The Secret Way of Immortality

When the Corpse Elephant roared, even those in the Yin Essence realm within the city felt the terrifying pressure, and their hearts were filled with fear.

The three walls of Wuwei City facing Jingzhou emitted a faint light, indicating that the wartime defenses had been activated, making entry into the city extremely complicated.

Ren Qing's face was full of helplessness as he saw a queue of more than ten meters long at the city gate, estimating that he might not be able to enter even by nightfall.

Even the official jailers were obediently queuing, as no one wanted to court disaster.

If they were sent back to Xiangxiang, wouldn't they be wasting the opportunities within reach? The quotas for Jingzhou were extremely scarce.

They discussed among themselves, even lighting a bonfire and roasting the meat they carried with them, the aroma spreading everywhere.

Seeing this, Ren Qing also relaxed a little and went to get some roasted meat to fill his stomach.

The middle-aged man selling roasted meat was a former jailer named Yu Dou, whom many people recognized. Even those who weren't familiar quickly became acquainted.

Yu Dou noticed that Ren Qing was alone and couldn't help but greet him, "Eat more. Brother Yu specializes in the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven technique, so there's plenty of food."

Laughter came from the crowd, "Brother Yu, they all say you have a lot of food in your belly, but also a lot of filth and excrement."

"Go, go, go..."

Yu Dou waved his hand, eliciting good-natured laughter from the crowd.

Being in Jingzhou, a place full of opportunities, it was hard to see the tension that existed in Xiangxiang. After all, resources were just outside the city, within easy reach.

Ren Qing's expression was slightly complicated.

Once the Primordialization arrived, the living space for cultivators would be further compressed, and it would probably be difficult to see such a harmonious scene again.

Yu Dou patted Ren Qing's shoulder and couldn't help but ask, "You got separated from your companions, right? You're really lucky to have come back alive."

"Indeed..."

Ren Qing nodded, and the two chatted about the current situation. Time passed, and the queue gradually entered Wuwei City.

Yu Dou felt that Ren Qing was very much to his liking, especially his insights on the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven technique, which didn't seem to come from a Ghost Envoy realm jailer.

Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he suddenly noticed Ren Qing frowning and looking into the distance.

Yu Dou turned his head and stared at the dim forest in the evening. The originally noisy chirping of birds suddenly stopped, and even the insects stopped moving.

More and more cultivators in the crowd closed their mouths, looked at each other, took out their magic tools, and nervously prepared for possible dangers.

Yu Dou muttered to himself, "What's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of huge red eyes lit up in the shadows of the forest, and he could smell the fishy stench from the mouth of a carnivore.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

The cultivators immediately realized that this was clearly the movement of a giant demonic beast.

The Taoist disciples guarding the city rang the bronze gong, and the heavy city gate slowly opened, preparing to let the cultivators outside in first.

But obviously, the demonic beast had been lying in ambush for a long time. A four-to-five-meter-high body emerged from the shadows, its appearance resembling a deformed bat.

Its wings flapped forcefully, causing demonic energy to rush towards them.

The bat demon couldn't wait to pounce on the nearest cultivator, its speed so fast that there was no time to react. Its claws directly grabbed and left.

Yu Dou couldn't dodge in time, and the sharp claws pierced his shoulder.

Similar giant demonic beasts already had the strength of approaching the Yin Essence realm. Usually, multiple third-stage transformations were needed to cooperate.

Or an Yin Essence realm cultivator had to step in to kill them.

Just when they thought that casualties were inevitable, the bat demon suddenly stopped moving, and the ferocity it had been emitting disappeared.

Yu Dou took the opportunity to escape the restraint. Because he cultivated the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven technique, the exposed wound began to scab over in just a few breaths.

He had no intention of fighting back. Such a great demon was not something ordinary cultivators could stand against...

Bang!!

The bat demon exploded, turning into minced meat scattered everywhere.

Everyone stood there in a daze for a moment, unable to figure out what was going on. After all, the bat demon's behavior was too strange.

Ren Qing walked towards the city gate.

He used the transformation branch ability of the Weird Door in the Belly, and the bat demon gave up resisting because of his resistance to hunger and killing.

Yu Dou reacted immediately and looked at Ren Qing's back with a probing gaze.

Could it be an Yin Essence realm cultivator...

Ren Qing entered the city, and the one who came to support him was an old acquaintance, Jiang Feng.

As Li Tiangang's capable assistant, Jiang Feng's spells were very suitable for setting up eyes and ears outside, so how could he not come to Jingzhou?

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed Ren Qing, waved to signal the jailers not to check him, and then dealt with the aftermath.

Although he didn't go up to greet him, he was somewhat curious in his heart.

Ren Qing, who was seen by many as someone who could break through to the Yang God realm as long as he cultivated smoothly, had been in Jingzhou for a few years now. He wondered what his cultivation was like now?

Perhaps he was approaching the Release Yin Spirit realm, and if he was bolder, he would guess that he was in the Release Yin Spirit realm.

As for the Yin Essence realm Perfected...

Jiang Feng didn't even dare to think about it. Li Yaoyang and others who had been promoted at about the same time were still trapped in the Binding Yin Spirit realm, and he didn't know when they would break through.

Yu Dou approached Jiang Feng and asked, "Lord Jiang Feng, who was the immortal just now from the jailer's hall?"

"Ren Qing."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the city gate, cooperating with the jailer's hall to check the entering and exiting cultivators to avoid any more accidents.

Yu Dou fell into a brief daze, constantly chanting Ren Qing's name in his mouth.

His pupils suddenly dilated, and he remembered that the most mysterious Ghost Market Lord in the jailer's hall seemed to be surnamed Ren. Could it be true...

