The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing couldn't help but ponder secretly, perhaps it was really as he had expected, that the Beast Pen people had developed a unique civilization and were hiding somewhere.

But from all aspects, it seemed that the Beast Pen people were unlikely to be involved in cultivation.

In that case, the situation became a bit delicate.

A force that could form under the nose of the Supreme Heavenly Demon must have its merits, and might be able to increase the foundation of the Forbidden Corps.

But spending energy to find clues seemed unnecessary, and might startle the snake, leading to unnecessary trouble.

However, Ren Qing wanted to revive Song Zongwu, but was stuck on the completion of his soul.

After several years of attempts by the Forbidden Corps, Li Tiangang planned to use materials that nourished the soul, planning to use this to stimulate the growth of the main soul.

But after all, the Forbidden Corps did not have a branch that was good at souls, causing the progress to stagnate.

Ren Qing didn't have a good solution for Song Zongwu either. If the soul was easy to complete, then it could be completely divided infinitely to form a large number of identical souls.

Fortunately, Song Zongwu's Heavenly Soul was still stable, and there was no risk of his soul flying away and dissipating.

However, planting vegetation related to the soul was another trouble.

Just like the other shore flower, the growth of this type of vegetation requires absorbing remnant souls. Currently, the Forbidden Corps cannot obtain remnant souls from Ze Sha. Relying solely on the natural demise in the stomach world is definitely not enough.

Ren Qing couldn't help but feel a slight headache. After hesitating for a moment, he simply took out Song Zongwu's Body Soul and placed it in a corner of the cave.

He didn't know how long Song Zongwu could last, but with the time flow of the stomach world, it was definitely accelerating the demise of the remnant soul.

It was better to put it outside, so Ren Qing could pay attention to Song Zongwu's condition at any time.

As a result, something surprising happened to Ren Qing. After Song Zongwu's Heavenly Soul was in the Beast Pen, it unexpectedly grew stronger.

Even if there was no sign of completion, at least it could maintain the status quo.

Ren Qing searched for the source, but found that the soil and rocks were just ordinary materials, and the content revealed by the information flow was completely unremarkable.

Not to mention the air, which was all drawn from the stomach world and did not contain the aura of the Heavenly Demon.

He guessed that it was caused by the unique rules of the Beast Pen, most likely from the Supreme Heavenly Demon's Immortal Position, which mortals could not touch.

Ren Qing also tried to plant vegetation that nourished the soul, and noticed that even without light and nutrients, the growth rate was still very fast.

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, worthy of being an existence at the level of immortals and Buddhas.

Even if it was just the remaining power of the Supreme Heavenly Demon, it could create extremely precious resources, indicating that the existence of immortals and Buddhas could inadvertently change the environment.

The Heavenly Guile Realm was the same, but the range of influence was much smaller.

After the Drunken Meat Taoist died, the radiation from his corpse could still form a vast desert, and the sand also bred a massive amount of remnant souls.

In a sense, the essence of the Beast Pen was similar to a forbidden zone.

Ren Qing looked around and began to increase the area covered by the Disaster Elimination Technique.

After all, the Disaster Elimination Technique had already reached the Yang God Realm, and with the blessing of the four minor techniques, it could cover a dozen miles for a long time.

Ren Qing let the ghost shadows expand the cave, digging a tunnel like an ant nest, and adding a space for planting at the end.

During this period, he kept observing the hexagram on the surface of the tortoise shell.

Although it still showed "Auspicious with ominous", the number of cracks was very small, and from the depth, it could be seen that it was not a troublesome problem at all.

Maybe it was some hidden risk of the cave collapsing.

Seeing this, Ren Qing took it for granted and brought a batch of sheep demons from the stomach world, and also released Hu Wen, the leader of the demon veins.

Hu Wen, who had not been seen for a long time, still looked like a headless fox, and his cultivation was still stuck in the Ghost Envoy Realm and could not make any progress.

Hu Wen relied on the five internal organs gods promoted by devouring strange objects, and it was definitely impossible to go further.

He also did not switch to other techniques, and put his energy on rectifying the demon veins.

Ren Qing's expression was strange, the number of cracks in the tortoise shell was decreasing, and with sufficient manpower, the hexagram turned towards "Great Auspicious".

After Hu Wen found himself in an unfamiliar environment, he was immediately startled, and then noticed Ren Qing sitting cross-legged in front of him.

"Demon... Demon Immortal, is there anything you need me to do?"

The demons who followed Ren Qing out of Jingzhou back then usually called him Demon Immortal, and were the monks of the Forbidden Corps who supported Ren Qing the most.

"Help me plant some vegetation. You can return to Dream City during sleep. If you need any tools, just ask Zhou Zuosan."

Hu Wen nodded constantly, and then observed the situation of the cave, wanting to choose different ratios of fertilizer according to the soil material.

While speaking, Ren Qing observed the silent sheep demons in the corner.

He chose twenty sheep demons with cultivation in the Ghost Envoy Realm, but unfortunately their intelligence was still somewhat incomplete, and they did not seem to understand human language.

Fortunately, with the reproduction of the sheep demons, the intelligence of their descendants was gradually improving.

The Forbidden Corps Technique practiced by the sheep demons was Mu Yi's Jianmu Technique, and it could be clearly seen that they had more or less vegetation alienation on their bodies.

【Jianmu Technique】

【Created by Old Man Kuru, it requires swallowing water, seeds, and soil into the abdomen, and closing the five senses and the soul gate until the seeds germinate into seedlings before it can be practiced.】

The three alienation routes of the Jianmu Technique correspond to grass, wood, and vine.

