I can't be a demon

Apes need to use their big toes to hold branches to climb, so they do have the same structure, but it's hard to say. After all, Sanxin Taoist has become a demon, and it's normal for his limbs to be deformed.

"There were no footprints when Taichuxin appeared, and we don't know what the structure of his feet was."

Shen Lian was terrified when he thought about it, and he couldn't guess the situation of Bodhi Patriarch a thousand years ago.

It stands to reason that Bodhi Patriarch, as one of the most mysterious immortals in Journey to the West, would not let the cave fall silently, right?

Nian'er's exclamation beside him interrupted Shen Lian's thoughts, "Brother, Nian'er's insects suddenly died a lot."

"Those bad guys stepped on all the insects that Nian'er kept outside the door!!"

Nian'er complained with a frustrated face, gesturing with both hands.

The mass deaths of insect ghosts were not caused by the red-robed old Taoist, but by some alchemists who appeared near the store and killed them.

"It's okay, Nian'er."

Shen Lian touched Nian'er's head and squinted his eyes to look around.

The alchemist's method was extremely covert. I don't know if it was intentional, but he was already testing the store, which made the ghost mother a little impatient.

Shen Lian communicated with the ghost mother consciously, asking the latter to focus on the three-heart secret technique.

He stretched out his hand.

Blood flowed out from the palm of his hand, and after a moment, it turned into a red stone the size of a fingernail, exuding an aura that demons could not refuse.

"Nian'er, use it to raise insects, it should be able to live longer."

"Brother, it hurts."

Nian'er grabbed Shen Lian's palm, blew on the wound, then took the red stone with a tangled face, and got behind the counter to fiddle with it.

Shen Lian drank a sip of medicinal wine, and the loss of blood was harmless.

He had considered providing some of his own blood to the ghost father and the other two, but he was mainly afraid that taking blood food for a long time would affect his sanity and completely become a mindless demon, so he let it go.

Shen Lian walked slowly to the corner, and Zishu and the other man sat in front of the door of the inner room to visualize the statue of Tianpeng.

Qinghe would compare his ghost father's practice from time to time and try to learn the Three Heart Secret Art.

Zishu was also preparing for the second immortal bone.

"Zishu Junior Brother, who is the Three Heart Taoist in red?"

Zishu opened his eyes and did not find any traces in the lobby at first, until Shen Lian asked about the difference in the Three Heart Taoist's clothes.

His heart skipped a beat and his eyes swept across the lobby.

There were faint bloody footprints on the ground, and he immediately realized that another Three Heart Taoist had entered the store, and he was also looking for Shen Lian.

Could it be that the Three Heart Taoists were all vying to accept Shen Lian as their apprentice?

Qinghe listened attentively, and although he did not mean to interrupt, he could clearly feel the degree of danger of the Evil Moon Three Heart Cave.

Zishu said in a deep voice: "Brother Shen, you don't know that most of the time, you can really distinguish the Three-Hearted Taoist by the color of the robe."

"Taichuxin is yellow, Taiyixin is red, and Taishangxin is green."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows, hearing the hesitation in Zishu's words, "Most of the time?"

"Well, once they are completely out of control, the robe will turn... white."

Zishu has seen the scene of the Three-Hearted Taoist rioting without reason, and countless people were killed and injured at that time. "If you meet the Three-Hearted Taoist in white, you must stay away."

After Shen Lian figured out the details, he was secretly shocked. At present, it is not a good thing to be noticed by the Three-Hearted Taoist.

What kind of immortality technique, thank God that he didn't do it to me.

"It seems that after Tai Yixin appeared, the Taoist priests in the cave were looking for something?"

Zishu trembled all over, and explained with lingering fear: "On the one hand, Tai Yixin maintained his human form, which would scare the immortals and ghosts, and the Taoist priests could enter and exit the periphery of the cave on their own."

"On the other hand..."

Zishu hesitated and said: "They are looking for Tai Chuxin's...corpse."

"Corpse?!!"

"Brother Shen...you should have seen the woodcutter in Fangcun Mountain, who achieved immortality by feathering his skin, and the Taoist Sanxin is similar."

Zishu's forehead was covered with cold sweat while he spoke, and his eyes looked at the outside world.

"For some reason, the condition of Sanxin Taoist will continue to deteriorate, and he will eventually have to abandon his demonized skin and break out of his body."

"Since Taiyixin has appeared, it means that Taichuxin has already shed his wings, and the skin of his original body is in a corner of the cave."

"Wait." Shen Lian asked in disbelief: "Where is Taichuxin after he shed his wings?"

