I can't be a demon.

Chapter 145: Evil Magical Weapons

Shen Lian looked at the Corpse Demon's scabbard carefully.

The previous forty corpse fruits were used to nourish the magic weapon, but unfortunately they only made the material tougher and there was no sign of them nourishing any spirituality.

However, the corpse poison attached to the blade light of the corpse demon's scabbard has indeed been enhanced.

"The Corpse Demon Scabbard creature may be promoted to a magic weapon earlier than the Dragon Fish Robe. After all, when the magic weapon nourishes the bone blade, the bone blade can also feed back some nutrients to the Corpse Demon Scabbard."

Now that the number of corpse fruits has increased tenfold, Shen Lian no longer believes that the corpse demon scabbard still cannot give birth to a shallow spirituality.

After Shen Lian processed the corpse fruit, he threw the pulp into the ghost gourd and ground the core into powder.

He carefully applied the powder on the surface of the scabbard and at the same time used the Purple Mansion Tempering Technique. The weapon absorbed the powder eagerly.

The most obvious feature is that there are spots of corpse spots spreading on the scabbard.

“Too weird.”

"The Corpse Demon Scabbard was made from the index finger of Madam White Bone. Why do I always feel like it will come back to life at any time?"

Facts have proved that although Mrs. White Bone may look stunningly beautiful, her true form as a demon is probably even more terrifying than her own white-bone evil dragon.

After Shen Lian rested for half a month, all the abnormalities on his surface finally disappeared.

"The foundation has been mostly healed, and it's about time to put the three transformations of the pile method on the agenda, otherwise the six months in the Nujiang case may not be enough."

"Hehehe, retreat means you have to multitask."

The white bone spine on Shen Lian's back extended out, with a remaining ghost eye attached to the end.

He flipped through the bony spine, flipping through the volumes of inner alchemy secrets, and found that there were indeed two special volumes of inner alchemy among them.

"It should be the early internal alchemy. At that time, there were no big demons in the Tang Dynasty, and most of the Taoists practiced in the deep mountains and forests."

“It’s a good opportunity to learn from each other’s strengths and make up for each other’s weaknesses.”

[Sword Pill Inner Alchemy Secret Book]

[Created by the Taoist priest of Qingcheng, once mastered, one can breed the inner elixir of the sword pill in the sixth level of Yuandan. The inner elixir of the sword pill is as hard as iron, and the spiritual consciousness can be released to fight the enemy. The inner elixir has great power and is very powerful. ]

The sword pill inner elixir does not mean that the inner elixir turns into a flying sword, but that after the inner elixir is used flexibly, it can be controlled as if a brilliant sword light is spitting out from the mouth.

Thousands of years ago, it was definitely the top practice method in the world.

As for the present time when demons are rampant.

Even Shen Lian did not dare to release his inner elixir to fight against demons. Once the inner elixir was contaminated with the demon's aura, his entire foundation would be destroyed.

"The sword pill inner elixir is indeed unable to keep up with the changes of the times, but for the transformation of the pile method, the help of synthesis is even greater than that of ten inner elixir techniques."

The second door is called [Out-of-Body Inner Alchemy].

[Secret Book of Out-of-Body Inner Alchemy]

[Created by Li Chengtian, once mastered, one can breed the inner elixir in the sixth level of Yuandan. The inner elixir can protect the soul from leaving the body. The inner elixir is immortal, the soul is immortal, and the spirit can travel hundreds of miles.]

The Out-of-Body Inner Elixir allows the cultivator's soul to leave the body as if traveling through the eight realms of the divine, but its problem is the same as that of the Sword Pill Inner Elixir, which is that it cannot resist the aura of demons.

The souls of the Eight Realms are very resilient. Ma Wanhu can travel freely in Cangshan Town where the White Bone Cave descended, and managed to save half of his life.

The inner elixir may not last more than ten breaths, as the erosion of the demonic aura is very terrifying.

"I just mentioned that I wanted the ancient inner alchemy technique. Lord Ma was able to find it for me from nowhere. I guess it must have taken a lot of effort."

Shen Lian remembered the rules of practicing Qigong and took out two Dao Infant Seventh Realm pills and threw them into his mouth.

