Chapter 84: Mysterious Heart Curse Level 4, New Realm News

The room was dark as ink, the only light coming from the sunlight coming in through the window.

After Qin Shuang finished saying this, the scene was completely silent, like a dark night with no sound at all.

Shen Bai played with the teacup in his hands and asked, "Who is your teacher?"

Qin Shuang's gaze lingered on Shen Bai's right hand: "The governor of the Tianjian Division, Liu Wufeng."

The Tianjiansi had a strict hierarchy in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The astronomical monitoring officials in each place are divided into several levels.

The lowest rank was the Sizhou official, like Qin Shuang.

Above them are Sizhou Hu, Sizhou Xiao, and Sizhou Wei.

Finally, there is Governor Si.

Of course, the governors here will keep changing.

The Great Zhou Kingdom was divided into five levels: capital, roads, prefectures, states, and counties.

In a state-level city, he is called the governor, and in a prefecture-level city, he is called the mayor.

And so on, the levels above are constantly changing, and the others are also constantly changing. For example, if Qin Shuang is at this level and reaches a prefecture-level city, he will be called a prefectural official.

Shen Bai didn't expect that it would be the Governor of Fenglin State who admired him so much.

This is a real big shot, in charge of the Astronomical Observatory of a state.

Below the state are countless counties, and accordingly, county-level cities are also governed by the governor.

However, Shen Bai felt that Qin Shuang's statement was questionable.

Seeing Shen Bai remained silent, Qin Shuang asked, "Shen Bai, don't you want to?"

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but there are many things to consider."

"for example?"

"No examples."

Shen Bai put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I just need to think about it."

These words are all true, and Shen Bai needs to think carefully about many things.

Is joining the Tianjiansi a good thing? It is indeed a good thing for Shen Bai, there is no doubt about that.

Shen Bai's golden finger requires not only hard work, but also evil spirits and strange things.

Putting aside the weird things, evil spirits are inextricably linked to weirdness.

As for where is the easiest place to come into contact with the weird, it must be the Tianjiansi.

For example, if Shen Bai continued to stay in Shengyun County and came into contact with strange possibilities, it would be like fishing in water, relying entirely on luck.

This is also the reason why Shen Bai wants to go to Fenglin Province.

The job of the Tianjiansi is to eliminate the weird things. If you join the Tianjiansi, you may be able to come into contact with the weird things more easily.

But none of this requires an answer right now.

There is still County Magistrate Li who has not been dealt with. Shen Bai needs to take advantage of this time to think carefully.

Qin Shuang also knew that it was impossible to get an answer from Shen Bai in such a short time, so he nodded and said, "Then you should think about it carefully first. If you have any ideas, please tell me at any time."

Shen Bai said: "Can Zhou Qing join the Heavenly Monitoring Division?"

Joining the Tianjiansi has always been Zhou Qing's dream. Now that Li Yun is dead, Shen Bai has not forgotten this.

Qin Shuang thought for a moment and said, "This time Zhou Qing's incident is over. We can proceed with the assessment through normal channels. If we pass the assessment, then there will be no problem."

"I don't need to be tested?" Shen Bai pointed at himself.

Qin Shuang shook his head and said, "Teacher is the governor of the department. There are some indicators that can be specially recruited, but you don't need them."

Shen Bai touched his chin: "Am I so outstanding?"

The corners of Qin Shuang's mouth twitched slightly.

She really wanted to ask, "Do you have no idea?", but when she thought that saying such words would be inconsistent with her status as a lady, she forced herself to hold it back, and finally only left a few words.

"You...are very qualified. If you are not qualified, there is no one else who can be found in Shengyun County."

Shen Bai stood up: "Okay, I'll go get busy first."

The matter has been discussed till now and is almost over.

Shen Bai still wanted to improve his proficiency in the Xuan Xin Curse, so he didn't plan to waste time here.

Qin Shuang walked into the room naturally.

Shen Bai frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qin Shuang turned around and said with such skill that it made people feel distressed: "Go back to the room and rest."

Shen Bai frowned: "Your identity has been exposed, why are you still staying here with me?"

