I can't be a demon.

Chapter 349: Raising Gu in the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas
There was no commotion in the North Sea Dragon Palace because of Shen Lian, but all the alchemists could sense that something was wrong. The old dragon, who was nearing the end of his life, obviously could no longer hold back.

A strong stench filled the air, and pus and blood oozed from the gaps in the main hall's door.

The body of the Dragon King of the North Sea became increasingly decayed, but the strength of his soul became increasingly strong, and he needed to take a large amount of wine worms every day to stay alive.

The most horrifying thing is that the Dragon King of the North Sea extended his dragon whiskers out of the Dragon Palace.

When it was retracted, the dragon's whiskers were actually wrapped around more than a dozen badly damaged dragon corpses, whose flesh and blood exuded a faint smell of the underworld.

Click click click.

The sound of chewing was constant.

Under such circumstances, all alchemists are in danger.

Ao Peng had a solemn expression on his face as he hurried towards the entrance of the Dragon Palace. However, after just a few days, his appearance had changed.

His back was bent and skinny arms sprouted from his ribs.

It was like a centipede demon transformed into a human form, and its cultivation had successfully advanced to the ninth level. Its aura did not seem like that of someone who had just broken through.

"What does the death of the old dragon have to do with me? I have already obtained such an opportunity. If I leave the North Sea Dragon Palace and practice hard for a few years, I will become an immortal!"

As Ao Peng murmured, his soul swept over the magical wine jar he was holding.

Inside the magic weapon is a giant demon that looks like a worm and a dragon. It is eating resources frantically and sheds a layer of its old shell every once in a while.

It is nearly ten meters in size but has only been around for nine hundred years. It may seem harmless, but Ao Peng can sense the terrifying threat posed by the centipede. This creature is simply not in line with common sense.

Ao Peng breathed rapidly and took out the old shell of the centipede and swallowed it into his stomach.

He also discovered the magical effect of the centipede's old shell by accident. Whenever he took it, his body and soul had the illusion that they were about to transcend the mundane world.

It doesn't matter if the breath is unstable, improving the cultivation level is the key.

"Perhaps this is the immortality recorded in the classics? Transforming into a human or a dragon is meaningless. The only way is to shed the mortal world and become an immortal..."

Ao Peng was immersed in his own ambitions and came to the gate of the secluded and deserted Dragon Palace.

He threw the dragon tendon lock away, and just as he was about to crawl out of the North Sea Dragon Palace, the centipede in the magic weapon became strange, and a faint demonic aura filled the air.

Just when Ao Peng was stunned, a few rays of light flashed from the darkness.

"Uh."

Ao Peng's eyes widened, the soul in his dantian was severely damaged, and then he saw a figure slowly approaching him in the dark.

"Ao Hanyang..."

The visitor was one of the few Nine Realm Alchemists in the North Sea Dragon Palace.

Ao Hanyang glanced at Ao Peng coldly, stretched out his hand and grabbed the wine jar, "In just a few days, you have gone from the eighth level to the ninth level. Don't think that others are stupid, Junior Brother, opportunities are for those who are capable."

Ao Peng's soul was destroyed and his body was thrown into the underworld where demons were everywhere.

Ao Hanyang showed greed on his face, and tried to feed various resources to the centipede. After getting the old shell, he immediately figured out Ao Peng's secret.

"If you don't know how to make use of opportunities, how can you become an immortal just by swallowing old shells?"

"The best strategy is to wait until the immortal insect transforms and then refine it directly."

"But we have to be careful. I guess a lot of people have noticed Ao Peng's abnormality, and even the three human immortals have some thoughts."

Ao Hanyang quietly returned to the Dragon Palace.

Not long after, three or four figures appeared in front of the door.

It can be predicted that in this troubled time, the stone eggs that can increase one's cultivation level will definitely attract a large number of alchemists to fight for them openly and secretly.

.........

Deep in the Dragon Palace of the North Sea.

Xi Baolin and others were covered in blood, following Shen Lian closely based on the shallow footprints on the ground.

They could clearly feel the demonic aura in the air, and there were constant peeping eyes scanning the dilapidated buildings around them.

After not sleeping for several days and nights, even those in the fifth realm of innateness felt a little listless.

"Is...is there...a demon following us?"

A strong man pointed behind him in horror. In the darkness where the light could not reach, there was a twisted and deformed dragon monster crawling with greed in its eyes.

There are few strong men interested in the depths of the Dragon Palace, and now they are no different from fish on the chopping board.

An old man took several steps back and murmured in despair, "How could a powerful warrior... possibly kill a real dragon? He must be a demon in disguise, just to lure us to the depths of the Dragon Palace and eat us."

"Shut up!"

Hong Changli spat out a mouthful of blood. The injuries in his mouth caused by the evil spirit were difficult to recover from. Once the evil spirit entered his brain, he would surely die.

"I have had a question since I was a child. Why do demons practice to become mortals? Shouldn't mortals be their blood food?"

Hong Changli looked at the old man and said word by word: "The answer is just ahead."

"But I can't hold on any longer."

Hong Changli smiled, his teeth had fallen out due to gum corrosion.

