It was just a pity that the Eerie Fetus Refining Method required not a short amount of time to develop.
Judging from the current scale of the Restraint Officers' Hall, it was almost impossible to refine an Eerie Fetus artifact of the Yin Runner Realm, let alone the Yang God Realm.
Even refining an Eerie Fetus artifact of the Ghost Envoy Realm required finding a way to overcome the problem of consciousness.
But no matter what, the Eerie Fetus artifact could at least add some foundation to the Restraint Officers' Hall.
Ren Qing continued to refine the details and recorded the content down.
By the time he had bound the Eerie Fetus Refining Method into a volume, unawares more than two months had already passed, and his lifespan had also become sufficiently strange and changeable.
Ren Qing examined the mutated tree in his mind, and very quickly made a decision.
[Butterfly Molting] : the Soul Butterfly would no longer dissipate, but once every seven days it must pupate into a butterfly.
After Ren Qing was promoted to "Three Inches of the Human World," he would be able to use the Soul Butterfly to transform into a ghost market, but inevitably would have to stay near the ghost market.
Even the Great Dream True Person had to reach the Yang God Realm before he could be free of it.
The function of Butterfly Molting was to maintain the ghost market: even if Ren Qing was ten thousand miles away, the ghost market would only need to close for one day every seven days.
For him, naturally the Butterfly Dream Technique leaned toward functionality, centered on the ghost market, thereby collecting lifespan.
After Ren Qing ended seclusion, he checked the progress of the ghost shadows and discovered that the various parts of the new sand ship had already been refined, only the final joining remained.
Although the dragon bone was refined in segments, it actually did not have much effect.
Ren Qing took out Ze Sand and sprinkled it on the dragon bone, the screams produced by the residual souls were extremely ear-piercing, like butter touching a hot knife, sizzling.
He pushed his Double Pupils to the extreme, barely ensuring that the Ksitigarbha ribs were not damaged, specks of spiritual light bursting forth from the dragon bone.
Ren Qing exhaled a long breath.
Although the consciousness within the dragon bone appeared relatively weak, and could not be compared to the ghost ship, at the very least it could now bear an Eerie Fetus.
This counted as a sample sand ship, to be handed over to the Restraint Officers' Hall after returning to camp.
Ren Qing stretched lazily, came to the deck and gazed into the distance. This time of seclusion had already exhausted all the stockpiled resources.
Even eyeballs had been eaten seven or eight parts out of ten.
But since he was the lord of the ghost market, and had control over the resources of the Restraint Officers' Hall, even if he could not openly move them into the Prison Within the Abdomen, skimming a little wool off the top was not excessive, right.
He did not know whether the Great Dream Pavilion had a Supernatural Remnant of the Taotie Method's Secondary Stomach.
At present, the consciousness of the ghost ship should be sufficient to bear an Eerie Fetus of the Half-Corpse Realm, and if taking some risks, even a Ghost Envoy Realm one could be attempted.
Ren Qing piloted the ghost ship toward the destination, the camp was already not far.
As soon as he drew within a thousand li, he saw quite a number of Nether Crows flying in the desert sky.
Clearly Sun had already begun probing the situation of Qingxu Palace, but for now only on the periphery of Meat and Wine Taoist's corpse.
A Nether Crow, seeing the ghost ship, quickly landed on Ren Qing's shoulder.
"Boy Ren, finished with your seclusion?"
The Nether Crow emitted Sun's hoarse voice, its blood-red double eyes constantly sizing Ren Qing up, but it could not sense anything unusual.
"More or less."
Ren Qing explained vaguely, while letting the ghost ship's speed become faster.
The ghost ship was like a Ferocious Beast breaking free of its cage, bursting forth with a suffocating aura, the sharp prow seeming as if to smash through dunes one after another.
The Nether Crow tilted its head, feeling the violent wind brush its face, could not help sighing: "This ship is actually pieced together from a large number of artifacts, how interesting."
