Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

On the scroll, Qiu Niang's name instantly shone with golden light, then flew out of her hand and into the air.

Lin Mofu had a sudden inspiration and hurriedly raised the bellyband in his hand and handed it to the scripture scroll.

He brought the scroll close to the undergarment and sniffed it like a licking dog.

The next moment, a golden light flew out from the scroll and landed directly on the bellyband.

Lin Mo let go, the bodice fell to the ground, and in an instant transformed into a person, exactly like Qiu Niang herself, except that her eyes were dull, empty, and devoid of any spirit.

"Hello," Lin Mo greeted.

Qiu Niang did not react.

"It failed?"

Clearly, the fragments of consciousness are insufficient, and more fragments need to be pieced together.

"Seriously? Even a close-fitting undergarment isn't enough?"

Lin Mo frowned. If they didn't even have enough undergarments, what else could they possibly steal to make up the difference?

The next moment, the scroll transmitted a message, and Lin Mo's gaze froze: "This works too?"

He hurriedly took out the [Heavenly Wolf Blade], which was now only a hilt, as well as the [Purple Gold Heart-Shattering Mace] and the [Sincere Dog Bone Club].

These three magical artifacts all became tainted with Qiu Niang's aura during their battle.

Especially the [Sincere Dog Bone Stick], which Qiu Niang hugged and licked, making it shiny and succulent, with the strongest aroma.

Therefore, it attracts the most fragments of consciousness.

Qiu Niang's name shone brightly on the scroll, and golden light shot out from each of the three magical artifacts onto the puppet in front of them.

next second.

The puppet's bright, clear eyes blinked, no longer dull and empty, but sparkling and full of life.

"Hello," Lin Mo greeted.

"Hello, Lin Mo." Qiu Niang smiled warmly and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"The service was great, much more pleasing to the eye than the real person."

Lin Mo smiled knowingly, sat down on the futon, and then asked, "I want to cultivate immortality. How can I do that?"

Qiu Niang slowly explained, "To cultivate immortality, one must first test one's spiritual root. If one has no spiritual root, one must transform one's spiritual body, gather spiritual energy and refine one's power to cultivate the [acquired wisdom root]. Only after safely passing the [mortal tribulation] can one formally embark on the path of immortality."

"Transformation of spirit body?"

Lin Mo frowned and muttered to himself.

For mortals to cultivate immortality, they must possess spiritual roots.

He already knew this in his heart. When he entered the cave last time, he learned about the importance of spiritual roots from the memories of the tortoise slave.

just.

"What is a spirit?"

Qiu Niang patiently explained, "Mortals cannot cultivate without spiritual roots; to cultivate, one needs a spiritual body."

Thinking of something, Lin Mo asked curiously, "Is a martial artist's physical body a spiritual body?"

Qiu Niang nodded, folded her hands over her lower abdomen, and said with a dignified expression, "Yes, but the process of transforming martial arts into a spiritual body is too slow, and the spiritual body cultivated can only use martial arts supernatural powers and cannot use magic. Therefore, it is rejected by the cultivators of the cave heaven and regarded as a crude cultivation method."

Lin Mo gleaned some crucial information from this: "So, a spirit body is the foundation for mortals to cultivate immortality? I wonder how one is considered to have cultivated a spirit body?"

Qiu Niang held up two slender, jade-like fingers: "First, one must cultivate the ability to project one's spiritual consciousness outward and understand external things."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. He had already cultivated spiritual consciousness, so the first condition had been met.

"Second, by using external spiritual objects, one can absorb their spiritual essence into the body. When the first strand of spiritual power is cultivated within the body, it is considered that one has entered the spiritual realm. Continue to cultivate until one has achieved perfection in the three aspects of being without flaws, imperfections, and impurities."

Lin Mo's brows furrowed instantly.

"That vixen, she was definitely lying to me."

Previously, as a male prostitute, Lin Mo was filled with lust and used his spiritual energy to cultivate his spiritual consciousness. Qiu Niang herself never mentioned anything about cultivating her spiritual body.

This is clearly a hidden trick.

"Tell me, why didn't you mention spiritual cultivation before, and instead had me directly absorb the essence of the most beautiful woman and sever my corpse-refining [acquired wisdom root]?"

Qiu Niang looked at Lin Mo in confusion: "What did you say? I don't quite understand. When did I tell you to go and pluck the most beautiful courtesan?"

"You're still pretending to be confused with me... no, I'm the one who's confused."

