The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing restricted the opening of the Immortal Market to nighttime hours, mainly because entry required a dream state, to avoid disrupting daily life.

After the disciples of the Wuwei Taoist Temple departed, the vast Immortal Market was left with only Old Coffin, who was researching weapon refinement, and a few courtesans cleaning the shops.

As for Yuan Si, Ren Qing instructed him to find suitable young children in Morning Street, preparing to gradually spread the Netherworld Heavenly Worm Method.

The morning sun洒满大地 (poured over the earth).

When the light covered the shadows within the mountains and forests, Ren Qing's figure emerged from them.

“It's truly an exaggeration. Once the Wuwei Taoist Temple's power reaches the level it had hundreds of years ago, wouldn't it be able to use that to advance to the Yang God realm…”

Ren Qing's eyes were slightly red, his eyes a little dry from staring at his lifespan for an entire night, and his breathing couldn't help but become rapid.

Although the flow of spirit crystals in the Immortal Market was currently limited, everyone exchanged materials to some extent, so the frequency of transactions was actually quite high.

In addition, everyone in the Imprisoned Guard Hall was in a state of panic due to the Disaster Forbidden Zone, so none of the participating cultivators planned to keep any blood crystals.

The layout of the Disaster Forbidden Zone should still take a few months. During this time, he could obtain a large amount of lifespan, and he would soon be able to gather five hundred years.

Ren Qing glanced at the increasingly lively Wuwei Taoist Temple. It seemed that the changes brought about by the Immortal Market were subtly influencing things, even more so than he had imagined.

After Wu Liangzi regained his clarity of mind, he began to advocate expanding the area of the mountain gate, trying to add more residential rooms.

This was not secretly instructed by Ren Qing, but rather his own initiative.

It was a pity that although Wu Liangzi was the leader of the Wuwei Taoist Temple, he could not, in fact, command the disciples scattered throughout Jingzhou.

For the Wuwei Taoist Temple, the disciples outside were where the Taoist tradition lay.

Some managed businesses openly, were merchants traveling between forces, or were fishmongers hidden in the bustling city, or old men shouting about candied haws on the street.

The Wuwei Taoist Temple had developed to the point where it was now very much like the Beggar Clan in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, truly a great hidden force in the city.

But the disadvantage was that once the disciples left the mountain, they basically would not return to the sect.

Even if the Wuwei Taoist Temple was destroyed, they would only re-establish the Taoist tradition elsewhere.

Wu Liangzi had no right to summon the disciples, and could only use the memorial tablets to determine the lives of the disciples outside and guess the situation in Jingzhou.

Ren Qing felt that the Wuwei Taoist Temple's actions, in a sense, did have some merit, but it was also a last resort.

After all, once the power was broken up into scattered pieces, the channels for development were tightly restricted.

Ren Qing felt a little regret, otherwise the number of people pulled into the Immortal Market would have at least increased tenfold.

Fortunately, he had already set up the Soul Butterfly Projection, so at least the Taoist children recruited on the fifteenth of each month would no longer be missed.

He continued to meditate for a few days, and after confirming that the Shancha cultivator had no follow-up actions, he simply stayed in the mountains to cultivate in seclusion.

The Wuwei Taoist Temple seemed to have returned to its world-detached state, and every morning one could hear the Taoist children reciting the Urgent Chapters in an orderly manner.

Unknowingly, Ren Qing's mood also relaxed.

He had never experienced this kind of secluded sect life before, which showed that the Wuwei Taoist Temple was indeed more like an orthodox cultivation sect.

After two more rooms were added to the mountain top, his lifespan had exceeded five hundred years.

A fervent look appeared in Ren Qing's eyes. As long as he maintained the momentum of the Immortal Market's development, it seemed that prolonging his life was smoother than he had imagined.

“After the Shadowless Ghost advances to the Fusion Yin God, the Heavenly Dao Worm's Nascent Soul stage can also be put on the agenda. I wonder how much lifespan I can extend with it?”