"To refine it in just a few months, only you, Ren Qing, could accomplish that."
"There are even more interesting things."
Ren Qing chuckled, took from his bosom a bone sword hilt, pointed his finger forward, the bone sword instantly turning into a cold light darting through the air.
"When did you master this technique again, eh... afraid it's bone-growing..."
"Wait, what are you, !!"
The Nether Crow let out an ear-piercing cry, unable to control the fluctuations of its aura, instantly exploding into a pool of flesh paste.
Ren Qing was caught off guard, his face covered in it, and could only helplessly wipe away the blood and flesh.
He had just intended to use the strange mouth to clean the filth, when he heard the dense sound of flapping wings. Looking up, he was immediately horrified.
Hundreds and thousands of Nether Crows were diving toward the ghost ship, and still more Nether Crows were exploding.
Sun had completely lost control of his emotions, his inner excitement beyond words. While his true body informed Li Tiangang, his avatars pursued the ghost ship.
To not have cultivated a technique, yet rely on an artifact to display a portion of its power, what did this represent?!!
No matter how Ren Qing had done it, this could easily resolve the difficulty the Restraint Officers' Hall was facing, namely the severe lack of usable manpower.
Even if such artifacts could only increase the strength of reservists, for the Restraint Officers' Hall this still meant several hundred more living forces.
Even if the Restraint Officers' Hall recruited reservists in a hurry, it could not change the predicament of only several dozen official Restraint Officers.
Ren Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He was wondering whether Sun had suddenly mutated and lost control.
Reasonably speaking, he had not even displayed the true characteristics of the Eerie Fetus Refining Method, and already he was acting so crazed. What would it be like later?
"Senior Sun, we can talk things over calmly, let's keep our tempers..."
Hundreds of Nether Crows shouted in unison: "Tell me, how exactly did you do it, to drive a technique in the form of an artifact?!!"
"It begins with a refining method called the Eerie Fetus..."
Ren Qing was just pondering how to explain concisely to Sun, when a vast shadow already covered the ghost ship, Sun's true body had arrived.
On Sun's back still stood Li Tiangang, his expression serious, his gaze seemingly searching for that special bone sword.
"Go to Avici Hell to speak further!"
Li Tiangang threw out a sheet of paper, directly forming a vast gateway.
Sun nodded, his claw grabbing the ghost ship's gunwale, flapping his wings and carrying it into the gateway, in the blink of an eye arriving at Avici Hell.
Although the ghost ship did not even reach the Half-Corpse Realm, since its main material was Ksitigarbha ribs, it naturally produced dissatisfaction toward Sun's actions.
It tried to struggle free with its sails, but clearly to no avail.
Sun at this was both alarmed and delighted.
It just felt that this so-called Eerie Fetus Refining Method was somewhat strange. How could it make an artifact become so spiritual, just thinking about it was inconceivable.
Li Tiangang, however, calmed down. Using technique to contact the Great Dream True Person, he again summoned Yin Runner Realm ones to the ghost market.
But only the jarred head could come, everyone else was in seclusion.
Sun placed the ghost ship atop the dream tree, smashing the flat trunk into a bent shape, causing Ren Qing inwardly to curse.
Those who did not run the household did not know the cost of firewood and rice; repairing it later would again take quite some effort.
Sun chattered nonstop, wanting to know the details of the Eerie Fetus artifact, but considering that the Great Dream True Person had not yet arrived, he could only patiently wait.
A moment later, the jarred head, full of helplessness, rolled up from the tree's base.
"What matter now, summoning every few days..."
When he saw Li Tiangang and the two surrounding Ren Qing, he immediately realized it was the latter's doing, and his mouth corner could not help twitching.
Truly knows how to cause trouble.
The Great Dream True Person also appeared then, twisted light and shadow constantly flickering. He should already have heard of the Eerie Fetus artifact from Li Tiangang.
