Start as a Temple Spirit

Shang Liangshan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. It seemed that men still had a childlike innocence even when they were old.

He held back his laughter and asked Heizi whether any ghosts had appeared near the village after they left.

It turned out that there really were some, but they were all wandering ghosts, and most of them were driven away by the black guys.

Those that cannot be driven away will naturally be eaten by the black spots and the grass.

It is naturally nice to have nothing to do in the countryside. Everyone chatted, walked on the road in the field, and looked at the paddy fields sparkling with crystal light under the moonlight. Their mood couldn't help but relax.

When they returned to the village gate, the moon was already high in the sky.

The full moon rarely avoids the dark clouds, and sheds its bright moonlight, illuminating the earth with a silvery white.

The militiamen on duty breathed a sigh of relief and felt safe when they saw them return safely.

"Chief, Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, Brother Chao, you are back." The Yibao people arrived with joy on their faces.

"Little Leopard, have you succeeded in absorbing the spirit?" When the old patriarch saw the leopard coming, he was stunned at first, and then he was happy, because the latter's happy expression was enough to explain something.

"Yes," the leopard nodded, and whispered to the tribe leader, the water, and the earth, Yang Chao, who had surrounded them, "It's successful. It's very simple to absorb spirits again, but you have to nourish the spirit tools and the demon spirits, which is very labor-intensive."

"That's natural. After all, there's one more foodie." Shang Liangshan smiled faintly, controlled the purple cloud to fly towards the village wall, and said to everyone, "Let's go back to the village and I'll show you something good."

"Good stuff?" The old patriarch murmured, and then he thought of something and his eyes lit up.

Yishui and the others then thought of something and their eyes lit up.

"What good stuff?" Yibao asked impatiently.

"Don't ask so many questions. You will see it later." The old patriarch ended the topic and walked towards the village gate.

"Ga ga" Heizi flew to the head of the leopard and started whispering.

On the wall of the village, everyone sat down. Shang Liangshan flipped his hand and a blood-colored pill appeared in his hand. He said to everyone, "This is a pill made from a wolf corpse. I call it Qi and Blood Pill."

"Qi Xue Dan, as the name suggests, is a pill containing pure Qi and blood."

"That's good stuff. Let me try it." Yang Chao took the Qi and Blood Pill without hesitation, swallowed it, closed his eyes and started practicing.

He is really not afraid of being poisoned to death at all.

This made the old patriarch who wanted to stop it too late, and he could only wait for the result like everyone else.

The sound of footsteps can be heard. It is Yifeng, Yijin and Yihuo coming to take over the shift.

The old patriarch made a silencing gesture to the three people and pointed at Yang Chao who was practicing with his eyes closed.

Everyone just waited quietly for Yang Chao to finish his training.

Shang Liangshan asked Yibao to fetch the bottle storing the elixir, and then entered the purple mist.

He wanted to help the purple shadow chain transform into a furnace of heaven and earth to speed up the process of refining the vengeful spirits.

When the leopard returned carrying a sack, Yang Chao also ended his practice and slowly opened his eyes.

"How effective is the pill?" the old patriarch asked Yang Chao impatiently.

"It strengthens the Qi and blood, and strengthens the muscles and bones. It has little effect on spiritual practice and is difficult to absorb." Yang Chao said as he stood up and stretched his muscles.

“This Qi and Blood Pill is refined from a wolf corpse. It contains essence of blood, tendons and bones. It is of great benefit to martial artists. For spiritual practitioners, taking it can only strengthen their bodies.” The old patriarch analyzed.

"That should be the case. I only absorbed one-fifth of the medicinal power, but I feel strong and healthy." Yang Chao nodded.

"In that case, the Qi and Blood Pill refined by Liangshan is very suitable for men in the Blood Refining Realm." Yifeng gave the positioning of the Qi and Blood Pill.

