Fatty Ding’s puppet shop number three.
[Keep calm, insight points +1]
[Calm down, insight points +3]
…
[God has no external things, God's enlightenment point +1]
[Calm down, insight points +2]
[Calm down, insight points +3]
…
On the third floor of the shop, the scent of sandalwood wafts through the air, and the whole room is extremely quiet.
Shen Lian was sitting cross-legged on the couch, his whole body aura was peaceful, his magic power was circulating slowly in his body, and a voice from the dark was echoing in his ears.
He didn't stop practicing until noon.
As his eyes opened and closed, a flash of inspiration appeared.

【Divine Enlightenment Points: 126】
【Insights: 84175】
There was a thoughtful look in Shen Lian's eyes. In recent times, the rate at which his perception points increased was still about the same as before.
But the speed of divine enlightenment was a little slow.
Now the degree of integration of the five spiritual roots is only 1%. According to the spiritual enlightenment points required for the first awakening, if you want to improve it by another 1%, you will need another 1,000 spiritual enlightenment points.
"Am I overthinking?"
Perception points can be obtained after being quiet, while divine perception points require a mysterious feeling.
Until now, Shen Lian still finds it difficult to describe this mysterious feeling.
Just like, just like...
Slowly retracting the light in his eyes, Shen Lian stood up and paced back and forth, feeling a little annoyed.
"call!"
He walked to the window and let out a long breath.
Looking at the vast Canglan Mountain from afar, the mountains are undulating and shrouded in mist.
The great demon king Canglan is definitely a demon with great courage and means.
With so many puppet parts branded with the Five Elements Spiritual Ban, one can imagine how huge the thing needed to be assembled would be.
Shen Lian was deeply aware of this point, as his Five Elements Warship was built based on puppet parts.
At that time he was still in the distant Southern Continent, but he didn't expect that in the Central Continent, there was a great demon king who had already started.
The third-order puppet parts are definitely not the core things. The core of parts of this size must be at least fourth-order, and it must be top-grade fourth-order, or even quasi-fifth-order, to be worthy of the identity of the Great Demon King Canglan.
"The precious blood for Dahei and Erwan's bloodline awakening still needs to be obtained from the depths of Canglan Mountain."
"If I can get that Dragon Marrow Phoenix Yang Pill, it will be of great benefit to me."
"It can speed up the time of advancing to the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, and also condense the Yin and Yang Qi in advance."
…
Nearing evening, Shen Lian closed the third Fatty Ding's puppet shop and disappeared in Dongcanglan Fairy City.
It was a year and a half later when he appeared outside Canglan Mountain again.
He was wearing a grey robe, with his long hair disheveled behind his head, and he looked exhausted.
He had just returned from Handan Region and went to secretly investigate Master Chang Yun.
Although this alchemy master is very famous in Canglan Mountain, everyone knows that he took away three spiritual objects from Canglan Mountain and advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
But Shen Lian still went to take a look in person.
There are two Yuanying Zhenjuns in Yunling Sect. Chang Yun was promoted to Yuanying not long ago, just over 20 years ago.
The other Yuanying Zhenjun is only in the early Yuanying stage.
Shen Lian sneaked into the Yunling Sect and directly searched the spiritual memories of some inner sect and true disciples.
It’s quite interesting to say, the Yunling Sect is a sect that is inclined towards alchemy, and more than 80% of the disciples in the sect are obsessed with alchemy.
Shen Lian easily found the memories he wanted from the memories of the disciples of Yunling Sect.
After comprehensively considering various factors, it can be concluded that Master Chang Yun is an alchemy fanatic.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, before his realm was completely stabilized, he began to work on refining fourth-level elixirs and becoming a fourth-level alchemist.
After all, he was Yuanying Zhenjun, so Shen Lian paid enough attention to him and did not dare to get close to him to investigate.
But with these confirmations, he felt more at ease again.
If the great demon king Canglan returns his sincerity to him, Ding also has a loyal heart.
A handful of fox hair slowly flew up in his hand.
Not long after, the rolling fog in Canglan Mountain poured down from the depths of the mountain like a long river and spread to the outside of the mountain.
In the fog, the little fox demon ran out, running up and down.
"Fellow Daoist, I have been waiting for you for several years."
