The Secret Way of Immortality

Li Mian sighed, "I always feel like there's something fishy about the epidemic outside the city."

Li Heng nodded with concern, "Bo Feng has been inquiring about news from the constables. Let's wait for him to come back and tell us."

Ren Qing didn't care much. He would deal with problems as they came. Anyway, the restricted area couldn't move, so it wouldn't affect Sanxiang City at all.

However, he planned to advance to the Divine Foot Scripture as soon as possible. After all, when the fire workers from Hexing Street returned, it would be crowded and not easy to break through.

As for the choice of the aberrant direction, apart from the obviously aberrant Elephant-Footed, the Wolf-Footed and Leopard-Footed had different advantages.

The Leopard-Footed's agility could increase speed, but at the same time, there was aberration of the face.

The Wolf-Footed's stamina probably wasn't the literal meaning. I'm afraid it had the ability to enhance Qi and blood, which could indirectly increase strength and speed.

On closer thought, for the Path of the Strange, the seemingly comprehensive and mediocre Wolf-Footed might have the lowest risk of aberration.

"Wolf Walker, with the advancement, it will probably become more and more suitable for one-on-one combat, right?"

As night approached, Ren Qing prepared dinner. Fortunately, there was an iron pot in the yard now, so he didn't have to go to the kitchen yard.

As the aroma of the food gradually spread, everyone began to prepare bowls and chopsticks.

Anyway, there were no corpses burning in the stove, so they simply placed the food on the stone table. With the slightly cool spring breeze, it was quite pleasant.

It wasn't until this time that Bo Feng hurried back.

Li Mian quickly asked, "Brother Bo, what's the situation with the fire workers from Hexing Street?"

"I probed the constables' tone. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the plague, but since they're temporarily staying at the Sibu Hermitage for observation, it should be fine."

Xiao Wu asked vaguely, "Are they injured?"

"The three of them are safe and sound, but they have been mentally stimulated."

Xiao Wu and the others were lost in thought for a few breaths, but quickly returned to normal.

Unconsciously, the number of fire workers discussed had become three, as if two people had never appeared.

"Wait..."

Ren Qing suddenly felt something was wrong. He remembered vaguely that there were more than three people, but on closer thought, it was indeed correct.

"We discussed it before, right? Li Mian, how many people did you say it was at that time?"

Li Mian answered with certainty, "It's three people. But I also heard it from somewhere else."

Ren Qing closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, his head slightly aching.

He used his finger to carve the character "叁 (three)" on the back of the stone table, and then forcibly suppressed the strangeness in his heart.

After eating dinner, the others cleaned up the dishes.

Ren Qing practiced his saber techniques for a while. Driven by a strange sense of crisis, he returned to his wing to prepare to advance to the Divine Foot Scripture.

Ren Qing closed all the doors and windows, and meditated on the Eyeless Method for two hours. When it was late at night, he summoned the information flow.

[Do you want to choose the Wolf-Footed branch, which will consume 1 year of lifespan]

He was already mentally prepared, and with the experience of the last advancement, one year of lifespan disappeared immediately.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

But the imagined severe pain did not appear. Instead, it was like the calm before the storm.

Ren Qing continued to wait for more than half an hour. Apart from digesting almost all of his dinner, there were no other abnormalities.

He subconsciously looked at the pig's eye on the bedside, and suddenly his emotions gradually became irritable.

Ren Qing's right hand uncontrollably grabbed the pig's eye and wanted to stuff it into his mouth, the bloody smell madly stimulating his taste buds.

He seemed to have become a lone wolf starving for days in the deep mountains and forests, with only the instinct to fill his stomach left in his mind.

The pig's eye was only a finger's distance away from being swallowed, but he forcibly endured it.

Ren Qing's remaining consciousness told himself that once he ate the pig's eye, his reason would likely be destroyed by his bestiality, and he would turn into a beast.

But because his arm was too forceful, the blood of the pig's eye dripped down.

