I can't be a demon.

Chapter 69: Corpse Fruit for Refining
Shen Lian lay in the courtyard for three days before he was able to gather his strength.

He heard the sound of children playing and fighting in the street. "Zhong Kui is the most evil, he commands the people and makes decisions. He is brave and hardworking, and demons are afraid of him..."

One child reluctantly played the role of a demon, while another child held a straw whip and pretended to be Zhong Kui.

"What a mess."

Shen Lian leaned over to take a look, and saw that the child was holding a strange clay figurine of Zhong Kui, which was inexplicably similar to his own bronze statue.

"Am I that ugly? It's probably because the clay figurine vendor's craftsmanship is so poor."

After the fish disaster, the worship of Zhong Kui in the city became more prosperous, and all the people seemed to be talking about the "secular god".

The government did not stop it and even condoned the people to make major changes to the appearance of the Zhong Kui statue.

Shen Lian curled his lips.

He felt that he was only one bat symbol away from becoming another Gotham master.

Shen Lian lazily leaned against the banyan tree, sipping the medicinal wine intermittently, and consolidated his new strength in a half-asleep and half-awake state.

The strength has now become somewhat special, actually presenting a structure where cold and hot intersect, and the transformation of yin and yang no longer stagnates at all.

【Unknown pile method (Hunyuan)】

After being integrated into the Hunyuan One Pile, the characteristics are different, but there is still a thin layer of window paper between it and further transformation.

Shen Lian scanned the eye root meridians. With the help of the synthesis of the stance method, he had already penetrated five meridians and was not far from the perfection of the eye root.

He let out a long breath, and the strength in his dantian was almost overflowing.

"Most warriors don't cultivate the five innate realms, but they always like to distinguish the strength of their powers, and consider sixty years as a sixty-year period of cultivation. Then what am I?"

"The energy is filling up the Dantian. It should be at least five generations old."

Shen Lian drank up the medicinal wine in the gourd, and a waiter diligently brought the wine jar.

Ever since the shop assistants learned about Shen Lian's terrifying martial arts skills, they have been eager to sign a contract to sell themselves to Shen Hansheng.

After all, demons are rampant nowadays.

Even the government office is probably not as safe as a pawnshop.

"Young Master, I see there is a longevity tablet dedicated to Zhong Kui in the medicine shop next door. Do you think we should set up an incense stand in our pawn shop?"

Shen Lian choked on his drink and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No need. Instead, when you purchase items on a daily basis, you should ask around to see if there are any strange or inexplicable troubles. But it's better to be careful."

"I'll give you some pointers some other day."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Shen Lian squinted his eyes comfortably. Even though the nutrients brought by the medicinal wine were scarce, the feeling of being slightly tipsy was most suitable in the early spring.

After eating two fish, he practiced the three horizontal exercises at the same time.

There was a constant crackling sound.

Shen Lian was already used to practicing horizontally, and he glanced at the banyan tree.

The bone-shaped elixir fruit grown from the corpse of the Jinwu Guard has not yet taken shape, and its growth rate is even slower than that of the original Yiwei Fruit.

He couldn't help but feel curious. Could it be possible that some rare treasure would be born?
"The Jinwu Guards on duty are really polite. They not only made nests to attract a large number of fish monsters, but also delivered goods to the door. They are really dedicated to the people."

Shen Lian stared at the White Bone Pill Fruit for a long time, and the Yin and Yang energy unconsciously impacted his meridians.

If someone else saw Shen Lian practicing, they would probably be shocked and feel that he was on the verge of going astray at any time.

"Well."

Shen Lian burped and woke up.

Unconsciously, he had reached the bottleneck of eye root perfection, and the tempering of the eye root meridians by Yin and Yang energy was gradually coming to an end.

Shen Lian quickly adjusted his attitude and decided to be more serious when facing the bottleneck.

of course.

The three-door horizontal training is still maintained.

