The Calculus Disease Seed formed into a block-like solid within Tang Sheng's kidneys, and it presented a metallic luster, very close to Buddha Bone and Buddha Skin.
The reason Tang Sheng was in such pain was not because of the formation of the calculus, but because Ren Qing used the disease seed to forcibly gather the metal within his body.
The Dead Pestilence Immortal of the Yin Difference realm suppressed very well the possibility of the disease seed running wild.
Tang Sheng lay on the ground for a long time before recovering.
Ren Qing closed his eyes and browsed the several hundred Body Martial Arts contained within the Longevity Tree, then with the Great Merciful Maitreya White Bone Sutra and the Great Merciful Maitreya Skin-Sutra as the foundation, perfected the Body Martial Art of the Calculus Disease Seed.
The existence of Body Martial Arts is to guide the disease seed to better transform the body.
Ren Qing directly discarded the content of Body Martial Arts after the Ghost Envoy realm, merely allowing Body Martial Arts to serve the role of laying the foundation for the Restraint Officer Method.
The difficult points had already been overcome, so creating an entry-level method was not difficult.
After a moment, Ren Qing suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze blazing as he looked at Tang Sheng, the latter being so frightened that he hurriedly began chanting scriptures.
His finger pressed onto Tang Sheng's glabella, sending the content of the Body Martial Art into his mind.
"This method is the true scripture I impart to you, named...."
Created by Ren Qing, suitable for the Calculus Disease Seed, it can gradually transform skin and flesh into metal, and after great completion one can use it to enter Vajra Body.
Because it truly involved some Buddhist scripture content, after Tang Sheng examined it his expression became extremely devout, respectfully kneeling on the ground and knocking his head.
Within his heart there was already not the slightest doubt toward Ren Qing, what remained more was the joy of finding the true scripture, as well as the urgency to return to Heaven Above Heaven.
"Only after cultivating it to completion may you leave Wuwei City."
Before Tang Sheng could say anything, Ren Qing's consciousness instantly disappeared from inside the Great Dream Technique Tower.
He began perfecting all the Body Martial Arts already known, aligning the content toward similar Restraint Officer Methods, and very quickly a large number of entry-level methods formed.
Ren Qing looked toward the Longevity Forbidden Zone. Under the communication of consciousness, the Body Martial Arts within the Longevity Tree were gradually replaced with Restraint Officer entry methods.
He then informed Muyi, letting the populace switch cultivation to the new Body Martial Arts.
The two kinds of Body Martial Arts came from the same origin. Switching cultivation at most cost some time and would not damage cultivation at all, even able to indirectly increase strength.
However what made Ren Qing somewhat helpless was that the aptitude of the majority of the populace could not reach the threshold.
Simply speaking, they were not sick enough.
If the populace were all inside the intestines and stomach of the gigantic corpse Buddha it would be easier to deal with; the Malformation Disease Seed could easily modify the physique of mortals.
But they were far away in the Longevity Forbidden Zone.
Ren Qing pondered for a long time.
Suddenly inspiration flashed, his gaze sweeping over the tens of thousands of various materials inside the Great Dream Pavilion.
Part of these materials were collected from the outside world, and naturally there were also those produced by burning in the Flesh Furnace. Overall they were extremely strange and varied.
Ren Qing took out a finger-sized bone fragment, and immediately the Information Flow surged.
Bone-Growth Method condensed it. After consumption it accelerates the healing of fractured bones, but excessive consumption easily leads to bone hyperplasia.
His expression became subtle, then he threw materials with similar effects into the Flesh Furnace.
Although Ren Qing had never touched alchemy before, through the records of the Wuwei Daoist Temple he had some understanding and knew the control of heat in his heart.
Under the roasting of kindled fire, the materials gradually liquefied, then fused with each other.
Ren Qing patiently waited for a moment until the materials showed a tendency to solidify, then threw the Bone-Growth Disease Seed into the Flesh Furnace.
The materials themselves were related to bones, and the Bone-Growth Disease Seed naturally reproduced within them, quickly becoming a white bone-textured pill.
