Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 630 The Star Lord Subdues the Four Directions, and the Eternal Night is Free from Sorrow

Regardless, having Wuzhiqi's divine token in hand is ultimately a good thing.

Although this Huaihuo Water God has a volatile temper and is full of hatred and violence, his strength is truly formidable.

Even if one cannot obtain His Nuo mask, it would be good to steal a little divine power each time a sacrifice is made to communicate with the gods, and to practice the Transplantation Technique.

Wuzhiqi was a water god, and the divine power stolen from him was very beneficial to the kidneys.

The kidneys are the foundation of one's innate constitution.

When your kidneys are healthy, not only will you benefit from their health, but it will also be beneficial for your spiritual practice.

Therefore, despite his inner grumbling, Shang Lu still respectfully bowed to Wuzhiqi's divine tablet and said, "Thank you for bestowing this divine tablet upon me, Your Majesty!"

Pokeweed understands the principle that it's never wrong to be polite.

Wuzhiqi's divine tablet did not react.

However, given Wuzhiqi's violent nature, no reaction is the best outcome.

After completing the ritual, Shang Lu put away Wu Zhiqi's spirit tablet and used his internal vision technique to examine the condition of his internal organs.

As he expected, a cold, damp, sticky, and violent divine power appeared on the offering table in the temple of the five stomachs.

It was Wuzhiqi!

Just now, Wuzhiqi unleashed a divine power as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on him. Although it made him extremely uncomfortable, as if his meridians and bones were about to be crushed, even so, his internal organs still did not forget to retain the divine power.

This water-related divine power was not placed on the offering table for the spleen god statue, but was offered to the kidney god statue.

The black kidney god statue is currently operating on its own, using the "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees" technique to refine Wuzhiqi's water-elemental divine power.

The essence of divine power is directly absorbed by the kidney statue, while the chaotic, violent, and malevolent energy is expelled from the body through the liver statue.

The stomach is becoming increasingly self-sufficient, requiring less and less attention from pokeweed.

"My kidneys are indeed amazing!" Shang Lu secretly boasted. After putting away his inner vision technique, he took out the shrine covered with incantations from the Impermanence Token.

Shang Lu did not take the strange talisman out of the shrine, but simply placed it on the altar for the soul offering. He then lit an incense stick and placed it in the incense burner of the shrine.

However, this time, Shang Lu only offered incense and did not perform any rituals to communicate with the gods.

From the Pang brothers, Shang Lu learned about the strangeness of the divine tablet and the eeriness and danger of the unknown deity behind it.

When facing such a deity, it's best not to rush into communicating with him before figuring out his identity, temperament, and the extent of his madness.

What if what he attracts is a crazed evil god who will devour him whole, soul and all, without a word? Wouldn't that be terrible?

It would be safer to offer incense for a few days first, so that the unknown deity might taste the benefits, before attempting to communicate with the divine.

As the pokeweed lit the incense, the smoke in front of the shrine billowed and surged, transforming into an eye.

Seeing this, Shang Lu thought to himself, "This is bad!"

Unexpectedly, even without him using any divine means, the unknown deity behind the divine tablet still sent down its divine thoughts.

"Whoosh-"

A beam of golden light suddenly shot out from the eyes formed by the green smoke, piercing into Shang Lu's brow like a sharp arrow.

"Buzzing—"

Shang Lu suddenly felt his head filled with countless chaotic messages.

These messages are not only chaotic and incomprehensible, but also filled with confusion, rage, and bloodlust, making people feel like their heads are about to explode. In addition to the pain, their emotions become manic, and they want to vent their anger through violence!

Shang Lu urged the immediate implementation of the "Heart Sutra, which is as good as water".

At the same time, within the Five Internal Organs Temple, not only did the five divine statues simultaneously erupt with divine light, helping him to guard his mind, but the Yin-Yang Qi Bell also rang out, its sound suppressing the chaotic noises so that Shang Lu could calm down.

At that very moment, a melodious voice pierced through the chaos of messages and exploded in Shang Lu's mind: "Sing a Nuo song!"

