If materials resistant to high temperature were attached to the surface of the hull, after long-term absorption, the ghost ship could even sail in magma.
There were also freezing, thunder, venom...
And there were more uses that needed to be excavated. After all, Ren Qing also did not know what would happen when an Eerie Fetus artifact was promoted to Yin Runner or Yang God.
If the Restraint Officers' Hall truly had to retreat from Xiang, the sand ship could cope with many sudden situations, showing its survival ability.
Li Tiangang and the others clearly also realized this point, their evaluation of the sand ship increased by several points, constantly weighing the gains and losses.
The head in the jar opened its mouth and said: "In this way, if one wants to control the sand ship Eerie Fetus artifact, indeed more cultivators should grasp The Taotie Method, and moreover it must be along the route of the Secondary Stomach."
Sun laughed with a "heh heh" and said: "It seems I also must attempt to cultivate The Taotie Method."
[The Taotie Method]
[The Taotie Method is inscribed in the stomach of the strange beast Taotie, obtained by the Meat and Wine Taoist. To cultivate this method requires large amounts of eating, until the stomach expands to more than six times, then it can be accomplished.]
The entry conditions of The Taotie Method were also not considered harsh, otherwise if one wanted to promote this technique in the Restraint Officers' Hall, the difficulty would be too high.
Li Tiangang pondered for a long while, frowned, and asked: "True Person, how many stalks of Bitter Yellow Grass remain in the Great Dream Pavilion?"
Great Dream True Person answered without thinking: "Altogether three thousand seven hundred stalks."
Ren Qing was startled for a moment, but very quickly reacted.
The medicinal effect of Bitter Yellow Grass was unique; boiled into a thick juice and drunk, it would form a membrane covering the stomach.
Even if one ate food containing poison, the stomach would not be harmed.
Most importantly, Bitter Yellow Grass could repair the stomach. Mortals cultivating The Taotie Method would inevitably damage their bodies, and this could be used as a trick.
Li Tiangang nodded and said: "At present more than three thousand stalks of Bitter Yellow Grass is entirely not enough, I will immediately contact Heshan Town to plant it."
After he finished speaking he looked at Ren Qing, wanting to speak yet stopping: "Since this is the case, the instruction of the Eerie Fetus artifact refinement method will be entrusted to you, Ren Qing, but..."
Ren Qing also understood Li Tiangang's concern. If the Eerie Fetus artifact refinement method spread out, it would very likely lead to large numbers of Restraint Officers going to the marshes.
Uncontrollable casualties would be unavoidable, so still it must be treated cautiously.
"Actually one could develop power in Huang Sand City, letting the Gobi people be the Restraint Officers to come into contact with the Eerie Fetus artifact refinement method, I think there should be no problem."
Li Tiangang carefully calculated, and indeed this was reasonable.
In these days of contact with Sha Shanzi, he had discovered the talent of the Gobi people for cultivating techniques was not bad, mainly that their disposition was excellent.
Even if the advantages and disadvantages of the technique were told to the Gobi people, probably most would not retreat.
Ren Qing opportunely recommended the abridged version of the Wind and Sand Method as the technique for the Gobi people, and Li Tiangang also felt this was good.
Only he did not know that Ren Qing had already laid out in Huang Sand City, and many officially-appointed Daoists had already cultivated the Wind and Sand Method.
But for the Restraint Officers' Hall to want to intervene in Huang Sand City was still not easy.
Ren Qing asked in puzzlement: "Senior Li Tiangang, after having the sand ship artifact, in the coming days you are about to go to Huang Sand City?"
Li Tiangang slightly nodded and said: "Yes, I will prepare a little."
At present the plan of the Restraint Officers' Hall was mainly probing, Sun was responsible for Qingxu Palace, he was responsible for Huang Sand City, transmission of the Dao was not the main point.
Ren Qing hesitated a moment, then told in detail the Water Marsh Method to everyone, especially concerning the third realm of immortality, the Arcane Eating Realm.
After hearing, Li Tiangang fell into deep thought.
In this way it seemed, the power of the Ze people could not be underestimated. As long as they discovered the existence of a Restraint Officer, they would inevitably rise up to attack.
