I can't be a demon.

Chapter 171 Promotion [Dao Infant Seventh Realm]

Learn acting?

Shen Lian was a little stunned for a moment.

Then he thought of the previous appearance of the White Bone Cave. Wasn’t it a stage performance in Cangshan Town? Could it be that the White Bone Cave was still encouraging the Eight Immortals to discuss Taoism?
Shen Lian looked around. The area around the Ghost Pawnshop branch was so desolate and lonely.

Where do the spectators come from?

"Ghost Dad, you have a good interest. Where did you learn acting?"

"Follow the master from the opera troupe." Ghost Dad explained, "The opera troupe occasionally passes by here for a few days, and it will be lively then. Ah Lian, you can also follow me to learn opera."

Shen Lian was about to say something but stopped himself, as Ghost Dad’s perspective was obviously different from his own.

However, the rapid growth of Ghost Dad’s Taoism may be due to the so-called opera troupe, or perhaps it is the way for Baigu Cave to obtain inheritance?

Shen Lian was moved.

It can be seen from [Bone Immortal and Bone Man] that the Eight Immortals were busy in the White Bone Cave. Maybe I can learn some martial arts from it.

"What drama?"

"Master Zi's troupe only changes its play every hundred years. Well, the main play in the past forty years is "Mandrill Paying Homage to the Mountain"."

Ghost Dad added: "It's exciting."

He hummed a few words unclearly, but no one could make out what he was saying.

"Mandrill worships the mountain..."

Shen Lian frowned slightly. The mandrills' worship of the mountain obviously had nothing to do with the Eight Immortals. Usually, people in the market used mandrills to refer to demons transformed from monkeys.

He knew very little about the White Bone Cave. Although the Corpse Transformation Sutra was relatively popular among the Jinwu Guards, it was rare to see white bone alchemists outside.

Records within the imperial court were limited to a few related secret techniques.

Shen Lian shook his head slightly. Based on the several caves he had visited, it could only be said that there was no regularity at all.

There are closed small worlds like the Bibotan, and there is also the Nujiang Dragon Palace hidden in the rivers. The peerless monsters are simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Old man, are you having a smooth time opening your shop?"

"go well."

Shen Lian asked indirectly and found out that the place where the pawn shop was located was called "Trident" in the White Bone Cave. It came from the fact that there were three bone mountains several hundred meters high around the shop.

When Guidie first came to Trident Bone, there was a shopkeeper in the shop next door.

Later, the shopkeeper followed Master Zi out to perform. When the troupe passed by the Trident again, Gui Dad did not see the shopkeeper.

"I heard from the young master in the troupe that he doesn't follow the rules of the White Bone Cave."

"If you get too deep into the play, you can't come back."

Shen Lian opened his mouth slightly.

Are you sure that the singing opera you are talking about is what I understand as singing opera?
Shen Lian did not continue to ask. Ghost Dad had a dull mind and his words were based on his own cognition, a normal perspective of a neurotic.

"Old man, I have to stay in the Bone Cave for a while. Is Trident Bone in danger on weekdays?"

"No."

Ghost Daddy looked at the mountain of bones and the sea of ​​bones from afar and muttered to himself, "I am the only one who runs a shop in Trident Bone. The other merchants usually don't stay for long."

"Maybe it's because opera troupes often pass by Trident, and it's too busy and hard to do business."

"........."

Shen Lian smiled bitterly, feeling like he was talking to a deaf person.

"Hey, no one in the store can communicate normally. The ghost father talks to himself, the ghost mother is just a spirit tablet, and the ghost sister... her origin is unknown."

However, the White Bone Cave is indeed suitable for retreat to break through the elixir and become an infant.

The trident bone is terrifyingly secluded, and is protected by the three Ghost Fathers. Even if he makes a big noise when he is promoted to the seventh level of Dao Infant, his words and magic can cover up the strange phenomenon.

On the other hand, the resentment in Baigu Cave is more intense than that in Gao Laozhuang.

