I can't be a demon.

Chapter 226 Visualizing the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant
It was unknown how long the dull knocking continued, and the Rat Fairy was left with only a pool of rotten flesh. However, there was still a faint trace of life left, which showed the terrifying vitality of the three thousand year old monster.

puff.

Shen Lian punched through the head of the Rat Fairy, and the Yunling Taoist Infant quietly entered her body.

[Fishing for a 0.87-year-old rat demon, experience gained from past lives +%]

Then information surged in his mind, and soon he created a martial art.

【Poison Indestructible Body】

[Created by Shen Lian, who gained his understanding after tasting the poison of the Gu rat. It is a side-door martial art that tempers the body. It requires swallowing the Gu poison to stimulate the blood, flesh and bones to produce poison resistance.]

Shen Lian was slightly disappointed. Although the poisonous immortal body was good, the immortal profound art also really needed various kinds of training to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.

However, he was more interested in the method used by the Rat Fairy to use her magical powers. It was the first time he had seen the traditional cultivation method of demons.

"There are five levels in total for the Gu Poison Immortal Body. I don't think it will take more than a few days to practice."

Shen Lian groaned. The poison accumulated in his body had already affected his internal organs, and suddenly some brown spots appeared on the surface of his skin.

In the eyes of others, it was clearly a sign that the poison had penetrated into the bone marrow.

This would prove that Shen Lian was a mortal. Could it be that the Taoist tradition of Lu Zu Temple was really martial arts? How could a warrior be able to fight against a three thousand year old monster?
Shen Lian ignored the prying eyes and reached out to touch the six people from Xinshan.

Because the stance and horizontal training they practiced were all derived from their own martial arts training, Shen Lian could easily absorb the poison in the six people's bodies.

Bang bang bang.

There were muffled sounds all over his body, and the rat poison turned into nutrients in the blink of an eye.

After only a few steps, Shen Lian had already mastered the art of the Indestructible Body of Poison. Although the improvement in his physical strength was not obvious, his resistance to poison improved by leaps and bounds.

He returned to his normal state and signaled the six people from Xinshan to carry the body of the rat demon.

The corpses of rat demons had piled up thickly in the alleys, and it would probably take a while to get busy. Seeing this, most of the people who were spying in the dark disappeared one after another.

In the eyes of various forces, Li Huan's strength is indeed extremely strong.

But it's no threat to them at all.

The Yellow-fanged Old Elephant gave Li Huan the recommendation letter in a dream, and the subject of contact was consciousness. Once Li Huan faced the Lion Camel Ridge directly, he would most likely be divided and eaten. After all, warriors are just blood food.

The various forces do not think that Huang Ya Lao Xiang will let Li Huan go because of family ties.

The ones who really need to worry are not them, but the princes and princesses who have not obtained a place in Lion Camel Ridge. If Li Huan wants to go there, he will definitely occupy a precious place.

Shen Lian returned to the courtyard and put the rat demon's body into the fruit core.

Then plant Danlu fruit in the corner.

"Immortal, immortal, please save my child!" The lady kowtowed repeatedly as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw.

"Your child is not on Fuhou Street. There are no bodies of children who have died recently in the neighborhood."

The lady was surprised and delighted. After thanking Shen Lian, she hurriedly left Fuhou Street.

Shen Lian shook his head slightly, but in fact, there was still something unsaid in his heart. There were footprints of children on Fuhou Street, but the children were nowhere to be found.

He suspected that the child had been taken into the dream capital by the rat demon.

The rats clearly knew how to enter and exit the dream city. Not only could they go there consciously, but they could even move around with their bodies.

"The water in the capital is too deep. Even the capital in my dreams may not reach the bottom of the water."

"Master."

Xinshan walked into the lobby covered in dirt and asked softly, "The mansion needs some repairs. I plan to hire a craftsman tomorrow morning. Do you have any requests, young master?"

"Renovate the front hall of the mansion into a Taoist temple."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

Whether for personal safety or to get the Tang Dynasty back on track in the future, it was necessary to erect a statue of Zhong Kui in the capital.

Xinshan was extremely excited and kept chanting "Zhong Kui is above" in his heart.

The capital is full of demons, and only Zhong Kui can suppress the chaos. Those immortals in the caves just treat the mortals as food.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

"Be careful, the capital is more dangerous than you think."

Shen Lian shook the ghost gourd, and a miniature head popped out of the gourd's mouth.

"Brother."

"Nian'er, go to the outside world and place some poisonous insects to act as spies. Remember, don't rush to spread the spies beyond Fuhou Street."

"got it."

The ghost girl split into more than a dozen figures and trotted into the night.

Shen Lian was still very relieved about Nian'er. The ghost girl's real body was still in the gourd, and the damage to her clone in the present world was not a big deal.

Two days later, Ye Lan took the initiative to come to Qinglin Mansion with a complicated expression.

.........

Qinglin Mansion is located on the west bank of Jing River, only one street away from Fuhou Street.

Shen Lian followed Ye Lan alone. After seeing the true appearance of Qinglin Mansion, he couldn't help but show a little surprise. The scale of Qinglin Mansion was indeed not small.

Inside the palace are many different palaces, and one can see the work of each cave dwelling.

That’s right, Qinglin Mansion was built together with various caves. It was specially used to store internal energy and was manned by a large number of Jinwu Guards reserves.

The court would assign the reserve troops to corresponding palaces based on their physical conditions.

Then they will be taught by a thousand households until they have a basic understanding of internal skills. After that, they will leave the capital and go to different regions to formally learn internal skills.

It is just like the reserve of inspirational sutras that Nujiang practiced at the beginning.

"Your Highness, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."

Ye Lan did not step into Qinglin Mansion, but only brought Shen Lian to the main gate.