The little fox demon blinked its narrow eyes and stared at Shen Lian, but it did not lie.
Ever since it sent Shen Lian out of the mountain last time, it has been ordered to wait for Shen Lian to come again.
Why are the ancestors in the mountains so sure that Shen Lian will come back? There are many precedents.
Looking at the entire Tiannan Continent, there is no place like Canglan Mountain where one can reasonably obtain third-grade top-quality spiritual objects.
Even the Jindan cultivators from the seven major sects would come to patronize from time to time, and even cultivators from other continents would come.
Since the last time Shen Lian completed the branding of one hundred puppet parts, it also received a reward. Without the reward of the demon pill, it would have been almost advanced from the middle third stage to the late third stage.
All you need to do is take a few more naps and digest the energy in the demon pill, and you will almost be able to advance to the late third stage.
Therefore, the little fox demon was very excited to see Shen Lian again.
"Let's go, fellow Taoist, I'll take you into the mountains."
The little fox demon stepped forward, continuously leaping between the ridges, then looked back at Shen Lian.
"Hurry up, fellow Daoist, do you want to eat three-feathered chicken? In the nearby Tongbei Mountain, a few old monkeys have raised some. They are delicious. You didn't get to eat them last time."
"Do you want to eat it? I'll steal it for you."
Seeing the little fox demon eager to try, Shen Lian knew that this fox must have stolen a lot.
"Don't worry, Lord Canglan has a rule that forbids us from fighting among ourselves. If we are caught, at most we will be beaten by the old monkey. It's not like we haven't been beaten before, so we are used to it."
"Daoyou, where are you from?"
"A family in the Tianping Domain."
Boom! At this time, a rumbling sound was heard in Canglan Mountain, and a terrifying energy aura emanated from the misty place deep in the mountains.
The next moment, an extremely thick, black, scaly paw emerged from the clouds.
Each toe of this foot is about ten feet long, and the entire foot is like a palace, stepping down from the clouds and suddenly stepping onto a mountain.
“Boom!”
The terrifying energy rolled, forming countless whirlpools and turning into overwhelming energy that swept in all directions.
At this moment, among the mountains, restrictions were lit up on the mountains, directly dissolving the terrifying energy into nothingness.
“Ouch!”
Just then, a howl came from the white clouds.
In the collapsing clouds, a huge crocodile-like monster appeared. It was covered with spikes and part of its body surface emitted a dark golden color.
This monster had limbs as thick as mountains, suspended in mid-air. Its thick thighs were more than thirty feet tall. Its head was like a mountain, and its eyes were like red blood lanterns.
At this moment, the big demon roared towards the sky, his eyes looking fiercely towards the sky, bursting with anger.
…
Such terrifying power made Shen Lian feel extremely nervous.
The little fox demon was so scared that it jumped into his arms.
"Old Crocodile has gone crazy again."
The little fox demon spoke tremblingly.
"Don't be afraid, my friend. Crocodile Patriarch won't eat you."
The little fox demon said this, but she was shaking so much.
The little fox demon didn't need to say that. Even from a distance, Shen Lian could still feel the chaotic aura emitted by the giant crocodile.
This chaotic aura comes from the state of the soul. Just by looking at the pair of huge blood-red eyes, you can tell that this monster is not normal.
"What happened to Lord Demon King?"
"I don't know, I just went crazy all of a sudden."
The little fox demon poked its head out from Shen Lian's arms, its narrow eyes full of fear.
Its fear was different from Shen Lian's. Its fear came from its blood. As a demon facing a high-level giant demon, it instinctively felt the trembling in its blood.
Shen Lian’s first reaction was that the little fox demon was lying to him.
The fourth-level demon king has gone crazy!
Do you think this is an ordinary person?
Even for a foundation-building cultivator, it is not easy to go crazy, let alone a fourth-level demon king.
Moreover, the aura of this great demon king is definitely not just that of the early fourth stage. It is possible to be in the middle fourth stage, comparable to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Who would believe that a big guy in the middle stage of Yuanying has gone crazy?
At this time, a dark green whip was seen falling from the rolling clouds and instantly rolled up the giant crocodile.
"Old crocodile."
The giant crocodile demon king, who was caught by the long whip, struggled desperately, but was still dragged into the cloud.
