Chapter 94: The alchemist enters Gaolaozhuang
Yongcui Street.
Festival decorations are everywhere, and the thick fog covering the streets is stained with bright red.
In the tailor shop, someone stared at the ghost carriage parked at the corner of the street. Then Shen Lian got out of the carriage, carrying a coffin behind him.
Zuo Yan and Zhang Yuanzhen looked at each other, their expressions full of surprise and uncertainty.
Shen Lian unexpectedly brought the thousand-year-old cotton ghost back to Gao Laozhuang intact. The two of them couldn't help but look nervous, fearing that the tiger would return home.
To know.
There are still ghost remnants in the tailor shop. If another thousand-year-old cotton ghost comes, I am afraid that the situation in the shop will completely fall out of control.
Shen Lian passed by the tailor shop and walked straight into the ghost pawn shop.
Bang.
The door is closed.
Zuo Yan looked around, trying to find the nine-eared demon disguised as a crow, but found no trace, pinching the bridge of his nose with a headache.
Zhang Yuanzhen asked in a deep voice: "Zuo Yan, is he considered a cave alchemist?"
"Probably not."
Zuo Yan shook his head with a wry smile. No matter how you look at it, Shen Lian is just a warrior, but his methods are simply shocking.
Zhang Yuanzhen took a deep breath, "Will he affect Gao Laozhuang's chances of marrying into the family? It won't be long before we have to welcome the true king."
"Zhang Yuanzhen, you and I are just responsible for Gao Laozhuang, is it possible? At this age, do you still have any hope of entering the cave?"
Zuo Yan was thinking a lot.
If my conjecture is true, the nine-eared demon is probably Shen Lian's protector. Who knows why the two came to Gao Laozhuang.
[Bringing in a wife] is related to becoming an alchemist. Many people will come to Gaolaozhuang, including Jin Wuwei who practices the [Tianpeng Sutra].
The half-human, half-pig Jinwu Guards were already familiar with Gao Laozhuang.
Most of those who can truly worship in the cave have mastered the Tianpeng Sutra, and some of the Tianpeng Sutra monks have even received the [Invitation Card] from the Gaofu in advance.
Bang bang bang.
Rapid knocking sounds came from the ghost pawn shop, vaguely mixed with desperate wails, and the two of them couldn't help but feel terrified.
Immediately, cotton wool squeezed out of the crack of the door, and the thousand-year-old demon tried to escape.
"Hey."
The door of the ghost pawn shop opened a little, and the scaly arm grabbed the cotton wool, and the cotton wool made the sizzling sound of a hot knife cutting butter.
Zuo Yan and the others had numb scalps.
The door of the ghost pawnshop closed, and not long after, Yongcui Street returned to deathly silence.
………
Shen Lian handed Mian Bao Gui's contract of sale to Gui's father.
The lobby is in a mess.
As time goes by, the damage to the floors and walls is gradually restored.
The coffin is placed next to the counter. The cover has many damages, the charm is even duller, and the ghosts are staying in it.
With the ghost father sitting in charge, the cotton-wool ghost has no power to resist the plundering and resentment of the wise eye, and its exposed Taoism has only 800 years left.
The ghost father said: "Ah Lian, he is not suitable for the pawn business."
Shen Lian frowned slightly.
The reason why he weakened Mianxu Gui Daoxing was to make the latter become the ghost father's help, otherwise the ghost pawnshop would be easily breached.
In the end, because the Cotton Ghost was born in a tailor shop, it seems difficult to integrate into the Ghost Pawn Shop.
Shen Lian's mind moved slightly, "Old man, even if he is not suitable for pawns, he can still be an apprentice. What job in the store do you think he is suitable for?"
Dad stared at the coffin for a moment.
"The calligraphy and painting on silk need to be repaired with cotton thread. He should be able to help me."
The words just finished.
The coffin shook violently, and the cotton wool ghost struggled desperately. The thick cotton wool wrapped the ghost, and the resentment was giving rise to something different.
No matter how many times he saw him, Shen Lian could not hide his amazement at the ghost father's abilities. He simply followed his words when faced with a demon with inferior moral character.