[Bone-Growth Pill]
[Condensed by the Food-Consuming Immortal Technique. It contains disease seeds. After consumption it will cause bone hyperplasia.]
After mortals take the Bone-Growth Pill, their physique will gradually become compatible with the Restraint Officer entry methods.
Ren Qing examined the pill. Flames formed by ordinary cultivators using spells could also refine it, only the difficulty would increase somewhat.
He simply spent several more days, organizing the refining methods of various pills into a book, and casually threw it into the Great Dream Technique Tower.
Disease seeds were also put on the shelves of the Great Dream Pavilion, but Ren Qing placed certain restrictions so that disease seeds could not be taken away from the range of the Dream Market.
After Ren Qing refined a batch of pills and handed them to Muyi, he no longer paid attention to the Dream Market.
He did not know that the alchemy technique he created had already triggered shock throughout the entire Restraint Officers' Hall.
At first it was only a reserve member who had just stepped onto the cultivation path. Discovering that the alchemy technique could be exchanged without Blood Crystals or Spirit Crystals, he casually read it.
The reserve member produced doubt at that time. Clearly the requirements of alchemy were not high, so why were there no cultivators selling it within the Great Dream Market.
He narrated the content of the alchemy technique to other cultivators. As a result one passed it to ten, ten passed it to a hundred.
After numerous cultivators heard of the alchemy technique, they hurriedly went to the Great Dream Technique Tower to check it, immediately sensing the opportunity within it.
The pills were clearly used for mortals establishing their foundation, while the Longevity Forbidden Zone had hundreds of thousands of population. The profit of selling pills could be imagined.
More importantly, alchemy techniques were definitely not only used for refining foundation-establishing pills.
One should know that Restraint Officers' Hall originally already had many cultivators who tried refining pills, but the success rate was too low, not as good as directly eating raw.
Now they discovered that all kinds of disease seeds were completely versatile medicinal catalysts for alchemy.
If one wanted to increase the cultivation speed of beast-transformation techniques, one would use the Malformation Disease Seed as the medicinal catalyst; if one wanted to increase fire-attribute technique cultivation, one would use the High-Fever Disease Seed as the medicinal catalyst...
Restraint Officers' Hall welcomed a craze of alchemy practiced by the entire population, and Ren Qing who created the alchemy technique had his prestige pushed to the peak.
Only when Ren Qing saw the lifespan surge by more than three hundred years did he discover the anomaly.
Even when the aberrant fetus artifact refining method first appeared, it was not as crazy as now; the massive materials stored in the Great Dream Pavilion flowed into the market.
Ren Qing sensed from it the opportunity to advance to No-Birth Immortal.
He published the pills needed by the Longevity Forbidden Zone as various alchemy tasks, which were quickly snapped up by numerous cultivators.
Ren Qing was not satisfied with the lifespan extension from the Dream Market, and then came beside the temporary camp.
The tens of thousands of monks within Buddha Within Buddha saw the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva arrive and immediately devoutly knelt to the ground, chanting his name.
Ren Qing did not speak nonsense and directly released disease seeds to transform the bodies of the monks.
The monks within Buddha Within Buddha were only the size of thumbs, their organs even like sesame seeds. Fortunately Ren Qing's Six Diseases Method had advanced to Yin Difference realm, otherwise it would have been impossible to be this meticulous.
The sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures abruptly stopped.
Immediately after, the screams of tens of thousands of monks came from within the city, making one's scalp numb.
No-Thought's face was pale. The pain throughout his body could not conceal despair; it was mourning greater than heart-death when faith was destroyed.
He looked at the monks around him bleeding from the seven orifices and could not help muttering.
"Why, Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva!"
Cultivators passing by saw Ren Qing's actions and could not help shivering, subconsciously quickening their steps to leave Buddha Within Buddha.
The screams continued for more than half an hour.
After Ren Qing withdrew the Malformation Disease Seeds, he merged new disease seeds into their bodies, causing the appearance of the tens of thousands of monks to change, especially those faces black yet tinged with red.
No-Thought looked around in confusion. After discovering that no one had died, he became even more at a loss.
