The Secret Way of Immortality

When daylight fully arrived, the Ghost Shadow Night Tour ability naturally dissipated, and the main soul consciousness returned to the body.

Chen An stood up fanatically and walked towards the open space surrounded by patients.

Ren Qing noticed that these patients were divided into three layers. The outermost layer had relatively mild lesions, and their appearance was almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.

The patients in the inner layers had bizarre changes in appearance. For example, their skin resembled that of a toad, constantly developing sores, or their bodies showed signs of petrification.

Gao Liang was also among them, and his position indicated that his status was not low.

There were only three patients in the innermost circle. They looked up and muttered to themselves, as if communicating with the Longevity Immortal, with extremely respectful attitudes.

These three patients were already quite old, and they wore thick Taoist robes to cover their bodies, sitting cross-legged on stone piers.

In the world of hysteria, the stone piers resembled seven-colored lotus flowers.

The three identified themselves as disciples of the Longevity Immortal, and the other patients addressed them as senior brothers.

Ren Qing felt a stabbing pain in his mind. Without the protection of the main soul consciousness and the closed Dream Seed transformed into double pupils, the hysteria became even more severe.

The noisy sounds within Unburied Town faded away.

He subconsciously looked up at the Longevity Immortal, feeling that everything nearby was silent.

The Longevity Immortal's gaze was loving, but it revealed a puppet-like rigidity, clearly lacking intelligence. Everything was a figment of the imagination.

His voice was deafening.

"There is Taiyi, there is Taichu, there is Taishi, there is Taisu."

"Taiyi is the unseen Qi, Taichu is the beginning of Qi, Taishi is the beginning of form, Taisu is..."

He felt that the content was somewhat familiar, probably pieced together from various techniques in his memory. It seemed profound, but it was illogical.

Presumably, everyone heard different things from the Longevity Immortal.

Cultivation is hysteria, and even immortal techniques are derived from hysteria, but for some reason, he always felt that the patients did indeed show signs of techniques.

Ren Qing's Dream Seed on his forehead opened a slit, and then he walked out of the alley.

The Longevity Immortal chanted for a long time, but soon his figure disappeared, and the medicinal fragrance emanating from the source became noticeably weaker.

A cold smile appeared on Ren Qing's lips.

The collective hysteria should be caused by the Longevity Immortal statue, indicating that someone was using this to spread the medicinal fragrance in an attempt to control the patients.

It might involve the so-called "clinic."

Ren Qing thought as he continued walking, intending to take a look at the center of the town.

Of course, in the eyes of the patients, he was simply reckless, and they couldn't help but glare at him.

Gao Liang looked interested, obviously recognizing Ren Qing and realizing that the other party was "mad" enough to see the Longevity Immortal manifest.

The old man walked out of the crowd with a stooped back, his head twice the size of a normal person's, and said in a bad tone, "Where did you come from, you greenhorn? Why don't you kneel when you see the three Celestial Masters?"

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes, and the Ghost Shadow inadvertently flowed to the old man's feet.

Information Stream surged.

【Zhou Yi】

【Age: Thirty-two】

【Lifespan: One year and thirty days】

【Disease: Hysteria, Brain Tumor】

As expected, it was hysteria.

Seeing that Ren Qing was unmoved, Zhou Yi suddenly erupted with fluctuations of techniques.

Ren Qing frowned, seeing a large amount of water vapor surrounding Zhou Yi's palm, forming ice beads the size of fingernails.

The patients looked at Ren Qing with playful eyes, discussing among themselves, showing that Zhou Yi still had some prestige among the patients.

Ren Qing was stunned.

He clearly sensed the aura of techniques on the other party, but this aura seemed unusually strange, like water without a source.

Ren Qing's Dream Seed on his forehead opened, and the protection of the magic tool eliminated the hysteria. The medicinal fragrance turned into an unpleasant burnt smell again, and the illusion disappeared.

In his own Information Stream, the hysteria disease was also gone.

But Zhou Yi changed his face, with an old gourd in his hand, taking sips from time to time, and spraying water stains on his palm like a shaman.

Such an absurd scene, where could one see any magic?

"Techniques and hysteria are closely related, so is it an illusion or does it really exist?"

But then again, if Ren Qing was also in a state of hysteria, would Zhou Yi's seemingly real but fake techniques be useful?

The commotion in the town attracted the attention of the nearby guards.

Although they were accustomed to the morning exercises, they felt a chill run down their spines every time, and they were warned not to contact the patients.

Just as the guards were about to fire arrows to warn the patients, someone suddenly noticed Chen An.

Jin Chengxiang was furious and pulled up the guard next to him, asking, "What's going on? Didn't I say not to get close to the patients?"

"I don't know either."

"He even took off the mask of the mountain demon. He's probably beyond saving. Tell the brothers not to..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a guard who had a good relationship with Chen An quickly running towards Chen An, wanting to bring the latter back outside the town.

Jin Chengxiang quickly shouted, "Damn it, stop!"

The guards gritted their teeth and stood in place.

They were all a little confused. Why were the patients, who were usually easy to deal with, so feared by Jin Chengxiang?

The guards rushed into the street, and the patients immediately rioted.

"Heavenly soldiers?!"

"Run, it's the heavenly soldiers..."

The Celestial Masters in the innermost circle waved their hands, ordering the many patients to block the way, while they themselves struggled to escape the open space.

The guards killed the patients blocking the way, as if entering an uninhabited land.

In the world of hysteria.

