The Secret Way of Immortality

Due to the demonic energy, the mountains and forests of Jing Prefecture were treacherous, with almost no two identical demons, each one bizarre and grotesque.

A seemingly docile blue ox demon, the moment it approached its prey, would spit out an incredibly narrow tongue, directly impaling the prey to death.

It licked the flesh and blood of its prey with its barb-covered tongue, and the white bones left behind quickly attracted a large number of insects.

The blue ox demon was slightly dissatisfied, its eyes searching for prey in the surroundings.

Buzz...

As if it had discovered something, it quickly moved towards a pool of water not far away.

A foul-smelling corpse floated on the surface of the pool. Carnivorous demons were not interested in it, only a few swimming fish were tearing at the corpse.

The blue ox demon used its tongue to wrap around the corpse, gradually pulling it back to the shore.

But at this moment, cloud-like and mist-like white cloth enveloped its entire body, followed by a slender steel needle piercing into its internal organs from its rear.

The blue ox demon let out a shrill scream, and then turned into a corpse, its limbs unable to support its body, collapsing to the ground.

Before it died, it even broke a large tree, attracting carrion crows.

The shadows not far away slowly dissipated, and three cultivators revealed themselves, coming to the side of the ox demon's corpse, skillfully using magical tools to cut open the fur of its chest and abdomen, and reaching in to dig out its internal organs.

The blue ox demon's corpse was relatively intact, and Yu Dou couldn't help but say with satisfaction, "The most valuable part of the ox demon is its root, followed by its liver, gallbladder, and other organs. Zhang Dengkuan, don't miss anything."

Yu Dou was the fat prison guard that Ren Qing had seen outside the city, possessing the Gluttony Dharma's sub-stomach. Judging by his cultivation, he should have just reached the Ghost Envoy realm.

His abdomen opened into a strange mouth, taking the various materials of the blue ox demon into the stomach space, and the rest of the corpse was simply discarded.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators would transport the corpses of demons back to the city. If they were handled privately, it would easily lead to damage to the materials, affecting the quality of the goods sold in the dream market.

But for Yu Dou, there was no other way. After all, the deeper he went into Jing Prefecture, the more demons he encountered, and he inevitably had to abandon some corpses.

The stomach space did not mean that it could accommodate a large number of items, and besides, flesh and blood would decay inside, at most hoarding two or three demon corpses.

Yu Dou urged the two to quickly deal with the corpse, while closing his eyes slightly, using a technique to sense the presence of any demons around.

Zhang Dengkuan and the other did not dare to neglect, and after seeing that the valuable materials had been separated, they took out a palm-sized glass bottle from their arms.

The glass bottle contained a blood-red powder, like fresh bones ground into powder, crystal clear in the sunlight.

Yu Dou seemed to notice something, and reminded nervously, "A demon is coming, we have to leave immediately."

"Okay..."

Zhang Dengkuan and the other agreed, sprinkling the powder on the wounds of the corpse.

The moment the blood flowing from the corpse came into contact with the powder, the bloody smell permeating the air became more intense, even reaching a pungent level.

And the powder was called "Demon-Attracting Blood".

It actually came from an accidental discovery by a cultivator. He ground bloodstone, which increased the activity of magical tools, into powder and sprinkled it in the blood, which could make the corpse emit a strong bloody smell that demons could not resist.

They were not trying to set a trap to capture demons, mainly to take the opportunity to evacuate from here.

Suddenly, a corpse appeared in the wilderness, which was equivalent to pouring blood into the sea, enough to attract sharks from thousands of meters away.

Yu Dou's purpose was to attract the attention of nearby demons in advance, so that he could leave smoothly.

This trick had been tried and tested.

However, the stall owner who sold the demon-attracting blood had said that they must be careful of demons with intelligence, as the latter would not fall for this trick at all.

"Check your bodies for any blood stains, and then retreat towards Wuwei City."

Zhang Dengkuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Although the harvest was full, they had gone deep into Jing Prefecture, and the number of demons they had encountered recently had obviously increased, and their cultivation was even more terrifying.

Yu Dou sorted out his gear, then bent down and slowly retreated along the thorns.

Beast roars sounded one after another, and all kinds of demons rushed towards the corpse, and were willing to fight each other for it, making the movement louder and louder.

Yu Dou and the other two successfully withdrew from the area of the corpse, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

"This time, I'm afraid we can earn a lot of blood crystals. You are not prison guards, so you can find an acquaintance to help sell them, it's worth the trip..."

Yu Dou looked excited and couldn't help but lower his voice.

But as he spoke, the movement from the demon slaughter in the distance suddenly stopped, as if the fighting had inexplicably ended.

"Boss Yu, don't say anymore..."

Yu Dou noticed that the expressions of his two companions were a little wrong, and their shrunken pupils seemed to have seen a terrifying scene.

Yu Dou glanced in the direction of their gaze, and his whole body trembled.