It's a mountain spirit!
Shang Lu recognized the voice and also heard the Nuo song sung by the mountain spirit. Without hesitation, he immediately learned and sang it.

This Nuo song of the Mountain Spirit Sect is neither in Ba language nor Chu language, but in an obscure ancient language.

This language was never taught in the sorceress's chamber.

Although Shang Lu couldn't understand the lyrics of the Nuo song, the melody was vast and majestic. After singing only a few lines, Shang Lu felt his polluted and affected state of mind calm down considerably. The anger and murderous intent that had inexplicably been stirred up in his heart were also suppressed.

Meanwhile, Shang Lu also discovered that as the Nuo songs continued to be chanted, the unknown deities attracted by the incense seemed to gradually calm down from their violent and chaotic state.

Especially when he sang "The Star Lord guards the four directions, and there is no sorrow in the long night," a faint sigh could be heard.

The soft sigh seemed to emanate from the Bloodstained Divine Tablet, or perhaps it was projected from a star in the night sky.

"Is the Blood-Weeping Divine Tablet dedicated to a Star Lord?" Shang Lu wondered to himself.

He couldn't understand any of the other lyrics to this Nuo song, but he understood this one line.

Clearly, the mountain spirit was calling him out.

With so many star deities, and many made of metal, which star deity could this one be?
As Shang Lu finished chanting the Nuo song, the eyes formed from the blue smoke before the shrine vanished without a trace. The incense stick had almost burned out.

Pokeweed exhaled a breath of stale air, and only after the incense had completely burned out did he put away the shrine and the ancestral tablet.

At the same time, he lit another incense stick, but it was offered to the mountain spirit to thank it for its help and guidance: "The Nuo song is indeed very useful. This time, the deity reminded me with a real battle."

The mountain spirit didn't stand on ceremony and directly consumed the incense offerings.

Shang Lu then activated the Inner Vision Technique once again.

Sure enough, another white, murderous, chaotic, and violent divine power appeared in the stomach.

This divine power was placed in front of the altar of the Lung God statue.

The Lung God statue also began practicing the "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees" technique, refining the divine power of this metal and drawing strength from it.

Although we don't yet have the Nuo masks for the metal and water elements, we have gathered all the divine tablets for the five elements.

The Five Elements correspond to the Five Organs. With these divine tablets, and given the Five Organs Temple's characteristic of "never leaving empty-handed," the Five Organs Temple will definitely experience great growth!
After attaining enlightenment, one progresses to the state of the five internal organs.

If we could use the divine tablet to temper our five internal organs and make them stronger.

Therefore, when you break through to the Five Organs Realm in the future, you will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Cultivation within the Five Organs Realm might also lead to rapid progress!
Shang Lu was quite excited by all the gains he had made tonight.

What excited him even more was that when he put away the Soul Offering Platform and prepared to accelerate his cultivation, he unexpectedly discovered that his cultivation level had unknowingly broken through from the initial stage of Enlightenment to the minor stage of Enlightenment.

"Is it because I withstood the corruption of Wuzhiqi and the Mad Star Lord, which tempered and strengthened my mind, thus resulting in my improvement?" Shang Lu wondered to himself.

The breakthrough in cultivation was an unexpected surprise.

The cultivation of a minor mastery of the Mind-Enlightenment not only strengthens one's mental resistance but also allows one to be more focused and attentive during cultivation. Even with external interference, it is less likely to suffer from qi deviation.

Most importantly, some mental techniques can also become stronger.

This includes eloquent tongues, as well as the icy blue lotus and the treacherous cup.

Before the end of the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), Shang Lu put away the Soul Offering Altar. Then, he first urged the practice of the "Supreme Goodness is Like Water" Heart Sutra to consolidate his newly broken state of mind and cultivation. After that, he began to practice the Dragon Tiger Qi and other techniques.

After completing several sets of exercises, Shang Lu didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, he felt even more energetic.

So he simply stopped sleeping and continued to explore the two newly acquired Nuo masks.