Qin Shuang put on a pitiful look and said, "The inn is very expensive, and now is the fishing season. I'm waiting for the fish to bite. Your place is much more convenient..."

Shen Bai raised his hand.

Qin Shuang immediately covered his head and ran into the room, never to come out again.

Seeing this, Shen Bai shook his head helplessly, turned back to the yard, and began to practice his proficiency in the Xuan Xin Curse.

He was not afraid of Qin Shuang seeing it, just like before.

Because even if he was seen, at best people would think that he was practicing his skills seriously.

This day passed in Shen Bai's frenzy.

……

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

Recently, Shengyun County has fallen into a long-lost tranquility, just like the coast after a storm. Apart from the noise of the wind, not a trace of dust is stirred up.

The people live and work in peace and contentment. As for the recent major events, they have forgotten them completely, just like a fish with a seven-second memory.

This is the case.

I am busy making a living every day, so I don’t have time to think about other things.

Being alive is already a serious and formal matter.

Inside the Shen family pawnshop.

Shen Bai stood in the yard, let out a long sigh, picked up the blood and qi medicine next to him, and drank it down with a gulp.

It not only replenishes qi and blood, but also relieves thirst.

"This magical power is really exhausting."

Shen Bai smacked his lips and thought to himself.

A familiar line of smoke appeared in front of Shen Bai's eyes.

The smoke gradually condensed and eventually turned into words, floating in the air like clouds.

【玄心咒lv.4（清心+8，平性+8，加持+8，不侵+8）：0/10000】

"Finally reached level 4. I can now trade for the next supernatural power."

By the time the smoke disappeared, Shen Bai had absorbed all the information and mastered the fourth-level Xuanxin Curse.

In addition to all other attributes being doubled, Shen Bai also gained an invulnerability attribute.

The so-called invulnerability is, in simple terms, actually an attribute specifically aimed at weirdness, just like the magic-breaking attribute of the Blood Sword Dance.

To put it simply, if Shen Bai uses the Xuanxin Curse and blesses himself with it, the attribute of invulnerability can give Shen Bai a certain degree of protection against weirdness.

Generally speaking, this attribute is very useful. After all, Shen Bai will have to deal with weirdness in the future in order to get rid of evil spirits.

"Then... let's focus on Shadow next."

Shen Bai came back to his senses, and after a little thought, he decided to continue playing Shadow Walk until level four.

Shadow Walk's Shadow Driving can provide a multiple bonus when there is a shadow. For Shen Bai, it is a necessary means to improve actual combat power. Shen Bai chooses to improve it first.

Now, there are only Shadow Walk and God Walk Baili left. After Shen Bai has trained them to level four, he plans to go back and train the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist, making the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist the first to achieve the second qualitative change.

This is Shen Bai's guess. According to the previous qualitative change process, the qualitative change occurred at the second level of perfection, so the next time will be the fourth level of perfection.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai rubbed his hands excitedly and planned to continue working.

At this time, Qin Shuang came out again.

"Haven't you caught any fish yet?" Shen Bai temporarily suppressed his thoughts and asked.

Qin Shuang nodded and said, "He is very patient, but I think he will be exposed soon. I am gradually releasing the information I have found to slowly wear down his patience."

Shen Bai extinguished the stove that was cooking medicine: "By the way, there is actually something I have always wanted to ask you, but I haven't had the time recently, so I haven't asked yet."

Qin Shuang asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

She was curious about everything about Shen Bai, especially his strength.

In Qin Shuang's opinion, Shen Bai's strength is unquestionable. It is rare to see Shen Bai ask her questions, except now.

Because Qin Shuang also knew that Shen Bai lacked a lot of basic knowledge. He was like an old monster who had lived in seclusion in the mountains for hundreds of years. After coming out, he felt as if the world had changed.

Shen Bai organized his words and said, "Before in the tomb, you mentioned the Five Organs Realm. What is that realm?"

According to Shen Bai's current progress, achieving perfection in the Three Treasures realm is just a matter of time.

Shen Bai was very curious about the next realm, and if he knew about it beforehand, he would be able to prepare for it. Qin Shuang looked enlightened upon hearing this.

