I can't be a demon.

Chapter 57: Various Martial Arts Advancing in Parallel
When Shen Lian appeared on the first floor of the Ghost Market, even though he did not transform into an exaggerated indestructible bronze body, he still frightened all the ransom ghosts.

After all, he was holding a century-old ghost that was almost scared to death.

Under the horrified gazes of the ghosts and the stunned looks of the scattered warriors, the man and the bird left the ghost market cursing.

"The weather is changing. The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish will be."

Shen Lian noticed that a continuous drizzle covered Yanliang Town, and the giant stomach food produced a faint throbbing, proving that the coming of the spring rain was strange.

He caught a few drops in his palm and tasted it, then discovered that there was a faint evil spirit mixed in with the rainwater. It was obvious that the fish disaster was getting worse.

A few muffled roars were heard from deep within the South City area.

"what?"

Shen Lian frowned and turned his head with foresight.

He bent his fingers with force and flicked them out. Suddenly, raindrops turned into steel balls and flashed by. Then, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard not far away.

Shen Lian walked closer and saw the body of a deformed wild dog twitching.

The fur on most of the wild dog's body had fallen off, revealing flesh covered with fish scales, and there were organs similar to gills on its neck.

"What the hell is this? It looks so weird."

Shen Lian frowned slightly.

In this case, it is very likely that the underground river has been eroded by the strong evil spirit, causing the rainwater to be contaminated with the evil spirit and even affecting some animals.

"Come on, come on, three people and a dog~"

The myna stared at Shen Lian with great interest, trying to whet the latter's appetite.

"You think too much. Even if it contains a vast amount of experience, well, I will only consider it for a moment."

That wild dog is not even a half-demon, and the experience it provides is very limited. Besides, am I, Shen Lian, the kind of person who eats raw meat and drinks blood?
Shen Lian looked around and saw a large number of yamen runners dispersing into various urban areas.

"Slip away."

Seeing this, he quickened his pace, climbed into the courtyard of the pawnshop before daybreak, and threw the ransom ghost into the banyan tree hole.

[Absorb the ransom ghost, corpse Taoist experience +3.6%]

"As expected of a ghost with a hundred years of cultivation, when its resentment remains, there is almost no noticeable difference between it and a flesh and blood body."

Shen Lian felt a little pity. If he had a magical tool to temporarily seal the demons, he could also bring back some ghosts from the second floor of the Ghost Market to make pills.

"I think there are magical instruments for sale on the third floor, but..."

Shen Lian laughed awkwardly and said to himself, "Hehehe, the ghost market in Yanliang Town will probably be closed for a few months again. It's all because of the starling who always likes to stir up trouble."

"Stupid~"

The starling was too lazy to pay attention to Shen Lian and landed on a newly built nest on a branch to rest.

Shen Lian closed his eyes and felt the looming demonic aura. The government office took a moment to suppress the abnormality. It was obvious that the Jinwu Guards had anticipated this.

"Hey."

"Why are you so eager? Give me a few fish monsters to try."

Shen Lian summoned his career panel before dawn.

[Do you want to consume 3 points to combine the Indestructible Bronze Body and the Blood Reversal Skill?]

"It seems that the upper limit of martial arts synthesis is 3 points."

The moment Shen Lian secretly confirmed it, a large number of blood vessels were exposed on the surface of his skin, and the blood vessels were slowly wriggling like living things.

The capillaries throughout the skin and flesh become tougher.

No matter what heavy blow you suffer in the future, even your blood vessels can provide a certain amount of cushion.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

When Shen Lian woke up, the two horizontal training techniques had merged into one.

It is hard to imagine that despite his thin appearance, he actually hides a level of training that is as powerful as that of a demon.

[Unknown Horizontal Training (Bronze Body)] With the help of the occupation panel, it can be seen that the Immortal Bronze Body has not yet been reborn, but when the newly acquired Tiger Bone Iron Spine Skill is perfected, it should be able to push the Immortal Bronze Body to a higher level.

