The Secret Way of Immortality

Tree?

Ren Qing was taken aback. Why would Song Zongwu use a tree to describe a Ghost Envoy Realm technique? It couldn't help but remind him of the mutated tree in his mind.

The mutated tree currently had only three branches, representing three directions of mutation.

But as his cultivation increased, many branches had begun to sprout buds, showing a tendency to branch out and grow leaves.

As for whether it was closely related to the Ghost Envoy Realm, he would know after breaking through.

Song Zongwu explained, "The direction of mutation in the Half-Corpse Realm is just choosing the main path. The Ghost Envoy Realm will face countless forks in the road."

"Forks in the road..."

Ren Qing frowned.

Could it be that the direction of mutation would become even more uncontrollable? Then how could he be sure that he was taking the safest path?

He could only hope that the information flow ability would be useful.

Song Zongwu seemed to have guessed Ren Qing's concerns.

He shook his head and said, "The direction of mutation has already been determined with the advancement to the Half-Corpse Realm. The Ghost Envoy Realm mainly involves undergoing three transformations."

"The so-called transformation is also known as a strange transformation, which is a necessary process to completely shed the mortal body and attain the Great Dao."

Ren Qing always felt that it was not convincing for a demon cultivator like Song Zongwu with six eyes and four arms to mention the Great Dao.

But for now, he didn't need to think too much. He should first advance to the Ghost Envoy Realm.

Song Zongwu continued, "Don't think that you advanced to the Half-Corpse Realm with a less than a month technique, but you will still need to grind in the Ghost Envoy Realm."

Ren Qing understood that the Martial Human Realm was just a preliminary grasp of techniques, the Half-Corpse Realm was just stepping through the door, and the Ghost Envoy Realm was the real foundation building.

Moreover, according to the trend of the information flow consuming ten times more lifespan with each advancement, the next Underworld Official Realm would probably require about a hundred years.

The lifespan extension limit of the Eyeless Method might not be that high, so he had to find a new technique or cultivate on his own.

But the risk of autonomously advancing techniques was too great. Even Song Zongwu back then didn't have a definite grasp, so he went into secluded cultivation.

Song Zongwu asked, "Ren Qing, do you have any thoughts of joining the Night Watchmen?"

After Song Rong's incident, he didn't want Ren Qing to repeat the same mistakes, so he treated him as his junior.

"Senior Song, I would like to ask about the advantages and disadvantages of the Night Watchmen."

Ren Qing didn't rush to refuse or agree.

He still had some concerns in his heart, especially since his original plan was to lie low until the Ghost Envoy Realm.

Song Zongwu vaguely replied, "Don't think that the Night Watchmen belong to the yamen, but in reality, they are independent of each other."

"Although the Night Watchmen face more dangers, they are all confirmed not to be life-threatening. The internal structure is also relatively loose, and it is convenient to obtain resources."

He hinted meaningfully, "Tasks will also take into account the wishes of the Night Watchmen, and there is no compulsion."

Ren Qing was stunned. Why did he feel that the treatment of the Night Watchmen was somewhat different from what he had imagined?

Shouldn't they be doing dirty and tiring work, constantly experiencing life-and-death crises, and finally sacrificing themselves for the greater good?!!

Wait...

Then he suddenly realized the biggest difference between the Night Watchmen and the yamen runners.

Because the Night Watchmen would form strange objects after death, the yamen actually mainly adopted a gentle policy. How dare they let them die?

It could be seen from the handling of the Disaster Elimination Zone that the safest method of blockade was chosen, and even the Night Watchmen were not allowed to directly contact the restricted area.

The yamen and the Night Watchmen were more like a mutually beneficial relationship, rather than a direct subordinate relationship.

"The Night Watchmen also control a considerable number of strange objects, so cultivators who rely on devouring strange objects to advance will rack their brains to get in."

Ren Qing's heart moved slightly. This seemed useless, but in fact, to him, strange objects were not much different from technique manuals.

If he could come into contact with them, he would definitely be able to choose a technique suitable for himself, and even the problem of lifespan extension could be easily solved.

Seeing that Ren Qing was somewhat interested, Song Zongwu continued, "For you, the Night Watchmen have more rare resources, such as using better beast eyes to assist in cultivation."

Song Zongwu stopped there and did not require Ren Qing to join the Night Watchmen.

But Ren Qing soon made a decision. It made sense that the Night Watchmen really had advantages and no disadvantages, and were even safer than being a stoker.

Wasn't this more comfortable than being a civil servant?

"Senior Song, then how can I join the Night Watchmen?"

Song Zongwu showed a slight smile: "There are not many places each year, and they have to be allocated with other towns. You have to wait until you return to Sanxiang City to ask the yamen."

The two chatted for a long time, and Ren Qing took the opportunity to ask about the information of the Seed Demon Scripture.

Song Zongwu had heard of this technique, and the two known directions of mutation both involved blood.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

In addition to the "Heart Controller" who used blood to control the minds of others, there was also the "Blood Drinker" who gave blood intelligence, thereby summoning puppets.

Ren Qing was still somewhat interested in the Seed Demon Scripture, and besides, at his current speed of extending his life, he could replenish thirty days of lifespan in about two days.

However, since the Night Watchmen had a large number of strange objects, there was actually no need to force it.

If he had the opportunity to get close to the stone statue, he would use the information flow to master it. If there was no good opportunity, he would put it aside for the time being.

Ren Qing saw that it was getting late, so he prepared to go to the camp to rest.

Song Zongwu reminded in a deep voice, "Water Gourd's character is capricious. When he approaches here, I will use Blood Heart to summon you."

"Senior Song, don't worry."

Ren Qing immediately felt apprehensive, but since Song Zongwu was present, there should be no major problems.

After he returned to the camp, he found that only Mu Yi was stationed there, and he did not see the踪迹 of the other Night Watchmen.

Seeing this, Ren Qing focused his attention on cultivation, mainly visualizing the Eyeless Method and the Gluttony Method.

Even if he didn't plan to autonomously advance to the Ghost Envoy Realm, cultivation could always strengthen his strength.

The Gluttony Method mainly expanded the space within the alien stomach.

Although the expansion was not large, it was relatively objective when accumulated daily, and he would soon be able to fit the large Miao sword.

As Ren Qing's mastery of the Eyeless Method deepened, he clearly felt that his soul had an urge to travel outside.

It should involve the twin nightmare ghosts of the Ghost Envoy Realm, and it was probably related to the soul entering the Disaster Elimination Zone.

Because the Divine Foot Scripture could not be shown off, as a secondary cultivation technique, its progress was the most obvious through devouring wolf blood.

Ren Qing was already able to cover his whole body with werewolf transformation, completely turning into a silver-haired snow wolf, but it could only last for about half an hour.

The body after werewolf transformation would receive an all-round increase, especially the "anticipation" of the heavy pupils, which seemed to further enhance the perception of danger.

Ren Qing spent several days in peaceful secluded cultivation until the Blood Heart in his arms suddenly accelerated its beating speed.

He knew that the Disaster Elimination Zone was about to come to an end, which also represented the arrival of Water Gourd.

Ren Qing immediately set off, and Mu Yi did the same. As for the strange objects, they were buried deep in the ground of the camp.

When Ren Qing approached the Disaster Elimination Zone.

He found that Camel Peak had indeed undergone earth-shaking changes, which did not seem like it could be formed in just a few days.
