The Secret Way of Immortality

Sha Shanzhi replied, "The initial suggestion was made by Chaoyangzi. He said that the Ascension Ladder could be used to bring down the flying Ze immortals, which was approved by the government."

"Later, the government discovered that the Ascension Ladder could harvest more immortal maggots, so they spent several years building it, and it is now nearing completion."

"Chaoyangzi's body is outside the city?"

"Yes, I performed the rites for him."

Ren Qing felt that the Zeren shouldn't need the Ascension Ladder to descend from Qingxu Temple. Didn't the Zeren transformed from Xiao Ying appear on the edge of the swamp back then?

Perhaps Chaoyangzi had been exposed to the Wine God Technique, albeit only fragments, which is why he created such a crude Qi refining method.

The complete Wine God Technique might be inside Qingxu Temple, and Chaoyangzi wanted to go to the clouds through the Ascension Ladder.

Ren Qing sorted out his thoughts. In any case, he would first obtain the Water Swamp Technique manual, and then slowly plot to obtain the Wine God Technique.

He took Sha Shanzhi into the prison within his stomach, and then subtle changes appeared in his face, deliberately adding some wrinkles.

The two were already very similar in stature, but Sha Shanzhi was thinner.

Ren Qing didn't deliberately conceal himself, but the illusion of the Mirror Immortal was enough, coupled with spells to reduce his presence, so he wouldn't be recognized.

He focused his attention on the prison within his stomach.

Sha Shanzhi's face was dazed.

He found himself in a closed prison cell, and his expression immediately became fearful.

Sha Shanzhi's mind kept replaying his conversation with Ren Qing, and he always felt a strange horror, a chilling feeling.

Especially after arriving here, his heart was filled with a strong sense of unease.

After hesitating for a long time, he left the cell and walked in the aisle.

Strange sounds kept coming from the distance, and he could even smell a fishy odor, all of which indicated that this was no longer the familiar Huangsha City.

Sha Shanzhi pinched his arm, and a stinging sensation arose, indicating that he was not dreaming.

"Is he really a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Lord..."

A rough breathing sound came from a cell, and he subconsciously leaned over, and was immediately frightened to the ground by the scene in front of him.

In the darkness, a monster with a human face and a tiger's body was revealed, licking its fur with a tongue full of barbs.

The monster noticed Sha Shanzhi and revealed a fierce look, and couldn't help but pounce, but was blocked by the bars of the prison.

Sha Shanzhi used both hands and feet, and quickly climbed to the end of the aisle, only to find that at least thirty or forty monsters were imprisoned in the other cells.

His expression was distorted, and a moist warmth surged between his legs.

How could Sha Shanzhi know that these monsters were all stored as strange objects, and would be thrown into the flesh and blood furnace by Ren Qing at any time.

He became even more frightened.

Sha Shanzhi cautiously crossed the prison area, thinking it would be safer.

But what came into view was a ghost wolf like a high mountain on the open space, as well as a roc bird resting with its eyes closed and a skeleton sand dune.

"Help!!!"

Sha Shanzhi fled into the nearest cell in a panic, and breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door.

He calmed down and noticed that the walls looked like flesh and blood, and were mixed with blood vessels, and would wriggle from time to time.

"I... wouldn't I have been swallowed into the belly of an immortal..."

But why is the world in the abdomen like a boundless purgatory, full of terrifying monsters, completely different from the ethereal immortal aura displayed by Ren Qing.

He couldn't help but feel suffocated.

Sha Shanzhi silently recited the Taoist scriptures, and then sat cross-legged on the ground to circulate the Qi refining method.

The collapse of his worldview caused his Dao heart to waver, and he even began to question the reality of the Ze immortals in Huangsha City.

When Sha Shanzhi opened his eyes, he noticed that there was a thick book in front of him, and the handwriting on the cover was slightly strange.

But like the connection between simplified and traditional characters, Xiangxiang is after all adjacent to Shuize, and many customs are very similar, not to mention the handwriting.

