I can't be a demon.

Chapter 288: One day in the ghost market is equivalent to one year in the mortal world

[Infinite Corpse Root promoted to Infinite Corpse Tree, martial arts points +200]

[Boundless Pregnancy: Actively absorbs nutrients from the ground within a very large range, and spreads over time, nurturing all things through nutrients. ]

After the banyan tree was promoted to the sixth level, all of Shen Lian’s special features disappeared instantly.

He could feel that the roots of the banyan tree were spreading outwards over time, causing prompts to appear on the career panel every now and then.

[Absorbing Hundred-Year-Old Insect Monster, Unbounded Corpse Tree Experience +0.00%]

[Absorb Hundred-Year Black Fish, Unbounded Corpse Tree Experience +0.00%]

[Absorb the Hundred-Year-Old Soul-Losing Ghost, Unbounded Corpse Tree Experience +0.00%]

.........

From experience, we can see that the difficulty of advancing to the seventh level is far beyond imagination.

You know, the experience of the sixth level of the banyan tree depends entirely on chance. Even if it continues to increase tenfold, it will take an unknown amount of time to be full.

Shen Lian shook his head. The issue of experience was relatively easy to solve.

Once the entire Tang Dynasty is protected, we can actually try to promote burials. Each corpse buried in the ground is simply a continuous experience package.

There is no need to run around and work hard, it is only a matter of time before you gain enough experience.

The trouble lies in the profession required to advance to the seventh level. The sixth level integrates half of a ginseng fruit tree, so doesn’t the seventh level require finding the true innate spiritual root?
Shen Lian felt a headache just thinking about it. Who knows where the demon transformed from the ginseng fruit tree is.

He restrained his breath little by little, and his martial arts golden body began to boil. The strength in his body circulated around his meridians, gradually becoming more refined.

When the strength returns to the lower dantian, the size of the martial arts golden body suddenly increases.

Shen Lian used his concentration to stabilize his cultivation, and his martial arts golden body soon calmed down.

Ever since he entered the Eight Realms of the Divine Journey, cultivation had become a natural progression. Now, he had even used the banyan tree to advance to the Sixth Level to break through the bottleneck.

Before I knew it, I had already completed half of the journey through the eight realms.

Shen Lian summoned the career panel.

【Shen Lian】

[Realm: Divine Wandering (Four Realms)]

[Martial arts: Changsheng Zhuang (golden body of martial arts), Immortal Xuan Gong (immortal body), Thousand Arms Fist (great power Prajna), Purple Mansion Weapon Tempering Method (mind like a torch), Horizontal Sword Style (Nirvana Cutting Life)]

【Points: 643】

[Fifth-level occupation: Ksitigarbha Yama (69.67%)]

[Level 13.67 Occupation: Savage Roe Owl (%)]

[Sixth-level occupation: Unbounded Corpse Tree (0.02%)]

[Fifth-level occupation: Rebirth Tanchan (104.57%)]

.........

Leaning against the banyan tree, his martial arts points reached an unprecedented 643.

However, Shen Lian took into consideration that the Nine Realms of Heavenly Palace would require exploring the method of creating his own true scriptures, which would inevitably consume a large amount of martial arts points.

He climbed up the well and returned to Yanliang Town.

The grass, trees and houses were all covered with a thin layer of snow. Shen Lian was stunned for a few breaths before he realized that it was only early October.

He took out the Wanhu token and found a lot of additional information.

He had only been in seclusion for half a year, but the disasters continued unabated, and almost caused nearly 200,000 people in the city to die of colds.

Shen Lian swept across the urban areas and focused his gaze on the intersection of Lantian Street.

The feeling of the cold wind did not seem to be caused by any magical taboo, but more like the secret technique of the alchemist, but there was no trace of the technique left.

"The Jade Rabbit's magical power can also prepare medicine according to the symptoms, which is good."

"The banyan tree is also rioting. Among the four fundamental creatures, the banyan tree is probably the most powerful, but the evil spirit is scattered among its roots."

Now the entrance and exit of the ghost market has disappeared, but a strange teleportation tree has grown in the corner of the wall. The trunk is like a bamboo, climbing up section by section, and the leaves are gray-black.

