The Secret Way of Immortality

Song Rong didn't make a sound, but mouthed "Scripture of the Dead" several times, his eyes filled with extremely fervent desire.

After seeing that Ren Qing had remembered it, he laughed loudly and closed his eyes.

Song Rong had no regrets. He clearly sought immortality, yet he had a detachment towards death that far surpassed ordinary people, as if dying here had fulfilled his wishes.

Just as Ren Qing was about to ask about the Scripture of the Dead, he noticed footsteps gradually approaching.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see countless black beetles swarming over, their buzzing deafening.

The beetles gathered together and transformed into a human form, from which Li Yaoyang slowly walked out.

"Don't be quick to take lives, otherwise a new forbidden zone will form."

Mu Yi also wandered over from the bushes.

The two ignored Ren Qing and went straight for Song Rong, intending to control him first, so as not to affect the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Zone.

But Song Rong had already resolved to die. The moment the Jailer appeared, his vitality dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before he died, he looked at the approaching Jailer with a mocking expression, as if silently ridiculing them.

"Not good!"

Immediately afterwards, Song Rong's skin began to boil, turning into distorted human faces, causing the surrounding vegetation to wither rapidly.

Thump thump thump.

The sound of a heartbeat rang out, and Song Rong's heart also showed signs of coming back to life. This should be the grotesque transformation of another of his techniques.

Ren Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. Could this technique be like the Five Visceral Gods, acting on the internal organs?

Li Yaoyang's face was gloomy as he came to the side of Song Rong's corpse, bending down to check the situation.

"He died too decisively, didn't he?"

"If he transforms into a forbidden zone here, and the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Zone takes the opportunity to devour two kinds of grotesque objects, the area will become very exaggerated."

Mu Yi nodded and said, "This person's lifespan was exhausted, and he had long been determined to die."

At this moment, the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Zone seemed to sense the grotesque object, and the entire Hump Mountain shook more and more violently, accompanied by spreading cracks.

"What a waste."

Li Yaoyang took out a miniature jade bottle and poured a maggot the size of a fingernail into his palm.

The maggot was grayish-white, giving off the smell of quicklime, and as it crawled, it left behind powdery mucus.

Li Yaoyang stuffed the maggot into Song Rong's mouth, and the corpse twitched for no reason.

The corpse's flesh and blood gradually petrified, and after a moment it turned into a stone statue and stopped moving.

The two kinds of grotesque objects that were about to form seemed to have been paused, and the shaking of Hump Mountain also came to an abrupt end.

Ren Qing was slightly afraid. Fortunately, there were Jailers stationed at Hump Mountain, otherwise even if Song Rong hadn't succeeded, it would have caused no small amount of trouble.

Li Yaoyang nodded slightly towards Ren Qing.

However, he had obviously forgotten that he had met him before, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Fireworker? Why aren't you a Jailer?"

Mu Yi said lightly, "Ren Qing is exceptionally talented, and Old Song is naturally his guide."

"Hehehe..."

Li Yaoyang smiled and stopped talking. The meaning in Mu Yi's words was full of warning, obviously he was afraid that he would become interested in Ren Qing.

Ren Qing's gaze kept sizing up Song Rong's corpse, which had turned into a stone statue, pondering the technique called Scripture of the Dead that he had mentioned before his death.

"Since the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Zone has shown signs of disturbance, I'll go check the situation. Miss Mu, you stay here and wait for Old Song."

"I've already notified them using the Thousand Sound Technique. They are still dealing with the grotesque objects in the camp."

Li Yaoyang turned and left, as staying any longer would be a waste of time.

After Li Yaoyang had walked far away, Ren Qing asked curiously, "Is this corpse considered alive or dead now?"

"Dead. Li Yaoyang's gray worm can temporarily seal the grotesque object, but it will have to be reprocessed after returning to the yamen."

Ren Qing said with some interest, "Then there's no danger, right?"

After receiving Mu Yi's affirmative answer, Ren Qing approached the stone statue and gently touched the stone statue's skin with his palm.

He only felt a chill seeping out from the stone statue, which was then dispelled by the heat generated by the Pig Eye.

Ren Qing, considering that Mu Yi was nearby, withdrew his palm and waited for Song Zongwu to arrive, while digesting the information about the grotesque object in his mind.

【Human Skin Book】

【Created by the eunuch Huang Ling. To cultivate this technique, one must completely peel off their skin, take a specific medicinal primer to regrow it, and repeat this seven times to succeed.】

【Already mastered, cannot consume lifespan to master.】

Ren Qing was slightly disappointed. It seemed that he could only choose one path of transformation for his techniques.

However, there were thousands of strange and bizarre techniques in the world, and it was impossible to master them all even in a lifetime, so why be obsessed with the Human Skin Book?

The other was the technique that Song Rong used to control the beast horde.

【Seed Demon Scripture】

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

【Engraved on the Heavenly Demon Tablet, to cultivate this technique, one must transform their blood into demon seeds, requiring ten times the blood volume of an ordinary person to be consumed within twenty days to succeed.】

Ren Qing clicked his tongue. This meant that half of his blood would be lost every day.

Even if the hematopoietic function could keep up, continuous blood loss would lead to organ failure, even death.

And whether the demon seed has any side effects is another matter.

Ren Qing was not in a hurry to consume his lifespan.

Firstly, because passing through the half-corpse realm's grotesque object required consuming a full year of lifespan.

At the very least, he had to inquire about the direction of the Seed Demon Scripture's transformation from the Jailer. If it wasn't worth it, he might as well give up on it.

Moreover, Ren Qing learned through chatting with Mu Yi that grotesque objects would not be brought back to Sanxiang City in the short term.

After all, if something happened during that time, it would definitely affect thousands of people.

If Ren Qing wanted to plot the "Seed Demon Scripture", he had more than enough time.

He didn't need to risk being discovered by the Jailer.

He could use the excuse of accidentally eating a grotesque object during the jail incident, but now that the grotesque object had not completely been born, if Ren Qing mastered the Seed Demon Scripture for no reason, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain himself.

Ren Qing inquired about news about the north, and Mu Yi said that there were a large number of forbidden zones north of Sanxiang City, but she knew very little about the specifics.

After more than half an hour, Song Zongwu's figure finally appeared on Hump Mountain.

Mu Yi, seeing this,识趣 left.

Song Zongwu's expression was slightly complicated, staring at Song Rong's corpse for a long time, then he began to recite the Rebirth Mantra.

Ren Qing heard that although there was the meaning of transcending Song Rong, it was more for the hundreds of people who died because of Song Rong.

Ren Qing felt that the reason why Song Rong so decisively gave up his vitality was also because he didn't want to meet Song Zongwu.

The two didn't have too deep of a relationship, but after all, they were father and son, and the karmic connection in the dark could not be escaped.

After Song Zongwu finished transcending, the moment he opened his eyes, it was as if he had washed away the lead, and there was an extra mysterious and profound aura.

Ren Qing understood that Song Zongwu's state of mind had broken through.

And the Shura Dharma was related to Buddhism, so the state of mind should be closely related to cultivation.

Song Zongwu wrapped the stone statue in cloth, and then opened his mouth and said, "Let's leave first, the mess in the camp is waiting for you to clean up."

"Ah?"

Ren Qing thought that he still had to rely on him, so he had to agree.

The two quickly headed towards the camp.

The road was covered with a large number of animal corpses. If they were made into cured meat, they wouldn't have to worry for at least half a month.