Yu Dou realized that he had been hooking up with the Ghost Market Lord before, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his palms full of cold sweat.

Ren Qing had already arrived at the Changyuan Escort Agency. No one stopped him, and he walked into the courtyard, and then the ghost shadow under his feet opened a crack.

The monks returned to Wuwei City, and were somewhat incredulous for a while. They had just thought that the Prison of Eternal Incarceration was the Yellow Springs Underworld after death.

Their expressions stood there as if they were reborn.

The escorts who had originally planned to move also widened their eyes. After all, the monks of the Linggan Temple were almost all escorts who had disappeared from the Changyuan Escort Agency.

The Shen family father and daughter were the first to react.

"Thank you, Immortal..."

Shen Qiuteng wanted to kneel down to Ren Qing with Qingzhu, but he only felt that his knees were supported by an invisible force, and he couldn't bend them at all.

Ren Qing had already asked Little San'er to help buy a courtyard. After looking at the information left by the latter, he couldn't wait to leave.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"A new yamen has been established in Wuwei City. You can go and inform them of the situation."

He disappeared in an instant, leaving only the bewildered crowd behind.

Ren Qing came to the southern location in a few flashes. Not far away was an elegant courtyard, and the amount of true energy in the air was also higher.

Compared to the surrounding three- or four-story houses, the courtyard seemed a bit out of place.

Seeing this, he shook his head with a wry smile.

His original intention was to let Little San'er find a place to live, but he didn't expect the latter to be so original and specially build a courtyard.

However, the courtyard was close to the city wall, and few people would pass by on weekdays, so it was considered quiet, which was just right for retreat and cultivation.

Ren Qing came to the house. It was cleaned spotlessly, and the furniture was complete. Obviously, it had been specially cleaned.

He and Little San'er had no nominal master-disciple relationship, but he did teach him.

Ren Qing decided to guide Little San'er's No-Eyed Method when he was free, which could also indirectly improve his refining level and help him earn more lifespan.

He released ghost shadows all over the courtyard, which could also clean up the weeds.

Ren Qing was not in a hurry to deal with the affairs of the Great King Linggan, but first focused his attention on the flesh and blood furnace burning with kindling.

Most of the Buddhist energy had been transformed into a light golden powder, and the rest was sealed in the Prison of Eternal Incarceration, intending to explore it slowly.

[Buddhist Sense]

[Condensed from the Immortal Eating Method, it is obtained by burning the Buddhist soul as a material. After eating it, the body will gradually transform into an indestructible golden body.]

Ren Qing's expression was stunned.

He had always thought that Buddhist energy was obtained from the cultivation of Buddhist techniques, but why would it be related to the so-called Buddhist soul? Could it really be a living thing?

Ren Qing had also observed the Buddhist energy emitted by Song Zongwu, and it was no different from the Buddhist energy he had collected, indicating that it was all composed of "Buddhist souls".

How does the Buddhist technique feel so strangely weird...

Ren Qing couldn't contact Song Zongwu, and the latter didn't have any childhood memories, let alone know who the nameless ascetic monk was.

He put away the Buddhist sense. The indestructible golden body sounded really bluffing, but according to the laws of this world, it must be very evil.

Ren Qing then brought some ghost shadows into the Prison of Eternal Incarceration, using its ubiquitous ability to check the body of the Great King Linggan.

The Great King Linggan struggled desperately, but how could he be the opponent of the ghost shadows?

Dense lines came into view, somewhat similar to demon lines, but obviously affected by Buddhist energy, becoming inexplicably distorted.

Compared to the strange, the special magic weapon like the Great King Linggan could not be copied at all.

It feels...

It feels like Buddhist energy used the means of "conversion" to forcibly transform the Great King Linggan into its current appearance, which must be irreversible.

After Ren Qing understood the structure of the Great King Linggan, his interest grew stronger.

He tried to inject a large amount of Nether Essence into the body of the Great King Linggan, and the latter twitched immediately, making an extremely shrill scream.

However, the Great King Linggan was indeed able to accommodate Nether Essence, but it could not be bound in the body, and it would dissipate over time.

Seeing this, Ren Qing was not disappointed at all, and his eyes seemed to see amazing business opportunities.

The Great King Linggan felt a strange fear, trembling and muttering to himself, "I am the Great King Linggan, I have converted..."

Countless black ropes pulled the Great King Linggan into the depths of the Prison of Eternal Incarceration.

Then, Ren Qing planted mycelium of the Tai Sui mushroom all over the surface of the Great King Linggan's body, stimulating the growth of the fungus tree by absorbing and emitting the characteristics of Nether Essence.

The source of Nether Essence happened to be the water well for exchanging spirit crystals in the Immortal Market, which was used by hundreds of Taoist monks every day.

The fungus tree took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the branches contained a faint Nether Essence.

Ren Qing stared and pondered for a long time. If the fungus tree was refined into a magic weapon, it could indeed accommodate a large amount of Nether Essence, but at the same time, it could not be regenerated.

"It seems that there is only a sick tree..."

He remembered the statue of the Longevity Immortal that the sick tree had transformed into in the Longevity Forbidden Zone.

The magic weapon that Ren Qing envisioned should have branches that could store Nether Essence and regenerate like plants, and the body was similar to a spiritual vein.

It happened that the sick tree could make up for the defects, but the Six Afflictions Method of the jailer's hall had long been lost.

The corpse of the Drunken Monk did come into contact with an old Taoist of Six Afflictions, but the strange object produced after this person's death had disappeared.

I can only hope for the Longevity Forbidden Zone...
