Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Zhao Hongyi is decisive and efficient.

She directly contacted Wu Yong with the token: "Where are you? What are you doing?"

Ten breaths...

Zhao Hongyi frowned.

Because, in the past, whenever she sent a message, Wu Yong, though not immediately, would never have to wait this long.

In fact, when she contacted Wu Yong last night, he replied instantly.

"Could he be working?"

Zhao Hongyi was lost in thought.

One hundred breaths...

Zhao Hongyi sent another message.

There was still no reply.

Zhao Hongyi remained silent. She brushed her long hair behind her ear and began to count the threads on the whisk.

A cup of tea's time...

Wang Quan's magical powers had fully recovered, and he then spoke: "Why don't you slowly try to contact him?"

"I'm going to the second layer of the world first."

Zhao Hongyi hesitated. If Wang Quan left, wouldn't her efforts in making those connections have been in vain?

At that moment, the token trembled, and Wu Yong replied:

"I'm helping Wang Quan refine the [Iron Chain Evil]."

"Let's talk tonight!"

Zhao Hongyi spat out a breath of magic power onto the token, and the next second, Wu Yong's information appeared on it.

"Look, he's forging the [Iron Chain Evil] for you."

"He's there to do your work!"

"Fellow Daoist Wang Quan, if you want Wu Yong to do things for you, just tell me directly."

There's no need to hide it.

"He led several hundred people, originally to collect black sand."

"As a result... he disappeared without a word for three months, causing a lot of trouble."

Wang Quan's expression was strange: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, firstly, my friend hired a team to specifically refine the [Iron Chain Evil]. I have no idea how many people are in that team or what kind of people they are."

"I'll just pay!"

"Second: Wu Yong disappeared for three months, and you're only now looking for him? You're really careless."

Zhao Hongyi blushed and sighed, "You have no idea, I have quite a few Daoist partners."

"It's inevitable that some fellow practitioners might not be able to take good care of each other."

"Besides, Wu Yong and I had a little argument a while ago over some cultivation techniques, so... I just found out he ran away from home!"

Wang Quan remained silent; he truly didn't know what to say.

Zhao Hongyi whispered, "Could you let him come back?"

Wang Quan shook his head: "I don't concern myself with such matters; ask him, if he's willing to go back, I'll have someone pay his wages!"

Zhao Hongyi nodded and sent a message to Wu Yong, asking him to come back.

Wu Yong quickly replied: "Red dress, although I've been very tired lately, I'm also very happy."

"After I finished work, I thought about our relationship and the problems between us."

"I cannot accept that you have so many Daoist partners; I cannot accept that when you are having fun with other Daoist partners, I have to cast spells to entertain you."

"Back then I was young and ignorant, and you bewitched me."

"Now, I've been calm and clear-headed for three months."

"I, Wu Yong, am also a cultivator who has mastered six or seven thousand volumes of Daoist scriptures; my foundation is higher than that of many orthodox cultivators, so I should not cultivate new methods."

"I have now abandoned the power of the new method and started cultivating the orthodox power again."

"Even if you ask me to go back now, I won't be able to help you with anything!"

"I certainly won't cast spells to entertain you!"

"From now on, let's part ways peacefully and wish each other well!"

Wang Quan's lips twitched when he saw Wu Yong's reply.

On the contrary, Zhao Hongyi was dejected, her eyes red-rimmed, looking quite aggrieved: "Why is this guy so stubborn?"

"I have 108 Daoist partners, and I used to make love with him at least once a month."

"Of all my Daoist partners, he is the closest to me."

"Why are you so jealous over such a small thing?"

Wang Quan remained silent. He couldn't understand Zhao Hongyi's line of thinking, and he didn't respect it either.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please grieve alone for a while. I have some matters to attend to in the second layer of the world."

As he spoke, he lay down in the coffin, casually closed the lid, and his Yang spirit entered the second level of the world's dining hall to cleanse away an evil spirit.

After a short while, the Yang spirit returned.

