.

He confirmed it a few times and found that the spiritual energy came from the spiritual liquid, especially the blood lotus. He then quickly took out a bunch of talismans from his sleeves.

With a snap, the talisman took root and surrounded the entire pool, then released mist that filled the field.

A spiritual light rippled in the pool like water waves, and then trapped the wisps of spiritual energy in the center of the pool.

At this time, even if someone passed by nearby, although they would not completely ignore this place, they would not be directly attracted by the rich spiritual energy.

After doing all this, Yu Que breathed a sigh of relief and planned to wait until the blood lotus stopped causing trouble, then pick it off and put it in his bag.

But what surprised him was that after waiting for a quarter of an hour, the blood lotus that was burned by the true fire still showed no signs of wilting.

On the contrary, the souls of the two commanders that were swallowed by the blood lotus, along with their family gods, had all been destroyed.

It either becomes the nutrients of the blood lotus, or becomes the consumables for the burning of the true fire.

Moreover, more spiritual energy burned out from the blood lotus' body, filling the area within a thirty-meter radius, and was about to form a magical mist-like scene.

Such a scene made Yu Que even more shaken and stunned.

He whispered:

"What a magical object! This object is definitely the legendary treasure of heaven and earth."

In particular, he suspected that this blood lotus could very likely devour souls and transform them into spiritual energy.

This was not Yu Que's wild imagination. Instead, when he had some free time, he looked at the corpses scattered in the pool and was surprised to find that the souls and family gods in their bodies had disappeared, just like the two commanders.

So many people died at the scene, but there wasn't even a single ghost.

In this situation, the most likely possibility is that the souls of the deceased and their family gods were all swallowed by the blood lotus.

Thinking of this, Yu Que's face immediately showed a conflicted look.

It would be a great pity if such a rare thing were picked carelessly and its roots were severed.

If he had a storage device on his waist, he might be able to dig up the entire pool and then transplant the blood lotus to the outside world.

In this way, after he leaves this secret cave, he will also be able to enjoy spiritual energy.

Just as Yu Que was struggling, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the front left side of the pool.

Dong dong, there was a sound like beating a drum, coming faintly from there. Most likely, someone had a conflict in that direction and was fighting each other.

Although he didn't know how far away the fighting location was from where he was struggling, a sense of urgency rose in Yu Que's heart, making him even more anxious.

His eyes changed several times, and Yu Que gritted his teeth, thinking: "Never mind, good things must be put into pockets and put away safely. Only what is in your mouth is yours."

He immediately held the White Back Sword and stepped forward to cut off the blood lotus with brute force. He also took away all the spiritual liquid at its roots and stuffed them into his bag.

But when he stretched out the White Back Sword, the Blood Lotus that was struggling in the true fire suddenly trembled even more and began to shake its head.

The lotus bud slapped on the surface of the liquid, as if it was kowtowing.

This spiritual scene made Yu Que's eyelids twitch and he felt even more amazed.

Soon, he found that a little man suddenly appeared in the center of the lotus. He was fat and white, naked, with arms and legs like lotus roots, and looked extremely silly.

The little man lay trembling in the center of the lotus, kowtowing to Yu Que continuously.

Yu Que stared at this scene with eyes wide open:
"A spirit? A magical medicine creature?!"

All of a sudden, his breathing became heavier and he could no longer control himself.

It is rumored that in the world, if a spiritual creature encounters an opportunity, it is possible for it to develop spirituality and soul from a dead object or plant, just like a monster.

For example, the ginseng doll that is often seen in many vernacular novels is shaped like a human, can move around in the ground, can hide itself, and can even learn to speak.

The souls of these elixirs are not ghosts but elves, and they often possess magical talents and spells.

In addition, in addition to their souls, they also have physical bodies, which can be said to be treasures both inside and out. This is why the immortals are reluctant to pick these spiritual creatures for use as medicine when they encounter them.

Generally speaking, the way to properly utilize such spiritual objects is to transplant them into the mansion as Yu Que had just imagined, so as to continuously produce medicinal materials and spiritual energy, or even use them to cultivate a batch of medicinal gardens and spiritual fields.

