The Secret Way of Immortality

As daybreak approached, Ren Qing left the White Cloud Temple.

With the ghost shadow in charge, Liu Chuan would presumably not cause any more trouble, and the residents around the temple could finally enjoy a few days of peace.

Although for the Gobi people, the temple no longer accepting Daoist children might not necessarily be a good thing, as it meant fewer opportunities to become immortals.

They might even try to find ways to send their children to other temples.

Ren Qing arrived on the street, and the residents of Yellow Sand City began to return home one after another, and the street suddenly became deserted.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the outside of the city, intending to check the situation at the burial ground.

As a result, Ren Qing was stopped halfway by a fat Daoist in his early thirties, who should be an officially appointed Daoist belonging to the granary, judging by his plump physique.

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes and listened to the fat Daoist saying, "You are… Sand Mountain Child, right? What a coincidence today, I haven't seen you for a while and ran into you here."

"Indeed."

He pretended to imitate Sand Mountain Child's tone, and his appearance was basically maintained as an illusion at all times, so it was not surprising that he was recognized.

But Ren Qing knew that with his weak presence, the fat Daoist must have come looking for him deliberately, and it was definitely not the chance encounter he claimed.

The fat Daoist mysteriously leaned close to Ren Qing and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Sand Mountain Child, the Dao gathering hasn't been around for a few months, has it?"

"I have been quite busy with some things recently."

Because Sand Mountain Child had to take A'zhuo to familiarize himself with the work of officially appointed Daoists, he had chosen to decline the previous few Yellow Sand Dao gatherings.

The fat Daoist emphasized, "Fellow Daoist, don't miss it. The next Dao gathering will be next ten days by the Sand River."

"Definitely, definitely."

Ren Qing gave a perfunctory smile, staring at the fat Daoist's back for a few breaths.

He found that the fat Daoist's Qi refining method had reached the Great Cycle.

However, his lungs were slightly strange, several times larger than ordinary people, and filled with the smell of alcohol, which led to an increased burden on the rest of his internal organs.

It was estimated that he would have to fail in a few years.

Sand Mountain Child's talent was probably also limited, otherwise, how could his realm have been hovering in the Great Circulation despite being the first to come into contact with the Qi refining method.

Ren Qing guessed that something had happened to the Yellow Sand Dao gathering, so he absorbed the separated soul into the abdominal prison, scaring Sand Mountain Child.

He had not seen him for several hours, and Sand Mountain Child looked ten years older, his hair was scratched into a mess, and his eyes were a little red and swollen.

He was still holding the Wind and Sand Art, and had not yet considered whether to practice it.

"Upper… Upper Immortal, you…"

Sand Mountain Child's heart skipped a beat, and when he saw Ren Qing, he guessed that he had come to force him to practice the evil art, and couldn't help swallowing.

He was just about to ask about the details of the Wind and Sand Art, but he heard Ren Qing ask, "Do you know a fat Daoist in the Yellow Sand Dao gathering?"

Sand Mountain Child was stunned for a moment, then honestly replied, "This person is called Earth Green Child, and my relationship with him is relatively ordinary."

"What is his Qi refining cultivation level?"

"I don't know about that, but the last time I saw him, he hadn't even entered the door, and now he must be at most in the Small Circulation."

Sand Mountain Child scratched his head and smiled bitterly, then realized that Ren Qing's figure had disappeared.

He looked at the Wind and Sand Art in his hand, and then looked at the sand pile not far away, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Ren Qing continued on his way, his expression slightly speechless.

At least the Qi refining method was spread out by Sand Mountain Child, but as a result, he knew nothing when asked.

With Sand Mountain Child's experience, he would have been able to form a considerable force with the Qi refining method, so why stay in a broken house to deliver corpses.

He quickly walked out of the city gate, and the guards hiding in the shadows to cool off did not even bother to pay attention to Ren Qing in his Daoist robe.

Not far outside the city was the burial ground, with hundreds of dried corpses placed there.

Not all corpses are qualified to be buried here, they must be Daoist children who died because of becoming immortals, so they are generally not very old.

Ren Qing seemed to glance over casually, but his narrowed pupils turned quickly, and he looked at all the dried corpses in a few breaths.

He turned around with a calm expression and returned to Yellow Sand City, and couldn't help but let out a few chuckles.

The placement of the corpses in the burial ground conformed to specific rules, and it was obvious that one was missing, which was probably Chao Yangzi himself.

What a good trick of shedding the cicada's shell.

It was estimated that Sand Mountain Child's ability to obtain the Qi refining method was also intentional.

Ren Qing knew that the abnormality of the Yellow Sand Dao gathering was also because of Chao Yangzi, and it was unknown what the latter was planning.

Wait……

He recalled the information about the Wine God Method in his mind.

[Wine God Method]

[Created by the Wine and Meat Daoist, it requires using men, women, old and young as raw materials to cook thirty-six kinds of wine, which can be cultivated with drinking.]

Ren Qing realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

He defaulted that Chao Yangzi had not obtained the complete Wine God Method, otherwise he should have practiced it long ago, but he ignored the difficulty of mastering the Jailer Method.

Thirty-six kinds of wine…

How can wine be brewed in this ghostly place of Water Swamp, only the method of lung alienation can be used to collect wine.

Chao Yangzi built the Ascension Ladder in order to allow the government to receive more maggots, but found that the Daoist temple had great control over this.

So I can only start from the Yellow Sand Dao gathering in a roundabout way.

Ren Qing couldn't hide his excitement, the Wine God Method seemed to be close at hand.

But the more at this time, the more cautious you should be.

And he always felt that the Wine God Method was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

In such a closed environment as Yellow Sand City, how could foreign spells appear for no reason, there must be something hidden in it.