Although he knew that it was normal for Shen Bai to ask this, Qin Shuang still wanted to complain.

You are so strong, but you still don’t understand what the Five Internal Organs Realm is?
Of course, despite all the complaints, Qin Shuang still started to explain.

"The three treasures correspond to essence, energy and spirit."

"If the Daozang realm is to lay the foundation, then the Three Treasures realm is to build on this foundation and lay a more solid foundation."

"Essence, Qi and Spirit are perfect, but too many things in the human body are fragile, the internal organs being the most vulnerable."

"Humans have five internal organs: the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The Qi realm of the Three Treasures realm focuses on the kidneys, but only on the surface."

"The five internal organs begin with the kidneys. Repeatedly use Qi to temper them until the Qi and blood in the five internal organs are like dragons and the surface is covered with golden Qi."

In the room, only Qin Shuang's voice could be heard.

At this moment, Qin Shuang was like a teacher, and Shen Bai was like a student who was listening attentively.

"The five internal organs are covered with golden light, like gold and jade, and the qi and blood are like dragons."

Shen Bai understood.

People who practice cultivation cultivate both the inside and the outside, and the five internal organs are more like cultivating the inner self.

"Okay, I understand. Let's go out for dinner."

After figuring out the knowledge of the next realm, Shen Bai looked at the sky which was already getting brighter outside and planned to go out for a meal first.

Qin Shuang stretched and walked behind Shen Bai.

She suddenly felt that her life had become regular during her time in Shengyun County.

In the words of the mysterious man in front of me, that is self-discipline.

“This kind of self-discipline seems to be quite good.”

Qin Shuang looked at Shen Bai's back, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised up, forming a beautiful arc.

……

Not far from the street.

The people were still the same as usual, like hardworking and busy ants, each busy with their own affairs.

The whole street is as lively as ever, filled with a fascinating urban atmosphere.

Shen Bai and Qin Shuang sat at the stall, eating and chatting.

"Xiaoxue has arrived safely. That family treated Xiaoxue very well. By the way, why haven't I seen Zhou Qing recently?" Qin Shuang asked.

Shen Bai took a bite of his food and said, "Ever since that incident, he has become even more diligent in preparing for the Tianjiansi assessment."

"I know Lao Zhou well. He wants to change a lot, and he wants to start with the Tianjian Division."

Qin Shuang nodded, his large, distinct black and white eyes moving slightly. "Although the dynasty is in turmoil, the Tianjian Division has not changed its original intention. It's just that the current Tianjian Division, like His Majesty today, has many things that are beyond their capabilities."

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse." Shen Bai said, "The current Tianjiansi still has a deterrent effect within the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Qin Shuang nodded and lowered his head to eat.

Although she comes to this restaurant often, Qin Shuang never gets tired of eating there. When chatting with Shen Bai, she doesn't have to be as serious as Jian Tiansi, which makes her feel very relaxed.

The two chatted for a while and finished their food.

Shen Bai stood up, called the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and prepared to take Qin Shuang back to the pawnshop.

He also planned to continue to improve his proficiency in Shadow Walk, so he didn't waste any time.

At this moment, footsteps were heard on the street.

Shen Bai and Qin Shuang looked at each other and looked towards the source of the sound.

Not far away, several civilians were lying on the ground, twitching, their eyes staring like dead fish, and white foam overflowing from the corners of their mouths.

"Come quickly, they seem to be dying." Several people shouted loudly.

When the shouts of several people rang out on the street, it was like a stone thrown into calm water, immediately stirring up countless waves.

Many people ran over to watch, and the crowd was so dense that it was like a crowded city.

Shen Bai and Qin Shuang had already noticed something was wrong before the crowd gathered around them. After looking at each other, they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Weird."

The two of them came up with the same idea at the same time.

Although those civilians fainted on the ground and twitched continuously as if they had epilepsy, they exuded a cold aura as cold as ice.

"This is a strange smell."

Shen Bai had dealt with strange things many times, and it was as simple as eating. He could easily see the difference.

After a brief discussion between the two, Shen Bai paid the bill and walked towards the crowd.

