Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 667 Comprehending the Stone Tablet
The pill tasted quite good upon entering the mouth. What surprised Shang Lu the most was the spiritual energy contained within it, which was surprisingly pure and abundant, far superior to ordinary cultivation pills.

"The Tai Mo Academy is quite generous."

Shang Lu made a mental comment.

He was not seduced by the spiritual energy contained in the elixir, and immediately activated his internal vision technique to check the condition of his internal organs.

As expected, in the Temple of the Five Internal Organs, on the offering table of the Spleen God statue, in addition to the spiritual energy originating from this elixir, there were more than ten tiny, blood-tinged white insect eggs.

These insect eggs are the method used by the Tai Mo Academy to hide in elixirs.

At this moment, all the insect eggs were dormant, revealing not a trace of their presence. Furthermore, the pure spiritual energy within the elixir concealed their existence, making them undetectable even to expert physicians.

In other words, pokeweed has a "five internal organs temple," and everything it swallows must be sent to the five internal organs temple before it can be detected.

"Is this the egg of some kind of Gu?"

Although Shang Lu was not skilled in Gu magic, he was knowledgeable and experienced, and immediately judged the situation and guessed the Tai Mo Academy's plan.

"The Tai Mo Academy wants to use Gu magic to completely control us! That way, even if we do discover some secrets in the Divine Corpse Ferocious Land, we will have to tell them everything without reservation. Otherwise, we will suffer the torment of Gu curses!"

Shang Lu looked into the box and saw the remaining pills.

If you eat one egg every day for seven days, how far will the Gu eggs accumulate in your body?

Once it erupts, it will penetrate deep into the internal organs and wreak havoc...tsk tsk, just thinking about it is terrifying.

Moreover, the Gu poison used by Tai Mo Academy is definitely not simple; the situation will only become more terrifying!
"Luckily, I have my stomach to eat," Shang Lu thought to himself with relief.

Given the current situation, if we don't take these pills, the outcome won't be good either!
Those murals and those eyes in the hallway are all watching.

If anyone refuses to take the elixir, they will immediately be detected by the elixir, leading to even greater danger.

In other words, only when the pokeweed has a proper digestive system can it consume the Gu pill as a spiritual elixir, allowing the various Gu creatures hidden within the pill to become its nourishment.

Just as Shang Lu thought of this, he saw two beams of light, one blue and one yellow, emanating from the liver and spleen statues in the Five Organs Temple, covering the Gu eggs on the offering table, intending to kill and refine them.

"Stay on!"

Shang Lu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called for a halt.

Although these Gu eggs are dormant, the Tai Mo Academy might have some means to sense their condition.

If the two statues of the liver and spleen are killed and refined, they will likely be exposed, so it's better to leave them for now.

Anyway, once they're in your stomach, even if they're awakened, they won't cause any trouble and will eventually turn into high-protein foods.

The pokeweed made a decision, and the two statues of the liver and spleen naturally obeyed. They did not kill or refine the Gu eggs placed on the offering table, but only suppressed them and instead absorbed the spiritual energy that had been offered to the five internal organs along with them.

After confirming that everything was in order, Shang Lu ended his internal vision technique and saw the black fox staring at him expectantly, as if it was afraid that he would "protect his food" and not give him the pills.

Shang Lu immediately began to ponder how to "dispose" of the pills without the knowledge of the Tai Mo Academy.

After thinking it over and over, I still couldn't come up with a good solution.

Just as I was having a headache, I suddenly heard the black fox speak up: "Give it some, it's fine."

This is not the Black Fox's voice; it is the Mountain Spirit speaking through the Black Fox's mouth.

However, Shang Lu's first reaction was to look around.

The mountain spirit knew what he was worried about and chuckled, "Don't look, they can't hear you." After a pause, it added, "What they see and hear right now is all an illusion. They can't hear what you're saying either."

Shang Lu was immediately relieved. He then bowed to the mountain spirit according to the Nuo shaman's etiquette and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, what secrets are hidden in the cursed land of the divine corpse discovered by the Tai Mo Academy?"

"I don't know." The mountain spirit shook its head, controlling the black fox's body. "But my intuition tells me that there, I might really be able to find my lost memories and uncover the truth behind that great catastrophe!"

Shang Lu wanted to ask something more, but then he saw the black fox, who was being controlled by the mountain spirit, suddenly change its expression.

It became ferocious.

Damn, is he about to go crazy again?
Shang Lu was startled. Calculating the time, it was indeed not yet midnight. Even if the mountain spirit was conscious, it would only be for a moment and could not last. Moreover, previous experiences had already proven that as long as the mountain spirit recalled that great catastrophe, its mind would descend into madness.

Fortunately, the mountain spirit reacted quickly enough to interrupt the divine descent before it succumbed to madness.

At this moment, Shang Lu had a strange feeling—as if an invisible bubble had enveloped him, isolating him from the outside world.

Now, the bubble has burst, and everything has returned to normal. Countless eyes are once again fixed on him.

The black fox stopped talking and just stared at him longingly.

