I can't be a demon.

Chapter 92: Secret Book of Inner Alchemy

Shen Lian's appearance was undoubtedly like throwing a huge rock into the originally calm water surface, and the reactions of the Jinwu Guards present were different.

At first they thought Shen Lian didn't understand the rules of the auction.

But soon, the Jinwu Guards realized that the identity of the visitor was not simple. To be precise, the coffin that Shen Lian was carrying was not simple.

The talisman on the surface of the coffin is called the [Ghost Sealing Curse]. Judging from the coverage of the talisman, 99% of the patterns have been activated.

There might be a thousand-year-old demon inside.

hiss……

This person can imprison the demon for a thousand years, so he must be a thousand-householder in the imperial court.

Or he could be an alchemist.

The Jinwu Guards had a lot of thoughts in their mind, and they couldn't help but feel a little restless.

In any case, as long as it is not a demon, they can use the commotion caused by Shen Lian to try to obtain the auction items on the willow branches.

The Jinwu Guards were on high alert, watching the dozen or so demons approaching Shen Lian.

The group of demons opened their bloody mouths, eager to fight for the blood food, especially the internal organs of the prey, which were absolutely delicious.

Shen Lian's body suddenly grew to over two meters in height. The sixth sense between his eyebrows opened, and his five senses captured the demon's every move in great detail.

"Whale fall."

Shen Lian disappeared on the spot.

Rumble.

The sound of flowing water was endless, the yin and yang energy turned into rolling waves, and the true meaning of martial arts formed a giant Kun whale of a hundred meters in length.

Shen Lian has the bonus of the sixth sense, and he controls the true meaning of martial arts to shuttle among demons.

Moment.

One of the ghosts froze in place, and the resentment that made up its flesh, blood and bones was difficult to control. With a creepy muffled sound, it turned to ashes.

Shen Lian continued walking towards the willow tree as if no one was around.

As for monsters.

The heads of the monsters exploded one after another, and their headless bodies knelt on the ground facing Shen Lian, with their chests and abdomens covered with dense dents from fists and palms.

Even so, the monster still has a chance of survival.

In the eyes of other monsters, it is just bait used to provoke them. When will the blood food auction item become the master?
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

"Not dead? His head was blown up but he's still alive. Monsters are really hard to kill."

Several demons with five hundred years of experience in Taoism could no longer hold back and stopped disguising themselves as vendors selling items. They crawled on all fours, their swollen flesh and blood tearing through their clothes, unable to conceal their greed.

More and more demons joined the auction, and the market was filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves.

The Jinwu guards were shocked and confused.

They always felt that Shen Lian's methods were somewhat similar to those of warriors, but how could a warrior deal with a demon? Perhaps the true meaning of the tide was an unusual phenomenon revealed when the secret technique was performed?

"The brave ones will die of overeating, and the timid ones will die of starvation!!!"

Some Jinwu Guards chose to take the risk, and the rest naturally did not want to miss the opportunity. In an instant, at least twenty or thirty people ran along the road.

The auction became extremely chaotic and the surface order could no longer be maintained.

After recognizing Shen Lian, Wang Xin and others originally planned to fish in troubled waters, but when they saw that the situation was getting out of control, they chose to wait and see.

While they were hesitating, a demon about five or six meters in size pounced towards Shen Lian.

The Jinwu Guards came to the southwest corner of the willow tree. Since they had the old man Qianhu to attract attention, they would get as many auction items as they could.

At this moment, the sound of bones colliding was heard.

Click click click.

The Jinwu Guards looked at Shen Lian in confusion, and then their pupils trembled.

A hundred-meter-long bone spine pierced through the ghost's head, and the splashing blood plasma made the willow branches stained with scarlet spots.

Hey.

What came into their eyes was a monster that was over four meters tall.

The terrifying oppressive feeling of the bronze body was suffocating, and the swinging white bone spine was like a sharp weapon, and no human features could be seen.