He vaguely recognized that the title of the book should be called "Wind and Sand Method".

After Sha Shanzhi flipped through it, he was shocked by the content of the spells and trembled all over, calling it an evil method.

Every day, three kilograms of sand and gravel must be poured into the five senses until the blood is mixed with sand and gravel.

Would anyone really practice it...

Ren Qing glanced at Sha Shanzhi.

A large amount of sand and gravel appeared out of thin air in the cell, and the souls in the sand and gravel were swallowed by the keel of the sand boat, and the essence was completely different from Ze sand.

Sha Shanzhi swallowed, and the hands holding the Wind and Sand Method trembled slightly.

Ren Qing ignored him. It didn't matter if the other party didn't practice the Wind and Sand Method. Anyway, there were tens of thousands of Gobi people in Huangsha City.

He didn't have the energy to teach Sha Shanzhi, but he made some annotations on the book, and also removed the content about swallowing sand and gravel.

Ren Qing went out in the middle of the night, and then strolled around Huangsha City.

He noticed that some Taoists holding jars in their hands were actually from Taoist temples, and the jars contained Zeren who had turned into mist.

However, these Zeren had not cultivated to the Self-Eating Realm, and their three souls and seven spirits had not been completely digested, so there was no hope of becoming immortals.

Pseudo-Zeren must have some use, otherwise the Taoist temples would not spend energy to enshrine them.

Ren Qing used several hours to count the Taoist temples to which the pseudo-Zeren belonged, and soon came to a conclusion that it should be related to the promotion to the "Other-Eating Realm".

The Taoist temples with more Zeren in the Self-Eating Realm will also have a corresponding increase in the number of pseudo-Shuize.

I'm afraid that if the Self-Eating Realm wants to be promoted to the Other-Eating Realm, they need to devour the pseudo-Shuize, so as to grow the physical characteristics of the five qi dynasties.

Seeing that the night was about to pass, Ren Qing quickly walked to a Taoist temple, and the three characters "Baiyun Temple" were engraved on the stone plaque.

Liu Chuan was in this Taoist temple, and his status was much higher than that of the pseudo-Zeren.

There were many pilgrims coming in and out of Baiyun Temple, and they should all be residents nearby. Ren Qing used his weak presence to blend in.

The Taoist temple was simple, and there were seven or eight Ze immortal statues placed inside. They should be the Ze immortals enshrined in the past dynasties, and Liu Chuan's statue was placed first.

The Taoists warmly received the pilgrims, and did not earn money from them. It felt like they were satisfying the Zeren's longing to become immortals.

Ren Qing pretended to burn incense, but actually pricked up his ears to collect information.

From it, he learned that Baiyun Temple was not large in scale and only enshrined one Ze immortal.

Moreover, since the Qing Snake Immortal ascended, Baiyun Temple had not had a Ze immortal in the Self-Eating Realm for ten years, and Liu Chuan filled the vacancy well.

Baiyun Temple only started recruiting Taoist boys after having a Ze immortal in charge, and there are currently only three.

Seeing this, Ren Qing felt relieved and exerted the illusion of the Mirror Immortal to the extreme.

He walked through the pilgrims as if no one was there. Even if there was physical contact, it did not arouse the Taoist's vigilance.

Ren Qing soon walked into the backyard of Baiyun Temple, and could already detect where Liu Chuan was, but he felt strange.

In just over half a month, Liu Chuan's aura not only did not increase, but became a little weak, as if it would collapse at any time.

Ren Qing came to the outside of the厢房, but heard the sound of chanting scriptures inside.

He used his double pupils to check, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. The appearance of the Taoist boy in front of him was bizarre, and a chill spread up his spine.

The Taoist boy was only about ten years old, thin, and had strange lotus mouthparts on his forehead and ears.

The slender neck tried hard to support the head, and bulges grew on both sides of the shoulders.