Shen Lian's Immortal Profound Art was integrated into the body of the meditating Vajra, which could absorb the aura of demons and temper his flesh, blood and bones. It was just about to break through the elixir and become an infant, so he had to let his body and soul reach perfection first.

"The demons in Bibotan and Gao Laozhuang have learned their lesson. Go and harvest leeks every now and then. Staying for too long will only backfire."

Shen Lian lay down in the corner and felt more comfortable than his hometown in Yanliang Town.

"Brother!"

Nian'er rushed out from the shadows, threw a bouquet of hair at Shen Lian, and then ran away quickly as if her prank had been discovered.

Shen Lian smiled without saying anything, then took out two pieces of ornaments from the fruit core.

"That's right, old man."

"What's wrong."

Shen Lian handed the accessories to Ghost Dad, which were a hairpin woven with special spider silk and a bracelet made of volcanic iron stone.

"This is... a treasure given to me by the Taoist priest. It will be more valuable if I clean it on a daily basis."

"it is good."

Hairpins and bracelets are made of ordinary things, but with Ghost Dad's current level of cultivation, it should not be a problem to refine them into medium-level multiplier devices.

Shen Lian plans to give the magic weapon to Wang Xin and Zhu Yihong.

The accessories had been prepared long ago, but the ghost father just left without saying goodbye.

Zhu Yihong and the other two were stationed in Yanliang Town, so Shen Lian had to trouble them with many things. Besides, the Yanshan area was currently his territory.

Shen Lian has held the Wanhu token for a long time, and Ma Wanhu has no intention of taking it back.

The Jinwu Guards in the Yanshan area are already headed by Shen Lian. During the New Year, more than a dozen people came to give gifts, and they were all received by Ren Dad.

"Li Shun has refined the Ghost Eye, a mid-level multiplication weapon, and his strength has indeed improved significantly. Maybe they will have a chance to join the cave residence in the future."

Ghost Dad hummed some opera and returned to the lobby with the ornaments in his hand.

Shen Lian focused on practicing.

Resentment continuously poured into the body, and a slight muffled sound could be heard. With the nourishment of the medicinal wine, the strength of the body slowly increased.

The strength also maintains the Great Circulation, revealing an aura of following the laws of nature.

Of course, because of the bottleneck, the room for improvement of the body and soul is very limited, and it may take even ten great cycles to refine a trace of strength.

But it doesn’t matter.

Shen Lian just wanted to make the Dao Infant perfect and lay the foundation for his immortality.

He was immersed in a seemingly useless practice. He could not feel the time in the White Bone Cave at all, and could only tell the time by the lack of oxygen in his organs. Mynah bird was elusive, and occasionally played with Nian'er for a while.

Four months flew by.

During this period, Shen Lian harvested a total of five dragon marrow fruits from the branches of the banyan tree. The elixir fruits bred by the placenta magic weapon grew slowly and were only beginning to take shape.

When the dragon marrow pulp is smeared on the surface of the dragon fish robe, the magic weapon absorbs the medicinal properties and the dragon pattern begins to transform into a dragon.

Just as Ghost Dad finished refining the magic weapon, the Dragon Fish Robe fell into his hands for warming.

After Shen Lian obtained the two magic weapons, he wanted to pass them on to Zhu Yihong and the other person, but it turned out that demons had been causing trouble in various parts of the Tang Dynasty recently.

Even though the demons that appear are generally not very powerful, it is still inevitable to draw on the Jinwu Guards.

After all, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Whenever there are demons causing trouble, there is a high possibility that something has appeared in a cave behind it. It is both a disaster and an opportunity, and will definitely attract the attention of various forces.

.........

"Brother, there are bugs growing up."

Nian'er woke up the snoring Shen Lian and held an unusually fat beetle in her hands.

The rest of the marrow worms have already formed cocoons. I don’t know how she feeds them, but she can feed them by just fiddling around in the bone mountain and sea for a while every day.

"Thank you Nian'er. If you like, I'll help you catch one if I have the chance."

Shen Lian felt a little embarrassed. Asking the foreign girl to work for free all day long inevitably made him feel like he was using child labor.