The Jianmu Technique requires the monk's body to merge with one of grass, wood, and vine. After mastering it, they can use the technique to stimulate the growth of vegetation.

Among the branches of the Forbidden Corps, the sheep demons are very comprehensive cultivators, and they are almost contracted for all vegetation-related tasks.

Ren Qing told Hu Wen about the special nature of the Beast Pen, and repeatedly warned the latter not to be reckless, lest he touch any danger.

He gave Hu Wen a simple map, and even if he wanted to expand the cave, he had to be within the scope defined by the Disaster Elimination Technique.

Hu Wen repeatedly agreed, his eyes filled with enthusiasm.

Although the demon veins have been supplemented by tens of thousands of sheep demons, they are actually still weak in the Forbidden Corps, and there are usually no opportunities to perform.

Having finally been entrusted with an important task, Hu Wen naturally did not intend to let it go, and had already secretly thought about how to exert the advantages of the demons.

After Ren Qing talked with Hu Wen for a while, he no longer paid attention to the cultivation matters.

He continued to retreat, repeatedly running the Zhoushan of Corpse Fengdu, feeling the flow of Yin Qi between the meridians, preparing to break through to the Heavenly Guile Realm.

The crack on the surface of the tortoise shell should be healed soon.

There was not much time left for Ren Qing, he needed to prevent accidents from happening, after all, the Forbidden Corps had no experience to learn from.

After he retreated, the entrance of the cave was covered with vines by Hu Wen, lest any sheep demons accidentally enter and affect Ren Qing's cultivation.

The latest novel is first published on Liǔ9 Shū Bā!

Ren Qing's mind was completely empty, but he occasionally checked Hu Wen's situation.

The cave used for planting was already covered with various types of vegetation, most of which were related to nourishing the soul, and belonged to very precious resources.

Even if the Beast Pen helped the growth of this type of vegetation, it did not mean that it did not need management.

In order to ensure the suitability of the environment, Hu Wen specially wrapped the rock walls with curtain-like magic tools, using this to control the temperature inside the cave.

He also asked Xiao San'er to refine a magic tool that emitted light, which should be no problem for simple lighting.

The cave has also been excavated from the original dozens of square meters to two or three hundred square meters.

During this period, Ren Qing also received reports from Hu Wen that the vegetation was growing very well except for the lack of manpower.

He initially transferred five hundred sheep demons from the stomach world.

Later, Ren Qing realized that the hexagram was indeed stable in the auspicious sign, so he simply established the path leading to the stomach world in the planting area.

Hu Wen could summon sheep demons from it at any time to maintain the planting of vegetation.

Ren Qing had no idea how terrifying the blessing of sheep demons on cultivation was, and how eager Hu Wen was to show the value of the demon veins.

When he noticed that the crack on the surface of the tortoise shell was completely healed, he suddenly found that the scale of the cave was already very different.

Ren Qing belatedly stood up, pushed aside the vines at the entrance of the cave with his arms, and suddenly a scene of people flowing and moving came into view.

On both sides of the wide aisle, there were rows of luminous magic tools hanging.

One sheep demon after another walked through it in an orderly manner, transporting fertilizer and soil in trucks, and the ground had been paved with bluestone bricks.

Closest to Ren Qing was the cave for storing supplies, which had an area of nearly a thousand square meters, and was filled with various tools to help cultivation.

Next to the supply area was the cave where the sheep demons lived. The cave looked very simple, and hay was enough to meet the living needs of the sheep demons.

At the end of the aisle, Ren Qing saw three planting caves with thousands of square meters.

The caves were lush and completely covered with vegetation. The medicinal fragrance was even a bit pungent, making Ren Qing's nasal cavity faintly itchy.

There were nearly ten thousand sheep demons busy in the planting area, and new caves were being excavated one after another. Soon, the output of vegetation would increase several times.

Ren Qing didn't know what to say. Hu Wen did expand within the prescribed scope, but the progress was faster than expected.

Hu Wen went to the supply area with a gray face, and when he noticed Ren Qing, he quickly came over.

"Demon Immortal, you see..."

Ren Qing stared at Hu Wen's flattering smile, and squeezed out a few words of praise from his mouth.

Hu Wen was overjoyed. In order to ensure the completion of the task, he let the sheep demons rest for only two hours a day, and worked the rest of the time.

Fortunately, the sheep demons were not very intelligent. If it were other demons, they would definitely have opinions.

"Demon Immortal, the number of sheep demons is not enough to maintain cultivation. It would be best to allow other demons to go outside, otherwise..."

Ren Qing shook his head helplessly. The hexagram of the tortoise shell clearly showed "Great Auspicious", indicating that Hu Wen's actions were indeed correct.

It was the first time he had encountered Great Auspicious. Even when facing the opportunity to harvest the Yang God Realm, the hexagram was only at the level of "Auspicious with Ominous".

It can be seen that what can be transformed into resources in the Beast Pen is not only the blessing of the soul vegetation.

"Forget it, I will let all branches of the Forbidden Corps participate..."

Hu Wen's face stiffened, and he guessed in his heart whether something was wrong.

"Hu Wen, you did a good job. Your demon veins will continue to be responsible for cultivation."

"Thank you, Demon Immortal."

After Ren Qing finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the retreating cave, while contacting Li Tiangang, asking the latter to arrange for monks to go outside.

He himself intended to be promoted to the Heavenly Guile Realm.

Ren Qing was very curious, what is the path to becoming an immortal and gaining Tao?

Guests from all directions of Tianmen, go to the immortal class sooner or later.

I originally wanted to add more updates, but I have to work overtime this week. I will see if I have time next week.