Lin Mo glared at Qiu Niang's puppet with annoyance, then suddenly realized something, gave a self-deprecating smile, reached out and removed the [Thousand-Faced Human Skin] from its face, restoring its original appearance.

"It was you!"

Qiu Niang looked at Lin Mo in front of her, slightly taken aback.

Her expression then returned to normal, and she calmly explained, "The turtle slaves of Qunyu Pavilion are all consumables used to cultivate corpses."

"Consumables?"

Lin Mo was moved and pressed for an answer: "What do you mean?"

Qiu Niang slowly explained: "Cultivating immortality requires spiritual roots. Those without spiritual roots need to cultivate them. The 'True Chapter of the Creation of the Six Desires' says, 'The six desires are the foundation. First indulge them, then control them. Refining desires is refining the three corpses. Control the tide of desires to nourish the dantian. A single thought of sinking into depravity transforms into a heavenly demon. Holding onto one's original heart nurtures the root of wisdom.' Mortals who wish to cultivate spiritual roots must sever the three corpses and refine them into one to obtain the 'acquired root of wisdom.'"

Lin Mo looked at her, puzzled: "I know that, but how did pimps become consumables?"

Qiu Niang continued to explain, "The Three Corpses are divided into upper, middle, and lower, representing the ruler's desires, greed, and lust. Once these three are severed, a person will have no emotions left, no desires, and will take a detached view of the cycle of life and death. Why then would one pursue immortality?"

Holy crap!

Lin Mo couldn't help but swear; he understood completely.

For mortals to cultivate immortality, they must sever their three corpses.

However, the Three Corpses govern all human desires.

If the three corpses are severed, then the person will become invincible without desires.

When a person loses their desires, they will completely lose their pursuit.

People without ambition would never think of cultivating immortality or relentlessly striving for eternal life.

Therefore, if you want to cultivate immortality, you must sever the three corpses. But once you sever the three corpses, you will no longer be driven by desires and will no longer pursue immortality.

This is a vicious cycle.

To break the vicious cycle, the cultivators must have come up with ingenious and clever methods.

"Qiu Niang, what's going on with the supplies?"

Qiu Niang looked at Lin Mo and slowly revealed the truth: "I severed my spiritual consciousness, stored it in a corpse for nourishment, created three corpse puppets, separated the three corpses, fused them together, and perfected my wisdom. They were then incorporated into my body to help me cultivate immortality."

Rumble!

Lin Mo felt as if he had been struck by lightning; all his previous doubts suddenly became clear.

Simply put, cultivators fear that if they sever their three corpses, they will become without desires and will no longer pursue immortality.

He then devised the "Severing Desires and Placing Corpses" method.

He severed his own three desires and stored them in three corpse puppets using a secret method.

These three corpse puppets represent Peng Ju (Upper Corpse), Peng Zhi (Middle Corpse), and Peng Jiao (Lower Corpse).

Once the three corpse puppets are fully formed, they can be fused together to form a [Postnatal Wisdom Root], which can then be incorporated into one's dantian.

In this way, his three corpse desires were preserved, and he also possessed the spiritual roots and aptitude for cultivating immortality.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Previously, when Lin Mo became a pimp, Qiu Niang offered herself to the courtesan, allowing him to use her sexual energy to help him cultivate spiritual consciousness, all in order to refine him into a vessel puppet capable of containing Shi Pengjiao.

Because a corpse puppet must first accumulate the desires of one of the three corpses, and at the same time cultivate spiritual consciousness, in order to nurture a qualified vessel.

"Now that everything is clear, no wonder Qiu Niang was so ruthless and betrayed Qian Manhe."

At this point, Lin Mo suddenly realized what was going on.

This time, simulating the identity of the Medicine Gourd, his appetite has greatly increased, like a glutton, as if his stomach is never full. That is because he has been refined into a vessel for the Corpse Peng.

The perfect corpse puppet that Qian Manhe created by exhausting his family's wealth must be extremely valuable.

Qiu Niang's request for Qian Manhe to cleanse the evil spirits from Qunyu Pavilion was essentially a test of her abilities!

After inspecting the goods, Qiu Niang was very satisfied with their quality. She immediately killed the thief and stole the goods to make a profit.

However, after realizing she was still conscious, she changed her mind and decided to adopt the identity of a spy to gain greater benefits from the Three Immortals Sect.

Thinking about this, Lin Mo had doubts.

"Qiu Niang, you're not just the madam of Qunyu Pavilion, are you? What's your status within the Three Immortals Sect?"
