The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing's following days were uneventful. Every morning, he went to Qingfeng Martial Arts Hall to practice martial arts, but he felt he was still lacking the final push to master body martial arts.

However, his own strength did not stagnate. Relying on the You Yuan within the jade pendant artifact, he successfully stepped into the late stage of Qi training with the Underworld Heavenly Insect Art.

He estimated that in at most half a month, he would be able to try to break through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The reason why the Underworld Heavenly Insect Art was so smooth was mainly because Ren Qing's physique, under the effect of the Insect Meridian, had completely transformed into an insect body.

His appearance had also changed as a result.

First of all, his skin became more and more resilient. Although it could not reach the hardness of the external insect armor, it also possessed the toughness of the Heavenly Dao insect skin.

Secondly, bone spurs grew out of his back to protect the insect roots within his spine.

Because it was difficult to control his strength, he needed to spend more energy on restraining himself, and the movements he made while practicing martial arts became even lighter.

Ren Qing was in a horse stance, his open hands holding two stone balls weighing seventy to eighty pounds each, maintaining the posture for a long time.

The training ground of Qingfeng Martial Arts Hall was silent, with only occasional whispers.

Even Zhao Liangxin did not dare to disturb Ren Qing. He had to deliberately lower his voice when instructing his junior brothers, let alone the others.

The pressure Ren Qing brought was too real.

Even when squatting in a horse stance, his height already exceeded that of children like Xu Tu, like a hare and a black bear, the scene was unparalleled.

What shocked them the most was that, except for lunch when he would relax a bit, Ren Qing maintained the posture of holding up the stone balls at all times, and there was not a trace of sweat on his clothes.

Ordinary people would feel obvious stinging pain in their legs after holding a horse stance for half an hour.

Even martial arts practitioners could only last for an hour at most. How could Ren Qing treat practicing as drinking water and eating, which showed the horror of his talent.

Zhao Liangxin could see Ren Qing's hands and feet trembling slightly, indicating that he was completely relying on his willpower to persevere, and he really didn't know what to say.

What he didn't know was that Ren Qing was still distracted by cultivating the Underworld Heavenly Insect Art.

Due to Ren Qing's influence, the Qingfeng Martial Arts Hall disciples' attitude towards martial arts had obviously become more serious, and the number of times Xu Fu came to the training ground had also decreased.

The sky gradually darkened, and the golden sunset shone on Wei'an Town.

When the sunset fell on Ren Qing's trembling eyelids, he suddenly opened his eyes, and an invisible aura suddenly emanated.

Xu Tu staggered and fell to the ground, but he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he looked at Ren Qing with reverence.

The sound of bones colliding came from Ren Qing's body, as if he was impatiently releasing the hidden power after accumulating it for a whole day.

He moved his wrist joints, and then threw the two stone balls not far away.

The sweat from the pores of Ren Qing's skin poured out instantly, exaggeratingly turning into thick smoke and dust, filling the training ground.

Zhao Liangxin couldn't help but smile bitterly and mutter to himself, "Even if I see it a hundred times, Senior Brother Shanlu will still make me feel terrified."

The other junior brothers showed expressions of agreement.

Martial artists do not have specific realms, but various martial arts halls have the basic three levels of "Controlling Force", "Releasing Force", and "Withdrawing Force".

Xu Tu was in the Controlling Force realm of tempering the body, the older disciples were practicing the Releasing Force realm of explosive power, and only Zhao Liangxin was trying the Withdrawing Force realm of making light work of heavy loads.

But what Ren Qing showed was a bit outrageous. No one had ever heard of Withdrawing Force being able to close all the pores of the body, locking the sweat inside.

The smoke and dust gradually disappeared.

Ren Qing moved his muscles and bones, and then came to the banyan tree next to the courtyard.

There was a half-meter-large wooden bucket filled with tea made from ginseng, blood velvet, and other medicinal materials, which was a great tonic.

Xu Fu said that all the disciples could drink it, but no one would touch the medicinal tea at all.

On the one hand, with their physique, if they took medicinal tea every day, it would only do harm in the long run, and might even stimulate the growth of recessive diseases.

On the other hand…

Ren Qing held the wooden bucket with both hands, and sharp fangs were revealed in his open mouth.

As his Adam's apple moved, a full dozen pounds of medicinal tea was swallowed whole into his stomach, and the unpleasant medicinal smell immediately spread out.

Burp~~~

Ren Qing could feel his body cells jumping, which showed how much Xu Fu had invested.

His current height has shrunk slightly, from the two-meter-two Confucius template to just over two meters, and his muscles have also been restrained a lot.

It's not that the disease species don't advance or retreat, but that the insect body has strange abilities that allow Ren Qing to control himself to a certain extent.

If Ren Qing let go of the restrictions, his height should have exceeded that of Confucius.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the Qingfeng Martial Arts Hall disciples said goodbye to Ren Qing one after another and left, and he also walked towards his home.

When Ren Qing walked through the secluded alleys, he would also devour meat to supplement his nutrition.

It's a pity that the food carried by the Ghost Shadow has been exhausted, and the growth of various disease species will inevitably slow down next, which is also something that can't be helped.

Ren Qing felt that if he couldn't obtain body martial arts again, it would be necessary to risk advancing the disease species to ensure that the growth of his strength did not stagnate.

He walked very fast, and in a moment he was near the location of the courtyard.

At this time, Ren Qing suddenly slowed down, and his right hand also reached behind him to secretly gather strength.

He saw that not far from him, there were three people walking towards him, and none of them were ordinary people, and they must have mastered some kind of body martial arts.

However, when Ren Qing saw Xu Sanliang among them, his expression relaxed a little, and the Ghost Shadow under his feet spread out silently.

