There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 123: The role of looking up at the stars
At this time, Lu Yue, who was hiding in the body bag, took a quick look and saw that there were more than a dozen extraordinary people gathered in the hall, and there were also many people watching from the outside.

The giant bronze turtle also realized that it could not stop it, so it just stood aside and watched coldly, not knowing what it was thinking.

Some brave extraordinary people saw that the giant bronze turtle did not move, and approached its heart, but soon their faces changed suddenly and they retreated.

"As soon as I got close, I felt my heart resonating and beating faster and faster."

"This is too weird. How can we get close with our strength?"

After the failed attempt, the extraordinary person retreated to the side and began to think of a good strategy.

The scene was clearly divided into three camps.

Giant bronze turtle, cook, and wanderer.

The three forces each have their own ulterior motives, and the atmosphere is suffocatingly tense. The giant bronze turtle is undoubtedly the most powerful, and just standing there is enough to bring great deterrence to people.

As time passed, many extraordinary people who came after hearing the news appeared. Some of them retreated quietly after seeing this scene and estimating their own strength.

Anyone could see that this hall was destined to be flooded with blood.

Becoming a god is good, but life is more important.

There are still countless opportunities in the Bronze Palace, so there is no need to stick to this place.

Those who can stay now are either very confident in their own strength or are driven by greed. After all, the temptation to become a god is in front of them, and not everyone can refuse it.

Slowly...nearly twenty extraordinary people gathered in the hall.

Most of them are the fourth level of Shenzang.

Lu Yue discovered something very strange. Most of the extraordinary people here looked very familiar. These people had all consumed "Looking Up at the Stars" before.

Is this a coincidence or intentional?

"We have almost enough people." The cook uttered these words with a strange smile on his face. He looked at the giant bronze turtle and said, "Village guard, didn't you just say that in order to become a god, you need to spread copper shells to pave the way?"

Because of what happened earlier, the giant bronze turtle did not look kindly upon the cook and responded coldly: "Yes, but it is too late to collect bronze shells now."

The copper coins in the hands of the ancients were difficult to earn. One copper coin often required a day's work, and now that the bronze palace has been built, who knows what new changes will occur.

He had been collecting for two months and was still a little short of the required amount.

The other people at the scene overheard the conversation and frowned when they touched their pockets.

When in the ruins, copper coins can be used to purchase "Looking Up at the Stars", magic tools, or given to the ancients to increase their favorability. A normal person would definitely consume all the copper coins to improve their strength, not to stockpile copper coins.

And there is a saying that has been passed down since ancient times.

My neighbor hoards food and I hoard guns. My neighbor is my granary.

As a result, more than 20 people at the scene could not even collect a copper coin.

"I hadn't thought in advance that the road to becoming a god would require copper shells to pave the way. But since copper shells are formed by the souls of those extraordinary people, why bother with the formalities?" The cook suddenly moved and walked straight towards the Seven Apertures Heart area.

"You... come here."

When approaching the Seven Apertures Heart area, the cook pointed at a person. The person frowned and cursed, but the strange thing was that he actually walked over the next second.

With a whoosh, the man fell to the ground in the flash of the knife.

The cook stepped on it and took a small step forward.

"The ancients often said that the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. It seems that there is some truth to this."

Although it is not as good as using copper shells directly, it may be due to the lack of some fragment rules or something, but the direction is right, and the lives of extraordinary people can also be used to build a bridge to the path to becoming a god.

This path to becoming a god is destined to be filled with rivers of blood, but that blood will not be his.

"You, you, you, and you, come here." The chef ordered three extraordinary people in succession. The strange thing was that the three people actually came forward and became his stepping stones.

"What's going on? How does he control people?"

Everyone's scalp was tingling, and the scene before them was becoming more and more weird.

"Wait, those people's hearts... why are they gone?"

Someone pointed forward with a horrified look on his face. The corpse that was originally killed by the cook and turned into a ladder had its chest shriveled up. Hearts floated out of it, turned into blood mist, and slowly floated into the Seven Apertures Heart.

Everyone looked up and saw the floating seven-aperture exquisite heart in front of them beating thumpingly. They were surprised to find that compared to the beginning, it seemed to have become a little bigger and more vivid, which made people shudder.

"This exquisite heart with seven orifices is absorbing the hearts of living people." Someone shouted in horror.

