Ren Qing sat cross-legged in the dark cave, trying to find an opportunity to be promoted to a skin refiner.
I thought that once I got close to the bottleneck, I would be promoted naturally.
But before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed, and except for the numbness on my skin that had not subsided, there was no feeling of breakthrough at all.
Ren Qing's mouth twitched, and then he opened his eyes.
He suddenly realized the most crucial point.
That is, although Ren Qing has three spells that have reached the half-corpse state, he actually has no experience in any spell promotion.
If you explore alone, it will definitely be difficult to get promoted in a short period of time, and there may even be unexpected changes during mining.
Ren Qing gritted his teeth, then took out an oil paper bag from his mouth.
The powder inside is derived from poisonous weeds that can be found near mountains and forests. It is dried and ground, and mixed with some iron sand.
They were all made with the help of Zhou Qianwu. He did not pay any money, but only gave some dry food in a symbolic way.
Ren Qing took off his clothes, and then rubbed the powder on the skin surface, causing a burning pain to spread.
hiss……
Ren Qing took a breath. If he hadn't had to be promoted to a skin refiner tonight, he wouldn't have used such an extreme method.
He had no intention of stopping until the skin all over his body turned dark red and the poison gradually seeped into his bone marrow.
The numbness caused by the human-skin book intensified.
Ren Qing tried his best to calm down, feeling the gradual transformation process of the technique, swallowing some animal eyes from time to time.
After more than half an hour, the pain caused by the poison had begun to subside, but there was still no opportunity for promotion.
Ren Qing shook his head slightly disappointedly.
Just as he was about to continue applying the powder, he suddenly felt his blood flowing rapidly, and an unreasonable fear surged into his heart.
The bats in the cave flew out in groups, as did the insects and rats.
Before Ren Qing could suppress his fear, his skin suddenly felt a violent tearing sensation.
He couldn't help but look at his arm. The skin on it was flowing like mucus, which looked extremely strange.
Ren Qing's pupils dilated and he suddenly realized something.
There was a similar scene after the monk's death, but he didn't expect that it would affect him now.
His skin seemed to be undergoing a strange transformation and trying to blend with flesh and blood.
"What kind of underworld style are these techniques?"
Ren Qing instinctively grabbed the skin with his hands, trying to stop the process of strange transformation, but the human skin became more active instead.
A whisper rang in my ears.
He finally understood why Song Zongwu was surprised that he was promoted to the Half-Zombie Realm without anyone to protect him. There was indeed a great unknown horror hidden in it.
Ren Qing calmed down, and if it didn't work out, he would spend his lifespan to be promoted.
Then he visualized the eyeless Dharma.
The murmurs turned into pitiful screams, and the aura of the Double Eye spell directly suppressed the strangely transformed human skin.
Only weirdness can fight against weirdness.
Seeing this, Ren Qing swallowed a large amount of eyeballs and his stomach began to wriggle.
For the first time, he tried to visualize the Taotie Dharma and the Eyeless Dharma at the same time. Unexpectedly, he succeeded due to his high concentration.
The human skin returned to normal, without any trace of the original strangeness.
When the morning sun lights up the white line, the consciousness of the human skin is completely wiped out, which also means that the skin refiner has been promoted.
Compared to being forcibly promoted, Ren Qing overcame the disaster and became calmer.
Information flow surges.
【Ren Qing】
[Age: seventeen]
[Shouyuan: six years and two hundred and eleven days]
[Skills: Eyeless method (for those with double pupils), Neuropodia (for those with wolf feet), Human Skin Book (for those who refine skin), Taotie method (for those with accessory stomach)]
The information flow did not show any abnormalities, which showed that it was feasible to promote the skills independently, but it was inevitable to face risks.
Since then, all of Ren Qing's spells have reached the level of half-corpse state. What is needed next is to integrate all the spells.
The alienation tree in my mind about the human skin book then made new progress.
The three alienation directions of the ghost realm are:
[Scape ghost skin: survive the injury without dying]
[Boneless Blood Demon: Flesh and Blood is Invisible]
[Human-Faced Beast Monster: Melted Skin Beast]
Ren Qing thought for a moment, and it seemed that the Boneless Blood Demon's control over flesh and blood would be even more terrifying after the Skinner's promotion.
The livestock herder should have transformed into an animal form by some means. According to the lifespan consumed, the saving grace is the most expensive.
As for Ren Qing's Skin Refiner, although it has no offensive means, it makes up for its deficiencies in defense very well.
In order to test the skin refiner's ability, he found a thicker branch and smashed it hard on his right leg.
The branches broke in response.
Ren Qing couldn't help but frown. He found that there were light bruises on his legs, indicating that they were not completely blocked.
The skin did feel tougher, but he expected to be immune to blunt weapons.
Ren Qing shook his head slightly disappointedly. Just as he was about to return to the camp, he suddenly discovered that the injury could be controlled by consciousness.
The bruise disappeared from the leg, and when it reappeared, it was already on the right arm.
His expression turned unexpected, which showed that the potential of the skin refiner was not inferior to that of the livestock herder and skinner, and was even better.
In addition to strengthening the skin's toughness, the skin refiner's main purpose is to control injuries.
Ren Qing picked up the Da Miao knife and slashed hard on the back of his hand.
Then he noticed that wounds caused by sharp objects can also be transferred, but the depth of the injury cannot be changed.
Thus.
Weaknesses such as the throat and lower vagina are gone.
Moreover, after being promoted to the Ghost Envoy realm in the future, his abilities will definitely be further improved, which represents extremely terrifying survivability.
No wonder it’s called “scapegoat skin”.
If he could master another quick recovery technique, he would be invincible.
Ren Qing couldn't help but feel deeply satisfied.
After gaining the experience of self-promotion, if you want to master the Demon Seed Sutra next, you don’t need to deliberately waste your lifespan to reach the Half-Zombie Realm.
When the matter of sealing off the disaster relief restricted area is completed, he can accumulate lifespan and prepare to break through the ghost realm.
Ren Qing stretched out his muscles and returned to the camp while it was getting light.
Most of the government officials have woken up and are working diligently to cut down trees.
And prisoners have even less time to sleep.
But compared to entering the cave, they would rather work intensively outside, at least they would not die at any time.
Song Zongwu had just left the cave and planned to eat some food. When he saw Ren Qing, he asked: "Where did you go early in the morning?"
Ren Qingshan smiled and replied: "I just went hunting when I had nothing to do."
"If you persist for a few more days, the excavation of the mountain will be quite smooth."
"Okay, go right away."
Ren Qing quickly got into the cave.
Song Zongwu looked at his back and murmured to himself: "Why do I feel that there are more changes? Could it be related to the human skin book?"
"Or is Taotie able to break through the half-zombie realm? That's really..."
Song Zongwu shook his head, thinking that after the excavation was completed, he would tell Ren Qing some of the pros and cons of the Ghost Envoy Realm.
