The Secret Way of Immortality

There aren't many books about weapon crafting, but they are clearly divided into categories, the more recent they are, the more they involve human lives.

The Shore Flower was created within the fifty years before the sect's destruction, representing the most insane decades of the Wuwei Taoist Temple, so the crafting involved a huge number of souls.

Moreover, the Shore Flower is likely related to the Beast Pen method.

This shows that as the Celestial Dao Child's lifespan dried up, coupled with the influence of practicing the Beast Pen method, his actions became increasingly extreme.

This led to the Fire Refining Palace, which was incompatible with the other Taoist temples.

The Shore Flower is indeed similar to what Ren Qing has come into contact with, requiring the devouring of thousands of souls to fully bloom.

The Forbidden Prison Hall is better, using the naturally deceased townspeople of An'nan Town over the years, but the efficiency of planting Shore Flowers is not high.

But in Jingzhou...

The Shore Flower is also known as the Year-by-Year Flower...

Because in the eyes of the people of Jingzhou, this flower blooms every year, and as long as you go to Jingzhou City on that day, you can smell the fragrance of the flower from afar.

Ren Qing knew that Jingzhou could not maintain a population balance.

They didn't have a technique like the Summer Grass Decision that could maintain the birth rate at over 90%.

The actions of the Wuwei Taoist Temple were probably somewhat unscrupulous when the Celestial Dao Child was dying, and the content of the books gradually regarded themselves as immortals.

The Celestial Dao Child naturally had difficulty concentrating on managing affairs.

However, the books rarely mention the secrets of Jingzhou, and to figure it out, you have to go there in person.

What Ren Qing found most absurd was that the Wuwei Taoist Temple later prohibited the large-scale refining of magical items, not because the disciples' consciences were awakened, but because of the dissatisfaction of the sect elders.

The elders of the Wuwei Taoist Temple all had cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage, which actually represented the Celestial Dao Worm.

This shows that the Celestial Dao Worm could no longer stand it.

Zhuoliu Zi, as the last head of the Fire Refining Palace, was clearly delirious when writing the weapon crafting method.

Some of the books were even damaged.

However, the crafting method of the Shore Flower is very complete, but its function is a bit strange.

It is called "Living Soul".

If a mortal takes the Shore Flower, their own soul will be completely dissolved in an instant, and the Shore Flower will disappear without a trace.

However, monks above the Golden Core stage will take root in the stomach by eating the Shore Flower.

As thirty-six days pass, the Shore Flower in the stomach blooms again, and then a pseudo-soul with three souls and six spirits is conceived.

The pseudo-soul is almost the same as the real soul, possessing the same memory, but the pseudo-soul has a chaotic intelligence.

Ren Qing suspected that the Blind Daoist should have sent his body and pseudo-soul to Xiangxiang in advance, wanting to leave behind the orthodoxy of the Wuwei Taoist Temple.

But it is obviously difficult to succeed.

Under normal circumstances, the disciples of the Wuwei Taoist Temple would use their souls to devour the pseudo-soul, trying to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Ren Qing was not surprised that the method of refining the Shore Flower spread to Xiangxiang, after all, the two regions must have had contact in the past.

Especially before the Celestial Dao Child went mad, the Forbidden Prison Hall tried to help the Wuwei Taoist Temple get rid of the control of the Celestial Dao Worm.

But the function of the Shore Flower is to produce a pseudo-soul, which has a kind of chilling meaning.

Then, could the Corpse Dog Soul, Non-Poison Soul, and Stinky Lung Soul in Abi Hell also be pseudo-souls produced by a certain Forbidden Prison using the Shore Flower?

Then use the Soul Summoning Technique to capture them into Abi Hell.

If the Soul Summoning Technique is the Beast Pen method.

Monks who practice this technique should inevitably have their souls transformed towards the Supreme Heavenly Demon, even if they have not cultivated to a very high level.