There was a strange demon standing on a tree branch. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to detect it at all. Its flickering eyes made him shudder.

The appearance of the demon was like a skinned hyena, wearing a loose and ragged robe, its face was somewhat like a human and somewhat like a demon, and it was tilting its head to look at the three of them.

The hyena demon put its hands together, respectfully saying, "Benefactor..."

Yu Dou's hair stood on end when he heard the hyena beast speak, and the first thing he did was condense a technique to prepare for the enemy.

"Benefactor, let's make a good connection."

With the appearance of eyes nearby, they had to temporarily give up resistance.

It could be seen that hyenas, even when transformed into demons, were still social animals. At least two or three hundred ordinary hyenas were around at this time.

Yu Dou narrowed his eyes, it seemed that his life was going to end here.

"You two don't do anything, if you really want to do something, I'll cover you."

He didn't have too much fear, after all, he had been prepared when he risked coming to Jing Prefecture, and death was only a matter of time.

The hyena pack drilled out of the grass, each with shiny fur, but thinner than imagined, and you could almost see the ribs under the fur.

The hyena demon took out a string of white bone prayer beads from its arms, muttered a few times and said, "Several of you are destined with my Buddha, or come to the cave for a gathering."

Yu Dou felt that there was an opportunity.

If they went to the demon's lair, it would mean that they would not be eaten by the demons in a short time, and they might be able to escape.

He gave Zhang Dengkuan and the other a look.

Unfortunately, Zhang Dengkuan didn't notice Yu Dou at all.

He was so frightened that his whole body was stiff, and he uttered incomprehensible words, subconsciously condensing the aura of the technique in his palm.

"Zhang Dengkuan!!"

Yu Dou was shocked, and his other companion, Liu Han, also wanted to stop him, but it was obviously too late.

An eye cracked open in Zhang Dengkuan's palm, and a scorching flame gushed out from it, burning the nearest hyena into charcoal.

The barking became manic.

Dozens of hyenas swarmed up, directly biting Zhang Dengkuan's limbs, and the latter quickly became covered in blood, and his struggle became more and more weak.

Yu Dou was just about to rescue Zhang Dengkuan, but found that the hyenas did not kill him.

You must know that hyenas generally reached the Qi Refining stage of cultivation, and also occupied a numerical advantage, so why did it feel like they were holding back everywhere?

"Please come to the cave for a gathering..."

The hyena demon made a gesture of invitation, its expression becoming compassionate.

The hyenas led the three towards the mountain ridge in the southwest, and even the dead hyena corpse was deliberately brought along.

Yu Dou's hair stood on end, how could there be demons that didn't eat people...

Hyenas are beasts that eat the corpses of their own kind, even if they are more intelligent, they shouldn't forget their bloodthirsty nature, right?

They followed the hyena pack through the woods, and then passed by the blue ox demon corpse, leaving only bare white bones in place.

The surroundings were full of hyena footprints, and the other demons should have been driven away.

The hyena demon shook its head slightly, and said in a strange tone, "There is so much killing in the world, so there is a catastrophe of swords and soldiers, and the one who bears the fate kills your body..."

Yu Dou didn't know what scriptures the other party was chanting, but he must have distorted and understood the meaning.

After a while, the three came to the demon's lair, and the sense of incongruity in Yu Dou's heart became more and more intense, and his face couldn't help but turn livid.

The lairs of ordinary carnivorous beasts inevitably accumulated corpses, and would emit a pungent stench, but this place was completely different.

There was a pile of dry grass in the low cave, and patterns drawn with mud could be seen on the stone walls, like twisted characters intertwined with each other.

Yu Dou and the other two were driven to the corner, and the hyenas still did not intend to harm them.

Then.

"Awoo..."

The hyenas let out strange hisses, forcibly leaning against the stone wall.

Only the sound of bone collisions was heard, and they actually walked upright like humans, but even the basic movements were very reluctant.

The newest novel is first published at Six Ninety-Nine Book Bar!

At the suggestion of the hyena demon, the hyenas moved a rough iron pot from the depths of the lair, and also picked up dry branches as firewood.

Because the hyenas chose to walk on two feet, the scene became extremely absurd.

Yu Dou and the other two looked at each other, subconsciously moving their feet, preventing themselves from being thrown into the iron pot and stewed into a pool of rotten meat.

At the same time, they were even more shocked by the intelligence of the demons, which was by no means comparable to ordinary mortals.

The hyena demon smiled softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a gathering in the cave, and you will be sent away tomorrow."

The other hyenas also began to throw various items into the boiling iron pot, most of which were golden stone objects.

A thick white smoke spread out.

Yu Dou couldn't help but sneeze. The smell was like quicklime, and even some insects would be burned into dead corpses when they got close.

The hyena demon might have felt that the stewing efficiency was too slow, so it took the initiative to stir the wooden stick.