"It's too evil. I don't want this exquisite heart anymore!"

"leave here."

No matter whether it was the strange changes of the Seven Apertures Heart or the cook's method of killing anyone he pointed at, this scene made everyone feel unprecedented fear.

But when they tried to move away from the hall, something strange happened.

The exquisite heart with seven orifices in the distance suddenly shook violently again, and then the door behind them closed with a snap, and no matter how hard everyone tried, they couldn't open it.

"You...and you all...come here." The cook's voice was like a death warrant. The people who were pointed at suddenly froze and walked away involuntarily.

In the flash of the knife, several people died on the spot.

The cook climbed up to the top step by step on the human-shaped ladder.

This extremely strange scene stimulated everyone. The remaining dozen people looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally gritted their teeth and decided to take action at the same time, first getting rid of the short man, and then thinking of a way out.

But just as those people were about to take action, the cook looked back at everyone, and the next second, they found that they were completely unable to move.

"I can't mobilize my spiritual energy."

"Me too, I feel like the blood in my body is about to stop flowing."

"Damn it, what did you do to us?!!!"

Except for a few people, most of the people at the scene were infected and stood stiffly in place. At this moment, fear came like a tide, and everyone felt a chill on their spine and their hair stood on end.

"How did you do it... I remember now, you are the cook, and you made the spiritual food?" The giant bronze turtle at the side also became nervous and looked at the cook with a serious expression.

"You have been planning for the ruins for two months, but do you know that I have been planning for this ruins for a full half a year?" The cook's voice was low and cold.

"In order to prepare the raw materials for these ghost foods, I personally went to the ancient mass graves to collect the oil and water. As for the side dishes... every one of them was carefully selected by me."

"The most important thing is the main dish, the blue-scaled carp from the underworld. It only needs a little cooking, and the extraordinary people can unleash their potential by eating it."

"Eating just one bowl of ghost food made with these top-quality ingredients can give you the opportunity to break through the fourth level of the Divine Hidden Realm by consuming your lifespan and potential..."

what!
Everyone at the scene was horrified. The spiritual food they paid for looked ordinary, but it could help people achieve breakthroughs quickly. It actually damaged their lifespan and future potential. What a vicious cook!!!
At this moment, everyone came to their senses and started to curse the cook.

Even Lu Yue, who was hiding in a body bag nearby, had his eyelids twitched.

No wonder the descendant of the Gongshu lineage was able to suppress several people in the Yinmen industry alone. It turned out that it was the explosive potential of the edible blue-scaled carp.

Lu Yue thought carefully about what he had experienced before.

In the stinky tofu incident, stinky tofu can suppress the spiritual energy of the extraordinary person.

In the blue carp incident, the weird carp can overdraw its potential.

This was just what he knew, not to mention the events that Lu Yue didn't know about, the mass grave oil, and other raw materials...

The chef had been planning for this relic for half a year, and used these ingredients to cook a big hodgepodge. The result was a pot that was undetectable and could even break through the fourth level of the Divine Hidden Realm and look up at the stars.

This pot of food is absolutely natural, without any technology, it's all made with hard work.

"It's a blessing for you people to be able to eat the ghost food I make." The cook was not angry, and climbed up one by one, stepping on the corpses of the extraordinary people.

The few extraordinary people who had not eaten were ready to fight their way out, but they were surrounded by those extraordinary people who had eaten and looked up at the stars. They were captured alive without any effort and became part of the human-shaped ladder.

Not only that, a few people would occasionally enter the closed hall, most of whom were people who had eaten Looking Up at the Stars, as if they had received the call from the chef.

What is even more despairing and terrifying is that the Seven Apertures Heart is intentionally controlling everything, and all extraordinary people can enter but not leave.

Seeing that the chef's alternative method was feasible, the giant bronze turtle on the side became anxious. If he didn't get anxious, he would have no chance at all when the other party reached the top, so he seized the opportunity and attacked suddenly.

The huge body was like a moving mountain, pressing down on the cook.

The cook was agile and wielded a kitchen knife in his hand, swinging it back. However, the sharp knife energy only caused sparks to splash on the shell of the giant bronze turtle without hurting it at all.