Sure enough, after some exploration, he actually discovered a few special uses for the Dongjun and Shan Gui Nuo masks, and used them to leave behind a few "gifts".

If any members of the Discipline Black Witch or the Black-Clad Guards follow Shang Lu's footsteps to this place, these "gifts" will surely give them a great surprise.

As dawn broke, Shang Lu took out the Gu Gu and chanted an incantation to retrieve all the Sleep Gu.

The Sleepy Gu looks no different from an ordinary small flying insect, and there is no Gu energy fluctuation on its body, making it difficult to detect. However, it can release a colorless and odorless gas that makes living things feel sleepy and fall asleep when they smell it.

After recalling the Sleepy Gu, Shang Lu did not forget to take out a small piece of Tai Sui meat from the Impermanence Token, mix it with the blood-soaked spirit ore, and put it into the Gu jar.

The sleep-inducing Gu inside the Gu jar, smelling the spiritual energy and blood, instantly became alert and excited. They all clung to the Tai Sui meat and spirit ore, inserting their needle-like mouthparts and frantically sucking them in. While Shang Lu was feeding the sleep-inducing Gu, the shaman in the temple opened his eyes.

"I slept so well, it's been a long time since I slept through the night." The shaman sat up in bed, stretched, and then his expression changed drastically. He exclaimed, "This is bad!"

The shaman originally planned to stay awake and secretly watch Shang Lu to see if he would send out evil spirits in the middle of the night to abduct newborn babies in the city. If so, he would try to dissuade him.

Unexpectedly, he slept soundly until dawn.

"Could it be that the lord has cast some kind of witchcraft?" The shaman hurriedly rushed out of the room and just saw Shang Lu walking out of the shaman's temple.

"Sir, are you leaving?"

The shaman quickly caught up, bowing and asking questions while scrutinizing Shang Lu, but still found nothing.

"Yes, I'm in a hurry to get to the Jiang Kingdom," Shang Lu replied.

The shaman was very curious about what he was going to do in Jiang Kingdom, but he didn't dare to ask too many questions. He just cautiously tried to get information out of the shaman: "How did you rest last night, sir?"

“Very good.” Shang Lu knew what the shaman was worried about, smiled, but did not explain, and left the shaman temple directly.

The shaman carefully accompanied Shang Lu, seeing him all the way to the gate. Only after Shang Lu made it clear that he didn't need to be seen any further did he stop.

After watching the pokeweed disappear into the distance, the shaman hurriedly summoned his disciples and instructed them to go back to the homes in the city with newborns to check on the situation.

Before long, the disciples returned one after another, all saying that the newborns in the city were all safe and sound.

This news relieved the shaman, but then he began to wonder: was the rumor wrong, or was this black-clad guard just passing through?
After a moment's hesitation, the shaman asked again, "Has anything strange happened in the city these past two days?"

“Speaking of strange things, I have indeed heard of a few,” one disciple replied.

"what's up?"

The shaman's heartstrings tightened instantly, and he urged, "Speak quickly, don't keep me in suspense!"

Seeing his anxiety, the disciple dared not delay and hurriedly said, "Since yesterday, the gambling dens, brothels and other places in the city have been doing much worse, and are now deserted..."

The shaman frowned, about to say what strange thing this was, when he heard the disciple say again:
“I have a friend who was in a brothel yesterday. He said he doesn’t know why, but he suddenly lost interest in women and couldn’t muster any enthusiasm anymore… There were quite a few people in the brothel who were in a similar situation. He didn’t go to the gambling den, but he saw many people who used to be addicted to gambling, practically living there, not only leaving the gambling den but also muttering things like how boring it was…”

"When did this situation begin yesterday?"

The shaman hurriedly inquired about the time, and upon checking, realized that the unusual occurrences at the brothels and gambling dens occurred precisely after the arrival of the Black-Clad Guards.

"Has their desire been drained by the Black-Clad Guards?"

Although the shaman's cultivation level was low, he was knowledgeable and immediately guessed the truth, exclaiming repeatedly, "Absorbing greed and evil desires is a good thing! Indeed, the rumors were all false!"