Li Tiangang slightly nodded: "Ren Qing, you speak."
Ren Qing grinned awkwardly, scratched his head, then took out a thick book, the cover neatly inscribed with "Eerie Fetus Refining Method."
Inside, in addition to recording the refining method, there was also usage of the Eerie Fetus artifact, and all aspects relating to the Restraint Officers' Hall.
He did not hold much back, because once one knew the concept of the Eerie Fetus Refining Method, spending some time one could perfect it almost entirely.
Just right to let the Restraint Officers' Hall resolve the problem of the growth of Eerie Fetus artifact consciousness, while Ren Qing sat back and enjoyed the results.
"Too troublesome to explain, seniors please read for yourselves."
The Great Dream True Person stretched out his arm, the book instantly came into his palm, then his eyes' Double Pupils released waves of eerie light, within a few breaths he had finished reading.
Ren Qing raised his brow.
The Great Dream True Person's Blindless Method should already have mutated at least once, the ability just displayed was some kind of mutation branch.
Worthy of the Yang God Realm, to grasp a technique from the start required hardly any time.
The laconic Great Dream True Person spoke: "Great prospects. Now that you are the lord of the ghost market, proceed as you have said."
Immediately the Eerie Fetus Refining Method was passed into Li Tiangang's hands.
Li Tiangang did not have the ability to read ten lines at a glance, so he patiently read page by page, from time to time using a brush to record on paper.
Sun seeing this scratched his ears and cheeks, clearly extremely curious about the Eerie Fetus Refining Method.
After Li Tiangang finished, his expression could not suppress his astonishment, regarding Ren Qing like a monster, making Ren Qing's scalp prickle.
He handed the book to Sun, then curiously asked: "The large artifact you speak of in the book, is it this ship?"
Having mere spirituality was of little use in fact, besides the promotion of Eerie Fetus artifacts was rather troublesome.
"The main material of the sand ship is Ksitigarbha ribs. This Eerie Fetus artifact has the potential to advance to the Yang God Realm, but it still requires excavation."
Li Tiangang and the other two looked at each other, their breathing growing heavy.
To know that Ksitigarbha ribs could repair themselves, this indeed was a refining method that could change the situation, even sufficient to influence later generations.
In addition to being shocked at Ren Qing's talent, they also felt some admiration for his lack of reservation, beginning in their hearts to treat him as a peer.
While speaking, Ren Qing put away the ghost ship into the Prison Within the Abdomen, then took out the newly refined sand ship.
The ghost ship's consciousness was rather special, so it was better to use the sand ship as an example, otherwise it would easily make them feel the difficulty of refinement was too low.
If the seniors did not study the method for Eerie Fetus artifact consciousness growth, would it not be troublesome.
"Great Dream True Person, is there a Supernatural Remnant of the Taotie Method's Martial Practitioner Realm?"
The Great Dream True Person stretched out his hand into the Great Dream Arcane Path, and gave Ren Qing a lump of flesh ball.
Ren Qing immediately left Avici Hell, came to the marshland outside, and within moments the Supernatural Remnant transformed into an Eerie Fetus.
When he returned, the planks making up the sand ship's whole body trembled slightly, clearly the Eerie Fetus artifact could no longer be suppressed.
The jarred head had also finished reading the Eerie Fetus Refining Method, everyone's gaze fixed on Ren Qing's actions.
Ren Qing pried open the sand ship's planks, revealing the dragon bone within, then bound the Eerie Fetus with Dragon-Snake Spine and brought it close.
The dragon bone grew flesh buds, tightly entwining the Eerie Fetus, the two began to merge.
The gaps between the planks gradually tightened, each material became tougher, and integrated as one, the aura of the Taotie Method spreading out.
Only then did Ren Qing realize what the ability of the sand ship Eerie Fetus artifact was.
In fact, previously the ghost ship had already displayed a part of it, that was the core of the Taotie Method, able to devour other materials to make up for its own defects.
