I can't be a demon.

Chapter 303: Crazy Genius

As night fell, there was a hurried knock on the door as expected.

dong dong dong.

Shen Lian opened his eyes and saw Li Liuru's huge face pressed against the window. "Disciple, I have already asked the Taoist Master Daode. You know, the way they refine the scriptures is totally wrong!!!"

"The Lord of Morality has blessed the world. If it weren't for the Lord of Morality to solve your doubts, you would have died!"

Shen Lian listened to Li Liuru's chatter with fear on his face. He had doubts about the Lord of Morality mentioned by the latter, but it was indeed necessary for him to get in touch with him.

Li Liuru was able to point out the drawbacks of the immortal species, which shows that in terms of cultivation, he sees more clearly than most of the eight divisions of cultivators.

Shen Lian currently has no clue and does not want to miss any related opportunities.

"My disciple, I have been thinking about the method of refining immortal seeds in my dreams every day, and with the guidance of the Moral Heavenly Venerable, I have barely found a way forward."

Li Liuru expressed regret in his words, obviously he had witnessed his disciple becoming a Nuo fairy.

When Shen Lian opened the door, he immediately smelled the unique fragrance of peaches. It was obvious that Li Liuru's ability to connect the past and the present was indeed due to the peach tree.

"Disciple, follow me. Your idea is absolutely correct!"

"I will never let you make the same mistake again."

Li Liuru sometimes said that it was a method he created, and sometimes said that it was taught by the Lord of Daode. The logic of his words was full of contradictions.

"Master."

Shen Lian was unaware of Li Liuru's ill intentions, so he stepped out of the room and kept the tree roots wrapped around his ankles at all times.

Li Liuru's appearance came into view.

He doesn't look like a Nuo fairy, nor like a monk from the Plague Tribe. Instead, he looks like a demon transformed from plants and trees.

Li Liuru was wearing a long robe. He was more than four meters tall, but it could not hide his bloated body. He moved only by crawling on all fours.

His physical strength was far inferior to Shen Lian's, and he had the illusion of being extremely weak.

There is a two or three meter tall peach tree growing on Li Liuru's back. His flesh, blood and bones have become the soil for the growth of roots and rhizomes. His blood vessels and meridians are completely occupied, which leads to his bloated body.

Their image is similar to the monkeys in the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Shen Lian felt horrified. He always felt that Li Liuru was like Cordyceps sinensis. It wouldn't be long before his body and soul would lose their sensitivity to the outside world.

Li Liuru also relies on the peach tree in his body to travel between the ancient and modern worlds.

"Disciple, come with me to the alchemy room."

Li Liuru walked on his own, repeating the names of various medicinal herbs.

Shen Lian deliberately fell behind by half a meter.

Sudden.

The peach tree on Li Liuru's shoulder had blossoms in full bloom, with faint pollen scattering everywhere and the fragrance in the air becoming stronger and stronger.

Shen Lian didn't pay attention at first, but soon realized something was wrong.

The pollen silently entered the mouth and nose, and flowed to the Niwan Palace with the blood. During this period, his soul did not notice anything unusual at all.

Only the sixth consciousness gave a warning, but it was fleeting.

Shen Lian thought to himself, this is terrible.

Li Liuru had no subjective malice, but after his body and soul were parasitized by the Peach Tree, he often unintentionally affected those around him.

Without waiting for Shen Lian to deal with it, his expression became dazed.

Immediately afterwards, bloodshot pupils formed a strange rhythm, and things in his eyes changed drastically.

"What the hell?"

Shen Lian looked around in disbelief, and there seemed to be a layer of mist in front of his eyes. Then the dilapidated old alchemy room became brand new.

Various spiritual materials are planted in the weed-covered courtyard.

There were more than a dozen shadows busy in the fields.

Shen Lian subconsciously reached out to touch it, but the shadow passed through him.

Li Liuru, who was not far away, returned to normal. His words were no longer unclear. He was introducing the old alchemy room to Shen Lian.

"Hallucination."

"What I saw was probably an old alchemy room from thousands of years ago."

Shen Lian had a complicated expression. He then used his strength to disperse the pollen and continuously circulated the Great Circulation to flush the blood, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

Pollen is invisible to the naked eye and is difficult to detect when mixed in the blood.

Strength can only be built up slowly and with perseverance.

"kindness."

Shen Lian groaned. When the pollen content in his body reached a certain level, the hallucinations around him became clearer and his sixth sense issued warnings one after another.

He then discovered that the Purple Mansion Weapon Tempering Method actually had miraculous effects.

After the Yuanshen activated the Purple Mansion Tempering Technique, the pollen melted away bit by bit, and with the help of the light from the lotus platform, all the pollen was cleared away in a moment.

Shen Lian came back to his senses and everything in his eyes returned to normal.

Li Liuru is still the same Li Liuru.

Shen Lian swept his body and soul, and a tender bud appeared in the palm of his open right hand. It was obviously a peach tree sapling that had sprouted due to the stimulation of pollen.

"It's really weird. Each alienated innate spiritual root is more weird than the other."

Shen Lian didn't think that he could go to the ancient heaven by inhaling pollen for a long time.

Situations like Li Liuru's must be rare. At the same time, they were dealing with the main plant of the peach tree, and now the entire ghost market is full of branches.

The information from the subsequent career panel appraisal also verified this.

[Demonized Peach Pollen] [Born from the Peach Tree, it will cause hallucinations after taking it. It is highly addictive and can easily lead to the body and soul going astray.]

Elder Fengjing's determination to follow the Tao was shaken by the pollen he inhaled.

