I can't be a demon.

Chapter 93: Advancing to the Sixth Level of Yuan Dan
Shen Lian spent several hundred taels and bought most of the auction items.

He could feel that every time the money disappeared out of thin air, his sixth sense would vaguely sense something was wrong.

"It should be the number of transactions that caused the taboo in the Ghost Market. Next time I come, I'm afraid I'll be dragged into the fourth level of the Ghost Market. It's going to be difficult."

Shen Lian smiled awkwardly but showed no intention of stopping.

Make enough money first.

Anyway, with Gao Laozhuang around, it won’t take long for Jiuqi Diyan to be promoted to the fourth level, and his wisdom eye supernatural power will still be invincible in the depths of the Ghost Market.

Shen Lian glanced at the top of the willow tree.

Unexpectedly, the starling didn't seem to cause any trouble since it came to the ghost market, and it just stayed quietly on the branches to get some fresh air.

"Myna is becoming more and more sensible. He understands the principle of being a grandson first and then a grandfather."

The starling raised its head in disdain and secretly pecked at the tree trunk with its beak.

The willow tree may look ordinary, but its internal structure is flesh and blood, and it even has blood vessel-like tissue that is wriggling slightly.

The starling lowered its head and spat out a fish fruit, burying it in the hole it had pecked.

The demonic aura nourishes the fish fruit.

"Ah~"

The fish flesh withered, and then the roots quietly extended into the willow tree. After a while, the holes on the surface of the willow tree had healed.

The mynah bird showed an intelligent look, glanced at Shen Lian who was feeling smug about getting the auction item for free, and shook his head in disappointment.

Petty!!!

After Shen Lian filled his box with fruit cores, the remaining items for auction were all herbs and minerals.

The ore takes up too much storage space and the herbs are difficult to preserve.

"Eat it, don't waste it."

Shen Lian picked up half a pound of diamond and looked at the information from the identification by his wise eyes. It should be a good material for making weapons and armor.

[Take diamond, sharp-toothed warrior experience +0.03%]

"The ghost market is really fair. The resentment contained in the auction items is so thin. Are you afraid that there will be no repeat customers?"

The taste.

Well, it tastes slightly sweet when chewed, but then the tip of the tongue becomes bitter.

The Jinwu Guards were horrified. Diamond, a mineral that can only be dissolved at high temperatures, was swallowed by the big demon as a snack.

Next, there was another plant of poisonous fishwort.

You know, the toxicity of the blood snake grass is also effective against monsters that are two or three hundred years old, but now it has become an appetizer to fill the teeth.

Hiccup~

The magical power of food supplement took effect and began to transform into nutrients in a moment.

Shen Lian had a strange expression on his face.

Perhaps it was because it had once been integrated into the Golden Bell Cover, the magical power of food supplements, while being digested, was actually accompanied by the tempering of the skin and flesh.

"I remember there were several martial arts techniques that used poison among the items for auction."

Shen Lian flipped out a secret book titled [Poisoned Body]. The practice was to stimulate the transformation of flesh and blood by taking trace amounts of toxins.

"Hehe, just right."

He closed his eyes and guided the toxin into his blood vessels. If he practiced normally, he would need to use all his strength to protect his internal organs until the toxin was completely eliminated.

Shen Lian just needs to eat. The medicinal materials on the third floor of the Ghost Market are only two or three hundred years old. Not to mention poisoning him to death, they can't even make him have diarrhea.

sizzle.

The flesh and blood made a sound, and in the blink of an eye, martial arts were revealed on the profession panel.

[Poison-Tempered Body (First Look)]

Shen Lian kept swallowing, and the Yin and Yang energy involuntarily gathered in his Dantian, and extremely thick smoke rose from his body.

Although the smell was obscured by black smoke, the Jinwu Guards could still identify it at a glance.

Shen Lian was practicing as if no one was around, and he didn't even take the two or three hundred demons seriously. However, no demon dared to come forward.

More than a dozen headless monsters had just breathed their last.

Shen Lian stopped chewing.