"What you and I have experienced should not be repeated by future generations. I only seek a technique that can free the sea dwellers from the bondage of the real dragon."

He distributed the remaining water and food to the other wrestlers.

"If demons attack, I will take the initiative to risk my life. You must remember to pass on the skills orally until they are passed on to the thousands of sea dwellers in the outside world."

The strong men were silent, but flames were already burning in their hearts.

Even though the road ahead became increasingly unfamiliar, they did not hesitate and continued on their journey for most of the day without any danger.

What puzzled the strong men was that the closer they got to Shen Lian, the fewer monsters there were.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The leader Hong Changli stood there in a daze, and the others stopped one by one.

In the courtyard with more than a dozen coral rockeries, Shen Lian was sitting on the top of the tallest rockery, nodding at them.

Shen Lian's energy and blood were unreserved, and his whole body was crackling.

Previously, the evil aura of the scholar Xiaobailong shrouded the study, but its blood and energy were not obvious. Now it is presented in the most intuitive way.

At this moment, their expressions were as if they were worshipping God.

"Yes, even though their ancestors have been subordinates of the North Sea Dragon Palace for generations, there are still warriors among the sea people, and they still have some spirit."

Shen Lian waved his hand and waited for the strong men to gather.

He had just dealt with the body and soul of the scholar Xiaobailong, and not only created an [Eight Heavenly Dragon Golden Bodies], but also harvested dozens of wine bugs.

The wine worms have been integrated into the ghost gourd, making the medicinal wine brewed by this treasure more fragrant.

"Since you have come here, I naturally know what you are thinking."

Shen Lian activated the ghost gourd, and the medicinal wine fell on the heads of the strong men. Their injuries were healed, and they even had some breakthroughs in strength.

"Thank you for your enlightenment, Immortal!"

The strong men all bowed and seemed a little at a loss when facing Shen Lian.

"The martial art I'm teaching you is called the Wave Chasing Posture. It originally came from the sea people, and was later gradually perfected to the ninth level..."

There was a flickering lotus platform between Shen Lian’s eyebrows, and the minds of the strong men were in turmoil.

The energy circulation pathways in their bodies underwent subtle changes, and they were fascinated by the vastness of martial arts, which contained infinite possibilities.

Shen Lian's exposed blood and energy surged, as if flames were burning on a rockery.

Hong Changli forcibly suppressed the urge to practice the Zhulang Posture, looked around, and then noticed a dry well in the corner.

The sound of dripping water echoed in the well, and faintly a dragon's head could be seen poking out.

"Fairy!"

"There is a mad dragon imprisoned here, so you'd better be careful."

Shen Lian did not respond to Hong Changli. He closed his eyes and looked like he was practicing in seclusion. He exposed his energy and blood as much as possible, and hid his martial arts golden body on the lotus platform.

"Fairy..."

Hong Changli's pupils shrank slightly, and a strange and inexplicable real dragon was lying at the mouth of the well.

The real dragon is dressed like an earthly woman, with silk clothes fluttering in the wind. Her fingers make a flower-picking gesture, "My dear~" at the same time.

There were also noises coming from the temple next door, as if a butcher was grinding something.

No demon could endure the blood and energy comparable to that of Tang Monk's flesh. They had been imprisoned by the Dragon King of the North Sea for hundreds of years, and their intelligence had long since fallen into madness, but they could still perceive the benefits of swallowing Shen Lian.

It is no problem for one's Taoism to increase for three or four thousand years out of thin air.

Hong Changli's eyes turned red, and he stood up desperately to block the crazy dragon.

As a result, just when the mad dragon was about to rush over, Hong Changli suddenly became dazed for a moment, and an endless shadow surged.

He came to his senses and the scene before him was unbelievable.

Shen Lian remained motionless.

The corpses of four mad dragons were already placed in front of them, with signs of gnawing all over their bodies, their eyes wide open as if they had died.

Under Shen Lian's feet, the bone blade grinned strangely with its bloody mouth wide open.

The shadows within a thousand meters were constantly twisting and boiling.

Hong Changli felt a chill down his spine.

If it weren't for the fact that the martial arts inheritance he received could not be faked, just by looking at this scene, one would think that Shen Lian was indeed a demon in disguise.

Shen Lian distracted himself by trying to calm the bone blade that was filled with murderous intent.

“Don’t be impatient. If you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy.”

"What I want is the destruction of the North Sea Dragon Palace, which will be perfect for me to practice in. I can't achieve my goal by just killing people indiscriminately."

Among the caves that Shen Lian had made enemies with, only Panhuan Cave and Sihai Dragon Palace were causing trouble everywhere.

The other forces had already shown their goodwill in advance.

The main reason why Panhuan Cave is that no one knows the location of the cave. The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas is similar, and it is difficult for outsiders to access the location of the Dragon Palace.

"Let's settle both the old and new grudges, and find out whether Xiaobailong is in the underworld."

"Well, maybe we can get a piece of the scale of the little white dragon, which should be more than enough to upgrade the bone blade to the seventh level."

Shen Lian only knew that the Jade Purity Palace fell into the underworld, but the area of ​​the underworld was infinite, so no one knew where the Jade Purity Palace was.