Although the crowd was surrounded in three layers, when they saw Shen Bai coming, they subconsciously made way for him like ice meeting fire.

People like to watch the fun, but that doesn't mean they really want to get out of the way.

The main reason was that Shen Bai had a terrifying aura, like a flower of death that no one could get close to, making them afraid to approach easily.

After coming closer, Shen Bai took a look and found that the cold aura around these people was gradually becoming thicker.

Qin Shuang was also observing. After a while, he said, "We can't find the source. They don't seem to have any strange signs. What's going on?"

Although there was a strange aura emanating from his body, there were no signs of anything, which made Qin Shuang feel a little strange.

"I can't see the specific situation, but it doesn't prevent us from saving people first." Shen Bai said.

The vital signs of these civilians are gradually fading, and the amplitude of their convulsions is also weakening.

If this continues, in less than a stick of incense, they will be completely reduced to corpses on the ground, and even Hua Tuo will not be able to save them.

Qin Shuang looked around, then came over and whispered, "I'm not good at treatment, otherwise I'll ask someone from the government office to come and take a look."

In Fenglin Province, those who were mysteriously injured were usually treated by disciples from Baiyi Valley.

The people from the Tianshisi were good at fighting, killing, and inspecting officials, but when it came to healing and saving lives, they were somewhat stretched.

"People from the government office will definitely come, but we can't wait for them now."

Shen Bai glanced around and spoke slowly: "Everyone, this is a strange thing. If you don't want trouble to burn you like fire, you'd better not look at it any more."

This simple sentence, coupled with Shen Bai's indifferent expression and calm eyes, made everyone feel as if they were looking directly at a mountain.

The people who usually like to watch the excitement didn't know what was going on and subconsciously left quietly.

The originally bustling streets were completely cleared of people in three layers upon three layers, but in an instant they disappeared.

At this time, the several people lying on the ground had gradually stopped twitching, but their faces had turned from pale to dark blue.

Qin Shuang was very curious about what methods Shen Bai would use to treat the disease.

She believed that Shen Bai was not only a good fighter, but could also heal these people.

This is a kind of blind trust.

Ever since the tomb, Qin Shuang has had this perfect and blind trust in Shen Bai.

She felt that the man in front of her knew everything and there was absolutely nothing this man couldn't do.

Apart from that meager knowledge, it is almost comprehensive.

Shen Bai ignored Qin Shuang's curious eyes, raised his index finger, and then opened his mouth slightly.

An ancient and mysterious language came out of Shen Bai's mouth.

The ancient scripture was like immortal text that fell from the sky. As Shen Bai recited it, a burst of golden light emerged.

When the golden light fell on these people, they reacted immediately.

The originally dark blue face gradually turned rosy, and the strange aura on the body gradually faded away, just like a big tree with its roots pulled out, collapsing in an instant.

This is the Xuanxin Curse cast by Shen Bai.

The original Xuanxin Mantra only had three properties: clearing the mind and calming the nature, and blessing. Even if it was used on a person, that person would only feel their heart as calm as ice, and would not be entangled by worldly affairs.

But at this moment, after reaching the fourth level, the Xuanxin Curse has an additional attribute of non-invasion.

This attribute specifically restrains weirdness.

When the Xuanxin Mantra was bestowed upon the people, it was like a natural process, and all the strange auras were eliminated without a trace.

"What kind of ability is this?"

Qin Shuang's big eyes were filled with endless curiosity. He moved closer to Shen Bai and poked Shen Bai's waist.

Shen Bai turned his head expressionlessly: "What are you doing? A man's waist is precious, you can't poke it randomly."

Qin Shuang curled her lips: "What kind of ability is this?"

"Didn't your teacher teach you that you will be beaten to death if you ask about other people's abilities?" Shen Bai said.

Qin Shuang said speechlessly: "Okay, anyway, I am like a piece of wood now."

"What looks like a piece of wood?" Shen Bai raised his eyebrows.

Qin Shuang pointed at the people on the ground and said, "Now that I look at you, I feel that whatever happens to you is a very normal thing. Aren't you just a piece of wood?"

The moment the two people communicated, the people on the earth changed again.