His strong body and his ability to nourish the body with food allow him to digest powerful medicines that are higher than his own level, and the utilization rate of the medicine is almost 99%.

However, the load was also very obvious, and the heart rate quickly reached its peak.

"Come on, if you don't succeed, you'll go crazy."

Shen Lian did not dare to delay. He had already wasted two months recuperating from his injuries. It would take another 20 to 30 days to reach Nujiang River. Time was running out.

Rumble.

The sound of rushing waves came from within the body.

Shen Lian's body temperature soared, and he felt a dry mouth and tongue. Mist surged out of his pores and soon enveloped the courtyard.

Shen Hansheng and others didn't take it seriously at first. After all, Shen Lian's retreat was always like this.

But after Shen Lian mastered the two inner alchemy techniques and continued to practice the inner alchemy techniques, they realized that the strange phenomena caused by the practice could be so powerful that it could affect the weather.

He practiced four kinds of inner alchemy techniques at the same time, and the mist had spread to Hefeng Street.

He also practiced six kinds of inner alchemy techniques, and the mist unknowingly covered two-thirds of the West City District.

The visibility of the water mist was not too high, so it did not affect people's daily lives. However, from time to time, there were martial artists who made a pilgrimage to the vicinity of the pawnshop, wanting to catch a glimpse of Zhong Kui's true appearance.

Seeing this, Shen Lian simply put himself in seclusion in the underground river. He only needed to guide the water flow around him ten meters, and he could still temper the Corpse Demon Scabbard.

"Since the injury has not yet fully recovered, the six inner alchemy techniques are almost the same."

Shen Lian has a second-transformation Hunyuan Inner Elixir in his Dantian, so there is no need to worry about going astray while practicing Inner Alchemy.

There is another benefit to practicing in the underground river, which is to increase the water of the Milky Way.

There are forty-three drops of Tianhe water in Shen Lianzhong's dantian. As his soul carries the weight with ease, at least fifty drops are needed to have a noticeable effect.

Clang.

Shen Lian didn't know how much time had passed as his consciousness mechanically repeated the various steps.

It wasn't until the corpse demon's scabbard began to move unusually that he came to his senses.

Shen Lian scanned the storage space and found that only half a pound of powder from the four hundred corpse fruit cores was left. The corpse demon scabbard finally came to life.

"It seems like there is no difference?"

Shen Lian jumped out of the well and looked at the Corpse Demon's scabbard in the sunlight.

The magic weapon is still made of white bones, because the horizontal sword style requires the accumulation of sword energy, and the sword must be sheathed during the tempering of the Corpse Demon Sheath.

Use your wisdom to identify. [Demon Corpse Scabbard]

[It is made from the left index finger of Mrs. White Bone, and after Shen Hansheng's ghost transformation, it has reached a high level. After the magic weapon is attached to the bone blade, it has a connection with flesh and blood, and the blade light can corrode the aura of demons. ]

"Huh? Has the Corpse Demon Scabbard become an appendage of the Bone Blade?"

Shen Lian then discovered that as long as the sword was put back into the sheath, the corpse demon sheath would be blessed by the bone blade and its strength would be greatly increased.

"good."

"Even if it's not unsheathed, it can be used as a giant sword."

"But...what does blood connection mean?"

Shen Lian suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his right arm holding the knife swelled up, with strange spots all over the skin.

"Wuhu."

He didn't expect that the connection between blood and flesh would make the Corpse Demon's scabbard also have flesh and blood, and the bone blade and scabbard were extended at the same time.

Click click click.

Blood and flesh grew on the surface of the scabbard, and a faint stench spread.

When Shen Lian's arm reached two meters, the flesh and blood transformation of the Corpse Demon's scabbard had reached its peak, and the magic weapon turned into a huge index finger.

That's right.

A giant index finger that looked like it had been dead for a long time and was over two meters long.

"..."

The corner of Shen Lian's mouth twitched. He understood that the shape of the Corpse Demon's scabbard after it turned into flesh and blood was closely related to the index finger of Madam White Bone, which was the raw material.

But it is indeed a bit weird. If you pick it up and swing it at someone, well, it seems pretty good.

Shen Lian gave it a try.

Once the bone blade is unsheathed, the corpse demon scabbard loses the ability to turn into flesh and blood, which shows that the magic weapon has indeed become an appendage of the bone blade.