He took a deep breath, and the You Yuan in his body was drawn away by the Ghost Shadow, and the location he was in returned from the Residual Moon Layer to the relatively safe New Moon Layer.

The information stream surged.

【Do you choose to advance to the Fusion Yin God, which will consume five hundred years of lifespan】

When Ren Qing secretly confirmed, the ghost shadow under his feet trembled frantically like boiling water.

The human skin all over his body began to squirm, bone spurs slowly protruded from his back, and the Heavenly Dao Worm even tried to drill out.

The strange creatures were already somewhat conscious. If the Ghost Shadow advanced to the Fusion Yin God, they would be completely reduced to appendages, so they thought of struggling to escape.

Ren Qing endured the pain and restrained his aura to within three inches of his body.

If a Warden were to see him at this time, they would probably think that Ren Qing had reached the point where the strange creature was out of control, but the truth was not so.

Ren Qing had complete confidence in his heart. Since it was consuming lifespan to advance, the risk had been minimized by the information stream, and the strange creature had no chance to resist at all.

The strange creatures trembled violently, and then returned to a state of calm.

The Shadowless Ghost advanced to the Fusion Yin God, and the mutated tree in the Niwan Palace suddenly underwent a mutation, with its roots spreading towards the secondary spells.

The Human Skin Book and other mutated trees did not resist, allowing the roots to entangle them.

Not only that, the Shadowless Ghost's mutated tree also conjured a huge maggot out of thin air, and used the same means to raise it in the bushes.

Everything looked normal, but the Shadowless Ghost immediately showed its special nature, gradually exerting influence on the secondary spells.

Ren Qing's expression became stunned, but he quickly reacted.

Unlike dream spells, the Shadowless Ghost, Human Skin Book, Netherworld Skill, and Armored Skill only had a weak connection with each other.

According to Ren Qing's prediction, even if a primary-secondary relationship was formed, it would be difficult to achieve the same level of mastery as the three dream spells.

But he had obviously underestimated the information stream.

The secondary spells gradually showed characteristics similar to Ghost Shadow, forcibly forming a whole between the spells, laying the foundation for the Yang God realm.

Of course, the information stream was not forcibly fusing the spells, but rather making the spells closer, and not all spells could produce similar effects.

The first to undergo transformation was the Heavenly Dao Worm in Ghost Shadow's body.

After reaching the Golden Core stage, the Heavenly Dao Worm turned into an insect egg, and its body was unable to move inside its hard shell, so it had no power to resist.

The amber-colored insect egg gradually deepened, eventually turning completely dark gray.

The Heavenly Dao Worm inside was in a semi-solid and semi-illusory state, completely detached from its original level of life, and was closer to Ghost Shadow.

As a result, even the You Yuan was tainted with a hint of Ghost Shadow's flavor, making it appear extremely evil.

The pain that Ren Qing had just subsided broke out again, but this time it far exceeded expectations, causing him to grit his teeth.

“Damn it…”

The bones represented by the Netherworld Skill, the skin represented by the Human Skin Book, and the dragon-snake spine represented by the Armored Skill all showed a trend of Ghost Shadow transformation.

Ren Qing couldn't help but roar, and the birds in the mountains took flight, and the beasts fled from the nearby mountains.

If he hadn't been in the New Moon Layer, the entire Qingyan Town would have been alarmed.

But even so, the farmers who were picking firewood in the mountains could vaguely hear the roar, only thinking that man-eating demons were appearing.

The torment Ren Qing suffered was longer than any previous promotion.

Even the Yellow Spring Immortal Bone was transforming into a physique that was more compatible with the Imprisoned Guard Law.

And he would never have thought that even if he came to the New Moon Layer, he would still inevitably cause inexplicable changes in the Residual Moon Layer.

