Ren Qing had never had such an uneasy sleep. There were numb and itchy sensations all over his body, and the feeling of hunger kept coming to his heart.
Due to growth and development, babies usually need milk six or seven times a day.
His current situation is like this. His body is too depleted, and his illness requires him to obtain nutrients all the time. It is really unbearable.
Originally, Ren Qing hoped that after fusing the insect roots, his body would gradually turn into an insect body to solve the problem. After all, cultivating the Nether Celestial Insects faster would allow the Nether Elements to replace food and suppress hunger.
But he apparently forgot that it also takes time to transform into a bug body. During this process, the body will increase in size again for food.
But even if Ren Qing eats every moment, his digestion speed can't keep up.
He also thought about practicing the Taotie Technique, but the Immortality Forbidden Zone had unique rules, and the Jailer Technique would be stuck at the threshold where strange objects were born.
Fortunately, theoretically speaking, as long as Ren Qing survives the initial explosive period of development, he will not be so embarrassed when he enters the stable period.
He took a look at the longevity of sixteen days. In fact, longevity is also closely related to digestion.
When he drank peach wine before, he noticed an inconspicuous increase in longevity, which showed that the method of supplementing and extending life was still effective.
The reason why the Immortality Restricted Area didn't work the last few times was probably related to the illness, which caused the stomach to almost lose its function.
This body's disease is just the opposite, and can even help with absorption.
However, those life-extending materials, including the "corpse food" that extends life by two hundred days, all involve prison techniques and cannot be swallowed by mortals.
Even if he swallowed the corpse food, he would probably only extend his life by twenty or thirty days, which was far from what he expected, so he could only let it go for the time being.
It's better to wait until he comes into contact with the martial arts Wang Qi mentioned, maybe he can make up for the shortfall.
Ren Qing came to the desolate courtyard. The few meters of walking made him sweat profusely. The breeze blowing in front of him almost caused a cold.
The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and some earthy-yellow pungent powder can be seen sprinkled in the corners.
The powder is used to repel insects and rats. The plague in the Immortal Restricted Area is probably more terrifying than the outside world, and may even involve strange objects.
The location where he lived was relatively remote in Wei'an Town, and a faint rotten smell could clearly be smelled in the air around him.
As soon as Ren Qing showed his head, he noticed that there were eyes looking at him secretly.
Due to the inconvenience of his hands and feet, he could only move slowly while looking around with the double eyes transformed from dream seeds.
Ren Qing immediately discovered a hidden figure hiding in the shadows on the eaves not far away.
If it weren't for the dream seed's ability, it would be impossible to find it with the naked eye, which shows that this person must have practiced some unique technique.
The other party was probably sent by the town to keep an eye on him, for fear that an outsider like Ren Qing would cause unnecessary chaos.
I don’t know why Jin Chengxiang’s officers and soldiers specifically abolished their cultivation?
Ren Qing did not show any abnormality, and still maintained his taciturn image, looking for opportunities to get in touch with the things hidden behind the town.
However, the top priority is to make up for the shortfall as soon as possible.
It is definitely unrealistic for him to just rely on the ordinary food carried by the shadow, and the efficiency of the Nether Celestial Insect Technique before the insect body is completely transformed really makes Ren Qing feel helpless.
Ren Qing planned to try other methods first, and if that didn't work, he would use corpse food to extend his life.
He waved his arms in the courtyard and gradually adjusted his breathing.
In addition to reducing the vigilance of others, it can also quickly adapt to this seemingly weak body, but in fact, its potential is far beyond ordinary.
The strong man on the eaves showed disdain.
He was somewhat unwilling to accept that the clan elder sent him here to take care of a dying man who was suffering from illness, so the more he looked at the other person's stupid look, the more annoyed he became.
The strong man simply turned his head away and couldn't help but smoke his simple pipe. He would occasionally take a look and curse in his mouth.
What he smoked was not tobacco leaves, but actually a diseased strain of rice called "bitter rice".
There are usually several plants per acre of field, ground into powder and mixed with lime, and smoked to have a slight hallucinogenic effect.
Ren Qing felt relieved when he saw that the gaze on him became intermittent.
He began to practice an introductory method called "Tiger Lianquan" from Wuwei Taoism. After removing the harmful and unhelpful internal skills, the remaining external skills were just enough to strengthen the body.
【Tiger Lianquan】
[One of the introductory methods of Wuwei Taoism, created by Xiao Chenzi, takes tiger blood orally to nourish the body. After the cultivation, the body will be more in line with the egg of heaven, and this method can be used to introduce the six spiritual methods]
Ren Qing was out of breath after a few punches, but the feeling of fullness was indeed relieved.
His thoughts moved slightly.
The main body is still in retreat to fuse the branches of the strange changes. When it is over, it will definitely pay attention to the forbidden area of immortality. At that time, it can use the statue of Dao Ancestor to create a fictional spell to increase digestion.
At the same time, Ren Qing felt a little regretful that the invented technique could not take into account all aspects, otherwise it would have cured the blindness incidentally.
Although the injuries caused by cerebral hemorrhage can be recovered in the foundation building stage, and the double eyes transformed by the dream seeds are there, it does not affect itself.
But the perspective of double pupils is completely different from that of the naked eye, and Ren Qing really can't get used to it.
