The Secret Way of Immortality

The giant corpse Buddha encountered frequent issues as soon as it set foot on the Stinking Corpse Hill.

Countless living beings were hidden within the mountain of corpses, constantly spying on the giant corpse Buddha.

Fortunately, it was protected by the external bone armor provided by the Hard Bone disease.

Even though the bone armor only covered the lower body, it was almost impossible for living beings to climb to the abdomen through the corpse gas.

However, it also taught the Jail Warden Hall a lesson.

If the giant corpse Buddha were to collapse on the Stinking Corpse Hill, exposing the cultivators to the outside world, there would be a large number of casualties instantly.

They felt as if a sharp sword had been placed above their heads, realizing the hidden risks while acquiring resources.

Unknowingly, several days passed.

The temporary camp had become a bustling market, with busy figures visible everywhere.

After accepting a mission in Dream City, Han Li immediately rushed to the temporary camp and shouted at the top of his lungs.

“The mission is to nourish the liver, the reward is three measures of Maitreya oil, still lacking twenty-six people!”

After the giant corpse Buddha's organs completely merged with the Martial Realm Strange Fetus, a new round of nourishment could begin, laying the foundation for the Half-Corpse Realm.

This led to a shortage of manpower in the Jail Warden Hall again.

Soon after Han Li finished speaking, the cultivators noticed a palm-sized silver-white token hanging on his waist and responded one after another.

“I… have a basic understanding of forging.”

“I participated in the nourishment of the intestines a while ago.”

“I am incredibly strong and can carry heavy objects.”

………

Han Li looked around. The cultivators in the temporary camp knew each other well, and there was no possibility of faking, so he selected enough people.

Then he hurriedly left. Similar situations were constantly playing out in the temporary camp.

The mission acceptance model of the Jail Warden Hall had undergone earth-shattering changes, mainly due to the rectification ordered by Ren Qing.

This made it impossible for most cultivators to accept missions.

If it were peacetime, there would be no need to set specific conditions for missions. All cultivators could accept them, as there was no need to pursue efficiency.

But now it was different. Time was too precious.

Cultivators would inevitably accept missions beyond their capabilities. If they couldn't complete them and sought assistance, it would lead to extremely low efficiency.

When Ren Qing deliberately increased the conditions for accepting missions, only thirty or forty cultivators met the requirements, but the efficiency showed a surge.

Of course, everything has two sides.

Cultivators without a skill could not participate in missions at all, while those with skills could easily earn a lot of money from mission rewards.

Ren Qing's countermeasure was to open various books on forging and alchemy in the Great Dream Art Building, allowing cultivators to borrow them for free.

Even if their talent for forging was poor, as long as they understood the steps of nourishing magical artifacts, they could participate in some simple missions.

Of course, the rewards would be relatively small.

Seeing this, the Cishi people began to join the Jail Warden Hall one after another, but with their temperament, they inevitably clashed with other cultivators.

Regardless of their wishes, as the area controlled by the giant corpse Buddha increased and the number of Cishi people gained an advantage, they would definitely become a crucial part of the Jail Warden Hall.

As for the cocoon people without a foundation, their attitude was even more decisive. At the same time, it could be seen that Sen Sheng was a very clever person.

He knew that if he wanted to improve the status of the cocoon people in the Jail Warden Hall, they had to reach the Half-Corpse Realm or above, so he took advantage of their physique.

The cocoon people grew a layer of human skin every year, and they had a lifespan far exceeding ordinary people, so they were harder to kill the older they got.

Multiple layers of human skin gave the cocoon people an excellent talent for cultivating the Human Skin Book.

The transformation routes of the Human Skin Book were "Skin Refiner", "Skin Peeler", and "Herder".

Except for the Herder, who needed to graft animal skins onto their bodies, the other two were very suitable for the cocoon people, as if they were tailor-made.

The Skin Peeler cultivated through the pain of peeling off their own skin, while their skin would gain a recovery speed far exceeding normal.