"Ah Lian."
The father handed the gourd back to Shen Lian, "The gourd has not changed much recently. Ah Lian, you should ask the old Taoist priest who sold the gourd."
"Okay. ”
Shen Lian looked happy.
Obviously the gourd has been tempered to the extreme by Ghost Father, and its material has completely turned into blue-purple jade, exuding a touch of resentment.
[Ghost Gourd]
[It was originally an ordinary gourd, transformed into a ghost by Shen Hansheng. It is already a multiplier and can absorb medicinal power to brew medicinal wine. 】
No medium multipliers are sold on the third floor of the ghost market. It is estimated that they can only be seen on the fourth floor. The value of the ghost gourd is evident.
Of course it is not without cost.
Shen Lian noticed that Ghost Father’s moral character was not increasing but decreasing.
He temporarily slowed down the idea of tempering the other two magic weapons. It seemed that he had to find a way to increase his father's Taoism. If he had two or three thousand years, he might be able to refine the multiplier.
Ghost Dad ignored the coffin and turned around and said, "Ah Lian, I'm going to visit Granny Liu's rice shop. She is not in good health."
"Old man, we usually have guests. "?"
"No."
After that, the ghost father walked out of the store.
Shen Lian watched Ghost Dad seeing off. A thin figure opened the side door of the rice shop next door. Granny Liu looked like an ordinary old man.
But the moment he saw Granny Liu, he couldn't help but cough.
The glutinous rice has filled my mouth.
Shen Lian forcefully swallowed it into his stomach, but the glutinous rice stuck to his esophagus and proliferated like a living thing, seeming to stretch out his flesh and blood.
[Appraisal completed, Jiu Qi Diyan experience +0.03%]
"How evil." If Shen Lian hadn't had a wise eye to protect him, he would definitely not have stayed in Gao Laozhuang for a long time. Each store has different taboos. If you are not careful, you may die without knowing it.
"The next step should be a high-profile marriage. If it is too dangerous, I will simply return to Yanliang Town to avoid the limelight."
Shen Lian leaned back on the counter.
Put aside the weird taboos, Gao Laozhuang is undoubtedly a blessed place.
As long as it does not stay in the outside world, the pork meat appearing in the stomach will not aggravate the abnormality, but will continuously breed nutrients.
At most, in a few months, the giant food can gather enough experience for promotion.
"Let's talk about it, first stabilize the cultivation level."
Shen Lian controls the yin and yang energy to circulate around the sky. The starting point is the lower dantian and the end point is the upper dantian, washing away the Yuan Dan and the soul.
The energy becomes pure, and the qi and blood become stronger.
Shen Lian secretly looked at his dantian, and the soybean-sized Yuan Dan was rising and falling with strength.
"After I took office as a minister, I tried to bind myself, but it failed. The career panel prompted that I must bind a foreign object."
"Having said that."
"Although Yuan Dan is made of condensed energy, it should actually be regarded as a foreign object, right?"
The more Shen Lian thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible, but he still has no clue about the fourth profession, and there are no special professions related to the alchemist. conditions met.
Gao Laozhuang's [Tianhe Demon Master] should be the closest to him.
But Shen Lian cannot take the risk and go deep into Gao Laozhuang. As a member of the Westbound Four, Zhu Bajie was Marshal Tianpeng in his previous life. If he turned into a demon, his strength would be immeasurable.
“Not necessarily.”
“Zhu Bajie was still very embarrassed before meeting Tang Monk. In his impression, he was reduced to doing farm work in Gaolaozhuang.”
Shen Lian suppressed the thought of committing suicide.
"Even if you want to covet the Tianhe Demon Master, you have to go through the Jinwu Guards."
"The Jinwu Guards hide in the tailor shop and take risks to eliminate ghosts. Most of them are to worship in the cave. Let's see what happens to them. ”
Shen Lian yawned, took out the secret book of three inner elixirs and started to read it.
