I can't be a demon.

Chapter 121: Lantern Method for Fishing a Real Dragon
Bibotan alternates between day and night.

As time passed, the number of people seeking refuge in the Sutra Repository increased, mainly the Jinwu Guards who came to the cave later.

They looked at each other in silence, not daring to disturb Shen Lian who was practicing with his eyes closed.

The relic's conversion was silent, and only on the second floor of the pagoda where Shen Lian was in charge could they spend the night in Bibotan peacefully.

The Jinwu Guards couldn't help but feel curious.

Logically speaking, with Shen Lian's strength, even if he didn't climb up to fight for resources, he shouldn't stay in seclusion in the dangerous cave.

They suspected that Shen Lian was practicing a secret technique to resist the relics.

Once the secret technique is mastered, it will be inevitable to climb up. The Jinwu guards can't help but feel tempted to follow Shen Lian and take advantage of the situation.

Even if you can only drink some soup, it is better than going back empty-handed.

maybe……

Maybe there is a chance to enter the cave.

Different from the opinion of Li Shi, the Jinwu Guards generally believe that Shen Lian is a cave alchemist, but they are not sure which immortal master the latter is studying under.

Swish.

The vertical eye between Shen Lian’s eyebrows opened, and a stream of light emanated from the Niwan Palace.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately closed their five senses. Half a breath later, Bibotan fell into darkness again, and the glow of the relic enveloped the cave.

Even though the rumors about Shen Lian being the reincarnation of an immortal Buddha were a bit exaggerated.

But any Jinwu Guard who has witnessed Shen Lian absorbing the rosy glow to practice cultivation would inevitably have doubts in his mind, perhaps he is really related to immortals and Buddhas?
"The Lantern Technique is already on the verge of perfection. I always feel that without the support of external forces, no one can reach the level of perfection."

Shen Lian discovered that the three souls and seven spirits in the Niwan Palace actually had a burning sensation.

Facts have proved that the Lantern Method is indeed a martial art with obvious advantages and disadvantages. Once an ordinary strongman achieves even a small degree of success, he will be close to death.

He recalled the information from the appraisal. The head of the Lantern Warrior was actually a material for refining equipment. It was obvious that the North Sea Dragon Palace treated the Warrior as a consumable.

Shen Lian took several gulps of medicinal wine. The nutrients from the soul-nourishing elixir nourished his soul, intensifying the stream of light that flowed into his vertical eyes.

The light may damage the soul, but it does have the effect of tempering the skull.

"Haha, I already have some Tang Monk meat on me, but now even my head is worth a lot of money. It's unbelievable..."

Shen Lian reached the bottleneck of the Lantern Method. The halo behind his head became even brighter, and the patterns on the surface of the inner elixir became even more mysterious.

There was a mixture of light and darkness all around him, and the halo seemed to be robbing the light.

"coming."

【Lantern Method (Dacheng)】

【Lighting the inner elixir (Great Success)】

The night passed in Bibotan. After everyone recovered their five senses, they stared at Shen Lian in fear. The latter's vision was so powerful.

Even though Shen Lian was very close to them, he still had the illusion that there was a difference between immortal and mortal.

"If I'm not careful, I'll end up like a light bulb."

Shen Lian sighed.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the days in Bibotan are becoming shorter. It’s very likely caused by the Taoist priests from the Dragon Palace causing trouble in the upper floors of the pagoda.

"Speaking of who invented the Lantern Technique, 80% of the power is used to emit light, and the cultivation that can be used is very limited."

"kindness?"

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the shadow at the entrance of the stairs.

At the moment when the Lantern Technique was promoted to perfection, the sixth consciousness sensed a flash of surveillance, which seemed to be from the upper levels of the pagoda.

"Lee Soon!"

"exist."

Li Shun didn't need Shen Lian to remind him, more than a dozen pairs of eyes swept across the Sutra Library.