"There are only seven ghosts. Well, let's start with the weak ones."

Shen Lian jumped up, and his white bone spine slashed from top to bottom like a sharp weapon, with a bit of the artistic conception of a horizontal sword, and the ghost that was unable to react in time was instantly cut into two halves.

He didn't give the ghost any time to gather its body.

[Appraisal completed, Nine Qi Di Yan experience +0.14%]

Shen Lian grabbed the head of the other ghost and pressed it with his left hand, causing the skull to shatter into pieces.

In just one encounter, all the ghosts with five hundred years of experience were killed suddenly. Their deaths were so quick that it even gave people a sense of absurdity.

The demon stopped forcibly.

They realized that they had hit a wall. What was in front of them was not some bloody food, but a huge demon that had been practicing for two or three thousand years.

The remains of the ghost turned into resentment and flowed into the mouth and nose of the four-meter giant.

All the Jinwu Guards had already come within a hundred meters of the willow tree, but they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling when they saw the horror of Shen Lian transforming into a demon.

Qian Hu? Alchemist? Clearly a big demon! ! !
[Nine Qi Earth Aversion reaches 50.05%, Martial Arts Points +4]

Shen Lian squatted at the foot of the tree and glanced at the hundreds of demons with disdain. No matter whether they were humans or ghosts, they all retreated in unison.

He ignored the demons that gathered around him and looked up at the various items for auction.

Actually.

Shen Lianyuan was not as calm as he appeared.

Are you kidding? Hundreds of demons would be overturned even with endless power, not to mention that the Wisdom Eye is only effective against resentment.

After Shen Lian found that he couldn't kill the monster instantly, he decisively used the ghost to establish his authority.

The reason why he dares to act so unscrupulously is mainly because he can overturn the table.

If the situation is not favorable to him, he will just release the thousand-year-old demon to overturn the table. Anyway, Shen Lian has the supernatural power of wisdom eyes, so it should not be a problem for him to take a few people and escape safely.

"There are quite a few martial arts secret manuals, and there are seven or eight types of horizontal training alone."

Shen Lian glanced at the fruit core, then turned to look at the Jinwu Guards standing by the willow tree, "Do you have any money? Come, give it to me."

The Jinwu Guards looked at each other, then silently took out the silver and money.

They threw all the silver and money at Shen Lian's feet, at least several thousand taels, and watched Shen Lian use their own money to shop.

There was no other way, the Jinwu Guards could only ask Shen Lian to show mercy.

Their current position is very awkward, sandwiched between Shen Lian and a group of demons, and any slight movement would make them turn pale with fear.

Not to mention the Jinwu Guards, Shen Lian's killing spree even made demons feel fearful.

There was even a feeling of sitting on pins and needles.

It was really because those ghosts that had been practicing for 500 years died too easily. The white bone spine released by Shen Lian seemed like a magical weapon, and the protective resentment had no effect at all.

Go up again? Going up again will mean you will die!!!

The entire third floor of the Ghost Market was in a stalemate where no one dared to move.

Only Zhu Yihong, Wang Xin and others escaped the danger. At that time, they realized that they could not get their hands on the auction items, and after much hesitation, they did not choose to go to Liushu.

Now the demons are rioting and the stalls in the market are unattended.

They have fully experienced the joy of buying for zero yuan. Even though the resources on the stalls are far inferior to the auction items, they can get enough in large quantities and do not have to take the subsequent risks caused by ghost market transactions.

"what?"

Shen Lian picked up a secret book and showed surprise on his face.

【Changchun Inner Alchemy Secret Book】

[Created by Liu Qingshan, once mastered, one can breed Changchun Inner Dan in the sixth level of Yuandan. Changchun Inner Dan enriches the Qi and blood, nourishes the internal organs, and adds twenty years to one's lifespan.]

Shen Lian paid twenty-five taels of silver and looked through the Changchun Inner Elixir with great interest.

