A sleepless night.
Shen Yi tossed and turned, and it wasnt until dawn broke that she finally managed to fall asleep.
Even if Lin Baiweis major acupoints had been sealed by the demon fox, not to mention his current cultivation level, even his previous incarnation as a drunkard could easily kill her.
Moreover, he had pressed his sword against his arm, ready to draw it at any moment.
But he still wasnt used to having a live person behind him.
Secondly, Shen Yi indeed didnt believe in Lin Baiweis nonsense about martial arts, but he was certain that the other party had at least a few decent skills up their sleeve.
The woman refused to tell the truth.
Shen Yi closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but in her heart, she was tangled up. If she used force or food to coerce him, would she be able to gain anything?
Instead of being the predecessor, the idea is to help the government cover up the evil spirits chaos, as long as the Town Demon Bureau is fooled, the fox demon can completely replace Lins only daughters identity, and this woman can do whatever she wants.
But Shen Yi was not allowed to.
He wanted to join the Demon-Slaying Department, but once the fox girls affair was exposed, he would really be in a hopeless situation, and even jumping into the Yellow River couldnt wash it clean.
A fine young knight-errant, inexplicably carrying such a large black pot on his back, is being wronged!
Shen Yisi thought to himself, the only way to solve this now is to kill Lin Baimei with one slash of his sword and bury her somewhere. Even if the Demon Vanquishing Department finds out something, he would just deny it until death, even if he himself was deceived by the fox demons illusion technique.
Anyway, dead men tell no tales, and its convenient to interrogate him about his martial arts skills.
“……”
Fingertips brushed against the scabbard, gently grasping it.
Shen Yi slowly sat up from the bed, his eyes, which had been staying up all night, had a hint of bloodshot, and he stood up with a gloomy expression.
Hearing the noise, Lin Baiwei, who was leaning against the foot of the bed, slowly opened her eyes and wiped the corner of her mouth: "Is it dawn?"
Shen Yi glanced at her and walked straight out of the house.
Feeling the intense murderous intent hidden in that casual gaze, Lin Baiwei suddenly became much more alert and muttered: "Eh, I dont snore either, where did such a big temper come from."
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Shen Yi held a pancake in her mouth and stood still at the door, expressionlessly tossing an oil-paper package inside.
Lin Baiwei tore it open and found several steaming hot huǒshāo (a type of Chinese pancake).
She subconsciously swallowed her saliva, her eyes shining brightly, and a row of small white teeth bit down at once, chewing while saying: "How...no meat..."
Shen Yi took out a clean outer shirt and gave her a glance: "The one with meat is called jianbing, no money, just make do."
Although I have lived for two lifetimes, I myself have never killed anyone.
But Shen Yi was not afraid to take action, having even killed demons and devils, let alone weaker ordinary humans.
He just felt that being forced to kill people like this was unreasonable and made him look very foolish.
Moreover, there is more than one solution.
As long as it can be done before the Town Demon Division, cutting down the fox demon of the Lin family first will also make everything go smoothly.
As for the woman in front of me, Id rather not see her and avoid trouble.
Shen Yi changed into good clothes and turned around to leave the room.
Waiting for his footsteps to fade away, Lin Baiwei stopped chewing and looked out the door with a thoughtful expression, her demeanor clearly relieved.
She deeply understands that when a martial artist reaches Shen Yis realm, their longing for transcendence will be terrifying to what extent.
Even if a knife were held to her throat, Lin Baiwei would never reveal anything.
Thats the rule set above.
Once violated, the other party will definitely lose their life, and they themselves wont have a good outcome either.
"Even this can be endured, and your endurance is almost better than mine."
Lin Baiwei sniffed the aroma of roasted fire and licked her lips, then took another bite.
……
Dong Street of Baiyun County.
Shen Yi slowed down her footsteps and called out the panel.
Current Martial Arts
Bone-Penetrating Grasping Hand (Da Cheng)
Demon-Slaying Sword Technique (Perfection): Initial Realm. Demon-Slaying Positive Yang Sword
Yún Cháng Quán (Perfect): Fist and Palm Mastery
Dragon Snake Eight Steps (Perfection)
The Precious Scroll of Thunder and Lightning (Upper Volume)
Current remaining lifespan: 21 years
Remaining lifespan of the demon: Two hundred and twenty-two years
……
Find an empty alley and sit down at will.
Shen Yi skillfully poured the demons life force into the Wind and Thunder Treasure Scroll.
A well-rounded martial art, continuing to invest in it, whether there will be gains or not is an unknown quantity.
Just involving the initial stage of the Fuyao Zhengyang Knife had already consumed an additional twenty-seven years of his lifespan.
But what Shen Yi wants now is... a complete set of techniques for the Initial Realm!
For this, he doesnt care about any more losses.
In the first year, you look at the Wind and Thunder Treasure Volume that has long been familiar to your heart, and begin to recall your life...
In the fifth year, whether its knife skills or fist techniques, your skills have reached the pinnacle. Your physical body has been thoroughly refined by the heavenly and earthly essences, yet all the experiences from the first half of your life have lost their effect at this moment.
In the twentieth year, you retreat to comprehend the universe, capturing the breath that haunts your dreams.
In the thirty-seventh year, the Wind and Thunder Treasure Volume is a method of refining medicine, using Jingyuan to refine oneself. You think that the things in the medicine are not much different from the things in heaven and earth, as if you have gained some insight.
……
Year after year, reminders float before ones eyes.
Shen Yi couldnt bear the pain of his physical body withering away with age, yet he had nothing to show for it.
He felt a chill run down his spine as soon as he put himself in that situation.
In the sixtieth year, you have become familiar with the aura of heaven and earth as if they were old friends for many years, but you still cant merge them with your body. You looked at the knife beside you.
In the eighty-second year, you have used the Fuyao Zhengyang knife countless times. Each time you take action, your blood and energy will be consumed a little bit. The body that was previously refined by Jingyuan has gradually begun to decline due to years of self-consumption.
In the 90th year, you successfully turned yourself back into an ordinary person, but you still havent put down your sword.
In the one hundred and fifth year, your flesh withered away, nothing left to transform, you swung out that familiar positive yang knife, you collapsed on the ground, trembling palms made you dare not believe this was your own body, you closed your eyes.
In the year 106, until that refreshing breeze poured onto your skin, a tense face finally added a hint of smile, you knew you were right.
In the 120th year, your thinking is correct. Since you cant figure it out yourself, let your body reach a state of near-death and use instinct to absorb the gifts of heaven and earth. Over the years, you have continued to repeat this behavior, becoming more familiar with the way breath enters the body.
In the year 146, you finally perfected the entire process and recorded it in a book, calling it "Wind Thunder Fuyu True Explanation".
Remaining lifespan of the demon: 76 years
……
Shen Yi gritted her teeth, a sudden and intense feeling of powerlessness sweeping through her entire body.
He propped himself up with his hands, his breathing disordered and weak.
But the information that appeared in her mind made Shen Yi completely disregard the changes in her body, and her eyebrows were filled with intense excitement.
Its just three lives of the ape demons, and I can get the transcendent method in exchange. Its not even used up yet, its simply a huge profit!
The "Wind and Thunder Demon-Subduing Spell" that took over a hundred years of time to acquire is actually not abstruse.
The human body has 362 apertures.
Suitable for absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and storing it are only the twelve major orifices.
In his martial arts practice, he used the most foolish method to find these twelve acupoints and mastered the way of tempering the heaven and earths energy through them.
