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

House of Commons:

The round-faced Taoist nun showed Wang Quan the information about the hunchbacked old man that appeared in the token: "If you hadn't left, this hunchback would probably have kowtowed to you a few times."

Although the hunchback had a reputation for cleaning up anomalies, his skills were actually quite ordinary.

Just as she initially thought: Hunchback and others were only fit to be cannon fodder.

If nothing unexpected happens, even if he survives this time, he will be killed by some anomaly not long afterward.

However, after Wang Quan personally taught them, the general framework for the hunchback and the others' future cultivation was planned out, and they also learned a set of techniques.

Even if there is not much improvement in the Taoist scriptures in the future, one can still use the framework given by the royal power to thrive in the industry of clearing up anomalies.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "It was nothing!"

"I promised to teach them how to clean up anomalies, so I must make sure they master some of it."

"Otherwise... I'm a little hesitant to take that set of external pills that replenish mana."

Pfft!

The round-faced Taoist nun chuckled: "Swindling and cheating are things many people do."

"Besides, the method you initially told them was correct."

"If they can't learn it or use it, it's none of your business!"

"You're just so kind-hearted!"

Wang Quan smiled but didn't say anything.

Kind-hearted?

hehe.....!

"Alright, I'm off to the second layer of the world!"

"The low-level evil in that canteen has been mostly eliminated, and I have obtained a new external elixir to replenish my mana; from now on, I will spend most of my daytime there."

"If you need anything, try to contact me after collecting the purple aura in the morning."

The round-faced Taoist nun blinked: "Can't it be at night?"

"I'm really bored tonight, I was thinking of buying you a drink!"

Wang Quan shook his head: "I have an appointment with a fellow Daoist tonight to study Daoist scriptures together!"

The round-faced Taoist nun sighed, "Alright!"

"Be careful!"

"I've been to the cafeteria a few times, and it feels increasingly eerie."

Wang Quan nodded: "Understood!"

The round-faced Taoist nun left.

Wang Quan silently closed the coffin lid and released his Yang God to step into the second world.

Gather purple energy, refine the "Poppy Beauty" (a type of herb), cleanse evil, and follow the beautiful woman to comprehend the Taoist scriptures.

The days passed peacefully, yet not in a dull way.

one day....

Three days....

Five days.....

In the past few days, thanks to the two sets of first-stage external pills replenishing his mana, Wang Quan's efficiency in eliminating evil has increased dramatically.

At dusk that day, just as he replenished his mana in the real world and entered the second layer of the world, he was surprised to find that the Si family's original cultivator was waiting for him.

"Brother Daoist, let's scatter flowers!"

Wang Quan nodded: "Fellow Daoist Si, is there something you need?"

The cultivator surnamed Si smiled wryly: "A friend of mine whom I haven't seen for many years asked me to pass on a message to you."

Wang Quan's lips twitched: "Speak!"

He said, "I know about your purge of his men in the Nu River area, and I want to talk to you about it!"

Wang Quan raised an eyebrow.

The Nu River? A purge of his subordinates?

He immediately thought of the anomaly the Refining Demon team had encountered.

At this moment, the monk surnamed Si continued, "My friend from my youth is now researching anomalies."

"I heard from my family that his abnormality was interfering with your Qi Refining, so you cleared away those abnormalities?"

Wang Quan nodded: "Yes, that's true."

"Heh, I haven't even caused any trouble yet, and he's already coming to me on his own initiative?"

The cultivator surnamed Si smiled wryly: "Brother Sahua, he probably isn't looking for trouble, but rather wants to reconcile with you."

Wang Quan was taken aback: "Then... I want to see him now."

The cultivator surnamed Si breathed a sigh of relief: "You choose the location, and I'll let him see you."

Wang Quan pointed to a nearby building: "The Library!"

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

Since transforming into a Yang God, Wang Quan has entered and exited the second layer of the world every day, but this is the first time he has come to the Scripture Pavilion.

The library in the second layer of the world is exactly the same as that in the first layer.

The tables, chairs, benches, writing brushes, ink, paper, and even the tiny scratches on the bookshelves are all exactly the same.

Wang Quan even suspected that if one chair were removed from the library in the real world, there might be one less here as well.

He casually found a chair to sit down, and then began studying Taoist scriptures, estimating the blessings the scripture library would bring him.

Ten breaths...

One hundred breaths...

A cup of tea's time...

"The library can almost double the ability to understand Taoist scriptures."

That's very efficient.

However, it simply cannot compare to the spell "Poppy".

"If... Yingjia and I were to cultivate the [Yu Meiren] technique in the Scripture Pavilion, then... how much would the increase be?"

"However, the library is a bit empty!"

"If someone sees me practicing, I'm afraid... that wouldn't be appropriate!"

"How about we put up a curtain for privacy? Or should we craft a room with magical artifacts?"

My thoughts are wandering...

tread!tread!tread!

The crisp sound of footsteps startled him from his wandering thoughts.

Wang Quan turned around and saw the cultivator surnamed Si leading a cultivator in black robes into the room.

The black-robed monk wore a cloak, his face obscured by smoke.

However, as the other person approached him, the smoke on his face dissipated, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.

The other person pushed down the hood of his cloak, revealing a bald head: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Scattering Flowers."

"You may call me Master Puzhao."

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Puzhao."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sat down on the ground.

The cultivator surnamed Si remained silent to the side, as if he were invisible.

There was no incense burner, no palace maids serving tea. The two simply exchanged a glance, and the bald-headed Daoist Puzhao spoke: "Fellow Daoist Sahua, the unusual attack on your Refining Ground was not my intention."

Wang Quan remained silent.

Bald Pu Zhao scratched his head, smiled, and explained, "I'm researching anomalies; it's just that some anomalies became intelligent and then escaped."

"They incite other anomalies, seize territory, and commit all sorts of evil deeds."

"Fortunately, fellow Daoist cleared them out, I..."

Boom!Boom!

Wang Quan tapped his fingers on the floor and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Puzhao, whether the anomaly escaped on its own or was released intentionally, it doesn't matter!"

"I don't care, I don't mind!"

"I just want to tell you, fellow Daoist, that this kind of thing can happen anywhere in the future, but it can never happen in the place where I'm refining evil spirits."

Bald head shines brightly, eyebrows raised.

He hadn't expected Wang Quan to speak so forcefully.

Is this a warning to me? Or is it showing off?

What gives him the right?

At this moment, Wang Quan said softly, "Fellow Daoist, although I have no family or power, I have a hundred ways to kill any cultivator who plots against me and is not below the Foundation Establishment stage."

His voice wasn't loud, but when it reached the ears of the bald Puzhao and the cultivator surnamed Si beside him, it was like a morning bell and evening drum, shaking their minds.

Bald-headed Puzhao smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, the Lower Academy is vast, and the cultivation world is even more vast!"

"Among cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage, experts are as numerous as clouds!"

"I see that you can only enter the second level of the world with your Yang Spirit; your physical body isn't capable of entering yet!"

"This shows that your [life cultivation] is inadequate, fellow Daoist."

"We cultivators cultivate both our physical and spiritual essence."

"If you can't even cultivate both body and spirit, how can you possibly kill any cultivator below the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Wang Quan smiled: "When killing someone at the Qi Refining Realm, the important thing is not [cultivating both body and spirit]."

"The important thing is the magic."

"As for me, I possess 36,000 perfect versions of spells. I wonder how many you, my friend, have mastered? And what versions are they?"

Bald Puzhao frowned and remained silent.