Those cocoon people with dozens or hundreds of layers of skin could break through to the Half-Corpse Realm in a short time.

The Skin Refiner, on the other hand, used external force to hammer their skin for cultivation, fearing injury to their internal organs, so most of them would restrain their strength.

The cocoon people's thick skin allowed them to have no worries. Layers of skin were like wearing a large number of magic robes.

Ren Qing could foresee how difficult it would be to kill a cocoon person who was a Netherworld Realm Skin-Beneath-God after living for hundreds of years.

Of course, the cocoon people had weaknesses, and so did the Skin Refiners.

Such as internal organs, souls, Po Gate, facial features...

But weaknesses could be compensated for, so even the picky Li Tiangang was very optimistic about the potential of the cocoon people, and occasionally personally guided them.

The Jail Warden Hall had the patience to wait for the cocoon people to develop for decades, but Sen Sheng was eager for quick success.

After Sen Sheng consulted the spells in the Great Dream Art Building, he finally found a niche spell for the cocoon people to cultivate as a side skill, which showed his ambition.

【Years and Years Art】

【Created by a centenarian before death, cultivation requires a medicinal primer to stimulate wound healing, and can only be completed when the temples turn white.】

Years and Years Art was a spell that consumed lifespan to accelerate wound healing. As the realm increased, the consumption of lifespan would become even more terrifying.

If it were just like this, Years and Years Art would not be so unpopular.

Mainly because Years and Years Art would age the body while consuming lifespan.

The consumed lifespan was easy to replenish. The Jail Warden Hall had many methods to prolong life, but the aging of the body was a tricky problem even for the Yang God Realm.

To return to its peak state, it might require a lot of resources.

It was not worth the loss for cultivators. Only the cocoon people could use the drawbacks of Years and Years Art to continuously accumulate layers of skin.

Even if they were inevitably affected by aging, except for the older cocoon people, the rest cultivated the Years and Years Art.

It was estimated that it would not be long before the Jail Warden Hall would add a batch of Ghost Envoy Realm cultivators.

Under Ren Qing's drive, the Jail Warden Hall was like a machine with brand new parts, gradually releasing unimaginable energy.

In a sense, the Jail Warden Hall was the cells in the giant corpse Buddha's body.

In the process of the giant corpse Buddha becoming a distorted magical artifact, it produced more resources, and the Jail Warden Hall was the ultimate beneficiary.

Of course, there were also down-and-out people in the gastrointestinal area.

The Heavenly Dao Insect, Jade Splendor Daoist, became an outsider. He was rejected several times when he wanted to join the Jail Warden Hall. No cultivator dared to take him in when he wanted to sneak into the mission team.

He could only continue to transport the excrement of strange beasts in the intestines.

After staying for several days, Jade Splendor Realist couldn't help but miss the life in the Heaven Above Heaven. At least he didn't have to deal with filth every day.

In the insect nest, similar things were done by insect beasts bred from dead eggs.

He comforted himself in his heart that the current sacrifice was for the Earth Immortal Heavenly Dao Insect, and he would be able to attain enlightenment and become an immortal at that time.

Unfortunately, no matter what, he couldn't change the stench emitted by the excrement.

Jade Splendor Daoist couldn't help but sigh for a long time. Since he didn't have hands or feet, he directly put the excrement into the storage bag.

Although transportation became simple, the storage bag couldn't isolate the stench, causing the taste of the pills that helped with cultivation to become increasingly strange.

He sprinkled the excrement on the roots of the tree, poured some materials to help absorb nutrients, and then left the intestines in a sorry state.

Before Jade Splendor Daoist reached his residence, he suddenly found a person in front of him.

The other person's appearance seemed ordinary, but he exuded the ethereal aura unique to the Heavenly Dao Dharma, and his cultivation made him feel unfathomable.

Jade Splendor Daoist was stunned for a few breaths before he reacted.

“Earth Immortal of Fortune, this junior Jade Splendor is an elder of the Insect Nest Dao Sect. It is an honor to see the true form of the Earth Immortal for the first time.”