[Hunyuan Qi Sea] makes the circulation of yin and yang energy continuous, so I don’t need to pay too much attention to it. Anyway, I am bored, so I might as well try to practice another inner alchemy.
Shen Lian has the foundation of Hunyuan inner elixir, and he completely understood the three inner elixirs in just a moment, and even noticed that some of the annotations were ambiguous.
"I'm afraid Wang Lanfang, who created the three inner elixirs, is not as thorough as I am. A thousand years ago, I could have founded a sect."
Shen Lian adjusted his breathing, causing his Dantian to vibrate at a special frequency. .
Logically speaking, he has to visualize the morning sun, the noon sun, and the setting sun, which will eventually lead to the natural birth of a ray of three rays of power in his Dantian.
“If you can’t control your body, you need to go around in a big circle to help yourself adapt to the inner alchemy.”
“Why do I need to go to such trouble when I am born with the Holy Body?”
Shen Lian's breath changed continuously, his flesh and bones shrank and expanded, and it didn't take long before he found the state recorded in the three inner elixirs.
The three Dantians are slightly hot, imitating the three Yangs of the day.
Shen Lian maintained cautiously, and soon a ray of three rays of power came out of his lower dantian, but it seemed incompatible with Yuan Dan.
“As long as there is no conflict.”
Yuan Dan is the foundation of the great road. If it is damaged, it will affect the body and soul.
In fact, for Shen Lian, it doesn't matter if the Yuan Dan is broken. He can recreate it out of thin air by adding some inner alchemy. The problem is...
The inner alchemy is too expensive.
The Yuan Dan in the Xu Dan stage is extremely fragile. Shen Lian always feels like he punches his abdomen and feels the sour feeling of the Yuan Dan exploding.
Fortunately, with the practice of the six realms of Yuan Dan, the inner elixir will become stronger and stronger.
Even Yuan Dan can leave the body for a short time. It is said that Jin Wuwei uses Yuan Dan to perform secret techniques, which can increase the power by 30%.
Shen Lian was immersed in the three inner elixirs unknowingly.
Compared with Dad's pawn shop, the ghost pawn shop is so idle that you can't even feel the passage of time, and the few clerks don't dare to disturb it.
Until, strong resentment spread out.
“Little baby.”
Shen Lian opened his eyes suddenly.
An old man appeared in front of the counter. Glutinous rice kept falling from his grooved face, and the resentment that formed his body was on the verge of disintegrating.
It is the thousand-year-old ghost [Mother Liu] from the rice shop next door.
“Where is my father?”
Shen Lian showed no fear at all, and there was a hint of chill in his eyes.
Grandma Liu smiled like a flower.
"Shen Hansheng helped me clean the rice vat in the shop. The little doll was so irritable that it almost scared Granny Liu half of her life."
Shen Lian intuitively felt that Granny Liu was really scared. The trend, especially after leaving Mipu, has been a sharp decline in Daoxing.
Mr. Liu gasped and said, "Don't be afraid. My mother-in-law has attended several wedding banquets. She doesn't have long to live. She just wants to leave the shop in the hands of her grandson before she is buried."
"Grandma Liu, your grandson..."
"Not dead yet, but soon! He is working as an errand in Gaojia Town!!!"
Mother-in-law Liu covered her mouth and said: "Little baby, I want to give you a gift for getting married in the high house. My mother-in-law wants you to help me find some rice dumpling leaves."
"Zongzi leaves with four to five hundred years of Taoism will do."
Shen Lian realized that Granny Liu was talking about ghost skin.
"It's okay if it's inconvenient." Granny Liu looked at the coffin in the corner from the corner of her eye, "A thousand-year-old ghost almost died, how dare I force it."
Grandma Liu trembled. Walking out of the ghost pawn shop, "Every year, half-human and half-pig officials come to Yongcui Street. I think they like the Gao Family Martial Arts School at the end of the street very much. You can check it out when you have time."
"Okay, Granny Liu, please leave slowly without seeing me off."
Shen Lian's brows cracked and he raised his eyes. Granny Liu's words were indeed true.
"Gao's martial arts school, right?"
