The Secret Way of Immortality

#349 - Snail Dojo, four seasons of prosperity and decline

After finishing his conversation with Li Tiangang, Ren Qing planned to find an inn to seclude himself for cultivation.

He glanced at the ruined courtyard and noticed that it was already being rebuilt, with all the bricks and tiles being magical artifacts.

It was clearly Little San'er's work, showing his dedication.

Ren Qing casually found an inn nearby to stay and then sat down to meditate.

If a Yang God realm spell accidentally leaked its aura, the surrounding streets would suffer, and the deaths of the Jail Guards would cause a chain reaction.

Just as he was immersed in his cultivation, a major event occurred in Wuwei City.

At the bulletin board of the Dream Market, there was a thick stack of tasks for refining magical artifacts, with rewards even more generous than going out on patrol.

Seeing that the Rabbit Toad cultivators were showing signs of descending, the Jail Guard Hall naturally didn't dare to be stingy, throwing resources out like they were worthless.

When Ren Qing opened his eyes, several days had passed. While continuing his seclusion, he also began to plan the matter of refining the town into a Ghost Embryo artifact.

The Ghost Embryo Artifact Refining Method was not a high-threshold technique. Now that he had the Artifact Spirit Method, it was not difficult to give the magical artifact a life of its own.

The main problem was that Wuwei City was pieced together from countless brick artifacts, while the Ghost Embryo artifact required it to form a whole and merge with the Ghost Embryo.

After pondering for a long time, Ren Qing finally gave Li Tiangang a suggestion.

He suggested that the Jail Guard Hall refine the city walls and the ground separately, and then merge them with the same Ghost Embryo, thereby forming a certain connection.

Before refining, they would need a material called Bone Growth Powder, which came from those who cultivated the Armored Body Technique and achieved Bone Growth.

The demon cultivators would apply the Bone Growth Powder to the gaps between each brick, and with the stimulation of fresh blood, the bricks could be fused together.

The insect molts in the ground were more troublesome, so they would have to see if they could be refined separately.

The Jail Guard Hall's execution was extremely swift and efficient. After determining the refining method, thousands of cultivators were traversing the town the next day.

Materials were piled up near the city walls, and the aura of spellcasting permeated the air.

Seeing that the artifact refining had entered the right track, Ren Qing turned his attention to the Eternal Shackles.

The ghost shadow under his feet wriggled.

A giant dragon worm head emerged from the ghost shadow. One could vaguely distinguish some human features on its face, but its intelligence was relatively dull.

Since the Heavenly Dao Worm reached the Nascent Soul stage, it could stay outside for a long time.

Ren Qing took the ghost shadow along with the Heavenly Dao Worm into the Eternal Shackles.

Then, the Heavenly Dao Worm took the initiative to break away from the ghost shadow. Seeming to sense something, it stiffly crawled towards the Immortal Market, making a loud noise.

Ren Qing cast a Dream Realm spell, causing the cultivators on the Immortal Market streets to stop in their tracks, as if immersed in deep sleep.

The Heavenly Dao Worm came to the well where Youyuan was stored in the Immortal Market and plunged into it without hesitation, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.

The Youyuan stored in the Immortal Market over the years was quite substantial, and now it was gradually being absorbed by the Heavenly Dao Worm, causing its cultivation to slowly increase.

Once the Heavenly Dao Worm had completely digested it, it was estimated that it could reach a cultivation level close to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but unfortunately, it was still far from the Soul Transformation realm.

A few days ago, Ren Qing would have had the patience to wait a few more years for the Heavenly Dao Worm to advance, but with the current situation in Jing Prefecture, he had to break through as soon as possible.

He dragged the White Bone Great Sage into the depths of the Eternal Shackles' underground, close to the location of the Flesh Furnace, allowing the high temperature to act on its body.

The ghost shadows surged towards the White Bone Great Sage, slowly stripping away the demonic aura from the body of the strange creature, while refining the magical artifact in the direction of containing Youyuan.