"I shall impart to you the supreme Buddha Dharma, to cross the sea of suffering..."
Ren Qing transmitted the content of Body Martial Arts to the tens of thousands of monks simultaneously. The monks successively sat cross-legged and cultivated, and Buddha Within Buddha became incomparably silent.
The Body Martial Art he prepared was named "Great Merciful Maitreya Buddha Blood Scripture". The corresponding disease seed was "Sugar-Blood Disease Seed", which was diabetes from the previous life.
[Great Merciful Maitreya Buddha Blood Scripture]
[Created by Ren Qing, suitable for the Sugar-Blood Disease Seed. It can transform the body's fluids into sugar-blood to nourish artifacts. After great completion one may use it to enter the Planting Demons Scripture.]
Ren Qing did not seek for the monks to reach the level of cultivating the Planting Demons Scripture, but as long as they could master it, their body fluids could be used to nourish the Indestructible Golden Body.
In this way the monks' cultivation would become mutually beneficial with Buddha Qi, and openly harvesting them like leeks presumably would not be a problem.
Coincidentally the Great Merciful Maitreya Buddha Blood Scripture required absorbing sugar to assist cultivation.
Ren Qing planned to use the rules of the Dream Market to bestow cultivation resources upon the monks; this way he could imperceptibly obtain large quantities of lifespan.
After the monks of Buddha Within Buddha realized that Ren Qing merely transmitted the method, they immediately blamed themselves for the thoughts they had produced, their faith becoming even more devout.
Whether it was Restraint Officers' Hall or Buddha Within Buddha, both steadily provided lifespan.
Ren Qing logically should continue secluded cultivation to impact the Yang Spirit realm of dream techniques, or the higher No-Birth Immortal, but he faintly had a sense of inexplicable urgency.
Thus he went through the intestinal wall toward the spine of the gigantic corpse Buddha.
The entire spine was like a crouching dragon. Even the vertebrae were more than ten meters large. Although there was no space to contain cultivators, refining it certainly would not be easy.
Ren Qing released the pseudo-dragonized Hard-Bone Disease Seed to drill into the spine, planning first to let every bone joint and bone marrow be covered with disease seeds.
There was no need to hurry to refine it into an artifact. After all under normal circumstances injuries the gigantic corpse Buddha suffered would not reach the point of destroying the spine.
At the same time Li Yaoyang had already finished investigating the liver; inside there was nothing unusual.
Ren Qing also implanted the Fatty-Liver Disease Seed into the liver. If refining could be completed, he had confidence to allow the gigantic corpse Buddha to possess the ability to cast spells.
It looked as though the refinement of the gigantic corpse Buddha was extremely smooth.
Before long the internal organs and spine serving as the core of the gigantic Buddha corpse would all be controlled by Ren Qing; afterwards he would continue radiating toward the four limbs.
But the unease in Ren Qing's heart was verified at this moment.
The gigantic corpse Buddha had already crossed several regions. The environment it was currently in was becoming increasingly strange, very likely involving Dead Man's Forbidden Zone.
The soil of the ground had disappeared, replaced by a kind of purple-red coagulated blood mass.
Within the field of vision of the Insect Eyes, the coagulated blood mass had completely replaced the ground, as if arriving at a slaughterhouse filled with filth.
Ren Qing was somewhat unable to understand the situation.
The gigantic corpse Buddha had only been heading toward Dead Man's Forbidden Zone for a few months. It should not reach the destination this quickly.
Then that likely meant...
Dead Man's Forbidden Zone was not a simple Yang Spirit realm forbidden zone in the ordinary sense; the range of influence was extremely terrifying, at least spanning tens of thousands of li.
Moreover since the contemporary Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva was hidden within it, that indirectly proved the danger of the forbidden zone far exceeded imagination.
The means Ren Qing could rely on for self-protection, aside from related techniques, was only this somewhat water-heavy Earth Immortal corpse.
If not for the gigantic corpse Buddha, he might already have retreated.
Of course Ren Qing also had his own confidence. As long as he mastered Dead Man's Sutra through the Information Flow, he could reverse-utilize the rules of the forbidden zone.
Everything was unknown.