The other Jinwu Guards were shocked and confused. What could have caused such a big reaction from Shen Lian? Could it be that some disaster was about to happen in Bibotan?
"Young Master, there is no remaining demonic aura."

"Maybe I'm worrying too much."

Shen Lian shook his head slightly. Although Li Shun's realm was only at the fifth level of the innate realm, and his pupil technique was not as good as the vision blessed by the sixth consciousness, he was more comprehensive in detecting the aura of demons.

"The Lantern Method...I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems."

Shen Lian took out the Buddhist scriptures and used his wisdom eye.

【Lantern Method】

[Created by the North Sea Mermaids, the Niwan Palace is used as a container for the Yuandan, and the light is used to dispel darkness and hunt for food.]

Shen Lian had looked up information about the Lantern Method before, and didn't think there was anything unusual at the time.

See now.

"Hunting for food, why does it feel like the Lantern Technique is turning me into bait? Could it be that the mermaids thousands of years ago used the Lantern Technique to lure the monsters into the bait?"

Shen Lian suppressed all distracting thoughts and continued to circulate the Great Circulation of the Lighting Inner Dan.

"The Lantern Method must be completed as soon as possible, and then synthesized as soon as possible. Damn it, if it is really dangerous, we should immediately retreat to Yanliang Town."

Advancing to the fourth level is something I can only consider later, after all, life is more important.

Shen Lian came to the window, and under the incredulous gaze of everyone, he opened a crack and waited for the arrival of the brilliant night sky.

"The Soul-Nourishing Pill Fruit has sufficient medicinal power, so it's okay to face the glow for a short period of time."

.........

The eleventh floor of the pagoda fell into deathly silence.

The school of fish that had been extremely active before was no longer moving. Ba Boerben was caught in the evil wind and stood in the air, his breath becoming faint.

The dragon-whisker black fish transformed by Ao Guangxing took the opportunity to come to the entrance of the stairs.

The stairs leading to the twelfth floor were completely dark. One could faintly hear the sound of flowing water and the clattering of footsteps. "Something is wrong with Bibotan!!"

Ao Guangxing's face was solemn. As a Dragon Palace alchemist who had reached the seventh level of the Dao Infant Realm, his spiritual sense was extremely keen and he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Master, the demons in Bi Bo Tan should all be staying on the same level..."

Before Ao Su could finish his words, he saw wet footprints on the stairs moving from far to near, and a twisted and terrifying dragon shadow was looming.

The dragon shadow barely takes human form, but has the characteristics of a real dragon.

She stood on the steps and watched.

Ba Boer Ben took several steps back, muttering to himself in fear: "Lady Long Po, spare my life, I didn't know that Lady Long Po had woken up!!"

"Luang Po Lady? It's the Wansheng Luang Po."

Ao Guangxing sucked in a breath of cold air. The All-Saints Dragon Po had practiced Taoism for at least five thousand years. If she rioted in the pagoda, he might not be able to stop her.

Ba Boerben dived into the mud without hesitation, fearing that the All-Holy Dragon Lady would notice him.

Ao Guangxing noticed that the greed in Wansheng Luang Po's eyes was beyond words. He took a few steps forward every few moments, trying to break free from the pagoda.

"Master, should we retreat to the tenth floor?"

"Shut up!"

While hesitating, Ao Guangxing transformed into a strange dragon over ten meters long.

As alchemists of the Dragon Palace, their true forms are in the shape of dragons, but they are different from the real dragons recorded in historical books and their appearances are extremely deformed.

Ao Guangxing's head was bloated, his eyes were lifeless, and his body was thin and shriveled, characteristics that seemed to be manifestations of his adaptation to the deep sea.

Roar!
"The Lantern Method?!"

Ao Guangxing's eyes turned red, and his soul felt an indescribable temptation, as if he was a fresh fish in a fish pond, ready to be caught by anyone.

He quickly restored his dragon head and human form, and looked at Ao Su coldly, "Ao Su, didn't I ask you to deal with the meat bait? Huh?"