Shen Lian realized that the reason why Li Liuru was imprisoned was not as simple as stealing the peaches, and the latter was most likely a victim of the great calamity of heaven and earth.

The catastrophe of heaven and earth came too suddenly, and the Heavenly Court didn't even have time to take care of Li Liuru.

Jail? More like quarantine.

At the time when Li Liuru was there, Wuzhuang Temple had not yet held the fruit tasting conference. Although the Heavenly Court maintained order, chaos had already begun and the catastrophe of heaven and earth could erupt at any time.

Shen Lian asked tentatively: "Master, do you know the Queen Mother's Peach Garden?"

When the three words "Queen Mother" came out, the atmosphere became tense.

Li Liuru suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Shen Lian, veins popping out on his forehead, and then he said, "You, you, you..."

"You were sent by the Queen Mother! I've told you hundreds of times!!"

"I really didn't see anything in Pantao Garden!!"

"I didn't kill the seven fairies who hanged themselves!!!"

"I am just a soldier of the Plague Department, and I am a disciple of Yang Wenyao, the Plague Envoy from the North. Why do you blame me for everything!!!"

Bang bang bang.

Li Liuru wailed in pain and his breathing became unstable.

The peach tree on the back is growing wildly, and its pollen covers most of the old alchemy cauldron. If the situation continues to intensify, the Taoist temple will most likely be affected.

Shen Lian broke out in a cold sweat, the Purple Mansion Tempering Technique was no longer able to suppress the Peach Blossom Pollen.

"Master, this is the alchemy room, there is no Queen Mother here!"

"Open your eyes and take a look. I am your disciple Tianwen. The Queen Mother was just a dream you had when you were sleeping. Don't take it seriously!"

Li Liuru finally came to his senses and murmured, "Is there no Queen Mother?"

"No, if you don't believe me, just look for yourself."

Li Liuru looked around and said to himself with a sense of relief, "Master has been having these strange dreams over and over again. The Queen Mother of Heaven is presiding over the Peach Banquet and has assigned Master to guard the Peach Garden."

"My disciple, do you know? When I was inspecting the Peach Garden, I found... I found that several peach trees were sick. The seven fairies who were picking peaches were hanged on the branches in despair."

"What's the disease?"

"Half of it is a peach tree, and half of it is a ginseng fruit tree!!!"

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly. Could it be that the grafting of innate spiritual roots was not artificial?

"The sick peach tree had already picked many fruits. I was afraid that something might happen to the peaches of the Queen Mother, so I went to see the Jade Emperor to explain the matter. After that... I don't remember what happened next."

Shen Lian suspected that the disease of the peach tree might be a sign of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, which caused some immortals and gods in heaven to be affected.

Li Liuru was isolated and accidentally traveled between the ancient and modern worlds, but the erosion from the peach tree also made him completely unable to distinguish between the real world and dreams.

"If Li Liuru was imprisoned, how could he have access to the Lord of Dao and the Dao? And what about the books that recorded the Lord of Dao and the Dao's comments?"

Shen Lian frowned tightly, a little confused about the cause and effect.

Li Liuru was sweating profusely and said with lingering fear: "This dream is too real. Fortunately, it is just a dream and nothing happened."

"That's right, Master. Nothing happened."

Li Liuru quickened his pace and hurried into the alchemy room.

The tripod had not been used for a long time. He skillfully spit out flames from his mouth to burn the bottom of the cauldron, and then took out spiritual herbs with different medicinal properties.

"Disciple, what you lack is a set of medicinal ingredients. As long as I make the medicinal ingredients, you will be able to completely refine the immortal seed after taking it."

"Medicine guide?"

Shen Lian felt very puzzled, but he still obediently fanned the tripod.

Li Liuru leaned over to Shen Lian and whispered, "I have been exploring how to completely refine the immortal seeds for thousands of years. After asking the Heavenly Lord of Morality, I found a way!"

Shen Lian listened attentively. Li Liuru might be a madman, but he could also be a genius.

"Disciple, each level of the Plague Department's skills requires the replenishment of one's own immortal seeds, but they all use the disease immortal seeds nurtured by Nuo Immortal to integrate into it."

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly realized what Li Liuru was thinking.

“Why do we need external help?”

"Everyone gets sick. Ordinary people get sick, immortals get sick, and even the peach tree gets sick. Since getting sick is normal for people, why can't we breed new disease immortal seeds on our own?"

Shen Lian suddenly realized and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Li Liuru's idea is that the disease fairy seeds that he bred by himself contain the aura of the body and soul, and every time they are integrated into his own natal fairy seeds, they are being refined.

When one becomes a land immortal, it will not be easy for his immortal seed to get out of control.

Shen Lian felt that it was quite feasible. With the occupation panel in hand, even if the addiction fairy seed was integrated into various parts of the body, it would not become the master.

"Look, my disciple. This herb is called Soul-Calling Herb. It will give you a splitting headache after taking it."

"This one is the Soul-Splitting Leaf, which can put the internal organs into a near-death state, allowing the Soul-Calling Grass to better exert its medicinal effects."

"Add a little bit of spark stone, and the toxicity will increase several times."

"There are also five flowers of decline, which can cause night sweats..."

Li Liuru took out one spiritual material after another and threw them into the tripod to boil them. A pungent and unpleasant smell hit him in the face and bubbles were boiling on the surface.

Every time the bubbles burst, a miserable wail would echo.

Shen Lian felt creepy just by smelling the odor. He was instinctively resisting the things inside the tripod, and symptoms appeared all over his body.

With his clothes soaked with sweat, Li Liuru was afraid that he was going to die!
