I couldn't sleep all night.
Shen Yi tossed and turned, and finally made it to dawn.
Even though he knew that Lin Baiwei's acupoints had been sealed by the fox demon, let alone his current level of cultivation, even his previous incarnation, that good-for-nothing, could easily kill her.
Besides, he had his sword under his arm so he could draw it and deal with the enemy at any time.
But he still wasn't used to having a living person behind him.
Secondly, Shen Yi did not believe in Lin Baiwei's nonsense about martial arts, but he was sure that the other party had at least a few decent skills.
The woman refused to tell the truth.
Shen Yi closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he was struggling in his heart. If he used force or food to force, would he gain anything?
If it were his predecessor's idea, he would help the government office conceal the chaos caused by demons. As long as he could fool the Demon Suppression Division, the fox demon would completely replace the identity of the only daughter of the Lin family, and he could do whatever he wanted with this woman.
But Shen Yi can't do that.
He wanted to join the Demon Suppression Division. Once the fox girl's affair was exposed, he would be stuck in mud and couldn't wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
It's so unfair that such a young knight had to bear such a huge blame for no reason!
Shen Yi thought about it and decided that the only solution now was to kill Lin Baiwei with a knife and bury her somewhere. Even if the Demon Suppression Division found out something, they would deny it and say that she had been deceived by the fox demon's illusion.
Anyway, there is no evidence since he is dead, and we can also force him to tell us some martial arts techniques.
"…"
His fingertips brushed across the scabbard and gently grasped it.
Shen Yi slowly sat up from the bed, his eyes slightly bloodshot from staying up all night, and stood up gloomily.
Hearing the noise, Lin Baiwei, who was leaning against the foot of the bed, opened her eyes blankly and wiped the corner of her mouth: "Is it dawn?"
Shen Yi glanced at her and walked out of the room.
Sensing the murderous intent hidden in that casual gaze, Lin Baiwei instantly sobered up and said hesitantly, "Hey, I don't snore, so why are you so grumpy when you wake up?"
After about a cup of tea.
Shen Yi stood at the door with a pancake in his mouth, and threw in an oil-paper bag with an expressionless face.
Lin Baiwei tore it open and saw several steaming hot dumplings.
She swallowed subconsciously, her eyes lit up, and she bit down with her neat little white teeth, chewing as she said, "Why... there's no meat..."
Shen Yi took out a clean coat and rolled his eyes at her: "The ones with meat are called Jiamo. If you don't have money, you can just make do with what you have."
Although in both lives combined, he had never killed anyone.
But Shen Yi was not afraid to take action. He even killed demons, let alone weaker mortals.
He just felt that being forced to kill people like this was unreasonable and made him look very stupid.
And there is more than one solution.
As long as we can kill the fox demon of the Lin family before the Demon Suppression Division, everything will be fine.
As for the woman in front of me, I would rather ignore her and not be bothered by her.
Shen Yi changed his clothes, turned around and left the room.
When his footsteps faded away, Lin Baiwei stopped chewing and looked out the door thoughtfully, with a look of relief on her face.
She knew very well how terrifying a warrior's desire for transcendence would be when he reached Shen Yi's level.
But even with a knife at her neck, Lin Baiwei would not reveal a single thing.
This is a strict rule set by the higher-ups.
Once violated, the other party will definitely die, and you will also suffer the consequences.
"You can even endure this. Your endurance is almost better than mine."
Lin Baiwei sniffed the aroma of the fire, licked her lips, and took another bite.
…
East Street, Baiyun County. Shen Yi slowed down and called out the panel.
[Current Martial Arts]
Bone-penetrating Grasping Hand (Great)
Demon Subduing Sword Technique (Perfect): Beginning Stage. Demon Subduing Zhengyang Sword
Paiyun Long Fist (Perfect): Mastery of Fists and Palms
Eight Steps of the Spirit Snake (Complete)
Wind and Thunder Scroll Part 1 (Complete)
[Current remaining life span: 21 years]
[Remaining demon lifespan: 222 years]
…
Just find an empty alley and sit down.
Shen Yi skillfully poured the demon's lifespan into the Wind and Thunder Scroll.
If you continue to invest in martial arts that have already been perfected, it is still unknown whether you will reap any rewards.
Just the initial stage of using the Demon-Subduing Zhengyang Sword consumed an additional twenty-seven years of his lifespan.
And what Shen Yi wanted now... was a whole article about the initial stage of cultivation!
For this, he didn't care about any more consumption.
[In the first year, you looked at the Wind and Thunder Scroll that you had already memorized by heart, and began to recall your life...]
[In the fifth year, your sword skills and fists have reached the pinnacle. Your body has been thoroughly refined by the essence of heaven and earth. However, all the experience of the first half of your life has lost its effect at this moment.]
[In the twentieth year, you will retreat to comprehend the world and capture the breath that haunts you]
[Year 37, Wind and Thunder Treasure Scroll is a method of refining medicine, using essence to refine oneself. You think the things in the medicine are no different from the things in the world. You seem to have realized something.]
…
Reminders from year to year float before my eyes.
Shen Yi could not personally experience the pain of seeing the years pass by with nothing gained.
As long as he put himself in the situation, he would feel a little chilly.
[In the sixtieth year, you have become familiar with the energy of heaven and earth as if they were old friends, but you still cannot make them blend into your body. You look at the knife beside you]
[In the eighty-second year, you used the Demon-Subduing Zhengyang Blade countless times. Every time you used it, your blood, flesh, and energy would be consumed. Your body, which had been refined by your energy, gradually began to decay after years of self-consumption.]
[In the ninetieth year, you successfully turned yourself back into an ordinary person, but you still didn't put down the knife]
[In the 105th year, your flesh and blood dried up, and there was nothing left for you to transform. You swung out the familiar Zhengyang Sword and collapsed to the ground. Your trembling hands made you unable to believe that this was your own body. You closed your eyes.]
[Year 106, until a ray of coolness rushed into your skin and a smile finally appeared on your nervous face, you knew you guessed right]
[Year 120, your idea is right. Since you can't figure it out, let your body reach a near-death state and use your instincts to absorb the gifts of heaven and earth. Over the years, you have continued to repeat this behavior and have become more and more familiar with the way the breath enters the body.]
[In the 146th year, you finally perfected the entire process and recorded it in a book, calling it "The True Explanation of Wind and Thunder Subduing Demons"]
[Remaining demon lifespan: 76 years]
…
Shen Yi clenched his teeth, a sudden feeling of weakness sweeping over his body.
He stretched out his hands to support his body, his breathing was disordered and weak.
But the information that appeared in his mind made Shen Yi not care about the changes in his body at all. Instead, there was a strong excitement between his eyebrows.
Just the lives of three ape monsters can be exchanged for the method of transcendence, and it hasn't even been used up yet. It's really a huge profit!
The "True Explanation of Wind and Thunder Subduing Demons", which took more than a hundred years to obtain, is actually not obscure.
There are 362 acupoints in the human body.
There are only twelve major orifices suitable for absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and storing it.
And in the deduction of martial arts, what he did was to use the most stupid method to find these twelve acupoints and master the way to temper the energy of heaven and earth through them.
