The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing didn't wait for Huang Ziwan to sober up. This Drunken Life, Dream Death wine would probably take until the ghost market closed to finish, and he didn't have that kind of time.

He immediately returned to the Fire Worker Hall, intending to advance to the Spinal Bone realm.

However, Ren Qing first went to the Immortal Buddha Shrine to slip the prepared note under the lotus throne where Song Zongwu chanted his morning scriptures.

But as soon as he reached into the gap, he sensed something was wrong. The note he had placed there before was still untouched.

The note contained information about the anomaly he discovered when he encountered the Earth God in the Secret Pavilion.

This showed that Song Zongwu hadn't been to the Immortal Buddha Shrine in the past few days.

Ren Qing simply left both notes in the gap of the lotus throne, then bypassed the patrolling constables and returned to the Fire Worker Hall the way he came.

He wasn't worried about it. The matter of Rotten Mud would have already alarmed the Forbidden Soldiers Hall, and now the Earth God was definitely wanted as well.

Having witnessed the power of the Great Dream True Man, he didn't think the Earth God could survive for long.

Maybe Song Zongwu was dealing with this matter.

It was already night when Ren Qing entered the side room. Bo Feng and the other yamen runners had just fallen asleep, making it the perfect time to break through with the Scaled Armor Technique.

He first visualized the Eyeless Method several times to confirm there were no anomalies, then summoned the information stream, discovering that the lifespan column had changed quite a bit.

It had only been three or four hours since Ren Qing swallowed the stone eye, but his lifespan had already increased by nearly ten days, far more efficient than beast eyes.

His only concern was that the Eyeless Method's reliance on swallowing eyes to extend lifespan probably had a limit. It was impossible to live past a hundred years, and even fifty years was doubtful.

Otherwise, Song Rong wouldn't have been so desperate, even considering obtaining a strange object from the Calamity Forbidden Zone.

Ren Qing shook his head, trying to calm his mind to avoid affecting his Scaled Armor Technique's advancement to the Half-Corpse realm.

There was no need to think too much now. At least he had only just joined the Forbidden Soldiers reserve and already knew another method of extending lifespan.

【Do you want to choose the Spinal Bone branch, which will consume 1 year of lifespan】

The moment Ren Qing's lifespan flowed away, his eyes widened and he knelt on the ground, his spine wriggling like a living thing.

There wasn't much pain, but it was conceivable that the spine, as the central hub, would suddenly mutate.

Ren Qing only felt unable to move, but the skin on his back was gradually being stretched open, as if something was about to burst out.

"Damn..."

His scalp tingled, but fortunately the advancement didn't last long, only about ten minutes.

Ren Qing quickly reached back, feeling that his spine seemed to be thicker than before, but the other differences weren't very significant.

If he didn't integrate his Natal Magic Tool, this mutation path would be useless.

The mutation tree in his mind also had corresponding changes.

【Iron Bone Armor: Outer skin turns to bone】

【Bone Weapon Attachment: Incorporate bone as weapon】

【Bone Growth as Seed: Bone Tree Sentience】

After advancing to the Ghost Envoy realm, would all the bones in the Spinal Bone cultivator's body transform into magic tools?

Ren Qing didn't know.

He took the Dragon-Snake Spine from his Alien Stomach, carefully examining the spine that looked like a silver whip, becoming more and more satisfied.

Then Ren Qing was in a bit of a dilemma.

He hadn't even flipped through the Scaled Armor Technique's spell books. Relying solely on the information stream, he didn't know how to integrate the Dragon-Snake Spine into his own spine.

Ren Qing first tried to attach the Dragon-Snake Spine to his back, but it was still useless.

Seeing this, he simply took out his Broadsword and applied force to the back of his neck.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Ren Qing, while preparing to use the Skin Refiner to transfer the injury at any time, grabbed the Dragon-Snake Spine and placed it on the wound where bone was visible.

A blood-drinking sound rang out.

Before he could react, the Dragon-Snake Spine suddenly moved.

