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

The "Reading Scriptures +1" trait was not present before; it only appeared after this advancement to "Second-Rank Daoist Seal Script".

Along with the [Reading Scriptures +1] feature, there are more than a dozen new features.

These properties are varied and numerous, some amplifying the power of spells, others enhancing the physical body.

Among the many new features, Wang Quan chose [Scripture Reading +1].

This characteristic cannot directly increase one's foundation and strength.

However, from the perspective of the royal power, this characteristic is actually very important.

Because the Taoist scriptures are fundamental.

This characteristic is clearly used to enhance the understanding of the Daoist scriptures.

"In the short term, I should choose [Refining +1]; this trait will allow me to double the mana I gather again."

"With more mana, I can sell it for more money, then sell it to buy Qingfu, which will speed up the collection of foundation building materials."

"However, it doesn't have much effect on subsequent improvements."

"As for the [Life Cultivation] type of characteristics, they can greatly increase my strength in the short term!"

"But it's no use."

"Even if my strength doubled now, I probably still wouldn't be able to defeat a proper Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"As for cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm, I can easily suppress them even without increasing my strength!"

"Therefore, I don't have high requirements for strength right now."

"Although the effects of the Taoist scriptures are not immediately apparent, they are related to the future."

"The sooner you master it, the sooner you can reap the benefits."

Building a solid foundation is important, but so is developing one's own strength.

However, after much deliberation, Wang Quan finally chose the [Taoist Scripture +1] trait.

Selecting characteristics changes the Daoist script information:

[Second-Rank Daoist Seal Script - Royal Power - Lifespan 25/260]

[Promotion requirements for Daoist Seal Rank: 2/3]

[Realm: Qi Refining / Breakthrough Level 72 Earthly Fiend Yang God!]

[Magic Power: [Bright Moon Magic Power - 1001 Paths], [Purple Qi Magic Power - 500 Paths], [Great Sun Magic Power - 10 Paths].

Fundamental Laws: [The Bright Moon Illuminates Me Law], [The Purple Qi Reaches the Heavens Law], [The Great Sun Shines Across the Sky Law]

[Spells: [Moonlight Paper Cutting Technique], [Moonlight Escape], [Yang Qi Furnace], [Yu Meiren]]

[Characteristics: Qi Gathering +1, Spirit Refinement +1, Dao Scripture +1 — After consuming 1000 Heavenly Secrets and reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, the third characteristic can be condensed.]

[Heavenly Secrets: 10.]

[Virtue accumulated: 20 units!]

[Qingfuqian: 6000 million]

Elixirs, essences, and magical treasures can all be transformed into celestial secrets.

Wang Quan was quite surprised when he saw his own information.

Because he remembered that his lifespan used to be up to 180 years; but now it has reached 260 years.

"My lifespan has already reached the Foundation Establishment level before I've even reached it?"

"Is it because of the second-grade Daoist seal?"

He pondered it, but couldn't figure it out, then gave up and said, "Increased lifespan is a good thing!"

After analyzing his own situation through the [Second-Rank Daoist Scripture], he began to plan his future cultivation direction and schedule:

"The transformation of the Sunflower Essence was all thanks to Qian Xiuyue; I can't waste any more time on it now."

"In the future: Yang Shen will collect and sell magical power day and night."

"During the day, the main body gathers magical power and learns the remaining spells; at night, it works with Ying Jiaren to cast [Yu Meiren] and comprehend the Taoist scriptures."

"As for the training of martial artists and spirits in Linjiang Mountain, let them develop on their own."

"These people and spirits aren't of much use to me right now."

"However, I can use them to build a framework, which I can then use directly when needed in the future."

Besides that, there are actually some other trivial matters to handle:

Minor issues such as "body organs rebelling," "accumulating good karma," and "creating celestial beings."

However, he can deal with these minor issues gradually.

As night fell, he and Ying Jiaren practiced the [Yu Meiren] technique once more.

Ying Jiaren knew he wanted to harvest magical power to sell for money, so she did not ask his Yang spirit to descend as well.

However, she still released her own spirit to cultivate together.

Two physical bodies, one Yin spirit.

When running [Yu Meiren], the efficiency is the same as before.

During this spiritual practice, Wang Quan carefully sensed the speed at which he comprehended the Taoist scriptures.

Based on past experience, the Taoist scriptures after the 20,000th volume are far more difficult than those before.

The speed of comprehension will decrease.

However, his efficiency did not decrease after a night of comprehension; he still managed to complete fifteen volumes.

After comprehending the Taoist scriptures tonight, Wang Quan also gained an unexpected benefit:

In the tenth volume of the Daoist scriptures, he discovered a method to deal with the rebellion of flesh and blood organs in the second layer of the world.

Upon seeing this method, he was overjoyed: "Indeed, this Daoist scripture is the foundation of everything for cultivators."

The knowledge contained in this scripture is truly immense.

"I wonder who compiled the Taoist scriptures back then!"

"That's amazing!"

At this moment, his emphasis on the Daoist scriptures was no longer limited to raising the level of the [Daoist scripture] and strengthening his foundation.

He had a vague feeling:

If one masters 108,000 volumes of Daoist scriptures, then one can master all the secrets of cultivating immortality.

Even whether one can become an immortal or not is related to these 108,000 volumes of Taoist scriptures.

At dawn, I gather the purple aura.

This time, Wang Quan opened his mouth and swallowed a thousand wisps of purple energy.

The purple aura fell into the inner realm, part of which was used to refine magical power, and part was stored away; another part fell into the Yang spirit to refine it.

Ying Jiaren's spirit stretched and returned to the interior scene.

She lay languidly in the pool, letting the maid clean her.

"I'm going to the second layer of the world!"

"Um!"

"I'm going to that hazy grassy hill to continue refining my Yin spirit."

"I feel like I'm almost there!"

Wang Quan's heart skipped a beat: "You're quite fast!"

Ying Jiaren shook her head: "I've been polishing it for over a year."

"Moreover, just as the poppy can accelerate transformation, so can your hazy, grassy hill!"

"But I haven't finished yet, even after all this time."

Wang Quan sighed, "I was slower than you back then!"

Ying Jiaren said coldly, "You weren't in a good position back then!"

"By the way, after I completed my transformation, I accelerated my cultivation of [Life Cultivation]."

"It should be done in three to five months!"

Wang Quan made a mental calculation.

In another three to five months, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals will be completed.

At that time, he will contain the thirty-six Heavenly Gangs and Sha, allowing the beautiful woman's true form to enter the second layer of the world.

When the time comes, we can cultivate together in the second layer of the world, and our progress will be faster.

After a brief chat about their future plans, the two went about their respective tasks.

The Second World:

The buildings emitted white light, their powers interconnected to form a vast safe zone.

Wang Quan, who hadn't been inside for a long time, was overjoyed to see this scene:

"The other cultivators are quite skilled too!"

"Even without my 'Scripture of Salvation,' they can cleanse evil buildings with abundant sunlight."

"Once the method of using sunlight to cleanse evil spreads, will I live to see a second world completely mirroring the real world?"

Just as he was pondering, a cheerful urging voice came from afar:

"Master Zhong is mighty!"

"Mr. Chung is so domineering!"

"As expected, Master Zhong's methods of helping people are the most powerful!"

"Master Zhong, let's go, let's attack that [Embroidery] Hall."

Wang Quan, driven by curiosity, suppressed the urge to move his flesh and looked in the direction of the sound.

Then, he saw the Zhong family monk who practiced the "Scripture of Salvation".

The moment he saw the cultivator surnamed Zhong, he felt a chill run down his spine.