Even though the White Bone Great Sage was buried deep underground, the sound of shrill screams could still be heard.

Ren Qing watched for a moment and then ignored it.

Even he had to admit that the ghost shadows' artifact refining methods were indeed simple and crude.

Ren Qing only needed to tell the ghost shadows the requirements for the finished magical artifact, and the latter would use thousands of materials to refine it.

The White Bone Great Sage's body was a giant turtle covered in tentacles.

The ghost shadows started refining from the White Bone Great Sage's tentacles. If the refined effect was not ideal, they would forcibly cut off the tentacles and start over.

Although strange creatures were not considered living beings, and the White Bone Great Sage didn't even have intelligence, Ren Qing admitted that he couldn't do what the ghost shadows did.

He felt his scalp tingling just from watching for a moment.

Ren Qing stopped paying attention to the refining, then his gaze swept across the various Dream Markets, finally landing on the relatively deserted Demon Market.

He first noticed Han Li, who was meditating with his eyes closed. He had already begun cultivating the Blood Fungus Record, but was still in the exploratory stage.

In fact, Han Li's aptitude was not very good, but his pursuit of the Dao was very firm, and his cultivation plan could be described as one step at a time.

Ren Qing was optimistic that Han Li could reach the Yin Messenger realm, or even the Yang God realm.

Then he noticed the two demons, Hu and Wen.

The demonic aura in the two demons' bodies was gone, and there was no trace of the Black Mountain Goat on their appearance, indicating that they had regained their lives.

However, their bodies and souls were somewhat alienated and out of control.

Hu Wen cultivated the headless version of the Five Viscera Gods. After his head disappeared, his face grew on his chest and abdomen. Now, even his fox fur had faded, and each of his arms had an extra mouth.

Zhang Yi was covered in eyes, densely packed and creepy.

The Hundred Eyes were called the Hundred Eyes because the number of eyes could not exceed a hundred, otherwise the strange objects in the body would be difficult to suppress.

This tiger demon had more than a hundred eyes. Roughly estimated, it was close to two hundred.

Such a degree of alienation and loss of control would have driven ordinary cultivators crazy and locked them in the Stomach Within a Stomach, but they were still alive and well.

After confirming that there was no problem, Ren Qing released the two demons from the Eternal Shackles.

They had been in the Demon Market for several days, undergoing long-term training, and their consciousness had become blurred. It took a long time to gradually regain their senses.

"Demon Immortal..."

The two demons knelt on the ground immediately after seeing Ren Qing. The memories before their coma flooded into their minds. They didn't expect to be rescued by the Demon Immortal.

Ren Qing looked at them and said with a complex expression, "Your lives are safe, but there are still hidden dangers. Remember to reserve three-tenths of your strength when casting immortal spells, otherwise you will easily suffer from Qi Deviation."

"This disciple will remember."

The more he looked at the physique of the demons, the more outrageous he found it.

Demons' tolerance to the alienation caused by the loss of control of strange objects was unusually strong, indicating that they were naturally talented in taking shortcuts.

Ordinary cultivators who wanted to advance to the Ghost Envoy realm by swallowing strange objects, even with resources such as Strange Dust, had only a one in a hundred chance of success.

Perhaps one in fifty demons could successfully advance. With an Yin Messenger protecting them, the probability could be further increased.

However, such resistance to alienation in demons had its advantages and disadvantages. Once there were too many signs of alienation, it would be impossible to cultivate other spells.

"Help me collect information about the Demon Immortal Altar. If you encounter danger, return here."

Ren Qing was a little uneasy, so he went to the Great Dream Strange Path and took out the strange objects of the Hundred Eyes and Headless Ghost Envoy realms.

"In this descent of immortals, the demons will surely suffer a calamity sufficient to destroy them. Gather more comrades and overcome the difficulties together."

Hu and Wen couldn't help but wonder what the Demon Immortal's instructions meant.

After a few breaths, Ren Qing continued, "This seat will bestow you a chance to avoid death due to a lack of protection methods."