Moreover, the Corpse Demon's scabbard cannot be integrated with the sword.

"It's harmless. It's just a superior magic weapon. It's unrealistic to expect it to be as easy to use as the basic bone blade."

Shen Lian put the bone blade on his waist with satisfaction.

The remaining corpse fruit core powder was not further refined. The Corpse Demon Scabbard had already come to life, so the effect of the powder was naturally greatly reduced.

Shen Lian glanced at the banyan tree. More than two months had passed, and the special fruits were gradually ripening.

He noticed that there were seven Eight Immortals Pill fruits hanging on the branches. Obviously, the roots of the banyan tree did not miss the corpses of Lan Caihe and Han Zhongli.

【Medicine Fairy Fruit】

[Grown from the banyan tree, it contains a trace of the true spirit of Li Tieguai's corpse. The flesh can be consumed to nourish the soul, and the core can be used to refine magic tools. ]

【Yangxian Fruit】

[Grown from the banyan tree, it contains a trace of the true spirit of Han Zhongli's corpse. The flesh can warm the heart after consumption, and the core can be used to refine magic tools. ]

The other eight immortals' elixirs are almost the same, except for the lack of Lu Dongbin represented by Shen Lian, and the organs they nourish are different.

"Hehe, can't seven elixir fruits lead to a magic weapon?"

You know, there are very few magic weapons left in later generations. Shen Lian has only seen Ma Wanhu own one. The alchemists in the seventh level of Daoying all use magic weapons.

Shen Lian licked his lips, peeled off the fruit pulp, and tested the reactions of each magic weapon one by one.

It is clear that the corpses of the Eight Immortals came from the White Bone Cave, but the Corpse Demon Scabbard did not seem to show any spiritual activity after the bone blade was attached.

The dragon fish robe was unusually excited, with the dragon patterns swimming wildly.

Shen Lian hesitated for a few moments, but did not use it on the dragon fish robe.

"The Nujiang case is likely to involve dragon monsters, so upgrading the Dragon Fish Robe to a magic weapon shouldn't be a problem. Then let's go with the Ghost Gourd. After all, medicinal wine is considered a necessity for cultivation."

In addition, Shen Lian remembered that among the treasures of the Eight Immortals, except for Lu Dongbin and Cao Guojiu, the rest were made of plants and wood.

"receive."

A suction force came from the ghost gourd, and seven fruit cores fell into the internal space. Then, the magic weapon began to vibrate uncontrollably.

Shen Lian held the ghost gourd in his hand and could see the medicinal wine boiling.

The ghost gourd underwent all kinds of changes. A pattern of seven immortals crossing the sea appeared on its surface, and mysterious Taoist patterns grew inside and out.

Shen Lian could feel that the area of ​​the internal space was expanding a hundredfold.

The ghost gourd’s spirituality is almost overflowing.

"Eight Immortals' elixir fruits are used to refine different magical instruments. I'm afraid they can all give spirituality to the magical instruments."

Shen Lian was amazed, and then some doubts arose in his mind.

From the effect of the elixir, we can tell that the Eight Immortals already had great magical powers at that time, and their treasures were definitely not ordinary things. Perhaps they just lacked the experience of traveling to the West to be included in the immortal class.

"Are the Eight Immortals really dead? Or... are they hiding somewhere in the mortal world like Gao Cuilan and Wansheng Dragon Girl? Are they just fake bodies in the White Bone Cave?"

Shen Lian sighed with a headache. It was likely that only by going to the White Bone Cave in person could he get a glimpse of the truth from the corpses of the Eight Immortals.

He concentrated on tempering the ghost gourd, and used the Purple Mansion Tempering Method to observe the transformation of the magic weapon.

Leave the practice of inner alchemy to instinct.

A month later, Shen Lian's six inner alchemy techniques were perfected, and the newly acquired inner alchemy techniques also made small progress. The strange phenomenon of the ghost gourd gradually subsided.

The pattern of Seven Fairies Crossing the Sea is lifelike; if you shake the ghost gourd slightly, you can hear the sound of raging waves, as if the seven fairies are about to escape.

Shen Lian was playing with the ghost gourd, with regret and surprise in his eyes.