In the pool, the blood lotus figurine in front of Yu Que probably saw that Yu Que was about to kill it and cut it off, so it had to show up and beg for mercy.

This time, Yu Que looked at this thing with even more passion and confusion.

"Spiritual medicine and living things, this thing is even more magical than ordinary natural treasures...

I really don't want to hurt you."

He murmured to himself, regretting that he had no storage device in his hand.

However, after he turned his thoughts back, Yu Que narrowed his eyes slightly.

He immediately sat cross-legged in front of the blood lotus figurine, making hand gestures and meditating, absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy around him.

When the Blood Lotus figure saw Yu Que put away his sword, he slightly closed his eyes, and the terrifying cold light in his eyes no longer revealed itself. He hid in the Blood Lotus, with a look of relief on his face.

But before it could completely relax, Yu Que suddenly opened his eyes.

Squeak!
A rat-like scream suddenly came from the mouth of the Blood Lotus Man.

Because at this time, the coldness in Yu Que's eyes was even stronger, and his eyes were firm and excited.

He murmured, "Don't blame me. You are so precious. If I hold you in my hands, I might be in danger of death."

Although he didn't know the specific grade of this kind of spiritual medicine, in today's world, even if it was not up to standard, it could still attract the attention of the third-grade immortals.

If Yu Que really took it in his hands, he couldn't guarantee that Lao Ma Hou and Jun Baifeng would not come to him to ask for it after seeing it.

Suddenly, Yu Que also seemed to have a sudden realization:
"No wonder the two leaders of the guards fought to the death when they encountered this thing. Not a single guard from either side survived."

They must have already seen the villain in the blood lotus and knew its value.

As for why those soldiers died so cleanly, it was probably because the two men had the intention of deliberately killing them to silence them.

Since this is the case, Yu Que would not dare to target this thing casually.

Of course, it would be a waste to destroy the spirituality in the blood lotus directly. If he really did this, Yu Que could guarantee that he would regret it every night after he left.

Instead of giving up or destroying it, try putting it in your mouth first and see how much you can digest, and then digest as much benefit.

Therefore, he came up with a compromise. As for the specific method of this method, Yu Que planned to bind it as his fourth family god.

"It just so happens that this creature was created by a lotus. The lotus has both water and wood properties. Among my five internal organs' gods, the wood-type liver god is still missing."

He thought about it and no longer hesitated.

The next moment, an ancient ancestral temple unfolded around Yu Que, pressing across and directly onto the blood-colored lotus.

Yu Que's ancestral temple was originally very powerful. Even the ghost of the three-headed snake crow could be temporarily detained in it, not to mention the blood lotus figurine in the pool who was far inferior to the three-headed snake crow.

Moreover, after being burned by the true fire, the blood lotus lost too much of its spiritual energy and was already in a weak state. The villain inside was also weak.

With a few screams, Yu Que bullied the creature and made it unable to move, so he covered it in the ancestral temple.

At this time, he boldly reached out and grabbed the chubby little man out of the lotus.

When he was caught, there were thin threads like lotus roots on the legs and back of the little man, connecting him to the blood lotus itself.

When these silk threads were violently torn apart by Yu Que, each thread turned into strands of spiritual energy, which was very pure.

"Ahhh!"

An even more shrill scream also appeared in Yu Que's hands.

Different from the fat and white appearance just now, the face of the blood lotus man at this moment is distorted, blue and red, his eyes are ferocious, and his body has become stiff like a lotus root, and his human form is fading.

Yu Que looked at this thing with a sneer on his face.

He used his spiritual sense to continuously observe the body of the little lotus root man. After grasping its movements, his eyes moved, and a sharp sword light surged into the body of the little lotus root man, causing its body to suddenly stiffen.

Click click click.

Then, Yu Que grabbed the thing, tilted his head back, opened his teeth, grabbed the thing, and swallowed it in an instant.

He planned to refine this thing in this secret cave, make it a family god, and place it in the liver!
Heavy incense and layers of spiritual energy suddenly surrounded Yu Que's body, intertwining and whistling.

Although he had made the decision and started to act, Yu Que was still very nervous.