The bulges were in the shape of human heads and were covered in five colors.

Ren Qing quickly discovered that the Taoist boy was in a state of alienation and out of control, and the soul in his body had long been wiped out, and he might die at any time.

He opened the door, snatched a stone bowl from the Taoist boy's hand, which contained some unknown black flesh and blood, which was the source of the alienation.

Ren Qing shook his head, and then walked towards where Liu Chuan was.

Liu Chuan's 厢房 was obviously more spacious, and it was full of heart-rending roars, obviously the other party had fallen into madness.

"I don't want to become an immortal, don't kill me, don't kill me..."

He hit the ground with his head, how could he look like an immortal.

But what surprised Ren Qing was that the ghost shadow in Liu Chuan's body had grown a lot, like a maggot attached to the bone, deeply penetrating into the bone marrow.

It may be because of the ghost shadow that Liu Chuan is mentally abnormal.

Liu Chuan's mist-like body continued to collapse, and dark flesh and blood fell on the ground, making his aura weaker.

The Taoists of Baiyun Temple obeyed Liu Chuan, so they fed the flesh and blood to the Taoist boy, hoping to share the pain.

Ren Qing came to Liu Chuan, and the ability of the Mirror Immortal slowly converged.

Liu Chuan's shouting stopped abruptly, and he stared at Ren Qing in horror, recognizing him from the ghost shadow at the bottom of the other party's feet.

Ren Qing had some clues to deal with Zeren.

The Shuize Method is a technique of sacrificing the body to take the soul. If alienation and loss of control occur, it will be difficult to suppress until death.

He considered using part of the ghost shadow left over from the Jinsui Camp to inform Song Zongwu and the others of this information, which should be of great help.

Liu Chuan's eyes became clear, and the ghost shadow mixed in his body gradually calmed down.

He collapsed weakly on the ground and said in a pleading tone: "Immortal, kill me, don't torture me..."

"Do you have the method of the three realms of becoming immortal?"

"No, those words suddenly appeared in my mind, it should be related to Qingxu Temple, I dare not..."

"Liu Chuan, speak."

Ren Qing's words were threatening. Liu Chuan didn't care about Qingxu Temple, and quickly began to dictate the content of the spell.

The content only includes the Self-Eating Realm and the Other-Eating Realm of the three realms of becoming immortal.

The Shuize Method should be a completely different technique. After all, the environment of each region is different, and it has been very different for thousands of years.

The cultivation systems of the Beast Pen Method, the Heavenly Dao Method, and the Jinsui Method are very different.

But Ren Qing had never heard of such an absurd and extreme technique, as if he was talking nonsense.

The more he listened, the more familiar he felt.

When Liu Chuan finished speaking, Ren Qing squeezed out three words from his teeth.

"Eating... Immortal... Method..."

He had indeed not seen the manual of the Eating Immortal Method, but after mastering the spell, careful deduction could also get a glimpse of it.

But Ren Qing felt that the Shuize Method was not a technique derived from the Eating Immortal Method.

It was more like a cultivator spending a few breaths, randomly taking out part of the Eating Immortal Method, and then mixing in useless nonsense, and even a little theory of the Heavenly Dao Method.

Finally, this Shuize Method with contradictions everywhere was formed.

Ren Qing smiled bitterly. He recorded the Shuize Method on paper, because the content was missing, so he couldn't call out the information flow to check.

But since it involves the Eating Immortal Method and the Heavenly Dao Method, it should not be difficult to figure it out.

But if you want to practice, you must make some modifications, otherwise the disadvantages are too great.

"Just stay in the house, if you don't do anything, you will naturally not be tortured."

Liu Chuan nodded repeatedly, squatted in the corner covering his head, and laughed neurotically.

Ren Qing left some ghost shadows in Baiyun Temple to monitor Liu Chuan, and by the way suppressed the ghost shadow in the other party's body, so as to determine the effect of the alienation.

Sorry, it's late, it's too much trouble.
