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

The flower fairy was bewildered: "Master, it's just some bricks and mud. The spirits inside can easily handle it. There's no need to find other spirits!"

Wang Quan frowned: "You little brat, if I tell you to do something, you do it!"

"If you continue to question me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The flower fairy's expression changed drastically: "Master, please don't be angry."

"I'll get to work right away."

Ruthlessly destroying flowers?

The word itself is terrifying.

She's still so delicate, how could she be abused by a big guy like the master?

Whoosh!

The flower fairy flew away.

Before long, a group of monsters, including bull demons and bear demons, came over.

These spirits, after a period of self-study and improvement, have become quite adept at tasks such as hammering stones, carrying things, and other manual labor.

They thought there was another big project coming up, so they came with shovels, crowbars, baskets and other tools, looking excited and looking forward to the king's arrangements.

Wang Quan pointed to the foundation-building platform and said, "Everyone, go inside and get to work."

The group of spirits looked bewildered at the spirit bricks and the small amount of spirit mud on the ground: "Master, this construction site is so small, you don't need so many spirits!"

"We have even less need for our guys."

Wang Quan chuckled: "Just do your jobs."

"Once you go inside, you'll naturally know how to set up the altar!"

The group of spirits exchanged glances, feeling bewildered, but still obediently stepped inside.

When the first spirit stepped onto the 365-zhang platform, it suddenly noticed a change in its perspective:

The sky seemed higher, and the towering mountains disappeared, replaced by an endless expanse of flat land.

At this moment, the spirits behind were surprised.

Because they discovered that the spirits that first stepped onto the platform shrank at a visible speed, eventually shrinking to the size of a peanut.

"How amazing!"

Many spirits and monsters praised it.

This was the first time they had encountered something like this, and it truly felt mysterious and wonderful to them.

Thousands of spirits entered the framework of the platform, then their bodies shrank. At the same time, in their minds, many techniques such as polishing spirit bricks, maintaining spirit bricks, applying spirit lacquer, maintaining murals, and painting appeared.

These memories are like innate instincts, imprinted in their minds and in their bodies.

They displayed their skills, appearing out of thin air, with surprising proficiency.

Normal-sized spirit bricks now appeared as insurmountable boulders in the eyes of the many spirits.

They used methods such as building gantry cranes and rolling logs to transport the spirit bricks.

As time went on, these spirits began to emit an invisible aura of the mortal world.

This worldly energy was absorbed by the Foundation Establishment Platform, refining some of its own qualities.

Wang Quan was unaware that the Foundation Establishment Platform would absorb the energy of the mortal world.

He was simply following the method for refining the altar.

Finally, he transferred 36,500 monsters into it.

From now on, if any of the spirits inside die, he will have the flower fairies arrange for new spirits to go in, thus maintaining that number.

In addition, there are also birds and other spirits that transport the resources produced in the thirty-six halls of the Drowned Lower Court into the Daotai.

And what he needs to do is:

Every day, I need to set aside some time to refine a Taoist altar using earth, fire, and feng shui.

Finally, he infused the altar with more than 20,000 streams of magical power to maintain its mystique.

February....

Ying Jiaren and Wang Quan went to Wailing Mountain again.

On the mountain, two old Taoist priests exchanged [drowning] with them.

This time, the two old Taoist priests were even more enthusiastic than before.

They told the two of them a lot about what happened back then.

Wang Quan listened with great interest.

On the contrary, Ying Jiaren was not interested in these things.

March....

Ying Jiaren successfully separated the [Drowning of Qingfu] and [Drowning of Hanshan], and then gave Wang Quan a drop of each.

After obtaining two drops of [Drowning Water], Wang Quan couldn't wait to refine and master it.

Only after he mastered these two types of drowning did he realize:

Although these drowning methods have different names, they all have the same effect: accelerating the forging of magical artifacts and amplifying the power of spells.

Of the more than three hundred characteristics, only a handful are different.

For example:

The spell 【Drowning of the Green Cicada】 can forcibly extract the opponent's vital energy and then turn it into Green Cicada coins.

The spells blessed by 【Hanshan Drowning】, whether they are of the earth, fire, wind, or water type, or of the spring, summer, autumn, and winter type, will all have a layer of coldness.

Although Wang Quan did not personally refine these two drowning potions, after tempering and mastering them, he still discovered many of the mysteries of drowning potions.

On a sudden impulse, he stored the drowning water in his acupoint.

The water entering the acupoints emits strange fluctuations, amplifying the power of the acupoints and accelerating the progress of [Life Cultivation].

At the same time, one can also use the power of acupoints to cut oneself, thereby completing the process of one life becoming two.

However, he did not set out any rituals, so these two [drowning] babies will have to wait three months to become a second child.

April.....

Ying Jiaren gave him a drop of [incense drowning water].

As usual, Wang Quan placed the needle in the acupoint for cutting.

However, once the incense-infused water enters the acupoint, these three types of drowning become interconnected.

All three drowning powers are superimposed on the magic.

If he so chooses, every spell he casts will carry three unique [Drowning] properties.

With these attributes, his magical power doubled; combined with the doubled boost from the [Second-Rank Daoist Script], as well as the enhancement of pure magical power and the perfect version of the spell:

His spells, no matter how casually cast, are two or three times more powerful than those of any orthodox cultivator.

The black bird flies and the rabbit runs:

As time went on, everything got back on track.

Wang Quan and Ying Jiaren used the reduced time for cleansing evil to refine [Drowning].

Initially, Wang Quan thought it would take half a year to refine a drowning potion.

When he actually started refining it, he discovered that he had only spent two months refining a single drop of Drowning Water, and the amount of money he had spent was only a few billion Green Cows.

This result threw Yingjia into a state of turmoil:

"The difference between you and me seems to be only the [Dao Seal] rank."

"It's only a one-rank difference, how can the gap be so huge?"

"Senior brother, let's stop practicing [Drowning] for now."

"Help me reach the [Second Rank Dao Seal] level first!"

"I only need two more volumes of Taoist scriptures to reach 20,000 volumes!"

Originally, she planned to gradually work through the last two volumes of the Taoist scriptures using the water-grinding technique.

Now that she's been provoked by the power of the king, she simply can't take it anymore.

The two had almost identical foundations in cultivation methods and techniques; the only difference was the grade of their [Dao Seal].

Because of the difference in grade, it takes her 20 billion Qingfu for half a year to refine a single drop of [Drowning Water], while Wang Quan only needs a few billion and can refine a single drop of Drowning Water in two months.

The difference is too great.

Therefore, she didn't want to wait a moment longer and immediately begged Wang Quan to help her with her cultivation.

Wang Quan readily agreed: "No problem!"

Back then, Ying Jiaren sacrificed her own progress to help him go into seclusion and cultivate.

Now that the other party is facing difficulties, he naturally wants to help.

Having learned from their previous retreat, the two were able to handle various tasks and prepare a lot of materials more calmly this time.

Once everything was ready, the two main bodies and their spirits stepped into the second layer of the world and headed straight for the Scripture Pavilion to begin their seclusion.