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at Jade Splendor Realist.

The Earth Immortal of Fortune generally refers to the folk land immortals in Xiangxiang, indicating that the Earth Immortal Heavenly Dao Insect also has a similar divine name to "Lunar Star Lord".

He had already understood this through Jade Splendor Daoist's memory.

The Insect Nest's faith was in the Earth Immortal of Fortune, the latter being equivalent to the Dao Ancestor of the Non-Action Daoist Temple, and there was probably more than one Earth Immortal Heavenly Dao Insect. Earth Immortal of Fortune was more like a general term.

Ren Qing took out a dead egg of the Heavenly Dao Insect from his arms and threw it to Jade Splendor Daoist.

“See if this egg can hatch?”

The refining method developed by Li Yaoyang could at most allow the dead egg of the Heavenly Dao Insect to be revived, but it was obviously far from hatching.

After Jade Splendor Daoist took it, his expression became extremely frightened.

Could it be that this person was not the Earth Immortal of Fortune, but accidentally obtained part of the dead eggs? Then what was the Youyuan in the stomach world...

He was in a state of confusion for a while, and almost couldn't help but suffer a qi deviation.

Ren Qing saw Jade Splendor Daoist's concerns. The shadow under his feet wriggled, and the gray-black head of the Ghost Shadow Heavenly Dao Insect appeared.

The pressure from the high realm of the Heavenly Dao Dharma almost made Jade Splendor Daoist kneel on the ground, and the distracting thoughts in his heart disappeared.

Ren Qing knew that the essence of the insect eggs of the Insect Nest and the Non-Action Daoist Temple were not much different. The difference was the different cultivation system.

Jade Splendor Daoist's face turned red, and he respectfully bowed and said: "Reporting to the Earth Immortal of Fortune."

“It is indeed a dead egg. In theory, it can only cultivate mindless insect beasts, but the Earth Immortal Insect egg contains vitality, so it can hatch.”

He unhesitatingly told Ren Qing the Insect Nest Dharma.

Ren Qing had once obtained Jade Splendor Daoist's memory through the stomach world, but there were some omissions, which he just happened to fill in the spells.

Moreover, it involved the next plan, so he had to be more cautious.

Ren Qing was responsible for perfecting and refining the skin and bones, and the Jail Warden Hall was responsible for the four internal organs of the heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, among which the most important was naturally the heart.

But since it involved the heart, it was necessary to determine the substitute for blood.

Ren Qing planned to take the opportunity to have the giant corpse Buddha cultivate the Netherworld Heavenly Insect Dharma and use liquefied Youyuan as blood to circulate throughout the body.

On the one hand, the Netherworld Heavenly Insect Dharma was restricted by Ren Qing's Netherworld Skill, and on the other hand, it could be prepared for refining a small world in the future.

Of course, to prevent the Buddha Qi from producing anomalies, the Netherworld Heavenly Insect Dharma was best modified and perfected in the direction of Buddhism.

Ren Qing wanted to use the molted skin of the Earth Immortal Heavenly Dao Insect as a material to refine the Youyuan Small World, to give the high-realm Daoist Temple disciples as a dojo.

But the molted skin was definitely not enough. Adding a hundred or so Heavenly Dao Insect eggs would be about the same, but at that time, a massive amount of Youyuan would still be needed.

Ren Qing felt that with the size of the giant corpse Buddha, if it cultivated the Netherworld Heavenly Insect Dharma, the Youyuan produced would be extremely exaggerated.

Filling the blood vessels would indeed require a lot of Youyuan, but it would be easy to recover the cost, and the surplus Youyuan would be used to refine the Youyuan Small World at that time.

Seeing that Ren Qing's expression was satisfied, Jade Splendor Realist quickly proposed to join the Jail Warden Hall.

Ren Qing agreed and attached the disease to Jade Splendor Realist to monitor the latter's actions at any time, lest he cause trouble.

He gave the Insect Nest Dharma to Li Yaoyang and then went to the heart area.

There is one more chapter, please wait.