"Reinforcing qi and blood is the foundation of martial arts. Now we have the help of qi and blood pills, we are blessed." Yi Jin said with a smile.

"The Qi and Blood Pills should be supplied to the temple guards first. What do you think?" The old patriarch looked at everyone and asked.

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. The temple guards had a special status and were the best-charactered of the younger generation, so they were indeed worthy of vigorous training.

"Then let's talk about the distribution of the demon wolf souls." The old patriarch briefly recounted the battle in which the fishermen benefited.

"My second brother, third sister and I are of no use." Yifeng shook his head.

"First Elder, why can't you, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder be of use?" Shang Liangshan, who came out of the purple mist, asked in confusion.

According to his understanding, the Divine Palace realm of spiritual cultivation and the Soul Absorption realm of martial cultivation are similar in nature, both of which absorb professional spiritual objects. The difference is that one absorbs souls in the Dantian, and the other absorbs souls in the Divine Palace.

The Temple of the Gods is created by the space created by the pineal gland and is located between the eyebrows, which is the third eye in human legend.

"Liangshan, you may have some misunderstandings about spiritual cultivation." Yifeng said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Liang Shan walked forward and sat on a chair, waiting for the explanation.

Yifeng took a sip of tea, organized his words and said, "The spiritual absorption of spiritual cultivation and the spiritual absorption of martial arts cultivation are somewhat different."

“The spirit absorption of martial artists is to forcibly refine spiritual objects, which is an act of overbearing.

"As for spiritual cultivation, one must accompany the spiritual object for a long time to nurture its spirituality. Only then can one absorb its spiritual power and spirituality into the divine palace, and then use spiritual power to nourish it and materialize it into a spiritual tool."

"Oh" Shang Liangshan understood a little.

"The misunderstanding of Liangshan should be attributed to me." Yijin said with a smile.

Shang Liangshan nodded his head at this, because Yi Jin's fighting style was martial arts.

He showed memories of the lost gold and talked about the past.

He was originally a famous blacksmith in the surrounding villages, but was later forced into the army and practiced martial arts to save his life.

As fate would have it, a disaster of evil broke out and they fled to the Forgotten Land.

In order to survive, he, who had the cultivation level of Qi Refining Realm, had to do his old job as a blacksmith, making farm tools and weapons. Later, he met a wise man from the Mohist School and switched to tool repair halfway.

Because of his solid foundation, his spiritual practice was able to surpass others and he was the first to break through the Divine Palace realm.

The spiritual object is the mortal hammer that has accompanied him for half his life. It has spirituality but no spiritual power. The golden hammer is materialized through the long-term nourishment of spiritual power.

"What about the Third Elder? Shouldn't a pharmacist's spiritual weapon be an alchemy furnace?" Shang Liangshan asked out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Yi Feng nodded and said, “Logically speaking, the pharmacist’s spiritual weapon is indeed the furnace of alchemy.”

“But in the early stage of building the village, we urgently need combat power, so Wangmu used a piece of demon vine as a weapon.”

"Later, she developed feelings for the demon vine, and the demon vine also gained spirituality, so she simply absorbed the spirit."

At this point, Yifeng looked at Liangshan and said, "In the morning, Wangmu decided to go into seclusion and absorb spirits again, just like Yijin, and absorb a spiritual mortal alchemy furnace."

Shang Liangshan smiled when he heard this, it really is a matter of one move affecting the entire body.

He turned to look at Yi Jin and asked, "Second Elder, is your martial arts cultivation level also capable of absorbing spirits?"

"Yes," Yi Jin nodded subconsciously, and then he thought of something.

He looked at Shang Liangshan with a strange expression and asked, "Liangshan, do you want me to subdue the wolf monster and continue my martial arts?"

"That's right. Whether it's spiritual cultivation or martial arts cultivation, the purpose is to become stronger. There's nothing wrong with practicing both spiritual and martial arts." Shang Liangshan said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought. That's right.