After all, Blood Lotus had just swallowed the souls of two seventh-rank commanders in one breath.

Even though the two commanders had consumed most of their magic power beforehand and were burned by the crow fire, and even the blood lotus itself had been burned by the crow fire for a long time, this did not mean that the blood lotus' soul had been completely refined successfully.

But if I have to strictly follow the refining steps, I don’t have enough time to prepare it carefully.

You must know that he is currently in a secret place, and someone may come nearby at any time.

In order to be quick and to ensure that even if someone came over, the other party would not disturb him and cause him to go crazy, he could only act so directly.

Yu Que secretly said in his heart:
"Fortunately, the souls created by this kind of elixir are different from ordinary ghosts and gods. Even if they are vicious, they are just ordinary and have no evil spirits.

Otherwise, I really wouldn’t dare to swallow it directly.”

Sure enough, not long after the lotus root man went into his stomach, his expression changed slightly.

I saw a spiritual energy emanating from the little man's body and spreading within his body.

Yu Que's joy didn't last long, and his brows frowned again.

When this creature saw that it had been swallowed, it had no other options. It seemed as if it was planning to self-destruct, releasing all the spiritual energy in its body in order to "starve" Yu Que to death.

It's a pity that its approach is like throwing meat buns at a dog.

Yu Que noticed that too much spiritual energy was spreading in his body. With a slight thought, his ancestral temple exuded power, drawing all the spiritual energy in his body into the temple and settling it.

The more lotus root villains are released, the more vigorously Yu Que will collect them.

By the way, he also ordered the ancestral temple to collect all the spiritual energy that permeated the extracorporeal pool into the temple without leaving a single trace.

Soon, the Yuque Ancestral Temple became sparkling and lively.

The spirit pools on his left and right, which had been covered by talismans, became even more inconspicuous, and no longer had any spiritual fluctuations.

The blood lotus in the pond first lost its spirituality, and now even the spiritual fluid under its roots has been completely sucked away. The whole plant has become wilted and dried up, as if it will soon be broken into debris.

Yu Que noticed something was wrong, and immediately reached out and snatched the thing off. He picked it up from the rocks on the ground, then wrapped it with the talisman to prevent it from wilting and losing its medicinal properties.

However, in this way, the vitality of the blood lotus would be cut off.

Suddenly, a desperate scream sounded in Yu Que's body, which was made by the little lotus root man.

Sensing the death of its main body, the soul of the lotus root man trembled and wailed.

It struggled, and because it had completely lost hope, it planned to self-destruct.

But Yu Que had already anticipated this.

After he collected the blood lotus's body, he took advantage of the moment when the villain's mind was shaken, and his spiritual sense became even more violent, penetrating straight into it, completely occupying his soul and body, and breaking up his consciousness.

Then Yu Que used his own liver as a seedbed, reconnected the roots of the lotus man, and planted it on his own liver.

Inside his body, wisps of liver vitality surged up and penetrated into the body of the little lotus root man, constantly flushing it and maintaining its vitality.

At this point, Yu Que's conversion of this thing has been half successful.

What happened next was that he relied on his hard work to use the Qi of the liver to continuously infect the spirit of the blood lotus, and also used the Qi of the blood lotus to continuously temper his liver, allowing the two to assimilate with each other.

When the blood lotus and the liver become one and can merge with each other, and can survive on their own without relying on the liver's vitality, this thing has been completely transformed.

However, Yu Que did not intend to do such a slow and laborious task.

He inhaled through his nose and exhaled through his mouth, and wisps of spiritual energy suddenly jumped out, constantly entering and exiting and entwining in front of his face, making him look like an immortal.

Saliva began to form in his throat, and he immediately swallowed it down mixed with spiritual energy.

Ding dong ding dong, the spiritual essence goes straight into the abdomen, refreshing the heart and liver, and immediately nourishes the liver and the semi-finished liver god.

Aura is the life force of all things.

The purity of this thing cannot be matched by any incense of higher grade.

Right now, Yu Que was consuming this thing lavishly, exchanging spiritual energy for time, intending to accomplish his goal in one step and bind the Blood Lotus family god into the ancestral temple.