After a long time, the stone powder in the iron pot became extremely viscous, and the golden light it contained was even brighter, like worldly gold and silver.

The hyena demon ignored the scalding high temperature, reached into the pot and pinched up the stone powder, and after a few breaths, there were four golden pills the size of eyeballs.

It took a closer look at a golden pill, and then threw it into its mouth.

"Good pill, good pill."

"Several benefactors, won't you come and cultivate with me the bitter sea avenue where all beings are sick and suffering?"

The hyena demon's words were a bit threatening, and hundreds of red eyes stared at the three.

"I eat..."

Yu Dou walked forward, although he couldn't openly use the Gluttony Dharma, he was confident that even ironware couldn't scratch his stomach.

He simply swallowed all three golden pills into his stomach.

The golden pills instantly turned into juice and disappeared. Yu Dou wailed while clutching his stomach, and then fainted with a pale face.

The hyena demon bent down and approached Yu Dou, and then its ears twitched slightly.

It seemed that the humming of a wild boar was coming.

The hyena demon narrowed its eyes, and slowly cut open Yu Dou's stomach with its fingers, and a faint golden light suddenly radiated from it.

Zhang Dengkuan and the other two widened their eyes and rushed towards the hyena demon without hesitation.

But they were immediately entangled by hundreds of hyenas, and the latter were not afraid of life and death at all, and the two were soon defeated.

The hyena demon reached into Yu Dou's abdomen, wanting to take out the golden glowing internal organs, but suddenly noticed the wild boar rushing towards it.

A substantial aura pressed on its body, and its bones kept making crackling sounds.

The hyena demon quickly retracted its arm, with a golden gall bladder in its palm, and its expression couldn't help but reveal its fascination with this thing.

Yu Dou's breathing became more and more rapid, and a lot of sweat flowed from the pores of his body. The original fat body actually lost more than ten pounds.

Fortunately, even losing the gall bladder would not affect his life.

The hyena demon looked at the source of the movement not far away, and giant trees fell in response, and soon the other party came to the hyena's lair.

Little Drill Wind had unknowingly grown to more than four meters tall, with a thick layer of moss covering its back, looking like a short-nosed elephant.

Ren Qing sat cross-legged on its back, without the slightest bit of demonic energy emanating, but it gave the hyena demon an instinctive and extremely dangerous signal.

"Benefactor, do you know my Buddha..."

Before the hyena demon could finish speaking, Ren Qing had a golden gall bladder in his hand not far away.

It quickly checked the gall bladder in its arms, and the result was naturally missing, and the trace of compassion on its lips immediately disappeared.

The hyena demon's body swelled up, and its half-human and half-demon face directly turned into a beast's head, and it pounced on Ren Qing with all fours on the ground.

But just as it was about to fall in front of Ren Qing, the latter suddenly disappeared in place.

The hyena demon tried its best to shorten the distance, but it seemed to be close to Ren Qing, but far away from the horizon.

In the eyes of Zhang Dengkuan and the other two, the demon beast stayed in place, spinning around like a madman, but it killed a few hyenas.

They suspected that Ren Qing should be a Ghost Messenger realm prison guard.

Just looking at that docile hog demon, the technique was probably related to controlling demons.

Zhang Dengkuan gave a look, and the two grabbed Yu Dou's body and prepared to escape from here.

Yu Dou was then awakened by the pain, looked around blankly, and widened his eyes after noticing Ren Qing, "Lord of the Ghost Market?!"

"What?!"

Their voices were overwhelmed by the movement of the demons.

"Dare to offend my Buddha!!"

The hyena demon roared, and all the hyenas rushed towards Ren Qing from all directions.

Ren Qing didn't have the slightest interest in these beasts with thin demonic energy, so he directly threw his hand and used the Dragon's Roar in the Box to drain the demonic energy.

The hyena demon didn't have many traces of demonization, so it didn't die suddenly after losing its demonic energy.

They clamped their tails between their legs, shivering on the ground, constantly whimpering, and even incontinent.

The hyena demon looked at its original subordinates, with unbelievable fear in its eyes.

What kind of great power...

Ren Qing instantly came to the side of the hyena demon, and put his palm on its head.

The demonic energy turned into a dragon and poured into the hyena demon's body, and the latter's cultivation gradually climbed, and soon reached the late stage of the Ghost Messenger realm.

"Come on, tell me in detail where the Buddhist methods came from?"

Yu Dou and the other three stared blankly at the scene in front of them.

Ren Qing's body was full of monstrous demonic energy, and the hyena demon obediently lay on the side, and the hog demon closely followed to protect him.

What prison guard cultivator...

Ren Qing didn't pay attention to the others, frowning as he muttered to himself, "A demon immortal has descended?"

"Named White Bone Four-Armed Guanyin?"

Sorry, esteemed readers, only four thousand words today.

I don't know what I ate, but I've had diarrhea all day, which is allowing me to rest and sort out the plot. Sorry.
