The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing looked at the bustling town with astonishment, only recovering after a long while.

The people had returned to their usual state, showing no signs of mutation, and no massive grotesque creatures passed by.

Only a bright moon remained in the sky.

Ren Qing's breathing became heavy. The scene from just now was still vivid in his mind, as if some being had pulled him from the surface of the sea into the deep ocean.

To be precise, each change in the blood moon marked a different Jingzhou, as if Jingzhou was divided into multiple layers.

If he continued to look at the blood moon, he would probably delve deeper and deeper...

Until he completely faced the blood moon.

Each layer of Jingzhou should be independent of each other, but with subtle connections.

The known blood moons are "waning crescent", "last quarter", and "waxing gibbous".

But Ren Qing knew that the moon was notoriously fickle, and there were definitely more than just these three forms. Jingzhou was deeper than he imagined.

He was currently in the "new moon" layer, where the blood moon was completely invisible.

But even the seemingly calm new moon layer did not represent absolute safety.

Because Ren Qing knew that the giant toad-rabbit would cause hundreds or thousands of people to suffer from "heat sickness" every so often, pulling them into deeper layers.

The giant toad-rabbit's frequency was not high at the moment, but Jingzhou was, after all, a fish on the chopping board.

What if it wanted to pull tens of thousands of people into the waning crescent layer?

Ren Qing even felt that similar situations had already occurred in Jingzhou, otherwise the number of people in the waning crescent layer would not have been four or five times greater.

It was just that after mortals were pulled into the waning crescent layer, another version of themselves would be re-bred in the new moon layer, replacing them in their lives.

Or preparing for the next round of heat sickness.

However, it seemed that actively going to the waning crescent layer, like Taoist Fufeng, would not leave any trouble behind.

Ren Qing felt a slight headache.

If he was forcibly pulled into the waning crescent layer by the giant toad-rabbit, causing part of his body and soul to be left in the new moon layer, it might cause his body and soul to be incomplete.

It might even affect his foundation.

Ren Qing could only take the initiative to go to the waning crescent layer to avoid accidents.

As long as he looked at the blood moon with his eyes, he could be pulled into the depths of Jingzhou, which was not troublesome for him, but he had to prepare in advance.

According to Ren Qing's guess, the reason why heat sickness could see the blood moon was mainly because the body's mutation had reached a certain level.

Mutation was also the key to the waning crescent layer.

Taoist Fufeng's Qingfeng Qi Refining Method was closely related to mutation. After the body merged with true essence, it would form uncontrollable mutation.

But he couldn't figure out why he could directly absorb true essence without the Heavenly Dao Insect, and where the true essence came from?

Ren Qing shook his head.

At least there were a large number of cultivators in the waning crescent layer. If he could use this to develop the ghost market, the efficiency of prolonging life would be greatly increased.

However, to be on the safe side, he planned to let Wu Yong and others explore the waning crescent layer first, to avoid unexpected dangers.

Ren Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. Jingzhou was really a hellish place.

Fortunately, the blood moon ruled Jingzhou using special rules, otherwise, how could an Infernal Official realm like him have any room to survive.

Ren Qing's gaze fell on Tian A, who was playing in the courtyard. The latter was somewhat like an autistic child, immersed in himself.

Ren Qing seemed to realize something, and asked in a gentle tone: "A'wa, can you see the blood-red moon?"

Tian A tilted his head in confusion, completely not understanding the meaning.

Ren Qing had no choice but to describe the blood moon with gestures.

Tian A nodded, saying some incomprehensible words, probably having only seen it once not long ago.

Ren Qing immediately realized that as Tian A's age increased, the mutation would gradually deepen, inevitably pulling him into the waning crescent layer.

Ren Qing touched Tian A's little head, then sat back in the recliner, preparing to make more plans while it was still relatively safe.

No matter what kind of danger he encountered, improving his strength was always the top priority.

Ren Qing simply handed over the job of feeding Tian A to the Ghost Shadow.

He focused his energy on visualizing the spells. If he could use the two Infernal Official realm dream spells properly, it could add a lot of help.

Ren Qing would also look through the grotesque variations of various spells in his spare time, hoping to find useful abilities from them.

As a result, he did find a significant gain in the grotesque variations of the Wine God Method.

The grotesque variations of the Wine God Method were strange and bizarre, most of which were like "poisonous wine" or "scorching wine", with slightly chicken-rib like uses.

Ren Qing summoned the information stream and glanced at his lifespan, finding that it had exceeded fifty years due to the effects of the ghost market and eating raw pig eyes.

He immediately made a decision, and then his consciousness came to the Niwan Palace.

The Wine God Method's mutation tree was quite peculiar, with leaves like wine jars and emitting an extremely rich wine aroma.

Ren Qing would rather postpone Wu Yinggui's promotion to the Infernal Official realm than promote the grotesque variation, which was naturally related to prolonging life.

【Peach Wine】: Brew wine with peach blossoms, drinking three taels can prolong life by half a day.

Compared to swallowing eyes, Peach Wine was, after all, a grotesque variation ability, which could be further enhanced as his cultivation broke through.

Of course, the most important thing was that Ren Qing could place Peach Wine in the Great Dream Pavilion for sale, to supplement the lifespan of many Jail Guards.

He couldn't just let the donkey pull the mill without letting the donkey eat grass.

Although the scale of the Jail Guard Hall was growing exponentially, and it wouldn't be long before the number of reservists could break a thousand, Ren Qing's pursuit of lifespan was also endless.

