I can't be a demon.

Chapter 44: The Strange Corpse Taoist Magical Powers

Shen Lian rested until the afternoon, then went out to the market to select basic items for the corpse Taoist.

By the way, he also took a look at the reaction of the government office. After all, the noise caused by carrying the black wooden coffin was not small, and there was also a mynah bird causing trouble.

But what was unexpected was that the Jinwu Guards didn't seem to have any intention of investigating further.

Almost at dawn, when the resentment that had shrouded the government office had mostly dissipated, the hundreds of warriors who had been stationed there had already returned home one after another.

The rumor about the black coffin man is getting more and more intense in the city, and it is a little ambiguous whether it is a demon or not.

Shen Lian carefully recalled his experience of going in and out of the yamen. Even when he was custom-making the coffin, he maintained his horizontal training throughout the process, so there should be no omissions.

He put his mind at ease and focused on wandering around the market, and indeed found the right item.

A 500-year-old earthenware jar, originally used as a burial object to store grain; rusty coffin rivets; blood-soaked jade stuffed into the mouth of the corpse before burial...

Overall, it fits in very well with the Corpse Taoist.

Shen Lian took everything back to the pawnshop and lay in the recliner thinking secretly.

"Hey."

"They are all related to the dead. It feels too weird. Logically speaking, it would be meaningless to awaken the ability to refine zombies."

Shen Lian pinched his nose bridge with a headache and reached out to take the medicinal food that Fugui handed to him attentively.

To refine corpses, one needs to stay in a place with strong resentment for a long time. Even if magical powers can play an auxiliary role, the refined zombies will inevitably attract the attention of the government.

As a martial arts master and part-time exorcist, there is no need for me to take crooked paths.

"No."

"Besides, these things are really common and don't match the rarity of special professions."

Shen Lian frowned slightly, his eyes subconsciously falling on the banyan tree in the corner of the yard. The branches that had just been picked off not long ago were sprouting new buds again.

He showed his discerning eye.

【Centennial Banyan Tree Identified Successfully】

【Centennial Banyan Tree】

[It has been planted by Shen Tongming since he was a child, and it has been 175 years. Because of the recent sufficient nutrients, it has shown signs of reviving. 】

"Based on the abnormality shown by the banyan tree, there is indeed a possibility that it has transformed into a demon."

Banyan trees are yin, which in a sense also fits the character for corpse Taoist.

Shen Lian’s only concern was the damage to the object. If he was bound to the banyan tree, it would mean that he would most likely not be able to move in the future.

He thought for a moment, "Banyan trees are very easy to propagate by dividing. If you break off a branch and stick it into the soil, it will grow into a sapling. Compared to starlings and bone blades, they seem to be more difficult to damage."

The most important thing is that after a few hundred or thousand years, once the banyan tree becomes a demon, it will be a self-reliant top ten employee, and...

Banyan trees don’t have mouths!!!
"That's it. Binding burial objects will only affect my painting style."

[Is it confirmed that the banyan tree is the root of the corpse Taoist?]

"determine."

[Magic Power: ****]

Shen Lian's head suddenly began to buzz. The reaction of the bound object was stronger than expected, and his five senses suddenly fell into a trance.

"Ah~"

After resting for half a day, the starling flew out of the room and looked at the banyan tree with its head tilted.

The starling has undergone a complete transformation in a short period of time. Its size has increased dramatically and it now looks like a bird of prey.

Click click click.

Bone Blade also opened his mouth and stuck his tongue out of his collar. At the tip of his tongue, one could see a pitch-black eyeball.

Immediately afterwards, in an angle that was invisible to the naked eye, Shen Lian's entire body emanated blood-red smoke.

The smoke and dust looked like vaporized flesh and blood.

"Ah~"

The starling's cry isolated the evil spirit in the yard to prevent the newly born little brother from causing unnecessary trouble.

The blood was surging in the courtyard, becoming more and more intense as time went on.