"Nian'er has been raised."

A dozen girls pointed toward a mountain of bones.

dong dong dong.

There was a response from inside the bone mountain. Heavy footsteps caused a large number of bones to slide down. The thing that Nian'er was raising was most likely over twenty meters in size.

"Uh……"

While Shen Lian was distracted, Nian'er disappeared in a flash.

"Other demons are unwilling to settle in Trident Bone. Could it be because of the three Ghost Fathers?"

"Haha, I guess so. The entire Trident Bone is the activity area of ​​Ghost Dad and his two companions. Anyone who dares to stay for long will probably die."

Shen Lian suppressed his distracting thoughts and summoned his career panel.

[Do you want to consume 4 points to synthesize the Yin-Yang Longevity Pillar and the Spiritual Eye Daosheng Insect Clothes?]

"determine."

The beetle sank into the lower dantian.

Following a creepy chewing, some of the insect silk wrapping the inner elixir merged with each other, and strange lotus flowers appeared around Shen Lian's body.

After Shen Lian stabilized his cultivation, the remaining marrow worms were delivered one after another.

[Do you want to consume 4 points to combine the Yin-Yang Longevity Pillar and the Blue Sky Insect Cloth]

[Do you want to consume 4 points to synthesize the Yin-Yang Longevity Pillar and the Large Derivative Wonderful Insect Clothes?]

.........

When the Five-door Infant Formation Method was integrated into the Yin-Yang Longevity Posture, Shen Lian's consciousness could no longer see through the cocoon, but he could sense that the inner elixir had been completely liquefied.

Ten methods to become an infant.

A strange rustling sound echoed from the cocoon.

Shen Lian's body and soul can no longer be improved through practice, and his foundation is so strong that it is rare in ancient and modern times. The opportunity to break through the bottleneck is becoming more and more intense.

"call."

After integrating the thirteenth method of infant formation, Shen Lian must suppress Yun Ling's inner elixir, otherwise the promotion to the seventh level of Dao Infant will be a natural result.

Only after all fifteen marrow worms disappeared did they release the restrictions on Yunling's inner elixir.

Rumble.

The light in the courtyard was mysterious. Nian'er stared at the strange scene blankly, exclaiming in disbelief and clapping from time to time.

The strange phenomenon only lasted ten meters, and the ghost father's taboo isolated the shop into a world of its own.

Normally, the process of breaking the elixir and becoming an infant is very dangerous.

The Yuandan is extremely unstable when it breaks, and the cultivator has no internal energy to protect himself. If he is not careful, he will die.

Shen Lian had a strange expression on his face, with his hands spread out and staring at his dantian.

The cocoon formed by the fifteen methods of infant formation made the promotion smooth, with flesh, blood and bones reorganized and living things wriggling inside.

Shen Lian was bored and his energy naturally absorbed into the cocoon.

"Dao infants usually have the physical characteristics of a body and soul, and are most likely related to true dragons."

"It's hard to say."

"The influence of the Lotus Blood Species is definitely there. It's possible for them to become anything."

Drops of Dao Infant Seventh Realm strength oozed out of the cocoon, and it was as sticky as syrup. It was obvious that the quality of the strength had increased at least tenfold.

"what?"

Shen Lian showed a look of doubt, his body and soul were nourished by the powerful energy and transformed.

"Why do I feel like I have already made a breakthrough? Why is Dao Infant Yi still trapped in the cocoon? Could it be a difficult birth? There are so many things to deal with..."

Sudden.

Suck, suck.

The Taoist infant devoured the colorful cocoon from the inside out. Dazzling light emanated from it, and the lotus phenomenon became more and more obvious.

Shen Lian stared at the cocoon intently, and the Taoist infant was about to reveal its true appearance.

When the cocoon completely disappeared, a fourth-grade flesh and blood lotus blossomed.

Shen Lian reacted quickly and realized that the blood and flesh lotus throne seemed to be derived from the profession binding and could also be considered a part of the Tao Infant.

Then, the Tao Infant supported by the lotus throne came into view.

"What the hell?!!"
