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

The cultivator from the Si family laughed: "It won't take much time!"

"We've found some monks who are on the verge of a breakdown."

"I hope you can teach them how to help others!"

"Let's see if we can transform them into a form like Brother Zhong!"

Wang Quan felt his moral bottom line being passively lowered again: "You all have the text of the 'Scripture of Salvation'!"

"You can teach them yourselves!"

The Si family cultivator chuckled, "We've arranged for two groups of cultivators who are about to become abnormal."

"For one group, we will teach them the 'Scripture of Helping Others' ourselves; for the other group, we hope you will lend a hand."

Wang Quan suddenly realized.

Goodness, these people even know how to create a control group.

"good!"

"When will it start?"

"Once night falls and the Yin Spirits can enter the second layer of the world, the process will begin immediately!"

Wang Quan nodded: "Okay, no problem!"

He also wanted to see if he could create a few more beings like Zhong Xiushi.

If we can figure it out, then the efficiency of clearing the second layer of the world will be greatly improved again.

Before I knew it, it was evening.

When Wang Quan entered, he saw more than a dozen cultivators who were already showing signs of abnormality.

These cultivators' symptoms were even more severe than those of the cultivator Zhong back then.

Wang Quan spoke up and taught them the art of helping others.

These Yin spirit cultivators were deeply grateful.

Once they learned it, they couldn't wait to cleanse evil and try out the power of the "Salvation Sutra".

Seeing this, Wang Quan couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Do you know you're about to die?"

Several Yin Spirit cultivators nodded: "Of course we know!"

"Those big shots said, 'Let's try out a kind of technique!'"

"Whether we succeed or fail, we can provide our family with some resources."

Wang Quan nodded and turned back to the real world.

In the days that followed, he would take time each day to come in and inquire about the Yin spirit cultivators practicing the "Scripture of Salvation".

first day:

The monk from the Si family said, "These guys fought all night last night."

"Because there are cafeteria meals available, the efficiency is quite good!"

Day 3:

Even during the day, Wang Quan could see this group of Yin God cultivators.

Some cultivators' heads turned into the shape of books, and some cultivators' chests turned into the shape of books.

They turned the pages of the book, releasing the scripture of salvation.

A monk nearby took food from the cafeteria and poured it on them.

Then, these abnormal cultivators can replenish their magical power and continue to release the Sutra of Salvation.

Day 5:

Of the dozen or so Yin Spirit cultivators, only one remains.

Most of the cultivator's body had turned into the shape of a book.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

As the pages turned, one evil figure after another died cursing and vanishing.

This Yin Spirit cultivator was increasingly approaching the state of being in a book.

However, not long after, the Yin Spirit cultivator suddenly emitted green smoke and then disappeared.

"Ugh!"

"Failed again!"

The cultivators from the Si family sighed with emotion.

Wang Quan's heart stirred: "What about the cultivators who self-studied the 'Scripture of Salvation'?"

The Si family cultivator said, "They're dead too!"

"Most of them, after persisting for two or three days, turn into a wisp of smoke and disappear!"

"It seems that replicating a new Brother Zhong is as difficult as climbing to the heavens!"

Wang Quan shook his head: "The sample size is too small!"

"If we get a large enough sample size, we might be able to find a pattern!"

The Si family cultivator shook his head: "During this period, we have tested more than 10,000 cultivators."

Wang Quan was surprised.

The cultivator from the Si family coughed: "Brother Dao, do you perhaps find us cruel?"

Wang Quan shook his head: "No."

"They were destined to die anyway; whether they die a few days earlier or later makes no difference!"

"What surprises me is: how can so many cultivators be on the verge of becoming anomalies?"

He clearly remembered that when he came to the lower temple, he had heard that some people were practicing the higher versions of the fundamental teachings.

However, the quantity is not large; they are relatively rare.

But only a few years have passed? The Si family and other families can easily find tens of thousands of cultivators who are about to become abnormal.

He felt something was wrong.

The Si family cultivator sighed, "Over the years, many people, including our Si family, have been researching and perfecting the new law."

"Then the number of cultivators practicing the fundamental methods across different versions increased."

"Actually, we also have some doubts: because, according to family records, there have been cultivators in the past who practiced fundamental methods that surpassed the versions of the Daoist scriptures."

"However, they often only show abnormalities when they die of old age."

"When the time comes, just burn the body; there won't be any issues!"

"But now, even if the body is burned, something unusual will still happen."

"Unless you hire a funeral service that specializes in dealing with anomalies, you can't completely prevent them from becoming anomalies."

The king remained silent.

He thought of some wicked words being spoken over there in the cafeteria, and subconsciously muttered:

"At this rate, will our world be filled with anomalies someday?"

"And then, one day the sky collapses? And we fall into a place like a second layer of the world? Becoming the evil that later generations speak of?"

The cultivator from the Si family laughed heartily: "Fellow Daoist, you jest."

"If there are any issues, address them; if there are no issues, just continue living peacefully!"

"The present world is ultimately not the second world!"

What happens in the second layer of the world will never be repeated in the real world.

"And so what if it happens again?"

"At best, we'll only reach the Purple Mansion or Golden Core level as cultivators."

"If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; it has nothing to do with us!"

Wang Quan thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true!"

"This has nothing to do with us!"

"Right now, all we can do is keep expanding the safe zone and reflect more pre-modern architecture into it!"

"As for the rest... we'll talk about it later!"

In the days that followed, Wang Quan no longer paid attention to the research of the Si family and others; he focused more on eliminating evil and accumulating good karma.

Thus, the crow flies and the rabbit runs:

A month later, he received a letter from the round-faced Taoist nun, the gist of which was as follows:

I've regained control of the family; I'm now cultivating sunflower essences and expanding the scale, and they'll be put to use in six months at most.

Qian Xiuyue gave me some grafted and improved sunflower seeds, and I've arranged for someone to take care of them.

I've been in talks with some new sects about collaboration; they'll help me refine the Foundation Establishment Aura.

I've gained control of one-tenth of the Immortal Cult of my home empire; I originally intended to expand further, but was blocked by cultivators from the Great Sun Path; fortunately, my mission is mostly complete, and once I transport several batches of seekers to the Lower Academy, the Lower Academy will prepare some Foundation Establishment spiritual light for me!

Life back home is actually quite comfortable; here, I'm practically a local tyrant: I can command the wind and rain, it's incredibly enjoyable; however, none of this enjoyment compares to the allure of Foundation Establishment.

After learning about the round-faced Taoist nun's situation, Wang Quan replied to her.

He mentioned the situation in the second layer of the world, the abnormal cultivators, and the cultivator surnamed Zhong; finally, he mentioned the Daoist scriptures again.

"Taoist scriptures are important; reading them more will help you understand everything."

In the very end, he wrote:

"I hope you achieve your foundational goals soon and return in glory!"