[Banyan tree branches]

[It was formed by the Banyan tree absorbing the Ghost Gate and then dividing, and its roots go deep into the Ghost Market. 】

Shen Lian was not surprised at all. The entrance and exit of the ghost market that appeared half a month ago was definitely not simple. The material was shaped like bones and it was very likely to lead to deeper levels.

He closed his eyes and rested, while dealing with the elixirs hanging on the branches in his central dantian.

The elixir of the Middle Vehicle Buddhism [which will give birth to a man of blessings, virtue and wisdom] has matured, but the elixir of the Tathagata Sutra is still green.

Even the elixir fruit grown from Qingfeng Mingyue's corpse is nearing maturity.

According to Sha Wujing, the Tathagata Sutra in Bibotan is very close to Mahayana Buddhism.

This indirectly shows that Tathagata Buddha has become the carrier of the true scriptures, and the relics are most likely the first generation of Mahayana Buddhism derived from Mahayana Buddhism.

Shen Lian carefully processed the Guanyin Fruit and at the same time sent a message to Zuo Yan to come to the pawnshop.

【Middle Vehicle Avalokitesvara Fruit】

[Grown from the banyan tree, the fruit of the middle-level Guanyin contains the eight characters of a man who will be blessed with blessings and wisdom, and they evolve into the four objects of Guanyin. 】

【Taking the pulp can refine the impurities in the golden body and improve the quality of the golden body. 】

[Taking the peel can make the golden body grow the protective robes. As long as you wear the robes, you will not be at risk of going astray. ]

[Refining the fruit core can give birth to a man of good fortune and wisdom with a golden body imprinted on his horoscope. Remember, those who hold the scriptures must carry them on their journey to the west!!!]

[By refining the Buddha Worm, any living being can give birth to a Buddha fetus. They are born without souls and can easily take over another body and be reborn.]

Shen Lian took the pulp into the ghost gourd and brewed it into medicinal wine for consumption.

The peel is swallowed directly, and the soul guides the medicinal power to gather into the Niwan Palace, and is absorbed by the robe worn by the martial arts golden body.

The robe is a worm robe derived from the skills of the Kingdom of Women and is not part of the golden body.

In a moment, the robe had turned into a cassock. Although it could only be used to protect the golden body, it was comparable to lower-level magic weapons.

"What should I do with the Buddha worm? It seems to be of little use."

“What acquired Buddha fetus? It’s really a bit weird. Moreover, the information identified by the wisdom eye is too simple. Who knows whether there will be any disasters in the process of nurturing the acquired Buddha fetus.” Shen Lian watched the vitality of the Buddha worm gradually dim. After hesitating for a few breaths, he took the initiative to pinch it hard and threw the corpse of the Buddha worm into the alchemy furnace.

The baby-shaped Dan fruit grows slowly.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door, and after getting Shen Lian's response, Zuo Yan walked into the courtyard.

Zuo Yan's condition was not very good. He couldn't stop coughing, his tiger hair was soaked with cold sweat, and he was emitting an abnormally high temperature.

He had just perked up, but he was horrified when he saw Shen Lian.

Shen Lian was playing with the fruit core in his hand. Countless scriptures became more and more intense in it, and then fine cracks appeared all over the fruit core.

Snapped.

The core breaks.

Zuo Yan recognized at a glance that the forbidden scripture in the fruit core was the cause of Guan Ping's madness and death, just like a mosquito larva wandering in a pond.

"Captain Zuo, please give us a detailed description of the appearance of the man who haunted the ghost market."

"Uh."

Zuo Yan was stunned for a few moments, then noticed that Jingwen was struggling frantically.

Shen Lian looked unconcerned.

[Do you want to spend 20 points to combine the Thousand Arms Fist and the Man of Fortune and Wisdom?]

"determine."

The Buddha's light emitted by the scripture paused, and then the bee pupa entered Shen Lian's mouth.

Zuo Yan swallowed his saliva repeatedly, and the scriptures made hysterical sounds. He was unable to get away from Shen Lian at all, and then digested it bit by bit.