Ren Qing gasped.

Whether it was the spine devouring the Dragon-Snake Spine, or the spell causing the latter to mutate, he now felt like a python was burrowing into his bones.

But this also showed that Natal Magic Tools were indeed not limited to weapons.

After the entire Dragon-Snake Spine completely disappeared, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon there wasn't even a trace on the surface.

Ren Qing closed his eyes to feel it. There was indeed a chill flowing in his spine, spreading to various bones along with the spinal cord.

It was a pleasant surprise. He didn't expect that the Scaled Armor Technique wouldn't require active cultivation, but would nourish the bones on its own at all times.

He placed his right hand on his neck and directly pulled out the Dragon-Snake Spine.

The Dragon-Snake Spine changed from its original silver-white to bone-white, growing bone blades similar to barbs, looking extremely ferocious.

Ren Qing held the Dragon-Snake Spine, and the entire magic tool twisted like a long snake.

His arm didn't need to exert any force at all. The Dragon-Snake Spine directly lengthened to more than ten meters, piercing a fist-sized hole in the wall.

The most terrifying thing was that the Dragon-Snake Spine combined speed and sharpness, and didn't make a sound when passing through the wall.

Ren Qing's double pupils turned slightly, seeing several bats in the darkness through the window.

Whoosh!!!

The Dragon-Snake Spine instantly extended, piercing the bats, and at the same time, the bone blades unfolded, directly bringing the corpses back to Ren Qing's hand.

The Alien Mouth swallowed the bat corpses, and then they were absorbed by the Alien Stomach.

Ren Qing was slightly regretful. The Natal Magic Tool was indeed very handy and met his expectations, but it was difficult to pull it out of his spine discreetly.

Unless the magic tool could be more flexible.

He put the Dragon-Snake Spine into his spine, then closed his eyes and tried to sense the magic tool.

But that chill was like it had intelligence, and didn't respond after a long time of communication, until Ren Qing became ruthless and directly threw the Dragon-Snake Spine into the prison in his abdomen.

Under the threat of being swallowed, the Dragon-Snake Spine naturally obeyed.

Ren Qing casually controlled the magic tool to flow through his bones, and then drilled out of the ribs of his chest and abdomen.

However, the flesh was torn open, leaving a huge wound...

How did it feel like he hadn't hurt the enemy yet, but hurt himself first? But the only exposed bones on his body seemed to be his teeth, right?

No, there was also the Alien Mouth.

Ren Qing continued to try, and it was indeed most convenient to use the teeth of the Alien Mouth, which could directly pull the opponent into the Alien Stomach.

The Alien Mouth also had repulsive force to assist from the side. With the cooperation of the two spells, ordinary cultivators couldn't resist at all.

He had only just refined his Natal Magic Tool, and when the Spinal Bone cultivator advanced to the Ghost Envoy realm, its power would definitely increase to a higher level.

Even after a strange transformation, it would produce magical powers, showing how strong the growth potential of this magic tool was.

Ren Qing came to the courtyard to practice before dawn, mainly wanting to extend the Dragon-Snake Spine from the Alien Mouth faster.

It was a pity that there was only one Dragon-Snake Spine. If it could differentiate into dozens, the scene would be unimaginable.

Ren Qing retracted the Dragon-Snake Spine. Seeing that Bo Feng woke up after dawn, he quickly asked him to contact Zhao Book吏 to repair the side room and the backyard.

Bo Feng rubbed his eyes blankly, his face full of disbelief.

Before going to bed, the courtyard wall was still intact, but when he woke up, there were hundreds of holes, and the morning sun shone on the ground through them.

This didn't look like it was cut out by Ren Qing's Broadsword at all. How did it feel like a military iron spear was used for continuous thrusts.

Bo Feng reported to Zhao Book吏 with apprehension.

He thought that the other party would hold him accountable, but he didn't expect that the repair of the courtyard would actually allocate hundreds of taels, and also expand the area below.

Please follow up, please follow up, everyone.