Completely relieved, the shaman suddenly glared at the disciple who had reported the matter and coldly questioned, "Yesterday afternoon, you weren't in the shaman's temple, were you? The friend you mentioned, could it be yourself?"

The disciple who had created something out of nothing instantly turned pale.

He was only drained of his lust by the evil lamp, but not his will to live...

At the same time, Shang Lu, who had left the county town, rode on the witch gourd and flew away.

He never expected that the shamans in this county would doubt the truth of the rumors because of him.

But soon, the shaman realized he was wrong.

Three days after Shang Lu left, two real Xuanyi Guards arrived in the county town.

After entering the city, they went straight to the temple of the shaman, just like Shang Lu.

After showing the black-robed token and identifying himself, he immediately ordered the shaman to send someone to summon the county magistrate and the registrar, and directly asked the shaman, "Have there been any newborn children in your county in the past few days?"

The shaman, who had been very enthusiastic, changed his expression drastically upon hearing this: "My lords, what is the purpose of your question?"

The two guards in black robes said sternly, "Recently, there have been monsters in the country that have been abducting children. We have been ordered to capture these monsters! If you hear any rumors, do not believe them... Also, if anyone in the city is spreading rumors, you must arrest them immediately without fail!"

The shaman did not believe what the two guards in black robes said, because the rumors clearly stated that it was these guards in black robes who had actually kidnapped the children!
The so-called demons were nothing but lies fabricated by the Black-Clad Guards to deceive the people.

The shaman's face grew increasingly grim. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "My lords, there are really no newborn children in the county recently. Why don't you go and look elsewhere?"

To lend credibility to his statement, he even brought up Shang Lu: "Just three days ago, a high-ranking officer from the Black-Clad Guard came here..."

He originally wanted to be vague and mislead the two guards into thinking that the people who came earlier had already kidnapped the newborn children in the county.

As soon as he uttered those words, the two guards in black robes darkened their expressions, their eyes filled with murderous intent, and they pressed him urgently for an answer:

"What did you say?"

"Did another Black-Clad Guard arrive before us?"

The shaman was taken aback by the reaction of the two guards in black robes, and hesitated before saying, "Yes, yes..."

The two guards in black robes pressed on, asking:
"This area is under the responsibility of my two brothers, so why is there another Black-Clad Guard here?"

Did that person show the Black Robe Token?

"No...no."

The shaman's expression changed drastically.

At this moment, he finally remembered that the guard in black robes hadn't actually shown the black robe token.

"idiot!"

"That's fake! It must be a spy!"

The two guards in black robes started cursing loudly.

fake?

While surprised, the shaman couldn't help but think to himself: Even fakes are better than the real thing! At least fakes don't harm children...

The two guards in black, unaware of his thoughts, asked in unison, "Do you know where he went?"

"They said they were going to the Jiang Kingdom," the shaman replied hesitantly.

"Go to Jiang Kingdom?"

"He said it himself?"

The two guards in black raised an eyebrow, and after receiving a definite answer, they both let out a cold laugh:

"It must be a lie! Why would he so easily reveal where he really wants to go?"

"Going to Jiang Kingdom is just a pretext... He's probably heading north to sabotage the king's important plans!"

The two guards in black robes were very confident, believing that their judgment was absolutely correct.

They never imagined that Shang Lu had already predicted their predictions.

The two immediately activated the Black Robe Token and reported the matter.

At that very moment, the "gift" that Pyracantha had left in the temple was activated in response!

A paper figure suddenly rushed out of the temple and charged straight at the two guards in black robes.

The two guards in black immediately noticed the paper figure.

"A mere trick like this? You dare to show off in front of us?"

The two snorted coldly, activated their witchcraft, and destroyed the paper figure.

However, just as the paper figure was destroyed, a blindingly bright light suddenly burst forth!

The two guards in black robes were instantly blinded, seeing only a vast expanse of white before their eyes; they could see nothing else.

At the same time, they experienced a sharp burning pain in their eyes.

Their eyes were actually burning!