"Eat it." Shang Lu pretended to be reluctant, took out a pill and threw it to the black fox. The fox caught it with both hands, stuffed it into its mouth, and swallowed it whole.

Shang Lu, putting on a convincing act, muttered, "If the instructor hadn't just said that each person could only take one of these pills a day, I really wouldn't have been willing to give them to you. These are all good stuff!"

In reality, he was keeping a close eye on the black fox, observing its reaction.

Judging from the current situation, the black fox did not experience any discomfort after consuming the pill; in fact, it even licked its lips in savoring the taste.

That's right, those Gu eggs are still dormant and won't harm anyone yet.

Moreover, with the mountain spirit's guarantee, even if the Gu egg awakens, it won't cause any trouble.

Shang Lu was relieved and then told Black Fox to prepare the five-spice soup. Compared to the elixirs, it seemed that Tai Mo Academy hadn't done anything to the five-spice soup.

The pokeweed soaked in the solution without feeling any discomfort. It even saw that Third Sister had also soaked in it, which meant it was clearly a good thing.

Soon, the pokeweed also experienced the benefits of the five-spice soup.

This was clearly no ordinary five-spice soup. Soaking in it was not just about washing and purifying the body. Shang Lu felt that his mental state was also strengthened during the soaking process.

"It seems that Tai Mo Academy isn't just using us as cannon fodder; they genuinely hope that we can glean secrets from the so-called 'divine revelation'..."

Shanglu pondered to himself.

If the goal is simply to use them as cannon fodder, there's really no need to invest so much.

This is good news for pokeweed.

Immediately, without thinking about anything else, he went straight to the five-spice soup and began to cultivate his skills.

The Divine Corpse's Ferocious Land is bound to be fraught with danger. Even with the secret assistance of deities like the Mountain Spirit and Wuzhiqi, one must still possess formidable personal abilities.

Unfortunately, countless eyes were watching from all sides, preventing him from taking out the stone tablet to study and complete the "Heart Sutra of the Highest Good is Like Water".

Just as Shang Lu was feeling regretful, he suddenly felt as if the spiced soup he was soaking in was boiling, bubbling continuously and steam rising up.

"what?"

Shang Lu was suddenly startled.

Is there something strange about this five-spice soup?
But why is this strangeness so direct, without any attempt at concealment?

Shang Lu instinctively reached out to pull Black Fox out of the Five-Spice Soup, but at that moment his gaze fell upon the teardrop-shaped tattoo on the back of his hand, and the billowing steam emanating from it.

"wrong."

Shang Lu instantly suppressed his impulse.

The change in the five-spice soup was not due to anything strange hidden in the soup, but rather because Wuzhiqi stirred it.

But why would He do that?
Shang Lu quickly glanced around. The rising mist instantly became extremely dense, enough to obscure the murals and the surveillance of eyes inside the study building.

But these eyes remained completely unaffected by the appearance and obstruction of the water mist.

It seems they are seeing a different picture.

"A water mist illusion? A mirage?"

The pokeweed made a judgment instantly.

"It has to be me, Wuzhiqi, the great one. He's ruthless and doesn't talk much... Once I get out of the Divine Corpse Land alive and escape the entanglement of the Taimo Academy, I'll definitely offer you a few more incense sticks!"

Shanglu made a promise in his heart that he wouldn't take any money from it.

Or rather, it's like making empty promises to Wuzhiqi.

With Wuzhiqi creating the mirage, Shanglu naturally didn't need to worry about the Taimo Academy discovering his secrets.

He immediately took out the stone tablet and began to read the fragment of the Heart Sutra that he had learned.

The water ripples on the stone tablet quickly resonated, releasing wisps of blue light that absorbed Shang Lu's soul.

Shang Lu had already experienced something similar once before in the Water Mansion Secret Realm, so he wasn't panicked at all. He simply visualized the water spirits in his mind, transforming himself into one of them and flowing along with them...

Time flies by in this process.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

During these seven days of fasting and purification, none of the people from Tai Mo Academy stepped into the meditation hall.

I don't know if they were afraid that their presence would affect the effectiveness of the fasting purification, or if they didn't want to be involved in the ritual.

Shang Lu, with the help of the mirage created by Wuzhiqi, successfully deciphered the contents recorded on the stone tablet, thus filling in a gap in the Heart Sutra.

Unfortunately, this technique remains incomplete and has not been fully completed.

Although it was not fully completed, the effect of the Heart Sutra was two to three times greater than before!
Even so, this was only the case when Shang Lu had just grasped the essence and had not yet perfected it.

If you practice it to perfection, wouldn't the effect be even greater?

If this technique could be completely completed, how amazing would its effects and power be elevated to?

It's no wonder that even a fragment of a book could be placed next to a divine corpse.

Upon thinking about this, Shang Lu couldn't help but wonder if the "Heart Sutra of Supreme Goodness is Like Water" was really a cultivation method practiced by deities.
I just don't know when it will be completely completed?

As movement occurred in the study hall, the mist that had enveloped Shang Lu and the Black Fox finally dissipated, and Shang Lu ended his cultivation at that moment.

Soon, footsteps sounded, and the school official who had brought them here earlier reappeared in front of the two.