Hu only felt a twisted lump of flesh stuffed into his mouth, which gradually crawled towards his throat and soon reached his stomach.

The lump of flesh seemed to devour something in his body, and intense pain kept coming.

For safety's sake, Ren Qing poured some Strange Dust into them to prevent loss of control, until their realm reached the level of Ghost Envoy.

If the two demons were capable, it would not be impossible to help them advance to the Yin Messenger realm in the future. Even if they wanted to cultivate on their own, there was still the Netherworld Heavenly Worm Method.

They were wrapped in ghost shadows before they woke up and then sent outside Wuwei City.

Ren Qing didn't have high expectations for this idle move and planned to go nearby to find groups of demons when he had time.

After the courtyard was rebuilt, he changed places and secluded himself again.

In his own courtyard, he didn't have to worry about his aura accidentally injuring others. Ren Qing could finally deal with the eight hundred years of lifespan extension in the Yang God realm.

He planned to set aside five hundred years for emergencies. If the situation was urgent, he would simply use his lifespan to advance the Netherworld Art.

Three hundred years of lifespan could be used in many ways.

Ren Qing summoned the information stream and promoted the Dao Dao Dao to the Golden Core stage (Ghost Envoy realm) first.

【Do you want to advance the Conch Dojo, which will consume seventy years of lifespan】

The Dao Dao Dao was different from the Netherworld Art. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao Child had already reached the Soul Transformation realm when he created it, which made self-cultivation very troublesome.

It required nourishing the mustard seed space in the heart with true essence until the area expanded to ten miles before it could be promoted to "Conch Dojo."

After Ren Qing confirmed, the Eternal Shackles shook violently.

At first glance, except for the area expanding outwards by about one-fifth, the other aspects had not changed, but in fact, it was not so.

The most important thing was that Ren Qing had mastered the ability to influence the rules of the world within his stomach.

Although the Eternal Shackles were covered with a large amount of vegetation and had a rich ecological system, the vegetation growth was lower than expected.

Kindling could indeed stimulate the growth of vegetation and constantly produce more vegetation, but the nutrients in the soil were limited, resulting in many trees being only half a meter tall.

What was missing was the prosperity and decline of plants.

Only when the vegetation withered in autumn, re-nourished the earth, and settled through the winter, would more vegetation take root and sprout in the spring.

The Eternal Shackles seemed to be no different, but the four seasons were already distinct.

The Heavenly Dao Worm's new three heads became about the same size as the main head, and the four heads absorbed Youyuan at the same time, actually showing a whale-like swallowing trend.

【Do you want to advance the Jar Dojo, which will consume two hundred years of lifespan】

Ren Qing canceled the display of the information stream. After he finished breaking through the Dao Dao Dao, he hesitated slightly looking at the remaining lifespan.

Either advance the Yin Messenger realm of the Dao Dao Dao, or complete the mutation of the spell.

Currently, Ren Qing only had the Six Afflictions Art's "Dispersing Plague Lord", the Mirror Immortal's "Strange Mirror Symbiosis", and the Storyteller's "Storyteller", which had not yet completed the mutation.

He pondered to himself, for the sake of self-preservation, the Storyteller and the Mirror Immortal were undoubtedly the best choices...

Just then, the ghost shadows had actually refined the White Bone Great Sage into a magical artifact, much faster than Ren Qing had imagined.

The White Bone Great Sage's flesh tentacles had disappeared, and the turtle shell was no longer bone-white, but translucent and gelatinous.

Ren Qing showed a satisfied expression, it seemed that the ghost shadows' attainments in refining artifacts were about to surpass his own.

He took out the spores and sprinkled them in the turtle shell, then cast the Dragon's Roar in a Box on it, and closed his eyes to interfere with the pseudo-dragon transformation's modification of the magical artifact.

After a moment, Ren Qing had a crystal-clear piece of crystal in his hand, with the roots of the fungus tree inside, but they were also translucent.

With this magical artifact, he could harvest... no, collect the Youyuan of tens of thousands of people.