"It seems to be... an opportunity to advance to the sixth level of Yuan Dan?"

Shen Lian came to his senses belatedly and felt the huge whirlpool in his dantian. His flesh, blood and bones were cheering for the upcoming transformation.

He patted the restless coffin and used his concentration to control the Yin and Yang energy to compress it.

I originally wanted to give it a try, but as the speed of the Yin and Yang energy circulation increased, a translucent pill gradually appeared in the center of the vortex.

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows. Next, he just needed to pour his strength into the pill and reconstruct the Yuandan according to the records of the demon's internal energy. This would be considered as entering the first stage of the six stages of Yuandan [Xudan Stage].

It may only take twenty to thirty minutes.

The six stages of Yuandan are the Xudan stage, Yangdan stage, Shidan stage, Liandan stage, Gudan stage and the perfect Podan stage.

"With my strong foundation, it is only natural for me to advance to the sixth level of Yuan Dan."

"But even if you want to break through, you still need to use inner alchemy as a foundation."

Shen Lian hesitated for a few moments and took out the Hunyuan Inner Pill.

Although the three inner alchemy techniques are very flexible in terms of candidates, Hunyuan Inner Alchemy is definitely more in line with the Yin-Yang power, and Hunyuan Inner Alchemy is the only method that can nourish the soul.

[Do you want to consume 2 points to master Hunyuan Inner Pill?]

"Hiss, it only takes 2 points to get started, so it should be 20 points to reach the perfect level."

Shen Lian confirmed silently.

As a method that was established thousands of years ago, Neidan is filled with a lot of obscure and difficult to understand content. It is really difficult for him to understand it word by word.

The moment I entered the realm of Hunyuan Inner Alchemy, a large number of related memories emerged in my mind.

The vortex formed by the Yin and Yang forces stagnated, and mysterious changes occurred faintly, and talisman-like patterns appeared on the surface of the translucent pill.

"It used to take half an hour to complete, but now it takes at least two days."

[Do you want to consume 4 points to advance to martial arts: Hunyuan Inner Alchemy (minor success)]

"determine."

The lines on the pill's surface became clearer, all the yin and yang energies were mobilized, and even some lines spread within the dantian.

The flesh, blood and bones are frantically absorbing the nutrients in the stomach.

Shen Lian was a little surprised that the Minor Success Hunyuan Inner Pill could not only speed up the formation of the Yuandan, but also promote the transformation of the Dantian. [Do you want to consume 10 points and advance to Martial Arts: Hunyuan Inner Pill (Great Success)]

boom.

There was a loud noise inside Shen Lian's body, and 80% of the nutrients in his Dantian suddenly were robbed. Then the lines on his Dantian deepened, and his Yin-Yang energy became more refined.

"The transformation of Dantian is likely based on the nurturing of Yuandan. The opportunity is fleeting, and 20 points really cannot be saved."

[Do you want to consume 20 points to advance to martial arts: Hunyuan Inner Alchemy (Perfect)]

The points have shrunk to 42, which is still within an acceptable range. After all, being in Gao Laozhuang, the points are not enough to cover expenses.

Shen Lian took a deep breath.

The white bone spine flashed by, and there was no auction item at all on the willow branch.

"determine."

When the Hunyuan Inner Pill reached perfection, Shen Lian's heartbeat frequency increased, and the sound it made was like striking a bronze bell.

The Jinwu Guards only felt their internal energy surging up, and blood oozing out of their mouths and noses.

Groups of demons became restless.

Even though their fear increased instead of decreased, they could not suppress their instinctive appetite, as if... as if eating Shen Lian under the willow tree could increase their Taoism by a hundred years out of thin air!

The Jinwu Guards were on pins and needles, stuck in the middle and unable to escape.

However, what puzzled them was that the demon with five hundred years of Taoism was ready to move, but why was the thousand-year-old demon in the coffin not moving at all?
The starling tilted its head to preen its feathers, then landed on the coffin.

"Goo?"

The coffin lid shook, as if it was trying hard to suppress its fear.

No one knows the horror of this crow better than the ghost on Yongcui Street. It looks like an ordinary bird, but its true form is shocking.

