The Secret Way of Immortality
#299 - Living with illness
Ren Qing was already cultivating the Netherworld Heavenly Insect Technique when dawn broke, so the main soul's consciousness returned to the main body.
He only meditated for half a day before feeling soreness in his hands and feet, so he took out a jar of peach wine and took a sip, but it still had no effect on prolonging his life.
Ren Qing continued to cultivate the Netherworld Heavenly Insect Technique.
A faint Nether Energy emanated from the jade pendant, but he did not directly absorb it. Instead, the ghost shadow enveloped it to prevent any leakage.
He hadn't found any particularly suitable materials to refine a Strange Womb Vessel to contain the Nether Energy, and the insect eggs were too precious to waste in the forbidden zone.
Therefore, the quality of the refined jade pendant was average, and it couldn't store much Nether Energy.
In order to save Nether Energy, Ren Qing didn't plan to use spells easily.
Mainly because the life of the split soul was worthless. Even the Nether Energy contained in the corpse after death could be reabsorbed through the jade pendant.
The Netherworld Heavenly Insect Technique was relatively traditional, using his own mind to control the Nether Energy as it circulated along the eight extraordinary meridians, eventually returning to the middle dantian.
A faint tingling sensation was faintly discernible.
Ren Qing didn't notice it at first, but after several cycles, he suddenly felt that some kind of change had occurred in his body.
He quickly checked his body, but didn't find anything wrong.
Ren Qing frowned, his gaze turned to the cancer types displayed in the information stream. It was likely due to the lurking cancer cells.
However, he didn't intend to stop, and the Nether Energy continued to grow.
Ren Qing stayed in the dilapidated temple for several days, and his body gradually became insect-like due to the insect root, his teeth becoming increasingly sharp.
The Qi Refining stage was only the beginning of cultivation, so it wouldn't take too much time.
According to common sense, the body in the Qi Refining stage would adapt to the Heavenly Dao Insect, and thus become stronger and stronger under the transformation of true essence.
But the moment Ren Qing opened his eyes, he first vomited a mouthful of black blood.
His feeling was completely the opposite, as if his body had been hollowed out, or as if he hadn't eaten for days and nights, his stomach felt a burst of hunger.
Ren Qing wolfed down the food, until his stomach was completely full, but the hunger still didn't weaken at all.
He poured the remaining peach wine into his mouth. Although it couldn't prolong his life, it could at least alleviate the symptoms.
After alleviating it a bit, he still didn't find anything unusual in his body.
However, he knew that the cancer cells had already spread, but because he hadn't advanced to the cancer disease type, he was in a latent period.
Ren Qing glanced at his lifespan and saw that the rate of consumption hadn't increased, so he didn't care.
He was currently still exploring the Longevity Forbidden Zone, and the split soul would inevitably die, so he had already prepared to follow one after another.
Ren Qing ended his cultivation state.
But just as he was about to stand up, rustling noises rang out in the dilapidated temple, not from rodents at all.
Ren Qing's muscles stiffened. Logically speaking, with the protection of the ghost shadow, no one should be able to approach silently.
The split soul had just arrived in the Longevity Forbidden Zone, and he didn't want to die inexplicably, which would waste a lot of time.
Ren Qing's double pupils on his forehead looked around. The dilapidated temple looked no different, weeds piled up in the corner, and the Three Immortals statue was covered with thick dust.
He did smell a strange smell of wine, likely attracted by the peach wine.
Ren Qing took a deep breath and slowly stood up. The hidrosis disease type made him a little dehydrated, so he took out the gourd and poured some clear water into his mouth.
Just as he picked up the gourd, he suddenly felt a gust of cold air pass over his nose, as if a face was close to his own.
Ren Qing directly pulled out the short knife from his waist and took a few steps back to avoid it.
"Why... don't you drink... wine..."
A gaunt man appeared at the entrance of the dilapidated temple, his appearance half-human and half-lion, his body covered in fur, with only his face exposed.
There were also tender seedlings growing on the man's forehead, the roots being the extraordinary meridians and blood vessels.
Ren Qing exerted force in his legs, the short knife he tentatively slashed out didn't touch any solid object, and directly passed through the man's body.
Then the handle of the knife was covered with frost, and bone-chilling coldness surged along his arm.
He subconsciously threw away the short knife, his head feeling a little dizzy.
The suppressed wind-cold became serious, but fortunately the Nether Energy maintained his body temperature, so he didn't develop a high fever.
Ren Qing's expression was a little solemn, but then he noticed that the man's face was red, breathing rapidly like a drowning fish.
He knew that this person should be from the medical center, and only those with hysteria could attack him.
The man covered his neck with both hands, and said with difficulty: "I shouldn't... have left, quickly... take me back..."
The ghost shadow touched the other party, and the information stream surged.
【Liu Qian】
【Lifespan: Seventy-two years】
【Disease Type: Wine-loving Tree Type, Malformation, Hysteria】
Among them, hysteria became blurred, causing Liu Qian's aura to become more and more unstable.
The corners of Ren Qing's mouth revealed a cold smile. This person was attracted by the peach wine because of his wine-loving disease type, and as a result, after leaving the range of the Longevity Immortal statue, the hysteria began to disappear.
He suspected that if the patient lost his hysteria, the disease might break out and lead to death.
Ren Qing couldn't help but look at Liu Qian, the animalization of his body began to be uncontrollable, and his appearance became more and more like a lion beast.
