Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 648 Nonsense (a bit stuck, first make sure I have full attendance, still writing)

Then I will protect you.

Generally speaking, if this sentence is asked in the form of a question, it will most likely be followed by conditions for exchange.

Therefore, Shen Yi was not too excited. He looked back at the beautiful woman and waited quietly for what would happen next.

It was bizarre enough that I, a casual cultivator from Hongze, was charged with the crime of killing an immortal.

It is so absurd that a disciple of the immortal family who has the great immortal master as his master has joined an organization like the Demon Slaying Bureau.

Shen Yi was just too lazy to ask, that didn't mean he was stupid.

What happened to this woman might be more troublesome than what happened to himself.

But, he really wanted the other party's Taixu Dao Fruit.

When he broke through the fifth level and manifested his true form of Arhat by relying on the Dragon-Tiger Fruition, Shen Yi's perception had reached an extremely powerful level.

But what surprised him the most was that no matter when he was at the seventh level or when he transformed into an arhat, his feeling about Ye Lan was exactly the same: danger.

Neither increase nor decrease.

The most terrifying thing is no change.

Shen Yi could only attribute it to Daoguo.

"..."

Ye Lan carefully observed the changes in Shen Yi's expression and was speechless for a moment.

The decision she made with great difficulty sounded calm to the other party, as if she was just asking him whether he had eaten.

No, he is still a young man after all. How come he doesn’t look young at all?

But then again, if Shen Yi was really excited, as if he thought he could join the Daluo Immortal Venerable's sect, she would feel a little regretful.

After all, this isn't really a good thing.

“No matter my strength or status in the Divine Dynasty, I can’t protect you from the hands of the Immortal Court.”

Ye Lan shook his head. After entering the fifth level, he was already qualified to have a glimpse of the true meaning of the rotation of heaven and earth. However, in the eyes of the Immortal Court, he was just barely entering the door.

If you want to challenge the laws of the Immortal Court with this little strength, a few righteous gods can suppress you.

As for the identity of the Divine Dynasty, it is not in the same system as the Immortal Court at all. If it is an important official who can speak in front of the Human Emperor, the Imperial Court can negotiate with the Immortal Court on his behalf.

But it is obvious that the titled general of the Demon Slaying Division has not reached this point yet.

"Besides, apart from the Immortal Court..."

Ye Lan glanced at Shen Yi. Even though he had become an Arhat, the Bodhi Sect was still unwilling to protect him.

Could this fruit be obtained through good means?
"Bodhi Sect and the Three Immortal Sects have different paths but the same goal. The Arhat level is usually closely related to the Venerable level. I guess a certain Bodhisattva is already trying to figure out where this extra Arhat like you came from."

And the difference between Bodhi Sect and Three Immortal Sect is that...

The masters in the Three Immortal Sects like to branch out and expand their influence. Perhaps they themselves cannot even remember how many immortal sects they have under their command, such as the Jade Dragon Sect. However, the Bodhi Sect will never let outsiders know about the Great Sutra of Fruition.

"It's impossible to hide it. The best solution is to make them stop thinking about you."

"The Great Luo Immortal of the Three Immortal Sect, the third generation disciple of the Shenxu Patriarch, is the only identity I can give you."

At this point, Ye Lan raised her eyes again and looked back: "But you should have guessed it, yes, there is a problem with my lineage."

There was a trace of emotion in her clear eyes: "Master and his fellow disciples used to have a total of six people, but they experienced a disaster, and now I am the only one left. I have already withered away, so all I can give is a status."

"Will that disaster implicate me?" Shen Yi thought for a moment and asked seriously.

"I--" Ye Lan just fell into reminiscence, but she didn't expect that the other party had been thinking about it for a long time and was actually worried about this issue.

She couldn't help but clench her palms. No, if she remembered correctly, the other party had just killed two immortal generals' mounts. Who was implicating whom?

Ye Lan gritted her teeth: "No!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi simply cupped his hands and said, "Hello, Senior Sister Ye."

"But..." Ye Lan sighed slightly. Before she could finish her words, she was surprised to see the young man in front of her withdraw his bow. His reaction was so quick that he did not hesitate at all.

"General, please speak." Shen Yi stood with his hands hanging down.

Shenzhou is not like Hongze. There are countless strong people and immortal giants everywhere. We cannot be careless.

Ye Lan was almost laughing out of anger again. Why didn't she notice that this boy had such a greasy head before? But it was okay. Being cautious made people feel more at ease. "I want to say that even if you join the Three Immortals Sect, you should not use your Arhat Golden Body casually. If you do use it, remember to be clean."

"rest assured."

Shen Yi nodded his chin slightly. He was very good at this kind of thing.