It...can devour the practice of ghosts.

In a sense, the starling in the eyes of the cotton-wool ghost is equivalent to the demon in the eyes of ordinary people. They are completely in a relationship of superiors and subordinates in the food chain.

Groups of demons approached tentatively little by little.

The starling opened its beak, and its blood-red eyes were faintly peeking out, but it was a little hesitant because it was concerned about the banyan tree parasitizing the willow tree.

The cotton-wool ghost was so frightened that he nearly collapsed, realizing that if he just sat there and waited for death, something terrible would happen, and all the demons present would die, including himself.

dong dong dong.

The coffin shook violently.

Thousands of years of resentment leaked out, and cotton wool began to grow in the cracks on the ground in the ghost market.

The groups of demons stopped in their tracks, the threat of death suppressing their appetite. At the same time, the man under the willow tree also opened his eyes.

"Calm down!"

Shen Lian slapped the coffin, and the thousand-year-old demon let out a heart-wrenching wail. At least thirty years of his cultivation were destroyed.

The hordes of demons did not dare to act rashly, and the situation fell into a stalemate again.

The starling closed its beak and flew back to the branch to continue feeding the fish.

Shen Lian used his consciousness to look at his Dantian. The lines inside and outside the organ appeared faintly visible, and among them was a Yuandan the size of a soybean.

The Yuan Dan naturally absorbs and releases powerful energy, which circulates along the meridians. Whenever it passes through the upper Dantian, the soul is also nourished.

"The improvement in physical strength should be around 50% to 60%."

Shen Lian summoned the career panel.

【Shen Lian】

[Realm: Yuandan (Xudan)]

[Martial arts: Yin-Yang Qi Posture (Yin-Yang Hunyuan), Immortal Bronze Body (Bronze Body Dharma), Hunyuan Inner Alchemy (Hunyuan Qi Sea), Sea Tide Fist (Tide)...]

【Points: 42】

[Level 50.05 Occupation: Nine Qi Earth Hatred (%)]

[Level 23.77 Occupation: Giant Ram (%)]

[Level 3.61 Occupation: Dandan Lead Corpse (%)]

.........

The characteristic of Hunyuan Inner Elixir is Hunyuan Qi Hai. Qi Hai is another name for the lower Dantian. It can be seen that it has indeed contributed to the transformation of the lower Dantian.

"However, there is a slight gap between the Yin-Yang Power and the operation of the Yuan Dan."

[Do you want to consume 4 points to synthesize Hunyuan Inner Pill and Yinyang Qi Pillar?]

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment and guessed that the桩法 should be a simplified version of the inner alchemy, or in other words, the桩法 was created based on the inner alchemy.

"determine."

The Yin and Yang energy circulated around the Yuan Dan, and then the two became one.

The increase in strength is minimal, and its main purpose is to prevent the strength from going astray. After all, Yuandan is the most critical foundation.

[Yin Yang Qi Posture (Hun Yuan Qi Sea)]

Shen Lian stretched lazily with satisfaction and put the coffin back on his back.

"The demon's special ability seems to have changed as well, but let's go back to the Ghost Pawn Shop to explore the details. The physical strength needs time to stabilize."

"Huh? Why is the willow tree withering?"

The leaves on the branches of the willow tree have begun to fall, and new buds are sprouting, but their shapes seem different from those of the willow tree.

Shen Lian looked towards the entrance of the Ghost Market, and the resentment that shrouded the entrance slowly dissipated.

"The auction is almost over."

No need to remind, the starling has disappeared without a trace.

Shen Lian walked towards the entrance and the groups of demons made way for him. The Jinwu Guards, who had made a wasted trip, also took the opportunity to leave the ghost market.

Whoosh.

The white bone spine broke through the air.

Before leaving the ghost market, Shen Lian used his skeleton spine to roll up the nearest ghost as a gift, and disappeared before attracting the counterattack of the demon.

At midnight, he took a carriage back to Yongcui Street.

However, in just one night, Gao Village seemed to become more... festive.