"Ye Qianhu, you say."

"We ordinary mortals have our physical fitness tested by Qian Hu. Although casualties are unavoidable when we enter the inner skills, it is purely a result of a complete transformation."

Ye Lan smiled bitterly and added: "From what I know, the prince and princess seem to need to meet the two old uncles of the Li family. There was a prince and princess who went crazy for unknown reasons in Qinglin Mansion."

"Alas, Your Highness, your current strength is already far beyond the ordinary, so it is actually unnecessary."

"I can choose not to practice, but I must take a look." Shen Lian was constantly being eroded by the curse of the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant and there was no way he would let go of such an opportunity.

He was also confident that he could escape unscathed. The real danger was the capital in his dreams. The demons that one could encounter in this world generally had been in existence for thousands of years.

Ye Lan did not give any further advice, and their friendship ended there.

"Your Highness, I have inquired about your grandfather's family. Most of them have left the capital, but the young lady of the Xu family who was engaged to you is still in the capital..."

Shen Lian paused and asked with a slight headache: "Is the engagement still in place?"

"No."

"That's good."

Shen Lian went straight into Qinglin Mansion and walked towards the main hall.

The fiancée is something the real Li Huan needs to consider. Besides, given the current situation in the capital, how many people are left alive in each family?

Eighty percent of them have already become inhuman monsters.

When Shen Lian heard the word "engagement", he thought of his fake relatives who were all great demons, and he began to feel uneasy.

He came to the main hall, where a plaque hung read "Imperial Tooth Hall".

A guard made a gesture of invitation at the door.

"Your Highness, the two uncles have been waiting inside for a long time."

"kindness."

Shen Lian nodded and glanced at the reservists coming and going around the main hall.

There were some alchemists among them, the most eye-catching one was an alchemist from the Dragon Palace in the West Sea.

Without waiting for Ao Xiangzi to react, Shen Lian showed an expression of fear and avoided the enemy as much as possible, and stepped over the threshold of the main hall as if he was avoiding the plague god.

The door closed, and Ao Xiangzi couldn't help but look surprised.

The hall was dimly lit with only a few candles.

On the central platform is a giant statue of an old elephant with yellow tusks, looking down at everything indifferently in an oppressive posture.

There are rows of demon statues on the left and right walls.

It is somewhat similar to the Immortal Temple in the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave.

The two old men sat on cushions, with their backs to Shen Lian and their eyes closed, chanting scriptures. They looked almost exactly the same, both with elephant heads and human bodies.

"You are... Li Huan?"

"Yes, I have met the two uncles."

"Little guy, you are the last one of your generation to enter the ancestral temple. I thought you would never come to the capital again until you die. What a waste of your pure bloodline."

Shen Lian came within half a meter and could see the two people swallowing their saliva.

Due to the curse of the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant, he was unable to completely restrain his breath, and the demons could still smell the sweet fragrance at a close distance.

"Li Huan, bring it here. Bring me the letter of recommendation."

The old man on the left licked his lips and said, as if he was trying hard to suppress his appetite.

Shen Lian was not surprised at all. Since the Li family were the descendants of the yellow-toothed old elephant, most of the royal relatives should be demons.

After all, there are only a few members of the Li family like Li Huan who tend to be worldly.

Shen Lian took out the letter of recommendation.

The expression of the old man on the left suddenly became uncertain.

"The Emperor of Tang values ​​you very much, otherwise, otherwise I would definitely want to taste you..."

"Okay, Li Chengguang, don't scare Li Huan."

The old man on the right smiled and looked Shen Lian up and down with cloudy eyes.

"I am the eldest uncle, Li Heshan. Today, we will guide you to visualize the Tang Emperor and determine whether you are qualified to practice the Taoist tradition of the Elephant Buddha."

Li Heshan took out a pill and a fishy smell spread.

"Eat the elephant's eye pill."

Shen Lian took the pill and secretly used his wisdom eye.

【Elephant Eye Pill】

[Refined from Lion Camel Ridge, after swallowing it, the soul is at risk of becoming a demon, and at the same time, the body can directly look at the Buddha Kingdom in the dream. 】

"The Buddha Kingdom in the dream, I'm afraid it refers to the capital city in the dream."

"Then I don't need the elephant eye pill."

Shen Lian pretended to swallow it, but actually took it directly into the ghost gourd. Then he secretly activated the Immortal Profound Art, sensing the capital in his dream.

His consciousness wandered between half asleep and half awake, and the scene in the hall gradually changed dramatically.

[Qinglin Academy] is about to come into Shen Lian's sight.

The Qinglin Mansion in the present world trains reserve forces, and the Qinglin Academy in the dream capital is a demon.

Seeing that Shen Lian had been unable to visualize Emperor Tang, Li Chengguang's breathing became heavy and he almost couldn't control his appetite and left the cushion.

He sneered and said, "I really don't understand why the Tang Emperor values ​​a yellow-haired boy. He smells too much like a human and doesn't have [Innate Relics] in his body. Pure blood alone is useless!!!"

"The Emperor of Tang naturally has his own plans, which are beyond our ability to guess."

After Li Heshan finished speaking, Li Chengguang realized that he had said something wrong and broke out in a cold sweat.

The two didn't notice.

The moment they developed malicious intentions, not only did Shen Lian's muscles tense up, but the four guardian ghosts also began to stir.

The starling stopped at the top of the main hall, combing its feathers with a strange smile.

The shadows in various places in Qinglin Mansion squirmed and quietly opened their bloody mouths.

The rhizomes of the Danlu fruit planted on Fuhou Street spread over.

The sixth-grade flesh and blood lotus platform protected Shen Lian's soul.
