Chapter 467 Humanoid Auspicious Sign
Faced with the commendation, Gongshu Ling’s reaction was much calmer. Unlike Lu Yang and Bai Lingxu, they were shaking with excitement.

If it weren’t for the fact that one cannot be rude or make loud noises at Wangsi Peak, Lu Yang and Bai Lingxu would have been so excited that they would hug each other and celebrate.

Of course, Gongshu Ling’s calmness may also be because it was Wu Jia who was in the thatched cottage at the moment, not her real body.

As for Shang Lu, although he pretended to be excited, he was actually smiling bitterly in his heart.

Shanglu found the spiritual roots of the “Eight Ghost Immortals” in Pingdu Mountain. Even without star marrow, earth milk and thousand-family millet, he could still achieve a breakthrough with the spiritual roots of the “Eight Ghost Immortals” after his cultivation reached perfection.

Therefore, the reward given by the Witch Academy may be very generous in the eyes of others, but to Shang Lu, it is a bit useless.

However, Shang Lu changed his mind and realized that with this reward, when his cultivation level breaks through to the Tongtian realm in the future, he will not arouse suspicion and investigation.

In addition, the “Eight Ghost Immortals” took the evil path of cannibalism and were influenced by mountain ghosts, which led to strange changes. Their spiritual roots were probably also polluted and changed.

If the pollution and changes cannot be purified, and if one rashly uses the spiritual roots of the “Eight Ghost Immortals” to achieve a breakthrough, it will inevitably leave hidden dangers.

Therefore, it is safer to use Star Marrow, Earth Milk and Qianjia Millet.

As for the spiritual roots of the “Eight Ghost Immortals”, they will not be wasted. They can find an opportunity to take them to the ghost market and exchange them for spiritual medicines that they will need after breaking through to the Tongtian realm.

After entering the Tongtian realm, one needs to establish three small circulations of heaven, earth and man in the upper, middle and lower dantian to cultivate the essence, energy and spirit.

If it could be exchanged for the corresponding elixir, it would surely make the practice of Tongtian Realm more effective.

Just when Shang Lu was thinking about making another trip to the Black Wind Ferry Ghost Market, the other Witch Academy disciples in the thatched cottage, especially those who were in the Zhoutian realm, were all looking at Shang Lu and the other two with envy.

Everyone’s gaze was as hot as fire, and they wished they could replace the three people.

We all want to improve so much!

However, these disciples of the Witch Academy knew their limits. No matter how envious and jealous they were, they did not dare to act recklessly.

Because they know that all breakthrough materials rewarded by the Witch Academy have been registered.

Even if they had the ability to steal Star Marrow, Earth Milk and Thousand Family Millet from Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Bai Lingxu, they would be immediately discovered and arrested by the witch officers of the Discipline Department.

At that time, not only would they be unable to break through to the Tongtian realm, but they would also lose their lives and spiritual roots.

At this moment, while expressing envy, some smart disciples have become excited.

They detected some signals from the rewards obtained by Shang Lu and the other two.

If it were in the past, even if someone had made the same achievements, the Witch Academy would not reward all the materials for breaking through to the Tongtian Realm.

At most, they will reward two items, and then use the last item as a dangle, making people work desperately to get the last piece of material, just like a donkey with a carrot hanging in front of its head. But the result is often like the cut on Pinduoduo: you can always see hope, but you just can’t get it.

But this time, Wu Yuan was as generous as usual.

This is undoubtedly sending a signal: the number of wizards of all levels is likely to increase!

This is not just a daydream for the disciples. In recent years, new secret realms have emerged one after another in the territory of Ba State. However, neighboring countries such as Chu and Shu have been eyeing it covetously and pressing forward.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Wushan did not make any movement!

It might be difficult to increase the number of high-level wizards, but a group of mid- and low-level wizards need to be promoted!

In fact, the Witch Academy’s eclectic recruitment practices had already sent out such a signal.

And now, the generous rewards received by Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Bai Lingxu further prove this fact.

The Supervisor saw what the disciples were thinking and nodded: “Your guess is correct. So, everyone should practice hard, make more achievements, and seize this rare opportunity.”

This sentence was actually just empty talk, but after hearing it, the Wu Academy disciples in the thatched cottage were all excited and responded with a roar of approval. They were responding to the Supervisor and also cheering themselves up.