The patients displayed their supernatural powers, spitting fire, touching water, summoning thunder, and dropping stones, creating a grand scene.

But the guards exuded a faint light, and the various techniques displayed by the patients could not harm them in the slightest.

He ran to Chen An, grabbed the mask, and wanted to put it back on the latter's head, but Chen An firmly locked his hands.

The other guards tried to shoot arrows to rescue the two, but seeing that the casualties among the patients began to increase, Jin Chengxiang chose to retreat.

"Anzi, Anzi!!!"

The guards kept calling out to Chen An, but the latter had a strange smile on his face, cooperating with the patients to remove his mask as well.

"You should see the immortal path, witness the magnificent path of longevity..."

After absorbing the black smoke, the guard's expression became dazed.

Zhou Yi glanced at Ren Qing, then raised his right arm with a strange smile, vigorously flicking his palm stained with water, and the temperature immediately dropped.

Specks of ice crystals flew towards the guard.

In the real world, it was just an ordinary act. The ice crystals were actually just water droplets, but the guard began to convulse frantically.

His eyes turned white, and he became stiff from the cold.

"So, there really... is immortals... in this world..."

The guard reached out to the Longevity Immortal, blood overflowing from his mouth and nose, and his last bit of life was gone.

The corpse fell to the ground.

Chen An didn't care at all, took off his chain armor, and offered it to Zhou Yi.

Ren Qing constantly switched the Dream Seed. In the world of hysteria, the guard was frozen to death, but in the real world, he was scared to death.

From this, it could be seen that the patients' techniques were indeed useful, but only to those who had hysteria. Most of the guards were immune.

The guards didn't seem to intend to kill them all, but rather deliberately blockaded the town, allowing the patients to live within the range of the Longevity Immortal statue.

The patients turned a blind eye to the corpses on the street, each making hand seals and returning to their houses. Soon, the sound of chanting Taoist scriptures rang out in the town.

The guards not only lost two men, but Jin Chengxiang had to order people to drag the corpses back and burn them to prevent the plague from spreading.

Ren Qing had the Ghost Shadow leave his body and go to the center of Unburied Town. He did find a dilapidated clinic with at least twenty or thirty patients inside.

However, the Ghost Shadow couldn't get hysteria, so no matter how he looked at it, it was no different from an ordinary clinic, indicating that he had to go there himself.

Ren Qing intentionally waited in the alley, still maintaining the state of hysteria, wanting to take this opportunity to understand the longevity forbidden zone.

Before long, Gao Liang came to his door.

Having not seen him for half a day, Gao Liang looked even thinner. He sized up Ren Qing, and his tone seemed a little surprised.

"You're indeed mad enough..."

"You actually dare to offend Zhou Yi. You've seen the Ice Crystal Technique. It can easily take lives. Are you afraid?"

Ren Qing asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of offending Zhou Yi?"

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

Gao Liang's body emitted white light, even dispelling the darkness in the alley.

"I have mastered the Vajra Indestructible Iron Armor Spell. Unless it's a heavenly soldier's weapon, even a Celestial Master can't hurt me."

No matter how Ren Qing observed Gao Liang, he was indeed using techniques.

"Where do your immortal techniques come from?"

"Of course, they were taught by the Longevity Immortal. You are now just a 'Taoist'. When you master the immortal techniques, you will be a 'Taoist Lord'. When the immortal techniques are completed, you will become a 'Celestial Master'."

Gao Liang's tone was full of admiration, and saliva slowly dripped from the corners of his mouth.

Ren Qing felt that immortal techniques were more like fantasies in a state of madness. Rather than saying that the Longevity Immortal taught the Dao, it was more like a product of imagination.

But within the longevity forbidden zone, it was in accordance with the rules.

Ren Qing's mind moved slightly, and he asked, "What exactly is in the clinic?"

"There are doctors. We mortals inevitably lose lifespan and damage Yang when cultivating immortal techniques. The real method of transcendence is in the clinic..."

Gao Liang's breathing became heavy as he spoke. Clearly, every patient's goal was the clinic.

In their hearts, the two words 'medical skill' represented a mystery far surpassing immortal techniques. Being able to cure diseases and prolong life was the great path to longevity.

Ren Qing continued to ask a few questions about the clinic, learning that only a small number of Celestial Masters could break through the mortal realm and enter it.

Gao Liang's tone was a little smug, and he said in a strange tone, "The reason why Zhou Yi is targeting you is because you and I have the same physique. The immortal techniques we cultivate are all methods of nourishing the body..."

"The method of nourishing the body is far more long-lived than other methods. You and I will definitely be able to enter the clinic."

Ren Qing's mouth twitched. Deformity was indeed not as big a defect as various diseases. In theory, it could live longer.

Gao Liang talked endlessly, hinting that he could protect Ren Qing, but his expression became greedy: "After the Immortal Venerable teaches the Dharma, are you willing to explore the great path together?"

He wanted to obtain the immortal technique of the same deformed disease. Ren Qing naturally agreed.

Immortal techniques might even overdraft lifespan. The clinic probably had the real method of prolonging life. Could it be that the prerequisite for cultivation was related to hysteria?

Gao Liang nodded in satisfaction, using all fours to disappear into the alley.

Ren Qing then returned to the house. Although he was not affected by hysteria at all, he did not act rashly for the next few days.

He had tried going to the clinic in a state of hysteria, but the influence of the Longevity Immortal statue was too great and had to be gradually adapted to.