If the Shore Flower is a pseudo-soul born from this person's soul, will it be related to the Supreme Heavenly Demon?

In fact, it can be seen from the Night Walk of a Hundred Ghosts in An'nan Town that Ren Qing's worry is not excessive, those beast ghosts have different degrees of Heavenly Demonization.

If the three souls and seven spirits are gathered in Abi Hell, and the Supreme Heavenly Demon is attracted, the entire Xiangxiang is afraid that it will be reduced to ruins, right?

Ren Qing pinched his nose with a headache, and his troubles all stemmed from the asymmetry of information.

He didn't know what the Forbidden Prison Hall was up to at all.

But even if it is just using the Beast Pen method to achieve certain goals, the risks are quite frightening.

After thinking for a long time, Ren Qing decided to first figure out who in the Forbidden Prison Hall was in control of the Soul Summoning Technique, so as to have a defense.

After the Food Immortal Forbidden Zone ends, the Forbidden Prison Hall will probably try to summon souls.

Ren Qing's main body couldn't help but glance at the direction of the Food Immortal Forbidden Zone.

If Song Zong can return safely, many questions can be asked of him, no matter how he answers, at least there is a bottom line in his heart.

I just hope everything goes well.

With Song Zongwu's strength in the Yin Difference realm, it should not be difficult to suppress the Forbidden Zone consciousness in the Ghost Envoy realm, the main thing is to find the core strange object.

Ren Qing continued to browse the weapon crafting books.

Two hundred years ago, the Wuwei Taoist Temple's weapon crafting method was still relatively restrained, even if it involved mortals, it was all blood and bones.

Compared with the last fifty years, it was simply worlds apart, it can be said to be the most chaotic period.

For example, a magical item called "Blood Wheel" requires one hundred and eighty-three spines, and then a large amount of pregnant women's blood is consumed to refine it.

He is not very interested in this kind of weapon crafting method, it is against the harmony of heaven, not to mention that even if it is refined, it must be used in conjunction with the Celestial Dao Worm to function.

Ren Qing sighed.

Then he found a book on how to control the flesh and blood magical items in the Fire Refining Palace, so as to determine that he could use it to refine the magical items needed by the Forbidden Prison.

The flesh and blood magical item is specially used for refining weapons for disciples, and it is called "Tombstone Furnace", mainly because this weapon crafting method is composed of the corpses of monks above the Golden Core stage.

There are a total of seven, representing the seven former heads of the Fire Refining Palace, the last one being the corpse of Zhuoliu Zi.

The Tombstone Furnace is one with the Celestial Dao Worm, and after years of brewing by the latter, the flesh and blood magical item itself has also transformed.

The seven Tombstone Furnaces represent the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Division, Ascension, and Earth Immortal realms.

However, those above the Nascent Soul stage can fully control all the Tombstone Furnaces, which shows that the so-called high-level Tombstone Furnaces are just gimmicks to fool disciples.

With Ren Qing's current Foundation Establishment stage cultivation in the Netherworld Art, he can only control the first two Tombstone Furnaces.

He put away the weapon crafting books, and then walked back to the flesh and blood magical item in the hall, looking at the insect eggs on the ground.

Ren Qing tried to drive the ghost shadow to attach to the insect eggs, slowly injecting Youyuan into them.

But perhaps because there was too little Youyuan in the ghost shadow, the Celestial Dao Worm in the insect eggs was still lifeless, and there was no reaction after a long time.

Ren Qing patiently sat cross-legged next to the insect eggs and waited.

Three or four hours later, the insect eggs began to shake slightly, and the Celestial Dao Worm larvae inside swayed their bodies like fish.

The Celestial Dao Worm larvae stared at the ghost shadow with their narrow eyes.

Ren Qing couldn't help but feel uneasy, it can be seen from the cost of exempting the spiritual root from the information flow that the Celestial Dao Worm still has a certain intelligence.

It can even speak human language, it is very likely that this strange thing was born like this.

