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

The black bird flies and the rabbit runs:

A month has passed...

The spirits and warriors of the market suddenly discovered that the most sought-after items were no longer traditional agricultural products such as blood, limbs, and yang energy.

Instead, it became sunlight—sunlight that had been refined by magic.

A ray of sunlight is worth ten green coins.

The price is very low, but the acquiring party has no restrictions on its acquisition.

We accept whatever you have, no matter how much, and pay in cash.

This is quite acceptable for many spirits and new cultivators.

The attraction is even greater for spirits and monsters:

Because they discovered that as long as they wanted to refine sunlight, someone would teach them the best techniques for collecting sunlight and how to worship the great sun.

In this way, they can not only learn magic for free, but also make money.

Pig Demon Afei saw a business opportunity in this Sunshine Procurement.

Because his family was too large and he couldn't get enough to eat or wear, he eventually came to the market to work.

After undergoing a series of business ventures, including blood draws and partnering with a cultivator skilled in the art of creation to sell pork trotter rice and pork intestine noodles, his body became so weak that even the art of creation couldn't cure him, and he was ultimately abandoned.

He thought he would die in some corner, his flesh and skin torn apart by humans and monsters, and even his bones would be decomposed, dying silently.

As a result, he unexpectedly discovered the emerging industry of refining and acquiring sunlight.

After just a little research, he realized: "This emerging industry will be the foundation for my rise, Ah Fei."

He gritted his teeth, sold some blood, bought some dry rations, learned magic and how to worship the great sun, and headed straight for his hometown.

Along the way, he trekked through mountains and rivers, walking for three days and three nights, until finally, in a vast mountain range, he saw his hometown: Wild Boar Slope.

This Wild Boar Slope is very large, and a large number of wild boar spirits live there.

In order to make a living, most spirits will continue to reproduce and sell those that have not become spirits in order to supplement their household income.

When Afei returned, many little spirits looked at him with curiosity: "Who are you?"

"What are you going to do?"

Ah Fei kicked the piglet aside and charged all the way to the top of Wild Boar Slope, shouting, "Everyone, I have some good news to bring you so you can get rich!"

Whoosh!

The countless wild boar spirits looked at him with curiosity and anticipation.

"Refining a ray of sunlight can earn you eight Qingfu coins."

"Eight green coin (青蚨)... how much grain can they buy? How many piglets can they feed?"

Have you thought about this?

These wild boar spirits have never left Wild Boar Slope, nor have they ever been to the market.

In their simple mind, they knew that one green worm could feed a piglet its fill.

Eight...enough to feed eight piglets.

"How do you refine it?"

"How much can you train in a day?"

Seeing the excited expressions on the faces of the spirits, Afei smiled.

Another month has passed:

In the second layer of the world, whether it was day or night, a large number of cultivators, carrying large gourds, spewed out beams of sunlight and rushed towards the miscellaneous hall without restraint.

The evil spirits on most of the exterior walls, doors, windows, and pillars of the miscellaneous hall have been cleansed.

Evil still lingers on some of the doors and windows.

When the group of evil spirits saw the cultivators carrying gourds swarming towards them, their expressions changed drastically: "Don't come any closer!"

With the next breath, rays of sunlight poured onto the doors, windows, and pillars of the hall.

Noisy!Noisy!

The evil ones howled and screamed.

Having barely weathered the scorching sun, they looked at the cultivators with their empty gourds and laughed smugly: "A bunch of poor bastards, no more sunlight, huh!"

"Just light it up every day!"

"Let's see what you can do to us!"

Then, not long after, another group of cultivators came over carrying a large gourd. They opened the gourd and, amidst the many evil and desperate eyes, showered it with sunlight.

"No........."

Evil utters a desperate cry.

Third month:

At Wild Boar Slope, Afei led a herd of bull demons, bringing over huge bronze mirrors.

He instructed the spirits to install the bronze mirrors on other hilltops, aiming them at certain special locations on Wild Boar Slope: "From now on, everyone should go to these spots to collect sunlight."

"I promise that from now on, everyone will be able to gather more sunlight and refine more sunlight."

A wild boar demon pointed at the enormous bronze mirror and asked, "Brother Fei, what are these things for?"

Ah Fei chuckled strangely, "Naturally, it gathers sunlight."

"It is said that a Taoist priest named Sahua developed it, which can enhance the efficiency of sun-gathering."

"Alright, stop dawdling."

"Everyone's lining up to soak up the sunlight."

"Those who can't get in line, go have a baby!"

"Once the little ones are born, immediately go to the altar to worship the Great Sun!"

"The more times we worship the sun, and the more devout we are, the more sunlight we will be able to gather in the future."

Ah Fei from Wild Boar Slope has turned his life around.

In the mountains, there are countless spirits and monsters that have been transformed by gathering and refining sunlight.

They either take advantage of the villagers' illiteracy and lack of knowledge to make a profit from the price difference; or they work hard to refine sunlight, gradually accumulating wealth in preparation for finding a wife.

Although they are spirits, they don't have much magical power.

However, according to the latest version of the refining method, they can refine about twenty streams of sunlight every day.

This little bit of sunlight, this little bit of money, is actually very little; in the market, it's barely enough to make ends meet.

However, in the mountains, about twenty rays of sunlight are enough for them to live a fulfilling life and even achieve a comfortable standard of living.

Moreover, many spirits also discovered:

As the number of times they worshipped the Great Sun increased, their efficiency in refining sunlight each day also improved.

Although the improvement is insignificant, it's still an improvement!

In just three months, the output of sunlight increased seven or eight times; and as time goes on, the output of sunlight will continue to increase.

A large amount of sunlight entered the market and then fell into the hands of many Yin Gods, Yang Gods, and Body Cultivators.

Then it flows into the second layer of the world.

Wang Quan and Ying Jiaren also tried purchasing sunlight.

Neither of them is short of money.

In particular, Wang Quan could refine a magical power in half an hour, exchange it for a million Qingfu, and buy ten thousand rays of sunlight to cleanse evil.

These ten thousand rays of sunlight are equivalent to the effect of one hundred recitations of the Sutra of Salvation.

However, the two only tried it once and decided not to waste their money.

because:

They discovered that the merit gained from cleansing evil with sunlight is only one-tenth of the merit gained from the sutra of salvation.

"Using sunlight isn't cost-effective!"

"The 'Scripture of Helping Others' is the most suitable!"

Moreover, using sunlight to cleanse evil cannot increase the foundation of Yin and Yang spirits.

So the two tried it once and then gave up; instead, they continued to use the Scripture of Salvation to cleanse evil.

At the end of the third month, the day for the Si family to return the goose eggs was approaching.

"I wonder if Senior Sister has made arrangements for everyone!" Wang Quan contacted the round-faced Taoist nun.

After the seventy-two Refining Demon teams stabilized, the Si and Zhong families joined forces to provide him with a mountain seven or eight thousand meters high beside the Nu River, as well as a valley and other attached hills, as an extra reward.

At that time, Wang Quan only arranged for a few hundred spirits who planted the Misty Grass to go over and do some simple cleaning.

Now that the goose egg is about to return, he has sought out the round-faced Taoist nun to recruit laborers for large-scale construction.

He plans to build a long-term, sustainable business centered around goose eggs:

They cultivate innate martial artists, grow medicinal herbs, train new cultivators, or train laborers to gather essence, thereby accumulating resources.
