I can't be a demon.

Chapter 33: White Bone Spirit [Corpse Transformation Sutra]

After Shen Lian broke through [Bone Refining], he did not stabilize his strength until dawn.

Before we knew it, the early spring morning sunshine enveloped Yanliang Town. As the weather warmed up, farmers were already preparing for the next farming season.

Old Wang and others were tidying up the courtyard, discussing the holes all over the ground caused by Shen Lian's martial arts practice.

Shen Lian opened his eyes.

With the abundant nutrients brought by the yellow sand, the wounds caused by the half-demon have already scabbed over, but the erosion of the demonic energy will inevitably cause loss of qi and blood.

From this we can see that Bai Haibo’s belief that warriors cannot fight against demons is not false.

No matter demonic energy or resentment, they can indeed suppress the blood and energy of warriors abnormally. When facing demons, mortals don't even have the strength to fight back.

Of course, with the giant stomach food supplement, Shen Lian’s qi and blood deficiency can be easily solved. Eating a few mouthfuls of sand can replenish his qi and blood.

"A warrior is walking on thin ice, and I don't know what magical powers the alchemist has."

Shen Lian looked at the tidal force. The force had already occupied three-fifths of his dantian. When his attention was focused, he could hear the sound of the surging tide.

As soon as the tidal force was activated, a tingling pain began to appear between the spine bones.

The progress of bone refining was silent.

After the bone marrow has been tempered by strength, the martial artist's qi and blood will surge, but in the eyes of demons it will become more and more delicious.

Shen Lian could feel that the bone-refining effect of the superior strength was far superior to that of the Zhulang strength.

Even without external help, one can reach the last stage of foundation building [Blood Refining] within half a year, which means that becoming a warrior is just around the corner.

Shen Lian scanned the martial arts column on the career panel.

[Martial arts: Tidal Posture (Sea Tide), Iron Body Kung Fu (Iron Body), Tidal Fist (Great Mastery), Golden Bell Cover (Minor Mastery)]

The Golden Bell Cover was not far from perfection, and the advancement of the Tide-Strike Fist was an unexpected surprise, purely because of the transformation of the stance method.

"Now there are only 4 points left, which should be enough to combine the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Body Skill. If there is no third profession, then just keep playing badly."

Shen Lian stretched.

He planned to get up and help take care of the yard.

After the three demons worked together to loosen the soil in the courtyard, it can be used to grow some fruits and vegetables to satisfy people's daily cravings.

The banyan tree in the corner has three half-demon corpses as nutrients, and it seems to have sprouted.

At this time.

"Ah~ Master Ba is here~"

The mynah bird flew into the room through the window and landed triumphantly in front of Shen Lian.

When Shen Lian saw the starling's shiny feathers, he couldn't help but call up the profession panel, only to find that Jiu'er Chaofeng's experience had reached 18.32%.

It was obvious that the starling had done a lot of good things diligently last night.

Shen Lian even suspected that part of the experience was provided by ghosts. After all, Starling went in and out of the ghost market seven times.

"As expected of you, Master Eight."

"Ah~ Master Ba is taking action, one is worth two~"

Shen Lian smiled, took out some red-skinned peanuts and fed them to the starling diligently.

With just a pawn shop, it is unknown when he can be promoted to the Nine-Eared Official. Shen Lian can't help but feel relieved to see that Myna is self-reliant.

Then the mynah bird threw out Hu Baochang's fake eye and started shaking its head.

Shen Lian had a strange expression on his face, and he used his keen eyes to see through things.

[Corpse Eye Identification Successfully]

【Corpse Eye】

[Made by the Jinwu Guards, after transplantation, one can directly see the true form of ghosts, and it has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the spirit, and refining the inner strength. ]

"kindness?"

The corners of Shen Lian's eyes twitched and his expression became extremely ugly.

"Myna, you are not a crow. Have some integrity and stop picking up things for no reason!" "Stupid~"

Shen Lian naturally didn't think that the starling could attack and kill the Jinwu Guards. It was most likely that it was snatched away from the government office. The starling was really brave.

