I can't be a demon.

Chapter 271 Fifth-level Occupation [Infinite Corpse Roots]

Zuo Yan narrowed his eyes and noticed that the visitor only had a tiger head.

He was very familiar with it. The other party's internal skills were of the same lineage as the one he had practiced before, and the Taoist tradition came from the Great Immortal Huli of [Chechi Kingdom].

At the same time, the bodies of the wild dogs also looked strange and inexplicable.

When the corpse was almost completely decayed, a thick layer of fungal carpet covered the ground, which actually gave off a cold and sinister aura.

The energy of Huangquan seems to be bottomless, and seems to be connected to the eighteen levels of hell.

The tiger-headed Taoist priest fiddled with the corpse, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

Zuo Yan's eyes turned red. He could sense the magic power leaking out of the tiger-headed alchemist. It seemed that he was performing a special secret technique to collect the energy of the underworld.

His first reaction was that Che Chiguo was up to something.

As far as I can remember, the Taoist tradition of the Three Immortals of Chechi Kingdom is extremely mixed, with many unconventional methods, especially that of the Immortal Huli.

"You dare!"

Zuo Yan's muscles swelled and he turned into an extremely sturdy tiger beast.

Seeing this, the tiger-headed alchemist retreated repeatedly.

"calm."

"This is the disaster caused by the Little Leiyin Temple. It has nothing to do with our Chechi Nation!"

The Tiger-Headed Alchemist clearly had the ability to reach the eighth level of spiritual realm, but he appeared extremely restrained in the face of Zuo Yan's hostility and withdrew his magic power at the first opportunity.

"The Chechi Kingdom has no ill intentions, they are just trying to identify the source of the anomalies in the Yanshan area."

He explained with a wry smile, "I heard that Immortal Shen is the reincarnation of Lü Zu, and Lü Dongbin is also considered the founder of Taoism in the mortal world. The three demon immortals of Chechi Kingdom are also proficient in Taoism."

"The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, Junior Brother Zuo."

Zuo Yan stared at the tiger-headed Taoist priest vigilantly, "What's your name?"

"I am Taoist Qingshan." Taoist Qingshan was sweating profusely and his eyes were rolling around.

Just now, he could feel at least seven or eight peeping eyes scanning him, and at the same time, several inexplicable figures appeared on the nearby streets.

The creeping shadows in the corners; the two little girls playing on the rooftops; the majestic and solemn statues in the temples; the thriving banyan trees...

They are all demons!!
Among them, there are many who have practiced Taoism for tens of thousands of years, a number that far exceeds Che Chiguo’s previous knowledge.

Lü Zu Temple? Lü Dongbin was a land immortal who slew demons and monsters when he was alive. How could you enjoy raising demons in your reincarnation? ! !
Taoist Qingshan swallowed his saliva.

If Xiao Leiyin Temple had not been deeply involved, he would not have rashly exposed himself to check the corpse.

"Ah~~"

A crow flew by and landed on a branch not far away.

Taoist Qingshan trembled all over. Even though he did not sense the aura of a demon, his instinctive fear indicated that it was another ten-thousand-year-old demon.

Are you kidding? There are only three monsters in Chechi Kingdom that have been practicing Taoism for thousands of years.

In the seemingly ordinary mortal town, the number of ten-thousand-year-old demons is far beyond imagination, and they can actually live in peace with the mortals with abundant energy and blood.

The Little Leiyin Temple will not be built for another ten years, but strange things have already happened.

Taoist Qingshan did not dare to offend Lu Zu Temple. After all, if Xiao Leiyin Temple was completely out of control, he might have to rely on the protection of Yanshan to survive.

"Master Qingshan, what's going on with the Little Leiyin Temple?"

"The Little Leiyin Temple is a very dangerous cave. The demons inside are all very powerful and are related to the legendary Lingshan Mountain."

"Lingshan?"

"Yes, so the demon is also called [Evil Buddha]. If I am not mistaken, the anomaly in the Yanshan area comes from [Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva]."

Taoist Qingshan breathed heavily and pointed at the fungal carpet on the ground.

"The Yellow Springs Qi only exists in the underworld. Any mortal who is contaminated by it will surely die. The reason why it only affects dogs is probably because..."

