The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing felt a little absurd, but he soon came to terms with it.

After all, the deterrent brought by a decaying Yang God realm corpse was too terrifying, like a sword hanging over his head.

Only by finding the corpse of the Ksitigarbha or resurrecting him could the problem be solved once and for all.

“The function of the Soul Summoning Technique is to summon the soul of a newly deceased corpse, and under normal circumstances, it cannot be used for resurrection…”

Song Zongwu said expressionlessly, his voice slow and cautious.

Humans have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls represent the heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the human soul; the seven spirits are Corpse Dog,伏矢,雀阴, Devouring Thief, Non-Poison, Dust Remover, and Stinky Lung.

At that time, the Jailer Hall, after preparation and spending a lot of resources, thought the chance was slim, but they didn't expect the Soul Summoning Technique to be useful.

However, it brought more fear to the jailers.

As the ritual progressed, the first to be summoned was the "Corpse Dog Spirit."

The Corpse Dog Spirit represents vigilance among the seven spirits, and should be full of wariness.

But it didn't avoid living people at all, and it was saying inexplicable words.

At first, it narrated about the content of beast corpses, but when the Soul Summoning Technique summoned the "Stinky Lung Spirit" to the Jailer Hall, the Corpse Dog's words began to involve dead people.

The jailers bit the bullet and continued to summon souls, and finally summoned the "Non-Poison Spirit."

Then there were those bizarre words about how to use living people as medicinal primers.

The most shocking thing was that, according to the jailers' speculation, the content was likely true, but no one has verified it yet.

Ren Qing gasped.

Doesn't this also mean that as more and more souls are summoned, the Corpse Dog Spirit's ability to bewitch people's hearts will also increase?

If it involves shortcuts in cultivation, even if it requires killing countless people, there will definitely be jailers who take the risk to try it.

The only fortunate thing is that currently there are only "Non-Poison Spirit", "Stinky Lung Spirit", and "Corpse Dog Spirit" in the Jailer Hall.

Song Zongwu suspected that these three spirits had nothing to do with the Ksitigarbha at all, and that the souls of some unknown existence were summoned to the Jailer Hall.

Ren Qing couldn't help but ask: "What are the Stinky Lung Spirit and the Non-Poison Spirit like?"

“The Stinky Lung Spirit constantly wanders in the Jailer Hall. Anyone who sees it will have uncontrollable anger until they kill the Stinky Lung Spirit.”

“The Stinky Lung Spirit can be resurrected seven days after death.”

“The Corpse Dog Spirit and the Stinky Lung Spirit are not very harmful. Only the Non-Poison Spirit has a certain degree of aggressiveness, but it is locked in a certain place in the Jailer Hall.”

Ren Qing nodded, gaining a deep understanding of the Jailer Hall, but also feeling the danger of this world.

Song Zongwu didn't talk much. Many secrets of the Jailer Hall cannot be known by probationary members.

“After the probationary member's token is made, a jailer will come to register and record, mainly to record the main cultivation techniques you have mastered.”

After Ren Qing expressed his understanding, he brought the topic to the techniques and asked about the information about the "Armor Plating Technique".

Song Zongwu didn't care about this. Even if Ren Qing had coincidentally obtained the secret manual of the Armor Plating Technique, whether or not he chose to cultivate it was none of his business.

As a guide, what he had to do was to inform Ren Qing about the advantages and disadvantages of various aberrant directions.

The Armor Plating Technique mainly involves the bones in the body, so the entry requirements are not very harsh. Song Zongwu does know something about it.

Bone Armor is the aberrant route that Sun Yishan took. After being promoted to the Ghost Envoy realm, the externally attached bone armor will turn into a non-bone and non-iron material.

Not to mention it is extremely tough, as long as the core spine is not damaged, the iron bones can be continuously generated, but the disadvantage of being clumsy will be further amplified.

After the Bone Armor is promoted to the Yin Messenger realm's "Leakless Steel Body", the flesh and blood all over the body will turn into steel and become integrated with the bones.

Bone Growth is more flexible and changeable. The cultivator can freely control the bones all over the body, growing like plant branches.

Under normal circumstances, Ren Qing might choose Bone Growth.

But then he learned about the potential of Spinal Bone, and the temptation was too great.

Spinal Bone mainly strengthens the bones, but weapons can be integrated into one's own spine.

As the spine absorbs the iron energy of the weapon and gradually becomes tougher, the weapon can also be nourished by the spine, forming a semi-bone and semi-iron material.

Even through prolonged weapon nurturing, the cultivator can achieve iron bones similar to Bone Armor, but the disadvantage is that damage to the weapon will indirectly injure the spine.

In a sense, Spinal Bone is nurturing a natal magic weapon.

It's a pity that Song Zongwu doesn't know the cultivation method of the Armor Plating Technique's aberrant route. It seems that he must consume lifespan to advance.

Let's talk about the Ghost Envoy realm. At that time, use the remaining lifespan to advance the Armor Plating Technique.

“There is no need to master too many techniques, proficiency is enough.”

“Uh…”

Ren Qing smiled awkwardly.

Now that he has mastered five techniques, he should indeed settle down for a while.

But if his guess about the Accessory Stomach is correct, he might be able to take another path…

Seeing Ren Qing fall into contemplation, Song Zongwu knew that the latter probably had some opportunities, but he didn't make a choice for him.

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

He left the Fire Worker Hall silently.

When Ren Qing came back to his senses, he only saw the paper left by Song Zongwu on the table, on which the location of the Secret Pavilion in the Jailer Hall was roughly drawn.

In fact, it is not far from the prison area.

Ren Qing didn't plan to rush to the Secret Pavilion. Before getting the probationary member's token, many places in the Jailer Hall could not be entered.

He focused his energy on accumulating lifespan, estimating that it would only take about three months to gather enough lifespan.

To this end, Ren Qing asked Zhang Butcher to pay attention to the eyeballs of various livestock.

Then he returned to the life of an ordinary fire worker.

Occasionally, there were corpses that died tragically in Tan Street, and Ren Qing would go with Bo Feng and the others to deal with them. Fortunately, they didn't involve weird objects.

Most of the corpses were related to gangs. By comparing the clothing, Ren Qing found that a total of three gangs were involved in the turmoil.

They are the Blood Dog Gang, the Snake Scale Gang, and the Red Flower Society.

It is mainly the competition for territory. This piece of land in the west of the city is really too fertile, especially after the stimulation of the braised offal business.

But currently it does not involve ordinary people, only small-scale conflicts.

The Blood Dog Gang has the most powerful forces on the surface, but according to the corpse ratio, Ren Qing thinks they should be surrounded and suppressed by the two gangs.

After Ren Qing warned Zhang Butcher to be careful, he planned to wait and see.

Under such circumstances.

He spent most of the month doing nothing, and the jailer finally came to register and record.

…………

Late at night.

Ren Qing was sitting cross-legged on the bed, contemplating the technique, when suddenly a large number of grass and tree roots poured in through the cracks in the doors and windows, turning into human form in the blink of an eye.

He subconsciously grabbed the Broadsword, almost unable to restrain himself from wielding the knife.

He saw Mu Yi walk out of the shadows and throw an iron token over.

Ren Qing quickly caught it and couldn't help but look at the token that had been made for nearly a month. The more he looked at it, the more he felt it was not exquisite.

The front of the token is "Jailer", the back is "Probationary Member", and Ren Qing's surname is engraved on the lower right corner, with no other patterns.

Ren Qing thought it was some kind of magic weapon.

He skillfully cut his finger and squeezed out a few drops of blood, but nothing happened.

And Mu Yi's eyes were like looking at an idiot.