"I don't know. The true disciples suspect that Sanxin Taoist will rest in a certain temple, but they have never seen him for hundreds of years. I only know that Sanxin Taoist's skin is very valuable."

Zishu didn't know the specific magical use of the skin, after all, he was just an outer disciple.

Shen Lian fell into thought. No wonder the insect ghosts died and were injured. It should be that the disciples in the cave suspected that Taichuxin's skin might be hidden in the shop.

Zishu hesitated and said: "Brother Shen, I plan to take the opportunity to go to the Cangling Hall to obtain resources and strive to be promoted to the inner sect as soon as possible."

"Yeah."

Shen Lian is not very interested in Taichuxin's skin for the time being. Since opportunities come every now and then, it is right to achieve the second fairy bone as soon as possible.

Besides, he is my cheap master after all.

"Brother, Nian'er wants to go out too!"

Nian'er came closer and said, "My parents are practicing immortal arts, and Nian'er wants to become an immortal!"

Shen Lian turned around and asked, "Junior Brother Zishu, does the Soul Storage Hall pass by the Fairy Temple?"

"It's on the way, the Fairy Temple is not too far away."

Qinghe said, "Master Shen, I have to go to the Soul Storage Hall too. Madam Bai Gu asked me to come to the Xieyue Sanxin Cave to get something."

The latter half of her sentence was secretly told to Shen Lian by telepathy.

Shen Lian had no intention of going into details, "Nian'er, you can separate a body and follow them. Then hide in the Immortal Temple and see if there is any statue that Nian'er likes."

"Yeah."

Among the three ghost fathers, the one I am least worried about is Nian'er.

Each of Nian'er's clones is his true body, and his consciousness can travel back and forth at will. The ghost shop in Baigu Cave is controlled by a clone.

Zishu did not refuse. Qinghe was proficient in escape skills and he only had to lead the way.

The insect ghosts raised by Nian'er are very hidden. The insect swarms can sense nearby movements and can retreat in time if danger arises.

Shen Lian repeatedly warned Nian'er, and then watched the two of them leave the shop.

"Damn it, the alchemist doesn't think the skin is here with me, does he?"

Shen Lian had a sneer on his face and was too lazy to pay attention to the small thoughts of the alchemists. He even opened a window to let his spiritual consciousness peek into the shop.

He set out to practice the Tianhe Blood Water Heart.

Tianhe Blood Water Heart and Lingtai Fangcun Heart both have eight levels, and the steps of cultivation are almost the same, but the difficulty of the second immortal bone is definitely higher.

After Shen Lian swallowed all the essential substances, he determined that the banyan tree was most consistent with the ghost's heart.

Compared with the Lingtai Fangcun Heart, the Tianhe Blood Water Heart does not absorb the essential substances through swallowing, but is applied on the surface of the ghost heart.

"It's really weird. How can anyone practicing martial arts have to cut open one's belly and take out one's heart to practice?"

Shen Lian was secretly speechless.

"Fortunately, the ghost heart is just the second heart, so there is no need to torture yourself."

With a thought in Shen Lian's mind, Yunling Daoying wrapped the ghost's heart, and then escaped directly from the body, and the beating ghost's heart fell into his hand.

Because of the six-door horizontal martial arts practice he had previously practiced, the ghost heart still functions like an arm even if it is separated from the body.

There is no need to connect blood vessels and meridians, and the vaporized blood flows into it out of thin air for circulation, ensuring the vitality of the ghost heart.

"Don't tell me, this thing does look impressive."

The ghost heart was forcibly transformed into a heart, but still retained the characteristics of the ghost, causing the organ to be somewhere between life and death.

【Ghost Heart】

[Breed by Shen Lian, his consciousness has been lost after being tempered by martial arts, but once out of control, he will become a ghost. 】

Shen Lian ground the banyan branches into powder and then mixed it into medicinal wine.

When the ghost heart is soaked in the wine, it can feel the breath of the banyan tree blend in little by little, and the vitality contained in the organs becomes more and more intense.

The ghost's heart was beating wildly.

"Why do I feel a little weird? Where do ghosts come from?"

Shen Lian had a slight headache. After all, it was a method of visualizing the canopy statue. It seemed fine at first glance, but there were many flaws in the details.

It is impossible for him to mess around, let alone if he can't get started for a long time.

Save 20 points if you can.

The only thing Shen Lian was lucky about was that the banyan tree grew very fast, and it was not like a myna, which could only be tricked into getting a few tail feathers by hard talking.

The ghost heart is gradually approaching saturation, but the immortal aperture has not made any progress.