He stood up and walked to the window to look around. There was no noticeable increase in the number of yamen runners patrolling the streets. Perhaps it was some discarded debris from a warehouse.

Shen Lian quickly closed the window and played with the lifelike artificial eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this thing can actually be considered a [Magic Weapon], but the method of refining it is weird, it actually requires digging out the eyes and transplanting them."

Shen Lian thought of the well-known magical weapons in Journey to the West, and always felt that the way the Jinwu Guards refined the weapons was a bit... biased?
"Being able to see the true form of a ghost is somewhat similar to the Yin-Yang eyes that can distinguish between humans and ghosts."

Shen Lian looked at it for a moment, then brought the sunlight close to his eyes. His vision became blurry, as if there was a layer of gauze between them.

[The 'Corpse Taoist' occupation has been triggered, but the necessary conditions are missing and the job cannot be taken.]

Shen Lian was stunned.

He tried again and again, and the career panel kept giving out prompts.

"Hiss, another special profession."

"Corpse Taoist? I feel like although it's better than a half-demon, it's also a crooked way of doing things."

Shen Lian muttered to himself, "The Buddha Oil Sutra records the method of entering the demon realm, so the occupation panel detected the half-demon occupation. Then...what is the basis for the false eye to trigger the prompt?"

He picked up the artificial eye and moved around the room with his blurred vision.

When the artificial eye alternated between light and dark, the view became more difficult to distinguish, and Shen Lian vaguely saw some fine words flash by.

"Inheritance of martial arts? The inheritance of the martial arts of the Jinwu Guards?"

Shen Lian was overjoyed. He thought that the conditions for becoming a corpse Taoist should be within the scope of the martial arts.

He patiently adjusted the angle of his fake eye, and after a moment, the first dozen words came into view, which seemed a little ambiguous at first glance.

[Gradually it becomes wider from narrow, and at one end, the skin and flesh rot and fall off, and the bones are visible, and then the whole body is covered with bones.]

"It seems to be internal energy, right? Internal energy related to bones?"

Shen Lian looked a little solemn. Since the artificial eye contained the inherited martial arts skills of the Jinwu Guards, why did it reveal so much weirdness?

He devoted all his attention to the artificial eye, and only occasionally took a few sips of medicinal wine mixed with yellow sand.

As the sun set and the moon rose, the subsequent content was revealed bit by bit. Shen Lian only felt that it was a little more tiring than refining his body with a stone hammer, and it was really tiring for his eyes.

The name of this skill is [Corpse Transformation Sutra], and it feels familiar.

"Something's wrong."

Shen Lian licked his pale lips, because the familiar feeling might have come from Journey to the West.

He stared intently. Only the beginning of the Corpse Transformation Sutra was normal. The crazy content later became more and more weird until the picture on the last page was revealed.

The picture shows an absurd scene.

On a mountain of piled bones, there is a skeleton dressed in gorgeous clothes.

In the flickering light and darkness of the fake eyes, the white skeletons turned into beautiful women, and the original mountains of bones turned into Buddhist temples.

"White Bone Demon..."

The White Bone Demon is the 20th difficulty in Journey to the West. She is also known as the White Bone Lady or the Corpse Demon. She is formed by a female corpse absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Although she seemed to be of ordinary strength, it actually took Monkey King three blows to kill the White Bone Demon.

During this period, Monkey King did not even realize that the White Bone Demon had faked her death and had reborn into a corpse, and that Monkey King still had the ability to restrain himself with his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.

"Could it be that the Buddha Oil Sutra is not some kind of evil magic?"

"All the internal skills are related to a peerless demon from the world of Journey to the West. The Jinwu Guards are using the demon's methods to slay it."

"Where is the true body of that peerless demon? Where have the immortals and Buddhas gone?"

Shen Lian didn't understand why, and always felt that this world was becoming more and more mysterious.
