The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing sensed that the seemingly calm Xiangxiang was roiling with undercurrents, and once a disaster occurred, no one could escape from it.

He decided to complete the first aberrant change of the Prison Within as soon as possible, and try to obtain the opportunity of the Wuwei Taoist temple when his strength was sufficient.

The Wuwei Taoist temple was likely related to the corpse of a Yang God realm cultivator.

Even if there were only five years left, the resources that could be obtained from it were still considerable, even enough to advance to the Yin Official realm.

The imperial examination ended smoothly.

Although there were deaths during the period, it did not cause widespread panic after all, and was quickly suppressed by the yamen.

As for the results of the imperial examination, it would take two or three months, and by then, those scholars who were named on the gold list would be able to embark on their official careers.

Ren Qing did not pay attention to the imperial examination, he turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and just focused on closed-door cultivation.

Originally, the aberrant change was already on the agenda, but because of replenishing the Dao-birth Dao, his lifespan was reduced, so it was postponed slightly.

He patiently focused on visualization techniques and mastering weapon refinement, staying in the newly built courtyard of the Fire Labor Hall every day.

Ren Qing clearly felt his strength growing.

It was not just the improvement of techniques, but the all-round enhancement brought about by his foundation, laying a solid foundation for the Yin Official realm.

He was immersed in cultivation, and when he came to his senses, more than a month had passed.

During this period, Sanxiang City was relatively calm, only a few gangs had some minor conflicts, but they were harmless due to the deterrence of the Forbidden Guard Hall.

Ren Qing naturally could not miss the ghost market that opened in the middle of last month.

However, he was not in a hurry to talk to the Grand Dream Taoist about the token imprint, fearing that he would not have so much free time after becoming a formal Forbidden Guard.

Ren Qing verified his weapon refinement skills through the shop and found that they had indeed improved a lot.

However, he had mastered too few weapon refinement methods, and customers could still only choose from the reserve members to refine magical items to fill in the defects.

So as not to expose his true level.

Originally, Ren Qing was a little worried that some rumors would affect the Grand Dream Taoist.

But unexpectedly, the most credible saying among the Forbidden Guards was that the Grand Dream's forging was mainly to take care of the reserve members, so formal Forbidden Guards were not considered.

Ren Qing made a lot of money this time, and his lifespan also increased a little faster.

Blood crystals accumulated to fifty dans.

However, he did not have the habit of saving money, and bought a lot of materials on the day he made money.

Stone eyes have the highest cost performance, but it does not mean that the life extension effect is also the best. If you have money, you naturally have to transform it into strength, otherwise it is useless.

With the accumulation of resources, Ren Qing actually only spent less than two months, and his lifespan increased to fifty-three years.

The reason for leaving three years of leeway was mainly to avoid the exhaustion of lifespan and death after the aberrant change.

Ren Qing also took the opportunity to figure out the drawbacks of swallowing eyes to extend life, which may be related to the fact that the limit of ordinary people is fifty years.

As long as the lifespan reaches fifty years, the effect of swallowing eyes will be greatly reduced, and no matter what kind of eyeballs are swallowed, there will be no significant improvement.

Ren Qing estimates that the upper limit is around sixty years.

From this, it can be seen that if you want to advance to the Yin Official realm, in addition to finding other methods, you can only focus on opening a shop to harvest leeks.

Ren Qing did not hesitate too much, and then prepared for the aberrant change of the Prison Within.

He specially chose a late night.

The cicadas chirped in the grass, and a continuous drizzle fell.

Ren Qing sat cross-legged in the house, and fifty years of lifespan passed like running water, and his full head of black hair instantly turned silver-white.

He endured the weakness of his body and stuffed some eyeballs into his mouth, and was soon overwhelmed by the severe pain brought about by the aberrant change.

Aberrant change is commonly understood as controllable alienation. Although the danger is not as great as breaking through the realm, it is definitely not safe.

The space in the Prison Within is constantly expanding.

Ren Qing imitated the action of the gluttonous beast lying on the ground to breathe, and only felt slightly better with the help of the technique.

The pain came quickly and went quickly.

Ren Qing belatedly got up, his body did not change significantly, and even showed signs of decline due to the approaching exhaustion of his lifespan.

Fortunately, it should recover after the lifespan reaches ten years.

He contacted the Prison Within with his consciousness and found that the space was already about a hundred cubic meters.

Of course, Ren Qing knew that the most important thing was the aberrant change branch, the Jailer would make the technique undergo a complete transformation.

The aberrant change branch, the Jailer, can imprison its own strange objects in the Prison Within, and drive them to attack the creatures that are ingested into it.

The number of Jailers is currently only one, but it will definitely increase with the improvement of cultivation, which is beyond doubt.

Ren Qing's mind moved slightly, and the vacancy of the Jailer in the Prison Within chose the Divine Foot Sutra.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, this technique did have a tendency to develop towards tastelessness.

The passively improved physique is mainly concentrated in the legs, but after mastering the Dragon Snake Spine, Ren Qing actually no longer needs the means to close the distance.

Active beastification also involves the Bloodhound Gang, and Ren Qing finds it difficult to explain to the Forbidden Guard Hall why he has mastered this technique, after all, the cultivation requirements of the Divine Foot Sutra are still very cumbersome.

The strange mouth in the palm opened.

Then the skin of both feet struggled like a living thing, and the strange object formed by the technique tried its best to resist being taken into the Prison Within.

But how could the Divine Foot Sutra be a match for the Gluttonous Beast Method.

The strange object did not resist for a few breaths before being swallowed by the strange mouth, and the strength attached to the legs by the Divine Foot Sutra declined a bit.

Ren Qing stared intently, and the slightly pale wolf hair on his legs disappeared, and there was one less technique displayed in the information flow.

It shows that after the Jailer imprisons the strange object, it can indeed collect the resulting alienation together, just like the source of the river being cut off by a dam.

Ren Qing was completely relieved.

His consciousness checked the Prison Within, and saw a white wolf more than two meters long inside, which was constantly moving and circling.

The white wolf seemed to sense Ren Qing, and kept sniffing the air with its nose.

Seeing that the strange object of the Divine Foot Sutra was a bit like a husky, Ren Qing silently separated a small half of the space to imprison it.

After the white wolf found that the range of activity was small, its temperament also became irritable, and it bared its teeth at the flesh wall.

However, after a long time, it quickly became honest and simply curled up in the corner of the cell and licked its fur with its tongue.

"In a sense, it can also be regarded as another kind of spirit beast, right?"

Ren Qing touched his chin.

When the Mirror Dweller advances to the Ghost Envoy realm, he should be able to summon the projection of the white wolf.

The three aberrant changes of the Immortal in the Mirror will definitely have branches to strengthen this aspect, and maybe it will be possible to bring the strange object itself to the outside world at that time.

He then put the Divine Foot Sutra back into his body, the wolf feet acted on his body, and sparse wolf hair grew on his legs again.

Ren Qing took out a dozen bottles and cans from the Prison Within, all about the size of a fist, filled with viscous wolf blood.

"Seventeen kinds of wolf blood, it should be enough."

If Ren Qing's idea is valid, and he has enough trump cards, he can also try to find the traces of the Blind Taoist.