Shen Lian meticulously let the Yin-Yang energy spread throughout the meridians at the base of his eyes. He felt his own energy and blood rushing into his pupils, and his vision suddenly changed drastically.

"It's a bit like the Yin-Yang Eyes?" Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and found that there were a few wisps of resentment floating outside the courtyard. In the past, he had to use eye-clearing talisman water to achieve this.

It stands to reason that a warrior's five innate realms will not extend his supernatural powers. Even if it is the demonic internal strength, one has to practice the corresponding secret techniques.

I guess it's because I have a solid foundation, worthy of being called the innate holy body.

"Infusing the eyes with energy can activate the ability of the Yin-Yang Eyes, but it can only see through demons that are two to three hundred years old. After all, it is the limitation of my realm."

Shen Lian was immersed in the advancement of his realm and once again came into contact with the state of enlightenment after a long absence.

But he did not have the illusion that his soul had left his body. It was just that his perspective was rising little by little, and his eyes could not help but fall on the clouds above Yanliang Town.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

As Shen Lian's eye root meridians reached perfection, the clouds seemed to become unnatural, as if they were made up of... a ball of cotton wool.

The cotton wool is gray and white, and at first glance it looks like the structure of flesh and blood.

Shen Lian came out of his state of enlightenment, and the clouds returned to being ordinary.

“Perhaps the demon’s aura from before was tainted with moisture.”

"Even if the Jinwu Guards make a big move in Gao Laozhuang, Yanliang Town won't be in chaos, right?"

Shen Lian couldn't help but take Gao Laozhuang seriously, and he kept his Yin-Yang eyes on at all times.

【Realm of the Innate (Ear Root)】

Shen Lian's worries subsided a little. Even though the improvement of the five innate realms on physical strength was not obvious, strength still required consideration of all aspects.

The five senses can sometimes play a decisive role.

"hiss……"

Shen Lian scratched his ear, and his Yin-Yang energy instinctively explored the meridians at the base of his ear.

"By the way, I don't know what realm is above the fifth innate realm. I have to find a chance to get information from the Jinwu Guards."

Shen Lian planned to take some time every day to inquire around the city.

At this time, the unique fragrance of the elixir fruit filled the air.

"The white bone dan fruit is finally ripe."

Shen Lian came back to his senses and smelled a scent similar to bone ashes in his nose. The surface of the fruit hanging from the branch was no different from a skull.

The starling was preening its feathers, obviously not interested in the white bone fruit.

Shen Lian reached out and picked the white bone fruit.

【Corpse Fruit】

[It is grown from a banyan tree and placed in a coffin with other objects. It is often buried underground for seven days and seven nights to create a lower-level bone instrument.]

Shen Lian licked his lips, worthy of being the best employee, Brother Shu.

Not only can it provide elixir, it can even produce elixir fruits for refining weapons.

"Used on the bone blade?"

Shen Lian looked at the bone blade tied to his chest, and then gave up the idea. The bone blade is the fundamental thing for a warrior after all. It would be putting the cart before the horse to hastily refine it into an inferior bone magic weapon.

"Let's just make a scabbard. I estimate that the bone blade will be promoted to the third level in half a month. By then, the length will be almost finalized. After all, I think my starling hasn't grown in a long time."

Even if the scabbard becomes unsuitable after being promoted to the fourth level, it doesn’t matter.

It would take a long time to gather enough experience, so a lower-level magic weapon would be enough as a transition. Besides, Shen Lian always felt that the Corpse Fruit was not as simple as it seemed.

Shen Lian put away the corpse fruit, it was already getting dark.

"To ensure that the Sharptooth Warriors advance as quickly as possible, we must work harder."

The early spring wind is chilly.

Shen Lian greeted the mynah bird and went back to the room to rest.

He inadvertently looked at the courtyard wall and saw a few hemp ropes swaying in the wind in the cracks of the rough blue bricks.
