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

Since it was discovered that refined sunlight can permanently cleanse evil, this sunlight has become extremely scarce.

Even essences related to sunlight, such as Great Sun Essence, Pure Yang Essence, and Spring Essence, have seen their prices rise accordingly.

Countless spirits, new cultivators, and innate martial artists are actively or passively frantically gathering and refining sunlight.

Wang Quan and other monks improved many materials and arranged rituals.

However, sunlight production still cannot increase dramatically.

Many organizations that produce sunlight are racking their brains to increase production, and even dream of completely dominating the market.

But the reality is:

No matter how much refined sunlight is thrown into the market, it will be swallowed up instantly.

During this period, some organizations attempted to raise prices to reap more benefits.

However, the price increase lasted only fifteen minutes before the organization's leader was dealt with by a group of families and a large organization.

I heard that there was a wild boar spirit named Afei who had his kidneys cut off by a group of masked men, who then made him a stir-fried pork kidney dish and forced him to eat it himself.

Despite such brutal suppression, the price of refined Sunlight remained stable at ten Qingfu coins.

Wang Quan did not try to persuade the round-faced Taoist nun any further, because the difficulties were right in front of him.

If there isn't enough sunshine, the round-faced Taoist nun has to go back to her hometown.

He asked the other person how to refine Foundation Establishment Spiritual Light in their hometown.

The round-faced Taoist nun didn't hide anything and casually said, "I applied for a mission from the Lower Temple: to rob those seeking immortality who possess many Taoist scriptures in my hometown, and then escort them to the Lower Temple!"

"The House of Commons supports my creation of the Foundation Establishment Aura!"

Wang Quan nodded: "Okay, if you encounter any trouble in the future, just call me anytime."

"As long as I live, and as long as I have the ability to help, I can get there even if it's across thousands of miles!"

The round-faced Taoist nun chuckled: "Alright!"

"With your words, I will definitely come to you if I encounter any trouble in the future."

Wang Quan nodded without hesitation.

Seeing his seriousness, the round-faced Taoist nun smiled happily again.

At that moment, she felt that her previous efforts had paid off.

As night approached, the drinks were finished and the banquet ended.

Qian Xiuyue splashed the river water, causing water to surge and turn into waves that carried her and several Daoist companions home.

The round-faced Taoist nun summoned a ray of moonlight and rode away on it.

Wang Quan did not leave.

He sat upright by the riverbank, watching the rushing water, and slowly drank the remaining wine.

At this moment, all the praise and joy from the crowd during the day vanished without a trace.

An unprecedented loneliness swept over me.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

From afar came the sound of boatmen's chants. Wang Quan looked in the direction of the sound and saw large ships circling in the river.

One by one, cultivators and spirits, after drinking strong liquor, jumped into the river: some gathered evil energy, some searched for black sand, and some collected water essence, all extremely busy.

At this moment, several large ships launched small boats and sped toward Wang Quan.

These boats are adorned with gleaming golden lanterns, making the area around the small boats as bright as day.

As the small boat approached, a monk carried a lantern to illuminate it.

Many rays of light shone on him, and Wang Quan felt that the light was like refined sunlight.

When the cultivators on the small boat saw that Wang Quan was bathed in sunlight and no black smoke was rising from his body, they immediately laughed: "Fellow Daoist, we apologize!"

"We were worried that you had an abnormal tendency to seduce people, so we used this little sun lantern to shine on you."

Wang Quan laughed: "It's alright. There have been more and more unusual occurrences in recent years, so it's better to be cautious!"

The cultivators nodded: "Yes, there were many unusual occurrences in the river a few days ago; fortunately, there was a hunchback who led a group of experts and suppressed many of them!"

"Later, the hunchback died, and we thought there was no way to stop the anomalies anymore!"

"Unexpectedly, the hunchback's daughter regrouped and started a new team!"

"With the hunchbacked daughter around, unusual occurrences along this stretch of the Nu River are quite rare."

"Even if there are any, they are just a few that slipped through the net."