He performed half a set of Tiger Lian Fist, leaned against the wall and gasped, then secretly took out some easily digestible food and stuffed it into his mouth.
When the strong man looked again, Ren Qing got up again and continued to punch.
Seeing this, the strong man said to himself: "Mr. Wang, what's the use of picking up a freeloader? I'm afraid he will die in a few months."
"Why don't we just feed it then..."
He closed his mouth, showing that certain things cannot be said outside.
Ren Qing exercised like this for half a day, during which he ate at least five or six kilograms of food, and his originally pale face gained some color.
If you look carefully, you can see that the skeleton-like body has begun to grow flesh.
However, Ren Qing understands his situation. Unless he eats continuously for twelve hours, he will return to his original shape as soon as he sleeps.
Even if it is possible to eat, the food carried by the ghost is limited, and it can support the current consumption for about ten days at most.
Ren Qing continued to be immersed in the Tiger Lian Fist, and couldn't help but completely immersed himself in it. He had never practiced the Jailing Technique so carefully before.
Unconsciously, he imitated the tiger's movements.
One set after another of the Tiger Lian Fist.
At this moment, slight footsteps suddenly came from the alley outside the courtyard.
Children as young as five or six came in groups.
They were all orphans whose parents had died, and they walked deliberately silently. It was obvious that they came with a purpose.
Xu Tu is the leader of the children and is considered a minor trouble in Wei'an Town. He specializes in sneaky things.
They planned to rummage in the courtyard to find some food.
Under Xu Tu's instructions, the children built the ladder in tacit cooperation with each other.
The strong man frowned when he saw this and quickly put away his pipe.
These children are used to being lawless and will inevitably have conflicts with Wang Shanlu.
The strong man would not be so bold because he was afraid that they would kill him, but even walking on Wangshan Road was difficult and he could easily get scared and get sick.
If his life is in danger, he won't be able to explain himself.
Wangshan Road concerns Wang Qi, and he can die of illness, but he must not die in his own yard just a few days after arriving.
There was no way to explain it at all.
Sweat broke out on the strong man's forehead. Although Wang Qi did not practice "physical martial arts", the caver knew the plague well, and it would be far more terrifying than imagined if he went crazy.
He took a deep breath, and then the gill-like organ on his jaw spurted out gas.
The strong man jumped between the eaves as light as a swallow, intending to stop the children and see if Wang Shanlu was really stupid.
Ren Qing in the courtyard still kept the tiger's clenched fist movement, imitating the tiger's breathing while resting, with his body half-lying on the ground.
Xu Tu jumped into the house with a few children and did not see Ren Qing in the corner.
"Please be quick, Mr. Wang left Wei'an Town this morning to deal with disasters elsewhere, and Wang Ling is still doing odd jobs at the martial arts academy..."
Xu Tu opened the rusty gate of the courtyard, let the other children in, and then closed it again with extreme caution.
"Remember not to take too much."
They licked their lips and then tiptoed toward the kitchen.
But soon, Xu Tu and others noticed Ren Qing in the corner, and remembered the rumors about outsiders in the town these days.
The strong man jumped onto the courtyard wall, and the muscles in his right arm suddenly swelled.
Several holes the size of fingernails appeared on the surface of his skin, and air currents were brewing inside, which could be completely released as long as they were patted hard.
But the strong man found that the child was frozen in place and motionless.
He followed the child's line of sight and saw Ren Qing lying on the ground in a weird posture, his abdomen moving slightly while breathing, causing a weird accent to come out of his mouth.
The strong man felt like he was facing a powerful enemy, and his muscles all tensed up.
In his eyes, Ren Qing had no human form, and what was left behind was an old and sick tiger, but his aura was like substance.
Ren Qing seemed to be resting, and the low growl in his belly seemed to be warning others who intruded on the territory.
Xu Tu and others were so frightened that their legs became weak and they fell to the ground. They opened their mouths wide without making any sound, and their breathing became more and more rapid.
The door opens.
"Brother..."
Wang Ling broke the deadlock. She obviously came to deliver lunch to Ren Qing. After opening the door, she stood at the door at a loss.
Ren Qing also came to his senses and was surprised that there were so many people in the courtyard.
He had told Guiying in advance that he would try not to take action unless the other party had murderous intentions, so he did not disturb him.
The strong man narrowed his eyes, and then shouted angrily in a deep voice: "Xu Tu, you little brat, the ancestral hall distributes dry food every day, and you come here to do some dirty things, get out of here."
Xu Tu quickly ran out of the courtyard with the other children and disappeared in a flash.
Wang Ling greeted the strong man: "Uncle."
"I am sent by the clan elders to protect your brother..."
Xu Sanliang looked at Ren Qing and was shocked by the talent he showed.
If he guessed correctly, Ren Qing should be imitating the tiger's movements. Not only was he lifelike, but he also mastered the charm.
Xu Sanliang couldn't help but ask a few questions, but he certainly couldn't ask anything.
Ren Qing pretended to be dumbfounded and ate the dry food fed by Wang Ling, because his whole body was sore due to the Tiger Lian Fist.
Although most of the food in the stomach has been digested, the gain is really not worth the loss, so we still have to let the main body create fictitious spells.
What made him even more curious was the cultivation method Xu Sanliang showed.