Shen Lian adapted to his new indestructible bronze body and picked up the martial arts secret book he had purchased and started to read it.

"First, learn the basics of the stance method. After all, the stance method does not have the blessing of the innate horizontal training holy body, so it is inevitable that the practice will take time and effort."

With Shen Lian's understanding of martial arts, he grasped the key to the Bixueqingxin stance in a moment, and then adjusted himself little by little through standing still.

The Yin-Yang Energy did not show any movement, and soon a new Qingxin Energy was born.

[The Clear Blood Heart Pillar (First Look)]

Shen Lian was still somewhat dissatisfied.

Compared to the rapid progress of horizontal training, the pole training does require a lot of effort to practice, and it is a waste to rely entirely on the profession panel to add points.

"It's better than..."

Shen Lian took out the secret book of Hunyuan Yiti Posture, and on the premise of maintaining the Bixueqingxin Posture, he planned to practice the two postures side by side.

After groping for a while, he could barely sense the existence of two forces at the same time.

Bang bang bang.

Shen Lian's body would make muffled sounds of gasping for breath every now and then. Logically, his meridians would be damaged at least, but his physical strength was there.

No matter how much trouble you take, it's difficult to shake the foundation.

When the elixir bred by the money-giving ghost matured, Shen Lian's martial arts column just happened to have a new [Hunyuan Yiti Posture (First Glimpse)], and the two stances barely maintained a trend of complementing each other.

Shen Lian was in a very good mood. He reached out to pick the pill fruit while consolidating his strength.

The appearance of the Dan fruit is similar to that of a silver coin, and the patterns on it appear rusty.

【Blood Money Fruit】

【Grown from the banyan tree, it strengthens the lungs and nourishes the soul after consumption. 】

"The elixir fruits bred by monsters act on the body, and the elixir fruits bred by ghosts act on the soul. Monsters and demons are all great tonics."

"Ah~"

The myna wanted to snatch the elixir fruit, so Shen Lian quickly dismissed it with the red-skinned peanuts he had picked up at the ghost market.

After all, it is a two or three hundred year old medicinal herb. The starling held the peanut in its mouth contentedly, not caring about the actions of its mount Ah Lian who embezzled the money.

Shen Lian threw the blood money fruit into his mouth, and his mind suddenly became clear.

He vaguely sensed the existence of the Niwan Palace in the upper dantian, but it only lasted for half a breath, and soon the nutrients of the blood money fruit were gone.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the realm of advancement in the fifth innate realm should be closely related to the soul. It finally feels like cultivation."

Shen Lian practiced the stance method patiently, and only started practicing the Tiger Bone Iron Spine Technique after his strength was stabilized.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

The two types of pole techniques have been promoted to minor success. The progress is faster than expected. In two or three months at most, I should have the opportunity to achieve perfection.

Shen Lian planned to consume as few points as possible unless he encountered an obvious bottleneck. Anyway, there was nothing urgent for the time being.

He began to do nothing every day, basking in the sun.

After the fish fruits are consumed, the resources purchased for zero yuan are just left.

Not to mention, the expensive medicine tasted really good, and it made Shen Lian temporarily forget the unbearable past of eating dirt and trees.

Huang Pu Dan has a soft and glutinous taste, with a chamomile fragrance; Jiu Shen Wan has a bitter and slightly sweet taste, with an undisguised medicinal aroma left between the lips and teeth...

Shen Lian didn't care what effect the medicine had, as long as it was swallowed it would be digested into nutrients.

As for the fish monster.

The government seemed to have controlled the scale of the fish disaster case. In seven days, there was only one fish monster with low skills, so Shen Lian no longer paid attention to it.

After spending so much effort to get kills, the experience gained was very little. It was better to have the pickled fish that Ma Yi occasionally sent to me. At least I didn't have to waste my energy.