Wang Quan nodded: "Very good!"

The cultivators then gestured upwards, saying, "Fellow Daoist, would you be interested in going up to attend the grand feast of this important figure?"

Wang Quan shook his head: "I'm not going!"

The cultivators looked up at the brightly lit mountaintop: "It's a pity we still need to gather various spellcasting materials. Otherwise, we would definitely go up and say a few flattering words to the important figures, and perhaps we could get some rare beasts, spiritual herbs, or powerful medicines."

Wang Quan laughed loudly: "Where are any important figures up there? Only ordinary creatures struggling like you!"

These cultivators didn't believe him, and Wang Quan didn't argue. Instead, he talked to them about the currently popular sunlight: "Gathering resources in the river is dangerous. Why not concentrate on gathering and refining sunlight?"

The group of cultivators smiled wryly: "Fellow Daoist, it seems you are also someone who doesn't partake in worldly affairs."

"We are orthodox cultivators; it's not worth it for us to refine sunlight."

"Only low-level cultivators of the new magic, spirits, and innate martial artists can make a living by refining it."

"But if you want to make money, you still have to go to dangerous places and gather a lot of materials."

Wang Quan asked, "What if the price of sunlight doubles? Will it be worthwhile for you to refine sunlight then? Will it be worthwhile for advanced cultivators of the new magic method to refine it?"

The group of cultivators still shook their heads: "It's not worth it!"

"It would be worthwhile to increase it by at least three to five times!"

Wang Quan shook his head: "Too expensive!"

The group of cultivators laughed and said, "Everyone in the second layer of the world who uses sunlight complains that it's too expensive."

"If someone could develop a more efficient refining method, that would be wonderful!"

"At that time, everyone can go to the second layer of the world and try their luck to see if they can get a Foundation Establishment spiritual light."

Wang Quan chatted with these people for a while, then patted the box at his waist, and a paper palace maid carrying a sedan chair emerged, stepping on blue smoke.

The king rode in a sedan chair, which was carried by palace maids. The chair soared upwards, bathed in moonlight, and headed straight for the lower courtyard.

The small boat moved upwards, much to the astonishment of the many cultivators.

After a long while, a cultivator suddenly whispered, "At the foot of Linjiang Mountain, there are two boxes he carries with him. One of the boxes can release palace maids."

"Is this the legendary Flower-Scattering Taoist Wang Quan?"

A monk swallowed hard and muttered under his breath, "It shouldn't be!"

"A few months ago, many groups of people protecting flowers suddenly appeared. Now, many cultivators and even spirits have started to imitate the Flower-Scattering Taoist."

"What we're seeing is likely an imitator!"

"The real Daoist who sprinkles flowers is probably enjoying fine wine and delicacies on the mountain right now, living the ultimate in earthly bliss!"

One of the cultivators nodded: "I heard that the Flower-Scattering Taoist uses seventy-two beauties and thirty-six handsome young men every night."

"He must be having a great time right now, why would he be standing around in this dump?"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

One of the cultivators clapped his hands: "Alright, let's stop discussing the Flower-Scattering Taoist and get back to work!"

"Then make a fortune!"

"Let's try to be invited when Master Sahua hosts his next banquet!"

A square-faced monk chuckled, "If he really invites me, then my childhood sweetheart's parents will definitely agree to our marriage, even without asking for money."

One cultivator muttered, "It's said that those favored by the Flower-Scattering Daoist Wang Quan can obtain a Foundation Establishment spiritual light!"

"Really?" Many cultivators were skeptical.

"It really is real, more real than real gold!"

"Listen to me: My Daoist partner's Daoist partner is serving as a maid to some great man."

"She said that the important figure was favored by the Flower-Scattering Daoist, which is why he received a Foundation Establishment spiritual light; it is said that all the cultivators who received Foundation Establishment spiritual light during this period have been favored by him."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and finally one cultivator muttered, "If we were to encounter the Flower-Scattering Daoist Wang Quan, would we gain his favor?"