Restraint Officer and Ze people seemed to be born hostile, irreconcilable until death.
"I will be careful, try my best to restrain my aura and pass through the sandstorm."
Li Tiangang possessed the cultivation of Releasing the Yin God, he could retract and release techniques freely, silently sneaking into the city was still relatively easy.
Ren Qing moved his thoughts and said: "Some Gobi people can be selected to be brought to Avici Hell, I will instruct them in the Eerie Fetus artifact refinement method."
He seemed to be doing this for the development of the refinement method, but in fact he wanted to get some shop employees, ordinary refinement work could be entrusted to the Gobi people.
Li Tiangang very quickly agreed, for him this was entirely a simple matter.
The general plan of the Restraint Officers' Hall was then decided. If they could digest the marshes, their development speed would have a leap-like increase.
Great Dream True Person then disappeared, not knowing where he went.
They then spoke again about the Eerie Fetus artifact refinement method, discussing the issue of the consciousness of the Eerie Fetus artifact.
If the Eerie Fetus artifact could not autonomously improve its consciousness, then reaching the Half-Corpse Realm would be its upper limit.
Ren Qing saw them put forward many kinds of reliable possibilities: some said to use techniques to nurture, others through evil objects to stimulate its resentment...
The head in the jar was the most lively, often able to extrapolate and expand the ideas.
From the books collected in the Secret Pavilion one could see, he was very interested in the refinement method.
Seeing this, Ren Qing did not participate, he took out three Eerie Fetus artifacts prepared in advance, and handed them to Li Tiangang and the other two.
He prepared to continue closed-door cultivation, just as he was about to leave he suddenly remembered something, quickly walked to the shop front of the Great Dream Pavilion.
The Soul Butterfly at Ren Qing's fingertip flickered, he closed his eyes attempting to use the Butterfly Dream Technique to communicate with the Great Dream Pavilion.
Li Tiangang's gaze condensed, he could not help but turn his head to look at Ren Qing.
Not knowing if it was an illusion, the aura just now released by the other seemed to be the Butterfly Dream Technique, even reaching the Ghost Envoy Realm level.
But in just a few months to create the Eerie Fetus artifact refinement method was already exaggerated enough, he had also along the way refined a sand ship.
If he also cultivated the Butterfly Dream Technique to the Ghost Envoy Realm...
It was simply terrifying.
Li Tiangang withdrew his gaze, it must have been he saw wrong, even if talent was great and diligence high, there must be a limit.
Ren Qing spent only a few breaths, then replenished large amounts of resources inside the Prison Within the Abdomen.
Including the Supernatural Remnant of the first three realms of The Taotie Method, prepared to use these to promote the ghost ship.
"Fellow seniors, I still have some matters so I will go first."
The head in the jar raised its head and said: "Spend more effort on cultivation, strive to merge the Yin God early, the Eerie Fetus artifact refinement method will be handed to this old man."
Li Tiangang also thought so.
After Great Dream True Person, in the Restraint Officers' Hall those with hope to advance to Yang God Realm, apart from Song Zongwu, only Ren Qing was most possible.
After all Ren Qing mastered many techniques, representing deep foundation, if one path did not work, he could choose to change to another path.
Ren Qing then left Avici Hell.
The ghost ship was put back onto the scorching sand dunes, sailing again in the Shuize Desert.
Ren Qing glanced at the position of Qingxu Palace.
His split soul was already on the verge of dissipating, only supported by the main soul. If this continued for long it could even affect the cultivation of The Blindless Method.
But for Ren Qing to abandon the split soul, in his heart he was unwilling.
If he could further come into contact with the secrets of Qingxu Palace, perhaps he could have the chance to obtain part of the body of the Meat and Wine Taoist.
That was Heavenly Abomination Realm material, its potential even more terrifying than the ghost ship.
Even if Ren Qing re-nurtured a split soul and again cultivated the Ze Immortal Method Ascension, since the two split souls had the same appearance, it was very difficult to conceal with techniques.
He could only hope for some turning point.