As long as it was alienation, it was uncontrollable. Although the patient's cultivation system was very special, in essence, this was a forbidden zone of strange objects.
Ren Qing had the ghost shadow carry the medicinal wine towards Unburied Town, preparing to use this to see what the medical center of Unburied Town really was.
Liu Qian chased after him on all fours, and no officers came to stop him, and he arrived at the dilapidated town without hindrance.
The officers were alarmed and gathered towards the town.
At this time, morning class was over, and the patients were reciting scriptures in their houses.
Liu Qian whimpered. Within the range of the Longevity Immortal statue, the alienation slowed down a lot, but it didn't stop at all.
The roar quickly brought the recitation to an abrupt end, and the patients walked out of the houses one after another.
"Immortal Venerable is above, it's a spirit beast..."
"It must be here to choose disciples to practice medical skills."
They stared at Liu Qian with reverence, obviously regarding the latter as a spirit beast under the Immortal Venerable, and even couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow.
They didn't realize the hidden danger at all.
A patient ran towards Liu Qian staggeringly like a madman.
After Liu Qian lost his mind, he didn't hesitate at all, opened his bloody mouth and swallowed the patient into his stomach, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere.
The patients not only didn't feel fear, but regarded it as an honor, cheering and surrounding Liu Qian, preparing to feed the beast with their bodies.
Liu Qian chewed on flesh and bones, and the last bit of reason was gone.
Bang bang bang...
He rampaged on the street, and the buildings were about to collapse, and the exploding rubble fell like rain, and dust filled the sky.
Ren Qing also came to Unburied Town during the chaos, but stayed in the corner to observe.
Liu Qian was completely indiscriminate, and directly bit off the heads of any patients who approached, leaving the ground covered with the limbs of corpses.
It wasn't until this time that the patients belatedly felt fear.
They shouted and ran away with their heads in their hands, but the more conspicuous they were, the easier it was to die, and they turned into broken corpses after a few steps.
Seeing this, Jin Chengxiang said with a gloomy face: "Don't care about anything else, all of you retreat out of the town."
The officers didn't hesitate and turned around to run, but there were always a few who fell behind.
Suddenly, all the patients and officers in Unburied Town were fixed in place, including the already crazy Liu Qian, and the scene became silent.
The tightly locked medical center door opened, and an old man in his seventies or eighties walked out with staggering steps.
The old man's appearance was extremely ordinary, but his forehead swelled up with a huge fleshy tumor like the Longevity Immortal, and his expression was with a loving smile.
Behind him were two men dressed as medical center apprentices, lowering their heads in fear.
Ren Qing squinted his eyes to look.
In the world of hysteria, a half-meter red tree grew out of the fleshy tumor on the old man's forehead, and blood vessels and meridians appeared on the branches.
After Liu Qian discovered the old man's appearance, he became extremely afraid, and a little clarity returned to his eyes, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
"Master, save me..."
Before he could finish speaking, his body swelled up.
Bang!!!
Liu Qian turned into minced meat all over the ground, and the scattered limbs were still twitching.
The old man opened his mouth and muttered to himself: "Why didn't you guard the courtyard wall, do you also want to practice the art of longevity?"
"Master, the disciple is guilty..."
"The disciple didn't know that Senior Brother suddenly rushed out, I was thinking..."
The two knelt on the ground, but after a few breaths, they followed in Liu Qian's footsteps, and the pieces of flesh and blood were about to fly ten meters away.
This bloody and terrifying scene didn't frighten the patients, their expressions were extremely fanatical, and they all knelt on the ground.
"Hehehehehe..."
The old man let out a creepy smile, and a flower bloomed on the sapling on his forehead.
The smell of medicine became more and more intense, and the eyes of the few remaining patients became dull, and then they stepped towards the medical center.
They quickly gathered in the open space, and Ren Qing was naturally among them.
The old man's eyes swept over everyone, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "There aren't many that can be used as fertilizer, I was thinking of raising them for a while..."
He raised his eyebrows and stared at Ren Qing, his expression showing joy: "At least five kinds of immortal bones are added to his body, it's a waste to use him as fertilizer, it just so happens that this old man is missing three disciples, hehehe."
The visitor flicked his hand, and the patients walked into the medical center one after another. Although the exterior was dilapidated, it was actually like a courtyard, and the area was still very large.
Unburied Town returned to normal, but there was no one left.
Jin Chengxiang and other officers had already fled outside the town, and he found that Unburied Town had become empty, and his face suddenly changed drastically.
"Go contact the government and bring eighty... no, at least a hundred people over, otherwise we will all die if we are blamed..."
"Jin Tou'er, what's the matter?"
"You want to die, do as I say."
Several officers who didn't know why quickly rode on their horses and ran along the mountain road to the distance, and disappeared in a short while.
Under the command of Jin Chengxiang, the officers repaired the houses in the town, trying to maintain the original appearance of Unburied Town as much as possible.
Black smoke would still rise from the town every morning, but because there were no patients, the concentration of black smoke became lighter and lighter.
Jin Chengxiang waited anxiously, the dry tobacco in his hand never stopped.
Because no one knew better than him what kind of existence the so-called medical immortal was, and Unburied Town was just their peach garden.
There were not a few who directly slaughtered the city if they were not satisfied.
Fortunately, after a few days, a large number of prison cars slowly came.
There is still one chapter, it will probably be later