"Go back. When I have time, I will take you to the initiation ceremony. Meng Xiuwen and Jing'er still have a lot of things to do. Don't wander around when you go back. I'll trouble you to take care of Jianyang Mansion for the time being." Ye Lan waved his hand to remove the soundproofing spell and looked up at the sky.

The Seven Treasures Bodhisattva’s preaching has not yet ended.

Since Shen Yi has such a high level of cultivation, there is no need to ask her to escort him.

In an instant, the Patriarch Ye Lan transformed back into the identity of General Yan Lan and turned into a stream of light and flew towards Heshan.

"..."

Shen Yi watched the other person leave and slowly retracted his gaze.

Looking at the words appearing on the panel, he rubbed his brows helplessly.

[Killed the sixth-rank golden-maned lion-tiger, with a total lifespan of twenty-four kalpas, and the remaining lifespan is six kalpas, absorbed completely]

[Killed the sixth-rank purple-bearded white dragon, with a total lifespan of twenty-one kalpas, and the remaining lifespan is nineteen kalpas, absorbed completely]

[Remaining demon lifespan: 108 kalpas]

Most of the tremendous demon life that was brought out from Hongze was consumed in a short period of time.

The speed of consumption was so fast that Shen Yi, who had just had a few good days, felt uneasy again.

The quality of the monsters outside is indeed high. Their remaining lifespan is often several kalpas, some even nearly twenty kalpas like Zi Ling. But each of them has an owner, so it is really troublesome to kill them.

Shen Yi had no plan to refine Zi Ling and the lion-tiger beast into stone-suppressing stones and send them to heaven as spies.

Back in Hongze, even the Crown Prince of Nanlong Palace could see that Zhenshi had no breath of life, let alone being a true immortal general.

The Blue and White Lady, which plays a similar role, is different from them.

The other party did not use the body of stone, but the golden body that he had shaped bit by bit with the power of incense and vows. The Yin Spirit was born from the inner elixir, and he just used the demon soul to control it.

If I rashly send Zi Ling back, there would be the risk of alerting the enemy.

Originally, they could have delayed the battle for a while. If the immortal general saw that his mount had turned into a puppet and returned, he might immediately dispatch troops to attack the mortal world under such provocation.

Shen Yi had other uses for these two demon souls and corpses.

Although Ye Lan agreed to let him join her apprenticeship, it was obvious that she didn't really want to teach him anything. She just gave him a cover-up identity for the sake of her colleague.

Of course, one still has to strive for the Taixu Dao Fruit after entering the door.

But Shen Yi would not place all his hopes on someone he had only met a few times. He had not yet fully understood the Dragon and Tiger Sutra.

Previously, he had to take emergency measures and borrow the help of Ke Shisan and An Yi to successfully obtain the Arhat fruit position.

But these two hall masters are only at the Hedao realm after all.

Borrowing the aura of the two, after eighty-one disasters, he successfully imbued the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with the flavor of dragon and tiger, and turned into that amber fruit. But what about dragon and tiger?

Shen Yi clearly remembered that when the two Bodhi sect disciples came to kill him, the golden statue in the illusion hall had a dragon and a tiger tied to its body by chains.

Those two monks must have seen other dragons, tigers and arhats, and they were not fictional.

Why don’t I have it?

Now that he had obtained the corpses of the sixth-grade dragon and tiger demons, Shen Yi began to think about refining the dragon-tiger elixir that he had been lacking before.

Forget it, let’s go back to Jianyang Prefecture first.

He looked up at the sky and saw that the imperial aura was still turbulent, indicating that the court had not stopped yet.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Don't think that you are a disciple of Bodhi Sect and be punished.

Shen Yi gathered his thoughts, rushed out, and headed straight towards Jianyang Prefecture with a group of old friends from Hongze!

……

Jianyang Prefecture, a secluded house in the west of the city.

This house is so neat in both size and appearance, without any outstanding features, but there is nothing wrong with it either.

Just like the identity of the Demon Slayer, he insists on living in seclusion and never attracting the attention of others.

Led by several officials, Shen Yi slowly stepped into the house.

The government office had arranged this place, which meant that the process for him to take office as the demon-slaying official had finally been completed. From now on, he was truly an imperial official.

Shen Yi didn't have any requirements for his accommodation and was quite satisfied with the quietness of this place.

Wait until several officials bowed and left.

He randomly chose a courtyard, sat under a big tree, and first summoned the Lingguang Rat Demon to guard the place.

Only then did he take out parts of the corpses of Zi Ling and Shihu, and began to try to refine the Dragon-Tiger Pill according to the contents of the first volume of the Dragon-Tiger Sutra.

Although it is called alchemy, it does not require a furnace.

According to the description in the great sutras, this process is called salvation.

