I can't be a demon.

Chapter 47: The Fish Monster of Bibotan
"Dad, you need to rest for another half a month before you can walk again."

Shen Lian sat in front of Shen Hansheng's bed, constantly using Yin-Yang energy to guide nutrients. After two days of rest, the latter no longer looked like he was on the verge of death, and his complexion was as if he had just recovered from a long illness.

"Cough cough."

"A Lian, I've met many martial artists before. If you waste your energy like this, it will easily damage your own Qi and blood."

Shen Lian shook his head until Shen Hansheng completely absorbed the nutrients.

Shen Hansheng sighed deeply, secretly lamenting that since he was no longer in the pawn shop, Shen Lian's character had changed a lot, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.

Shen Lian smiled.

"Hehe, quickly consuming energy will help improve your cultivation. While this old man is running low on energy and blood, I'll do it a few more times no matter what."

What a scene of loving father and filial piety.

The two talked about Shen Hansheng's experience in Gaojia Town.

When Shen Hansheng thinks back on it now, he still feels as if he has just woken up from a dream.

In fact, he had already found an escort agency to escort him to Yanliang Town years ago, but the sudden heavy rain caused thick mountain fog.

The caravan lost its way, and Shen Hansheng had no choice but to turn back to Gaojia Town. The result...

In Shen Hansheng's impression, he seemed to have come to a town that was somewhat similar to Gaojia Town, but completely different, and his consciousness became confused.

"I think... I also opened a pawn shop there."

Shen Hansheng covered his head in pain, and Shen Lian stopped asking questions when he saw this.

Shen Lian guessed that his cheap father had most likely accidentally entered the territory of the thousand-year-old demon, and that it was somewhat of a coincidence that he was still alive.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door outside the compartment.

"Dad, please get some more sleep."

"kindness."

Shen Lian said goodbye and walked out of the room. He saw Fugui with a horrified look on his face, "What's wrong?"

"Young Master, that Ma Yi is here to deliver fish again, but... that fish is really a little weird, it makes my hair stand on end."

Shen Lian's mind moved slightly, and he quickly came to the courtyard of the pawnshop.

As soon as he approached, he smelled an indescribable stench, as if it was the unique flavor of rotten fish that had been fermenting for a long time. He could even hear the sound of a yellow dog vomiting coming from the wall of the next courtyard.

Old Wang covered his mouth and nose, and the starling on the courtyard wall started shouting loudly.

"Ah~ That's so exciting~"

Ma Yi and the villagers who accompanied him stood aside somewhat awkwardly. They were carrying a wooden barrel half the height of a person, and the source of the stench was inside.

"Young Master, when we first cast the net and caught the big black carp, it was about the same as other fish. The flavor only became stronger as time went by."

"Let me see."

Shen Lian had already sensed the throbbing of the giant stomach, which meant that the thing in the wooden barrel belonged to an accomplished little demon. The stream where they were catching fish might actually be a tributary of the Bibotan Lake.

"No, no, no, Master, please pay the money first."

"Are you afraid that I won't give it to you?"

"That fish is a little scary. If you change your mind, we will suffer a great loss."

Shen Lian took out two taels of silver, and Ma Yi quickly took it with a smile. The other villagers were also very happy. Two taels were enough to buy a lot of rice bran.

"Ouch."

When the barrel is opened.

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth kept twitching.

A two-meter-long strange fish curled up inside. Not only did its eyeballs look like human eyes, but it also had the hands and feet of a baby under its body.

【Big black carp】

[Growing in Bibotan Lake, it is five years old. When alive, its meat is tender and delicious. After death, it is highly poisonous and cannot be eaten.]

"A fish demon with five years of cultivation? It's probably just transformed into a demon, so the demonic aura is quite weak."

Shen Lian secretly thanked his lucky stars for the banyan tree, otherwise he might have swallowed it all. What if he became addicted to it after a long time?
"Ah~ Show me a three-bite fish~" Shen Lian closed the cover, "Father-in-law, let me remind you that this fish is very evil. If you catch it again in the future, you must be more careful."

"It's really weird. There's a fish about seven or eight meters long in the deep water. Old Chen's blue cow was dragged into the water by it."

The villagers were talking about it.

Ma Yi smiled and said, "But big black carp rarely appear these days. I think it will be hard to see them again in a few days."

"Oh?"

Ma Yi said to himself in confusion, "It seems someone has dug a nest in another tributary and lured away all the big black carp. What a pity."

Shen Lian frowned slightly. Benboerba and Baboerben were insignificant in the world of Journey to the West, but they were definitely big monsters. If anything unusual happened in Bibotan, it would not be a good thing.

After seeing off Ma Yi and his companions, Shen Lian immediately threw the fish monster into the banyan tree.

Not to mention, when the magical power of pregnancy was used, the banyan tree seemed to be able to freshen the air, and the stench disappeared completely.

"Not bad."

Shen Lian waited for a day and a night, and the big black fish successfully turned into a red fruit. A fruit shaped like amber appeared on the branch of the banyan tree.

The fruit is translucent and contains a young fish with its belly turned upside down.

【Fish Fruit】

【Grown from the banyan tree, it nourishes qi and blood, improves eyesight and moistens the lungs after consumption. 】

"Brighten the eyes and moisten the lungs?"

Shen Lian threw it into his mouth, and it turned into nutrients before he could chew it.

[Take Fish Fruit, Sharp-toothed Warrior Experience +0.47%]

Shen Lian nodded in satisfaction. The two magical powers complemented each other, and the nutrients brought by the fish fruit were definitely more than swallowing the fish monster alive.

He channeled the yin and yang energies to digest nutrients, while feeling the coolness nourishing his eyes and lungs.

After a long time.

Shen Lian opened his eyes, and the white air that came out of his mouth was four or five meters long, sweeping over the grass leaves, and the vegetation in the courtyard became clearer.

"That's it."

"The demons can refine pills to improve the foundation of various organs in the body, but what about ghosts?"

Shen Lian looked at the well in the courtyard and said regretfully, "If only I knew how to make a nest, I could just lie at home every day and there would be an endless supply of fish monsters coming to my door."

"Oh, I think too much."

Shen Lian stretched and continued to think about the breath-holding method.

Most of the acupoints inside and outside the heart have been found, and the Yin-Yang energy has begun to be tempered, but it inevitably causes the blood flow to become disordered.

"It is indeed necessary to master the breath-holding technique, otherwise there is no need to go out at all."

Shen Lian's martial arts foundation is too strong. The Qi and blood in the fourth stage of foundation building are more than ten to twenty times that of ordinary martial artists. Once he is promoted to the fifth stage of innateness, the Qi and blood content is likely to exceed sixty to seventy times.

What a concept! I'm afraid that in the eyes of demons, Tang Monk's meat is the most precious.

Demons and monsters come here every day.

Shen Lian focused on the breath-holding method, and then spent another two days before finally becoming familiar with the heart acupoints and mastering the rules of tempering the acupoints.

As long as you follow your heart rate, there are no disadvantages to practicing kumbhaka.

Shen Lian's heart has certain benefits. The muscles that make up the heart become stronger, and the efficiency of blood refining increases imperceptibly.

[Kansuba (First Look)]

"No wonder the government attaches great importance to the breath-holding method. This horizontal training should be a very special internal training martial art, which can just make up for the defects of the indestructible bronze body, making it completely indestructible inside and out."

“I hope the ghost market will reopen soon.”

"Whether I can flourish in martial arts depends entirely on the ghost of ransom."