Click!

Wang Quan lifted the coffin lid, preparing to restore his magical powers.

Then he saw Zhao Hongyi staring straight at him.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao..."

Zhao Hongyi: "Well, Fellow Daoist Wang Quan, I'm hosting a banquet for Qian Xiuyue tonight. Why don't you come and have some fun with me!"

Wang Quan's lips twitched: "I'm not going!"

"I still need to practice my meditation tonight!"

Zhao Hongyi shook her head: "A balance of tension and relaxation is the key."

"Straining too much in your practice will lead to mental and physical exhaustion and reduce efficiency."

Wang Quan smiled and said, "I know."

Seeing this, Zhao Hongyi quickly realized that Wang Quan would not attend her banquet even if he had the time.

"Well then, Fellow Daoist Wang Quan, farewell!"

"Let's have a drink together sometime."

"Um!"

call out!

Zhao Hongyi waved her whisk, which transformed into a streak of red light and landed on the auspicious clouds.

Before long, the sounds of playing instruments and singing, such as zithers and pipa, came from the auspicious clouds; then they swayed and drifted away.

Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Hongyi, every frown and smile, even her red-rimmed eyes, put immense pressure on him.

Fortunately, he practiced diligently during this period and managed to hold on.

"Zhao Hongyi is definitely practicing a fundamental technique related to the Yin-Yang Harmony!"

"Try to avoid contact with her in the future!"

While pondering, he regained his magical powers and continued to devote himself to the dining hall of the second layer of the world, fighting for the great cause of eliminating evil.

As night fell, while Wang Quan and Ying Jiaren were studying the Taoist scriptures together, Qian Xiuyue sent a rare message:

"What did you do to Zhao Hongyi?"

"She's holding a wine jar now and saying: 'I must make you one of my Daoist partners.'"

Wang Quan: "She's drunk!"

"Stop wasting your time with her!"

Qian Xiuyue: "Yes, this is the first time we've had a meal together with her this year!"

"By the way, we've officially withdrawn from the Star Covenant!"

"Now I'm considered a liberal monk!"

"We chose an ordinary mountain among the mountains, intending to build an ordinary manor!"

"Once everything is ready, I'll treat you to a banquet tonight!"

Wang Quan: "Okay!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two ended their contact.

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

At dawn, after gathering more than thirty strands of purple energy, Wang Quan immediately bid farewell to Ying Jiaren.

Ying Jiaren hesitated for a moment, then said coolly, "You seem to be in a hurry? Is there something urgent that needs to be dealt with?"

"Do you need my help?"

Wang Quan shook his head: "No need for help."

"I was just cleaning up some anomalies; it was a piece of cake!"

Ying Jiaren had never seen anything unusual before and didn't know how troublesome they were. She genuinely thought she could handle them easily, so she didn't ask for any more help.

call out!call out!call out!

Paper figures carried a sedan chair, bearing the royal power, traversing mountains and valleys, heading straight for the Nu River.

His primordial spirit sat atop the Seventy-Two Paths of Smoke and Dust, seizing the time to refine his magic in order to sell some Qingfu to sustain his demonic cultivation.

Fifteen minutes later:

The paper figures, carrying the royal power, arrived at a high mountain.

These mountains also have waterfalls.

On both sides of the waterfall, many cultivators gather water vapor and condense its essence.

There were cultivators guarding the mountaintop, and the other party assumed that Wang Quan also wanted to extract the essence from the water vapor: "Fellow Daoist, our mountain and waterfall only accept members of the New Law Alliance."

"If you don't have the New Law Alliance token, please find another faction."

Wang Quan smiled and said, "I'm not collecting water vapor; I'm just waiting for a few people."

The new cultivator frowned slightly: "But...!"

Wang Quan smiled, raising a finger in a shushing gesture: "No buts!"

"Just pretend you didn't see me!"

The new cultivator opened his mouth, then finally whispered, "If an inspector comes, just jump down. Don't make things difficult for me!"

"good!"