Ren Qing shook his head, from his palm emerged a narrow long Dragon-Snake Spine, binding the Supernatural Remnant of The Taotie Method and stabbing it into the sand pile.
The consciousness of the Supernatural Remnant was gradually worn away.
At the instant the Eerie Fetus was formed, the ghost ship suddenly accelerated, the planks creaked, like a wild wolf smelling blood.
Ren Qing calmly put away the Eerie Fetus, then handled the Supernatural Remnant of Half-Corpse Realm.
Finally he walked to the bottom of the cabin, pried open the planks, and saw the exposed surface of the keel was stained with flesh and blood, appearing extremely grotesque.
This was the difference of the ghost ship.
After baptism by the Lord of Absolute Darkness, the ghost ship already possessed life. Although it would not therefore give birth to a soul, its consciousness was constantly growing.
Ren Qing threw the Eerie Fetus of the Martial Practitioner Realm of The Taotie Method to the keel, the latter quickly devoured it, and moreover dark red lines spread on the planks.
The lines were formed only after Nightmare Demonification, but now seemed to be solidified on the surface of the hull, the deck becoming more and more like the skin of some strange object.
The wolf head at the bow blinked its eyes, ferocity completely revealed.
Ren Qing looked around.
It should not have been his illusion, clearly the ghost ship's size had not changed, but the cabin's space had increased by one third.
It seemed the wondrous uses of the Eerie Fetus artifact had far from been fully explored.
When he took out the Eerie Fetus of the Half-Corpse Realm, parts of the keel actually detached from the ghost ship, like a long snake staring fixedly at the Eerie Fetus.
Ren Qing did not hastily let it devour, but instead cut open his arm, pouring blood to irrigate the keel, the latter instinctively absorbed it.
The ghost ship was originally closely linked with him, so refining it was not difficult.
Ren Qing paid with half of his body's blood, only then felt the consciousness of the ghost ship, able to control the Eerie Fetus artifact as if an extension of his limbs.
Seeing this he released the Eerie Fetus, the keel impatiently devoured it, the aura of The Taotie Method became increasingly dense.
The gaps in the planks slowly disappeared, dark red lines had already covered the hull.
The wolf head at the bow completely came alive, baring its fangs at the air.
Ren Qing's expression became strange: why did the ghost ship contain not only the technique of The Taotie Method, but also a flavor of Nightmare Demon?
Could it be that the Nightmare Demonification of the Lord of Absolute Darkness was even stranger than expected?
After thinking a few breaths he displayed the ability of the Lord of Absolute Darkness, his eyes instantly covered by Double Pupils, his body seeming to be shrouded in black gauze.
Ren Qing tried his best to suppress the technique, so that the disturbance born would not be too great.
Then the wolf head at the bow of the ghost ship produced an abnormal movement.
At the same time, inside the Prison Within the Abdomen, the ghost wolf stood up.
It felt an incomparable drowsiness surge forth, before it could react it sank into a dead sleep.
The ghost wolf fell into a dream...
And the ghost ship under the stimulation of the technique, its hull directly turned into flesh and blood, the wolf head at the bow gradually swelled, then four limbs grew out.
Within a few breaths, the ghost ship actually turned into a twenty-meter ghost wolf with four limbs on the ground, running on the hills as if on flat ground.
But not long after running, the ghost ship transmitted the thought of exhaustion, clearly just newly advanced to Half-Corpse Realm, its cultivation was still too weak.
Ren Qing canceled the Lord of Absolute Darkness, and the ghost ship returned to its original form.
He had not expected that an Eerie Fetus artifact encountering Nightmare Demonification would produce such inexplicable abilities, completely departing from the framework of an artifact.
And the ghost wolf was still in sleep, only lying sideways on the ground its four limbs constantly moving chaotically.
Kunpeng was somewhat disdainful, though it did not know that Ren Qing already intended to refine another Kunpeng bow, after all there was still plenty of space at the prow.
The ghost ship once again returned to tranquility, countless days and nights alternating.
Ren Qing's days on the ship were still abundant, but thinking carefully, it was about time for the ghost market to reopen.
This must earn some lifespan, to have a thorough great improvement.