The traveler subdued the evil demon, and although he took its life, he could not erase the demon's sins. He had to use the advanced methods of the religion to transform the demon into the purest energy again to bless the traveler's body. The traveler then had to go through the hardships of the world and bear the consequences of his sins.

Shen Yi didn't have the time to bear Zi Ling's sins, he just wanted her essence.

Now that I have reached the Arhat realm, doing this task has become much simpler and easier.

He slightly extended his palm, and golden light gushed out like a river, grabbing the body of the purple-bearded white dragon, wrapping it up, and began to refine it.

Under the crushing of the realm, in less than half a month, the two huge corpses were melted by the golden light in batches.

In the end, only two fist-sized glass beads were left, hanging in the courtyard with a hint of golden light.

"Is this a pill?"

Shen Yi pondered for a moment. Why was it different from what was said in the scriptures? Shouldn't it be the size of a broad bean?

Perhaps it’s because the realms of these two monsters are too high?
He shook his head and summoned it over. He opened the panel and poured the vast demon life into the Dragon and Tiger Sutra which had already reached perfection. At the same time, he opened his mouth, and the dragon pill and tiger pill turned into liquid and flowed into his mouth.

[In the first calamity, you swallowed the Dragon-Tiger Pill and felt the familiar aura of the dragon and tiger again...]

Looking at the words appearing on the panel, Shen Yi frowned slightly, a little confused.

Still no dragon and tiger?
Could it be because there is no soul?

Shen Yi had long been accustomed to problems in his practice, but he had never expected that the true Dharma of the Bodhi Religion would also go wrong.

But it doesn’t matter, just check it slowly and you will always find the cause.

Thinking of this, he simply condensed the essence of the demon and began to reshape the demon soul.

Zi Ling was fine, as she only needed two tribulations, but the lion-tiger beast needed a full eighteen tribulations.

"There's always going to be problems with such a big difference."

Shen Yi recalled Ye Lan again. Even if the other party's Dao Fruit ranked in the top ten and his own was ranked thirty-first, there shouldn't be such a big gap.

In addition to the power of the Taixu Dao Fruit, there was a high probability that there was something wrong with his own Dragon and Tiger Fruit position.

I have spent eighty-one kalpas, I cannot just pick a defective product.

"call."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and with all his heart, he created two demon souls and sent them directly into the panel.

[In the second calamity, you look at Zi Ling and the lion-tiger beast beside you, and recall the golden statue of the dragon-tiger arhat you saw at the beginning. Without hesitation, you use your magic power as a chain to tie the two demon souls to yourself, and walk the world together]

"No, what is the master doing?"

In an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard, the spiritual rat demon was guarding the surroundings while looking at Shen Yi curiously.

The other party had clearly already achieved the Dragon and Tiger Fruition, and had even manifested a golden body before. How come he was refining the Dragon Pill and the Tiger Pill again? Could it be that he had encountered some problems in his practice?
Unfortunately, these travelers have never seen the real Dragon-Tiger Arhat, so it is impossible for them to help the other party.

"Tsk, I don't understand, and I don't dare to ask."

The smart mouse withdrew its gaze and stared at its surroundings intently.

"My Lord! I know I was wrong!"

"Little demon knows his crime!"

Shen Yi closed his eyes and concentrated, the howling of the lion-tiger beast echoing in his mind. He, who had once reached the fifth level, felt the same way. As for Zi Ling, she couldn't even utter a complete sentence, and could only scream miserably.

The reason why both of them are so painful.

It was because Shen Yi discovered something very interesting.

[In the third calamity, you travel the world with dragons and tigers as your companions, and finally feel less lonely. However, the number of calamities that your body can bear has reached its limit. Without enlightenment, it would be difficult to improve yourself simply by practicing asceticism. But you suddenly discover that the two demon souls next to you seem to be able to bear the calamities for you...]

The Dragon-Tiger Fruition Stage, which possesses the power of eighty-one calamities, is as vast as the ocean, but Shen Yi can clearly feel that his strength has increased by one calamity.

There is a play!

As for what kind of torture the two demon souls will have to endure when facing the calamity without the protection of the Great Sutra, one can get a glimpse of it just from their endless wailing.

"Zi Ling knows she was wrong! She really knows she was wrong!"

"My Lord! There is no dragon or tiger! There is absolutely no dragon or tiger!"

In a short period of time in the outside world, Zi Ling and the lion-tiger beast had already survived two full calamities, a long period of more than 200,000 years.

The original howling has turned into crying.

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows. He had never experienced such an easy deduction.

But you can also see how painful this matter is.

This forced Zhenshi to learn how to lie.

No dragon and tiger?

So what's this upgrade?

Nonsense.