Taoist Qingshan hesitated for a few breaths, then lowered his voice and said, "As expected, it was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mount, Di Ting, that was causing trouble."

"Diti will arrive in the mortal world before Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"Gah?"

The starling tilted its head, revealing a look of wisdom.

Zuo Yan couldn't help but sneak a peek at the starling's reaction. The latter's true identity was Di Ting.

"Ah~ Little Leiyin Temple~"

The starling flapped its wings and disappeared.

Taoist Qingshan didn't understand what was going on. Just as he was about to reply, he saw another person quietly appear beside him.

“Thank you, Daoist Brother Qingshan, for your enlightenment. I have heard about the incident at the Little Leiyin Temple.

"Neither Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nor Di Ting has appeared yet. From now on, I will ask the Yanshan area to pay more attention."

Shen Lian has returned to his normal state, and his martial arts realm has been completely restrained, but the people in the city are still in seclusion to improve their cultivation.

The ghost gourd floated in the air, and the underworld energy brought by the dog corpse poured into the magic weapon.

"I have met Immortal Shen. If you have anything else to do, I will go back to the cave first."

Taoist Qingshan fled from Yanliang Town, fearing that Shen Lian would let him stay overnight.

Shen Lian put away the ghost gourd and ignored Taoist Qingshan.

"According to Bodhisattva Guanyin, the people in Little Leiyin Temple are all demons pretending to be Buddhas, but the aura of Huangquan is so pure, which proves that the evil Buddhas cannot be just in appearance."

"The so-called evil Buddha, can't he really have some of the magical powers of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

Shen Lian's expression was solemn. Judging from the reactions of the various caves, the Little Leiyin Temple was by no means simple. Even the evil Buddha had made the fake look real.

The thought of a group of Buddhas possessing demonic powers and taboos is horrifying.

"Captain Zuo, it won't be long before the people start to wake up one after another. Some warriors will inevitably lose control of their emotions due to the surge of qi and blood."

"I immediately started to prepare and contacted the government offices in various towns in Yanshan to maintain order."

Zuo Yan left in a hurry. Shen Lian opened his eyes with his eyebrows raised. The martial arts realm baptized all living beings. Almost everyone in the Yanshan area was a martial arts disciple, and there were countless innate martial artists.

There are already thousands of Yuandan warriors, fifteen of whom have reached perfection, and my father Shen Hansheng is also among them.

Shen Lian seemed a little unwilling.

As he advanced in his career, he increasingly felt the difficulty of accumulating experience.

Even though he could travel through the caves, the demons were already deliberately avoiding him. Unless he caused a huge disturbance, he would not gain much.

The experience gained from operating the salt mountain is growing day by day.

Shen Lian had to admit that as long as the trade route to Yanshan was open, the demons in the Tang Dynasty would rush into the flame like moths.

Moreover, when the qi and blood emitted by warriors become strong, demons may easily arise.

If the population of the Tang Dynasty dropped sharply, his attainment of immortality would also be deeply affected.

"There are still ten years left. If the lotus platform and the banyan tree can be promoted to the sixth level, they may be able to deal with the Little Leiyin Temple with their magical powers."

Shen Lian came to the backyard of the pawn shop. The banyan tree was more than 30 meters tall. Its shade covered most of the block and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.

For ordinary people, bathing in the fragrance of medicine for a long time is enough to prolong their life.

Shen Lian summoned the career panel.

[Wanshou Corpse Root is promoted to Wuliang Corpse Root, martial arts points +100]

[Corpse Roots Pregnant: Actively absorbs nutrients from underground within a large range and nurtures all living things.]

The information about the fifth-level magical power of nurturing creatures seems simple, but in fact the roots of the banyan tree have spread to a range of thousands of miles. Not long after the promotion, the career panel has repeatedly displayed prompts.

The experience comes from the monsters underground thousands of miles away, most of which are ghosts.

As soon as the Infinite Corpse Root was promoted, the experience progress was already 25%. Now, in just a few breaths, it has gained a huge amount of experience, and buds have sprouted on the branches.

[Infinite Corpse Roots reached 30.01%, Martial Arts Points +20]

Shen Lian communicated with the supernatural power of conceiving creatures and found that he was able to digest the middle-level Buddhist teachings.