He had previously doubted the authenticity of the myna and the little Leiyin Temple Di Ting, and who was the real auspicious beast guarding the cave.

Now it seems that even if Shen Lian is not Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, there is probably some connection between them.

"Replying to Master Shen, the man in the ghost market looked extremely ugly, with his arms hanging down to the ground, but he was indeed dressed like a Taoist..."

As Zuo Yan spoke, he used his strength to outline the appearance of the strange Taoist priest.

Shen Lian frowned slightly.

He was confident that he could recognize any cave at the first sight, but the strange Taoist priest was indeed an exception. He didn't seem to be a disciple of an unparalleled demon at all.

As far as Shen Lian could remember, there was no cave that controlled the wind and cold.

"Master Shen, the other party has been testing us from the beginning to the end. It must be related to the Little Leiyin Temple. The wind and cold are hard to guard against. Even with my cultivation level, I would lose the power to resist if I am hit."

Shen Lian did not comment. If it involved Xiao Leiyin Temple, it would be hard to explain.

The Buddhas in the Western Lingshan Mountain have all kinds of strange jobs, and there might be related diseases, but the visitor is a Taoist priest after all...

Click.

Zuo Yan's head left his body. "Master Shen, I deliberately sealed some wind and cold seeds in the Niwan Palace. There should be some clues."

"I will use my spirit to take away the cold seeds. Don't resist."

After Shen Lian finished speaking, he did not give Zuo Yan any chance to react. His condensed spirit left his body and went straight into the latter's Niwan Palace.

Zuo Yan was secretly amazed. From the perspective of his own soul, Shen Lian's soul seemed to be a thousand feet long, with three Taoist flower stamens blooming.

"Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head? It is said that this was the transcendent state of the Taoist sect thousands of years ago."

Shen Lian noticed that there were some mold attached to Zuo Yan's soul. As expected, they were the so-called wind-cold seeds.

The Wind-Cold Seed does not have the slightest demonic aura, nor is it considered a conventional secret technique.

how to say?

It's like a materialized germ.

Shen Lian's soul revealed its aura, and the wind and cold seeds floated over impatiently.

But the soul was contaminated with mold, and the long-lost cold symptoms appeared, and the real body's head began to ache as if it had a hangover.

Shen Lian withdrew his soul, and he felt much better after the lotus platform wrapped around his Niwan Palace.

【Wind cold insects】

[Refined by Taoist Fu Sheng, if a living being is infected with the cold insect, it is difficult to get rid of it with ordinary means unless the person dies.]

"Taoist Fusheng? No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with Little Leiyin Temple, right?"

Shen Lian asked solemnly, "Captain Zuo, have similar situations occurred in other towns?"

"Yes. Previously, in the towns near the [Mountain Moving Case], white bone-shaped entrances and exits of the ghost market appeared. All the Jinwu Guards who mistakenly entered were killed."

Unfortunately, after September 15th, the entrance and exit of the ghost market disappeared and there was no way to verify it.

Shen Lian calculated in his heart that there were still thirteen days before the gates of hell opened in October. It was very likely that something big would happen by then, and maybe even... Di Ting would descend to the mortal world on that day.

He glanced at the teleportation tree in the ghost market and sneered, “I will go to the ghost market myself to see what is so special about the monk who plays with the wind and cold.”

"Master Shen, be careful."

"Not only is the flow of time in the deep ghost market different from that in the mortal world, but being in it will also consume extra lifespan, which is very dangerous."

"fine."

Shen Lian shook the wine gourd. Fifteen drops of longevity wine had already been brewed. Plus, he could enter and exit at any time through the teleportation tree, so it was no problem.

【Cao Huan Wine】

[Grown from the banyan tree, taking one drop can extend your lifespan by 3,800 years, taking the second drop can extend your lifespan by 1,500 years, taking the third drop can extend your lifespan by 600 years, and taking the fourth drop has no effect.]

After being brewed into wine, it can extend one's lifespan by 600 years compared to taking the elixir directly. This shows the magical use of the ghost gourd.

"Hey."

Zuo Yan sighed and said, "I have heard a saying."

"One day in the ghost market is like one year in the mortal world."