At this time, in the Wuwei Taoist Temple, the Taoist children had just finished their morning reading.

After Tian Fuzi left, they immediately returned to their childish nature, playing and making noise, and the noise became louder and louder.

Han Li sat in the corner blankly, surrounded by a dozen Taoist children who were equally out of place.

They were born in the closed Morning Street Hibiscus Tower, and the number of people they had come into contact with since childhood could be counted on one's fingers, and some of them even had difficulty speaking.

Although the Taoist children were basically children of farmers and had no bad intentions, Han Li and others still could not integrate into them.

Wu Liangzi came outside the classroom, looking inside with concern.

He couldn't help but care about Han Li and others, and was afraid of neglecting them because of his own reasons.

After all, this group of Taoist children was brought by the Earth Immortal. Even if their physique was relatively ordinary and their cultivation progress was not as good as ordinary Taoist children, there must be secrets that he could not see.

Wu Liangzi hesitated for a moment, then decided to walk into the classroom to communicate with them.

As a result, he had just taken a few steps when he heard the screams of the other children.

Wu Liangzi's pupils shrank, and he saw more than a dozen Taoist children in the corner trembling, with black blood constantly seeping from their five senses.

How could he not know that this was a sign of body and soul alienation out of control.

But it shouldn't be. These Taoist children have not even reached the Qi training stage. How could they be alienated and out of control? It simply subverted his understanding.

Wu Liangzi quickly ordered the Taoist children to evacuate the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, and then strode into the classroom.

When he approached within ten meters, the surrounding light became dim, and black lines appeared on each Taoist child's face.

Han Li was the most obvious.

Black lines roamed all over his body and turned into worm-like and snake-like shapes.

Most of the classroom was shrouded in black mist.

Wu Liangzi gasped, and the chrysanthemum mouth on his forehead spewed out mist, directly sealing the gaps in the doors and windows tightly.

When he saw this scene, his first reaction was the Heavenly Dao Worm, which had disappeared in the rumors, but he immediately denied it in his heart.

Wu Liangzi knew that the Heavenly Dao Worm was definitely not composed of black lines. According to the records in the classics, it was a congenital spiritual treasure that could communicate with the Heavenly Dao.

Then what exactly is it…

His mind moved slightly, and his expression became enlightened.

Could this be a substitute found by the Earth Immortal after the disappearance of the Heavenly Dao Worm, used to continue the path to immortality that had already been decided?

The more Wu Liangzi thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

He tried his best to restrain the aura emitted by the Taoist children, so as not to be noticed by the inner ghost in the Wuwei Taoist Temple, thereby exposing it to the outside world.

Suddenly, the shadows in the corner surged.

A man walked out from it, his appearance covered in darkness that could devour the light of the world, only revealing the double pupils in his eyes and the three eyes on his forehead.

“Wu Liangzi…”

Wu Liangzi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said respectfully: “Earth Immortal Huang Qi.”

With a wave of Ren Qing's hand, the black worms roaming under the skin of the Taoist children calmed down and finally merged into the shadows under their feet.

“The Great Dream Secret Collection has a Netherworld Heavenly Worm Method, and the medicinal guide for cultivation is in the Great Dream Pavilion.”

“Within a year, the Taoist children will continue to transfer to the Netherworld Heavenly Worm Method, and you will wait five years to transfer.”

“This is the Heavenly Dao Law, do you know?”

Ren Qing had already thought of his words, and planned to plant the idea with dream magic.

“This junior knows.”

But Wu Liangzi did not have the slightest doubt: “Here, I welcome the descent of the Netherworld Earth Immortal, Tao gives birth to Tao, Wuwei Tao.”

“Focus on stability, don't attract attention.”

After Ren Qing finished speaking, he disappeared.

The sound of children playing outside the classroom came, as if the memory of the moment was erased out of thin air.

I was too busy during the day to code, the next chapter will be a little later.

Really crying, there are really too many things.