His tongue subconsciously licked the bloodstains beside his mouth, and suddenly the defense line was breached, and he swallowed all the pig's eyes whole.

Ren Qing's hunger was still not satisfied. He walked step by step towards the door of the room, and just as he was about to rush out.

The double pupils turned, and reason revived.

The moment Ren Qing calmed his bestiality, the muscles of his feet swelled up violently, and silvery-white hair slowly grew out.

The toenails became more and more sharp...

It can be seen that the werewolf transformation only remained in the legs and would not spread to the whole body.

The characteristics of the werewolf disappeared, and the dim room returned to calm.

Ren Qing exhaled, fortunately there was no danger.

If he could have known in advance that such a situation would occur during the advancement of the Divine Foot Scripture, it would have been fine to tie him up with iron chains.

The main reason was that eating the pig's eye caused the trouble, which made him not too resistant to raw meat instinctively, which gave the bestiality an opportunity to take advantage of.

It can be seen that even if the cultivation reaches the Half-Corpse Realm, it does not mean that there is no risk in advancing low-level spells.

He summoned the information flow to confirm that the aberration had been successfully completed.

[Technique: Eyeless Method (Double Pupil Holder), Divine Foot Scripture (Wolf-Footed), Human Skin Book]

Ren Qing quickly checked his legs.

He found that apart from the muscle lines being smoother and the color of the leg hair being silvery-white, the changes brought by the Wolf-Footed were almost negligible.

Trying to use the Divine Foot Scripture, the leg muscles swelled, and then dense wolf hair grew out, but the werewolf transformation still remained in the lower body.

Ren Qing may have initially mastered the Wolf-Footed, so if he wants to completely transform into a half-human, half-beast, I am afraid it will take some time.

And the cultivation method of the Divine Foot Scripture has been mastered without a teacher.

Ren Qing walked out of the room and came to the open space in the courtyard and sat down cross-legged.

The clouds in the sky were thin, the moon was hanging, and the surroundings were dotted with stars.

Between Ren Qing's breaths, he only felt the gentle moonlight melt into his flesh and blood, and the warm current generated from his feet spread along the blood.

If you want to speed up your cultivation, you can drink wolf blood before practicing.

But Ren Qing did not intend to obtain wolf blood, because the risk and benefit were not proportional.

The cultivation resources of the Divine Foot Scripture must be controlled by the Blood Dog Gang. If he deliberately looks for it, he may be exposed because of it.

Ren Qing closed his eyes and communicated with the newly grown aberrant tree, and the direction of the Ghost Envoy Realm advancement of the Divine Foot Scripture came into view.

[Calamity-Bearing Swift Wolf: Harboring malicious intentions]

[Mountain-Like Giant Elephant: Monstrous Strength and Divine Chaos]

[Five-Tailed Vicious Leopard: Life is as Cheap as Grass]

The Divine Foot Scripture belongs to strengthening the body, which is the opposite of the Eyeless Method, and can make up for its own shortcomings.

Ren Qing couldn't help but jump onto the eaves to look around.

When he found that the patrolling constables were not nearby, he tested his current speed with a shuttle run.

As a result, without even turning his legs into werewolves, his speed had increased by more than 50%.

Because of this, he almost crashed into the wall, but fortunately he reacted in time.

He can't fully control it now and needs a long period of adaptation.

It's a pity that after the fire workers from Hexing Street finish their confinement at the Sibu Hermitage, they won't be able to be unscrupulous in the Fire Worker Hall.

Even eating pig's eyes has to be careful, otherwise how to explain the amount of several pounds to eat every day.

Ren Qing suddenly thought of something, his face became gloomy, how many survivors of the Hexing Street fire workers are there?

He bent down and looked at the back of the stone table, and found the character "叁 (three)" carved not long ago.

Is it three people?

He returned to the room with doubts and went to sleep, planning to go to the Sibu Hermitage tomorrow.

Thanks to Shu Ba for the reward