He was afraid that the Celestial Dao Worm larvae would see the clues of the ghost shadow, causing him to be unable to drive the Tombstone Furnace, which would be a bit troublesome.

The Celestial Dao Worm lazily stared for a moment, and then stopped moving.

Ren Qing immediately felt regret.

He was just about to let the ghost shadow withdraw, intending to browse the weapon crafting books a few more times, and find out if there were any other ways.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of bones colliding above his head.

Ren Qing quickly looked up, and his expression suddenly became a little stunned, the source of the sound was the outermost Tombstone Furnace.

It should be the corpse of Zhuoliu Zi.

And each corpse is connected to the insect eggs, and the Celestial Dao Worm can use this to control them.

The corpse, like a puppet, reorganized its joint bones, and the opened abdomen recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ren Qing's scalp was numb, what did the Wuwei Taoist Temple become after being crazy, how does it feel like it's all evil ways.

He looked at the ghost shadow, the latter was still providing Youyuan for the Tombstone Furnace, but the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation was only barely enough.

Because the spiritual root is not in the ghost shadow's body, it is impossible to store Youyuan, but fortunately it can rely on the Celestial Dao Worm to produce it.

Ren Qing took out a relatively simple material, chose an ordinary animal skin, and then handed it to the strange Tombstone Furnace.

The Tombstone Furnace reached out to take it, and then put the animal skin on its own skin, the two actually merged with each other, and soon became inseparable.

The corners of Ren Qing's mouth twitched, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this unique weapon crafting method.

All parts of the Tombstone Furnace's body are fusible weapon crafting materials, and the materials are activated by the stimulation of the Celestial Dao Worm.

After activation, it can be refined by conventional means, and there is no need to worry about it.

This Zhuoliu Zi is just a Qi Refining stage Tombstone Furnace, and cannot involve deeper weapon crafting, but it is enough for Ren Qing.

After all, the Forbidden Prison does not rely much on magical items, the most important thing is to use magical items to make up for the defects brought about by techniques.

Maybe it is also a lesson learned by the Forbidden Prison Hall based on the Wuwei Taoist Temple.

After the animal skin became the skin of the Tombstone Furnace, it suddenly became as lifelike as it was before, and you could still see the blood vessels wriggling slightly.

Next is the auxiliary material.

Ren Qing just took out the meat stone left over from refining the magical item, and then ground it into powder.

The role of the meat stone is also to activate the material, anyway, just treat it as an experiment.

The powder was sprinkled on the animal skin, and it was absorbed in a moment, and the animal skin changed.

The color of the animal skin was slightly glossy and oily.

Ren Qing took out some strange dust again, and evenly smeared it on the surface of the animal skin, this time the absorption was slightly slower, it took a full ten minutes.

When the magical item was formed, the Tombstone Furnace automatically shed the animal skin.

The ghost shadow then left the insect eggs, and the Tombstone Furnace was hung on the roof again, the bones were scattered again, and the chest and abdomen were opened.

Ren Qing looked at the animal skin in his hand, it felt warm to the touch, like it had just been peeled off from a wild beast.

However, due to the limitations of the materials used, it is indeed just an ordinary magical item, even inferior to the magical item he refined for the first time.

Ren Qing put the animal skin on his arm, and then merged with the skin.

His own body did not mutate and lose control, but he could vaguely feel the effect of the magical item suppressing the mutation, but only limited to the Half-Corpse realm.

It is probably difficult to have an effect on the Ghost Envoy realm like Huang Ziwan.

Ren Qing took out the magical item.

Anyway, the Tombstone Furnace can easily refine magical items, and even mass-produce them, which is perfect for operating the Great Dream Forging.

The only trouble is how to transfer the Tombstone Furnace into the prison in the abdomen.

Ren Qing checked the Fire Refining Palace, the Tombstone Furnace was almost integrated with the Taoist temple itself, he racked his brains and had no good way.