An old man in his seventies or eighties had strange ink-black arms, and the sound of metal colliding could be heard when he touched the brick wall.

[Xu Shiwang]

[Age: Eighty-one]

[Lifespan: Thirteen years]

[Disease Species: Treant Species, Cold Disease Species]

[Body Martial Arts: Stone Tablet Palm Technique (Ghost Envoy)]

If Ren Qing remembered correctly, Treant Syndrome should cause hard blocks similar to tree roots to grow on the limbs, and the cause is unknown.

Another man was at most forty years old, wearing an ill-fitting wide robe, with no obvious abnormality, but his eyeballs were covered with bloodshot.

[Lu Changlu]

[Age: Thirty-seven]

[Lifespan: Thirty-nine years]

[Disease Species: Red Eye Disease Species]

[Body Martial Arts: Hundred Step Vision (Half-Corpse)]

Xu Sanliang nodded to Ren Qing, and the other two people's faces looked a little complicated, especially Xu Shiwang kept looking at him.

Ren Qing brushed past the three people and walked towards the courtyard without stopping.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

After he came within ten meters of the courtyard, a faint stench entered his nose. It seemed that Wang Qi had suppressed his injuries.

Ren Qing opened the door, and sure enough, Wang Qi was sitting on the stone bench.

Wang Qi was at least ten years older, with white hair on his temples, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were more pronounced, but the leprosy was no longer obvious.

Even though he had been mentally prepared for Ren Qing's changes because of Xu Sanliang, he was still frightened by his burly body.

Wang Ling stood beside him timidly, and her eyes lit up when she saw Ren Qing.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice, "Shanlu…"

He shook his head and gestured for Ren Qing to sit down around the stone table.

As soon as Ren Qing sat down, he heard Wang Qi ask with a wry smile, "Shanlu, I know you are not from Wei'an Town. Do you remember your original name?"

Ren Qing wrote the two characters "Ren Qing" on the table with his index finger.

Wang Qi said with relief, "It's good to remember, it's good to remember. One must understand who he is in this life…"

He rambled on for a long time, and finally said, "I will no longer stop you from contacting body martial arts, but there is one thing I want to ask you to do."

Ren Qing nodded slightly.

"I'm neither dead nor alive, but Ling'er is different…"

"She is still young, and it would be a pity to accompany me to the Yellow Springs. Try to treat Ling'er as your younger sister, and help her if there is any danger."

Wang Qi's words were like explaining his last words, and his voice was full of exhaustion.

Ren Qing patiently listened to Wang Qi's narration, and also talked about his experiences more than ten years ago.

Wang Qi used tea instead of wine, and poured cups one after another without stopping, until he was slightly drunk before continuing, "You also be careful, the next involvement is very big, and Wei'an Town will not be peaceful."

Ren Qing raised his eyebrows, thinking of Xu Sanliang's words about rebuilding the Undead Town.

Could it be that after the death of Peach Blossom Immortal, Longevity Immortal is preparing to send other disciples to take charge of this place, and it is likely that a new "Peach Garden" will be sown again.

"Wang Ling does some odd jobs in the Black Stone Hall. I will let her eat and live in the martial arts hall to avoid any accidents."

Speaking of this, Wang Qi looked at Ren Qing with a strange expression and asked, "Shanlu, I have never seen the masters of multiple martial arts halls come forward. You are the first time."

"You should have met just now, namely Xu Sanliang of Qingfeng Hall, Xu Shiwang of Black Stone Hall, and Lu Changlu of Songhe Hall."

"You can choose a martial arts hall to contact body martial arts…"

Wang Qi couldn't help but remind, "Actually, Xu Shiwang has the highest cultivation level, and the Black Stone Hall's specialty in fist and palm is also well-known."

"Forget it, you can do it yourself."

He naturally hoped that Ren Qing would go to the Black Stone Hall so that he could be closer to Wang Ling, but thinking of Xu Sanliang, he didn't say any more.

Ren Qing pondered for a few breaths, and still decided to join Qingfeng Hall.

After all, Xu Fu had not been stingy at all during this period, and going to other martial arts halls would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Of course, the most important thing is that he felt that as long as he mastered a body martial art, with the improvement of his strength, more body martial arts would follow.

Seeing that Ren Qing had made up his mind, Wang Qi began to give some pointers on cultivation matters, emphasizing that body martial arts cultivators are very prone to cultivation deviation.

However, he did not master body martial arts, and many things were hearsay.

Wang Ling prepared the meals, and Wang Qi stopped talking until the moon hung in the sky.

Ren Qing simply distracted himself by operating the Underworld Heavenly Insect Art because he couldn't speak.

After hesitating for a few breaths, Wang Qi said, "In the future, you may encounter immortals. At that time, no matter what your cultivation level is, remember not to offend them."

"Remember…"

After he finished speaking, he swayed and walked into the厢房, and soon there was a shout.

Ren Qing's eyes were deep. He would not underestimate them because he had killed a Longevity Seed. There are hundreds of thousands of weird objects in the restricted area, and the number of immortals is larger than imagined.

What's more, Peach Blossom Immortal is a disciple of Longevity Immortal, and the situation of Fortune and Prosperity Immortals is unknown.

He lay on the bed to rest, and Wang Qi left the courtyard in the middle of the night, obviously the situation in Wei'an Town was extremely complex and changeable.

The next day, Wang Ling said goodbye to Ren Qing and moved into the Black Stone Hall.

Seeing this, Ren Qing planned to stay in Qingfeng Hall for a long time and practice body martial arts by the way.

The next chapter is about body martial arts, please wait.