"You think you can kill me? A wild cook is still a wild cook, not worthy of being on the stage." The giant bronze turtle lost its copper shell and could not get close to the cook. Finally, it growled in a deep voice: "I destroyed these human-shaped stairs of yours. I wonder what you can use to reach the top."

The giant bronze turtle changed its approach and attacked the controlled extraordinary people.

Sure enough, the cook's face changed drastically.

Although using the human-shaped ladder can be used to get closer to the Seven Apertures Heart, the whole process requires a large number of extraordinary people. He is also worried that the same thing will happen as with the bronze giant turtle, in case there are only a few extraordinary people's ladders left in the end.

The cook stepped back down the stairs and stopped the giant bronze turtle. At the same time, the extraordinary people who were eating the star-gazing food at the scene were also controlled and attacked the giant bronze turtle together.

bang bang bang...

The battle was extremely fierce. Although the giant bronze turtle was powerful, it was restrained and unable to move by the dozen extraordinary people who had promoted themselves by consuming their potential.

For a moment, the scene fell into chaos and fighting.

At this moment, Lu Yue's eyelids twitched in the distance.

He found that everyone was gradually moving away from the heart as the fight went on.

good chance!
The body bag crawled further inland, gradually approaching the heart area.

And slowly climbed up the ladder of the cook's corpse.

This Yaling body bag was truly magical. It could actually withstand the impact of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart's heartbeat. Not long after, Lu Yue hitchhiked to the top, but at this time he was still some distance away from the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart.

The body bag is good, but Lu Yue can't do anything while being put inside it.

After careful consideration, Lu Yue carefully tore open the zipper, leaving only a tiny gap.

Just because I looked at you for a second longer in the crowd, that floating heart seemed to sense Lu Yue's gaze and suddenly trembled.

boom!
A mental shock came like a violent storm, and a strange voice echoed in Lu Yue's mind, carrying an irresistible magic.

"Give me a heart... give me a heart... become a god..."

At the same time, an indescribable heat instantly swept through my limbs and bones, as if I was in a furnace. The blood in my body flowed irregularly, sometimes speeding up and sometimes reversing, like a wild horse running out of control. My body temperature soared and my heart beat violently, like drumbeats on a battlefield, and each beat seemed to shatter my chest.

The next second, the topaz body was passively triggered.

The messy mental pollution in Lu Yue's mind finally disappeared.

Normal temperature, normal heartbeat...

After he regained his consciousness and there were no more strange whispers in his ears, Lu Yue looked at the heart again. His heart tightened. At such a close distance, he found that there were some strange flocs floating around the Seven-Aperture Heart like living things.

It feels like having floaters.

Lu Yue rubbed his eyes, but the suspended particles were still there.

The scene he experienced before made Lu Yue feel more and more that the evil nature of this "Seven Apertures Heart" was not at all like the seven apertures heart that was full of positive colors in the legend.

This thing actually tempts people to sacrifice their hearts.

Lu Yue's face was solemn, as if he had realized something.

There are two ways to get close to the Seven Apertures Heart.

The first method is to pave the road with the copper shells of the giant bronze turtle. This method is relatively correct. After all, the copper shells not only contain the souls of extraordinary people, but also integrate some fragments of rules.

The second is the chef’s trick. Rather than building a human-shaped staircase to the top, it is more like feeding this evil heart.

Now that he thought about it, Lu Yue understood why there were so many heartless ghosts on both sides of the hall. Perhaps their hearts were all absorbed by this strange seven-orifice exquisite heart.

This seven-aperture heart is so evil, can it really make people become gods?

[Source Energy +1]

At this moment, Lu Yue, who was lost in thought, realized that the prompt sound had actually appeared in his mind before, and it was not an auditory hallucination, but really existed.

Where does this source of energy come from?

Lu Yue suddenly came to his senses.

This seven-orifice exquisite heart has absorbed so many copper shells, extraordinary people who eat ghost food, and the hearts of heartless ghosts... It is equivalent to a source energy barrel in itself.

Lu Yue looked up again and saw with his own eyes two floating objects coming towards him.

Refined instantly.

[Source Energy +1, +1]

If just rubbing it can lead to such a huge profit, wouldn't it be a big profit to just blow it up?
Lu Yue's heart was burning with anger, but he did not forget the danger at the same time. Instead, he unzipped the body bag little by little to test the attack strength of the Seven Apertures Heart.

There is another party, and this time it will probably be at night.