We can only hope that Little White Dragon might know something.

Of course, Shen Lian did not force himself to find the Yuqing Palace. He just did his best and left the rest to fate.

"Hehe, the North Sea Dragon King is really going crazy."

Shen Lian looked towards the main hall. The frequency of his two dragon whiskers fishing was increasing. It was obvious that his strength was beyond the expectations of the North Sea Dragon King.

"The little white dragons we have encountered so far are all transformed from the souls of ordinary people such as scholars and women."

"Logically speaking, the underworld contains billions of souls, so there must be some extraordinary immortals who died and reincarnated as little white dragons."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. Raising animals with stone eggs was going more smoothly than he had imagined.

The stone eggs were already known to everyone among the alchemists, and the Dragon King of the North Sea had no time to care about them, causing the fight among the alchemists to become increasingly fierce.

【Bimawen（89085.65%)】

Bima Wen's experience is only one-tenth away from being promoted to the fifth level, and it won't be long before the stone egg will achieve its first demon form.

"Hehehe, I want to make use of Bima Wen's four-level counterattack to go one step further."

It would take a long time to reach the level of Pupa Fairy just by practicing hard. Now that you have overcome the cognitive barriers and figured out the career panel, you must make more use of it.

While Shen Lian was thinking, the four dragon corpses were rotting and maggots were born at a speed visible to the naked eye, and dense swarms of wine worms were born from the dragon corpses.

If left alone, the wine bugs will turn into corals and plants. This is how the more than 40,000 little white dragons in the Dragon Palace of the North Sea came into being.

"go."

The ghost gourd was suspended in the air, continuously absorbing the wine bugs.

The spiritual charm of the treasure is quietly emerging, and it has already shown some signs of breaking through to the middle level.

"Quack, quack, quack."

Shen Lian was surprised to find that the starling had returned to the Dragon Palace at some point and was standing on a branch, looking at the dragon corpse with interest.

He was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely: "Master Ba, why don't you continue hunting ghosts?"

The myna curled its lips in disdain, then spit out black air that wrapped around the dragon corpse.

The alcohol bug was originally the transformation of a residual soul. After being stimulated by resentment, it suddenly showed signs of turning into a ghost, and its wailing was endless.

"Ah~ This is a treasure land~"

The starling stopped tormenting the dragon's corpse and disappeared, flapping its wings.

"Want to cause trouble again? Forget it, with the help of Starling we can have a better chance."

Hong Changli didn't dare to say anything. When he saw the starling out of the corner of his eye, he realized that it was probably the same monster as the bloody mouth in the shadow.

"Hong Changli."

"Immortal...immortal."

"Do you know how many strong men there are in the Dragon Palace of the North Sea?"

"Replying to the Immortal, the number of wrestlers should be around 4,000."

Shen Lian tapped on Hong Changli's brow, and the martial arts realm forcefully infused him with strength, causing the latter's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the sixth level of Yuan Dan.

However, the foundation is rather fragile and will inevitably take a long time to polish.

"The Dragon Palace is in chaos, with the alchemists killing each other. The thirteen of you should disperse and teach the four thousand strong men the secrets of the Zhulang Post."

"I understand, Immortal."

Hong Changli's heart was pounding. Thinking of his fellow practitioners who had been refined into human head lanterns, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"Be careful. There are always stubborn people."

"Yes."

"Come on, take them away from here."

Hong Changli finished his greeting respectfully and could not help but say, "My Immortal, I have heard a rumor that the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas seem to be paying attention to the North Sea Dragon Palace."

"kindness."

Shen Lian remained calm and watched the strong men disappear into the aisle.

"Does the little white dragon in Huangquan have any intelligence?"

"Is he planning to build the Four Seas Dragon Palace?"

Shen Lian felt something was wrong. It was unrealistic to say that it was just a coincidence that more than a hundred thousand little white dragons occupied the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.

"Never mind. It's none of my business."

Only bones were left of the four dragon corpses, which he threw into the alchemy furnace.

After all, they are all little white dragons transformed from mortal souls, and most of them produce ordinary dragon marrow fruits, which are not as valuable as newly born wine worms.

"Lingshan and Tianting have fallen. There should be some immortal souls in Huangquan, right? Even if they are just inferior..."

Shen Lian suddenly opened his eyes and slapped his head belatedly.

"Screening? How could there be no souls of immortals and Buddhas in Huangquan? There may not be any great powers, but there should be a lot of earthly immortals and arhats, right?"

The scholar Xiaobailong said that there were mountains of dragon corpses piled up beside the Yellow Spring, which meant that most of the little white dragons died as soon as they crawled out of the Yellow Spring.

This is the first round of screening.

In addition, there should be a second round of screening to pick out the little white dragons who were immortals or Buddhas in their previous lives.

The remaining mortals who were transformed into little white dragons were sent to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.

Because they have the same memories, and resources such as wine worms need to be obtained from their own kind, they will definitely fight in the closed Dragon Palace.

"Isn't it just raising Gu? I hope my guess is not true."

Shen Lian looked helpless.

Could it be that I, the [Little White Dragon], have already caught the attention of the original body?