Without hesitation, he threw the four sutras into the alchemy furnace, including the "Prajna" given to him by Senior Brother Sha.

[Absorb the Tathagata Sutra (fragment), infinite corpse root experience +9.76%]

[Absorb the Avalokitesvara Sutra (fragment), infinite corpse root experience +6.56%]

[Absorb the Avalokitesvara Sutra (fragment), infinite corpse root experience +8.12%]

[Absorb the Samantabhadra Sutra (fragment), infinite corpse root experience +7.02%]

Shen Lian hesitated for a few breaths, and the Guanyin Willow Leaf also became the pistil of the Dan Fruit on the branch. In the end, the experience of the Infinite Corpse Root stagnated at 77.04%.
The points returned to 304.

"Both the Infinite Corpse Root and the Rebirth Sandalwood Chan have exceeded 70%, and promotion to the sixth level is just around the corner."

If everything goes well, Shen Lian can even try to reach the seventh level, and with the cultivation of the ninth level of the Heavenly Palace, Xiao Leiyin Temple is not without confidence.

"The main problem is that you need to synthesize professions at level 6."

"Wangsheng Tanchan is related to Jinchanzi. Where can there be a profession related to Jinchanzi?"

"It is the Infinite Corpse Roots. There is a cave that must be enough for the banyan tree to advance to the sixth level."

Shen Lian took out the Wanhu token and contacted Su Yu who was far away in the capital, asking the latter to help look up the information about the Wuzhuang Temple.

Not long after, Su Yu replied in a telepathic voice, and there was indeed a lot of relevant information.

Unlike Xiao Leiyin Temple, the Jinwu Guards had mistakenly entered Wuzhuang Temple many times.

The earliest can be traced back to six hundred years ago.

All the Jinwu Guards were trapped in Wuzhuang Temple without exception. The imperial court could still detect through magic tools that they were still alive, but Wuzhuang Temple was like a bottomless pit that people could only enter but not exit.

The imperial court had figured out the taboos of Wuzhuang Temple, so it was not difficult to go there.

Shen Lian let out a long sigh.

"Since Wuzhuang Temple has been destroyed, it is highly likely that Zhenyuan Daxian is not in the cave."

Zhen Yuan Da Xian is the ancestor of earthly immortals, and his holy name is "Yu Shi Tong Jun". In the original work, he was invited by Yuan Shi Tian Zun to go to heaven to listen to a lecture on Hun Yuan Dao Guo.

There are probably only two Taoist children, Qingfeng and Mingyue, in the cave.

"It's hard to say. The world of Journey to the West has collapsed. Who knows what's going on in Wuzhuang Temple?"

Shen Lian secretly had a headache. What is an earthly immortal? In the original version of Journey to the West, those immortals who stayed in the mortal world and were only listed in the immortal register were classified as earthly immortals.

The cultivation level of the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple can be seen from this.

"According to the taboos explored by the court, maybe we can directly breed the teleportation tree of Wuzhuang Temple. Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can consider other things."

Shen Lian reached out and took a pill from the branch, then used blood to sacrifice it.

His soul performed the Purple Mansion Tempering Technique, and the elixir absorbed the nutrients of the blood bit by bit, and then a faint demonic aura slowly emanated.

"Wow wow wow."

Dan Guo grew facial features and started crying like a baby.

"It's easier than I thought. I thought it would take at least a hundred days of sacrifice to create a life. All I need to do next is wait for the Dan Guo cultivation to reach a thousand years, and then forcibly use the Purple Mansion Tempering Method to reshape it into a baby..."

"kindness?"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows, and the pill fruit grew legs and flew out of his palm.

As soon as it landed on the ground, the elixir fruit merged into the soil without a trace, then began to take root and sprout, growing into a new teleportation tree.

"Previously, teleportation trees had to use the ability to breed creatures to breed corresponding fruits. How could it be so easy? It's weird..."

The teleportation tree is also quite unique, with its roots on the ground and its branches underground.

The roots are full of dried fruits, which look like human heads at first glance. After picking them off, the fruits turn into a handful of ashes.

Every aspect reveals the extraordinaryness of Wuzhuang Temple.

Shen Lian patted the banyan tree and said, "Could the ginseng fruit tree have become a demon?"
