A bronze Buddha statue was placed in the very center of the altar.
This Buddha statue had a strange posture and was full of evil energy. It was clear at a glance that it was not an orthodox item.
The Buddha statue had three heads and six arms, exposing its chest. One pair of hands covered its mouth, one pair covered its eyes, and one pair covered its ears. It sat upon a lotus throne made of countless palms as petals.
Qin Qiu carefully examined it, but besides some Buddhist baleful aura, he found nothing else.
Helpless, he had to seek help from the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon sized up the Buddha statue, circling it several times.
He clicked his tongue in amazement, "To think that a monk from the Five Senses Temple is cultivating here. This is truly rare."
"The Five Senses Temple? The most mysterious of the Five Buddhas' Five Senses Temple?"
Qin Qiu had some impression of this sect. There were descriptions of them in the 'Witch Vein Anecdotal Records'.
It wrote that the Five Senses Temple, also known as the No Senses Temple, had few monks. It was rare for many cultivators to even see one in their lifetime.
The cultivation method of the Five Senses Temple was extremely bizarre, pursuing the severing of worldly desires. They believed that desires came from external influences, so the monks of the Five Senses Temple severed their five senses, thereby shielding themselves from external influences in order to achieve transcendence from the world and become Buddhas and ancestors.
Five Senses monks lose their five senses.
Reclusive people transform into spiritualized bluestone.
This was the evaluation of the world's cultivators towards the monks of the Five Senses Temple. These monks were like stones that only knew how to cultivate and become Buddhas, unaffected by anything in the outside world.
"A Five Senses Temple monk appearing here? Could it be that the villagers' disappearance is their doing?"
Qin Qiu said jokingly.
The monks of the Five Senses Temple were extremely difficult to provoke, but also very easy to talk to.
As long as you didn't block their path to pursuing Buddhahood, then everything was irrelevant to them.
But if you had an impact on their path to becoming Buddhas, then they would do everything in their power to eliminate you.
In summary, these monks were a group of lunatics pursuing so-called Buddhahood.
Qin Qiu had no past grudges or recent animosity with them, and he wasn't worried that these people would do anything to him.
Finding some simple food in the courtyard, Qin Qiu quickly devoured it.
Afterward, Qin Qiu left the village, simply discerning the direction and heading towards the Black River.
Qin Qiu hadn't forgotten that the destination of his trip was the City of Condemnation, where the tribulation energy was born.
Of course, before arriving at the City of Condemnation, Qin Qiu still needed to find a place for secluded cultivation.
Whether it was the Heart-Piercing Grass obtained from the Herbal Compendium or the Divine Molt obtained from Xi City, he needed to refine them in seclusion to turn them into his own battle strength.
This was the most important goal.
Qin Qiu stepped on the Clear Jade Snake Bone, holding a simple map found in the village, wandering little by little in the mountains.
It was clear at a glance that this map was drawn by the village hunters, marking the locations of traps, water sources, and the activity areas of beast groups.
And Qin Qiu's destination was the Deer Leap Ravine, marked as extremely dangerous.
According to the map, demons haunted the Deer Leap Ravine, said to be able to control狂风(kuáng fēng - wild wind), and it was a forbidden area in the surrounding area.
What Qin Qiu wanted to do was to find this demon and borrow his cave.
The speed of the Clear Jade Snake Bone was naturally different from those hunters. Before noon, he arrived at the Deer Leap Ravine marked on the map.
Qin Qiu carefully sensed the demonic aura around him.
Based on his judgment, this place was still within the territory of the Medicine Valley, unlike the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The demons born within these spheres of influence were mostly mountain spirits and wild monsters cultivated, unlike the demon clans within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, which also had family inheritances.
The methods of wild demons and the methods of demons with inheritance in the Hundred Thousand Mountains were naturally different. The difference between them was like fireflies vying with the bright moon.
In addition, the Medicine Valley would not allow demons with too high cultivation to run rampant in their territory, and those with too high strength had already been cleared out.
So Qin Qiu wasn't worried about encountering demons he couldn't beat at all.
Sure enough, Qin Qiu quickly found traces of the demon.
Qin Qiu tracked all the way and finally found this extremely hidden deer-shaped demon.
This demon looked like a sika deer, but its antlers were exceptionally sharp.
Qin Qiu looked at the fawn in his hand that hadn't opened its eyes yet, and slowly contracted his palm, pinching its neck.
"Crack... Crack..."
The deer's neck was deformed by Qin Qiu's two fingers, and the fawn completely lost its breath. Qin Qiu threw the fawn's body backward, throwing it together with two deer corpses that were far larger than their kind.
The Clear Jade Snake Bone slightly enlarged, pushing the three corpses to the entrance of the cave, allowing them to radiate residual heat, using the aura of the nearby overlord to deter some ignorant small demons and devils, so as not to disturb Qin Qiu's secluded cultivation.
Qin Qiu sat cross-legged, surrounded by the Snake Bone and the Black Dragon.
"Please protect me, Uncle Long!"
"You brat, don't you trust me?"
The Black Dragon joked.
"Hurry up and enter secluded cultivation. This time, you should be able to repair the cracks in the second half of the Snake Bone, right?"
Qin Qiu took out the Heart-Piercing Grass, crushed it with a jade bowl, and smeared its juice on the cracks in the Snake Bone.
Then, he extracted the two peak Three Fiends Life Realm deer-shaped demons and turned them into powder through the Spirit Casting Method.
This was the second purpose of finding these two demons, to use their spirits as an adhesive to repair the cracks in the second half of the Snake Bone.
The whole process lasted a day and a night, like assembling his favorite model, smearing it little by little, piecing it together piece by piece.
Finally, after the smearing was completed, Qin Qiu used his own Water Zodiac Thunder as a protective layer to cover the entire Snake Bone.
The constantly jumping electric arcs tempered the hardness of the Snake Bone little by little.
After doing all this, Qin Qiu took out the Divine Molt.
The Ghost Child Lord on this scroll only had form at this moment, but no spirit. This was a sign of the disappearance of the divine.
Qin Qiu's mind sank into the inner landscape, and as the pink mist spread, the figure of the Wonderful Method Immortal appeared in the inner landscape.
The Wonderful Method Immortal happily took the scroll from Qin Qiu's hand and gave Qin Qiu a sweet smile: "You really are my good younger brother, I really like you more and more!"
After saying that, she didn't care what Qin Qiu's expression was and opened the scroll to examine it carefully.
It could be seen that when the Ghost Child Lord on the scroll saw the Wonderful Method Immortal, the greedy look on his face was washed away, and it became a panicked expression.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have left a little bit, then that's just right for me!"
The Wonderful Method Immortal leaned on the scroll, and her nose sucked up the scroll from bottom to top.
With the Wonderful Method Immortal's breathing, the characters and scenery on the scroll gradually lost their color.
The Ghost Child Lord kept struggling on the scroll, but was firmly pressed down by the Wonderful Method Immortal with one hand, and finally turned into a black and white painting.
The scroll turned into flying ashes and slowly dissipated, and the Wonderful Method Immortal finally gave Qin Qiu a charming look and slowly dissipated.