Ao Su's bones made sounds of being unable to bear the weight, and his flesh and blood were squeezed into a ball. Ao Guangxing's murderous intent was almost tangible.

"Master...master."

"Ao Su! Once the Lantern Technique is practiced to a high level, it will arouse the appetite of our True Dragons. Don't you know that?!!"

Ao Guangxing felt extremely humiliated and his words were squeezed out through his teeth.

The Lantern Method is obviously just a crude method of practicing with meat bait, but it has the effect of fishing for dragons. It is simply... the opposite of Tiangang!

dong dong dong.

The Halloween Luang Po tried madly to get out of the stairs and banged on the stairs frantically.

Ao Su quickly explained: "Master, you saw it with your own eyes. The baits all died during the exploration. They were all dead before the sixth floor."

boom.

Ao Guangxing released his magic power, and Ao Su collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

"It should be that some of the baits survived by chance, and the Lantern Technique was unexpectedly advanced to great perfection in Bibotan. No, it may be perfection."

Ao Su hesitated and said, "Master, could it be the Sutra Repository? It shouldn't be difficult for someone with a keen eye to obtain the Lantern Technique from the corpse..."

"impossible."

"In just a few days, even if the Jinwu Guards obtained the Lantern Technique, it would be impossible for them to practice it to such a high level. Besides, why would they practice the useless Lantern Technique?"

Ao Guangxing's face was solemn. The sudden riot of the All Saints Dragon Po was completely unexpected. If the demon could not be quelled, it would be of no avail even if more than a thousand mortals shared the glow.

"Ao Su, go back to the bottom floor and clear out everyone if necessary."

"We can't let the Lantern Technique leak out. It's the secret of our North Sea Dragon Palace. Anyone who dares to practice it without permission will be cut into pieces!"

Ao Guangxing narrowed his eyes.

The Lantern Method is very special in the North Sea Dragon Palace. On the one hand, they must rely on the light of the Lantern Master to survive. On the other hand, the Lantern Method is unspeakably dangerous.

"Okay, Master. I'll kill that bait."

Ao Su also transformed into a human body with a dragon head, his eyes full of coldness.

"Master, is there any news about Senior Brother Ao Jiang?"

Ao Guangxing's expression relaxed, and he then opened his mouth. Densely packed fish eggs came into Ao Su's sight. However, inside the fish eggs were mortals who had been shrunk hundreds of times and were in a coma.

"He has already passed on a thousand mortals as his teachers through the secret technique, but because of the relationship with the Wansheng Luang Po, I asked him to capture another thousand people."

"I hope everything goes well, brother."

"I hope that the large-scale disappearance of ordinary people will not lead to the emergence of the [White Bone Cave]."

After Ao Su's injuries stabilized, he mobilized his magical powers to escape into the downward stairs.

Ao Guangxing was on guard against the All Saints Dragon Lady, and at the same time secretly set up a magic circle on the eleventh floor, intending to release the mortal in half a month.

"Ao Jiang..."

Ao Guangxing raised his eyebrows, and his spiritual consciousness suddenly lost contact with Ao Jiang.

"Ao Jiang's aura was last seen in the Yanliang Town area. Did he encounter an accident? Even if he accidentally entered the cave, it would not be difficult for him to escape unscathed with Ao Jiang's cultivation level of the sixth level of Yuan Dan."

"It should be because of Bibotan."

Ao Guangxing felt that the three words Yanliang Town were inexplicably familiar, and then he realized that the Wanhu in the court had always mentioned it.

The Jinwu Guards wanted to calm Yan Liang down and take him to the cave.

However, apart from the signs of a dormant great demon, Yanliang Town hardly meets all the characteristics of a cave dwelling, so the court was ambiguous.

"Yanliang Town is located in an area covered by underground rivers, so it is almost a must-pass route."

Ao Guangxing snorted coldly.

"Just a mortal. If Yanliang Town is really a cave, and we only take away some mortals, would we offend the North Sea Dragon Palace for this?"