Seeing the giant crocodile about to disappear in the clouds, Shen Lian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he immediately hugged the little fox demon tightly.
Just now, he saw the giant crocodile struggling and rolling, and it actually bit off one of its forelimbs. The dripping blood was wrapped in a ball of green light and dragged into the clouds.
A giant crocodile in the middle stage of the fourth stage went crazy and bit off one of its front legs. This is fucking crazy.
Shen Lian’s first reaction was whether he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.
We can't enter this mountain.
Run.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be afraid. The Giant Crocodile Ancestor has been mad for a long time. Many fellow Daoists have seen the Giant Crocodile Ancestor go crazy."
The little fox demon raised its head and looked at Shen Lian, blinking its big watery eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, we will not silence you."
“…”
Shen Lian threw the little fox demon down casually.
Some monsters are just too bad at talking.
The little fox demon rolled several times in the air and continued to lead the way.
"I heard from other demon friends that not only the ancestors in our mountain have gone crazy, but also the ancestors of many sects in the Tiannan Continent have gone crazy?"
"Don't talk nonsense. You have to respect the ancestors."
Shen Lian nodded, but immediately spoke solemnly.
"Hehe... My great-aunt warned me that when I am with fellow human Taoists, I must not learn their hypocrisy."
"Fellow Daoist, what you just said is not the hypocrisy of the human race."
The little fox demon was originally running in front, but suddenly jumped back and came close to Shen Lian, looking up with a curious look.
"Uh...right."
After getting the answer, the little fox demon ran to the front to lead the way.
"My aunt is already waiting for you in the mountains."
Led by the little fox demon, Shen Lian came to the valley again and entered a cave.
I thought this meeting would be a little awkward.
But Shen Lian didn't expect that there was not only one cultivator in the cave. In addition to the old fox demon woman he met last time, there were two more cultivators.
A female cultivator wearing a long green dress, with a veil covering her face. There was mist lingering around her, and only a pair of eyes emitting charm could be seen.
The other cultivator, who looked to be in his forties, had a mean-looking facial feature. When he saw Shen Lian coming in, he smiled at him.
However, this smile was full of gloom and made people feel uncomfortable.
"Daoyou, please sit inside."
After the little fox demon entered the cave, he jumped directly into the arms of the old fox demon woman.
Just like last time, the old woman did not show any signs of being a fourth-level demon king. She smiled and led Shen Lian to sit down.
Seeing that there was no intention of introducing each other, Shen Lian narrowed his eyes after sitting down.
The old fox demon glanced at the three of them. The plan that Canglan Mountain has been adhering to for many years to attract monks with resources is constantly attracting monks from all sides.
I have to say that the human race is smarter than the demons. They have an endless stream of inherited memories, unlike the demons who only know a few words like "No, I'll eat you".
"This fellow Taoist is new here. Let me explain the rules to you."
“Inside my Canglan Mountain, there is a task list similar to that in the human clan. Completing the tasks on the list can earn Canglan points.
Canglan Points can be exchanged for various spiritual objects, including third-tier and even fourth-tier spiritual objects."
Several of you are fellow Taoists who have passed the first step of the assessment in the past or recently. I believe that the tasks on the Canglan Ranking will not be difficult for you."
The old fox demon woman smiled and said that the number of cultivators who could undertake the tasks on the Canglan List had just exceeded a hundred since the establishment of the Canglan List.
It covers the human race, the demon race, the ghost race, the spirit race and other races. Of course, the human race has the largest number of cultivators among them.
These monks not only come from the Tiannan Continent, but also from other nearby continents.
Up to now, some of these hundred people have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and the strongest one has even advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Precisely because he obtained the spiritual object from Canglan Mountain, this great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage has a very good relationship with Canglan Mountain.
Compared to the countless cultivators outside who have failed to complete their missions, these hundred people are the ones that Canglan Mountain needs to make friends with.
All this was thanks to the planning of the great demon king Canglan. It seemed that the foreign cultivators took away many spiritual objects from Canglan Mountain, but in the process of making friends with these cultivators, Canglan Mountain also obtained elixirs and magic weapons refined by humans, which enabled the demon race in the mountain to develop rapidly.
Now, those cultivators who have accepted the Canglan List missions have become elders in various tribes and sects in the Tiannan Continent, and have gradually begun to exert their influence.