Groups of demons were still on high alert. Since Shen Lian's deterrent power was too terrifying, they dared not relax and kept howling around the willow tree.

Shen Lian placed his right hand on the coffin and nodded slightly, saying, "It seems that what Sun Dawei said is true. Before warriors became blood eaters, the Jinwu Guards were indeed mainly engaged in practicing martial arts."

Changchun Inner Alchemy is a martial arts method of the sixth level of Yuandan, and should have been derived from Taoist Inner Alchemy.

Shen Lian then found two more volumes of inner alchemy secret books.

【Three Inner Alchemy Secrets】

[Created by Wang Lanfang, after mastering it, one can breed three inner elixirs in the sixth level of Yuandan. The three inner elixirs stabilize the spirit, energy and spirit, and strengthen the foundation. ]

[Secret Book of Hunyuan Inner Alchemy]

[Created by Hunyuanzi, after mastering it, one can breed Hunyuan Inner Dan in the sixth level of Yuandan. Hunyuan Inner Dan refines strength and warms the soul. ]

Based on the limited information, Shen Lian pieced together a thousand years of history in his mind.

"The inner alchemy technique should have originated from the period when the Jinwu Guard martial arts flourished. Since the technique is so moderate and peaceful, it can be seen that there was no demonic chaos in the Tang Dynasty at that time, and the cave was safe and sound."

"That is to say."

"Golden Cicada disappeared first, and mortals became blood food later."

It may have been a hundred or two hundred years, and the disaster caused the collapse of the Journey to the West world, and even made all the immortals and Buddhas disappear."

Shen Lian picked up a few large pills and chewed them to calm his nerves.

The immortals and Buddhas in the world of Journey to the West all have very deep palaces, and it is hard to imagine what kind of disaster would make them disappear.

"First, we should go through Gao Laozhuang and find out what happened to Zhu Bajie in the past thousand years. Maybe we can get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the truth."

Shen Lian suppressed his distracting thoughts and tried to figure out what was so strange about Gao Laozhuang not being impatient and temporarily staying in the ghost pawnshop, waiting for the Gao family to get married.

"By the way, should I practice inner alchemy?"

“You have to practice!”

Shen Lian had a limited vision and was not sure whether the demon's inner alchemy method had any flaws. After all, the inner alchemy technique came from the authentic Taoist school.

The most important thing is that you can continuously improve the quality of Yuandan through the synthesis of inner alchemy, so you must use it if you have a cheat.

While Shen Lian was thinking, he had already swallowed more than a dozen pills.

The surging nutrients flow through the meridians.

While Shen Lian was digesting the nutrients, he put the sorted auction items into the fruit core, which included eight horizontal training methods, seven stance training methods, two fist and palm training methods, five sword training methods, and three secret techniques.

He roughly looked through the secret techniques and found that the secret techniques required a corresponding demonic physique. If he tried to master them by force, it would easily damage the foundation of his martial arts.

Shen Lian casually threw in the fruit core, and the Jinwu Guards were extremely envious when they saw it.

Even within the imperial court, the secret techniques that could be exchanged were extremely rare, and generally could only be obtained through cave dwellings, like Hu Zhanfu.

The big demons sneered at the secret technique, and they secretly guessed that the former came from a cave.

Shen Lian's eyes lit up.

He picked up a black and gray Taoist robe and could see traces of refining on it. It could barely be considered a lower-level magical weapon that could be refined with just physical strength.

Shen Lian's mind moved slightly, and his Taoist robe became about three meters long.

"It would be useless for others, but it solved my urgent need."

Shen Lian plans to have Ghost Dad temper it and it should be durable enough to reach medium quality.

There are also two lower-level magical instruments in the auction, which are used to engrave talismans, a blood-colored inkstone and a talisman pen supported by demon hair.

"Put it on the shelf of the ghost pawn shop. I don't know if there will be any business after it opens."