When the disciples calmed down a little, the Supervisor spoke again: “The spirit pool is ready. Go and cleanse the evil spirits and purify the pollution. Don’t leave any hidden dangers that will affect your subsequent practice.”

Then he instructed Lu Dao, Xu Shan and other doctors of the Wu Academy: “You stay and go with me to Zhenshou Peak later to see off the great Wu Zhongli for the last time.”

“Yes!”

Everyone in the thatched cottage crossed their hands and accepted the order.

Immediately, a fairy crane flew over and led Shang Lu and others to the spirit pool.

Doctors of the Witch Academy, such as Lu Dao and Xu Shan, stayed behind and went to Zhenshou Peak with the Chief Supervisor to purify the corpse and soul of the great witch Zhongli.

After the death of the great wizard Zhongli, a vacant spot in the Inner Palace Realm became available in the Witch Academy of Baiyi County, but no one knows who will get this spot.

Shang Lu and the others left the thatched cottage and followed the crane all the way away from Wangsi Peak before they dared to speak loudly.

Lu Yang, whose face was flushed with excitement, finally dared to laugh out loud at this moment.

“Hahaha, I was very disappointed when I failed to obtain spiritual roots from He Zei’s ‘Eight Ghost Immortals’ in Pingdu Mountain. I didn’t expect that after returning to the Witch Academy, there would be a sudden turn of events! Now, as long as I improve my cultivation to the perfection of Zhou Tian, ​​I can break through in one fell swoop, without wasting years and time.”

Bai Lingxu nodded in agreement: “Yes, yes, when I heard the examiner read out the rewards just now, I thought I was dreaming, especially since I pinched my thigh several times and it didn’t hurt…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Yang interrupted him with gritted teeth: “Nonsense, of course it doesn’t hurt you, you pinched my leg! You almost made me lose my composure in front of the priest!”

Bai Lingxu quickly apologized, saying that he was too excited and pinched the wrong leg.

Lu Yang snorted twice, but didn’t blame him too much.

After apologizing to Lu Yang, Bai Lingxu bowed deeply to Shang Lu and thanked him sincerely: “Junior Brother Shang, I can have this opportunity thanks to you! If it weren’t for you, I don’t know how long it would take me to gather the Star Marrow, Earth Milk and Thousand Family Millet required for a breakthrough. In the future, if you need any help from me, just ask, I will never refuse!”

Lu Yang also bowed his hands with a serious expression: “If it weren’t for Junior Brother Shang’s rescue, I would have died in Pingdu Mountain. Similarly, if Junior Brother Shang hadn’t seen through the disguise of the Great Wizard Zhongli, we wouldn’t have made any achievements and received no rewards. I’m poor and don’t have any treasures to give Junior Brother Shang, but I can only promise you that in the future, if you have any mission, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!”

After listening to Bai Lingxu and Lu Yang’s words, the other students from the Witch Academy around them also remembered the legend about Shang Lu’s “deep chance”.

Perhaps before this, many people were skeptical about this legend, or thought that their chances were no worse than Shanglu’s.

But now, many people have changed their minds.

They all thought that Shang Lu’s opportunity was indeed extraordinary!

They all came up to get close to Shang Lu and asked to be added as a friend on the Witch Academy’s jade card, so that in the future they could also benefit from Shang Lu’s achievements like Bai Lingxu and Lu Yang.

The group of Wu Academy disciples almost held Shang Lu’s hand tightly and said eagerly: “Junior Brother Shang, we also want to improve!”

Shang Lu was so confused by these senior brothers and sisters that he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Fortunately, he was eloquent and responded appropriately, and after some negotiations, he actually made this group of Witch Academy disciples have a better impression of him.

In the eyes of many people, Shanglu has become a human-shaped auspicious sign.

Although no one said anything, they all secretly decided in their hearts that they would keep a close eye on Shang Lu in the future.

Once Shang Lu takes on an assignment or is going somewhere, it is best to follow him immediately and help him in every possible way, so as to get the opportunity like Lu Yang and Bai Lingxu.

It’s all for progress and breakthrough, it’s not shameful.

(I owe two thousand words, I will make up for it tomorrow. I have been feeling anxious and short of breath recently, but the electrocardiogram I took during my previous hospitalization showed no problems. I bought Buzhong Yiqi Pills to see if they can help.)
