Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

When Wu Jiaru arrived, she was full of energy, but when she left, her legs were trembling and her lips were as white as paper.

Shen Qingzhou, who was originally weak and looked as if she would collapse with a gust of wind, was now full of energy.

Shen Qingzhou wanted her to stay overnight, but she insisted on leaving, so Shen Qingzhou could only see her to the door.

Seeing her unsteady steps, almost tripping as she went down a flight of stairs, Shen Qingzhou asked with some concern, "Are you sure you can go back like this?"

Wu Jiaru turned around, glared at him fiercely, and continued downstairs while holding onto the stair railing.

Shen Qingzhou, shirtless, stood at the door and blew a smoke ring.

At this moment, his strong and powerful upper body was covered with scratches and bite marks, and some places were clearly bleeding.

Just as Wu Jiaru was about to disappear from sight around the corner, Shen Qingzhou suddenly said, "Beautiful lady, if you encounter any problems you can't solve, you can come to me. Of course, there's a fee..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiaru turned around and spat at him before disappearing from his sight.

Wu Jiaru slowly walked out of the stairwell and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a beast," she cursed inwardly.

She felt like she was split in two; her body was exhausted and she felt somewhat dizzy, but she was extremely relaxed mentally, without the tension she had felt before.

She reached up and touched her chest, where there was a jade pendant, which Shen Qingzhou had just given her.

It's supposed to be a good item, but it looks like a cheap piece carved from scrap material. Still, it's better than getting a stone for free.

She met Shen Qingzhou six months ago. At that time, she encountered some things and was on the verge of a breakdown, needing an emotional release.

Shen Qingzhou is good at comforting people and is also quite good-looking, with a charmingly roguish air. Over time, the two developed their current relationship.

He opened the Porsche door and got in. He touched his chest again and seemed to feel a warm sensation. His previously listless spirits seemed to improve.

So he floored the gas pedal, and the car shot off.

"Huh? What's that...?"

Wu Suyun, who was just bringing Xiao Qiu back, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Why is she here?

-----------------

Shen Qingzhou returned to her room and first pulled off the soaking wet sheets, intending to put them in the washing machine to wash them and then change into clean ones, otherwise she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Just then, a purple blob fell down.

"Huh? Isn't she wearing anything?"

Shen Qingzhou picked it up and sniffed it; a faint scent of her body still lingered on it.

Shen Qingzhou stuffed it into the washing machine along with the bed sheets before going to the bathroom.

Then he started cursing and swearing.

Because the water made his small wounds start to hurt, let alone soap.

When he came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, he saw that Xiao Qiu and Wu Ying had already returned.

"Oh my, you actually came back?" Shen Qingzhou was somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, Aunt Wu called me back, saying there are bad guys outside tonight," Xiao Qiu said.

Huh? Wu Suyun, did she run into Wu Jiaru? Shen Qingzhou wondered.

"Where is she?"

"I don't know." Xiao Qiu shook her head, stroking Wu Ying's dog head with her small hand.

"Alright, you guys go have fun. I have things to do, don't bother me."

Having regained his energy, Shen Qingzhou was ready to study the pool of water right now.

"Where is my mother?" Xiaoqiu asked.

"She went home after get off work, but she'll come back tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll wait for her here."

As Xiao Qiu spoke, she obediently sat down on the sofa, while Wu Ying jumped onto the sofa and rested her head on Xiao Qiu's lap, their relationship appearing extremely intimate.

"Are you that close?" Shen Qingzhou asked, somewhat surprised.

Wu Ying is very intelligent, which makes it difficult for them to get close to it. For example, Wu Suyun and Zhao Xuliang have known Wu Ying for a long time, but they can't even touch it.

Shen Qingzhou ignored her and went straight back to the second bedroom, where he took down the incense burner from the altar.

The incense burner contained a pool of deep blue water, its color clear and pure, with only a little incense ash mixed in.

This was a last resort; he had no other container at the time, and if he had delayed any longer, he might have swallowed the water directly.

Shen Qingzhou, holding the incense burner, sat down cross-legged again on the futon.

He made no extra movements, only lowered his eyes and stared intently at the pool of water in the furnace.

Black "insects" then emerged from between his eyebrows, and these "insects" surged more and more, quickly covering his entire face in dense swarms.

This time, however, these "insects" did not spread below his neck, but instead burrowed straight into his pupils, condensing into an inverted "8" shape in his pupils.

The next moment, he saw a net covering everything, including the pool of water he had brought back from the world of the dead.

At first glance, this part of the net above the pool looks no different from the nets covering other objects.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the runes that weave this net are of a form that Shen Qingzhou has never seen before, far more unique and complex than ordinary runes.

As Shen Qingzhou continued to watch, the runes that made up the net seemed to come alive, slowly moving and changing.

In a short while, Shen Qingzhou felt dizzy and the world in front of him suddenly stretched and spun. A sharp buzzing sound exploded in his ears, as if it was going to pierce his eardrums.

Just then, the "insects" on his face seemed to sense the danger, and suddenly trembled and blurred, then like a swarm of tadpoles, they swam rapidly and orderly across every corner of his face.

It was precisely because of this strange movement that Shen Qingzhou suddenly regained consciousness, his consciousness instantly withdrawing and returning to his body.

Shen Qingzhou gasped for breath, no longer daring to focus on the pool of water.

After calming down a bit, he pondered for a moment, then dipped his fingertip into a drop of water from the pool.

The next second, fine runes appeared on his wrist, extending like an ink line all the way to his fingertips, precisely matching the runes on the water droplets.

These runes are like lines of code in a computer.

The runes on this drop of water are entirely new characters forcibly inserted into the original code sequence.

Almost at the moment of docking, Shen Qingzhou's body suddenly showed abnormalities.

He, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the futon, suddenly turned upside down, with his head down and his buttocks up.

Then his figure blurred even more, and a strong tearing force seemed to be pulling his soul out of his body.

But this did not frighten Shen Qingzhou, nor did he think of deleting the new character from his body.

Instead, countless runes surged towards his fingertips like a tide, colliding one by one with this brand-new character.

This is a clumsy method, using arrangement to try to decipher the meaning of the rune.

Fortunately, the runes on Shen Qingzhou's body are all controlled by his consciousness; the faster his consciousness moves, the faster these runes arrange themselves.

This process was extremely painful. Shen Qingzhou had to endure the excruciating pain of his soul being torn from his body while constantly thinking about various new arrangements. Because of the excessive thinking, his brain began to overheat and generate high temperatures, making him feel like his brain was about to crack.

But Shen Qingzhou was ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself; he gritted his teeth and persevered.

He was relatively lucky; before he could try all the runes, he deciphered the meaning of this "character".

His body instantly returned to the futon.

This process looks very dangerous and magical, but the principle is actually very simple.

Simply put, Shen Qingzhou treated himself as a computer, and these new characters were completely unfamiliar writing systems.

Therefore, by filling in the blanks and making sentences, the correct return value is obtained, and then the meaning of the word is interpreted through words and sentences.

This new character roughly means something like reversal.

The reason it is described as similar is that each character has countless different interpretations. As long as the general meaning is correct, there is no standard answer.

Now that the deciphering had been completed, Shen Qingzhou immediately absorbed the new characters into his own body, which granted him a new ability.