Ren Qing returned to the courtyard.

He then did not leave the gate, taking advantage of the gap between the Dao gatherings to read the Water Swamp Method, hoping to find clues from it.

The more Ren Qing looked, the more his brows furrowed.

To be honest, there are a hundred possibilities of dying suddenly from practicing this method, after all, the entry is to sacrifice oneself as the beginning.

The Gobi people are like Ouyang Feng, who practiced the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, and the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and made them succeed, which is a bit incredible.

The Swamp people's promotion to the Other Eater Realm requires swallowing five unformed pseudo-Swamp people to achieve the characteristics of the Five Qi Chaoyuan.

In theory, constantly teaching the people the immortal method can create a large number of Other Eater Realm Swamp people, and Yellow Sand City cannot be so stable.

The existence of the Pure Void Palace is very clever.

It can make the Swamp people ascend to the upper realm, so that the number will not accumulate more and more, leading to the situation that mortals are slaughtered.

If the Wine God Method also involves the Pure Void Official, it is a bit frightening to think about.

The Pus Old Daoist won't still be alive, will he…

Ren Qing forcibly calmed down.

After all, the Swamp people are in the Pure Void Palace, obviously parasitic on the Pus Old Daoist, obtaining nutrients through some means.

The Pus Old Daoist should have turned into a corpse, otherwise why raise a group of flies.

Ren Qing tends to think that the Swamp people in the Pure Void Palace do not want to drain the pond to catch the fish, so they created such a situation, but they have to be prepared.

He continued to sort out the Water Swamp Method.

Ren Qing checked the spell information stored in the abdominal prison.

It's a pity that I don't know what the content of the third realm of the Water Swamp Method is, otherwise I can try to improve it.

For him, as long as the modified spell is recognized by the information flow, he can check the defects after promotion and then make additions.

Ren Qing was considering the possibility of Liu Chuan being promoted to the Other Eater Realm.

But he quickly gave up this idea, whether the ghost shadow is useful against the Other Eater Realm Swamp people is still a question mark.

During Ren Qing's research on the Water Swamp Method, he had to go to the surrounding Daoist temples every two days to deal with the dried corpses of Daoist children, and he would also take the opportunity to pay attention to Liu Chuan.

He collected the information and told Song Zongwu through the ghost shadow of the Jailer Camp.

Although the Jailer Hall also had clues in this regard, they were far less detailed than Ren Qing's, and they immediately began to act.

Li Tiangang once again chose to use the Other Shore Flower to create Swamp people, preparing to test the spell, but this time even the body was pieced together from materials.

The Swamp person who finally transformed could not even speak complete words, and could not even survive under the sun for a long time.

Ascending to the Pure Void Palace is even more unthinkable.

Various spells were continuously cast on the Swamp people, and finally it was determined that poison gas was the simplest way to injure the enemy, but it must be atomized poison gas.

Song Zongwu immediately planned to take some of the Jailers back to Xiangxiang, and then transfer the Jailers who mastered poison-related spells to Water Swamp.

This back and forth, I'm afraid it will take half a year.

Ren Qing originally thought that Li Tiangang would continue to add backhands to the Swamp people, find a chance to send them into the Pure Void Palace again, and bury a dark chess piece.

Unexpectedly, he gave it to Li Yaoyang instead.

Because of his failed promotion, Li Yaoyang's physical collapse was becoming more and more obvious at this time, and even if he stabilized his realm, it would be difficult to survive.

After obtaining the Swamp people, he left the camp to retreat in the desert.

Ren Qing was not optimistic about Li Yaoyang, the Swamp people were far different from Gu insects, and it was a real luxury to use this to be promoted to the Yin Difference Realm.

He stopped paying attention to the situation in the camp.

When the Yellow Sand Dao gathering approached, Ren Qing set off towards the southwest corner of the city.

The time chosen for the Dao gathering was very clever.

It belonged to the sun was about to set, and the night had not yet arrived, so the participating Daoists had to stay all night and could not leave early.

Ren Qing quickly saw the so-called Sand River.

In fact, the Sand River has nothing to do with water, it is a perennial flowing hill, like the mountains and rivers recorded in the Daoist classics.

The surface of the sand dune river channel, which is more than ten meters wide, seems to be still, but it can easily devour the lives of the Gobi people, which makes this place relatively secluded.

Compared to the continuous rivers, the Sand River does have a different kind of magnificence.

Next to the Sand River is a spacious stone flat, and more than a dozen people have gathered behind the door, all of whom are officially appointed Daoists from Yellow Sand City.

The sour smell of alcohol floats in the wind.

Ren Qing had arrived in advance, but he didn't expect that there would be someone earlier.

When they saw Ren Qing's figure, they all greeted him enthusiastically, including the Earth Green Child, and their words were full of flattery.

Ren Qing perfunctorily responded a few times, and stood in the corner to look at everyone.

Sure enough, something is wrong if things are abnormal.

The Daoists present all had at least the Great Circulation Realm, no wonder they would exude such a strong smell of alcohol.

Ren Qing saw a big-bellied Daoist, whose lungs had turned into a glazed state, but new lungs had grown at the connection of the blood vessels.

There were also traces of transporting alcohol in the Daoist's internal organs.

Or the alcohol integrated into the lungs was purified.

It seems that Chao Yangzi is still trying to refine wine silently, and the Yellow Sand Dao gathering is just a group of deceived fake Daoists.

But if dozens of officially appointed Daoists are killed or injured, Chao Yangzi will definitely be noticed by the government.

It may even attract the attention of the Daoist temple.

Could the back road be the Ascension Ladder?

Sure enough, everything remains the same, the Gobi people have a crazy obsession with becoming immortals.

Maybe it's a place that can be used.

The next chapter will be later
