Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 682 Demon Pill
After escaping dozens of nautical miles and confirming that Sea Spirit Island had returned to calm and the strange, black-light-like gaze had not reappeared, Shang Lu breathed a sigh of relief before escaping the ocean and mounting the witch gourd again.

While traveling through the sea at high speeds, it also consumes a tremendous amount of vital energy.

Especially after the Wuzhiqi Nuo mask formed by the water ripples disappeared, this consumption increased even more.

Although Shang Lu had enough essence and qi, his realm had just broken through and was still unstable. He had also experienced a great battle and pollution, making his aura even more chaotic. He needed to quickly activate his power and practice cultivation.

Therefore, after riding the gourd and setting a destination for it to fly to the land on its own, Shang Lu activated his cultivation technique and began to practice.

The little black fox lay listlessly on the witch gourd.

The gourd was only so big, which made the little black fox, who was used to freedom and liked to run around, very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it peered around and saw that there was a vast ocean below. If it fell in, even if it didn't drown, it would be torn apart and eaten by the fish and monsters in the sea. That's why it didn't dare to move.

But after waiting for a while, it got really bored and started babbling and cooing.

After entering the Mingxin Realm, Shanglu's mental resistance increased significantly, and he became completely unaffected by this harassment.

But he also realized that he needed to find something for the little animal to do, otherwise, if it kept barking now, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause later.

With a quick glance, Shang Lu remembered the beast cultivation technique he had bought from Senior Brother Feng Boyuan.

Hei Yun had successfully cultivated Qi and opened his spiritual aperture after practicing this technique, which was perfect for teaching the little black fox to lay the foundation and also to give it something to do.

Shang Lu immediately stopped cultivating and said to the little black fox, "I have a cultivation technique here that is perfect for beasts. Would you like to learn it?"

Although the little black fox cannot speak human language, it was chosen by the mountain spirit, so it has no problem with its spirituality and can understand human speech.

He immediately nodded repeatedly, indicating his willingness.

It even stood up on its own, holding its two furry little front paws and bowing repeatedly to the pokeweed, just like a dog paying New Year's greetings.

Little did the little black fox know that Shang Lu's words had employed sophistry and the art of rhetoric from renowned masters. Even if it had no such desire, let alone one that yearned for cultivation, it would still be tempted.

Shang Lu discovered that since entering the Divine Dream and witnessing the power of the eerie blood mist, and after breaking through his cultivation level, the power of his eloquence and sophistry had also increased, and he had come to understand many new techniques.

On the little black fox, it was merely a small test.

Shang Lu quickly taught the little black fox the beast cultivation techniques. He thought there would be many parts it wouldn't understand and he would have to explain them further, but he found that it was unnecessary.

The little black fox indeed didn't understand many aspects of the cultivation technique, as could be seen from its bewildered expression.

But whenever it looks bewildered, its ears perk up as if some sound is coming, and its expression changes from bewilderment to seriousness, as if it is listening to a teaching. After a moment, the bewilderment and confusion on its face disappear.

"Is it the mountain spirit answering its questions?"

Pokeweed quickly came to this conclusion, and while marveling at it, it couldn't help but mutter to itself:
Why didn't the Mountain Spirit just teach it a set of techniques? Was it because its skill level was too low, or was there some other reason?

Although curious, Shang Lu was too lazy to think about it. After teaching the technique, seeing that the little black fox had no questions, he resumed his own cultivation.

The little black fox, after tilting its head and pricking up its ears to listen to the explanation from the mysterious voice inside its body, also began to cultivate in a serious manner.

The gourd fell silent, with only the whistling wind blowing past.

After the gourd flew out of the sacrificial range of the spirit-gathering array, sea monsters began to appear in the sea. At first, there were only one or two scattered ones, but later there were more and more of them.

These sea monsters had previously been drawn by the chaotic power emanating from Sea Spirit Island, wandering around the island in an attempt to get a share of the spoils.

Even after being driven out of the sacrificial range of the Spirit Gathering Array by Shang Lu under the guise of the Water God, it did not completely disperse.

They remained here partly to wait for the human cultivators from Sea Spirit Island to arrive, so they could ambush and devour them.

On the other hand, they were also observing the changes on Hailing Island, hoping to see if there was a chance to go back and pick up some treasures.

Therefore, after Shang Lu and the little black fox rode the witch gourd and flew out of the sacrificial range of the spirit-gathering array, they were immediately targeted by the demons and ghosts hidden in this sea area.

At this moment, Wuzhiqi's water god mask had disappeared, and in the eyes of these sea monsters and sea ghosts, Shang Lu was just an ordinary human cultivator.

As for the little black fox, it was not even worth their attention.

After watching for a while, one of the sea monsters couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly spewed out a torrent from the sea, like a sharp wave of knives, straight towards the witch gourd in mid-air.

At the same time, the enormous shark demon twisted its body violently, slapped its fins against the seawater, and leaped directly out of the water, opening its gaping maw full of sharp teeth, waiting for Shang Lu and the little black fox to be knocked down by the waves so it could swallow them whole.

On the gourd, Shang Lu sensed the sea monster's murderous intent just as it was about to attack.

Seeing that it had actually launched a sneak attack, Shang Lu snorted coldly: "You're courting death!"

He chanted Confucian mantras, pointed at the raging torrent, and shouted, "Use their own methods against them!" At the same time, he recited the Heart Sutra of Supreme Goodness.

The water spirits in the torrent responded joyfully to Shang Lu, and at his command, they turned around and attacked the shark demon that had burst out of the sea.

The shark demon was stunned to see the torrent suddenly turn around in mid-air. It had used this move to kill many passing cultivators and ships without fail, and had never encountered such a strange situation before.

But it didn't take it too seriously.

In the eyes of the shark demon, it was a sea spirit, so how could it be afraid of water?

But the next moment, its expression changed drastically, and it hurriedly tried to dive into the sea, but it was too late.

The returning torrent was much stronger than before, both in speed and force.

Moreover, the water ripples were imbued with a breath of lung-metal energy exhaled by the pokeweed.

When gold and water meet, the torrent is completely transformed into a sharp water blade!

"boom--"

The torrent struck the shark demon instantly, shattering its protective demonic aura, breaking its tough scales, and splitting it in two.

"Wow..."

Blood rained down, instantly staining a large area of ​​the sea red. Then, the shark demon's corpse crashed into the sea, creating huge waves.

On the gourd, Shang Lu exclaimed "Eh!" and raised his hand. The essence contained within the torrent immediately flew out like a tentacle, taking a pale blue water droplet, radiating spiritual energy, into his hand.

It was actually a demon core!