It was clearly just an invisible gas, but it gradually revealed muscle-like textures. After a moment, blood and energy rushed towards the banyan tree like young swallows returning to their nests.

When the blood energy enveloped the banyan tree, it looked as if the tree had grown flesh and blood.

When Shen Lian came to his senses, the banyan tree had returned to its normal state.

If you look closely, you can see that the veins inside the leaves are like blood vessels.

The starling turned over and continued to sleep.

Bone Blade was already used to playing badly, and when he saw Myna disappear into the room, he also restrained his breath.

[Magic Power: Pregnancy]

[Conceiving: Absorbing the medicinal power of plants and the nutrients of living things to breed great medicine. 】

"kindness?"

The corner of Shen Lian's eyes twitched. He didn't understand what the connection was between the power to conceive and the corpse Taoist. Shouldn't the two be completely unrelated?
He took out half a pound of medicinal materials that were left over from cooking the medicinal food and was stunned for a moment.

"Should we bury the herbs under the tree? That's too much trouble."

After studying for a long time, Shen Lian discovered that the banyan tree was actually hollow. There was a tree hole at the top of the trunk that could accommodate an adult. The inside of the tree hole was extremely dry and the temperature was much higher than the outside world.

He placed the herbs in the tree hole, and then used his magical power to conceive.

After Shen Lian waited patiently for a day and a night, an inconspicuous green fruit grew on the branch, with a faint medicinal fragrance.

【Blood-replenishing fruit】

【Grown from the banyan tree, it has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, nourishing and beautifying the skin after taking it. 】

Shen Lian threw it into his mouth and chewed it. The taste he found was as bitter as the medicinal herbs. After swallowing it into his stomach, it brought in nutrients continuously.

"call."

The yin and yang forces digest nutrients and speed up blood flow. It can be seen that the blood-replenishing fruit can significantly promote blood refining.

Shen Lian closed his eyes and circulated the Yin and Yang energy. It took two hours for the nutrients to be completely used up.

You know, it only takes ten minutes for the giant stomach to digest the medicinal food, and the blood-replenishing fruit can definitely be used as an aid to daily practice.

"but……"

Shen Lian had a strange expression on his face.

He could guess with his toes that the corpse Taoist gained experience from the corpses of monsters, and the elixirs produced by the corpses must be far superior to ordinary ones.

Shen Lian went to buy a few kilograms of two or three years old medicinal herbs.

As a result, no matter what medicinal materials were used, the only thing that was produced in the end was the blood-replenishing fruit.

If the medicinal materials are younger, the banyan tree will need to consume more medicinal materials to grow, and the nutrients of the blood-replenishing fruit will not be the same.

Shen Lian was amazed.

"Don't dwell on the connection between pregnancy and corpse. It would be great if I could have the ability to make elixirs."

"Ordinary medicinal herbs are not expensive. When converted, the blood-replenishing fruit is even more cost-effective than medicinal food, hehehe."

After careful consideration, Shen Lian gave up the idea of ​​selling blood-replenishing fruit.

The same elixir fruit keeps appearing in the market, which will cause trouble sooner or later, not to mention that the blood-replenishing fruit that looks like elixir and fruit is too magical.

Shen Lian stuffed the blood-replenishing fruit into a gourd and soaked it in wine to drink.

Little did people know that the blood-replenishing fruit shook inexplicably the moment it came into contact with the alcohol.

"Comfortable."

Shen Lian slept against the banyan tree, and his days were filled with elixirs and wine.

During this period, he wanted to go to the ghost market to make some money, but the ghost market was not opened for a month, which indirectly proved that the starling had caused quite a stir.

Shen Lian concentrated on practicing the breath-holding method, and used the same strength to carefully stimulate the heart acupoints. The difficulty of the breath-holding method is that it can easily damage the heart.

I spent most of the month leisurely.

Shen Lian almost forgot about his cheap father.

until.

The carriage with the logo of Shen's Pawn Shop stopped at the west gate of Yanliang Town at some point.