Since it involved prolonging life, he naturally didn't hesitate at all. Fifty years of lifespan passed in an instant, and the prison in his abdomen then underwent a drastic change.

Ren Qing's attention turned to the prison in his abdomen, which had changed greatly after a long time without seeing it.

The wine lake was already hundreds of meters in size and was still expanding.

The surface of the water shimmered in the sunlight, and you could even see the Kunpeng barely swimming in the lake, unable to stretch out at all.

The husky was lying by the wine lake, obviously looking drunk.

The ghost wolf was also beginning to adapt to the new environment.

Only the sandman deliberately stayed away from the wine lake, choosing to occupy a corner of the prison in his abdomen, forming a small sand dune.

Ren Qing didn't stop the sandman, because the more types of terrain in the prison in his abdomen, the more complete the world became.

But unfortunately, most of the vegetation had not survived, and the ground was only covered with a thin layer of moss, with only a few sparse plants growing occasionally.

There was a nameless sapling that barely survived, but the trunk was too slender, and the leaves also looked malnourished.

It could be seen that not all vegetation could adapt to the sun and moon's light in the prison in his abdomen.

Animals and insects were basically wiped out, but there were a few fish in the wine lake, but they might die soon.

The newest novels are first published on Liǔ.Jiǔ.Shū.Bā.!

But as time went on, the prison in his abdomen would eventually form a unique ecological environment, but it would take tens or hundreds of years.

Ren Qing planned to take a batch of animals and plants into it every few months to accelerate the speed of ecological formation in the prison in his abdomen.

Only when the ecology could be self-sufficient could he raise wild animals in large quantities.

Even he himself didn't know what the prison in his abdomen would eventually become.

Boom boom boom...

The earthquake interrupted Ren Qing's thoughts.

When the "Peach Wine" grotesque variation of the wine river in his body was completed, the surface of the wine lake began to boil, and the Kunpeng quickly escaped from it.

A ten-meter island slowly rose from the center of the lake, with continuously gushing springs in the middle, and a faint peach blossom fragrance permeated the air.

Ren Qing poured some peach wine with a gourd and took a few sips, and his lifespan did increase.

However, the current production of peach wine was still too small, and he could only hoard some and put it on the Great Dream Pavilion, otherwise even he wouldn't have enough to drink.

Ren Qing's mind moved. If he could refine a ghost fetus vessel to collect the wine and place it in the spring, he wouldn't have to pay attention to it deliberately.

However, it was best if the ghost fetus vessel not only prepared to store the wine but also had a brewing effect.

Ren Qing rummaged through the prison in his abdomen, and fortunately, all the materials had backups, so it was much easier to refine the vessel now.

He finally set his sights on a strangely shaped flesh and blood gourd.

This material was actually refined from the water gourd back then. Although the quality was not considered Infernal Official realm, it far exceeded Ghost Envoy realm.

It was just right for refining a ghost fetus vessel.

Ren Qing planned the secondary materials, and suddenly noticed Wu Yong and the others coming to the door.

Unknowingly, thirty days had passed.

Wu Yong brought two raggedly dressed Taoists to the front of the shop.

One of them was blind, with pus and blood constantly flowing from his eye sockets, and the other had a curved spine and looked extremely deformed.

They were all mutated due to practicing the Qingfeng Qi Refining Method. They obviously wouldn't live long, but the degree of mutation still couldn't reach the waning crescent layer.

Ren Qing flicked his hand, and the door opened by itself.

Wu Yong put down the crutch in his hand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the other two followed suit, their eyes burning.

Immortal, there really are immortals in the world...

After they entered the shop, they went straight to the courtyard.

Ren Qing was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, and even though Wu Yong and the three were right in front of him, he didn't intend to cancel his meditation at all.

Ma Mang barely raised his head to look at Ren Qing, only feeling that the other party was emitting a hazy halo, looking mysterious and incomparable.

He immediately turned his head away, not daring to have the slightest transgression in his heart.

Ren Qing made the three of them stand for a full half an hour before opening his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, some peach wine entered their mouths.

Wu Yong felt a cool sensation all over his body, and the fatigue was swept away.

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for the blessing, thank you, Immortal Master, for the blessing..."

They shouted loudly, and the slightest doubt that had arisen in their hearts also disappeared, leaving only the desire for transcendence and enlightenment.

"Didn't you say there were four people, where is the other one?"

Wu Yong looked sad and shook his head, saying: "Returning to Immortal Master, Cao Fang died of exhaustion of lifespan and did not survive until today."

They stayed in Qingyan Town to find out the secret of Taoist Fufeng's transcendence, but when they really touched it, they were already old and dying.

Ren Qing checked the few people with the information stream and found that they were all exhausted of lifespan.

"There is no turning back from transcendence. I can remove the defects from your bodies and let you live the rest of your lives in peace."

Wu Yong and the three looked at each other, and almost without much hesitation, they hurriedly said.

"We are willing to transcend and ascend to the upper realm to serve Immortal Master..."

"Please, Immortal Master, fulfill our wish..."

"Immortal Master!!!"

They couldn't wait to give their all for Ren Qing, but what they were thinking in their hearts was wealth and glory.

Ren Qing showed interest, and the ghost shadows under his feet directly surrounded the courtyard.

The terrifying Youyuan was ready to move.

"Transcendence is dangerous, who of you will come first?"

There is one more chapter, wait a moment
